Study, study, study

It snowed a bit last night, so I did a tiny bit of shovelling this morning. It felt nice being outside.

Our schedule's a bit off today due to all the studying K has to catch up on. K skipped leisure skating. I didn't make it to church or any exercise. Maybe I can go for a walk later this evening. Two people this week remarked on my weight loss. Ten pounds in not dramatic, but it's noticeable. For me the most noticeable change is in my healthier, more selective eating habits.

L made him some great review questions based on the teacher's review sheet. I believe the history is finally sinking in! We did some science this morning and we have to work on a bit of math later. He's having his history exam in the morning then they'll have a bit of outside time, then they'll head off in a bus to an arena to support some of his classmates playing hockey. That evening he has to study for the Tuesday Science quiz.

L said her math teacher is entering her into a math competition and her art teacher is entering her into a local art competition. She received a congratulatory letter from the school's headmaster on achieving excellent academic results last term. She gets these every year, I hope she can keep it up. She's been watching and playing a lot of tennis. She has a great relationship with the tennis teacher. I guess being a good student extends into all facets of life. L likens tennis to chess, she says it's quite the thinking and strategic game, who knew? (I'm totally not into sports)It's also a great way to keep fit. M just took her to her tennis match.
