so what curriculum do you guys use? i use sunlight.

Haha, that's what I used!! I also was a morning person (but not THAT early)

When I HS'ed, we used Saxon, Writing Strands, Apologia, Prentice Hall and McGraw-Hill. We liked to use different things for different subjects.

Now as a college freshman, I'm forced to use Stewart for math and some other textbooks I don't particularly like.

I'm also trying to get up earlier. For me, it's tough to actually get out of bed, even at 9AM. I just want to sleep more. So I've been trying to drag myself out before 9 and get used to that. Now I'm waking up earlier than before and getting more things done everyday. It's nice to actually be awake for 16 hours instead of only 12-14 hours out of the day, lol.

yeah, same here on the subjects thing. the curiculum is just who sells everything to you i guess. has anyone here used/ or is using the "exploring creation with..." science books? i think they are the most amazing things ever.

16 hours is indeed a wonderful amount of time to be awake. and somehow working for two hours early in the morning seems to feel just as productive as working for like 4 hours after the sun goes up.

Yeah, I used those Science books for 3 of my 4 High School years. I enjoyed reading them very much and particularly enjoyed the Biology book, which taught me a lot about Creationism vs. Evolution. I think Dr. Jay Wile explains the subjects very well.

I slept in a little today (it's almost 10 and I just got up) but only because I stayed up til 1AM. I had a bad habit of staying up til 2 or 3 in the morning during the summer and my body is still getting used to falling asleep earlier and waking up earlier.

Dr. Jay iz lik teh gr8est teacher eva!

No, but seriously, I enjoyed using Apologia. Even Saxon was cool from time to time.

Wow, it stinks getting up early. I still want to sleep in when the alarm goes off at 9:30. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
