Between Semesters

Dear Blog,

So much for "I hope to find time to blog during the busy school schedule." Summer school has been over for two weeks and the fall semester will begin for Cuesta in about a week and a half. My textbooks, turquoise five-subject notebook, and I are all set to begin!

I made myself a small to-do list a while ago for the short vacation between semesters including "Update Blog." However, I wanted this update to include pictures of my recently redecorated room. With Elizabeth's help I have gone from the Fanciful Fairy theme I've had for nearly ten years to Audrey Hepburn inspired Paris Chic. Because, as Audrey says, "Paris is always a good idea." Maybe within the next week I will track down a camera and take some photos of my new bedroom/school room.

In a way I am going to miss the school room setting this fall, and I've already been missing the face-to-face interaction with a teacher when I have a question. Asking questions in class is easier than typing messages back and forth with hundreds of miles between us. But there is a tremendous amount of freedom in knowing that I don't have to be in a classroom at a specific time. It's almost like being home-schooled again.

Well, tomorrow is Friday, the day I go to the library for book processing so I should get to sleep. Good night, whoever is reading this.
