Happy Friday! I join you from a spot on my sofa next to the fire, gazing out across the frozen abyss glaring back at me through the window... Okay, that was a little dramatic, but it has been super snowy here in Portland recently. We've only had one day of school this week, but SMA started doing a new thing called a Digital Learning Day. Although we don't have school today, we can interact with our teachers via email and complete assignments online so that we still stay on track for our finals next week. At first, I was a little wary about the new procedure, but I actually like how it keeps me motivated to do my work while at home!
Besides school work, something that I did recently outside of school was volunteer at Providence's annual Christmas present opening party. I know it seems like a long time ago, but I haven't written a post since then so here we are! It was a really cool event to be able to work with the kids, helping them open their new presents and interact with Santa and his elves. There were also carolers there that kept the party going with some awesome Christmas jams! I also took the opportunity to try something new this year and submit some of my art to the Scholastic Art Contest! It had always been something I wanted to do, and I took my last chance this year to finally do it... It was a little scary to turn something over that I'd made to judges, but overall, I am definitely excited that I went through with it! Art has been a passion of mine for a long time, and I had kind of been neglecting it, but this was the perfect push for me to continue to do it. I'd say it was a good start to the year.
As we move forward, I am focused mostly on acing my finals, and then getting acclimated to my new schedule! I hope that all of you have a wonderful 2017!
See you next time,
Bryn '17
