Fire
Sorry that I haven't written in SUCH a long time. I've just been so busy that I have not had any spare time. About a week ago I went on vacation to California. Boy, was it warm there! When I arrived at Palm Springs, the temperature was 114 degrees F. Where I'm from, 90 degree weather is considered hot (Luckily I'm one of those girls who loves the sun). I spent ten days in Yucca Valley and had a lot of fun. There, I managed to spot blue-and-green lizards, dung beetles, and strong scented bushes.
I'm not sure if you have heard about the fire in California, but I was there during the fire. We were so close to having to evacuate, that we started packing our items. Fortunately, we didn't need to evacuate. That was an experience of a lifetime (especially since it happened during my vacation)!
Please comment and share any scary instances that you've been through.

My so-called perfect life
Every thing is so crystal clear for me right now! ( yeah right) I have so many things going on that I don't know where to start. Here is a list of things:
volunteering at the hospital.
1. It takes up 5 hours a day per every day that I volunteer (which is 2 days a week every other week).
2. Sometimes I don't feel up to it.
3. The smells nauseate me.
piano practice
1. It takes up 45 minutes-1 hour eavery day.
2. After playing for about 6 years, it gets kind of tiring.
3. You have to make a commitment to play every day and be ready for piano concerts, recitals,etc.
Taking care of my dog
1. Taking her out every 4-5 hours.
2. Remembering to fill her water and food bowl.
3. Training her new tricks or making sure she doesn't forget the old ones.
Taking care of my sister
1. Helping her with her homework which she PERIODICALLY needs help with.
2. Always having to clean up after her.
As some of you know, I am taking honors courses that are correspondance. My teacher helps me as much as she can, but sometimes I wish that I could go back to MCA. Even going to co-op (I'll talk about that soon), and having my teacher "jazzing up" my classes, still doesn't give me the satisfaction of going to a "real school". I understand that everyone has had to make sacrifices, and I'm thankful for that, but I too, have had to make sacrifices. Such as not seeing my friends on an everyday basis or not having someone my own age to hang out with. I also don't have the extra cirricular activities such as basketball or, my favorite, theatrical performances (in other words-plays).

UNTITLED
Dear Blog,
Today I was looking through my essay scores, hoping to find a grade of perfection. Well, first I looked through my Literature scores, my American Civics scores, and last, but not least, my Biology scores. Before I tell you about the result of my grades, I should probably tell you that these three subjects are my favorite subjects. Because they were my favorite subjects, I decided to take them as honors courses. Honors Courses are almost the same thing as Advanced Placement courses, but in Honors courses there are more essays and writing involved. Anyway, back to my story. As I was looking through Literature and American Civics I liked and accepted the scores my teachers had given me. Saving the best for last, I clicked on the link that would connect me to my given score. The seconds felt like minutes as I waited impatiently to find the results. As my eyes glimpsed at the screen and I saw my score, I felt like I was paralyzed. Seriously! I felt like I couldn't move any part of my body unless forced. I gazed on the computer screen until I had to blink. I slowly exited out of the web page and just sat there. I felt a huge lump at the back of my throat and a gigantic knot forming in my stomach. I almost blinked back tears as I realized the grade I had seen. An F. A big fat old F! A 58% ! As this has never happened before, I was not yet accustomed to seeing such a despicable grade. I had no clue or idea how I would tell my parents. In about 5 minutes I went on to doing Algebra 2. I do not know if either I could just not understand Algebra 2 or that I was in serious shock, but it felt like my brain did not want to function with me. After Algebra 2, I prepared lunch for my sister and I, and sat down to eat. Thankful that my teacher hadn't noticed, I was more quiet than usual (or it seemed like it). The food in my mouth tasted like dust as I ate it piece by piece.
As I wrote this entry, I realized how important it was for me to put my thoughts and feelings into this piece of literature. Looking back into it, I will look through the troubles and hardships that I went through along with the happiness and the joyfullness.

FIRST
Dear Blog,
Today was the first official day that I started homeschool. Since I have done homeschool in the past (4th-6th grade), it wasn't that new to me. The only weird thing was using Keystone Highschool. I'm not accustomed to using it yet, but I'll get there. Anyway, after 6th grade, my parents let me go to a private school. After three years there, my parents finally decided to put me into homeschool, again. A month before my first day of school, I was dreading the thought to go back to homeschool. I wanted to go back to my friends, my teachers, and go back to the halls that I was so familiar with. But as I slowly thought about it, it didn't sound half bad. I was right. I decided to embrace the moment and not be pessimistic about it. The day actually went pretty good. I'm looking forward for tomorrow and the next days ahead.
