So, It's the week of mid-terms, wild and crazyness going on everywhere. What's even crazier is that this is my last week of Kinnick. That's right, Come Thursday, I'm back to being homeschooled. It was a really hard decision, though. Whether to be a Kinnick Red-Devil or a Homechooler... that doesn't have a mascot... Anyway, it was hard because there are an equal amount of plus(s) and minus(s) to each way of schooling. I figure, the 'bigger' advantages are toward homeschooling... Here, I'll show you a list.
Homeschooling advantages:
- school will take a shorter amount of time each day, I can accomplish more at once.
- I'll have more time to do other things, like practicing soccer, cooking, or working out.
- I can go places while other people are in school
- I can make money for shorebreak more easily than if I were in school.
- more sleep
- more sleep
- more sleep
Advantages to Public schooling:
- I'm around my friends more
- If I don't understand something, a teacher is right there.
- I get credit for my work
- I'm more involved than I am in homeschool
- I can be influenced by others
- I can influence others.
Do you see my dilema? I'm very confused too. Through all this, I'm wondering what God's plan is for me. I thought I knew what was going on, but he said 'No, Caitlin, you cannot possibly know what my plans are for you'. You're probably wondering what the ham sandwhich I'm talking about...
Okay, about 3 weeks ago (wow, it doesn't seem like that much time has passed) we got word that we were moving in February. It was official. We were 100 % sure that we were moving. We already started to sell our cars, plan our pack-out date, decide which clothes we want with us, which to pack, transferring out of school...(etc) THEN, we got word that it was all a mistake, we're really moving in June. I never decided whether it was good or bad news... it was bittersweet... one of those "gray areas"... But, I'm trying to be excited about it :) I can go to ShOrE bReAk now, I can play soccer now. It's just... all good. I trust that God knows what He's doing.
Things to pray for:
- Mid-terms...especially the Biology Exam
- Reduction of STRESS
- Homeschool
- Guidance :)
Well, It's 10:07.... ONEWAY IS TOMORROW (that's youthgroup, for those of you who were wondering :]) ... I'm headed to bed.
Hasta La Pasta, mi Amigos!
