This is now my second week of my new tutorial, SHINE! I am really enjoying it. I have never gone to a tutorial before so this has been a very new experience for me.
If you don't remember, I am taking Algebra I, Biology, and Spanish I. My favorite class would have to be either Biology or Algebra. And that is really weird for me, because I have never really liked math or science. But my teachers at SHINE are very good at explaining things and I have very good school books.
The first week of math was not quite as fun as this week because I never took Pre Algebra. I was going to this year but something about a new law made it so that this year I have to go ahead and start Algebra 1. So for my first class, I had no idea what my Algebra teacher was talking about. Literally, I was sitting through the entire hour not understanding a single word. When I got home I told Mom and she had to go over the whole lesson with me. I finally caught on and I think I am going to like Algebra.
My second week is going much better. SHINE is going to be great!

Vacation Is Over Now School Starts.
Hello everyone! Vacation ended last week so we started school. I am now a freshman in highschool! (should I be exited or worried about that?)
I am going to go to a tutorial this year for some of my schoolwork. At the tutorial I will be taking; Algebra1, Biology, and Spanish. At home I will learn; US History, English, German and my favorite subject Literature! Along with school I will have P.E. and Luke, Grace, and I are taking a ballroom dance class.
The start of the school year was very interesting. The last Friday of summer Luke, Grace, and I went to a fair with Luke's girlfriend Brittany, A fair as you all probably know is not a very clean place; Saturday morning I woke up with pinkeye. Yay. The first few days of school I had to keep putting drops of medicine in my eye. Good thing I am used to contacts or I would have had a problem with that.
Yesterday, Grace and I were invited to go fishing with some friends at a very big pond. No one caught any thing and is was very hot so we went to a small building next to the pond, to get some water. While we were standing there chatting I heard some very high pitched meows. We looked over and this tiny stray kitten, about two weeks old, is standing there wobbling on its legs yelling at us. I picked it up because it was so tiny and cute I couldn't leave it. I took it home and guilted mom into my taking care of it.
So now I have a adorable little black kitten.
I hope that is not bad luck?

School Again
I hate it when you start a book and the next day school starts. I really can not concentrate on my school when that happens. If only the books I am usually reading could be considered school.
Well, our family started school again last week and I had just started "Breaking Dawn". None of us were very happy. Mom made a completely new schedule for school, and now we start school on Tuesday and do our tests on Monday instead of Friday. When Mom told us this, the first question was: "Will we still have a weekend?" Mom's answer was yes - if you know that you are ready for Monday. The new schedule is working fine so far.
I don't like my math book. I never liked math. Luke and Grace thought fractions were hard and decimals were easy, while I think fractions are okay and decimals are really hard. I think my math book was translated from Swahili; the explanations are so hard to understand. Mom usually tells me after reading the lesson and frowning for a second, "Okay don't do it the way they do it, this is how I learned." And then she shows me a easier, less complicated way.
History is my favorite subject. I argue a lot with Rebekah about history, because she says she just cannot concentrate on it. To me, it's like reading an exciting story: good guys, bad guys, legends, beautiful city's, and adventure.
I am reading the book "Public Enemies"- it is very good. Another book I am reading for school is "Once And Future King". It is interesting, but not my favorite book in the world.
By the way, I did finish "Breaking Dawn". It made me get behind in school. I had to make it up by missing Sunday night dodge ball with my church and Monday P.E. with my friends. Bummer.
Don't check out a really great book the day before school starts. It doesn't help your grades.
