S*****

Hey Everyone! We have been really busy this week, with school starting and all. I am taking Geometry, Chemistry, Latin 3, Omnibus II (which is theology,litature (?), and history all rolled up into one really BIG class), Rhetoric, Writing with Expression and Clarity, Grammar, Home Economics, Music Appreciation, and of course gym. I am really busy!!!!! Right now I am currently reading the Hobbit (for my third or fourth time, I can't quite remember), and the Eusebius' History of the Church, which I actually and finding quite interesting. David, Natalie, and I go to Paideia on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so those are my really, really, really full days. On Tuesdays I am gone from 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. (my last class ends at 9). Chemistry is really blowing my mine to bits, and I don't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ugh, well it will be one of those subjects that I will just have to work really hard at I guess.

Cadet has been gone for a week now. We divided up your chores today, and lets just say, we are now wishing you back home. For ROTC today, Cadet got to jump off a 25ft diving board fully clothed, boots, backpack and all, blind folded. He the had to swim something like 15 yards, in the water with all his gear on and holding a rubber gun (that ways as much as a real one) above the water so it didn't get wet. Pretty intensive, I'd say.

Tomorrow there is a book sale at our library, so I am really looking forward to going to that. All the books are going to be priced a dollar or under. YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited?!?!?! Well, that's it for now because I really, can't think of anything more to write. Oh, I forgot, my dad is paying me, to do all the laundry (wash, fold, iron, disperse), so that's pretty sweet. I still have my other chores, but this is a little extra money in my pocket. THERE IS SO MUCH LAUNDRY FOR SEVEN PEOPLE!!!! (I don't have to do Dan's of course.) Ok, got to run. God Bless,
