Adjusting Focus

I had the opportunity to go to a leadership camp for two days at my new school, Mount Wachusett Community College. I wasn't really looking forward to waking up at 6 in the morning and being there for longer than a school day. In fact, when the mornings came, I honestly considered falling back asleep and acting as if I had forgotten. I knew I had to go, not only because the camp was mandatory, but because I knew that somewhere along the way I would learn something. All I had to do was be open to what people had to say to me. In the end, I learned a few things and gained some knowledge. I noticed a few things and realized that I hadn't wasted 100% of my time. Tuesday was the first day. I really questioned that day afterwards as I reflected on some weird meditation I had to do for like, 10 minutes. "You're in a dark room. You can't see anything. Suddenly, your foot hits something. It's stairs. You climb up the stairs. With each step you think of something that...

My two weeks were super fun. I hung out with my cousin almost everyday and I finally have a room. My walls are all painted! One wall is red and the others are beige (although it turned out a little more grey... I call it greige). I got to spend some time with my parents, which was great. My favorite dog ever, Bella, got to sleep near me on her bed every night too. She's literally my favorite dog out of all the other ones I have ever owned (sorry).  I'm sad it's all over but at least I'm back at my real home with real floors and ceilings. The NH house does look great and my parents worked incredibly hard everyday to get it to where it is currently. I'm grateful for them and their hard work. It has come so  far. So, as you've seen, I've taken a lot of pictures with my cousin within the last two weeks. It seemed like almost everywhere we went we were asking our moms to take pictures of us. One of our last pictures together for a while came from our adventure...

The concert last night was a ton of fun. It was incredibly loud and afterwards my voice was kind of gone. We listened to some 5 Seconds of Summer beforehand. When they were done performing there were music videos playing on the big screens. We waited and waited and finally the lights turned down and all we heard were thousands of screaming people all around us . It was wicked cool.  We had good seats. Gillette Stadium is flipping huge  and tall . I was scared for the people all the way up at the very top. I was amazed at how close we kind of were. I mean, we weren't on the floor, but we were on the bottom right near the floor... which is pretty awesome. And with the big screens, you could still see all of One Direction's faces... It's weird to think that only 24 hours ago we were just leaving. Here's some pictures from last night. Waiting... at least there were music videos for entertainment. I'll admit that I enjoyed 5 Seconds of Summer. Dang . I ...
