Greetings, all!
It is now almost July. People, we are over halfway through 2019.
Seeing as I was extremely busy during the last part of May and was not able to write a wrap up post for that month, I shall now proceed to rapidly recap both May and June.
Hopefully this should go well.
Wish me luck.
Music of May and June
Normally right here I
insert a couple of songs that I listened to throughout the previous month, but
since I listened to a TON of songs, I shall spare you a couple of pages of
YouTube links and will just insert a playlist that I made of current listens.
XD
You’re welcome.
Movies of May and June
*looks through my
mental list of movies watched*
Yeah, we’re going to
condense this list.
Here are only a
couple of favorite movies that I watched these past few months.
Maze Runner
Pride and Prejudice
Psych Series 4
Moana
Eragon
The Scorch Trials
Epic
Books of May and June
Wow, I am doing
horrible at remembering what I did the past few months.
Here are the books I
remember reading.
I’m pretty sure there
was more, though. XD
The War Between the States: America’s
Uncivil War by John J. Dwyer
(^^^ This book was amazing.)
Calamity by Brandon Sanderson
Ghost Knight by Cornelia Funke
Reckless by Cornelia Funke
Rakkety Tam by Brian Jacques

this book!!!)

The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
Eldest by Christopher Paolini
Events of May and June
Honestly,
not terribly much happened these past few months; but everything that did
happen was a small milestone in my life.
I’m
embarking on my last year as a child, people. It’s scary.
Finished Junior Year of Highschool-WOOHOO!!!
Only one year left of high school. Favorite subjects this past school year were
history and writing; I studied the American Civil War and Sci-Fi and Fantasy
writing techniques. And I’d like to give a huge shout out to my awesome
teachers, Mom and Dad. <33
Family Camping Trip to the Oregon Coast-We
went to the Oregon Coast for the first time, and IT WAS AMAZING. The forests
were completely different than anything I’d ever seen before, and the ocean was
as beautiful as always. I would move there in a heartbeat. We also stopped at a
fossil dig on the way there, and I found a couple of leaf fossils. Best field
trip ever. XD
Two Friends Graduating-Congrats to
Idaho Reader and JadeShadow for graduating this year!!! These amazing girls
have been two of my best friends for years. <33
Trip to OYAN Summer Workshop-So every
year the One Year Adventure Novel peoples put on a summer workshop for the
students. I’ve been wanting to go since 2017 but have never had the money. Until
this year.
IT
WAS ONE OF THE BEST WEEKS OF MY LIFE.
(^^^the auditorium)
We
had some AMAZING speakers including Robert Treskillard (author of the Merlin Spiral Series), Stephanie Morrill
(author of The Lost Girl of Astor Street and
Within These Lines), Allen Arnold
(author of The Story of With), and
Steve Laube (a literary agent and president of The Steve Laube Agency); as well
as the esteemed Mr. and Mrs. Schwabauer (S) of OYAN. These speakers inspired me
not only to write better and more, but also to write for God’s glory and to
worship Him.
(^^^me and some amazing peoples getting ready to have a battle)
(I'm the only girl in the picture, F.Y.I. XD)
In
addition to amazing speakers, I also got to meet all the lovely peoples from
the OYAN community and to make dozens of new friends. We had swing dancing,
foam sword battles (no one got killed, I promise), mafia and paranoia games,
epic critique group discussions, cosplays (you guys, we had Gamora from the
Guardians of the Galaxy, Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars, Toothless and Hiccup from
HTTYD, and Frodo and Sam from LotR!!!), and tons of photos and memories.
It
was a week I shall never forget.
(^^^I'm on the end of the group hug on the right in the green pants and black shirt XD)
AANNDD, that’s a
wrap!
Next week be on the
lookout for the introducing of my Camp Nano project, The Ship’s Log!!! I’m
excited to share it with you all. :-D
Your turn to talk!
How was your May/June? Did you read any good books? Find any good songs? And
who else is doing Camp Nano this July???
Hope you all have an
amazing weekend.
Namarie!
You look like you had fun this month. I'm also reading through the Maze Runner series and watching the movies. We just did the Scorch Trials.
ReplyDeleteI did!!! Ooh, awesome!!! I LOVE the Maze Runner series. <33
DeleteCongrats on getting to go to the OYAN workshop!!! Sounds like it was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteYou look a little awkward in the group hug... XP
Thank you!!! IT WAS AMAZING. :-D
DeleteDo I? XD I didn't feel awkward. But now that you mention it... *squints at picture* I guess I kind of do... XD
CONGRATS ON FINISHING JUNIOR YEAR!!!
ReplyDeleteThat camping trip sounds awesome. <33
THANK YOU GRAY!!! :-D
DeleteIt was!!! <33
I LOVE the movie Epic!! It's so underrated.
ReplyDeleteSAME!!! It is. :-Z
DeleteAHHHHHHH!! You got to hear Stephanie Morrill teach?! So jealous!
ReplyDeleteHow did you find Reckless by Funke? I am usually pretty fond of her books, but I haven't read that one yet and I'm interested to hear what you thought of it.
I did!!! She was great. :-D She did one session on writing tips from Disney movies and it was SO GOOD. :-)
DeleteOkay...so... I personally LOVED it. It had great characters, a good plot, and an AMAZING story world. But...it was a WHOLE lot darker and more inappropriate than all of her other stories. :-Z So I would be a little wary while you're reading it. XD (There's a theme in a later chapter and another theme in the whole book that are not appropriate. They aren't explicit though, but still. :-Z) I LOVE all of her books though. <33
Sounds like you had an amazing June, MEM. :)
ReplyDeletePsych is awesome. :D Also congrats on finishing your junior year! *Throws confetti*
-Quinley

ReplyDeleteI did!!! Thank you so much! I hope you have an amazing July as well. :-)
DeleteGlad you had a great two months. Where do you watch Psych? Like on Netflix or Amazon Prime? I've heard a lot about it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much McKayla!!! So, we actually own it on Amazon. It might be on Netflix though??? I don't know. XD We also filter it through VidAngel because there is quite a bit of content. :-Z
