I consider myself to be a bit more on the lazy side when it comes to working, but my sister seems a lot like your daughter - she scares me a bit with the amount she studies. I will have to tell her your cup analogy! :-)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113180708896008365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-50021372473684508692015-01-16T22:13:10.876-06:002015-01-16T22:13:10.876-06:00GOOD LUCK WITH MIDTERMS!

Whoops.)<br /><br />That is a spectacularly smart think to do - writing posts in advance. I did that last semester, but not this one, because I was lazy. Oh well.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113180708896008365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-14688514399591039062015-01-12T16:51:07.166-06:002015-01-12T16:51:07.166-06:00Summer break has always been a mystery to me!
By ...Summer break has always been a mystery to me!<br /> By some miracle one year I did have it, but when it was time to start school again I felt like I barely knew how to hold a pencil. Blogging does eat up a lot of the time I could spend writing so I'm going to try to balance the two more this year. Scheduling posts would probably help!<br /> I hope your writing goes well and inspiration flows!

My daughter says she feels ...Good for you, Sophia! My daughter says she feels at loose ends when she had complete free time, so I think that you're onto something with regard to homeschoolers. She was so happy to get back work last week! I personally think she does need some downtime. For example, I think of it as filling a cup and the cup will overflow if you keep pouring, but if you give it time to settle, you can start pouring again and things go in easier. <br /><br />With traditional school, I think you are learning a few things intensely, whereas with homeschooling you can change it up ....... you're still learning, but it's more natural and the brain is much more receptive to that type of learning.<br /><br />In any case, all the best for figuring out what works best for you. And have a great semester!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-67763986808743019292015-01-12T14:07:42.299-06:002015-01-12T14:07:42.299-06:00I'm still in high school, so I don't have ...I'm still in high school, so I don't have any experience with college. I do have mid terms coming up, which is just...wonderful. However, in the beginning of the month, I wrote all my month's blog posts in one huge burst, so I don't have to worry about that while I study and try to edit a novel for the first time. Also, the only reading challenge I'm doing is the Goodreads reading challenge and my own Bible study (which isn't quite a reading challenge). I've been getting an urge to do some more novel writing, as well, and all that blog scheduling definitely helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
