Well, today went by really fast. I really enjoyed being able to work at my own pace, and learn what I thought was important. The books are really insightful and had a lot of stuff that you don’t necessarily get to learn in public school. Today, I actually left “school” feeling like I had learned something. On top of that it was really nice to be able to listen to music while I was reading and doing work. And being able to leave or go to the bathroom, get a drink or some food, whenever I wanted to was nice as well. I really enjoyed the one-on-one attention. It made me feel better that what I was learning was legit, instead of just being another one in twenty five. Also, I noticed last year, that if you are proficient in whatever class it is, you get less attention, and that was usually me. That being said, I didn’t feel like I got as much attention as I deserved in High School, and I could have done better throughout the years if I had had that kind of attention. The only thing I didn’t really like about today was the “Consumer Math”. I felt like it was way beneath me, and I’m not even that good at math. However, Mama-Teacher said that it will probably get harder as we go along. This will be nice. I’m really tired of doing addition and subtraction. U.S History was pretty interesting. I learned a few things, but for the most part today was mainly review. British Literature is pretty confusing at this point. I think that the book is a tiny bit over my head, and it’s all heavy on the JESUS. So, that could also be a part of it. Then we had lunch, pizza rolls. I already talked about consumer math. And finally, I have American Government (Which will be Economics second semester). It is, by far, my favorite subject. I’ve always been pretty interested in Government anyway, so, having this opportunity to learn it in books that the actual government doesn’t control is pretty interesting, and definitely an experience I wouldn’t have gotten to do in Public School. I am definitely going to love it. Although this book is also pretty heavy on the JESUS, as well. Finally, I think the only thing I’m really going to miss is the “senior feeling”. Going to senior meetings, walking down the hall being the oldest, the oldest and most experienced on the debate team, class t-shirts, and all of the other fun stuff that goes along with being a senior. Although, I was never really into that stuff anyway, I just kind of think it sucks that I won’t get to experience it. Even though, I really feel like I did last year, since most people thought I was a senior, and I had the most experience on the debate team. So, I suppose it all worked out. And mom has been talking about signing me up for the senior stuff through the home school association, which should be pretty neat. All of that being said: today was really good, and I’m really happy with the outcome. I was really scared about this whole home school thing and all the change but it doesn’t seem to be affecting me. I haven’t been accepted to any colleges, or gotten any scholarships yet, so we will have to see what comes out of that, that will definitely add stress. Then we’ll have to see what happens with this whole “debate” team. It’s all going to be a play it by ear, day-by-day type of thing. I’m not worried. HAPPY SENIOR YEAR!!!!
