Weekly Update #3

Hi, hey there, hello,

Wowza. With midterms ending yesterday, the 2nd quarter has officially been winding down. Tomorrow begins the third quarter of your senior year (aka the last semester of your high school career!!!). Oh, how the time has flown. The start of the new semester means that, for some of you, you’ll be starting new classes with new teachers. This is a great opportunity to spiffy up your work ethic and begin the term off strong by staying on top of work. 

Cam and I organized his backpack today, so that was quite the ordeal; Jade had an interview with Yale over the weekend she thinks went really well; Katie is tidying up her college applications and even landed a new job; and Wes is off to an away basketball game tonight and is starting a new art class tomorrow morning (which I personally am super excited for)!

A bunch of us were able to hang out together outside of school last Friday night. We enjoyed incredible food at the Cork N’ Keg restaurant and then hung out some more over in Epping. We got loads and loads of fro-yo at Orange Leaf and then finished the evening off with a movie at the theaters. Personally, I had a blast and I feel as if I am getting to know each of the kids better and hopefully they're getting more comfortable around me too! 

The gang out to eat at the Cork N' Keg (minus Wesley who was busy winning his away basketball game).
 Unbelievably delicious buffalo chicken dip, but even more unbelievably amazing young ladies and lads. :)
