Wow! Its September already! (I know, it's been September for 6 days...WHAT?!?) I started doing school work last Monday, so this is my second week...so far its been pretty fun. (oh, I see the quizzical looks on your faces now. Yes, I like doing school.) Well, not all the time, of course. I get crabby and lazy and freakish, but over all, yes. I enjoy the knowledge that is supposed to stick to my brain like bread-dough, and I find scheduling my day quite thrilling. Here, I'll share the subjects I am pounding into my mind this year:
Latin - this one is new for me. (yes, I'm a junior in high-school). I want to know Latin, and then someday I'll know like, 10 other languages, and it will be easy for me since I know the root of all classical languages. :D
Algebra2 - i. h.a.t.e. m.a.t.h.!. yes I do. I would love to be able to understand graphs and even simple equations and word problems, but frankly, I don't. I get through it, but nothing really makes sense to me - especially the question of "why am I doing this?". Yep. it's a big problem. (no pun intended ;)
English - reading random short stories and then dissecting them for a week is the scheme of things for now. Eventually I'll read some novels and write some essays. Most excited about the reading part. Essays scare me.
History - American History, to be exact. I read 68 pages of "Christ and the Americas" last week. This week I'm supposed to read a couple supplement books, but I don't have any yet. I could re-read "The Witch of Blackbird Pond" for the umpteenth time...I LOVE THAT BOOK! (actually, it was my sister who read it once a month for a while...) anyway..that's probably what I'll be doing in half an hour...
Oh, but then I have to write an essay on it in two weeks...oh well, if its something I love!
umm..I think that's all my subjects! of course I have to practice my music every day, and that sort of thing, but that's pretty much it. interesting. (I'm not doing science this year...shocking! especially since it used to be my favorite subject...then I met chemistry. end of story.)
So now you can picture me, reading my eyes out, (since most of my time is spent reading now), and trying to remember what the point is, and having a good time. I am getting lonesome for the sewing machine, though...it's been a couple of weeks. Hey, I got my first real costume dress done! I've been waiting to take some good pictures before I post about it, but it is SO PRETTY! and I made a cape...makes my feel like Darth Vader, but hey. It's cool. ;)
