Here’s a quick head’s up on our September plans. The topic will be “The College Experience”. We’ll be discussing what that is, are we missing out on it, and how to respond to people who don’t think your college work “counts”. I’ll be interviewing Michael Boyd sometime in September. Do you have any questions or…

Mourning a Friend
I finally filled up my spiral bound notebook. This book served me faithfully for a year. I filled it with copious notes, journeled, made a few to do lists, and pretty much used every page. 🙂 Through English Lit.. And Computer Science Managment And College Math And American Lit
Mustard Seed Faith
I wrote this essay for the CollegePlus scholarship contest. Since I don’t have a Facebook account, my essay does not appear on the CollegePlus website (should I make comment about discrimination?). While you can’t see it there, you can read it here! Let me know what you think, please!!! I bowed my head and prayed…
Using My CLEPs
People always complain about CLEP exams. They don’t want to “feel like they just studied for a test”. Somehow we have decided that if you sit through a course for a full semester, you learn more material than if you just study and take the CLEP test. While it is possible to “memorize facts, pass…
You Might Be Homeschooled If…

Re-post. A Little Ranting… If you read the whole thing.

Questions involving their characters, settings, and influence…
Well… Management CLEP update
I took and passed Principles of Management, with a 52. Last night I went to sleep thinking I wouldn’t take it because I had just made a 49 on my practice test (after fairly good scores all month) and I thought I had a sinus infection. My family prayed for me and I got a…
Repost: A Necessary Argument
Here’s a repost , since I’m busy studying. 🙂 One of the favorite things people tell me when I try and explain the way I’m doing college is… “Well, how are you ever going to find a spouse that way? I met my husband/wife at college!” Now I have NOTHING against meeting your spouse…
Three tests, 6 essays, and 200 people
My life is just a little bit crazy here, and I miss writing on my blog. 🙂 I can’t wait for the cool fall days when we leave the windows open and the leaves are pretty colors. The season when we go camping, and I have my birthday, and life seems easier to deal with. …
