America Inside Out
A little bit about everything...3/18/2018 Hi guys!
I really don’t have any special ideas for this blog post, so I’ll just tell you few things I did this week. Firstly, I started doing tennis. I am not a sporty person at all, but as America is all about sports, I decided to try. And I am happy I did! I have never played before, so now I can’t even hit the ball with the racket, but I think it will be better by the end of the season. A little bit of irony: every day when I am dying by the end of the practice, the turkey vultures come and start circling above the courts, which makes me feel like I am literally something dead… Secondly, I became a member of the National Honor Society. That was an amazing ceremony with cookies and punch afterward. I am really grateful to my friend Alayna for the beautiful speech she wrote about me. The only thing that makes me confused is that we have to do some volunteer hours every year to stay a member. But I won’t be here next semester to do it. Does it mean that they are going to kick me out? If not, does it mean that I am a cheater who doesn’t do her work but stays a member? Also, I was “lucky” enough on St. Patrick’s Day to wait 20 minutes in the line at Skyline for the green spaghetti and realize that the customer in front of me get the last portion:( However, the Universe re-counted my karma and gave me a little bit of luck to find a perfect prom dress. I bumped into it by accident and now I am really looking forward to wearing it. To sum up, that was a good week! 7 more days before the spring break! We can do it!
