The Madness has begun. Well, ok, so it's not all that insane...yet. No piano or dance till next week.
Today was the best day of school yet as far as length goes. Monday and Tuesday I worked ahead on my reading books so that Thursday and Friday I won't have them. So M and T took till about 4:30 or 5, but today was only till 3:30. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have super short day...or I'll just read my SAT book all day...
This year I don't have all the annoying vocabulary and analogies books, but Home Ec has replaced them. Just in the workload, it's not annoying or anything.
Next Tuesday I'm starting piano. With my new teacher, Mr. S. He's quite nice, but all the same I'm a bit nervous because I haven't played piano all summer, except for sometimes in church. So my hands get tired more easily--my back does too, it's not used to sitting up straight for 45 minutes straight. It's really amazing though, I haven't done any exercises or scales all summer and my fingers still remember how to do them. Not as fast as I did them last year, but they remember. Only if I very strictly do not think about it.
Spanish: I don't think I remember as much as last year, but it's coming back quite nicely. It's fun, too. I'm watching National Treasure with Spanish subtitles right now. Hannah's started. And we're going to order Rosetta Stone. Actually we did, but there's a big hullabaloo because we're not totally sure it's legitimate. Well, we're quite sure it's not. Sheesh, I've been using "quite" way too much this post!!!
I think I'm going to take back what I said at the beginning of the last paragraph: I think I do remember as much as last year, at least as far as vocabulary goes. Verb tenses have slipped away, but just a little bit. It's all still there if I just dig a bit.
Same goes for math. I'm mostly reviewing what I learned at the end of last year. It's weird because it's not challenging, but if I did anything farther ahead I think I would be totally lost.
About Me
- Katie Y.
- I'm a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I'm done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals. I don't have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised, or rewarded. I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Spirit power. My face is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My mission is clear. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. And when He does come for His own, He'll have no problems recognizing me. My colors will be clear!
