Afterschool Activities

So, does anybody have any afterschool/extracurricular activities? I'm not that busy anymore, because many of my activities are over. I am part of a choir/theater group, and we just performed in a play. Now, we don't have practices anymore. I also did Cross Country, but now that the season's over and we don't have any more races, practices are optional. I play the piano, and I still have practice. I was really busy!

I did Cross Country, and now I'm currently doing Jazz Band and Spring Track. I haven't run in awhile so it hurts a bit to run...

I'm homeschooled, but this would probably count as "after school," correct?

Monday: Gymnastics

Tuesday: English language tutor (even though I'm pretty fluent now, my mother makes me)

Wednesday: Swim

Thursday: English language tutor (TWICE a week)

Friday: Cheerleading practice

And on Saturday and Sunday, I'm free unless I have to cheer for a game (basketball).

I'm EXTREMELY busy.

Yes, even if you are homeschooled, they do count as afterschool/extracurricular activities :)

Nothing for now, but my father wants me to start something, so I'll probably start martial arts soon. :)

I actually have a lot so here it goes... (I'll do it listed by day because it's easier for me that way)

Sunday: I have religious school.

Tuesday: I play violin with this group called Intermezzo. It's basically outside of school orchestra.

Wednesday: I have jazz dance class. Also every other Wednesday I have Explorer Post.

Friday: I have voice and violin lessons.

Saturday: I volunteer at a local nature center.

I also participate in Speech & Debate but the season is over.  I also act in musicals. So right now I am in Jane Eyre at my school and we have rehearsal every day.

In fall I did cross country running and Spanish club. During the winter it was cross country skiing. The theatre club that I participated in finished in March so now I have track practice. I also go to meetings for NEHT which is the New England Heritage Tour, a program sponsered by YMCA that our school participates in if one so choses. Does anybody else do any of those?

I'm in choir, jazz dance and play piano. I would love to do cross country but we don't have it here. And I'd like to start yoga. Does anyone here do yoga?
