School Daze

Where did summer go?   Earlier this week, my daughter,( soon to be a high school freshman) had testing over
required summer reading.  Today, she handed in her geometry project.  This is her mobile of shapes required on her list.  She used a broke badminton racket, for the circle; I love how colorful it came out!  She has 3 friends who have dibs on it.    I don't think so, it is mine... lol ;-D  

 We went to the high school to turn it in; School starts tomorrow.   I usually drive her to school when projects are due, but not the first week of school.  The bus driver needs to learn the route.   I am shocked my baby, will start high school.  She is a bit nervous; I said, it is your new home for the next 4yrs.  You have been there, a few times,soon you will wonder, why you were ever nervous and love it~ Do you remember your first day of high school?! 

When I think of Geometry, I think of cooking, shapes, measuring, and let's not forget pie (3.14). When I was in high school,  I was the only girl doing well in Lab Biology and struggling in Geometry.  Most of the class was struggling in Lab Biology.
I think of properties, formulas, the relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces and solids.  Then I think how much of it I hated, except Trig...I loved Trig. I haven't shared my opinion with my daughter. I want her to come to her own conclusion.   Geometry is like high school, lots of points of view, long lines, angles of perspective, the surface is subject to change. Solid is your foundation of family and friends.

   Raw energy  is abound,  like a frayed electrical cord.  House phone and cell phone are a buzz tonight.  Watchcha wearing, are you nervous...


It was kind of sad, when we rounded the street corner on our bikes and saw the school bus in our cul-de-sac. I look forward to a bit of quiet, but not to much.   I like the stir, the loudness, the laughter, the chatter

 in the house. I enjoy my kid's friends and their energy.  I know this will end someday and it will be different, I will have to scale back.  I will find it awkward, just like Geometry.
