| This is the twelve boxes of English Breakfast tea that a few friends and I bought for one of our friends for Christmas. This was the picture I took after the package arrived. |
The first week off was a busy one, with the Whatcom Homeschool Association's annual Christmas talent show, Current Affairs class, and the annual Homeschool Christmas Party. That weekend was the first weekend of Nutcracker performances, and that took up all day Saturday and Sunday.
The second week of break was filled with illness. I was sick all week, and couldn't get out of bed for a few days. Mom and Isabelle went to Seattle on Thursday with friends while I stayed home, but I managed to leave the house Friday night to see my friend's dance show. That weekend was the second weekend of Nutcracker performances. This time, as Isabelle and I were both sick, but recovering, we only went right before the performances themselves. That weekend is honestly a bit of a blur.

The week of Christmas itself was busy with family celebrations. Tuesday we went to my dad's family to visit the relations of that side. Thursday we were at my mom's parents house for Christmas itself, and Friday we were back with my dad's family to visit with a different set of people.

| A confetti selfie! This was all put in my hair by friends before I left the New Year's Eve party. This picture was taken after I got home. |
The week after Christmas was a little more low key, with normal things like the volunteering and dance. Wednesday was New Year's Eve, and we went to an awesome party at a friend's house. Friday night there was a crazy sleepover (at the same friend's house, her parents are saints). Saturday was spent trying to fix my computer (which had decided to stop turning on properly), and sleep deprivation did not help. Eventually, I handed it over to my dad, who proceeded to fix it, but had to reset it to factory settings, which meant that everything was lost. Luckily, all my documents and things were backed up, but there is a backlog of 126 Windows updates that will be done with the next automatic update.

| A selfie the morning of the sleepover. This was about nine in the morning, and everyone was very tired, as you can probably see. Flattering? No. Fun? Yes. |
It's been a good break, but it's almost over. Classes at the college start again on Wednesday, so I have just two days left until then. I'm taking English 101 and Psych 100 this quarter, plus doing Geometry and History at home, so it should be busy.
I'm also still doing Irish dance and Ballet, and hoping to start work on the 2014-2015 Homeschool yearbook soon. In addition to this, my room is being totally rearranged and that means that all of my stuff is currently out in the family room. Hopefully I should end up with a new bed and some other new furniture soon, and then things can get back to normal with that.
I'm also being interviewed on a local radio show on January 22nd for the YA Review Committee I am part of through a local independent bookstore. I don't know yet quite how it'll work, but I am excited for that.
