Well, today was nothing short of frustrating. I didn’t sleep very well last night, so I came to class tired. Probably not the best idea ever but it was a pretty good day. I started the day with a very boring U.S History assignment, which I blew. It was horrible. I felt like I know all the stuff and then, as I was taking the test I realized that I didn’t know any of the people. As if: that was going to help me somehow with the rest of my life, anyways. It was just a little frustrating. It was also frustrating seeing Katti constantly moving forward, while I was still stuck on my first subject. It just doesn’t seem fair that her lessons are so much shorter than mine, or maybe she just skips through stuff. I don’t know, but regardless, it’s frustrating. Then I started reading “Beowulf” for British Literature. It is actually pretty interesting, save that it is confusing. It seems a pretty epic (pun intended). Then, as soon as Katti got done with her three things (which of course left me in the middle of mine), we went to the grocery store, as a “field trip”. It was really weird being there with only, like ten other people. I’m sure a lot of people were wondering why we weren’t at school. When we came back, we had some lunch and put the groceries away, and got back to work. It was time for consumer math. The beginning was pretty easy, talking about giving change. And then it got harder; with long division. Apparently, I never learned how to do long division properly, and I got owned by the program. Luckily, mom knew how to do it (I know, crazy right?!), and she showed me how. So, I ended up getting a good grade. I even had a quiz today, it was pretty intense, but I ended up getting a hundred percent on it!!! I was so excited when mom told me that. Last, I had American Government, which is officially my favorite subject. Today was a little frustrating again, because it was all about English people and all of the rules they had and everything that led up to how we Americans do what we do, and have the rights, etc. that we have. And then even before I was done reading the chapter to do the activity sheets, Katti got done, and go to go and take a nap, which angered me to the extreme. I hope that she doesn’t get to get done before me every time, I think that she should have to play games or study or something, it just seems unfair, because I’m the senior and she’s the freshman, and hers is on the computer, and my work is so much harder than hers. I guess I’m just saying this because I’m tired and frustrated and not handling the situation very well. But, I will take that as is, thinking about how good my education is going to be by putting in all of these extra minutes/hours. That being said, I still have HOMEWORK to do. Which is crazy insane. I have to read a certain amount of Beowulf tonight, so that I can be ready for class, and I really need to study my U.S history book, since I have to retake that test in the morning. But, I think that I just need to let all of this stuff go, and get ready for tomorrow, maybe take a break for a little while tonight, and then do my homework, then talk to Brandon for a while to get my mind off of it. I just think I’m really tired today, really. Overall, this home school experience hasn’t been all bad so far. I actually feel like I’m learning something instead of feeling my brain cells die by listening to people’s stupidity. I’m just really glad that we did what was best for us. I’m sure tomorrow will go a lot better.
Krissy.
