HOMESCHOOLING!

So, just an hour ago, I was eating dinner. I had just taken a bite of baked ziti when Mom and Dad asked me a big question.
"Joan, how would you like to be homeschooled next year?" they asked.
I started choking and coughing. Normally, I would have just swallowed then hollered my surprise, but, ever since I got my braces a week ago, choking is normal.
"What?" I wheezed as soon as I could.
"Homeschooling. We've thought a lot about it, and we're going to homeschool you for ninth grade."
"What?" I repeated. This time I got a more thorough explanation.
Allie is homeschooling too! You see, her little brother, who is seven years younger than her, is having trouble in school. Her parents decided to take her out of school, too, and mom liked the idea of homeschooling me!
The reason they told me is because mom wants to go to a homeschool conference in a few weeks. Allie and her mom are going too, and Mom thinks this will be a good time to look at curriculum.
Of course, I instantly agreed to homeschool. I mean, who wouldn't? Maybe somebody who only has friends at school, but not me, as long as Allie is homeschooling too, two houses away.
I haven't been bloging for a while, because, quite frankly, it's been boring. But now I think I'm going to have to get this blog back up and running! :-D
