Today for school I went to my dad's job. This day has been extremely easy except for working on replacing motherboards in computers. Even then those didn't take much time at all in the long run. So much of my day was easy to the point that it felt like I had another free day. All in all the day went so well that the day flew by in no time. Especially with my computer over with me to help pass the time.
After waiting half of the day I got to go eat lunch at a place called Waldo's Pizza. A remarkable little hole in the wall which I have yet to see empty. In fact it is always so full that last time me and my dad went over to the place just to eat pizza ordered by us and not the buffet we waited an hour to get our seats. The wait despite it being long was completely worth it.
After returning back from lunch we settled down and went back to work. Not much work required on my part but things were going well over there. With all of the days events things seemed extremely easy. I hope to see other days like this. But for everyone out there that was looking for my blog entry yesterday I am sorry. I said I was going to do it at home but I never got around to it. Mainly I should say that it slipped my mind but I think that most people wouldn't except that as an excuse.
These are my days in the home schooling world. It is bound to be a new and exciting experience that i hope all of you can enjoy

Free Day
This entry is going to be a little shorter then usual. Today I got away with sleeping in and doing nothing but Made To Serve. Honestly one of my best school days ever. I just decided that for today I was going to pop my free day and relax. That is exactly what I did and boy was it worth it. I woke up more refreshed then I have been in a long time. Not even needing caffeine for once.
Though today was a free day I went to Made to Serve with Kristi. I wished I could've said that this experience was amazing and fun, but I can't. I saw a man that was not only homeless but was mugged, pistol whipped, and his fingers broken and swollen. This was actually quite disturbing as I had seen this man once before and he was always cheerful but today he was depressed and I could barely see any hint of a smile. I miss the smile I saw him with the first day I met him.

I Take it Back!
From the last blog entry I would love to take back a certain comment. The one about the foundation work being hard and useless. I was just a little bit upset at the time about situations that had nothing to do with school what so ever. I actually am now ahead of my work schedule and getting the work down to a key. Both of my recent tests were aced with flying colors. I really don't understand why I was complaining yesterday. It all seems so stupid to me now.
Like I said, I have gone above and beyond on my work. After doing the rest of today's work I am going to do tomorrows work ahead of time. Pretty much all I have to do tomorrow is some more essay questions. I can now do those easily without getting spinny and depressed. I am probably going to throw out my free day card for tomorrow if everything goes according to plan today.
I mentioned my other new books as well. One of them is Catcher in the Rye. Another one is called Anthem. And the last one is my Biology book. I am almost done with Anthem only because I read ahead a little bit. I have barely touched down on Catcher in the Rye. And finnaly The Biology is going to be around for quite a little bit of time.

Foundation Time
For most of the last two weeks I have been doing foundation work. No matter how much I despise this work it just doesn't go away. I know it is only there so I can do the fun work but it still is annoying little pieces of work that don't help at all. I do know they help but I cant do anything but wonder why I am still doing this. I hope that all this work is worth its weight in the coming weeks.
No extra work in the ways of my Kart. I don't have info that I need from a person that is planning on helping us. Like materials to work with. I know Hammer Space provides tools but I don't really know if they provide anything else. I hope I can get all of my supply's on time. If I don't get them soon I can't enter in the race.
A little insight on any of the work I'm doing. One thing is that I am starting over on my French lessons so that I can get them down. I don't remember the first lessons being this easy at all. I zip through the words and wait for the next ones before they even explain how to say it. Even then I am going back to get better and since this is my goal I better not give into slacking now.

New tools
Starting off with my progress on my kart for the downhill race. I hope to have found a decent body design but there is a lot more to it then that. For example I only imagine the kart but I don't even have the parts yet. No idea how to get brakes, body, steering wheel, and wheels all for $100 or lower. Any ideas would be welcome.
The cool news is that I found a place called Hammer Space. This place will have all of the materials necessary for my kart work. Also I can sign up for some fun classes like metal working or robotics.
A really good place to start for all of the kart is to find the tools I need. If we sign up I get access to all of the tools and even more curriculum.
Work today went pretty well. All of my work today was done except my word problems. I was kinda upset that none of the word problems had anything to do with each other. For example one was multipy a couple of things together. Another one was find the percent of this number. Really was that necessary. Either way it could have been much worse so today went pretty well.

Down to the Basics
Today was all about make up work. The work from the last week that I didn't finish in time for the end of the day. Well here I am all done with everything. Everything except the word problem sheet. Honestly I still don't understand why I can't grasp such an easy process.
Anyway, I completed everything except that worksheet. I even completed the essay question for Catcher in the Rye. The reason why it was so hard is because I wasn't really willing to relate the main characters opinions and thoughts back to me. All it was really was what do you think of his thoughts. It was all that simple. I didn't actually have to wait so long to do the question if I had spent a couple more minutes on the day it was due.
For lunch today Kristi and I ate one fantastic restaurant. It's name is Zara Sushi. I can't help but love such a simple yet enticing restaurant. With a bar view of the sushi being made and the kindness of every employee over there it is a wonder how someone couldn't fall head over heels for such a place. The best part about it is that Zara Sushi is right in front of our house.

Side work
Lets start off with the fact that my work load is only getting worse. I don't know how to work on one set of my math problems, I have more work behind the math problems, and I didn't finish all of today's work either. All in all tomorrow is just getting even more threatening the more I think about it. I don't even know if I will be willing to even get up in the morning to start doing all of this make up work.
On the upside I have been working on a project of my very own since last night after my blog. Though it has nothing to do with school it is still something that I am learning about by doing the work on my own on my own time. I have been working getting a server running for me and my friends to play on. Sadly it is not as hard of a game to get this running for as most. Meaning I am starting out small and maybe working my way up to bigger amounts. I am making a LAN server for me and my friends to play on Minecraft. Still not a hard game to work but still I thought it was necessary to share the fact that I have put plenty of work into this project.
We also have a little guest in our household. His name is Tiger and he is a little white and tan spotted shitzu puppy. He is extremely hyper while also being loved on by everyone in the house hold. Sometimes I wonder if he even notices the attention. Either way Tiger is the funniest little puppy I have seen in a long time as if he is not playing he's sleeping and which as soon he wakes up he plays again. He can't stand having to be alone at any point in time. I'm going to miss him when he finally has to go home.
