1. I’ll just jump right in and say…I had a great first day of school! There was no need for the nerves I felt this morning. Of course the stress about work is still there, but at least I like all my classes and teachers. Since I am a senior this year I was able to choose most of the classes I wanted, nothing mandatory except math and English. But here are the classes I am officially taking this year: AP Latin, Honors English IV, AP Photo, AP Psych, AP Government and Politics, Ancient History, Pre-calc I, Business Law, (Health and Gym obviously), Crime and Justice, and Forensics. Some are full year courses while 4 are 1/2 year electives so I have 2 the first semester and 2 the next. I filled my schedule so I have no done time like lunch or study hall, but I always hated those periods so I just eat lunch during one of my classes. All seems good and I can’t wait to see how this year plays out. It should be a good (but stressful) one! Plus now I am one more day closer to GRADUATING!
2. Purple Toes! I needed to freshin’ up my polish for school, so I chose the classy color of purple 🙂 I used Confetti Cosmetics Belle of the Ball polish. It describes the color as a deep lilac. Confetti is a cheap drugstore brand, but it actually has awesome polish. The color lasts a really long time!
3. The grocery had wild salmon on sale this week! Of course I had to pick some up. Here is how I spiced it up:
MY LATEST VIDEOSSmoked Paprika Turmeric Crusted Salmon
Ingredients: (Serves 2)
– 1 large Salmon Fillet (they gave me .88oz so I split the fillet with my brother.)
– 1 1/4 tsp of Smoked Paprika
– 1 1/4 tsp of Turmeric
– 1 tsp of Dried Oregano
– A sprinkling of Garlic and Onion Powder
– 1 TB of Dried Parsley
Directions:
– Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a foiled and lightly oiled baking sheet.
– Place your salmon down and pour on all the seasonings (adjust to your tastes).
– Cook the salmon for 15 minutes or until it flakes apart easily.
– Super quick and easy, but simply delicious!
4. I was featured on NJ Bloggers the other day and forgot to tell you guys! I sent in my “spotlight application” in the beginning of the summer but it finally was put up, yay!
Alright, that is all I have for today! It ended up being a good day (not weather wise! It is cloudy and muggy just like yesterday, what a first day bummer!) but I am exhausted and just want to chill tonight and start gathering and planning school materials for tomorrow and next week! See y’all tomorrow with the Friday Finisher!
So tell me:
How was your first day back to school (if you are currently going to school)?
Do you like painting your nails bright colors or dark colors? I usually always go with something bright and fun, even in the winter.

Yay for having a great first day back – what a start to the school year!
I actually finished high school in distance education – which is essentially home schooling, but you’re actually enrolled at a school and get sent your work/have teachers you can call or email – and the first first day back when I was doing that was so weird! My sister went off to school in her uniform and I was like “oh hey, I’m already at school” haha
Haha! You could stay in your sleep attire while learning, good deal!
SALMON AND SPAGHETTI SQUASH!!! That combo is my JAM!!! JAM I TELL YOU! lol!!! 🙂
I am glad your 1st day was amazing! I haven’t been in school for a few years now and I have to say, every time this time of the year comes back, I NEVER MISS SCHOOL AT ALL! LOL!
Good luck with ALL of your AP classes!! You will be SO HAPPY you did them when you go to college because you will have more time to take classes you actually care about!
I hear you about the salmon and squash!
Yea I am hoping all this hard work definitely has a huge pay off done the line!
