Everyone, this blog is going to be fun for you to read, and for me to write.

First, for the past two weeks, I have been ending school at hours later than I should, sometimes seven or eight o'clock at night! I have tried to work faster, but for some reason, it just took me forever! My mom came up with the perfect solution! A schedule. When I first started homeschooling, I wanted to be able to do what I wanted when I wanted, but now that's not the case. My mom created a schedule so that at 9:00 I do this, at 9:15 I do this, and so on. That way, I know when I will finish school! Or at least an estimate. If I am not done with the subject at the right time, I have to bump it to the end of the day for 'homework'. So far, I’ve been finishing school at early afternoon hours, which gives me time to do what I want! It's great! This is my last subject today, and it's only 2:30 on the dot!

Another exciting thing is that my sister came last weekend! Together, we went to see the Broadway show The Lion King! It was fabulous! I can't even begin to describe how fascinating it was! The costumes were absolutely stunning, the set work was out-of-this-world, and the actors were extremely talented! There wasn't a minute during the play that I thought “that part could have been better.” I loved it! They had great effects as well. There were times actors were up in the air on wires or even swinging on 'vines' across the stage. Sometimes, when you are an actor, set worker, or even director, you watch plays differently from before you were in the theater. You look for things like “how does that work”, “how did they make the costume”, “where is the sound coming from”, and “that person is projecting their voice well”. That's how I watch plays now. I still enjoy watching them, but I don't only watch it for entertainment. This show provided great entertainment and a chance for me to figure out how they made the things. It was a wonderful experience.

This week, I've gotten much better at my handwriting. I used to have very sloppy cursive, but now some of the letters my mom mistook for the ones in the book!

Can you tell which ones are mine and which are the book's?

Well, I’ve had fun writing this blog, and I hope you've had fun reading it, but now I am going to sign off and enjoy my weekend! I hope you enjoy yours! Here we go.....till next time, BYE!!!!!!!!!!
