Subject Change

Today is the day where I change the point of this blog to something people want to read about.
OK. My conversations when I meet people go something like this:
"My name's Amaranthine."
"Oh, that's so cool! What school do you go to?"
"Umm...."
Okay. The truth is, I go to a charter school. Now you may be wondering what that is. In order to avoid explaining, I used to tell people I was homeschooled. A charter school is very similar to homeschool. It's registered at a public school, but "they" send you all the materials in the mail and you get your lessons online. It's K-high school, and we use the program k12 through CAVA.

It's complicated.

Once a week, I used to go to a weekly program that's like a red brick school, called CD. Today was the last day(where we did history reports, remember?) but other than that, I contact other students and teachers through email and a classroom-thingy online thing called Elluminate.
It's cool! They send you free materials, books, and as many computers and printers as you need! And in high school you get your own computer and scanner/printer!
I enjoy it a lot, and in the next few days I will enlighten you on my wonderful adventures charter-schooling.

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhel...

Her Universe

  Before I start, let me just say this. I appreciate what Ashley Eckstein is doing. It's obvious she really cares about and is enthusiastic about her line, and she's using her position to make our days(and wardrobes, apparently) a little more cheerful. However, I don't think Her Universe is the huge movement she expects it to be. The website   talks about how female SW fans have a hard time finding merchandise designed "just for us" and the trials of having to wear either "very girly stuff" or "men's stuff in small sizes."   This post from Club Jade clearly favors and is enthusiastic of Her Universe. Vivenne's comment,(the 6th) says everything more eloquently than I ever could. "However, it’s NOT our turn. We’re NOT getting what they’ve got. I STILL don’t wear Star Wars franchise stuff because there is no way I can afford Her Universe. $30 for a TEE SHIRT? No. No no no. I’ll keep buying the $9.99 shirts for g...
