Holiday CAS

The week of holidays passed way too fast and I had so much to do that I barely got to do any of my CAS activities. 
As I was out of town for the whole week I didn't get to go to Zumba, which isn't good at all. Luckily I'm back now, and I can get back to zumba and being more active in general. 
It was also a cold week, which meant that going jogging didn't seem all that great. However, I did go for a very quick run one night and it was the coolest experience. It was really cold outside and it was pitch dark..our house is in the forest, which meant there were no street lamps either. It was so awesome, because I basically had to run according to my senses and it was only me, my dog and a sky full of starts. I actually REALLY enjoyed it!
I did A LOT (even for me) of baking this week! I made three cakes!! I'm actually really happy, because I got to practice my decorating skills using fondant.

Action & Service

I've actually done a lot of CAS this week, even though some of it doesn't count for my school CAS projects. I'm going to write about it anyways, because I feel that I've accomplished a lot this week.

First of all, I went to my usual two zumba classes this week. They were GREAT, as usual!! I really enjoy zumba and I always feel relaxed and refreshed after! The teacher is really nice, and even though there are over 20 students in the class, she is still able to give everyone personal attention.
It's been cold and rainy, so I haven't really been jogging.

I had a lot of time for baking this week. We made a cake for our friends and it came out as the yummiest cake we've ever made. I also made banana muffins and banana bread, which both came out really delicious.

On Saturday was the Serve the City BacktoServe event, which was awesome! I haven't been to the soup kitchen in a long time, so I'm really glad that I got to take part in this event. I chose to take part in the Butterfly Project, which I've done before. It was really nice, because we got to help out without having to run around the town - which I wasn't in the mood for. We made motivational cards to hang on the clothes and then helped clean up their HQ.


 
 










On Saturday night I also went to babysit my nephew.

The wind is blowing, the leaves are falling..

Autumn is really on it's way now..well, it's more like already here now. That means that it's getting colder and it rains more, which means that jogging outside is getting less enjoyable.
Nevertheless, I went for a 7km jog on Tuesday, which was awesome. I could really really feel the burn, which doesn't always happen, but this time I could really feel that I was pushing myself.
On Thursday, I had zumba which was great as usual!

We also had student council this week. Autumn also means Halloween, which means that it's time to organise whatever is going to take place at school on Halloween. I helped organised it last year, and will gladly also take part this year!

Zumbaa!!

This week I went to Zumba on Monday and Thursday, and to the gym on Friday and Saturday. I've been really active this week and it's really been helping with the stress. I also went jogging on Tuesday, which was awesome. However, now it's getting cold and I don't really want to jog outside anymore. That's why I went to the gym at the end of the week.
We also had a quick student council meeting, to talk about plans for the coming year and the G5 meeting next week.
I really need to start doing more service activities.. Oh! That reminds me! This Friday was Teachers' Day and I had to bake for that. I also organised a baking workshop for the teachers, which was awesome. I want to find more time for baking though and I reeeaalllyy need to go to the soup kitchen or something.
