[Re-Plug] Learning Basic Domestic Skills On My Own

Normally I would pay to have clothing alterations done for me–or better yet, throw out the old, crappy ones and replace them with newer and better ones.

Today, forContinue reading “Re-Plug: What I Connected to Today”

What I Re-plugged into Today

This is a picture of Khan Academy. It helped me a lot in Biology I and II. Dr. Khan makes really helpful videos about numerous science concepts. This is the math portion. When you sign up for an account, they treat it like a game. You get points for watching videos, and you “unlock” achievements.Continue reading “What I Re-plugged into Today”
