Welcome to August, everyone!!

August, for me at least, is bittersweet. On one hand, we have the fact that school is going to be starting in about a month, which could be good or bad depending who you are. I’m going into 7th grade, and I’m honestly kind of in between on the nervous/excited scale. So, that’s kind of neutral. On the other hand, summer break and all the freedom is ending! I won’t be able to wake up at 8:00 anymore, and I’ll have all the stress of a school year to manage. On a third hand (I probably got my friend over to use their hand – despite what you may think, I don’t have three hands), the weather won’t be so extremely gross and muggy and hot, and mosquitos will be banished to the dark realm. I’m pretty excited for that.

I, personally, am getting my ears pierced this August, for my summer birthday. I’m really looking forward to that, and it’s basically one of the two reasons that I’ll enjoy this month! The other is my “job” working as an assistant at my favorite art camp. It’s weird to look forward to work!

Whether you think August is good or bad, happy or sad, glad or dark-clad (I don’t know I was just trying to rhyme), it’s still coming, if you want it to or not. So I think we should make the most of it! Celebrate that free will while you still can, or get a head start on gathering school supplies. Anything that floats your boat.

I made this drawing just for this post. I think my favorite part about it is the boba, which is always a great treat on a hot day. And yes, I know that the pool chair and the sky are the same color and I probably should have fixed that, but I didn’t notice it until after I uploaded it here! Oh well.

Have a great August, everyone!!
