Hello there.

Well I am a bit worried for state testing starting tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure that I'll be fine. That is what all the wonderful people in my life are telling me. So I trust them. I've just been trying to introduce really great feelings to myself so I'll calm down and feel great about it all. I think I'm doing a really good job-I've been sleeping enough, eating well, and just enjoying the sweet days after Easter. OH! So about Easter, I came over and there was this GIANT Easter party that my mom put together. She's great at parties. Big, all-over-east-Austin egg hunt. My team won- way more than the other teams. it was epic. So far, so good.

              Also, something a bit sad. We had to get rid of 3 of our chickens, one of which was my sweet baby Apple. She.... I mean he, was one of the sweetest roosters that I have ever met. He was tame, patient, and totally tolerated Isla and Lily, my sisters. 1 1/2 and 5- two really bad, yet good ages to start understanding creatures. While sometimes hurting them, they are learning to take care of them and realizing that they're beings, too. So I hope they keep learning, even when I'm not at Sam's house.

              Until next post ;D
