The Update

Hey guys, here's my update...

Spanish is review, review, review.  Mrs. Garay has given us a 60-verbs quiz to wake up our brains, hehe.

Biology is running fairly smoothly.  The collecting, pressing, and mounting of flowers and tree leaves is lots of fun.  Looking through a microscope at tiny threads was not fun (mainly because they looked like black hairy snakes when magnified 100 times).

Geography and Geometry just started last week.  I'm taking them online with potter's school...one is at 8am on Thursday morning...and one is at 11:30am on Thursday morning...haha, I'm like completely brainwashed by lunchtime because I've been listening to non-visible teachers talk to me through speakers for 3 hours.

Rhetoric is very...dense.  Mrs. Hempel is giving us a ton of information for us to take in during the first couple weeks of class (not to mention we have to read some stuff each week out of a huge, black, textbook that says CLASSICAL RHETORIC FOR THE MODERN STUDENT on it in blue letters).  How frighteningly close to college level is that!!!  Mrs. Hempel is, however, a very good teacher, obviously because she has her master's degree in communication. lol

Violin Ensemble is going quite well.  My new full-size violin has a very nice tone.  I'm pretty content with this tiny portion of my schedule.

Kids N' Dogs club is just getting on board.  We had a meeting last night (I'm the secretary so I read the minutes despite my sore throat).  After the meeting we had snacks, yay, and played Do You Love Your Neighbor using those chairs that slide backwards ten feet whenever you sit down in them.  I have to say though that game is the best when played with a zillion 8th-graders (because then it gets really really awkward...and funny).  I can't wait for dog training to start up again :D

I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A CAR!!!!!  I just needed to say that :D
