School is good, I've made a few friends, and classes are ridiculously easy. I got my scholarship check ~ $500 (they were supposed to deduct $150 for tuition and didn't, i'm not complaining)! And I joined an honor society which gives monthly scholarship opportunities, so i'm going to jump on top of that as soon as possible.
I learned how to ride a bike! Finally! I returned the Trike my dad bought me, and brought up the bike he bought me when I was in the 9th or 10th grade, it's really smooth and handles well ... I figure in about a week or two or three, i'll be comfortable enough to take it out on the main roads to get to and from school. I keep getting blisters on my hands because i'm still really tense with fear. I learned how to turn the bike without falling over today. :)
Janice and I have date night each Wednesday, we're pretty much just going to watch a movie each week and maybe eat out or cook for each other.
I've lost about 7 pounds since I've been up here, and that's pretty much because I make soup constantly, and because I drink 3 smoothies on average per week.
And the 18th-20th i'll be in Coral Springs, on the 18th i'll be shadowing Mrs. Read at Coral Glades the entire day, yay intro to education.
