Today we read on our own again. I read about sumuari, it was sort of cool. I also read more about the crusaids, the Muslims and the jews were awful horrible about them. Science was about what the world is made of, did you know that vinegar is a compound of gases. It is really carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and that is the same exact things as acetone. I learned about lasers in science too.

I can’t believe I’ll be twelve in four days!!! You know new years resolutions? Well last year I made a birthday resolution to understand life by the time I’m twelve, I am nowhere close and Mom said she’d be lucky if she did that by the time she was 40, and Reed said you find out enough to know that there is a lot more to it than you thought. I don’t know everything but I do know the purpose of life, mans purpose, our Creator, and a lot more. As I ponder life, for each question answered ten million more bubble up from under the surface of my thoughts, they will bubble up forevermore. But I think that whatever the answer to those questions are, life is a bountiful gift from God, and we should use it to serve Him forevermore.

We went to pickup stuff at the store and the library, it was fun. It is only 4:14 and I should be done by 5 o’clock, yay! Today we read our stuff by ourselves. I read about Samurai in history. They were like knights in a lot of ways. I read ahead in Bible and read about crossing the Jordan and the memorial stones. We read crazy not understandable poems.
They had their codes of chivalry, their lords their land and other such things. They knew how to paint, dance,garden, and write poetry. It must of taken forever to put on armor. There were knights who set up hospitals and they had a white cross with red around for their coat of arms. We learned about the holy crusades.
We started chemistry in science today. Chemistry is the study of substances. They mix them ,heat them, cool them, discover them, and other such things.

Lava got fleas and we are going to give him a flea bath today. We read poems about birds, and while we were reading them the window was open so we could hear the real birds chirping in agreement. Mom’s throat hurts so we didn’t finish our stuff. It is only lunch time.
We learned more about Jesus’s power, it is not magic and He only uses it to help people. It is amazing that Jesus’s disciples had less faith in Him than the other people did. Demons are real, but God has power over them. My favorite miracle that Jesus performed was when he healed Bartimaeus.

We are back at our house with mom and dad now!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got the day off of school yesterday because mom was sick with the stomach bug or something like that, and it was also presidents day. She is better now but not all the way better, and Reed is sick too so I have been the only one doing school today. It is only 1:48. Adi is moving out of my room so I am doing a ton of cleaning.
I got an A on my math quiz. I learned about pluralization in LA, it was pretty easy and went quickly. I drew a map of where Jesus did miracles for field guide, it took a while but I think I did an okay job if I do say so myself. I am ahead in workbooks so I didn’t have to do any today. I did some of yesterdays stuff so that when we do extra together stuff I won’t have as much stuff to do.

Trump has lost a battle in the war against banning travel. Some people have said that the countries that e want to ban are mostly Muslim, and that would make it incrimination. He plans on taking it back to court with a new argument. We will soon see how it turns out.

Today I finished school early again. It is about 10:30. I brought a bunch of good books for my friend to read and we are going to have sooooo much fun talking about them. I miss my parents but I am having a ton of fun too!!! Adi is being ok and school has been fine. I am reading a book about George Washington Carver for school and it is really interesting. Did you know he was pretty much mute when he was a kid?

Tomorrow is the day. Tonight my friend who I am staying with is going to come over here for a sleepover. Tomorrow we are going to point class together, we are in the same class. Then we hang out until when we have to head over to her house, we pack up a car, (our van has broken down and the car is at the shop, so hopefully we will be able to get some sort of transportation because her house is an hour away.) Some how we will get there, we will get shown the house, (none of us not even I have seen her house and we have been friends for about a year now) then will will settle in, (we are bringing the cat too.) And then mom and dad will leave, if we ever get all that figured out then I will; A. Have an awesome week with my best friend, B. Have an awful week missing Mom and Dad, C. Have and awful week taking care of and cleaning up after Adi, or D. All of the above. Please vote on which one you think is most likely going to happen, I am hoping and praying on A. But B, or C seem way more likely. At least I’m almost done packing!!! Don’t forget to vote by putting your opinion/letter/other in the comments!!! We value your opinion.
We read about Israel blessing and telling the future of his sons. I thought he died yesterday but I was wrong and he died today. Most of his sons had awful futures. Joseph has now died, there was a lot of Dying in our Bible today.
In history we learned about the crazy idea that non-christians have of religion. It is sad, so so so very very very very sad. I don’t want to think about it any more. We also read about the arts, it took forever to make books, wow mass production is really helpful but it also cuts the value of it by 100. Everything used to be made of wood, that is sad because wood burns way to easily. We saw a picture of the Hagia Sophia. it is so amazing. The Chinese invented fireworks, clocks and discovered magnets.

Wow only two days, I really need to pack today. Last year I started packing weeks ahead, it is overwhelming when I think about how long and at the same time not very long ago that was. I remember it like it was just yesterday but at the same time I have grown so much sense then. I should better go pack.
Today Reed told us a really funny play on words joke that had to do with Islam and Buddhism. In Bible we read about more of Joseph’s life. He has now bought all of Egypt and everything else in Egypt for Pharaoh. And Jacob died. Tomorrow we are going to finish Genesis. Mom started to read extra Field guide, even though we read through next weeks yesterday.
In history we learned about old English, it is crazy confusing. It was nothing like now-a-days English. We stole a lot of words from other countries, why can’t we make up our own? I wouldn’t like living in a feudalistic society. We learned about Magyars. They were fast, and they used that to ride around stealing things and killing people. It was awful, and nobody could catch them. Until finally a king conquered them. People have very odd names and nicknames in the world. There was really a King named Louis La Fat, how embarrassing!!! History is pretty much impossible to pronounce name person started a war, conquered, over through, or fought against impossible to pronounce name person. The Seljuk people had a “Friday” mosk, isn’t that crazy.
