"writing down things that happened". Finally getting over here to post them is another story, lol.

october•my assistant teacher's daughter brought her new baby in! He's so cute! What a handsome little squish🥰 I guess he's our class representative now ( Read more... )

•september brought a nice weather pattern, it was very cool and fall-like at night. Now it's October and we're back in the 90-100s. Our teacher keeps the classroom nice and cold though, I just have to remember to bring something with sleeves ( Read more... )

New Things•new song obsession: "Jupiter" by Gustav Holst. I was watching youtube shorts; in one, they interviewed figure skaters about music they wished they could use for a program, and one said “Jupiter” from the ‘Planets’… symphony(?)(idk what it’d be called but there’s 9 parts to it, one for each planet). I listened to it (only Jupiter, but I ( Read more... )

•my niece went on bed rest back in late August, expecting New Baby to come within that first week of September. But I guess she was pretty comfortable in her mom's belly, she didn't come until my dad's birthday (mid-month ( Read more... )

•my mother is obsessed with the idea of me teaching children's church at our church. I don't want to, because she shut me down from volunteering at church before, and I don't want to get trapped again. She claims that this time is different, but I don't see how.
