I got my hair cut and went to the dentist for the first time in a long time this month. Easter was also very different this year, but for a different reason. We had a volleyball tournament over Easter weekend, so we celebrated early. I went shopping with mom because Papa Rick and Nana Peggy gave us money for Easter. I discovered that I really love everything at Michael's and Hobby Lobby!
We had our last volleyball tournament, which was National Qualifiers in Kansas City. I went in believing that we could win it all! There were so many teams in Bartle Hall. We did not play great on the first day and lost all of our matches. That put us in either the Bronze or Copper bracket. We played much better the second day, so we were placed in the Bronze bracket. We played Performance again for a vindication match, but lost. We just were not playing our best. I was really sad to say good-bye to my teammates. I will especially miss Landrie because she is a year younger and won't play on our team next year.
The other excitement is that we went back to school 5 days a week. I was pretty nervous about everything changing-different kids in my classes, the bus would be more crowded, the halls more packed. It has been ok, but I really do miss my virtual learning time at home. We also did MAP testing which was very tiring. One fun thing is that I joined the school play. It is a comedy about working at a help desk. I got two parts, one where I call the help desk to break up with my boyfriend, and the other as a worker who doesn't want to be there. I overheard the director tell someone else that I was a natural during auditions. I really enjoy being on the stage!
