Settling Down . . .

Whew, we have finally settled down!! After months of living a nomadic life, we have moved into our grandma's home in Bellevue, here to stay until the beginning of October, when we can move into our home. It is SO wonderful to know that we won't have to pack up everything in a few days and that we can really get organized!! I have found it a little difficult without any organization, but now I can actually make a schedule and abide by it!

Our time here has been spent buying necessities, like cars, cell phones, cold-weather clothes, reading (like Harry Potter . . . :-)), and being sick. It's really sad, but all of us, excluding my mom, have been sick at least once with a fever since we arrived here. Madeline started it, and now my dad is finally ending it (well, only if no one else gets it again!). We all suffered differently: Marina and Madeline mostly had a bad cough, and I contracted Walking Pneumonia. Actually, I didn't really mind being sick, because a. it's kind of a novelty experience, and b. I spent almost the entire time reading the first six Harry Potter novels. Oh, that was so fun!! And it really helped me understand the last book, which I finished on Monday. Well, I actually couldn't completely finish Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (the sixth one) before I started the last one, because I was busy with my new job at Nordstrom. My job will only last for a few more days, as it is only for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, when the company brings out its new clothes for fall. I have liked my job, but it will be nice to end it, so that I can focus on finishing my school (yes, I still have some left . . .), studying for the SAT Bioloy test I'm planning on taking in October, and preparing for my upcoming school subjects. So, it's not like I won't be busy!

I really should get going now . . . it's almost 11 PM, and I need to get up early tomorrow for a debate workshop. Have a great day! And, I thought I should let you know that the frequency of my blog posts will probably be a little irregular, but I'll try to fit them in.
