Moo!

I have no explanation for the title of this post.
Okay, so a friend and I got into an interesting discussion about books like Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson.  While I know that everyone has their own opinion she posted as her facebook status:
"Question of the day: Should Christians read books like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, that place emphasis on other religions?"
I want to know your answers to these questions!
Anyway, as of now, I'm starting to plan for school.  As a homeschooler I am now my own teacher.  I am old enough to self teach.  At least some things.  Math is my biggest struggle.  I hate it, I'm not really that good at it, and none of it sticks.
I just have to find out what the required classes are for High schooled Kansans.  Unfortunately, I think that math is one of them. :/
As extra credit, (I guess you would call it?) I'm planning on doing memorization, coding, and psychology.  Call me crazy, but Psychology is a very interesting topic to me.  If I am able to do a foreign language, I'm not sure which I'll pick, because I want to learn more of the several that I know bits and pieces of, (Latin, Greek, Spanish, French) and then I want to learn Gaelic.  For those of you who may not know, Gaelic is the Irish language.
I'm Irish.  Alas, I've never been to Ireland, but I want to someday.  I also have family from Sweden, but I have no desire to go there, or learn the language.  I'm strange like that.
I also have a huge interest in the Native Americans.
I just found what is supposed to be the required subjects.  I'm not sure if it's for high schoolers though.  Here it is:

• Mathematics
• Reading
• Social Studies
• Science
• Writing   

Math: Ugh.  Reading: I like reading.  Social Studies: Yay!  Science: What kind?  Writing: No words can describe my happiness of "having" to write.
I love to write, so I'm not sure I'm even going to count my creative writing (stories, books) as school.  Maybe I should though.
I mean, you like something, and you can do it, and it can be counted as school, go ahead and do so!
Math...It's my worst school nightmare.  Being a homeschooler has it's advantages, such as not having nightmares of being alone in the hallway of your school, fully clothed, then someone coming out and laughing at you, then you realize that no, you're not actually wearing clothes at all, but are wearing what you were wearing when you were born.  Nothing.
Me...I more have nightmares of giant math problems trying to crush me.  Ugh.
I'm thinking about trying to find a tutor, because I know that you can get practically nowhere in life not knowing math.
I sure hope that I marry a guy who's good with numbers!  Hey who knows, he may even be able to help me out with my math issues!
My main issues are that I can't remember how to do things beyond simple division.  I can do, and like multiplying.
Mom says that she thinks it's because we didn't stick to one math book learning system thingy.  I don't know if she's right or not, I just want to stop being so math disorented!
If we can find a math book, or tutor that can help me remember how to do this stuff, I will love the book and tutor for as long as I live, just never admit it.
You know though, I don't get how a person who can imagine tons of stuff, and write books that an editor (who is supposed to be judging the book critically) loves, can be so dumb with math.
Annnyyyywayyyyy, done talking about math!
Sometimes I wish I was public schooled, but it's not because of the peers, or the main of the teaching.  I want to go for the extra classes!  The ones like woodworking, mechanics, home ec, ect.  Homeschooled kids don't exactly get to do stuff like that.
And apparently neither do some private schooled kids!
There's a private Christian school nearby, and they have no extra classes, (like the ones I just listed) or sports.  How awful and sad is that??  At least they have music.  That's one good thing.
Speaking of music, I would die without music!  I'm almost positive that I would die without it.  It's gotten me through many tough times.  And given me hope.  Both Christian music, and more non Christian music.
I did tell y'all about camp coming up right?  Oh yeah, I'm excited!  So excited!
I'm also watching the second Narnia movie.  I so gotta read the books again.  I also need to finish the book that I'm reading now.
The Hobbit.
So far, I love it!
For those of you who may be wondering, I'm at the part where they have just gotten away from the trolls, and I think that they've passed through the elves place, and are at the house of...a guy who's name I seem to have forgotten, but I think that it starts with an E?
Anyway, the point is that I love it, and that I wish I could be a hobbit.  Granted, I would be even shorter than I already am now, (5 foot, and two inches tall if you're wondering) but think of the feet!  I could go barefoot all the time!  And live in a Hobbit Hole!!!
Anyway...your wishful hobbit-wanna-be is gettin off of her blog, (this one) and is going to try to get some stuff figured out for her book.  Such as, when to publish it, getting it finally rechecked, and PUBLISHED!
So long, and farewell.  Please, don't forget to comment your opinions about Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and maybe even Twilight!
