So, as I hinted in 'Back to School', I had something different for history. I did "Cracking the AP U.S. HISTORY EXAM" {Don't ask}. Mom also took the practice test, just for fun. She did the test, then left to pick up Orli. While she was gone, I did it. She got back after I finished it.
She got 33%.
I got 44%.
Yea. I feel reeeeeel special.

Back to School
Today was a very solemn event, like a funeral, only worse. Today we went back to School. Good bye summer break, good bye freedom.
O.K, so it's not that bad, but you get the picture. Naturally, we were late starting school, as we had to drop Orli {Yes, with an I and not a Y, as Molly so patiently mentioned.} off at the vet, then pick up some breakfast. Most of my school was old, same stuff I did last year. Well, I did a new history thing, but I'll talk about that later.
I forgot how to do my math, but it slowly came back. The problems were really easy, too.
For science I had to color a DNA strand, which almost made me wonder what grade I was really in, 9th or 1st.
On my Hebrew on the Rosetta Stone program, I did pretty good for not having done it in awhile. {In other words I failed dramatically.}

Answers to Mollys Comment on "Orly"
Molly- Really? With an 'I'? Huh. That's interesting.
And, a couple of weeks could mean several months, it all depends on how you look at it.
{To the reader- Can't you tell I'm running out of things to blog about?}

Road Trip!
This September my family {minus dad, who has to work} is going on a several week road trip back east! We're going to a history festival in Omaha, a feast of tabernacles thing in Missouri, and lots of things in between like- The Little Big Horn battle field, Mount Rushmore, Wall SD, to visit Kylie, and visit lots of our extended family in Missouri and Tennessee. We're all really exited, getting the farm ready for the person that's going to 'farm-sit' for us, fixing the car, ect.
We're leaving {I think} on September 12th, the day before Molly's Birthday.

Orly
Today our cat Orlando, or Orly, is having a surgery to remove a really disgusting tumor/growth on his face. He's had it for a few weeks and it got bigger and bigger and bigger.
We all had to wake up at seven to do our chores, then bring him in to the vet. The vet said we should be able to pick him up later in the afternoon. He would have a small hole where the tumor was, but she {the vet} said it shouldn't affect his eating. We're all glad he doesn't have to live with it any more.

Heart Attack
Thursday, while I was out shooting, my dad had a heart attack. Mom drove him to the hospital, and Molly called just about every one we know and asked them to pray, including Mr. Lewis, our family friend who I was out shooting with. He got a phone call from another friend, but he didn't answer because he didn't think it was important. Meanwhile, Molly gets the news that on a scale of 1 to 10 my dads' heart attack was a .1. I still didn't know he had one.
It was around 8:30 when I finally got the news. He had the heart attack at about 6:15.
As I said, it was a mild one, but he had to stay at the hospital over night because it was the policy. We picked him up the next morning, all smiles that he's all right. Praise GOD!

End of Shooting
Last Thursday was the last day of shooting. I missed quite a bit, while I was in Oklahoma, when we had Kelly and Ana here, ect. ect. But Thursday I was able to go. Mr. Lewis picked me up and we drove to Logan, where the gun range is. {My Dad couldn't make it, he was busy, as I'll talk about later.} We got there early to find a spot in the shade {It was almost 100 degrees out side!}. I used Mr. Lewis's AR-15 during the shooting, as I did the week before, instead of the M-1 Garand. After the shooting {and following events} I compared my first and last targets, and I could see a huge improvement. I was pretty shocked. Mr. Lewis said next shooting time he wanted to see all X's. {The X is the very middle of the target.} Fat chance.
