We're not moving.   Dad tried to get the car in the driveway, but couldn't 'cos of the concrete posts in front. So I won't get a massive garden, after all. Or at least, that one. I have just read the latest book in James Patterson's Maximum Ride series. Strongly recommend it. Also I'm rereading Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy. Loved that one too. I think by now you'll have gathered that I'm a huge bookworm. The third in the Inheritance cycle by Christopher Paolini is coming in September, and the last in Cornelia Funke's Inkheart trilogy is coming in October! Maximum Ride is about mutant bird kids trying to escape imprisonment, Skulduggery Pleasant is about a wisecracking skeleton detective, and the Inheritance cycle is about the last Dragon Rider fighting to overthrow an evil Immortal king. The Inkheart trilogy Is about a father and daughter with the ability to read things in and out of written stories, and the Lady Grace Mysteries, which I failed to mention, are about a Maid of Honour to Queen Elisabeth I trying and succeeding to bring wrongdoers at court to justice. Me and my family have been playing Myst on the computer. It's made by Cyan Worlds, and its FAB!! Only thing is that we're running out of episodes to  play. We only have Myst 5 and URU expansion discs. The Myst series are based on the concept of being able to write 'ages' - worlds created by written word. I really have to go now, but my family has been reading a book together. Yet however many different ways we include it in our schedule, it never seems to get done. Any ideas, drop me a comment. Please. If not, do you have any reccomendations of books of your own? Age targets have to be from 11 to 14 years old. Thanks!

Justin who?

News Justin hope you like it!

WE ARE MOVING. To a massive house in a massive city with a massive garden in a massive neighborhood! Did I mention it's massive?  The yard we have now is NOT massive, something like 3ft by 3ft. The next garden has a massive patio where Dad says he might be able to get me a hammock or like a bench swing that I can read on during the summer. I was so excited I couldn't focus on my schoolwork AT ALL and I ended up finishing at around half 4. Hope you like my new pet monkey, he's further up the page. Bye!

 My baby brother called me by my name for the very first time today! He's not yet a year old, and I'm not quite sure if he actually linked my name with me, but even so, ha ha!! Yay! Hoorah! Yippee! Hooray! (Whichever way you want to put it!!) I'm thrilled!

 Well, as I said, GO HOMESCHOOLING!!! I have been homeschooled for 4 years now, and I have learned so much more. I used to go to school, and it was Boring!!! I learn so much more at home.

     In my opinion, schools are just crowd control for kids. The average pass mark in universities is 25%. Ever since I started home education my average pass mark is over 90%. It's a fact! I put this down to the fact that I have one-on-one tutoring, which is more strict, in a friendly atmosphere. (If you know what I mean). Plus I never miss out on anything - If I have sickness leave, I pick up where I left off. My parents say, and their friends, that I know more scripture than the average adult. Thats 'cos I study it as part of my learning structure.

So, in conclusion,

      You Can't Find ANY Fault with Homeschooling!!!

Okay, here goes. My very first blog entry. How shall I start? Ah, yes.

      If you have read my profile, you will know that I have not many friends, as of yet, and that I like reading,writing, drama.........The list is endless. If not, now would be a good time to get started.

      I have just turned 12, and keep telling everyone who asks that I'm still eleven. It drives me up the wall. I am very tall for my age, and let's leave it at that! Dad works at a pharmacy in Cambridge, which sounds a lot more impressive than it actually is. Mum works at home, teaching my #1 bro to read, looking after my other baby bro, and marking any tests that I generally come across. Off-line I am quite popular, and I hope you all get used to me pretty quick!
