so yeah

It's been almost a month since I've had a real "life" post (besides the blurb a week ago), but it's basically been more of the same, so not much to report anyway. We're on the fourth week of school, and it's been pretty usual.

Honor Council had its retreat last weekend, and it was good, clean fun. We spent the night at Gabe's parents' ridiculous house, which was perfect for our Mandatory Funtime activity, sardines. Also, we talked about the Honor Code.

I didn't mention it, but I'm taking intro fencing to go toward completing my PE requirement (which, admittedly, I was supposed to have finished two years ago). Yesterday we picked up swords after two weeks of practicing footwork. I'll be learning saber -- that's the slashing, cutting one, not the poking one.

Piano's going well -- I think I'm progressing relatively quickly. I still can't read bass clef without transposing from treble clef, but I can pretend pretty well. Ultimately, my goal is to be able to play and croon (lovingly, caressingly) a certain song by the time Cami visits in November, but we'll see how that goes.

And this week should be fun, ( by which I mean awful. )
