Quick history lesson



Ok Here it is the post of all posts! Yes I am aware that it has been a small eternity since I last posted and for that I am sorry however making until this point came with no real spare time involved. In saying so I have a feeling I will go on to outline the events in the recent past along with those that are to come since from what I can see this is my only evening off (which was by accident) until mid June sometime.
Well let's see since Feburary a lot and a little has happened at the same time. Well let's start back in Feburary...Let's see the week after my last posting I finally passed my driving test in order to get my permit, the girls JV basketball team won second place in the tournament, we had our final team dinner which was pretty cool and somewhere in there I was squishing in Belgian team softball practices.
As of March 16th I have been playing two softball teams Belgian League Division 1 and St. Johns Varsity which is awesome because first of all I love it and second of all it's what I have been waiting for all year. So since then I have been having at least on sometimes two practices each day with double header games Friday, Saturday, Sunday and occasionaly Tuesday and Wendsday. It's busy but worth it. Along with those games have been traveling trips to Paris, Frankfurt, Antwerp and The Hague coming up this weekend. And spending a week in London in two weeks for our final Varsity tournament. Well enough about the softball for now let's go back to the other aspects of life.
In April we had our two week spring break which nothing less then amazing! I went to the U.S with my friend Allison from Paris and met up with Jessica in Maryland then went down the Outerbanks in North Carolina to a rented beach house with 2 other families. It was one of the best trips I've been on. I met some awesome people there who i'm still in contact with and just had a great time explaoring, going to the beach and pool, mini golf, shopping and going around in the evening. Then we ended up spending two more days in Baltimore including Easter which was really fun and also met some more cool people but then it was over and back to reality left to be nothing more then memories.
Academicaly now let's see what has happened....Oh yeah my huge Advanced Placement U.S History test was on friday which means I've been reviweing boring things for the past month lol but the test actually went really well so I got lucky. So I guess those are all the major things that have happened except for the usual parties added in there along with all nighters, going out and sparatic events with friends. Coming up next I guess would definatly be 3 more softball tournaments, family day, prom (oh yeah I've been planning that for the past month too), graduation (which I was asked to participate in yesterday), SAT's and ACT's, end of year exams (which actually end up being fun since a bunch of us just spend endless days outside together), and then I guess before you know it I will be shipping off to Italy!
well Ciao for now and I promise i'll try to be better with this :) much luv ♥

Glad to hear all the latest. Still have you on my RSS feeds. I don't know how Lief noticed the new post first. Must have a faster feed-reader than me. Dangit.
