What I've Been Up To Lately
Lately, I've been super busy with lots of cool, and sometimes stressful, stuff.
- learning Latin. It really takes time, especially when you're behind in school! However, it's also loads of fun, and I'm glad I'm doing it.
- my Etsy shop! Right now, I'm working on drafting patterns for, and then sewing, Christmas doll clothes for Etsy! I'm super excited about this, especially because I have some fantastic metallic fabric I want to put to use for this.
- reading. Obviously
Just yesterday I finished reading United States of Socialism, which is a fantastic book! I do recommend it (beware, the last third or so is falsely advertised, in my opinion. It's labeled something along the lines of "how to stop it" (and by it, I mean socialism) but then it mostly just says that since we know socialist takeover tactics, we can do something about it. That's great, but what???). I'm also working on a short essay about that book, which is exciting to be writing for me. I've been doing lots of essays on books for my American Lit class, so now it's time to write about things I'm interested in!
- NaNoWriMo. It's November... the stress-and-write-and-write-and-sleep-and-maybe-eat-and-write-and-write time of year. I'm only 15% of the way done, which is really bad, because we're about 84% of the way through the month. So yeah... it's an adventure.
- Children of the Republic. This is a fantastic website championing freedom, and lately I've been working on a lot of stuff for them.
- Free-USA. This is another website, and I've been doing a TON of stuff there.
- going to the library! I haven't done this super much since CoViD19 hit, but I've gone a few times since the library reopened. I like to do full-day trips, and just relax and binge read books like The Federalist Papers, browse through political sections, find some new good novels, and just enjoy myself in an environment of learning.
- being awesome
This includes doing all of the above while dressing stylishly, being confident in myself, and trying my best to be kind to others.
