2. THE QUESTIONS
Let’s do this. *cocks gun and runs into battle yelling*
When鈥檚 your first day of school?
Uh… not quite sure, honestly. Why? Because my Mom has a doctor treatment coming up this month, in about a week, for her Lyme. It is a while away so we’ll be renting a cabin. We are praying hard and have faith that the treatment will go well, and God will heal her. And, that God’ll heal the woman who switched dates with us- Praise YHWH!
So I don’t know when we start school. But we’ll be doing some reading during the week we go to her appointment.
What do (and don鈥檛) you look forward to about entering the realm of the dead? Uh, I mean the learned?
HUSH, Kell. ;P I look forward to the history this year, honestly. I’m usually not thrilled about medieval history (*Gasp* How?! Since I have like two novels that are in this time and age?!), but this year, that’s the theme! But some of the books have some Norse mythology, and for the sake of my medieval novels, I am piqued. 馃榾
Homeschooled, public schooled, or private schooled?
HOMESCHOOLED FOR THE WIN! I have been homeschooled my whole life.
What grade are you going into? (if you鈥檙e okay sharing)
I’m going to be a sophomore this year- 10th grade. To be honest, I just now learned what those weird names were dedicated to: freshman, sophomore, junior, senior… heh, why can’t we just say the grades? 馃槈
How many more years聽of torture聽do you have to聽endure聽learn?
Uh… two, after this year, I guess. I don’t plan on going to college so.
What are your goals for this school year?
Do my best. As always, I try to set that goal of trying my best and having to accept that. Often, I’ll obsess over grades, at the same time thinking ‘it is what it is’… So, as always, my goals are to really hit the books and keep my heart on God.
What鈥檚 your favorite season to school in? Fall, winter, or spring?
We’ve actually never gone this far into fall without starting school… I don’t know the answer to this. But we usually start in fall. 馃檪
How is schooling going to effect your blogging?
Wait, blogging? Kidding, kidding. I’m going to assume it’ll be the same kind of time frame. If anything, I’ll schedule it for once in my life and stick to it.
What鈥檚 your favorite school subject?
Grammar/writing/literature. 聽I also like languages! I’m learning Spanish (have been for like, 2 yrs now) and will be learning ASL this year, too.
Your least favorite?
LOL! I know this is mainstream, but math intimidates me, haha. I try! But I don’t look forward to it a whole lot.
What subject are you best at?
Writing. Reading. Grammar. Science, too.
What subject are you worst at?
I’m not saying I’m awfully dumb at math but… yeah.
What extra-curricular activities are you planning this year (if any)?
Let’s see…. Spanish/ASL. P.E. which involves horseback riding and training (I’ll be training my foal Mini and my mare, Taloowa), arts, and probably something else I can’t think of right now haha.
How are you preparing for life/college this year (on a conscious level)?
Sorta, yeah. I don’t plan on going to college, but life wise, I’m always trying to prepare! As you grow, I’ve learned just recently, life is short. I mean, I’m already preparing to get my driver’s permit (AHH), and then before I know it, I’ll be 18, and then who knows? Life is precious and goes by so fast. I can’t ell the future… but right now, I am blessed to have a family, and the opportunity to learn. I’m going to make it count!
Do you play any sports in school?
Who, ME?! Kidding. I’m not athletic, but I enjoy playing baseball with my family. As far as school, like I said, this year includes horses for PE. =D
Is there any way that schooling is going to help your blogging endeavors? Or how has it helped your blogging skillz in the past?
Uhhh… I don’t know haha. I guess it will help as far as topics go? I could write some posts on school, reviews, or do photo shoots/videos on the horses whilst training. 馃槢
How much time a day is school going to take for you?
I HAVE NO IDEA AHHH. At least, not going into this year. Last year, I breezed through stuff super fast… so this year, Mom was like ‘Ang, I’m challenging you. This’ll take longer.” And I’m sorta excited and freaked at once lol. I’ll survive, but yeah, my days are gonne be tight!
Are you looking forward to seeing friends more often during the school year?
I don’t have friends I can see in real life…
Are you dreading or looking forward to the event (or did you, if it鈥檚 already happened)?
I SAY BRING IT I AM EXCITED! WHOO! Shiny new books and knowledge and paper and pens and hours to study and take notes and hey maybe cry a bit because of math and shriek because dissecting a frog is no fun but I LOVE SCHOOL!
What are you most looking forward to about school?
Learning. Knowledge. The books.
How are you planning to fit聽actual聽life in with your school schedule?
That ain’t gonna happen lol. Real answer: We’ve made a schedula and we gotta survive lol so we’ll make do. I still want to finish my novel Jump, edit Seek+betas, and do some art but Mom is wonderful: writing/editing will count as school. *faints from gratitude*
What are your overall thoughts on school?
It is a gift. Hard, sometimes, difficult, frustrating, tiring: but man, are we blessed to do it. I love being homeschooled because it really gives you the chance to grow with Jesus and learn news things and take your time with what you retain and all. Also, I like taking notes, studying, and reading so I’m a school nerd, I guess.
WAS THAT FUN OR WHAT?! And now, I get to tag some nerds.

Great post, Angela and OMW I NEARLY DIED LAUGHING AT THE GIFS. Brilliant, girl.
“blows whistle and waves flag”. Ready, set, GO! Here’s to a fabulous start to your school year!
Thanks, girl!! And yess I was like “this is the perfect time to use my GIFs’ ;D
Thanks for the tag, Angela! I totally agree – what is with all the weird names of grades once you enter ninth??? Everyone said “So you’re a freshman?” and I said “I guess so?” But I think I’m a sophomore now. 10th grade, right?
It’s just unnecessarily confusing. 馃槢
-Zane
Agreed! The last thing highschoolers need to remember is weird new names. 馃槢
Whoo! Thanks Angela. I saw this post in my email and I was like, “meh, it’s about school, maybe I should read it later” (ie never). But haha it was funny xD And thanks for tagging me!!!
Lol, well I’m glad you looked it over. ;D Hope you have fun if you do it!
OH my word! Your answers were awesome (and funny!).
Thanks so much for the tag girl! I can’t wait to answer these! 馃檪
-Emma-
=D Yay, you enjoyed the craziness!! And I can’t wait to see your answers. 馃榾
Amazing answers, Angela! You made me laugh aloud and my mom is trying to take a nap. *glares*
Seriously, though, she’s too far away to hear, but it did give me a moment of pause. 馃槢
Thanks for doing the tag!
LOL! Well sorry if I woke your Mother up. *tiptoes off into the abyss* ;D Thanks for tagging me, girl!!
Lots of fun GIFs! XD That’s so fun you’re learning ASL, I used to do that…
Lol, and yes, I totally agree about the grade thing! It took me until about last year or so to figure out the ‘freshman, sophomore, junior, senior’ thing XD #homeschooler.
Aw! Thank you for the tag!
=D *high five* And yes, ASL has been an interest but I just haven’t been able to get a book to do such, till now. Funny thing is, I used to do signing when I was super little, my Mom taught me some basics. 馃榾
I hope you enjoy it. =D
ASL!! *high five* I’m in my second year and I LOVE it!! 馃榾
Thanks for the tag! <3
Awesome job, Faith! 馃榾
