My Weekly Update

This week has been pretty crazy. For half of the week, I didn't have any power. For the first couple of days, I tried very hard to look on the bright side of the situation but eventually got really annoyed and sick of it. Fortunately, it came back on Tuesday night after four days, which really seemed like forever. On the bright side, I did get to miss 3 days of school which is extra exciting this year, seeing as I don't have to make up the days at the end of the year. I babysat during my days off and was able to earn a lot of money. Thursday was my first day back to school and we mostly spent the day catching up in all of my classes, continuing from where we last were. After five days out of school, I had forgotten what we were learning before we left. If we already had 3 snow days, I can only imagine what this winter will bring. I don't mind the occasional snow but I eventually get sick of it and look forward to summer. Friday night I stayed home, caught up on some homework, and watched movies. I also watched one of my favorite shows, Extreme Makeover Home Edition. This week the episode was focused on a soldier that had returned from Iraq with PTSD. The episode was eye opening and made me even more thankful for all of the brave men and women serving our country. This morning I went shopping with my mom and sister and then attended my cousin's birthday party. She turned 3 today and the party was princess themed and very cute. This week has been very tiring and I am looking forward to catching up on some sleep tonight and gaining an extra hour.
