Sophomore Year? {Jerehmiah 29:11}

Hello!
Today was the first day of school. Ah! WHERE did summer go?! It honestly went WOOSH and was gone. I spent the last night of summer babysitting four of THE cutest little boys ever. Four little blonde brothers and did I mention the middle two are twins? Yeah. I know. I'm blessed to know such precious people:) Any-who-diddle...this morning I got up at ten to eight, showered and got ready for school. By the time I helped my sister pack our lunch for school it was time to go at about ten fifteen.
Oh. You're probably really lost...haha see I'm homeschooled. GASP! No, I'm not a shletred freak who doesn't know who Justin Bieber is. Not saying homeschoolers are freaks, cause they're not, but that's how a lot of people see homeschoolers I know. I've been homeschooled all my life and I'm nearly fifteen. The following list is answers to some expected questions about homeschooling/homeschoolers...
- Yes, sometimes I don't get dressed and do my school in my PJ's.
- Yes, I do sleep in a lot but this year I plan to change that. And P.S. A lot of homeschoolers do NOT sleep in at all. I'm just...special
- Yes, I infact have many friends and some of them are even NOT homeschooled!
- No, I do not consider myself socially awkward and yes I can carry on a pretty lively conversation with people outside of my family.
- Yes, I'm allowed to leave the house.
- No, I don't finish my school by noon, although some of my friends are that cool and can get it done that early.
There ya have it. If you still have questions feel free to ask;)
So even though I'm homeschooled, my family is part of a homeschool group which pretty much means...it's a public school for homeschoolers...ok so not EXACTLY. In MY homeschool group we have fieldtrips galore, a library where we can check out all kinds of stuff (school books, reading books, games, whatever) and classes. The classes are anything from electives to basics like math, composition, literature, history and so on.
SO we headed out to school (I call it school, and just an FYI these classes take place at an elementary school that our homeschool group is run through. Oh and the classes are only with other homeschooled kids) and got there for my first class. Chemistry. Yay? Haha it's not that bad.  I actually think it'll be kinda fun. And after class (which is like 2hours with a lunch break in the middle) I had a free period with my sister and my two best friends (they happen to be sisters too). That was about an hour and half. My sister and I played scrabble on my itouch and talked with my friends. Then it was Spanish class. And it went surprisingly well! I understood way more than I thought I would and Jesus was totally holding my hand through the whole class:) And I'm looking forward to Spanish 3 and actually memorizing like I should:P Anyway...that was about my first day. I'm so excited to see what God has in store for this school year. But, unlike last year, I REFUSE to let school be my number one. God is the ONLY One. If that made any sense. I'm REALLY looking forward to AWANA starting again. AWANA is pretty much a youth group for ages like...four year olds to High Schoolers.
Random. The other night at youth group (Different youth group, it's called Gravity and is super great.) we were going over some verses I'd read a lot and talking about other Bible stories I'd heard a bunch. As I sat there nodding my head and a bit dazed I looked over at the looks on  the other high schoolers faces. I don't think they've been churched all their lives like I have so it makes sense what I saw. Total awe. (That rhymed. Just sayin') They were amazed at a story I was like "Yeah, yeah, I've heard this one before." And it made me think.  Shouldn't that be MY reaction? I mean those stories ARE amazing<--- but just because I've heard the stories a bunch doesn't make them any less amazing. Something to think about. Oh. And Jesus is great. I love Him a lot.
Well there you have it. My first REAL post! Haha, I hope a bunch more are to come. But before you close this window, COMMENT! The reason I started this blog was to talk to others about life and God so get talkin'!
Jesus loves you,
Hannah Dorothy
