Alright. I remember when I used to post about a subject to talk about and I'd write a nice long post about that subject. Well, I really miss doing that especially since I don't have much time to blog anymore and I'm just posting things about my life and I think it's pretty selfish of me, since you guys probably don't want to read about a weird, chubby, Asian girl who is, for some reason obsessed with Owl City. Anyway, I just thought that I'd maybe talk about something that's been bothering me for quite a while. And, it's about that way I do stuff. Kinda.
Look. I'm homeschooled, and a lot of people have something against homeschoolers or something. Like, okay, here's the thing. One day, I got a friend request from this guy who I kinda just met somewhere, somehow. So, I accept his friend request and immediately starts a chatbox, and he goes like, "oh, so where do you do your schooling?" or something like that and I say, "Oh, I'm homeschooled."
Then there's this dramatic pause and he's just like, "Really? cause I heard homeschooling sucks and that homeschoolers are weird and, don't you have any friends?" And he's kinda just like ranting things that he heard about homeschooling and its system. And then he resumes talking about me
(as a homeschooler) being weird and quiet. And I say something like, "Well, I am quiet, and weird. And I do like being alone sometimes. But I only talk when I feel like something needs to be said." And then he's like "You're so weird. Sorry, but I think I'm going to unfriend you."
Well. That's really nice and gentleman-like, isn't it?
Sometimes, I don't understand why people have this mindset on homeschoolers. I mean, we're normal people like the other guys who go to public schools, it's just that we sometimes think differently and behave differently but, is that going to magically separate us from the other guys? The "normal" ones?
I'm just thinking out loud here, because my relatives, they're always asking me and my mom about school, thinking that me or my mom are going to break down and go "Oh, I can't take this anymore! Homeschooling is just horrible!"
Homeschooling is difficult, trust me, but, I love it! Some people give me weird looks when I say that because well, my bedroom is literally my classroom. And sometimes my friends from church ask me "Don't you ever get lonely?"
But I just say 'no' because I really like the extra privacy. It's like, no one can try to talk to you in your classroom if you're the only one there. And for some reason I find it easier to study on my own. But right now, I can tell that my relatives don't exactly agree with the idea of me and my siblings being homeschooled. Because they think it's going to be hard getting me into college or university but, homeschooling has actually helped me find my hidden talents. Kinda. If it weren't for homeschooling, I never would've become interested in writing, which I discovered is something that I devote myself to, and if it weren't homeschooling right now, I never would've discovered my love for the language arts. And I probably wouldn't be spending hours cooped up in my bedroom trying to perfect my writing drafts or writing posts on my blog like this. I also think that blogging has helped me improve my writing skills and use of different words and all that. So, if you have an interest in writing, start blogging. It can really do wonders.
I also have more time to browse books and open up to classics! Which is one type of book genre that I just really, really like. Ann, Shawn and Ian recently got me Persuasion by Jane Austen for my birthday, but I haven't started it quite yet, due to me reading other books which I think I should read first. Especially since my curriculum emphasizes on reading. A lot of reading. You can say that I'm a very introverted person. And well. Yeah. I hope I'll have more time to post random rants like this one and well.... yep.
KTHXBYE.
