It really seems so unreal that I am going to school this year. I mean it all just seems not real. I have been homeschooled almost all my life and now I'm going to school....(freaking out). Truthfully, I don't want to go to school. Reasons why:
1) I know absolutely nobody in my class. I have a friend that is in the eighth grade but I still know nobody in my class. I am shy, around people I do not know.
2) I will have to be gone for five days a week from 8:15-3:15. I am so used to being home all the time. And plus I have to sit and learn for seven hours...wow!! That is a lot to me because usually I can get up and get my school done within a few hours but this take seven hours.
3) I will defiantly miss my homeschool friends. Some of my homeschool friends I have grown up with and now I feel like I am leaving them behind while I go to school.
I dont want this to sound like complaining because I am willing to go to school and it was my choice and I chose to go. I also have some reasons why I want to go to school:
1) My amazing and awesome God has called me to reach out to new people and meet more friends. I have been asking and asking God to give me and opportunity to meet new people and a way to reach out to people and now that he gives me one, there is no way I could pass it up. I need to get out of my comfort zone and shine a light into the world and this is a perfect opportunity.
2) The structure there is going to help me amazingly because I am not a self-motivated person. I take forever to get my school done just because I get distracted way to easily. So, now if I know that it has to be brought back to school the next day I will actually get it done.
3) Its a new adventure for me. I'm always looking to try something new and now that I get the chance I'm going to take it!
So, half of me is not excited and the other half is bouncing off the walls excited. And I have learned that recently I have let me not so excited part of me take over. Until I wrote this post I was dreading going and now that I look at the reason I want to go gets me more excited. I got to change the way I look at things. :)

Holiday World.....and we're HOME!!!
Yesterday we went to Holiday World....an amusement park and a water park all in one big great park!!!! IT WAS PACKED!!! There were lines that lasted like an hour and a half long. What I thought was most interesting about the park is that there were different sections in the park (like a Halloween section, Christmas, fourth of July, etc.). We left the park early than we planned on because it was so crowded. So, once we are done there we start our drive home. We only made it 2 hours that night and then woke up this morning and drove the rest. We finally got home around 6 o' clock. We are home at last!! And had a blast with my grandma and cousins! :)
