Hey everybody, been a while since i wrote in this here journel, well to tell y'all what has happened to me in the past few months, it will explain my busyness.

In September, i started high school as a freshman, i had a boyfriend at the time and then near the second week of school i broke up with him...but we're good friends now. I went to a funeral for my Great Aunt. My family and I had a guest staying at our house for the month, he is from Finland. He plays anything, he's a good finnish fiddler, he also plays this instrument called a Nyckleharpa that came from Sweden, but was adopted by the Finns, it basically a key piano-fiddle i don't know how to explain it, but because he stayed at our house and he was very grateful he composed this song which he named in honor of us. We went up to our friend's farm to do a concert and a few workshops. Here is the video:

Later that month, my dad went into surgery because he had Prostate Cancer and i also got Confirmed.

In October, my dad came back home within the first few days of the month, near the end of the month Halloween came and I took my friends to Old Town, and then gave 'em a tour then we went to the dance then the next day i went trick-or-treating to help watch over the kids (and scored some candy too).

In November, a pretty fast month. Thanksgiving came and went. I then attended a weekend out at a camp not far from where i live, it was called Breaking Up Thanksgiving, I went with a friend and stayed till the end without my parents (how fun is that

In December, as the year began to close, a field trip and gigs turned up. I performed twice within the first weekend of my break and went with my class on a field trip to Chinatown. It was fun, on Friday our break began and I had to take my sister home because my parents had to perform. Then the next day i played with my parents and our friends for a Christmas concert on banjo and guitar. Then Christmas came and so on and so forth. So there you have it, my update. Happy New Year everybody!
