ADOPTION NEWS!!!! ...oh, and the First Week of School

So the past seemingly forever, whenever we've been asked about the adoption, it's been a sigh and a rolling of the eyes. It was always so far away and never seemed to get any closer. But a few days ago, my dad told me that the referrals were at February 9th (I think) and our date is March 13th. Basically meaning, that all the adoption websites are predicting we'll get our referral in FEBRUARY!!!!! That's only six months away which is SO much better than waiting until this summer. Besides that information, I don't really know much about it, but I just thought I'd share with y'all the exciting news!!

Another "exciting" thing recently was the first week of school. So far, my AP European History class is my favorite. By quite a bit, actually. That's one of the two classes we've actually done something in. On Thursday night, I spent almost two hours reading six pages of my textbook. I took about two pages of notes, plus 11 vocabulary words. Of course, I took a couple 5 minute breaks, but still, that's a pretty hefty time to spend on six pages... Hopefully that time will shorten up as the year goes on. The only other class we've really done anything in is Math. The rest of my day is pretty boring as of now. Hopefully that will get better, too...

Well, Andrew has a football game in about an hour and I should probably go and get ready for that. But there'll be more updates coming!
