Where have I been all this time? The Past Months and Future Plans (Part 2)

Part 2 -

Hello everyone,

Let me continue on from my last, very long post. What are my plans now that I am homeschooled? Well, I will continue on with Minecraft Monday starting on the 20th of this month because I am even more

Minecraft Monday will be started again on the 20th of this month

into Minecraft than when I first started this blog. I now do mods, new servers, new hardcore and survival worlds, new builds, and all sorts of cool stuff. For Minecraft Monday, I plan to do a video with a post most of the time. Along with that, I think I will be starting up an actual YouTube channel directly related to Minecraft. But I cannot do that until I get a video camera, which should be soon. So until then, Minecraft Monday will be a post with plenty of pictures.

Along with that, I plan to do "Into the Portal of the Past to (location here)". My family and I go Geocaching every weekend. We go to some really cool, historic locations in Lincoln County and nearby areas. So what I am going to do is for Monday and Tuesday I will research on my favorite location we visited that weekend. Then I will find everything I can on that area and add that to the pictures I would have taken over the weekend. Then, on Wednesday, I will combine all the found information, some cool

things about the Geocache area, and pictures to create a "Into the Portal of the Past to (location here)" post. These should typically be on Wednesdays, unless research takes longer than planned.

Then for Tuesdays and Thursdays, I will have free-post days where I will post whatever I think is good for that time. And if I have enough time, I will post on the weekends and Friday as well. But those are the days my family are typically busy or Geocaching.

Also, since the time has passed, I have a few new things to share:
First of all, I am working on Book 2 to the Hero's Prophecy Series. I don't know when it will be done, but I just started it. I will keep you all updated on how that is going.
Secondly, I am working on a website that goes with the series. It is going to have some really cool information on the series, Heroes, Enemies, a shop, a blog related only to the series, and even some personality quizzes like: "What THP Character are you?". I will share the link on here once the website is done. I still have to add more pictures and finish the "About the Author" page. Also, the shop won't be up for a while since the series is not done. But it will include all sorts of cool stuff. 

So, now I have made by return from Someplace, and I plan to stick around. My next post probably will not be until Monday, so be prepared! I know this post was long, and I would be pretty shocked if you read it all, but I doubt I even said everything I had planned. But I guess that is what happens when you quit blogging for what? Over 7 months? Well, I guess I deserve that. But I am back, either way. And I have some really cool things planned, so stick around.

Thanks for reading both Part 1 and 2, if you did!

Where have I been all this time? The Past Months and Future Plans (Part 1)

 Part 1 -

Hello everyone,

I am sorry for not posting for so long. But I have some reasons which this post will talk about. To get started, let's just say I have quiet an... adventure since being gone. Here is how:

A picture that describes my series

First off, you might remember I was writing a series called The Hero's Prophecy. Well, I have completely wrote and edited Book 1. Now all I have to do is finish some touch-ups and have someone else edit it for me. The accomplishment of Book 1 has been really important to me and it has taken a lot of hard time. Not to mention I now have a lot of people wanting to read it and most of those people don't even know what the book is about!

But I know what you all must be wondering, if you read my blog in the past. That question is probably: Where have you been?!" Well, that is a long story, but it is a story that must be answered. Now, let me get started:
"

Since I last posted, which was last year in October, I have moved two times. I went from Airway Heights to Spokane, and then to Harrington, WA which is where I currently live. But no worries, we won't be moving anytime soon since my family bought a house here in Harrington.

Yes, you might have noticed I slowly started to fade away in posting. Then when I was completely gone. That was mainly due to me just working so hard and long that my interest in blogging faded. So now I will make it my goal not to post multiple times a day every day like last time. It will be more balanced instead.

Me and Katie at a Geocache location near Harrington

After I "faded away" I moved to Spokane. I was still being homeschooled in Spokane but we only lived there a short time. Just a month or two later we moved to Harrington, which is where I live now. Harrington is an extremely small - but great - town of about 400 people. It is located in Washington, and is about an hour and half away from Spokane if I remember correctly.

When I got to Harrington, Katie and I decided to go to school. My class then was only 7 kids. Soon into 2015, my class got a few other kids. Currently, it is up to 10 kids, not counting me. I had considered restarting my blog again, but being in school would not work. For one, I was not an unschooler anymore, so it does not match with my blog. Secondly, I just did not have enough time. With 2 or more hours of homework, being in tennis (but only for a short time due to the lack of time to study for tests and work on homework), FFA, and just school in general took up all my day. I would be lucky to get an hour of free time if you add on chores and helping around the house.

Then I discovered that I wanted to do a Computer Science career in the future and go to Evergreen State College in Olympia. But with me being in school, I had no time to focus on Computer Science. Plus, considering how Evergreen teaches, unschooling is a lot like it.

That is why I left Harrington High school and I am now unschooled. In fact, I officially left today. But, as I will explain in the last paragraph, I will be taking an Agriculture class at Harrington for the rest of 8th grade. Plus I plan to take 1 to 2 classes each year throughout high school which will probably include more Agriculture classes, Spanish, and P.E. 

So why do I keep on saying both homeschooling and unschooling? Which am I doing now? Well, I call it homeschooling to most people because that is a more common term used. But technically, it is called unschooling. I will be doing Teaching Textbooks for math, and we are still planning everything else.

For the rest of 8th grade, I will be doing Agriculture at Harrington High school, 1-3 art projects depending on how big they are, and a weekly blog post on a Geocaching location we go to by researching the area in-depth and then writing about it which would count for history. I will also be doing an online Minecraft class related to Scientists and what they did. Here is the link: Minecraft Homeschool. Plus I will be taking the Teaching Textbooks Algebra II placement test and use that as a study guide. Once I can pass the Algebra II placement test, then I will get the Teaching Textbooks Algebra II and use that for 9th grade. Plus I can start early on it, which is always nice.

To be Continued!
