New Friend + School

I started school on Wednesday, and it went well thanks to having met a new friend the week before. Her name is Riley Henderson and she is my math tutor's roommate's daughter (yes, I know, awkward title). I didn't know Sean had a daughter since I, obviously, hadn't seen her before. Turns out she spends the summers at camp and then at her grandparent's house in northern Montana. She had just gotten back a few days before I met her. It was a bit weird at first, being as it was a complete surprise, but she had a Westie! Anyone who has a terrier is automatically a great person. You have to be to put up with the little beasties! Her Westie's name is Colin and she is very soft and scruffy. I told her about Coco, Coconut, and Knut and we spent the next fifteen minutes talking about the silly things our dogs do. But then Aaron said we needed to get a little bit of math done.

Luckily Aaron was very understanding and kept are session quick. Riley and I played board games and talked the rest of the afternoon. Best news was that she is going to be in my class! She used to go to the closer public school, but her dad wants her to get some religious schooling as well. It's going to be wonderful having a friend in my class! We made a promise to meet in front of the school on our first day.

I didn't want to leave, but Mother wanted me home for dinner.

On Wednesday, Mother drove Kit and I to our school. Riley was already waiting. I gave her a big hug and we searched for our classroom together and founds seats next to each other. I didn't feel nervous at all. Which was a good thing because our teacher isn't the friendliest. Though maybe she was just nervous.

Riley and I have plans to make cookies this weekend and have a sleepover. We're already planning a big sleepover with JJ for Labor Day weekend. JJ and Riley can't wait to meet each other. So far this school year if off to a great start!
