A Day in the Life of a Homeschool Junior<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

6:51 a.m.-<\/strong> I set my alarm for 6:51 then press the snooze button when it rings, which allows me to get up at 7 a.m. I find waking up nine minutes earlier helps me organize my thoughts for the day and fully awaken. After getting ready for the day, I get out my to-do list journal.<\/p>\n

7:20 a.m.-<\/strong>\u00a0I write down all the things I have to accomplish that day including schoolwork, Mass, babysitting or tutoring jobs, and free time projects. I can see exactly what I have going on that day and remember the little tasks.<\/p>\n

7:30 a.m.-<\/strong> After making my list, I usually start off with Religion, which currently\u00a0is reading parts of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Usually after this subject, I move on to Literature, History, or Science.<\/p>\n

9:00 a.m.-<\/strong>\u00a0I head downstairs, put away the dishes and brew some tea. Then I\u2019ll sit down with it and eat breakfast and unwind for a few minutes while taking a short break from school. If I have any laundry to put in the washer, I get that started after breakfast.<\/p>\n

11:30 a.m.-<\/strong> I continue with school until about 11:30 if it\u2019s Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. At this time I get ready for church and head off to noon Mass. After Mass, I come home and make lunch. I\u2019ll also transfer my wet clothes to the dryer as needed.<\/p>\n

1:00 p.m.-<\/strong>\u00a0Come home from Mass and eat lunch. After lunch, I will continue with school until around 2:30. Then, I\u2019ll run off to the gym for an hour to de-stress and knock out P.E. After coming home, I’ll shower\u00a0and finish any last minute school or testing prep for the SAT or ACT.<\/p>\n

4:30 p.m.-<\/strong> If I\u2019m making dinner, I\u2019ll head back to the kitchen and prep the meal. If not, I\u2019ll finish up other duties and sit down to dinner later. After dinner, I spend some time cleaning up my room and putting things away from the school day.<\/p>\n

7:30 p.m.-<\/strong> Usually the rest of my evening is free unless I happen to have more schoolwork or am babysitting that night. Otherwise, I might chat with friends, read a book, knock out a few chores, or attend my acting class.<\/p>\n

While high school is a busy time, we have the same amount of hours as everyone else. If you organize your day properly and stay focused, you\u2019ll find you have more time than you realized. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
