Friday Five

1. I made it into my school's production of West Side Story as a dancer!! So so so excited for this!

2. Today I chaperoned a field trip of freshmen to a smaller, less fortunate Catholic school. The trip was open to the entire freshman class at my school, who visited various schools with less funding and resources to read and encourage literacy and learning. It filled me with such joy to see how much the kids on both sides enjoyed themselves. At the end of our time there, no one wanted us to leave and it was definitely hard to go!

3. I'm running for next year's Student Body Vice President! After two years on class boards and a year on Student Council, I can't wait to serve on the Executive Board. My campaigning is in full force–elections are next Friday!

One of my friends decided to run for president, so of course we are campaigning together! How cute are these frockets we designed?

4. I have a huge research paper for APUSH due in less than two weeks on the influence of Jackie Kennedy on fashion. Such a typical topic for me, right? And so typical that my procrastination on this huge paper is at a high. I'll be working hard on it tomorrow!!

5. Sometimes you need to just take a night to relax. Earlier this evening, I attended my best friend's birthday dinner at one of our town's country clubs, but I unfortunately had to leave early to go to a babysitting job I had booked previously. Turns out, unwinding while the kids are asleep is just the perfect thing for me! I've been watching the Blackhawks game and getting a headstart on homework, thank goodness.
