As many of you know, I this year is going to be a huge change for me. I am going to a private school and bidding homeschooling goodbye. This decision has been one of the hardest we have had to make concerning my future. Going to this school will offer a better education that I could hope to achieve on my own as well as help preparing for college. The down side is that since this decision was very last minute all the plans that I had made for homeschooling and tutorials have crashed to the ground, leaving me feeling like an uprooted traitor. So, I am getting ready for a very busy school year. I have school from 8:30-3:15 every week day and then either work of have some activity till about 6:00 each night. I then have dinner as well as homework to finish that night. Saturdays consist of a dance class in the morning then work till 4:00. Sundays will be beautiful, glorious days of rest :) Hope to be alive enough to continue to post but we shall see.

It is what a man does with them- not what they do to him- that is the true test of his mettle." -Theodore Roosevelt

Quotes from Tacitus

I have recently finished reading The Annals of Imperial of Rome by Tacitus and have found a few quotes from it.

"Yet even apparently insignificant events such as these are worth examination. For they often cause major historical developments."

"For things unnoticed are forgotten; resentment confers status upon them."

"The senate ordered his books to be burnt by the aediles. But they survived, first hidden and later republished. This makes one deride the stupidity of people who believe that today's authority can destroy tomorrow's memories."
