Tomorrow is my next field day Friday. This one is going to put me ahead of my own family in one type of knowledge. That is the knowledge about sports. Specifically football above all else. The reason for me getting to know more is the fact that dad is a honest to goodness computer geek. No offense to anyone. Then there is Kristi who gets out but isn't interested in sports. To be honest I am not interested in much sports myself but apparently there is something to learn from sports. I guess we will all see.
I know just about everyone that is reading this knows about the fact that the Presidential Debate was last night. Interesting fact is that the best part about the debate was that everyone had a joke to crack about what the two candidates were saying. Including several about Romney's threat towards PBS. I laughed my butt off at when Zoe heard about this that she said that she wouldn't vote for Romney because he was threatening PBS. I know I wouldn't either if I was the person that watched it every morning before school either. Which I did do when I was younger.
This week is coming to a screeching halt with little to stop me in anyway. Football tomorrow, dinner afterwards, and Eating out on Saturday. Speaking of eating on Saturday. I finished my first semester of French and now is treating me to a place called aixois. An authentic French restaurant. On Saturdays the people are encouraged to speak French while inside the restaurant. I believe that this is going to tasty, fun, and hard all in one.

Back to Normal
I made through today with some good news on my mind. Kristi is going to be getting out of the hospital today. In fact, she even sounds better over the phone then she did when I called her the day before. I can't imagine life without right at this point right when she has brought this family to the point of finally seeing the silver lining on things in life. Dad has been providing for this family so much that he can't spend much time on doing much else but work. We all appreciate the work he has put into this family but without Kristi I don't think that life would still be the same.
Work has been going pretty easy this week and doesn't require much in the way of effort. That is just my perspective on the matter but I also believe that this is the week where I get off easy. Next week on the other hand I was told was going to be hard so I do believe that I still have to try this week to try. That is of course the bare minimum required in all bits of work. Effort is a strong word that most people know but do not truly use.
I looked back on one day while I was in the car with Kristi and we were discussing Freakonomics. We had discussed my incentives in life. I could honestly say my favorite one is the ability to eat good food in any shape or form. Even if it is a simple burrito from the restaurant in front of our house. I could then sit down and eat some chocolates or maybe a cheeseburger. There is also more to life for me then food. For example I also love my quiet time on my computer. The complex and confusing patterns on my computer help me calm down and think and relax. All of my life I loved the complex things I could create on my computer.

Missing Kristi
My teacher Kristi is currently in the hospital. She has been going there quite a bit lately and I don't know what much to say. The entire day I've been distracted most of the day by what might happen. She has done so much for this household of ours. Including a clean house, an organized family, and a calm dad. Speaking of dad I can tell that he is as worried about her as me by the way he walks in every day after work. We are trying to fill in where Kristi is missing in the house but the subject is sensitive and no one is really willing to talk about it.
My work has been set up for the week for now. Friday is another make up day and this week is pretty easy with the most of my work being french. I have to work at least 6 hours every day. Not that bad in comparison to public school which after adding things up is about 8 hours every day. School work is pretty much the easiest it has ever been yet. Other then last week of course where I finished the school week 2 days early.
I wish I could continue my blog a little bit more but now I am still a bit distracted by the thought of Kristi. I hope you all can understand my little predicament I am in right now. If your reading this Kristi we are worrying and we miss you.

Math discoverys
Last night before going to bed my dad showed me an interesting video on Khan Academy. It is called Tau versus Pi. I decided that the easiest way to explain this is to show you all the video so that I can get my full point of view across. The part about this video that didn't make any sense to me was just about all of it. On the other hand it looked like it would make things a lot easier. So how about all of you give this a quick look over?Tau versus Pi.
In the ways of this weeks most interesting work. I would say the fact that I am going to be starting my high school algebra a lot earlier then I thought I would be. In fact I didn't even think about ever seeing this in this entire year. I also have a few links for Algebra but there is no reason to give people a lecture on something that I believe most of you know. Maybe even all of you if this blog is only being followed by adults. I do enjoy watching 3 videos a day on Algebra but I have been warned that it will only get harder the next week and I wonder if I will be ready for the challenges that wait ahead.
As some of you might have noticed on Free Day that I only had 2 paragraphs. This might happen every once in a while due to a lack of material to type about. I know I could drag a couple of subjects out and get at least a minimum of 3 paragraphs, but I would prefer not to drag out one point about how I had the ability to pretty much sit at home the entire day on a free day. All I am saying is that I will being writing less then 2 paragraphs on days that don't have much going on.

B.E. TEK
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.

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.
