Where I have been + Life update

It has been almost three months since I last posted. I never thought I would take a break that long, but I needed it.  With COVID stress, school exams, sports and other activities, life hasn’t been that easy. I am currently on winter break; I have two weeks off school. Starting next school year, it’s grade 8, high school. According to everyone, high school is so much fun! I don’t think so, I’m a little nervous, honestly.

Anyway, it was my 12^th birthday in November! We went to a light show the day before. On my birthday, I got breakfast in bed and spent the day watching a movie. I got a new phone, clothes, a headset, and a couple pairs of earrings.

On October 30th, I organized a Halloween party with a costume contest and other fun games. We preponed our Christmas party for Dec 19^th. It was originally planned to be on the 24^th, but there is a new restriction after the 20^th, allowing only 10 people to gather indoors beside the host household. We played games and it was a lot of fun. There was no turkey this year, but that was alright ‘cause the food was still amazing.

I also had a volleyball tryout this week for the Volleybox Winter League and I was accepted, which was so exciting! Before the winter break, we had the Young Entrepreneurs Fair at school. I made handmade scented soaps. I sold out in five hours! I know it sounds like a lot, but others took longer and the people at my school are very picky about what they buy. I’m donating 20% of the money I earned to two local charities.

I also started practicing meditation a few weeks ago which taught me breathing and relaxation techniques.

This was a pretty short post, but I thought an update would be nice. I’m most likely going to post more often.

Anyway, how have you been? And any suggestions or ideas for a new post?

🎄Merry Christmas!🎄
