HomeschoolED

Friend: Wait, you’re homeschooled?
Me: Yeah?
Friend: Huh. You don’t seem to have any trouble in social situations.

This past year I’ve made a lot of new friends, and when school started I realized that most of them are public schooled, and don’t really know anything about homeschool except the stereotype of “socially awkward” and “they don’t do anything but play”.

Let’s just get this straight; not all people who are homeschooled are socially awkward! And typically, home schooled people are more advanced in school then the average public schooler, and we have more time to do things. And we’re just plain awesome.

For those friends, here is a wonderful video explaining the difference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQoSRfu5z_4

Operation Flat Belly Skinny Legs

Check out my new project over at Dancing Day by Day


This week I didn’t work on anything steadily. I didn’t start swimming, and now my swimming buddy has left the state. I didn’t exercise or stretch. Can I have a redo? Can I restart? I didn’t even take a picture of my splits last week! Okay, well, here’s week two.

Dance-wise, I think the main thing this week was stamina. I haven’t been able to keep up with any of my dance practices in Eagle River. Every five minutes I need a break because I can’t breathe and by the end of practice a sharp pain is shooting through my right shoulder. I haven’t had trouble keeping up until about two weeks ago. Does anybody know why that is? Answers are mucho appreciated.


Life-wise, I just got some amazing new purple boots, new clothes from Helen, and I learned how to tie a tie (thanks to Mason). Go me!


Don’t judge too harshly, my splits really kind of suck, not to mention the fact that I didn’t stretch at all before taking these pictures.
Dance starts tomorrow; nervous? ME? Whatchutalkinbout? Heh…heh….
And you know...I somehow ended up losing my water bottle O.o

See ya'll next Sunday!
