back to the Chirp at Cricket

Good idea! 

So I'm starting camp today and I'm pretty nervous but also excited, which will be fun.
Also, I started a gratitude journal and I've been doing a very good job limiting the time I spend playing a video game that I used to be obsessed with. Limiting time spent on this game will help me take screen time down. 
Also-also, I redecorated my bulliten board and cleaned up my desk, plus I rediscovered a writing thing I have where a bunch of authors give tips and prompts for writing. 
So yeah, I'm doing pretty good!

Yesterday I wanted to try and compliment three people a day, because being nice is cool! Yesterday, I told a girl wearing demonias boots that her boots looked nice, and a girl's pink hair. I wanted to compliment a boy who was wearing a skirt (because I thought he was really brave), but I had to go run to my class XD. Today, I complimented my deskmate's drawing, and a classmate's necklace. I didn't get in the third one today either XD

That's a cool idea to compliment at least 3 people each day. I hope you won't mind if I try that too?

Last Thursday I went to a local felting shop I hadn't been to in a couple of years. They have so many beautiful colors of wool, felting supplies, and some local art and pottery. I bought some wool and a really nice felting mat. The owner is soo super nice and even gave me a little ball of red roving she had extra! It was such an awesome morning, and I felt positively buoyant the rest of the day. :)

I wrote a new song a couple days ago! And, I made a b-day present for one of my friends yesterday. It's a LEGO minifigure that looks like her.

And, I'm totally addicted to LEGO Jurassic World series! Yay!

This morning on the way to school, I saw a rainbow. It was really fadey and pastel and beautiful.

I read the comments to a YouTube video for the first time a few days ago and I regained some of my faith in the world.

I'm really enjoying history so far.

My new math teacher asked for our pronouns on the get-to-know-you worksheet. ,

Same! My math teacher (new, because of middle school!!!!) asked our pronouns on a get-to know-you sheet (that I kinda forgot about...). Also, rainbows are really pretty.

My new science 'partners' are 1: Hilarious 2: Nerdy and 3: Bookworms. The best I can ask from for lab teammates!

The digital learners (one being ME) from last year are now friends in-person. Yay! (One is a lab partner)

I'm on the school newspaper team!!!!! (I'm extra excited about that one - I've wanted to do newspaper forever!)

I got an A on my Social Studies Test yesterday! 

I'm becoming friends with one of this year's newbies!

Love it! I didn't know you felted,Jubi! My happy thing is that my first week of school went really well. I'm new at this school and I was really nervous but I ultimately had a lot of fun!

(I love the idea of this thread, Juni!!) 

One of my teachers has an entire wall of books for us to read, and I've been enjoying it very much. 

I might get to visit one of my favorite places ever soon, and I am really, really hyped about that! 

I can open my lock in PE now! 

My math teacher is super cool. 

One of the girls on my debate team took my bags to class for me the other day because I had to dash off to do something before break was over. (she's very cool)

The pumpkin I'm growing in my garden is getting really big, and my dad promised he'll make pumpkin pie with me when it's ripe!

The weather is cooling down a little bit!

Someone complimented my hair today :)

I think I'm going to try out for my high school's soccer team!
