I have a 112 in Bible class.
I just thought that was worth sharing.
Also, have a C- in calculus, so we’re going to have to do something about that. I might have to get a tutor. This will be an adventure for sure…
A lot has been happening that I’ll update you on soon enough.
This weekend, I’m taking the ACT then I’m traveling to Texas to visit Baylor University. I will be attending the church...

Second Week Recap
Alright, so. Last weekend was spent in the middle of nowhere at a 4-H camp, talking about Jesus. It was really grand. I met a lot of new friends and ate a lot of good food. There were lots of riddles and on-going jokes involved, and fun was had by all.
This school week was only 3 days, then, since we retreat-ed until midday Tuesday. So that made life a little more relaxing. Who knew, though, that...
First Week Recap
This has probably been the busiest week of my life. Being away from home from 7am - 4pm every day really takes its toll on your physical and mental strength. I am exhausted to say the least.
The year has started out nicely. I’ve been cast in a play, and joined the school chorus, so those “performing” constants remain in my life. I’m glad to have the opportunity to stay on...
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Monday morning, 6am, and there’s a ringing in my ears. I’m pretty sure I must’ve moaned pretty loudly and unpleasantly at that point. After reluctantly crawling out of the bed, I groomed myself and put on my uniform. Ready to go, I hit the road and spent the next 30 minutes fighting morning rush hour.
My homeroom class is the furthest building from the parking lot, so that was a...
The Joys of Summer Homework
Imagine a beautiful mid-summer’s day in Atlanta. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping. It’s summertime and the “livin’s easy.” I open my front door and walk outside, barefooted, along the concrete driveway. I’m on a mission to check the mail. Not expectant for anything of note, I open the mailbox and find a nice pile of bills and catalogs. During my...
Hi, I'm Chelsea. I'm new this year.
Today was registration day. I shook a lot of strangers’ hands, and hugged a lot of old friends. It was strange to be back there, in that huge school. Everything has changed so much.
I walked my schedule and met my teachers, all of whom are men. I am so used to being around middle-aged, menopausal women. It will be a nice change, I think.
Meeting the other students was really refreshing....
Back to My Beginnings
2010. Wearing a white cap & gown, graduating with all of my life-long friends in the quad. That was how I always imagined it.
…until 2002, when the bomb was dropped. “You’re going to be homeschooled, Chelsea,”
my mom said, lovingly. Her intentions were spotless, and I acquiesced without too much trouble. Leaving my 4th grade friends would be difficult, but I knew it...
