Third week of January, starting on the Monday of that week.
Fencing: Twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays. Following the MIT courses with maybe whatever extras I can scrounge up elsewhere. Fridays is when I normally exercise, so it'll be a more official extra. I'm adding roller skating to my usual "routine" as well, but it's not going to be considered part of my education, heh.
Ecology & Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary sciences: Wednesdays? I won a big science textbook in a raffle a couple months ago thanks to Treehugger.com, so that'll get me started. I'll have to pick and choose with the MIT courses on this one and see if I can find any other books at the library...and polish it off with scraps I can find on the 'net. Might "test" my knowledge every other week, so I'm going to maybe talk to my Mom about it so she can come up with the tests (it'll help my learning be more efficient).
Economics & Business: Fridays? I've picked up a bunch of books about this recently, so I've something to start with + MIT online courses and what I already observe in the news online.
foreign languages: This one's tougher, there's less resources for me on this, if I pick french my Mom can help...but I'd really wanted Japanese and Latin. I'll put this one on Thursdays, toward the end of the week to give myself extra time to figure out how to do this. Work for this will be memorizing words, grammer, and attempting to write in it while regular study will work on my pronunciation (I'm usually pretty decent at speaking different languages, fortunately...it's just understanding them that I should work on).
Political sciences: THIS should be the least hardest subject for me, though I'll have to be a bit creative in finding books for this. I -should- move past recent events and observe history a little more, I was always a poor study with history...so it's an area I need brushing up on. Perhaps ancient cultures' politics? This is also something I can look through the free MIT courses for. Thursdays.
Urban studies: This stuff's probably gonna be primarily on the internet, and with the MIT courses. Quizzes should be Tuesdays, and I'll do my reading on Mondays.
Writing: This one probably looks deceptively easy to me, but this one's one of the few that I have plenty of materials for. Wednesdays. Maybe write papers on writing heh, which would be set for Thursdays.
The miscellaneous stuff I'll spread out throughout the whole week and leave it up to what I'm feeling up to that day. It'll keep it spontaneous enough for this all not to wear on me too much and make it more fun.
certain things I might try to test my knowledge on by writing papers on it or quiz myself. These tests I think I'll put on Mondays.
I dunno, it doesn't seem like much to me right now...but that might just be because I gave myself until the Third week of January to get started.
Lately all I want to do is sleep -- ever since I stopped working for the SA in fact.
After I start on all this, Mom'll work on buying my books so I can finish high school, so this stuff will probably be added onto that...and THEN it'll seem like alot, heh.
