Oddly, the answer is the same either way. I haven't had either jelly or jell-o for a while. But I do like jell-o, if it's not too sweet. Ever tried it frozen? I'm not sure if it works with the gelatine based one, since I have the seaweed one more often, but freezing it makes for an interesting texture. No, but that does sound interesting. |

Ah, you're homeschooled! That's so nice. ^_^ I've always thought homeschooling was rather neat. It's not done here, and it probably wouldn't have benefitted me much because it would have given me an excuse to stay home even more than I would (which I would have loved, but maybe wouldn't have been so good). But... yeah. Then you should try it. =D xD Last year, I was almost constantly getting up at 6. And I want to go back to doing that. Awesome =D I hope you achieve that again. ^^ Waking up early feels nice because the days seem to last more. |

Which is why I like being homeschooled. I can get up early just because I want to, and get to watch the sun rise. Though I think it's rising at a more normal time now, which is nice.

It's not done here, and it probably wouldn't have benefitted me much because it would have given me an excuse to stay home even more than I would (which I would have loved, but maybe wouldn't have been so good). But... yeah. Then you should try it. =D Homeschooling seems to be a mainly American/Canadian thing.. there's no such thing in Malaysia, and even in Australia, it's not as common. It does sound rather neat though, and it probably works better in America than say, Malaysia since in Malaysia everyone has to sit for a governmental exam at 17, failing that means you're relegated to low-paying jobs for life. xD .. there's not much chance for the non-academically inclined there. |

It also means that my timesense get messed with. Which can be fun, but usually ends up confusing me. Especially in summer, when all the days can blend together. |

*nods* That's what I meant. I have a general problem drawing cats in General, especially when they are standing up. I have a general problem drawing animals in general. XD I think I could use more observation... but I'm usually limited to reference pics. Still, it's nice. ^_^ I usually draw from memory but if it's something dificult I use reference pics. Sadly, you can only get so much out of a reference pic. *nods* That's what I meant. I have a general problem drawing cats in General, especially when they are standing up. Oh good. Cats standing up are a pain, true. A grooming cat would be more annoying, though. And I haven't really tried either of those. I have never tried doing a grooming cat but I have done a few cats standing up or running. They didn't turn out well. >> |

Wow, I'd feel so pressured taking that exam. ><;; I think homschooling is controlled, though, isn't it? They have to see your progress and make sure you're learning everything you must know... I don't know. |

It's quite interesting to watch them, though. |

No, but that does sound interesting. Freezing things is awesome. Among the items I used to freeze (not necessarily for consumption >>  : Grapes, oranges, wet paper towels, bubble mix, soda, leaves, hot chocolate. |

I don't know. It depends, I think. You can use a homeschool program, which basically teaches you the same things as school would, or you can just homeschool as essentially a private school, which apparently frees you from quite a bit of that stuff. *shrug* That's what I remember my mom saying, at least. Or something like that. |

It's quite interesting to watch them, though. They would have to since they have to reach every part of their body with their tongue. The best part is probably when they groom their face with their paws. There is just something in there with is quite interesting and a bit cute. ^^ |

D= I can't draw any animals from memory though, since I don't have pets and don't get to see any often. =( I don't have any pets but I'm lucky enough to live nest to the Botanic Gardens so there are plenty of birds here, even a few birds of prey. =D Having a photographic memory helps when you are drawing from memory.
