Back to schoolwork

 It's the start of a new year and so has another semester of homeschooling.  This is our second week back, so I have been a little busy getting back into the swing of things.  Last semester, I finished British Literature, so now I am studying American Literature...not my favorite area but I guess it's ok, lol.  So far I am doing well with my school work and practicing my piano music.  Things didn't work out for me to get to do college classes this semester since they've made stuff so much stricter.  I had to have passed into all three areas....math, reading, and english...in order do their associate degree program for high schoolers......and I only passed into freshman English (although I was close to passing the other areas).  So, I think it will be easier for me if I just wait until I graduate from high school next year and then get started on my Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education.  This way I can just skate on thru the next year and a half of school. 

I had a great Christmas and got some of the things on my wishlist....."The Last Airbender" movie, a Christian music CD, some gum and candy, a hand lotion/soap set from my sister, a sweatshirt from my brother, and a paint set from my other sister.  I also had my 17th birthday last week  , complete with an ice cream cake, yummy!  I got a paint-by-number set (picture of cute kittens), some candy, a Hobbit calendar, and some nice smelling shower gel.  It was great!

We had my birthday a day early because it was time to take my big brother back to college, so I went along to help carry his stuff into his room (plus I happen to enjoy the trip up there).  But on the way back home, I started feeling kind of bad, thinking it was maybe something I ate.....turned out to be a stomach virus....ick !  But I am glad that is done and over with, hopefully that is it for sickness.  And speaking of sickness, our poor cat Oscar  must have had a hairball, seems he barfed up a good-sized hairball...right on the hood of my brother's car....ick!  Thankfully that barfiness is done with and things are back to normal, lol!

Have a great day!
