(Almost) Ready for Cycle One

Today was orientation for CC - our first day is next Tuesday! I'm incredibly relieved that today is over. I think it went pretty well - if the worst that happened is that I announced grades with classes (big whoops! I talk too much to fill space when I'm nervous) & that I wore a shirt that shows sweat (now I can add another reason why I don't usually wear antiperspirant deodorant: it doesn't work even when I do wear it!) I suppose it wasn't as bad as it could be.

I've spent hours & hours prepping & planning for today & these first six weeks. I already can't wait for next year just so I'll be able to prepare better. My living room has been a complete & utter disaster. And, because my "spare" time has been going into this the rest of the house is a disaster, too.

Keepin' it real, folks.

I'm very excited about the new Classical Acts & Facts History cards! They're wonderful! I was also very excited when all of my page protectors and binders for storing the cards arrived.

I have one more thing I'm excited about: my pinterest inspired boards for our weekly memory work. We have six main subjects in which we memorize a piece of information each week as well as our timeline cards (Classical Acts & Facts History Cards). I used 6 small white boards and then sticky velcro to attach the page protectors to the wall to hold our timeline cards for the week. I love this!
