My Apology & NWAAFA

I am so so so sorry for neglecting my blog. And thank you Grandma for mentioning to me that it has been since July 14th since my last entry... I have a few excuses, so hear me out;
1. I have had a writer's block since I got back from Youth Conference.
2. I have so much to write I don't know where to start. I've tried many times to talk about certain things, but those two reasons put together are just too much.
3. I am going to an actual school in 3 1/2 days! So much to do. In fact, I'm going to the school tonight to get my class schedule, supplies list, etc. SO exciting.
4. . . . I don't really have a fourth.
I will elaborate more on my excuses. (Oh joy) 1--I still am trying to write about YC, but whenever I do I start rambling about one thing in particular that doesn't really have anything to do with it! But also, three days of lots of activity can be hard to cram in one post, I've even tried just talking about the first day, but no can do. I will try again soon, though, because I'm sure you're dying to know about my three day Amish hiking trip--a pioneer trek. I also have to talk about Mamma Mia, the best movie EVER, and how I can't stop listening to the soundtrack! also, Twilight has occupied my brain ever since I got back also. Either that, or a certain someone.♥ I had thought I had a breakthrough when one evening I wrote for a long time on this one story that I hadn't been able to write in for a while, but then I tried my blog and POOF, my inspiration had disappeared.
Yes. I am going to school. And yes, it starts August fourth, two weeks from when all the other schools start. It's Northwest Arkansas Academy of Fine Arts, which has been operating for only one year so far. Despite it's new-ness, it's already a very popular school--It's got a waiting list now. It's a nice, small school that holds up to 200 students only. I love it. And, obviously, it's a school with all the fun stuff that I like; Theatre, arts-including digital art and graphic design!-, film, and lots of other really awesome things. But don't worry, they have a strong academics curriculum.
I am so pumped for school! Kinda lame, I know, being excited and all... but I'm also so nervous. I don't know what to expect! My friend that went there last year says everyone is best friends and that everybody is nice, and the teachers can be fun--except for apparently the principals class, heard that was a snoozer--and that I will have a great time. I want to believe it, but my pessimism just keeps going and going. I have a fear of all the wrong things that could possibly happen on the first day will happen to me. I'll fall in front of everybody, the teacher will call on me and I have the wrong answer, I have to eat lunch in the bathroom... haha. I know some freshmen, a junior, a senior, and one girl in my grade, who I'm not great friends with. Fortunately on the trek I was blessed to have her in my group, so now we talk when we see each other. I think I've been most worried about Lunch. Who the heck am I gonna sit with? What if all my friends are in the same lunch period but I have the one after/before? That would be awful. Ugh. I almost start to hyperventilate at just the thought of my first week. Both from nerves and excitement!
And, I know the school is real small, but I'm pretty positive it will take a while to learn where all my classes are. There are three different buildings, one with the cafeteria, one with the E.A.S.T. lab, and a chapel that is now the auditorium. --I forgot to mention that this school used to belong to a church.-- I think we only have five minutes or less to get to the next class! I'm gonna die!!
....Sorry. I'm calm now.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Now I am going to tell you what classes I'm taking;
English--Which I might switch over AP English, whether I'm bored or not.
U.S. History--even though I did it in seventh or eighth grade. then I might switch to government.
Biology--Not sure what to think about that...
Algebra 1--I didn't really get it at all last year. :(
And now for my electives! Ah!
Acting 1--Everything else was full, but I don't mind this!
Survey Art--again, everything else was full. It would've been awesome to do digital or graphic design.
E.A.S.t. lab--This sounds pretty cool. I'm not sure how to describe it, so I'll give details once I've actually experienced it.
I am so excited for those! Yay! :)
. . . .
Hmm, I think I've gotten over my writing block.. mehbeh. :D
Oh, and I guess I DO have a fourth excuse.. I'm planning on playing a piano solo in Sacrament meeting in a couple weeks, hopefully the Sunday before James leaves for Houston. So I've been practicing that quite often. It's "If you could hie to kolob". I absolutely LOVE that song! It's my favorite hymn. And I couldn't find a solo in any of my books with that song in particular, so I was just messing around with it just from the book and I've come up with a nice arrangement and have created a different left hand and what not. I hope it will work out good...
Well, I have to go get ready for tonight! Love you!

Oh, and Alyssa, I will do the Tag-Song thing either tonight or tomorrow! :D
