It happened! School started! I wasn't really looking forward to it at first (for totally legit reasons), but I've actually really enjoyed it so far. Some friends of mine just started this year, so expect to see some new people in here often. :P My general policy is to use initials for those under 18, and names for those over, unless they've asked me to do otherwise. I'm using 1st and last initials for most people, except for C, who I've been calling that long enough that it would be confusing to switch now.
Tuesday!
1. I got up at 6am (ugh), took a shower, and got dressed and ready. I grabbed a granola bar to eat later (I get nausous when I try to eat that early in the morning.), and caught the bus to WCC. I was there early, so I got some tea from the Kulshan coffee cart, and then waited until I could go to my math class.
2. Math went well. It was mostly just the syllabus day. Almost the entire 50 minutes was spent talking about the schedule, grading, books, etc.
3. I had an hour off, during which I met up with JC (it was his first day at WCC), and helped him find his classroom. I then hung out for a while before heading to philisophy.
4. My Intro to Religions class was also good. I think our teacher is sorta crazy, but I like him. He seems tough, but I think overall it'll be an easy class. The grade is based off of take-home reading quizes and a few (3 or 4?) essays, two of which are more like outlines.
5. I headed to meet up with people in Syre. We hung out in the Interculteral Center for a while before moving to a bench down the hall where C and I spent a ton of time last spring. JC and HW were there, plus C and I.
6. JC and C both headed to classes, then HW and I wandered around for a while. We checked out the new gym (which is super fancy), and then I took the bus to Barkely.
7. My mom picked me up and took me to an appointment I had. After that, we headed for my dad's, where we had steak for dinner.
8. I came home, watched Lost, took a shower, read The Time Traveler's Wife, and went to bed, totally exhausted.
Wednesday!
1. Got up a little later (showering at night gives me that ability), around 6:20, then got ready and took the bus to school. I got to school even earlier (I took the 7:20 bus today, while I took the 7:35 yesterday), and sat around tiredly for a while.
2. Went to Math class. After that, I ran into Ken at the bookstore while I was buying pens. I then got tea at the cafeteria, and hung out with Lydia for an hour before Philosophy.
3. Philosphy consisted of watching a movie about this guy named Thomas Berry who believed that the age of humans is ending, and the age of ecological reconstruction must neccessarily begin, and that this is in part because of the Judeo-Christian tradition. It's complicated. You can google him if you want to actually know more about it.
4. Directly after that I had my first German class. It was a little weird, since I've never taken a foreign language class before, but it was fun. I think I'll like that class.
5. After class, I met up with C and JC and talked for a while til C had to go to class. I hung out with JC for a while and downloaded Hearthstone (which took 35 minutes to download on the school wifi).
6. JC left for parkday, and I read my philosphy textbook for a while til C's math class ended. At that point, I briefly saw him (I yelled at him down the hallway) and then Jake, who I've known since last year, and who is also in C's math class, came over to where I was sitting and hung out with me for a few hours. We chatted about our parent's divorces, dating, friends, our futures, etc. Normal stuff.
7. At four, I went to a WWU personal statement writing workshop. It was aimed mostly at transfer students, so a lot of it wasn't applicable to me, but there was some useful stuff.
8. Mom and Isabelle picked me up and we went home and ate tacos. I took a shower and did some math reading, then watched Lost, read The Time Traveler's Wife, and went to bed.
At the time of writing, not all of those things have happened yet, but it seems unlikely that they will not. If things changed, you will be duly notified. :P

August 30 - September 5, 2015
Sunday, August 30th
Sunday morning, we woke up and there was power! Yay! Mom tried to clean up the tree debris a bit, then we went to pick up my friend HW. Mom dropped us both off at NV's house. For a few hours, we played some games (including The Resistence!) with N and his brother and his brother's friends. Then the three of us hung out for a while and chatted about stuff. I love hanging out with them, but there were a few moments when I distinctly noticed the fact that I was the only girl there. It doesn't bother me to hang out with boys all the time, and most of my closest friends are boys, but there are rare moments where I feel a little out of place.
Carolyn picked H and I up and dropped me at the house where I was babysitting. For the next three hours, I played with the kids, then the dad dropped me off at my house. When I got there, Lydia was there! The Winslows still didn't have power, so she was staying at our house.
Monday, August 31st
I got up and didn't do much for most of the morning. I did some random chores around the house, read, played some games on the computer. Lydia and I went to the library to volunteer at 3. When we were done there, we walked downtown to get drinks at Cafe Adagio, then took a bus back to Haggen, where mom picked us up. Because the Winslows still were out of power, Lydia stayed another night.
Tuesday, September 1st
Again, a pretty boring day. Lydia left in the early afternoon.
Wednesday, September 2nd
The morning was pretty slow. I went to park day, where there was a torrential rain storm, thunder, and lightening. That was exciting.
Thursday, September 3rd
The morning was again rather quiet. In the afternoon, we went to our dad's house for dinner. We had some left over cake, since it was our step-brother's birthday on Wednesday.
Friday, September 4th
We spent the morning cleaning up all the debris from the tree. We hauled a bunch of stuff in our neighbor's trailer to a place the city had set up for people to dump storm debris. We went to Boomer's for lunch, then came home to do stuff around the house. Mom and I went to WCC to buy books before realizing they aren't open on Fridays in the summer (augh!). None of us were at all hungry for dinner, so we just ate popcorn while watching Lost.
Saturday, September 5th
The guy who was doing our carpet came back to finish. I was at YARC, where we had pizza and cake, because it's our one year anniversary! Mom couldn't come pick me up til the carpet guy left, so I had to wait for another hour and a half after the meeting ended. On the bright side, I read 135 pages of the book I got! It's super fantastic.

Saturday August 26, 2015 {WIND}
1. Saturday morning, Isabelle and Mom left for the farmer's market right after I got up. Isabelle was going to sell her stuffed dogs.
2. After they left, I didn't do too much. I listened to music, read, and hung out for a while.
3. Throughout all of this, it was really, really windy. It was warm, probably about 70, but really windy. The power kept flickering on and off all morning, and at about noon, it went out for good.
4. We have these trees behind out house that are very tall, and that sway a lot when it's windy. Two years ago, we had one of them fall when we were gone (we were in Florida at the time), but it fell at such an angle that it didn't come near the house.
5. Today, a little before 1pm, mom called to say that they had closed the market early because the wind was getting too dangerous, and were sending everyone home. A few minutes after that, one of the trees in the back fell straight at the house. Luckily, it didn't break at the roots, but snapped halfway up the trunk, and also luckily, it was a very flexible but not too heavy tree.
6. I was standing in the kitchen watching as it fell into the back windows of our house, and, amazingly, did not beak through, but instead slid onto the ground. It was still leaning against the house, but did no major damage.
7. There was lots of commotion for a little while as neighbors ran over and looked around and all decided that everything was fine.
8. After mom got home, we did stuff around the house for a while, then went to Haggen to eat dinner, and then went to my dad's house, since he still had power, to change our phones.
9. We went back home,played some card games, read The Time Traveler's Wife, and went to bed.

Thursday August 27, 2015 {Larrabee}
1. Mom left for work, and then I didn't do much for a while, then showered and got dressed.
2. Isabelle left to volunteer with the cats, and I baked some cookies. (gluten free oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies).
3. I also went through the books that got damaged with the mold and water stuff, and made a list. I'm posting it in parts on my other blog, part one went up today!
4. Julie picked us up and (after picking up a few boys from another house) we headed to Larrabee state park. I hadn't been there at all this summer, and the weather was great, so it was really nice down there.
5. We wandered around the beach, looked at crabs, pushed each other off of logs, and ate lots of popcorn and cookies and grapes. Julie took a ton of really great pictures of us, and we did lots of poses on the logs.
6. We dropped the three boys off at Cosmic Comics for some Magic thing, and then Isabelle and I got dropped off at our dad's house.
7. We had dinner there (steak) and then went to Pure Bliss Deserts downtown. I got Chocolate Salted Caramel, which is definitely my favorite of their cakes.
8. We went home, watched Lost (we're re-watching it with Isabelle now. It's mom's 4th time, my 2nd, Isabelle's 1st), read The Time Traveler's Wife, and went to bed.
Today felt like the last hurrah of summer. The weather is supposed to be getting cold and rainy for a while, which is good in a lot of ways (we really need this rain!) but it's also sad. I like the dry, warm weather. Plus, with mom back at work, and rain coming, it really feels like the end of the summer.

July 14-20 {Another Catchup post}
This is becoming a theme lately... Hopefully it won't continue too long. Here is what I did this week:
Tuesday 7/14
We had homeschool academy week 2 this day. Grace and I taught Geology together, then Spencer did math, Grace did Improv, and I did Irish dance. I took or taught all the classes this week, which was honestly a little too long of a day. Next week I might take a break for a while in the middle somewhere.
Wednesday 7/15
On Wednesday, I took the math placement test at Whatcom. I didn't end up getting into Precalc, which means I have to take Math 99 (intermediate algebra) in the fall. It's kind of disappointing, because we have to pay for 99 because it's below college level, but it is what it is. After I took the test, we went blueberry picking with Carolyn, and then went to park day.
Thursday 7/16
In the morning, we went to WCC to change my schedule. As a Running Start student, I can't register online like other students can. RS students have to go into see a RS advisor to register and to make schedule changes. To fit Math 99 in, I ended up having to drop all three classes I was in, and add three totally different ones. Now, I'm taking Intermediate Algebra (Math 99), Introduction to World Religions (Philosophy 140), and German I (German 121). In the afternoon, we were at our dad's house for dinner.
Friday 7/17
We didn't to much in the morning. In the afternoon, Isabelle went to a friend's house, and Mom and I watched Lost.
Saturday 7/18
Another relatively boring day. Went to the grocery store, watched Lost, and that was about it.
Sunday 7/19
We didn't do much in the morning again, but in the afternoon, we went blueberry picking again, this time with another set of friends.
Monday 7/20
I volunteered at the library in the afternoon, and then went to Chocolate Necessities and then to Irish dance. Gelato of the week: Lemon and Green Apple.

July 6-12 {Catch up!}
Monday
I went to the library to volunteer, to Chocolate Necessesites, and then to Irish Dance. It was the first day of the summer session. Gelato flavors of the week: chocolate, strawberry, and lemon. We've had a number of wildfires in the area, and early this week, the smoke was really bad. Monday in particular, I could really feel it effecting my breathing. It looked like we had full cloud cover Monday and Tuesday, but really it was all smoke!
Tuesday
This was the first day of Homeschool Academy classes! I got there around 1:30 and helped Spencer set up before his math class, which went very well! I then taught a literary analysis class in which we dissected the song American Pie, and then I had an Irish dance class. The dance class was a little underwhelming, but the rest went quite well!
Wednesday
I taught a Latin class and we did some Harry Potter translating, and then we went to parkday in Lynden. Grace and I did some planning for our Geology class we're teaching and then we hung out for a while with Hailey.
Thursday
Thursday was pretty quiet. I mostly did schoolwork that needed doing and read, and played a bit of Don't Starve. That game is really fun, but also endlessly frustrating. My best score so far is 17 days, and in that last one I was killed on Day 17 by a spider I was trying to kill because I had forgotten to put on my armor. Gah. If you don't know what I'm talking about, google "Don't Starve." It's pretty great. Mom went out for dinner with friends, and Isabelle and I made a pizza, and hung out.
Friday
Another low-key day of school, reading, and such. Mom, Isabelle, and I took a walk around after dinner.
Saturday
I had a YARC meeting in the morning. It was another very quiet meeting, and another where all (three) of our boys were gone! That makes two in a row. In the evening, I babysat some kids, and ended up watching the neighbor kids for part of it as well, making for 5 kids under 10!
Sunday
It was my dad's birthday, so we went to breakfast with him and my stepmom. When we got back, we headed to my grandmother's house for her 80th birthday. Both my aunts and all my cousins were there, and we had lunch/dinner, and hung out for the day, which was fun. Two of my cousins are going to college in the fall, and one is going to the University of Edinburgh. She'll be home for Christmas, but we probably won't see her before then and it was weird to realize that the next time we'll see her, she'll have been living in Scotland for a few months already!

Thursday, May 21, 2015 {Harry Potter in Latin}
1. Got up around 6:45, and got ready for the day.
2. Spent my morning doing various schooly things, and planning out the day's Latin lesson.
3. Walked two blocks to Gloria's house for Latin. We did some fun activities that included reading the first Harry Potter book aloud in Latin.
4. I had an idea about creating a Harry Potter Latin Summer Book Club (still working on the name :P), and emailed people who I thought might be interested by such an idea.
5. Did some more things that were boringly academic in nature, then went to my dad's house.
6. Researched various smartphones for a while, and made a nice chart of what they cost from different places.
7. I realized that my SAT scores were up on the College Board website, so I went to check those. My total was a 1800, which I was pretty happy with, though I wish I had done better on the math. Interestingly, my ACT scores are actually quite a bit better than the SAT scores.
8. Isabelle and I had dinner with my dad and Beth, then came back home.
9. I discussed college stuff with my mom for a while, watched Doctor Who, read Jane Eyre, and went to bed.

Monday, May 11, 2015 {Small Town}
1. Got up at 6am, and got ready for the day. Left the house to catch the bus at 7:20, and got to school around 7:45.
2. Geology. Today's topic was glaciers and that sort of stuff. It was actually pretty fun because a lot of it was talking about local stuff. Mt. Baker turns out to be a totally interesting place when it comes to this kind of stuff.
3. After class, C. went to register for fall classes, so I hung out with L. for a while. After C. came back, we talked about random stuff for a while, including local drama, gummy candies, minigolf, what classes we're taking in the fall, and various other things.
4. English. We had to get started on our research papers today, which we'll be working on for the remainder of the quarter. I am writing about homeschooled students' preparedness for college and the world beyond, which I think should be a fun and pertinent subject. When we shared our topic ideas with the class, everyone seemed to think I was sort of crazy, but that's okay. I don't mind being the crazy one who writes about homeschooling as long as I get a good grade.
5. After that, C. played minigolf on my ipod for a while because the iOS version has more features than the Android one. He left for class, and I worked on homework for a little while, and wrote up yesterday's blog post.
6. I caught the bus to the library, and volunteered there for an hour, cleaning toys, books, and glue sticks (almost the weirdest thing I've done in the four years I've been there).
7. Went to Chocolate Necessities w/ Julie and the boys. Gelato of the week: chocolate, red orange, and pink grapefruit. I did some Geology homework, and ran into my friend Devon from many years back, plus Dad and Beth stopped by as well. Small town...
8. Irish dance. We had an hour of class, and then a little over an hour of rehearsal for an upcoming performance.
9. Came home, ate some dinner, texted a little with some friends, wrote this, read Jane Eyre, went to bed.
I'll post about tomorrow for sure. Today's my last day being 16!

Thursday, April 30, 2015 {Latin}
1. I got up around 6:45 and got ready for the day.
2. I spent most of the earlier part of the morning focused on making a plan for Latin. Around 10, Lisa called to say I. wouldn't be at Latin. I made a few more quick calls to make sure that H. would be there, and that Gloria was fine with us using her house as a classroom.
3. After finishing up the Latin prep, I read and notated an essay of a classmate from my English class which I am doing a peer review of. I ate some watermelon while doing this. Also did some history stuff.
4. I walked to Gloria's for Latin. With one student missing, it was a bit of a different experience, but I think it went well, and we covered everything I wanted to in the time allotted.
5. I got a ride home from Connie, and then ate lentil soup while working on my peer review letter.
6. My dad came to take us to his house. Once there, I finished the peer review letter and submitted it online, then switched to Geology. I researched volcanoes for a while for an essay I have to write, but burned out pretty quickly. I finished a post lab worksheet, then did a bit of work on a lab on plate tectonics, and read a bit about metamorphic rocks in my textbook. I am a bit behind on reading, but should be able to catch up pretty easily this weekend.
7. I did unimportant internet things for a while, like checking DeviantArt which I really need to do more often, and briefly discussing the new CGP Grey video and the new Hello Internet episode with H.
8. As burned out and tired as I was, I persevered and worked on math prep for the SAT a bit. Not sure how useful it was since I was having a really hard time paying attention, but since the test is on Saturday, it seems like a good idea to at least try to be prepared.
9. Isabelle and I ate dinner with Dad, Beth, and Aidan (my stepmom and stepbrother), then went to Menchies.
10. Came home and read the peer review letter that my classmate wrote for me. I think he had some good suggestions, and I will definitely take what he said into account as I go about revising this essay.
11. Cleaned the house a bit for current affairs tomorrow. I thought about trying to do some more school stuff, but my mental exhaustion won out and nothing productive was done.
12. Watched Doctor Who, puttered around a little on the internet, read Jane Eyre and went to bed.

9. Isabelle and I ate dinner with Dad, Beth, and Aidan (my stepmom and stepbrother), then went to Menchies.
10. Came home and read the peer review letter that my classmate wrote for me. I think he had some good suggestions, and I will definitely take what he said into account as I go about revising this essay.

12. Watched Doctor Who, puttered around a little on the internet, read Jane Eyre and went to bed.
