The chickens decided to make me happy and turn in the full quota of eggs today. I needed that and the chocolate ice cream I described before to get through geometry. I hate that particular subject. People say that if you like logic and reason you'll like geometry. I love logic and reason. Something tells me that the people who took that survey weren't on top of everything.

At least I have reading. Sure, the study guide delves too deep for the book to be fun anymore, but at least there are some sections where I can put in excerpts of my story for the requirements they place. That and in grammar, for dialog and punctuation exercises and the like. When I go over it with my mom and my sister listening, they like it, but I tend to leave things at a suspenseful point. And I refuse to tell them more.

History is good to. I love learning about things that happened in the past -and I find a lot of things to incorporate into my stories in some way shape or form. Battles, diseases, weapons, civilizations. It's all great.

Science. I fall for biology -especially the classification. I soak up the names of phylums and classes like a sponge. And what do you know, the different organisms and the way they work somehow manage to help me along in my stories.

Home Economics is also fun -it's a way to do things useful other than academics during school time and say without lying that you're doing something okay. Baking, cooking, sewing, the works.

And flute, as an extra. I love playing the flute and ignoring everything (other than a toilet overflow that the little kids are screaming about). I also take care of our 25 chickens (down from 27 since the hawk visited) and give myself chiropractic adjustments (and massages in the places I can reach). I need it because my joints are constantly getting stuck or something like that. And my muscles easily get sore.

Reading and writing are really my passions. I've won a poetry award and read as often as possible. (I recommend the book Personality Plus by Florence Littauer.) And my stories keep crawling along and new ideas pop up. As long as I don't get a headache, I'm fine.

Gardening shouldn't be a side note, but here it is anyway. Love digging in the dirt.

As before and always be,
