We are 7 weeks into this journey and I have to say that it is more than just an education, it's a Lifestyle. My (our) life is much more structured and because of the schooling schedule it forces the rest of my life into a pretty strict schedule. All this is very good for Sarah and me.
There are days, many days, when I feel like we didn't get enough accomplished and then I look at the lesson plan and realize..hey not so bad. I am understanding that you don't have to be doing a worksheet or sitting still to really be learning. As the weeks go by, I am becoming marginally more relaxed. I am hoping that I can begin to have a little more fun with it because I know that is possible. As a child i never thought learning was fun. I thought of it as a necessary evil..just get through it, pass the test, get it over with. The content was never important or interesting to me. I want Sarah to not just go through he motions of learning but to really enjoy and understand. I don't want it to be a waste of time. Hopefully this new way of learning will spark an interest in us both.
