Finished history. Going to eat lunch!

Some things never change

Joining to do history class

Jumping in on this conversation, hehehe…

I’m going to prom this year!! But not a homeschool one. I’m a sophomore, and my school (a hybrid/private school) lets all high schoolers go since our high school isn’t as big as a public school, lol. I’m so excited!!

Also… if any of y’all go to a homeschool pr…[Read more]

Or I’ll take something important to the character from them. (Like Toothless’s tail fin.)

You just triggered my repressed obsession for HTTYD and I’m not complaining. The Vikings are many things, but they are not ableist, and it’s so well done. 😂

@theducktator

Lolol!!

@elishavet-pidyon

Ooh, great snippets!! 🥺

Oh, we dissected a fetal pig (I was also out that week hehe 🤭) in Challenge 2, and my teacher thought it was so funny that we’d read Animal Farm a week before. 🤢

@theducktator

Maybe if/when you move to Indiana, we’ll end up at a homeschool prom together. I will hopefully go to a prom next year.

That would be so cool! I could totally see that happening if we did move there. I don’t really know what we’re doing, though. My parents are also considering another state (we’re waiting to see if we can get a renta…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yeah. I have an even split of disabilities caused during the stories and before. So many of them have to do with mobility. And then I realized, ‘oh duh, I’m just writing what I know.’ XD

@theducktator

Or combine option A and option B so some characters die, some are permanently wounded, but they did it for a good trade, and so ultimately accept it as a win-win. I love inflicted-and-permanent disability, it’s such a useful trope. (Plus it adds some much-needed disability rep.)

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah, good. I was also mildly bamboozled for a minute. XD

@theducktator

It is a very big book! And I don’t think we made anything too crazy in chemistry, but there were mild chemical reactions, and I dissected a pregnant shark. Maybe that’s irregular, though. Was that in Challenge 2…? 🤔

Hehehehe the teacher will never know… &#x1f60…

@hybridlore

Yeah, it was a little weird jumping in mid-year, but I’m glad I did.

Good! It can be rough jumping from one thing to another.

That seems like a given, but I don’t think I’ve ever went through an entire history of America in order—more like isolated events and time periods.

Yeah, same, up until that point. And for me, we focused more on…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I have a classmate who started just like that.

Oh, cool! Yeah, it was a little weird jumping in mid-year, but I’m glad I did.

History is fun! I like Challenge 4’s history best, but it was cool to learn about all the unfamiliar American events.

Yeah! I really liked that the book we used went through everything in chronological ord…[Read more]

I’ve only done this year and the last half of Challenge 2

I have a classmate who started just like that.

I also enjoyed American history and Shakespeare (somewhat.)

@whalekeeper

I’ve only done this year and the last half of Challenge 2, but I preferred this one by a lot. Music theory and chemistry was pretty fun, and I also enjoyed American history and Shakespeare (somewhat.)

What are your speeches about?

Umm… good question. One of them is a philosophy lecture, but I’m not really sure what to do for that…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Also, just out of curiosity… are you going to a homeschool prom in the next three weeks or so? I know you’re closer to me than most, and it’s always fun to check.

@hybridore

Oh yes. I’m pretty happy with the length requirements because they don’t expect too much, while also allowing for some flexibility. My friend, who has a bunch of extracurricular assignments, is writing 50 pages. I would have been down for that (because my topic is complicated), but my tutor only prepared us one semester in adv…[Read more]

I can only contribute with this, which is immediately what comes to mind. XD
