First Week of School: An Update

Now you all get to learn about my fascinating school habits!!! Prepare to be amazed. They involve spending long periods of time sprawled on my bed with a book and my third-rate laptop speakers set to play Party Shuffle in my iTunes.

Yep. I have a pretty exciting life.

Anyway, I actually think this year is going to be a fun one. I'm taking:
Mathematics for Everyday Life, grades 11 and 12 (and it PWNS Algebra)
Exploring Creation With Chemistry, by Dr. J. Wile (good so far)
Reading Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell, which is absolutely brilliant, as well as I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris, which is actually better than I thought it would be. This year involved a lot of discussion about guys and dating so I decided I should really read the book already.
Will be taking English 155 from University of Athabasca
Rosetta Stone French
Social Studies is made up of various things, including a trip to Winnipeg in November to a convention for the Conservative Party of Canada, volunteering for an election (which is coming! Be excited!), reading various books (7 Men Who Rule the World from the Grave, 100 Most Important Events in Christian History) and, of course, the newspaper. Social is fun.
RCM Grade 9 piano, with practical exam in January
RCM Music History 3, with written exam in December
As well as memorizing 792 verses of the Gospel of Luke. Power quizzer.

It looks busy, but it isn't. Yet. However, it probably will be, especially if you add in either student teaching piano, or a job. But that's okay.

I do actually still plan to blog about Noyan from the Quebec trip. Stay tuned.


"That sign says 'Thank you for visiting Rocky Mountain House.'"
"How did they know we were visiting?!"
"Ooo, spooky."

Yay Chem!
I coulda killed it during the first few weeks, but once I nailed significant figures it was okay.

I have physics this year... harder to wrap my head around, but more tangible, so I like it better.
