Day Three: Fish Sticks and Rainy Mornings? - September 1st, 2010

Today was better than yesterday, is really the only thing I have to say.  It wasn’t necessarily a bad day, and it wasn’t necessarily a good day either.  The morning started out a little groggy, since it was raining, and kind of nasty outside.  I was freezing for most of the day too.  But those are really the only bad parts, except U. S History.  It was a lot harder today and I kept getting frustrated, mostly because we are still doing colonial life, which we do EVERY SINGLE YEAR.  So, I was just really bored, and then Katti got done before me, which is frustrating.  I think that she is really skipping over stuff and not really doing the work, that’s why she’s been going back and having to redo so much. But, it’s her loss, she’s just hurting her own education and I need to continue to tell myself that, or I am going to start skipping over stuff, which will not end well.  So, then, we started Beowulf. It only got better today, now that I’m starting to understand what is going on in the story, I can follow thoughts and the plot at this point, now that I’m starting to understand Old English.  Then, of course, Katti got done before me, when I had only been at it for a few minutes, so we called it quits and started lunch. This was, really, mom and Katti eating while we watched music videos.  I got some work for the Feast done, as far as planning the senior/ Grad Party.  Hopefully we’ll be able to do that, and it can be really intense, awesome, and fulfilling at the same time.  Next, was Consumer Math, which was really good today, I actually remembered everything that I was going over, and it was relatively easy.  So, I got all the way out to the 15th, and considering today is September 1st, I would say that is a big deal.  I think I’m getting pretty close to the end of chapter test for that, which should be really interesting, to see how I do on my first home school math test, compared to how I did on all my other math tests over the years.  Finally, mom and I had American Government.  We had a discussion today over, like, parts of the government and parts of politics that are necessary for the freedoms that we have.  It was really good, it got pretty deep, I think that is what I’m going to like best about the home school thing, that we get to have really good conversations about things, without stupid comments and having to go over the same thing a million times.  So, overall today was really good.  It sounds like we will be having fish sticks for dinner (thought I should probably explain the title).  I’m actually pretty excited for tomorrow.  I was looking ahead in my books, and it looks like I will hitting some more interesting things, and probably a few tests, which means Friday, we can start on a whole new chapter. YAY SENIOR YEAR!!!!
