Remember how Noah said he wanted to start school in June? His idea was 2 weeks on vacation, followed by two weeks of "school." And remember how I said "we'll see how long this lasts?"
Three days.
Yep, you read that right: three effing days. So much for his interest in getting a leg-up on his schoolwork this year. Not that I have a problem with his taking a summer vacation. Heck, no! I'm the unschooler around here, so I'd be fine with doing what we do all year round.
But I think that if you're going to set a goal, then you need to...oh, I don't know...work on it, perhaps? Besides, he doesn't do much work (house, yard, or school) any other time of the year. What does he need a vacation from??!!
So all y'all who were impressed a few weeks ago can relax now. Noah is spending his summer doing all the things 13-year-old boys do: chat with buddies, have sleepovers, download music, and play Runescape 'til all hours.
Who says homeschoolers are weird?!

Three f-ing days? Hmmm ... it sounds like Noah and I might be secretly related. I am awesome at setting goals, and I suck at follow through. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets back with the program, setting more goals for himself soon.
BTW, I notice we're both in Hufflepuff (with Paige). The 3 of us will have a lot of fun in the Common Room. :-P
