Tomorrow is Monday. What I hate about Mondays is that it is the first day back to school after the weekend. Over the weekend, I usually get to sleep in but, on school days I have to wake up really early. Which makes it really hard to wake up on Monday mornings. Mondays are also not the most fun days I think because sometimes we just review what we did the Friday before in case we had forgotten over the weekend. Or for Math class it's actually harder because we have to move on to a new lesson and often times we don't get to review what we learned the week before and sometimes I forget what we had learned. So for me Mondays are not my favorite days of the week but, without Mondays weeks just wouldn't be the same. Even though a Monday might not be as fun as a Friday or Saturday, I think Mondays are still here to stay.
So, today I was really bored because we had school off today 'cause of Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday. Since I already had to wake up for an eye doctor appointment today I couldn't go back to sleep. So I was digging through my closet of stuff and I found a beading kit that I had gotten a while ago. I opened it up and decided to bead. Since I've already made a ton of bracelets and stuff from before I decided to try something new. Inside the kit I found some wire, beads of course, hooks and a tiny piece of paper just showing you how to twist the wire to make different things. So I decided to try to make earrings. After a lot of twisting and bending I finally came out with a pair of decent earrings. In the picture the color isn't that nice, but it's actually a very nice shade of like a mossy, emerald green. Anyways that was my crafty activity for this weekend. I still can't believe that I made a pair of actual earrings that you can actually wear!!!! I guess it kind of comes in my genes, since my aunt is really good at making earrings. Never mind she technically is only related through marriage, but still. Below I posted a picture of a pair of earrings my aunt made for me. Hers are amazing! Anyways at least i can make a pair, I'm so proud of myself!
As you all know we are all back in school again. It has been two weeks only and it already seems like winter break was so long ago. So far school has been pretty boring,no offense to the teachers. There have been some good things about coming back to school though. In plastics I finally finished my ballerina project which took me like forever. I also got to develop my negatives in photography and see how all my pictures turned out. I was so nervous the first day we got back because I had to go first to develop my negatives and I was afraid I would do something wrong and have to reshoot everything. It was such a nervewracking hour. Lucky for me all my pictures were fine and I didn't have to reshoot. I felt bad for some of the people who did though especially if they had went somewhere awesome for vacation. Anyways I still cant believe that we still have like 2 months of school until spring break. I can't wait 'till spring break because I'm actually going somewhere. I am going to France and Germany!! It's going to be so fun, but for now im going to have to sit through 2 long months of school.(Below is a picture of my finished ballerina project. Srry the hands are kind of weird because i couldn't cut out the fingers because they were too tiny.)
