Hello again!

It's been a while... since this is kind of a school blog I could at least update what's been going on at school right? Well, after a short, fun summer school started again. So far it's been kind of a weird year for me... lots of things seem really different and weird. I love my B days but not my A days so much. Homecoming week and dance were super awesome I'd say. :) I know I had lots of fun in Neverland! I feel like I'm still playing catch up. But overall everything's going great! I love being back to my second home! :) Now I just have to decide what to dress up as for the Halloween Dance...
