Lorena took her second College Algebra midterm last night. She thinks she did well. It will be great if she gets through this class. She has only one more math class before she has all she needs to get the kind of degree she wants. She will still have to take a couple of statistics courses, accounting, and some other stuff like that, but none of them will be as rigorous as the math. I am proud of her for studying so hard. Christian, Kelly, and I went out to dinner at Carl’s Jr. and then on to our Wednesday night bible study in Jefferson without Lorena. It was nice, but it does not feel so good not to have Lorena there.
The kids are finishing their school work earlier every day as we wind down. They have gotten a little stir crazy because it has been raining pretty hard since the day after we planted the new trees almost a week ago now. It is great for the trees, but a little hard on our sanity to be cooped up in the house. After tomorrow, we only have one more week of school. In the next couple of days, I need to stop by Staples to buy some “professional, clear plastic binders” for their research reports. Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes fame put his report on bats — the famous Bats = Bugs report — in a professional, clear plastic binder with absolute confidence that the teacher would give him an A+. It is kind of the family joke now, so we are very much looking forward to our professional, clear plastic binder.
Today is the last piano practice before the big, year end recital on Sunday after church. I will make sure and get some photos to post here along with a report. This will be our first big event to record with our new camcorder, too.
