Idk… this is the second time in the past month that it’s done that. I think the last time was when Kathleen was working on fixing some glitches, or soon after, so idk if she was trying to fix something again?

Co-op is almost over. Blue book is Tuesday. I will still be doing some school at least till the end of May, but thankfully I won’t be as busy.
The squirrels are collecting more nuts than usual this winter. I've already lost 3 relatives.

Hey guys! Just popping back in to share a scene from Andromeda haha!
This is the new chapter one….XD
I’ve been working on writing a bit and I decided to scrap the beginning and rewrite it! So here’s the first chapter:
Strong arms grabbed her shoulders, trying to pull her away.
But Sef wouldn’t let go.
Eyes scrunched shut, tears leaking from the corners, she clung to her father like he was the only thing keeping her life together.
In a way, he was.
And now he was leaving.
“Let go, Sef,” her mother said. The bitterness in her mother’s voice make Sef flinch, and her small fingers curled around the folds in her father’s shirt even tighter, begging him to stay. Stay.
Sef looked up, tears making her emerald eyes appear multifaceted.
“Pani,” she whimpered, “Don’t go, please!”
Her father wouldn’t meet her eyes. And in that instant she knew.
Her father didn’t love her.
He didn’t love her mother, either.
The ten years of her life that she’d called him father….everything was a lie.
The realization numbed her emotions, and she stumbled back into her mother’s arms as the searing blade pierced her very soul.
And then her father was gone.
***
The silence closed in around her.
The vacant space next to her felt like a vacancy in her heart. A hole that could never be filled.
Because it was.
Never before had she felt so alone.
He left you.
He didn’t love you.
He promised. He promised to be your husband. To love and cherish you forever.
But he didn’t mean it.
Neveah curled into herself as sobs shook her small frame.
All she wanted was for Nico to slip his arms around her, whispering into her ear, I love you, I love you.
But now she knew it was all lies.
The tears fell faster. She pulled the blankets up to her chin. Tried not to notice how wrong the darkness felt without Nico’s soft breaths lulling her to sleep.
“Mani?” the door opened a crack.
Neveah wiped her tears. She wouldn’t let Sef see her like this. She had to be strong.
“I’m scared,” Sef’s eyes were wide, her hair falling loose about her shoulders.
The bed shifted as Sef crawled in next to Neveah.
Sef.
She fought back a strangled sob. Sef was only ten years old. No girl should have to grow up without her father.
What if I can’t raise her on my own?
Neveah turned to face her daughter. “Do you want to sleep here tonight?” She stroked her hair.
Sef nodded. “I miss Pani,” she sniffled.
“I miss him too,” Neveah’s breath caught in her throat as she turned to face the ceiling. “But we have each other….as long as we stick together, it’s going to be okay.”
She willed herself to believe those words, praying that Sef believed them too.
Closing her eyes, she allowed herself to imagine, just for a moment, that it was Nico’s hand in hers, that it was Nico laying next to her, instead of her daughter.
And then she slept.

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333Possibly The Ducktator is referencing college boards new testing app. They moved the SAT and some of the APs digital this year and you have to use a computer app called blue book to take them.
I personally liked the digital SAT but will miss doing my AP Lang test by hand. I was really looking forwards to my hand feeling like it’s gonna fall off after attempting to speed write 3 essays by hand.

Our co-op is Classical Conversations. The seventh through twelfth grades, (Challenge A, B, 1, 2, 3, 4), do blue book, which is our end of semester assessment. The teachers and parents say it is a “Celebration of what you’ve learned”, but we all think it’s a test. Otherworldly Historian, I’m only in ninth grade, lol.

Oh. Sorry for jumping to conclusions. I do wonder if there is a connections in the name.

Hmm. 🤔 I think I remember hearing a similar line from one of my teachers describing finals last year…
Through darkness,

“Everything is a mountain”
Ah, it’s saddd!! 🥺 Good job!

Flaz: *yawns* Did the sun just come up? In the west?
