Boomwhackers, exhibitions, and other life updates

-
I had a wonderful break in which I only left the house once! Sunday, some friends came over, and we played boomwhackers. They stayed over for a while and I still felt happy! Videos:

This week at school we have exhibitions, which is where students give a 25 to 30 minute presentation of their learning. I got mine out of the way and did it yesterday, and it felt really good and I'm happy with the result. My slideshow was pretty, and I smiled and projected and I think people were impressed/satisfied. For my interaction component, I brought in crickets for everyone to eat, and almost everybody did, which I wasn't expecting! Even the adults! I felt really good about that. 

Everyone's reviews are very nice (with Elizabeth's being one of the meanest) and I think I did a pretty good job for my first exhibition.

Also there are no other life updates, except my goat is pregnant.

Emergency Contact

It's the middle of Tech Week , so I don't really have time to read, but I managed to finish Emergency Contact by M. H. K. Choi anyway, because it's extremely overdue. This book is literally just Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl. No joke. Rainbow Rowell actually blurbed it ("blurbed" is totally a word, right?), and I can see why she liked it- it's basically just her own book. The main character, Penny, is a bit of a sort of awkward, introverted nerd, but still decently pretty. She's heading off into her freshman year of college. Her roommate and her roommate's bestfriend are both pretty and extroverted and fond of pushing Penny into social situations. Penny meets a guy. They text a lot. And also, she has a broken relationship with her mother and is writing a big thing because she is at college to be a writer. So yeah, it's just pretty much Fangirl . I was a little bit disappointed about the heterosexualness, because while Fangirl had a wonder...

Afterworlds- S. Westerfeld

It's finally time for another edition of "What's Delilah Been Reading?"! After reading approximately 1 book in 3 months, Librarian Lisa knocked some sense into me and I finished 3 books over break. To quickly talk about the other two: Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introverts Story - D. Tung This one's a small little graphic novel! It's short, but adorable and was nicely relatable, though straighter than I was hoping for. (Don't) Call Me Crazy- 33 Voices Start the Conversation about Mental Health - K. Jensen This was a collection of pieces from different authors about their experiences with mental health. Some parts were kind of boring, and I think it needed more poetry. The main reason I read it was because Adam Silvera had a piece in it. His piece was amazing. I love Adam Silvera. Also, the rest was pretty good. But! Back to the point. I was so desperate to start reading again that I took whatever Lisa recommended and just went in and starte...
