Driving time!

Yay, it's driving time!  I got my driver's permit, woo hoo!I am thrilled to get to drive now, although I am still a bit nervous....and I think my mom is too, lol.  But, so far it's been pretty good.  I have to do a lot of practicing driving with my mom or dad next to me.  Since I have a permit, there certain times of day I can drive (no driving after 9 p.m.) and I can't have any passengers other than one of my parents.  Not a problem for me, I think my sisters would make me more nervous if they were in the car with me.  So, I have passed another milestone in my life, such an exciting time for me!

Schoolwork is going pretty well, of course I am enjoying British literature, lol.  I did not get to register for any college classes as a dual-enrolled student.  The had cut back on a lot of classes I was interested in taking, there was nothing in the Career path I wanted to take....they only had classes for computer, business, animal science, etc.  They do have the Associate degree pathway, but I need good ACT scores and I haven't taken that test yet.  I will be going thru a ACT test prep book for the rest of this semester, then take the placement test at the community college.  Hopefully then I will qualify to take some classes like art, history, or English. Other stuff....piano lessons start back in a couple of weeks, yay!I really love playing the piano and have been keeping up with practicing some new songs during the summer.  I can hardly wait to get started!

Well, that is all for now, I am tired as I've had a long day of visiting some new friends at a homeschool group.  Have a great day!

School time already?!

I can't believe it......it's time for school already.  Where did the summertime go?  Sigh, I think it went by way too fast for me.  I got to enjoy summer camp, 4-H activities, and driver's education.
Now here it is, time for school again.  But I am a little excited because I am starting 11th grade!  I only have three high school subjects to do.....Bible, U.S History, and British/American Literature.  I am really going to love that British literature, my favorite!  I will also be getting to register for a couple of college classes for dual enrollment, I'm very excited about that. 

Sorry this post is so short, I need to get going with my schoolwork!

Lazy days of summer

It's the lazy days of summer for me, lol!  I had a great week of summer camp, and I really enjoyed getting to see my big brother who works at the camp.  Thankfully it was not too hot although we did get rain....but that didn't mess up our time at the lake.  I got to enjoy swimming, tubing, and kayaking.  Then there was dodgeball, counselor hunt, turtle wars, volleyball, rollerskating, etc.  Of course the preaching and devotions time was good as well.  Since getting my braces off my teeth, I was espeially looking forward to getting something at the snack shop each day....eating stuff I wasn't able to eat when I was wearing braces.  However, it seemed like everytime I bought a snack, it was time for another game or activity,  kind of made it hard for me to enjoy my snack right away.  I did make sure I got to the gift shop too so I could buy a music CD, I got one from Majesty Music called "Listen for the Trumpet", one of my favorites. 

Now that camp is done, I am still waiting to start the on-the-road training for driver's education.  They haven't called about that yet, I am both excited and nervous about it.  For now, I have been playing computer games, reading, listening to music, doing yard work, and helping out at home.  And, a few weeks from now, I will be going to a 4-H activity too.  So there is always plenty for me to do during these lazy days of summer!
