Hey
I have had an awesome weekend!! There's
nothing like a Friday night party with friends, followed by a
sleepover :D My friends are the best! We played games, we laughed, we
ate, (I got something in my throat and coughed for two minutes) we
went outside in the wetness, ate candy, watched a movie, and danced
around to Toby Mac and other artists!! In other words, it was an
awesome party! (anyone who thinks home schoolers don't party, think
again. We party hard, but in a good way!) After the party, I slept
over at my friend's house. (same friend who hosted the party.) After
we got everything cleaned up, we had tea with her mom, and had some
great conversation. Then went “to bed” and talked for 2 more
hours... Finally we went to sleep around 1:30. Needless to say, we
were quite tired today!!
Later after I was back home, my mom,
little sister, and I went shopping. Thrift stores are normally great,
but didn't have so much success with what I needed today. Party
because I wasn't in the mood to sort through racks and racks of
clothes that weren't organized well at all. I did buy three scarves
though, so that was nice!! (Seriously, don't pay 20 bucks for a
scarf! Get one at the thrift stores for less than 5!)
Tonight, I started writing my
NaNoWriMo novel! For those of you who don't know what NaNoWriMo is,
it was founded by someone on the cliffs of insanity. Oh wait, no it
wasn't. But the person who found it might have suffered from
insanity! (By the way, auto correct thinks I mean noncriminal. I
assure you, us writers aren't criminals, no matter what may appear in
our search histories!) NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing
Month. So basically, participants write as much as they can of a
novel, without editing. The goal is to encourage people to just
write, without critiquing too much. It's just to have fun, and get a
story out of you! For people who want their writing published, it's
an opportunity to work really hard to get the first draft out. I'm
doing the young writers part of the program, with a word count goal
of 20,000. That is just a brief summary of NaNo. It's really a lot
crazier than that! I might write another post going into it more.
Anyways, that is what has been
happening in my life this weekend!! Tomorrow will be lots more
writing, and... studying for science and Bible tests on Monday...
whoopdeedoo... I hope you are all having a great weekend!!
