Where is the time going?

Today I realized that I only have two weeks left of my biology course. It was surprising to me because I've really enjoyed this class. I'm really excited that I have another biology class after this one. I was really worried about this class, but I've enjoyed most of the content (minus the reproduction and genes).

We had guitar lessons today and had to run some errands. We got stuck in traffic today due to a wreck which basically ruined my morning. I was very excited to be home but then I had plenty of assignments due which meant no relaxing for me! I've been reading a lot of short stories in English and this week I'm studying Ernest Hemingway.

Whitney tried to talk me into buying High School Musical 3 for her, but I refused. She apparently sweet talked Megan into it because they left about an hour after we got home just for the movie. Megan spoils her way too much!

This morning I finished The Fellowship of the Rings so now I will be starting The Two Towers!!!

English & Games

This week has been filled with LOTS of reading and playing a Lewis and Clark game. For english this week, I have been reading books by Jack London and Stephen Crane. For the most part, the books are pretty good but I will probably never read these books again! I had already read The Red Badge of Courage and I thought it was pretty good and then I read The Fight, that was defintely weird. I then had to write on how it affected me....that was hard!

Last week we went to the university library to look at books. Whitney picked out a Lewis and Clark game and we played that on Sunday night. Ever since then, she can't seem to think about anything else. I was really surprised at how much she knew.....I think she knew more than me! That was scary!

In science this week, I am learning all about chromosomes and reproduction. What a blast!!!! Well, not really:).
