I'm in class but I'm bored so yeah...

I'm super stressed about school because I have piles of homework!! I'm thinking I'll just do short entries so I can post every other day/every three days. Honestly the vacation was so magical. Me and my dad were driving on the forest trails early in the morning, and we saw two white-tailed deer! I also saw tons of squirrels xD And a surprising amount of turkeys...There was also this really weird thing yesterday when I saw a seagull, a crow, and a duck sitting on a rock together, just hanging out or something. I wish I could have taken a picture but we were in the car. My classmates are completely insane...this one girl is talking about this other girl that bites people. Now something about..throwing stuff..at people? I love how everyone is being crazy but my friend and I are just sitting quietly in the opposite corners of the class on our iPads. Time to go, see you after school! 

3:05 PM 

So I just got out of school and I found this amazing piece of gold at the top ^^ 

You know, us squirrels are more reliable than you may think..

Anyways, I'm just hanging laundry and I'm really bored...

Well I was originally wanted to talk more about my vacation, but I honestly think it'll be more special if I keep it to myself, and its not that exciting anyways. I think the reason I got so attached was that I was so close to nature. Like there was this one point where I ran to the top of this super steep hill on the logging road behind the cabin and I just looked around and saw the entire forest and it was amazing. The wind was blowing super hard and then I ran as fast as I could down the hill until I thought I would explode; I felt so energized and wild, like my "animal side" was really surfacing for the first time. I also spent hours laying in the hammock behind the house, looking blissfully up at the trees. I felt so connected to my theriotypes the whole time, and I still do. I think that vacation was exactly what I needed to get away from my hectic everyday life in my world of concrete, and reconnect with nature and the animals, and really clear my head. 

So back to school today (I guess I ended up talking about the trip after all lol) I'm feeling lazy so I'll just do bullet points 

-I got assigned sitting to the two smartest kids in math class (ugh) 

-I got a ticket to the school dance (yay) 

-we had this super long assembly and I got claustrophobic and the noise really bothered me in the assembly (the girls next to me were talking and screeching in super high pitched voices) so I kinda panicked but I made it through 

I also really want to find out if there are and therians/otherkin at my school, does anyone have ideas? Comment below if you do, and since my eyes hurt and I have a lot of homework, I'll be ending this here

Have a wonderful day!
