A Bit More of Little House

I'm probably just going to ramble on.  We're still watching Little House.  We finished it and then picked out random episodes we wanted to watch.  Today we watched some interviews and that was interesting.  We're watching it now, too.

I feel like there's so much I should be doing.  I have seminary, which kind of kills my brain for the rest of the day because I'm still not used to it.  I'll get it down eventually.  I have school and all my online BYU classes that I'm still trying to figure out.  This is the first year my mom has ever homeschooled a high schooler, especially with a charter school and she's trying to figure it all out, too.  She's apologized several times, "I'm so sorry you have to be the guinea pig."  We'll get that down eventually, too.  I've been trying to decorate my room since we moved in.  I've just now bought the paint for the frames, so hopefully I'll get it done soon.  I haven't read my book in days.  It's not the best book anyway.  It's Eragon, the one written by a teenager.  It's a good book I guess and there are a lot of questions that I want answered, but the characters really just aren't anything special and that is always what keeps me going in a book.  So without good characters it's not much of a book.  

Well, I don't really know what to say more.  We're still watching Little House and I'm very distracted so, till next time.

Little House, mostly

As usual it has been a while since I've blogged and I don't know what to write first.  We went to Disneyland for the last time for a while, but I can't remember much of it now.  I'll remember and post about it later, but this week my life has been seminary and Little House.  I started seminary this year and have reported to church every morning at 5:45 a.m. this week.  It has been quite an adjustment that is still in progress, we're not quite adjusted yet. :) Mom and I have gotten into more fights this week than we have in a long time.  We thought we could just go to bed earlier, but we're thinking we might need to start taking naps.  Before seminary I could never take naps during the day, but now I could basically fall asleep anytime, anywhere.  Everyday I force myself up for seminary, come home, do school and anything I have to do in order for Mom to let me watch Little House, then I watch it as long as I can.  Like I've said before we have been watching it all in order and now we're almost done.  We've finished the last season just this past week and the last three movies.  There's actually a lot of the last season that I haven't seen.  Pretty much all I remember is Jeb saving Jenny (I ought to, he saves her two different times :) and Laura's baby boy dying.  It's actually a pretty good season.  So, we finished Little House yesterday and I have been kind of depressed since.  I was crying all day yesterday and sobbing during the movies.  It made me sad that we don't get to say good bye to James and Cassandra (or Carrie and Grace, but who cares about them?) and Albert dies and (I know, total bad grammar with all of these ands) they blow up the town and Jeb grows up and his and Jenny's romance completely disappear in the last three movies.  In the one where Albert gets cancer all the kids are hiking up a hill and I said, "Don't you think it would be fitting if Jenny twisted her ankle or something and Jeb had to carry her?"  I think it would be a nice way to rekindle the romance a bit.  I was just sobbing in the one about Albert and the last one when they blow up the town.  I was soo sad.  We even watched the one about Albert twice because Mom left and then wanted to watch it again when she came back and I sobbed both times.  I get very enthralled in the movies I watch.  I've cried during Bonanza, Harry Potter and a lot more.  But Little House really made me sad.  It all happened so fast.  We said good bye to Charles, Caroline, Albert and James and welcomed Jenny, Jeb and Jason and then we said good bye to them too after only a week!  I felt so lonely last night.  I was soo sad.  It was bad.  I can't even describe it.  I walked around the house not knowing what to do with myself and cried whenever anyone from Little House was mentioned.  I even put on my Gryffindor scarf to give me some comfort.  I'm wearing it now, too.  So, Little House is over and we probably won't be watching it as much.  Now I'll focus on seminary and school.

By the way, you need to post people!  And comment!  Where did everyone go?  It's like you all disappeared!  Anyway, love you all!
