Yesterday and today

Yesterday, I had a CRAZY day. We went to church, then we came home for a bit, then, we went back to church for a BBQ, then, I went to a class at the animal shelter near me, (more on that later) then, I went to the first Awana meeting of the year.
The class at the animal shelter was super cool. It was about being a Wildlife Vetrinarian, and I  learned about how to care for animals, what things they're usually sick with, that kind of stuff. I gt to see a healing turtle, an owl, and I got to dissect an owl pellet. (By the way, the owl ate a mole) Then, I looked around at the shelter animals. They were all so cute!!!
Today, I'm going to be doing school. I have two online classes today, so I will be doing a whole lot of typing. I will also be doing my Awana handbook. So excited! This year we are learning about how to live as part of God's family. Its really awesome!

Crazy Saturdays :)

So, today being a normal Saturday, we have lots of things we need to get done. My brother has a game, my sister needs attention, my parents want to run a mile together, and I want to have time to just chill by myself. But sometimes, you can't do that. It's very hard to balance your wants and your needs. I want to read all day today, but I need to help my parents get my brother out of the door. There isn't always a happy medium between these things. But, even when I'm feeling super stressed, I can have calm. I just remember that God has a plan for me, and even if it isn't always what I want, it may be what someone else wants, and its certainly what God wants, and that's what's important. Serving others is something I struggle with constantly. I'm a naturally selfish person. We all are. It takes a special mindset to focus on others before yourself, and that mindset doesn't come naturally. I hope that this post actually made some sense.

School work :)

Ok, so this year I have a whole lot of school. A whole lot. Right now, I'm reading 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea for my Sci-fi class. Its a really good book, and fairly well written. It can be kind of slow and boring at some points, (even for an avid reader like me) but it picks up towards the end. It's very mysterious and interesting as well. I'm not going to tell you what its about, because I don't want to spoil it, but, you should read it for sure. (Just make sure you have a LOT of extra time, as it's very long.)

I also am taking an English class that had me read Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. It was a super interesting chapter of the Jungle Book, and I highly recommend reading it. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I hope you will too. That's all I have for now!
Thanks for reading!!
