Busy

I'm so busy!

There's revising. There's always revising. It's so important to keep up. And there's

Detention. Which is bad. But it's only a tiny detention. Not like a really real one. But I still don't like it. I was passing notes in class. More than one. And I should have been paying attention. I really should have. But

And there's talking to Wayne. He shouldn't mess things up for Padma. So I explained to him. I hope that did some good. I don't know if it did. But I thought I ought. He needs to keep up. For Padma's sake. So it was a responsibility to tell him. He's in my house. My guardian says you should never shirk your responsibilities.

And there's practicing for choir auditions. I don't sing nearly as well as I thought I did. Not when I listen. But I may be good enough.

And there's embroidery. Daphne likes embroidery too! She showed me a Renaissance stitch that's going to look perfect in the border I'm doing. And I showed her a new way to do a star eyelet stitch, with a french knot sort of worked in. And she likes it! And we talked about different sorts of thread. And how to hand dye thread. And our favourite size for a hoop. And all about other stitches. And all sorts of things. And we're going to get together tonight. And do more.

Oh! And sometime this week I'm going to get my hair done in a new style! It will be brilliant. I know it will. I'm so excited.

And

I suppose that's all. But it's a lot to keep track of!
