Pizza, Writing and Flute

I have to start with a statement... I LOVE MY SENIOR CIVICS CLASS! I love being able to voice my political opinions in class. I am learning so much about government not from reading a textbook, but by discussing issues and debating how we would handle them right in our very own classroom. Most everyone in the class is well informed. I love being aware of everything that is happening on the news because people surprisingly listen to me on certain subjects. I have never had people really ask me for my opinions before or see if I knew what was going on. It's really great. The discussions get heated, and statistics are thrown, however never viciously. We all respect one another's opinions, which is very rare, and a huge blessing to me.

Part of our Senior Civics homework is to prepare a family dinner. I decided to cook pizza. It was good. I DIDN'T RUIN IT! I was very excited. I set the table to make it look nice and we had some really great discussions. As a class, we believe that coming together at the very least once a week as a whole family is a necessity for a properly functioning society.

Creative Writing class is over tomorrow and I am so sad. I have never experienced a greater joy in a class than in Writing. My teacher knows just how to make it fun and exciting. She is a fantastsic critic and has even published a book of her own. I will miss her when I graduate.

In a couple weeks I have music auditions for schools. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME! I am very nervous. I have practiced my butt off, but I still need a lot of help.

Thanks for listening!
