1/6/14 school

Ok! Today is Monday, the first day of school in 3 weeks!
    Here is what I did in Math:
Khan has updated their site, they now tell me what parts of math I'm struggling in. Like the stuff that I never got in third grade of fourth or fifth grade. Then they help me fill in those gaps so that I can go on to learn other stuff and actually get what they are talking about.. It just shows how flawed the school systems really are, cus apparently I am missing a ton of stuff in third, fourth and fifth grade. So today I'm relearning in the fourth grade again. I have reviewed about fractions, aria of triangles, and ordering fractions (like how big or small they are compared to each other).
    I also met a fellow author and freelance writer/publisher. She writes Historical Romance. My mom, her and I talked about writing for hours and she gave me some great advice! So I guess that counts as some kind of subject.
    For P.E. today I speed walked all around the lake (probably about 1 1/2 miles long). One of my new years resolutions is to walk, jog and eventually run for about 15-30 mins a day. I have done good so far, and I have really pushed myself to my physical limits, almost passing out after running non stop for several minutes the other day. O_o I have (speed) walked almost every day so far this year and it feels amazing. Who knew after 15 minutes of walking you could feel so energized and refreshed and I had no idea how physical exercise can actually enhance your mood. :D I will definitely make this resolution a habit!
    German and Guitar: For the past while German and Guitar got really hard for me and I just kinda gave up on both of them, then two weeks ago (for the first time in months) I picked up the guitar I strummed the strings and watched some of Marty's vids and immediately everything came back to me and I started rocking out! (ok, that might be an exaggeration) But really, even though my fingers huts like heck, I have found playing the guitar to be so much more natural and easy than I remember. I play the guitar everyday (accept for today because we were busy) and it has become another one of my bigger new years resolutions.       Yesterday I was strumming away on my guitar and I thought of how easy it is after I took a break, maybe German would be the same. The reason I quit German for a while was because I felt like something was missing, like there was one special thing that I had to know and then I could learn it easily. I had this feeling a lot when I was a kid (and I still do sometimes), I would think that there was one or two pieces of information that I could get into my brain and then I would understand what it is to be a adult to be grown up, and take care of myself. I have learned that this is not the case, the thing is that none of us are really adult (unless you think of being adult as passing a certain age) I have heard of 16 year olds that are wiser beyond their years and I have seen 80 year olds that still don't get what it means to live. I have realized that you don't acquire a certain amount of information to be considered an adult (or a pro a German), you just start to learn and then you never stop. Then, after, I wonders how I want to start over on German and what classes and stuff I want to take. Then I had a thought: School systems and many other things you can get online have a very flawed teaching system in terms of teach a new language. They think that if you learn how to read and write then you can build up to talking and speaking fluently. But how do babes and toddlers learn? They listen, then they repeat. So now I have modified a teaching thing online so that I just listen to it while I am looking on Pintrest or whatever. I listen then I repeat. That simple. I hope that this plan works. So.... ya that's my plan for German and Guitar, Listen, Repeat, Practice. Every day! ^-^
    Reading: I just finished Children of the Mind yesterday and now I am reading a new book called Unwind, a book Emma has been begging me to read! ;) I will probably read about 45 mins tonight before I go to bed, if I read more of less I'll comment.
  Sorry, I only did a half day today, it was a busy day. But look how much I got done! ⬆⬆⬆
