This Labor Day weekend, I was wondering what we would do for the holiday. A cheese festival was mentioned, but I wasn&#8217;t sure if that was what we were going to do. I knew we wouldn&#8217;t be going too far because I had a lot of homework and studying to do &#8211; Junior year is hard &#x1f61f;.<\/p><p>I&#8217;ll catch you up on all of the things that have been going on with me very soon on my channel, but for now, let me tell you how this weekend went.<\/p><p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but my weekend starts on Friday. I think that&#8217;s the day that I start checking out &#8211; which isn&#8217;t a great idea since I have some of my hardest classes on Friday. This Friday, since it was going to be a long weekend and we had Labor Day ff, I definitely couldn&#8217;t check out. I had to pay attention and make sure that I understood everything before the weekend got started because I wouldn&#8217;t see my teachers again until Tuesday. After school, I had practice, and THEN I had to run to the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0rvHO0TPrFI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">studio at WGN to film a news segment<\/a> about the <a href=\"https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/the-comed-ev-rally-building-and-racing-electric-vehicles-at-the-museum-of-science-and-industry\/\">EV Rally<\/a>. I ate dinner and got dressed while I was in the car on the way there.<\/p><p>I was the last one to get there, but I wasn&#8217;t late &#x1f605;. Of course, I had to go to the bathroom, and almost missed the entire thing because they ended up starting early &#8211; and it was LIVE!<\/p><p>Even though I ran in like a maniac, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0rvHO0TPrFI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the interview<\/a> ended up going well, and I was really happy to see my teammates again. <\/p><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif\">\n\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:46%\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/YgeLFRAA1OwBciyBqb\" title=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/YgeLFRAA1OwBciyBqb\/giphy.gif\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"ComEd EV Rally Winners on WGN\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0rvHO0TPrFI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>After I got home, I did some studying and then prepared for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/search\/plans?query=sabbath\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a full 24 hours of rest<\/a>. It had been a long week, and I definitely needed it.<\/p><p>We got up early Sunday morning and instead of going to the Cheese Festival in Amish country here in Illinois, we ended up taking a road trip to Michigan for the Detroit Jazz Festival! I was excited because I had never been to a jazz festival before AND we had some fun stops planned while we were there.<\/p><p>The first stop was to see <a href=\"https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/interview-clip-living-with-food-allergies\/\">Dr. Renee<\/a> and her family outside of Detroit. It is always nice to her, and it was cool to meet her mom and dad, and her sister. <\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dr_renee_lemonerdy-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Lemonerdy, Dr. Renee, and my brother smiling.\" class=\"wp-image-12504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dr_renee_lemonerdy-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dr_renee_lemonerdy-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dr_renee_lemonerdy-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dr_renee_lemonerdy-45x60.jpg 45w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dr_renee_lemonerdy-67x90.jpg 67w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dr_renee_lemonerdy.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><p>After that, we ate the lunch that we packed and headed to Franklin Cider Mill for some cider and donuts.
