Halloween!

Hey guys!  Just a quick update post about TOMORROW which just happens to be my second-favorite holiday ever (first is Christmas)!!!

I'm a bit obsessed with this movie right now.

Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange?

I want to know what you guys are being, so comment below and tell me!  And it would be helpful if you put your name down too, or a nickname that I would know you by if you leave an Anonymous comment because I got one on my Photos or Videos post with no name so I don't know if I should take their opinion into account as they may or may not be someone who knows me.  If you're reading this, Mysterious Anon, please reveal your identity!! :D

Tomorrow, I shall dress myself in costume and join my crazy friends as we don our alter egos for the night.  There will be many pictures and much laughter, and hopefully a lot of candy.  And on Thursday, my Halloween identity will be very much revealed to you.

After all, in this town of Halloween, everyone is waiting for the next surprise...

Happy Homeschooling!

If you already know who I'm being, please don't spoil.  Even though almost everyone who reads this blog already knows haha :)

Photos or Videos?

So, I know I said I'd have my Day in the Life post up this week.  I started on it by taking pictures on Monday, but my camera ran out of battery and I haven't taken any more since.  Then today I thought maybe I could do a video version, so I shot some video but we were gone on errands and such so there wasn't much to tape...therefore I have a question for you.

Photos or Videos?

Which one of these would you rather see?  I can just as easily do both.  Please let me know what you'd like, and I will get it up as soon as possible :)

Happy Homeschooling!

Coming Soon

I'll be taking pictures over the next few days of my school stuff (not really this weekend but next week) to put together in a new and improved Day in the Life post, because eighth is pretty different from seventh in my opinion, and not just what I'm learning.  I'm a total photography freak, so hopefully you'll like that post which is coming very soon!!

Tomorrow we're heading to Sutter's Mill, hopefully the weather won't be too rainy.  Might see some old friends up there too :D

Happy Homeschooling!

Some Days

Today I created a schedule for school...because some days it's hard to get everything done if I don't have a time and place to do it.  [Just FYI, I wake up at 6 or 6:30 in the morning.  My choice.]

Here is my schedule of awesomeness :D

Bible- 7:30

Math- 7:45

Science/History (we take turns)- 8:45

English- 9:15

Latin- 11:20

Other-Civics, Extra reading, Latin HW- 1:15 (after lunch)

PE- Depends.  If I'm just doing some simple exercises I can do it earlier, but sometimes I'll ride my bike or something after school with my friends.

Don't worry, I always wear a helmet haha!

For Bible I'm currently reading Jesus Freaks.  It's really good!  Math, I am reviewing how to use the distributive property in Algebra which is not exciting or anything but pretty easy.  History is American History woohoo!!  Making a scrapbook, will take pics when done.  In English I am reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is really confusing.  And in Latin, Roman History because Miss Weight is taking a credentials course and she needs to complete a history segment.  Roman history is really cool, but personally I think they just took everything from the Greeks, renamed it in Latin, and made it bigger.

That's all, hope you enjoyed seeing how my day goes.  Right now I can't upload videos to my computer but when I can maybe I'll make a Day in the Life video blog for here.  What do you think?

Happy Homeschooling!

The Mark of Athena

“Wisdom’s daughter walks alone,

The Mark of Athena burns through Rome.

Twins snuff out the angel's breath,

Who holds the key to endless death.

Giants' bane stands gold and pale,

Won through pain from a woven jail.'”

Oh yeah, that's right, I got the Mark of Athena yesterday!!  MoA is the newest book in the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan, which is basically the sequel series to his Percy Jackson books.

And oh my word it was sooo good!!!  (Oh right, I finished it too...hehe)  I won't give out any spoilers yet, because I had to avoid looking up any Percy Jackson stuff from the release date until I got it (2 days of an honest minefield, I swear) and it's horrible to try to look places without being able to have spoilers.  If you want spoilers or have already read the book, just comment or email me or something and I'll do a whole post with everything :D

It's so hard to not say anything right now, but my friends held out for me--thank you!!--and I won't right now.  But just had to put out there that I read it and it is AMAZING, even if it ends on a "Rickhanger" which is a term I learned last night for Mr. Riordan's infamous cliffhangers haha!

Happy Homeschooling!
