At It Again!

Every little (or not so little!) while, I get ambitious and decide to do some studying.  Not that

it is NECESSARY, but simply to keep my mind just that much more occupied.  Well, as the

title of this post says, I'm at it again!

So what am I studying at this time?

Social Studies/History

American Colonial period

English Grammar

(always a favorite subject of mine)

See this post

Math

Elementary Algebra

Science and Nature

Botany

Foreign Languages

French

(I studied French in high school,

but I'd like to refresh my memory

and then advance.)

Latin

(classical Latin)

English Literature

"Pride and Prejudice"

(a complete list of the books

I'm using may be found at the

end of my book list.)

I know that this seems like a long list, but I'm being

careful not to overdo it.  I'm spreading my studies

out over the course of each day, and allowing

myself long breaks between subjects.
