I have been so busy lately that I have broken my promise of regular updates!
I finished my first block of classes already and earned a 94% in both. I am happy that I have an A average right now, but I wish my grades were higher. I’m in the third week of my second block of classes. This time it’s another communications course and the dreaded Critical Thinking. I hate that class! This week we are discussing what our expository essays are going to be about. So far we have immigration, the importance of using in English in America, gas and oil prices, cosmetic surgery, and tattoos and piercing. I can’t wait to see what type of debates arise from all of this!
The girls are almost done with school. Alexis and Desiree have done amazing. Dani is still having problems, and I am waiting to find out if she actually gets promoted to 9th grade. I could strangle that girl.
Oh! The most important news! We are moving. This weekend, to be exact. We found a wonderful house in North Peoria which is perfect because it is in a great schooling area, right next to my church, and very close to my sisters, brothers, and mom. I am ecstatic! Four days until the big move and I still have over half a house to pack. I love it because I can throw out all the crap that has accumulated over the years.
I really can not wait to start out fresh in this new house.
My next post will probably be done once I am in the new place. Wish us luck!
Congrats on the new house! I have no idea where you are moving but it sounds good! haha Being close to family and in a great school district is very important. It’s nice that they are all together. Good job with school, I know you were beating yourself up over the final grades but 94% is awesome! Keep riding Dani, she will get there. I had a rough few years in middle school (jr high back then) but my mom rode me through high school and I managed to get a full scholorship from the U of CO. So there is always hope!
If I can do it, so can Dani!
