School

Today was the start of the new school year for Katherine and Peter. Katherine is a senior, yay! It's actually a little freaky that my oldest child is in her last year of school. She is still working on finalizing her course schedule. She was put in a creative writing class, which she did not register for or even list as an alternate. The first class today confirmed what she suspected about the class (you guessed it, lots of writing), so she's trying to ditch it for a less intense elective experience, or at least something she can get honors credit for. The other classes she has are European history, statistics, and "lifetime sports", which is basically bowling, tennis, golf, etc.

Peter is taking algebra, earth science, civics and economics, and something called business and personal finance. He is bummed because he wanted a phys ed elective, not business. He had listed the business course as an alternate last spring when he registered, though, so I figure he can't be too surprised that he got it.

I don't have a picture of them. When Emily has her first day of kindergarten, I'll take a group pic of all three of them.
