Our 2014-2015 School year is closed--we are finished. Well, not completely. But I have declared that our year is done. It feels good. It is a weight off my shoulders--and my mind. I feel a sense of accomplishment and completion--no more guilt or worry or persistence to get those last few things done. No more cajoling, persuading, commanding, bribing. No more patience, graciousness, firmness, mental acuity, calmness, kindness, biting my tongue. No more angry outbursts, tired eyes, headaches, interruptions of house work, interruptions of school work, waiting around for students, searching for books, pencils, paper, calculators, etc. Yay--let's celebrate!
Of course, we still have to read a few more chapters in Mark Twain's Joan of Arc. And we are working through SAT/ACT prep books throughout the next 2 months. And I still have to finish recording grades, finish out the semester assignments on Home School Tracker, begin the new school year on HST, start planning 2015-2016 school year. And there's always our foreign languages that we try to work on more in the summer because we have more time.
But otherwise, we're done! And not a moment too soon--actually we're done when I thought we would be, even though we tried to finish earlier. It didn't work. But at least these last two weeks (after a two--make that three week break) were not as intense because we were already mostly done.
Now on to the summer projects!
