First, happy (belated) birthday to my Uncle, Ms. S's dad, glad he had a good one this year! I can't believe he's that old, either, because that means that in four years, three-hundred-forty-one days, six-hundred-seventy-one minutes, my dad will be fifty! Wow! (Sorry, Hannah, I couldn't resist)
Second, I would like to give you a description of my school day, because it says a lot about me, and how disorganized and uncoordinated I am.
7:30-Wake up, beat the
7:45-Put on running shoes and walk three miles on treadmill
8:45-Take much-needed shower.
9:00-Get dressed, do school, eat breakfast, do school, eat lunch, finish school.
1:45-Try to finish something pertaining to one of my many hobbies.
2:30-Read.
3:30-Wander about the house, talk to my siblings, check facebook, do something on the internet, read.
6:30-Dad gets home, eat supper, clean up after supper
9:30(ish)-Come up with a really great idea pertaining to one of my many hobbies, start working on it.
12:30(ish)-Almost finish my really great idea, but decide I should leave it 'til tomorrow, clean up a bit, get ready for bed
12:45-Hop in bed.
1:45(am)-Every night, like clockwork, I am woken by one of my brother's hamsters, who either gets out of it's cage or makes it's wheel bang against the cage.
2:00(am)-Get hamster out of my room, or wiggle it's wheel so it will not bang the cage any more.
2:30-Get back to sleep.
And so it goes.
My whole day probably sounds seriously monotonous to a lot of people. I imagine things like: "Seriously, loser, get a life." and "Wow, and you were saying homeschoolers aren't lame?" are running through your head right about now.
You are entitled to your opinion, of course.
But I love it. I love having time to do things that I actually like, and not being pressured to play sports or do anything I do not especially want to do. I love being at home with all my stuff and my books, and getting to stick to my own cockamamie schedule, and taking classes that I want to take, and, and... well, I just love it.
Most of the time.
Sometimes, I want to curl up and die. But only sometimes. As a whole, though, I really do think I'm better befitted to homeschooling than anything else. I want to homeschool my kids, if I ever have any, and I thank God that my mom and dad decided to homeschool me. It makes me happy.
So, on that positive note, I'm off.
