Homework galore...

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:18:05 GMT

One day left in the second week of school. I am ready for the weekend... I wish it were a 3 day weekend again! I have so many things nagging at me to do them, that I don't even know what to start with. And this school year has barely started. I'm tired of being stressed all the time - and it certainly can't be good for me. Group projects are going to be the end of me this semester... eek. I have so many of them, it is absurd. And we are working on one now, and my group is just not doing anything. NOTHING. They won't respond, they won't talk about it... nothing. This is a huge project, due in less than 2 weeks. I'm trying to do the first part, but I have to find an article about a certain thing, and well, I've spent about 10 hours (I'm not kidding) so far looking, and I haven't found anything suitable. There are 4 other people in this group, shouldn't I be getting some help here?! *sigh*

Anyhow, life goes on. I need to get to my pile of homework - so I guess I'll get to that.

SUPPORT HOMESCHOOL FREEDOM IN CALIFORNIA

HOMESCHOOLING IN CALIFORNIA IS UNDER ASSAULT!

The California Court of Appeals has ruled that parents without teaching credentials don’t have the constitutional right to homeschool their children.

This ruling is a very serious matter, but there are legal options still open to pursue in the courts. Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) is working to overturn this decision in the courts.

If, however, the ruling isn't overturned and the law is changed, it would then become illegal for parents without a teaching credential to homeschool in California.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

** TAKE ACTION **
SIGN THE PETITION TO HELP OVERTURN THE RULING
https://www2.hslda.org/Registrations/DepublishingCaliforniaCourtDecision/

BE IN PRAYER ABOUT THIS ISSUE

INFORM YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s important to note that at this time, no laws have changed. Currently, this is a ruling and not a change to state law, so homeschoolers may continue to homeschool legally as they have in the past.

Please sign the petition to overturn the ruling and allow parents the constitutional right to homeschool their children. Anyone can sign the petition; you don't have to be a homeschooling family and you don't have to be a member of HSLDA.

Please sign the petition today and be in prayer about the situation! Thank you for your support!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER SUPPORTS HOMESCHOOLING:
"Every California child deserves a quality education and parents should have the right to decide what’s best for their children. Parents should not be penalized for acting in the best interests of their children's education. This outrageous ruling must be overturned by the courts and if the courts don't protect parents' rights then, as elected officials, we will.”

Calling all writers!! (or want to be writers!) Or anyone who has a story to share!

Thu, 29 Nov 2007 16:56:44 GMT

Diamond Dust e-zine needs submissions for our December issue!!!! Our theme is "Magical Moments". If you have a special moment or story that you could share, let us know. It can be a whole story, or it can just be a few sentences describing one special moment. You don't have to be an exceptional writer to share you story. Even a few sentences works for this! I am trying to put together a section for special moments or descriptions of a heart warming experiences. If they are Christmas oriented, great, if not, that's cool too!

If you just want to write something short and post it here, awesome. Or you can send it to

diamondeditor@yahoo.com

Pass the word on!! We need as many stories as possible!

On one last note, I am also looking for one or two sentence definitions of "magical" or "special" times.

You can say -

A magical moment is...

or start it however you want. Take a minute and write what it means to you!

Hello! I have come to post my rare update! Finals week shall be upon me, and I shall find myself buried in books studying! Yippie. Well, I guess it might pay to do that.. If I can get good grades. :D Time shall tell! I am very tired.. as it is late. I need to hit the books tomorrow, so I'd better get some rest!

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 05:36:36 GMT

I feel that I should make some kind of entry here, but I have no Idea what to say. So this probably won't be long, unless I think of something. I'm tired. I think I want to read a book. Time changes tonight.. so I have an extra hour to do something. Or maybe I should sleep. Who knows!
I went to the mall this afternoon, and acomplished pretty much nothing. So much for that.. I need to get started on my Christmas shopping. Yeah.. that's about all. I have been searching for a college to transfer to, but that is a whole other story. I think that will have to wait for another day.

I think today is "sick" day at our house.. lol Laura had her wisdom teeth out this morning, so she is still under the influence of whatever they give you.
My right hand at times feels like it is burning up...my thumb is taped up and wrapped. I can't do much with that hand at the moment, which is icky, cause I do most things with that hand! It should be ok by tomorrow though :P. I'll live! otherwise that... not much else is going on at the moment.
