Ooo! Mystery!!

Rory

Rory laughed in a choked sort of  way. “Everything. I don’t have good memories, Leo.” He paused. “Well… I guess I wouldn’t want to forget the church… or you… or holding Quincy…” his voice trailed away. He lifted his shoulders several times. Images flickered through his mind. The child under the bed… tiny hands shie…[Read more]

@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

About one revolution of the world around the sun older, so my ancient birch-ness is less alarmed. 😂🌳

T’was a shocking moment of confusion. XD

@whalekeeper

Thank you! That’s been the aim recently. 😁

@loopylin

Hooray!

*cackles mischievously* That is good to hear, very good. I’m curious too. 😉

@freed_and_redeemed

Aw, thanks. 😀

Am I that mean to them? O.O XD

@hybridlore

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.)

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

Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m close enough to you t…

Are…… What?

Y’all are still in Highschool? Or are you at a university already? Googles if Classical Conversations is just for K-12.

I feel like Inglor.

Very nosy, no one has to answer. Just also hilarious. I just had a 1/4 life crisis is all. XD

Fantastic to see this thread resurrected. I’ll try to sprint later today or tomorrow.

@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

@hybridlore

20 pages total, 14 already written, and I’m probably going to go a couple pages over that limit. 😂

Are you a sophomore or junior?

@hybridlore

It’s complicated for me, because I use a snowflake method of constantly expanding my outline until it is a paper. I’m planning to hit 20 pages and I have a little less than two weeks to do so. It’s fun, though.

@theducktator

Very true. That first one… XD My outline is ten+ pages but some of it is just hopeless

Back to writing at :05

@theducktator

I feel great! *eye twitches*

@koshka

Leo’s voice reached out, grounding Rory in the present. He followed the older boy out into the hall. His legs felt shaky, and he whipped his sweaty palms against his pants. He tried to shake away the memory but it still clung to him, moving the images in his mind with reality. Rory forced himself to focus. Leo was real, this hall was r…[Read more]

Pausing for now to get some ice cream for my headache! Not sure if that is medically accurate, but whatever. XD

😛

@koshka

Leo is amazing.

Hey, Rory. It’s alright. You gave me a bit of a scare there. Thought you’d just got burned. But…”

This just feels so natural! I can literally hear his voice in my head!

Rory

Rory could feel a tremor fighting to shake him, but he forced it to keep still. Leo’s calm voice reached out, pulling him back to the world h…[Read more]
