It is finished.

You survived your first DBQ; I hope you already feel more cool, confident and capable, like this kid:


Go celebrate the completion of your first essay of the year by eating some cookie butter or by binge-watching all the episodes of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix (Tina Fey writes it...so you know it's genius)...or by preparing to take the PSAT/COGAT tomorrow! YAY! (If I type in all caps, maybe it'll make testing sound more exciting? No? Well, I tried). Your teachers should have posted the room assignments in their rooms, but they are also posted in the halls so you know where to go tomorrow.

Because of lovely standardized testing, tomorrow's classes will be shorter, and we are having a Humanities study hall. On Thursday, we'll be back to normal, which is when Chapter 25 is due, so make sure and keep on keepin' on in your black Bentley book. Additionally, don't forget to meet up with your people for the Explorer's Expo. Take the word of someone with years of experience in procrastination; I promise October 26 feels really far away, but it will be here sooner than you think.

                       


Mr. Stanton mentioned a couple of weeks back about an exciting HE opportunity called Aurora in Dallas this weekend. If you were (like me) thoroughly confused as to what he was describing, here's the link- http://dallasaurora.com/. The city apparently gets turned into a living art exhibit. To be honest, after looking at the website, I'm still a little baffled as to what is actually going on, but it looks rad. Check it out if you feel like being artsy cool this weekend. It's also free, and we could all use a little more free stuff in our lives.

You guys rock. Have a fabulous Tuesday.
