Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you've all had a great week and are  ready for a fun weekend! My mum and I have a free day on Saturday and I'm planning on getting my second ear piercings done which will be great. I've wanted them for ages!

Good afternoon!  Today I really didn't feel like doing school so my Mum decided I could have the morning off! We went on an adventure to the Gold Coast Arts Centre to have morning tea, a walk on the beach, and a mini photo shoot in front of this awesome wall!  Seriously the coolest wall ever! When we got home I had to do some school. So I did the following subjects, just so I could say I'd been productive.  1 hour - Maths Online 15 mins - French revision (test tomorrow)  15 mins - Worldviews revision (test tomorrow or Monday)  Choose a craft activity for Indigo for next week and a recipe for dinner Tuesday night.  So I had a pretty simple day. 😊 QOTD is would you rather be in front or behind the camera? I would definitely rather be behind but I don't mind having my photo taken either.  Homeschool Girl xx

Hey, everyone!  (It seems kind of ridiculous starting this post off like that since I know no one will probably be reading this. But if you are, Hello! Thank you so much for beginning to follow my journey) I'm Saraya (or Raya, which is what I've been called since I was little and my younger siblings couldn't say my name properly.) I am 15 years old, a bookworm, art enthusiast, aspiring photographer and homeschool girl.  {With a camera in hand as usual} I started this blog because I need an outlet to just talk. Since I am homeschooled and don't go to school and interact with people, I wanted somewhere where I could just be myself whether or not anyone is listening. If you choose to follow along on my journey than I just want to thank you! I promise it will be an adventure.  I will be sharing on here my schedule every day and what I get up to. Also including any art pieces I do, photos I take or any random inspiration from my day.  More comin...
