      I spent this past week on a field study to Congaree national park, and another area in South Carolina! It was loads of fun!! On the first night there we walked all around the city we were staying in, the next day we visited an old battle ship and then kayaked out to a tiny island off the coast. The island was probably my favorite part of the whole trip :) There were loads of dead stuff, including whole horseshoe crabs, which was super interesting! I also found some coral fossils and shark teeth. After the island we went shopping in the city we were in and did an impromptu tour of the local college. The next day we visited Angel Oak, one of the largest trees in the US. It was really incredible!! Then we went to the only tea garden in the US, toured it, and I bought some green tea, wildflower honey, and some green tea flavored candies. After that we drove the Columbus and hiked a trail at Congaree, which was super beautiful. The next morning we woke up super earl...

      Today was Naomi's birthday!! It was a lot of fun :) We went to get pizza and Locksley made her a cake! Tomorrow we are going to go spend out gift cards from Grandmom, and I will try to buy her something then. She got the newest Sonic game from Ruby and Johnathan, and Locksley promised to take her to the new Sonic movie when it comes out in April. I feel a bit bad though because I feel we didn't do very much, but still I think she had fun and hopefully I will find something to give her tomorrow. Actually, I just remembered we are going to go to Nina's to have cake too! Hopefully Nina got her something she will enjoy :) I have a feeling she is doing something for her involving hair... ~*~* Esther *~*~

      I've been thinking today, and I've come to the conclusion that I actually am really proud of where I am both mentally, and in life in general. If you had told me in elementary school that I would have a friend group (multiple friends!!) that was actually nice to me, I am getting my drivers permit very soon, I will be in dual enrollment next year, I am going on over night school trips, AND school is my number one priority, I would have never believed it. Especially that last part. All my life I had gotten good grades, but never because I cared enough to try. I always had more important things to worry about; even as a child I didn't have the time or mental capacity to care about school, so it being my number one priority (like it should be for a child/ teenager) is really mind blowing. I really am proud and grateful that my life has progressed so much :)

 Hello again :) There has been a lot happening recently and I felt like getting on here and typing it all out!      To start, during Christmas break I got covid :( It sucked, but luckily I didn't get it too bad. Then, school was online for a few weeks because SO MANY people have covid. It makes me really angry that the government cares so little about it's people, specifically it's students.. Anyway, I want to talk about school now! In February I will be joining the Beta club, so I am very excited! And, next year I will be starting duel enrollment courses!! Those are both things I had dreamt of, and worked really hard in hopes of, but being the pessimist I am, I assumed those plans would fall through (i'm still pretty worried about duel enrollment falling through) so it's really really cool that these opportunities are happening now! Also, I will hopefully be getting my permit very soon. I have been studying non stop these past couple of weeks, and all I need is...

      I don't have a lot to record for today except for the fact I am so busy this week T-T I have a student council meeting on Thursday, an admin breakfast I have to bring food for on Thursday, a parade to walk in on Friday, a parade to walk in on Saturday, I'm going to the theater with friends on Sunday, and I will probably be starting a job at a nursery in a church on Sunday too. GAHH. It's daunting, but I won't lie, I am happy to be doing all of these things, and most of them I signed up for. I'm especially excited to start working! I would be getting 10/hour, but I would only have about 24 hours a month, so not very much.      The one thing I am NOT excited for is starting to do the morning announcements. I am worried I will get nervous, and my voice will waver, which is super embarrassing >.<!!   *~*~ Esther ~*~*

      Today was pretty good! I had a student council field study to another highschool for a 'Leadership Exchange Program'. It was really fun! The other school was a lot bigger than mine, and they had classes like cosmetology and cooking,which is really cool! Also everything said is repeat in spanish which is really neat. Anyway, after that we went to eat at Wendy's. Then we went back to school and hiked until it was time to go home.      My outfit was really cute today! Because I was going on this trip I didn't have to be in dress code since I was supposed to dress in business attire. I wore a gray turtle neck, some black plaid pants, and a long black trench coat. I looked very mysterious if I do say so myself. :p *~*~ Esther ~*~*

    This week was Thanksgiving break! I had school on Monday and Tuesday, and then the rest of the week off. Today is Sunday 11.28.21 btw. Anyway, on Wednesday, I finally finished Trigun, and started watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. Hopefully I'll finish this show quicker lol. After finishing NGE, I think I will watch Cowboy Bebop :D       On Thursday, I went to Johnathans great-grandmoms house to have thanksgiving part.1. After that I did a lot of cleaning, and then at 5 we had thanksgiving part.2. It was a lot of fun and the food was really good. We watched Annie together.     On   Friday we had thanksgiving part.3 at Nanas. But before that, I went to the park with Locksley, Isabel, and Naomi. We hiked to the quarry. Afterwards, at Nanas, we wrote secret santa lists and pulled names. I got Naomi ;) Then that night I pulled an all-nighter and rewrote my Spanish notes in to a google doc. I was very tired lol and ended up falling asleep at ...
