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

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]

@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

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.

@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]

@whalekeeper

Twenty isn’t too bad! I know, it’s a long paper, but I was thinking senior thesis might have to be longer. Sounds like you’re on track!

I’m a junior, in Challenge 3. We’re doing a Hamlet Mock Trial, and I have two speeches for the end of the year, but besides that not too much more work.

@whalekeeper

Gotcha. Twenty more pages, or just twenty pages total?

@theducktator

Praying!

I’m not really a wait-for-the-last-day-possible kind of person. More wait-for-the-last-several-days type.

My sister, however, will wait until the last day because it’s when she’s most motivated. XD

@whalekeeper

Lol!

CC: In order to complete this project well, you need to manage your time over the course of several weeks.

Me: Waits until the last week to start. 😇

Leo

Mind wiping tech? Sure he’d heard of it. But had he ever wished it be used on him…

Green eyes. Dark, and too often full of pain she couldn’t hide, but happy because she’d had another day to tell him it was going to be okay.

“No, or not anymore. I have wished many times that I could go back and do things, say things,…[Read more]

@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]

@whalekeeper

Okay, joining now!

@koshka

Awesome! 😁

@hybridlore

Ah. 10:30 EST, so 9:30 Cent. I should be able to join, Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.

@theducktator

(It was actually Mrs. Peacock! Shh… 🤣)

@ellette-giselle

Yay! *Grins like I just got handed a cream puff*

Leo

Wouldn’t let it happen? Leo swallowed and shook his head.

“No. Kid. There’s nothing to be sorry for.” Leo stepped closer to put his arm around Rory’s shoulders. He knew this wasn’t a matter of if the boy would have these nightmares, but when. “Don’t worry about these pickles…[Read more]

@loopylin

Totally understand, I’m sorry about the early time!

@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]
