Today is the last day of my Fall Break. I was supposed to visit my In-Mayberry-Living friend Hannah this weekend, but it didn't work out. Bummer. She's supposed to visit in December though! Aside from those plans falling through, I've had a pretty nice break. It hasn't been super relaxing because I've had to work on a few things for school and we've been cleaning our disgusting house all weekend, but it's still nice to have some semblance of a break, you know.
On Friday I got to spend some time with my lovely friend Kendyl. We went to the football game at her school. It was really fun; she lives in this little town and everyone walks to the football games. And it felt somewhat fall-ish. And we won by a lot. After the game we walked to her place of residence and watched about ten zillion episodes of The Office. So great.
On Saturday I had my first Rita's experience. It was wonderful. It really was "Ice. Custard. Happiness." just like they promised. Sunday we went to church (for a few minutes, at least) and to lunch with the family. It was my dad's birthday so he went golfing and we had some birthday festivities when he came home. So far today I've pretty much just been reading the paper for Knowledge Bowl. Fun times. I still have 7 things left on my to-do list. At least it's only 12:30!
Forgive the awkward layout of my blog right now. I'm a little challenged when it comes to all these layouts and formats and such. I'm trying to get it fixed though.
In other news, school is going really well. I'm learning a lot and meeting some really nice people. Best/hardest year yet. I also quit band: good call. I'm trying to, you know, keep chill and enjoy all the mundane things.
In approximately 20 days I will embark on my first novel-writing journey as part of National Novel Writing Month. I'll have 30 days to write a 50,000-word novel. I'm so stoked but I'm sure it's going to be rather intense. Goodbye sleep, for sure. If you would like to participate, just go to http://ywp.nanowrimo.org and sign up!
Well, I should be going. Have a good day!
Much Love,
Marissa
