Five Lessons In, Only 165 More To Go!

School started for me on September 8, last Tuesday. I managed to survive that wonderful experience that is the first week of school, and thought, "Why not share the school experience I am having with everyone else?" 


 Actually, school is not that bad, yet. I am in 11th grade this year, so it definitely is not going to be as easy as that peach pie we made the other day, but, I am not taking any super hard courses at least. The classes I am taking this year are: Bible (Jesus and His Followers 1st semester and then Life Management 2nd semester), Business Math, Blogging (for dummies), Read More...

English [Grammar, American Literature and Vocabulary-Spelling-Poetry V], United States History Heritage of Freedom, and Keyboarding/Document Processing. The Bible class and History class are taught by one of our favorite teachers, Pastor McBride. He definitely has strict expectations, but is very funny, and continuously makes class interesting with jokes and illustrations. Mom teaches my blogging class, reading through the book and writing down assignments for me. My business math teacher is the same as last year, Mr. Dickson. He teaches Consumer Math, my math class last year. My English teacher is Mrs. Baker. My brothers and I have never had her before, and I guess she is all right.  All in all, I guess school will be alright this year. At least I'm not taking Precalculus or Physics like my brother, August, is. He said on Friday that he came close to failing his first quiz in pre-Cal. And he's the one who asked to take the class!

So, what are/were your favorite classes in school? What class(es) did you absolutely hate?

    My favorite classes in school were English and Spanish. As far as those that I did not enjoy: anything math or science related! :)

      I'm with you on not liking math, but the only part of language I really like is Literature reading. ;-)

    I loved English Literature but, the grammar part...not so much. I loved Math right up till I had to take Algebra. I think my absolute favorite was Chorus....I do love to sing.

The Great Red Dragon of Revelation 12

Sorry this post is a little late! I wanted this project to be done last Sunday, but I kept noticing details that could be added to make it a little better. This post might seem a little random, but it helped me to practice the drawing skills and techniques that I know. This includes: drawing dragon heads, adding small details to half-finished ideas, and adding shading. The idea for this design came from my Mom, when she saw me drawing dragon head designs and challenged me to draw the seven-headed dragon from Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." My initial idea looked like this: Click to enlarge. I realized that this wouldn't work, for my drawing skills at least, so I changed the design to this: Click to enlarge. I wanted a large center head that captured attention, so I worked on that next: Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge. F...

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with sn...

CBP Prohibited and Restricted Items

Recently we went to a Back to School festival near to us. At the event, they had a car show, snacks, booths for school children to get supplies , and also booths from the local police and border protection agencies. One of the booths, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, had a variety of unique items on display, including gem-covered beetles, vials of weevils in food products, leather from a sea turtle and elephant, and a bird claw. The officer on the right talked about all the items on display. Click to enlarge. What do all these items have in common? Well, we learned from one of the officers at the booth that these were all illegal items to try to bring over the border. Lets start with the gem-covered beetle. This is not the beetle the officer had on display, but simply an example. While this may look like a harmless product, it is actually quite cruel. That is because the beetle is captured while still alive and has the jewels pasted to its back before being put on sa...
