Hey everyone. First of all, let me apologize for my inactivity on Scratch. I have been going through SO much lately, and just didn't have the time to get on. - School - School is going well for me. However, I get tons of assignments every single day, all of which I have to complete by the end of the week. I have this huge assignment in one of my classes that is due next week. All of the assignments are on the computer, so I'm on my computer 5 hours a day. My parents don't allow any more computer time after school, so Scratch is basically knocked out of my schedule. I don't have any school on Wednesdays, so I finish up all of my assignments then, along with my Spanish lesson and Gujarati lesson. I barely have 30 minutes on Scratch on Wednesdays, and during this time, I work on projects and answer comments. - Family Stuff - Ugh. How do I even get started on this topic? So much has been going on here at my house, and most things are too personal to put up here. Yesterday, a close relative of ours passed away, and everyone from my mom's side of the family is very upset. I'm feeling overwhelmed with this, and on top of that I have schoolwork and Scratch. Obviously, schoolwork is more important than Scratch, so I usually spend my time finishing that up. Anyways, since that person died, my mom has been quite distant and sad. I don't blame her, but it is definitely weird and different for me. I spent most of my time on schoolwork and finishing assignments, reading, and just admiring nature from climbing trees and just resting on them. Speaking of weather, it has been really nice outside these past few days. It's been 50-70 degrees, which feels super nice, compared to playing outside in 90 degrees. I love riding my bike, climbing trees, and just sitting outside in general. It also gives me a break from everything going on, from school, to Scratch, to family stuff. - Scratch - Overall, Scratch has been really helpful for getting my mind off of everything. However, like I mentioned several times before, I just don't have the time to get on often. I don't really have any idea on what more to write here... so... I guess that brings me to an end. Thank you guys so much for understanding. I'm really not sure when I'll be able to get online, so, no promises. Just please be patient with me; as you can see I have a lot going on and really don't need any more trouble. Thank you so, so, much for everything you have done for me. I hope you guys understand.

U p d a t e s : (UPDATED ON SEP. 29 2020, 8:16 P.M.) Hey everyone! I'm doing a lot better now, thanks to time and patience from all of my family, friends, me, and every single one of you that has commented. - School - School is pretty much the same. I get quite a lot of assignments, but I have gotten used to completing them all on time. Grades have been quite harsh, but hey, I guess that's 6th grade for you. (I was able to get my grade up to a 96. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but I worked hard to get there, so, I'm taking it as good.) - Family Stuff - Me and my whole family is doing a lot better now. We've all gotten past it, and we're all learning to accept that it is what it is. My daily routine is back on track, and honestly, I'm surprised that something so large was healed so quickly. (Some of the people who knew the person who passed well are still upset, but things are changing, even if the change is slow.) -Scratch - No one here on earth knows how much Scratch has helped me heal. I made so many good friends, and my old and new ones all comforted me. They all made me feel special, and I really wanted to express the gratitude for them by making a thank you project, which I will share soon. Again, thank you so much for helping me through hard times! I'm doing much better now and will slowly but surely start to get back on track! N o t e s : - Comments on my profile will be open, though they may be closed sometimes for various reasons. - If you have any questions, feel free to ask them to me! I won't get upset, as long as they're not personal questions. I really don't feel like talking about the whole 'family issue', so please don't ask me questions on that. I will keep you guys constantly updated if I feel the need. - I really honestly have no idea when I'll be back online, or when everything will be back to normal. I would appreciate if you don't ask me any questions on THAT, either, since I only have one answer: I don't know. - Please, please, PLEASE, be patient and kind with me. I really, truly, will try my hardest to be patient as well. - I am not participating in any MAPs, contests, or ATs for some time. I'm really sorry. - My projects will be short, and I won't upload very frequently. - When I feel that I am ready to come back, I will make another updates project, so you guys will know I am back. I will also post it on my profile. - I answer comments almost every day, and will continue to do so. Thank you all so much again. Bye. - PriyaPink
