mythological pets

Hello readers,

The other day I found out that one of my friends has a cat. The cat's name is... Well first I want to ask you a question. Do you know the Greek Olympians? If so, well Daniel told me his cat's name is Zeus. I asked if his dogs name was Hera(the queen of the gods) but he said it was Shesha.

homeschooling (with Seton)

I just wanted tell you a little bit about homeschooling. OK- if you want to choose the ST. Elizabeth Ann Seton program you better be prepared for your kids in it to be absolutely overwhelmed and have them fall behind because he/she doesn't want to do the work. The second most important thing to know is that the program gives you quarter tests that come up every eight weeks. These tests are on every subject, which in sixth grade there are ten subjects a day. In some parts there are some pretty weird stuff- like having to look up on the internet about different people. Some of the lesson plans will say "for enrichment" or "optional" if you already know about the info, you wouldn't have to do it. After you get a book report complete (ya you get book reports every quarter) or any kind of paper that needs to be turned in, it feels like you just won a $100,000,000,000,000 lottery. After you finish your homework for the summer, you are basically in the most relaxing state of mind you can ever imagine to be in-in your entire life. At least that's how I imagine I will feel when I am finally done.

the not so Major problem

Ok, so if you read my post about the Major problem, I would like to make an update on that.

I went to several practices, the secondary coach (Mike) was a big meanie, he made me run a triangle!!! Do you even know what a triangle is!!? Well I'll tell you what it is!! Its when you run from home base to the first corner of the entire field, then you run to the next corner, then you run back to home. I will tell you this - IT STUNK!! Worse then anything in the entire universe, I felt total shame after the practice. After practice was over, I rode my bike home and told mom and dad that I wanted to quit. Mom and Dad said they supported my decision. I e-mailed the couch (Dave) that I quit and he sent an e-mail saying ok, sorry if it wasn't what you wanted. The next day the couch of the minors team I was on last season came to my house and said that he wanted me to be in Majors and that I am talented and stuff. After 30 min. he left. I thought about what he said, I decided to give Majors another try. I found out that Noah, my best friend, is going to be on the same Majors team as I am. So there you have it, the not so major problem.

Major problem

You'll never guess what happend to me?


OK, so I was all exited to be put on the same Minor baseball team this season. But the person in charge of placeing kids on the teams and the League said I was put in Majors because I was too big for Minors. I am age eligible for Minors, but due to my size, the president of the "Achorage West Little League" was affaid that little seven or eight year olds would get seriously injured. This bumms me out because all my friends are on the Minors. Even Noah, my best friend, was on the Minors team I would have been on. But guess what? He is 11 years old too. But the crazy thing is- he is a whole head and a half taller then me. He is now in Majors too, but I don't think he is on the same team as I am. so thats the Major problem.
