January was a great month and since it's almost the end, it's time for a review. This month was my absolute favorite for a couple of reasons: I turned 18 and school is finally back in session (yes, I'm that unusual one that looks forward to school).

On the Blog:
I did three posts this month on this blog and five on my other blog:
Books:
"School, why do you never allow me time to read books for fun?"
"Because you read enough in your textbooks"
Alright, I'll keep reading my textbooks but hopefully I'll get a book or two more read next month.
- Memories of Glass by Melanie Dobson
- Crusader King: A Novel of Baldwin IV and the Crusades by Susan Peek
- The Shadow of the Bear: Snow White and Red Rose Retold by Regina Doman
- The Minnesota Driver's Manual (Does a manual count as a book? I did read it cover to cover to study for my permit test...)
School/Other Happenings:
Spring semester started for college, which has been pretty fun and interesting. I have three classes right now, with a fourth starting in March. Interpersonal Communication, Exploring Biology, the Research Paper, and Geocaching. I also have Calculus for high school, but second semester just started so I haven't done any real work for it yet. So far Exploring Biology is my favorite class, but the Research Paper might pass to first next month when I actually start researching for the big paper.
Something else exciting happened this month: In person band started! Band is the one class that has been affected by you know what because it's the only class I take at the high school. Virtual band just doesn't work, but most other high school classes do. It's hybrid right now so I only get to rehearse with half the class, but it's better than not rehearsing at all. We also get to have the school's first outdoor concert, so Minnesota please bring us some warm weather in May!
The last exciting event of the month is that I turned 18 on one of the twelve days of Christmas. Officially an adult! Besides doing the normal cake celebration, I went on an 18 mile bike ride, which was totally worth it. :)
February Plans:
- Continue with school and start researching for my 3600 word research paper
- Read more books, hopefully!
- Take down our Christmas Tree on Candlemas, which marks the official end to Christmastide
- Begin Lent
- Survive the cold that is supposed to come (below zero weather next week)
How was your January? Am I the only one who looks forward to school? Do you have any exciting plans for next month?
Happy Birthday! Congrats on turning 18! Is it weird to finally be an adult? XD
ReplyDelete"The Minnesota Driver's Manual" <<FAR too relatable. I read my state's driver's manual cover to cover before my test, too.
Ooh, Shadow of the Bear! That's a really good one! I like Regina Doman's work a lot.
I took Interpersonal Communication at my community college last year! Are you taking it for fun, or is it a prerequisite? Biology is so fun! I'm taking a Bio class right now, too. :)
Have a lovely February!
Thank you! I wouldn't say it's weird to finally be an adult, but it seems like it came too fast. :)
DeleteShadow of the Bear was really good. It was my favorite read this month!
At my community college, a communications class is required for everyone, so Interpersonal Communications is one of the options to fulfill the requirement.
Have a lovely February too!
Happy birthday!!! An 18 mile bike ride sounds like an awesome way to celebrate, but I can't imagine it this time of year with all of the snow around where I live!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a good February!
Thanks, MC! Surprisingly, it hasn't snowed much here. Usually, Minnesota has quite a few inches, but the roads were all clear for my birthday, so it was a great ride.
DeleteI hope you enjoy your February too!
