So so so so sorry for the lateness everyone! It's been pretty busy around here lately, with my brother's birthday, Labor Day weekend, and then my first day of online classes today. I'm finally getting around to blogging again. :)
1. Finish Summer Bucket List: A
I did pretty well finishing off the list. We made cherry limeade, I at least made an attempt to do a vlog post (and I do plan to publish one in the near future!), wrote a story, witnessed my dad and brother build a rocket to launch with Boy Scouts, went to the library, and played hopscotch. Overall, I had a wonderful summer, and I'm glad I could share it with you readers. :D
2. Summer Reading: A-
My goal was to finish the requirements for reading "The City of God" by St. Augustine by the end of August, but I didn't quite make that goal. Fortunately, I completed most of the summer reading requirements.
3. Start 11th Grade: A+
I could not have been more excited to start this school year. Online classes started today, and every one of them taught me something new about how things are going to be, and each one presented me with new challenges to face. I know that God will be with me throughout this year, guiding my every step.
4. Get a job?: A
Ok, I admit: I am currently unemployed in terms of what most people call "a real job." However, I was able to make a decision, that until I get a driver's license in February, I am blessed with babysitting opportunities and enough extracurricular activities to keep me busy enough as is. I do plan to get a job soon, but now is not the time.
5. Publish more blog posts: A++
I am proud to announce that the month of August brought more blog posts than ever before in the history of VH. This month, August had an all-time high of 19 posts!!! This is even more than April 2013(the month right after I first started). I think it's safe to say that I picked up a bit more momentum, and this blog is going to stick around for a little while longer. :)
Recurring goals:
Music Practice: B+
I think I could have done a bit better on this, but I'm starting to pick up more momentum.
Scripture Reading: A+
I've been called to focus more on God's Word than I normally have in the past. It is my goal for the rest of my life to be active in Scripture, as it is essential to following Christ.
Exercise: D
My focus has been elsewhere this month in terms of exercise. However, I have set multiple fitness goals for myself this month, so next time, I shouldn't have any excuses about sticking with exercise.
Diary Writing: F
Same story. While lots has happened this month, I haven't been keeping a good record of it in my diary.
Total Average: A-
Wow, I'm really happy with the results! I've had a great month, and I'm looking forward to a great start in the school year. Happy September everyone!
Question for the Reader: How was your August?
"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." --Romans 8:1
Wow! Great job last month, Hayley. :) My month wasn't nearly as productive. I was behind in my reading for Jane Austen class, so most of it was rather stressful, and then I went on vacation, so it was a kind of pre-school-year hectic break. if that makes sense. haha :)
ReplyDeleteglad to see you started 11th grade on the right foot! I think I did too - and we shared some of it together, which was fun! :)
I'm so happy that you took the Jane Austen class though. For sure it must be a rigorous course that's difficult to keep up with!
DeleteAbsolutely, a pre-school year vacation and break is a great idea, and makes perfect sense. :)
I had a great day in classes today, and was happy to see you in Veritas again!
