What Do I Want To Do With My Life?

Hey girls!

What do you want to do with your life? 
Now I'm in 10th grade and I need to be deciding what I would like to spend the rest of my life doing career wise. 

When I was little, I went through a ton of ideas of what I would like to do. I considered everything to a midwife or doula, to a baker, and even to a Wal-Mart cashier (this was when I was super little though. I loved the idea of scanning stuff. ;P)!
I've narrowed it now quite a lot, and I know the basics of what I want to do...I would like to work with animals.

In the next couple of years, age 16-17, I am hoping to do some volunteer work. I know I would like to volunteer for our local zoo. 
I also know that I would like to work/live in Alaska. I am considering either working as a marine biologist or a zoologist. 

Lately I have been giving my career a lot of thought, because I need to be planning where I would like to go to college, what kind of degrees I would like to work for, that kind of stuff. 
I will probably go to college for 6-8 years working for a doctorate degree. 
I will probably go to a couple of local colleges for my first 2-4 years, and then I am wanting to go to a college in Alaska for the other 2-4 years, working for a doctorate degree.


What do you want to do with your life?
Any questions or comments?

My Day in Pictures #1: School Day

Hey girls! It's time for my first My Day in Pictures post! This one is just of my schoolwork that I do everyday, like my curriculums and schedule. 

I start by getting up at 7, and having breakfast at 7:20. 

Then we start school at 8. Every subject period is 40 minutes.

This is my school table where I do most of my work!

For my language arts, I wrote a story, so I don't really have a picture for that.

And I also don't have a  picture of my science because I watched a video today. 

 

I just took a picture of this because it looks cool, haha. ;)
It looks like the sun is ginormous.

 

I don't have coffee everyday, but I decided to have some today. That's my creamer. It's delicious!

 

Here's my math program! I do it on the computer. It's called Teaching Textbooks. 

 

Next is Spanish! I take Rosetta Stone.

 

I'm going to be taking SAT at the end of the school year, so I'm studying every school day for it. (Yeah, I know it's a PSAT study guide, but I'm taking the PSAT sometime too.

 

Here is my Geography/History curriculum. It's actually really interesting! It packs a ton of information into a small section. Right now I'm learning about South America. 

 

This pictures a bit blurry, but you can still read it. This is my elective for the year. Right now it's really easy, but it's lengthy problems. 

 

And of course I have to throw in some adorable pics of my cats! ;) 

This one is Jasper.

And this one is Alice!

Did you like it?

How do your school days work?

Have a sparkly day!

Wintry Drinks and Treats Exchange Sign Up...Yes already!! ;)

Hey girls!
Yes..I know it's really early to be starting sign ups for the winter drinks and treats exchange, BUT...I want to give everybody a little extra time to sign up so everyone who wants to join will have a chance. ;)

This time, instead of emailing me, I've made a form for you to sign up in. It makes it so much simpler. :)
So here's how the wintry drinks and treats exchange works. I'll give you a girl to send your wintry treats to, but you'll be receiving wintry treats from a different girl. That way you get to know to people. For the wintry drinks, I'd suggest something like hot cocoa packets or special flavours of hot cocoa, or apple cider. But other wintry drinks work too! And for wintry treats, I'm thinking things like candy canes or cookies of sorts. 
I'm thinking everybody should try to send at least one wintry drink and one wintry treat, and then anything extra you may like to add. ;)
I'm not exactly sure yet when sign up ends, probably early to mid November. 

Sign up link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Mix8geGa0veD1EIojfMmiy8am_SUF1ObPxvzbMCljpA/viewform?usp=send_form

Do you have questions or comments?
Let me know!
And please share! If you have a friend you think might be interested, let them know! ;)
I can't wait! This'll be fun! ;)
Have a sparkly day!
~Katie

P.S I'll be adding the sign up link to every few posts so that it doesn't get lost in my posts, and people just forget about it. ;P

New Series Starting! ;)

Hey girls! I'm starting a couple new series!!! 

The first one is my Autumn Outfit Series. I won't be starting this one immediately. I'll probably start it next month sometime, once I start wearing my autumn/wintry outfits. ;)

I'm not sure how often I'll be posting a new outfit, but I already have a few in mind that I want to do. :) 

Here's the picture I'll be putting on my Autumn Outfit Series Posts. 

And the next series is My Day in Pictures. It's pretty simple. I'll choose a day every once in awhile and just take a random photo every hour or so. ;) It sounds really fun!


                                 And this is the picture I'll be using for My Day in Pictures Posts. 

There ya have it! Do they sound cool? 
Have a sparkly day!

My Life Lately #1

Hey girls!
How are you doing?
I have decided to start posting a bit more on my life and what's going on. 
Right now, nothing really exciting is happening. 
First off, don't forget that tea exchange sign up ends soon! If you haven't signed up and are interested in joining us, sign up Here. ;)

How many of you girls have started school back up? I'm sure most of you have by now. :) 
I started up the first week of August, and let me tell you, it's been kinda rough. I HATE geometry. I've working really hard on it though. I've been enjoying school, but the math work has been really hard. Speaking of which, I need to get to work on more of it. :0
What math are you doing? (Algebra, Geometry, etc.) 

My P.E class starts back up this Wednesday, which I'm super excited about! It's a homeschool group that meets every Wednesday for, well, P.E! Me and my friend have decided to coordinate our outfits for the first day. We're going to go for a cat-theme. ;) (My space kitty leggings, and kitty t-shirts!) Then we're going to Taco Bell afterwards! I love that place. ;)

Do you go to a co-op? Or a homeschool group?

Well, this post is a bit short, but I have to get back started on math. :P
Wish me luck!

Have a sparkly day!
