We sure enjoyed the last week before school. There will be some more cool pictures coming. Michellie spent some time down St. Peter's way, she did a trip to Antigonish with a friend, Glencoe Dance, a Celtic Colours Youth Concert in Sydney and as much relaxing and sleep as possible. There was some apprehension about going back as she prepared her backpack last night and a little nausea to go with it and some lock jaw. She did recognize the emerging pattern for stress and tried to talk her way through it. We were reflecting on the fact that when she left school in June she was still wearing a scarf and she had only a little bit of hair. Her confidence for classes and friends is much higher after some of her summer fun, and she really is looking forward to doing some interesting things since it is quite quiet here most of the time (if you aren't going to all the concerts and dances).
Michellie actually was able to have a smoothie for breakfast, and packed lots of snacks for the day. Her classes are good and she finished her math homework before she got on the bus. She has a video class, math, and chemistry this semester and she is happy about her teachers. We did not have the heat wave that threatened to cancel classes last year, but it was warm and Michellie headed off in flip flops and shorts. The trip home was warm but wet as a tropical downpour began just after lunch. Michellie giggled at how wet she was coming into the house, but that was ok. Yeah! We are thrilled by the enthusiasm.
