Well today I had no school, because of the tornado of yesterday. I was really light headed because of what we had to do. It was really tiring that we had to sit in the same uncomfortable position. I had a major headache and I slept as soon as l got back from school. Right now I am going to king tiger taekwondo for the jr. instructors camp.

Today, the school was pretty fun. It was a good start for the 2nd semester and 3rd quarter. In science, we are learning about the Human Body Systems. We are doing this fun Group project, where we all- the group members, choose one of the following areas to focus on. Cardiology, Pulmonology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Infectious Disease, and Orthopedic Surgery. We are also starting a project in Social Studies about the Revolutions. This quarter will be pretty interesting. That was my day! Bye.

Today was the pre-test and l was honestly so scared and nervous. But I think l did pretty well and I felt way more relaxed than I thought I would be. After I came home from the pre-test, I ate and then was on my phone because I was pretty tired. Then I wanted to do something so I thought of painting. I painted a painting for my teacher in school. That's all I did today.
