The Story of My Life

My name is Maddy L. I am a sixteen year old Junior at CA. I have been going to CA for five years. I take a bus to school, as I live far away. I am also a full IB student this year, so I have seven classes and have tons of work to do.  My favorite subjects in school are English, Theater, and History, which is why I am so excited for this class, as it combines English and Theater, two of my favorite subjects.
I live with my little sister, my dad, my mom, my grandma,  my younger brother, and my little naked mole rat/ dog, Tazzy, We call her a naked mole rat, because her curly hair got so matted that my mom had to have the groomer shave it all off, leaving us with a short haired dog that looks entirely different. She still is very cute, but after having her for a year, she still does not like me and only sees me as a giant chew toy.
I love spending time with my family, especially my cousins. I have seven  cousins, one set of eighteen year old quadruplets and three little cousins. I spent three days with my little cousins over the summer in their South Hampton house and had so much fun. I watched "Star Wars" with them for the first time, go on lots of trampolines, and go to a concert in the park.
I love spending time with my friend. My best friend, Elise and I love having sleepovers and watching movies. My friend from Greece, Jordan, and I also text a lot as she lives in South Carolina. I also love hanging out with my theater friends, which often results in us singing songs.
  Another one of my many loves in life is traveling. I have been to five countries in Europe. I love getting to go to new places to learn about history and different cultures, especially from museums. I love going to museums so much that I have been to the Natural History Museum in New York City, the British Museum, and the Smithsonian, (all the museums in the "Night at the Museum" movies). My love for museums is not shared by my siblings, though. This summer, when I also got to go to the National Museum in Athens,Greece, they were kicking and screaming the whole way through it, but I do have to admit it was mostly just pots and pans.
Acting is another one of my passions, which I was drawn to at a young age as it invokes no athletic ability whatsoever, which I have never had. I do it after school and am taking this class to do more of it. I have been in many different plays, such as "Galileo," "The Madwoman of Chaiot," "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," "Kiss Me, Kate,"  "Christmas Carol," and "Bone Chiller." "Bone Chiller" was my favorite because I got to have the most fun with my character Pippi. It got to play a comic role, which is my favorite kind of acting. I also love improvising, because I love getting to be creative and in charge of the scene.
That is all for my first blog post. I'll write back soon. Bye-bye for now.
