August 24th...
I think this is the first time I actually have a date to put in my calendar, where I can label it as "First School Day".
Quite frankly, it scares me to death. The first couple of days within getting the books, I was too busy with them to actually think about it.
Since i'm practically my own teacher (have been since 7th grade) that big-blue-death-binder (as I fondly call it) is death row. Can I hang myself now?
2300 pages, of NOTES. Don't go on thinking that homeschooling is all "lets-sit-on-the-couch-in-my-pajamas-all-day-long" kind of deal. It's intense.
I sat for 3 days, at my dining room table, I figured out which books I was reading each week, I switched ALL the notes from the back to the appropiate week tab in the binder. I took all the old books out of the book-shelf, and put them in a box, and then I organized my books to which order I was reading them in, and put them in the empty, (can I add clean?) book-shelf.
I'm thinking i'm getting a little bit German here...lol. I know my Mom won't do it, so I do it. And golly, I enjoy it :)
Even though I still have 9 more weeks of notes to transfer, I have to say, (as I am in the beginning of ALL school years,) i'm freaking excited!
If you want, look at this link, (it shows what i'm doing this year)
I am really excited about the books i'm reading this year. I'm reading things like Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis all the way to The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald...The one thing I think i'm not too excited about is the Chemistry part. I think this is one of those things that just creeps me out, and puts me into the "I'm too stupid to do this" mode.
I still have to figure out my schedule for wake-up times, because now i'm starting to do worship sets at my church on thursdays and fridays at 12 pm and 1 pm...So, new schedule looks like:
Mon-Wed: I get to wake-up at 7:30 am.
Thu-Fri: 5-5:30 am.
Ta-da! I got it down. Haha.
