J 02 Seminary

Seminary

8-25-08

I woke up this morning at seven o'clock and thought to myself. "Today is the day that school starts"

For me that means Seminary.

I had to rush to get ready and eat breakfast by Seven Thirty, which is when our ride (Sam Jenks in his Berreta) comes to pick us (Me and Jana) up (Until Wednesday because Jana will have her drivers license WOO).

We got there about ten minutes early (which was ok), and they were just doing there morning Devotional for the kids going to school.

We sat through that and then waited as the other people came in. After everyone was there the Teachers started us off.

They had a funny video to introduce themselves were they had stuck the heads of the different teachers on famous people in the Olympics this year. It was fun.

Then they introduced the Seminary Theme Scripture for this year. Revelations 3:20.

So I still don't know what teacher I have, but that's ok. I'll find out tomorrow.

J 01 Writing Class

Writing Class 2008 - 2009

8-20-08

This year in Polar Star one of the classes that I'm taking is the Writing class, done (as last year) by Ann Meeks.

In the Writing Class one of the assignments that you have is to write Journal Entries or "J's" (or at least that's what they were called last year) a few times a week.

This year is the same except that you do it online using a Blog program.

A J has to be at least one hundred Words long, and can be about anything you want.

So that's what I'm doing.

I think writing J's is fun. Try it.

The Starting School Year

School.

A word that a lot of young people, from Kindergarten, to a Senior in High School don't really like.

And school is about to start. Next Monday, is when the schools start where I live, The doors to the various levels of schools open up and receive the excited, nervous, tiered, unprepared and surprised kids who, for all of summer, haven't had to think about getting up early, making it to all their individual classes, seeing all the people that they hadn't seen for the summer and homework. Something that many people are definitely not looking forward to.

You're probably thinking, Why is he talking about that stuff? He's home-schooled isn't he?

Well, I have school to. I already said that I go to Polar Star. And even though that's just on Mondays, the homework and assignments are meant to last all the rest of the week.

Plus, I also am starting Seminary this year. For those that don't know, Seminary is extra Religious Education, for members of the LDS Church, that is at the same time as school for boys and girls fourteen trough eighteen.

I've never gone to Seminary before so I'm really excited.

So My school year is just as "interesting" as many people who do Public School.

Anyway. School is about to start.

YAAAAAAA! AHHHHHHH!

Help Me Decide :-(

Ok, now that I've said that I enjoyed summer, what else to say... hmm.

My Dad made a comment on Summer Fun, my last post, that I had to decide whether to go to Wind Rivers with the young men, or to go to Bear Lake with Polar star.

I would appreciate everyones input on which one to go to. Here are the facts.

Both trip are "overnighters" starting next Tuesday
The Polar Star trip will only be one night
The Wind Rivers will be four nights
There will be swimming in Bear Lake
There most likely won't be any swimming at Wind Rivers
I have already been on two weeks of camping with my ward
I haven't seen anyone from Polar Star in months
Wind Rivers will have tons of fishing
During the Polar Star trip they will go to see a Shakespeare Melodrama at the Pickleville Dinner Theater
They will be sleeping in a cabin at Bear Lake
Tents at Wind Rivers.

That's pretty much all the things I can think of. Just for info, I'm sort of leaning towards the Polar Star trip right now.

Please tell me what YOU would do as soon as possible.

Summer Fun

This is my first try at blogging, so it probably won't be the best.

First of all, I should say I am really enjoying summer.

Oh I know that sounds Cheesy but, I am. So far it's been fun (even though so far is allmost gone). I have been on two week long camps with scouts (one right after the other), I enjoy being ot of school (I go to a private co-op school called Polar Star so it hasn't been real school, but who cares) because I don't have to worry about asignments all the time and get to hang with my friends a whole heck of a lot more.

Even though summer is starting to peak and roll off in the other direction, the past, there's still enough left to have some fun.

Fun to me means: Sleeping in (usually till nine-thirty or ten), Jumping on our trampoline (it's bright green), playing a few computer games (we only have computers), playing with / anoying my siblings (all four of them), Hangging with my friends, Riding motorized vehicals, Camping and now Blogging.

Well now you know what I like to do in the summer. How about you, comment to tell me.

Eli.
