          As much as Sophie makes us suffer in some aspects of parenting, I must say when it comes to school work there is little to complain about. Above are her first semester grades, her first semester in high school. She is self motivated and rarely has to be told to do her homework. I must say that the way she does homework sometimes drives me nuts: on the couch under the Elmo Pelt {red fuzzy blanket that looks just like someone hunted Elmos and made a blanket with the pelts}, watching Kardashian's {oh how I hate that show, but it is like a car crash, you can't help but to slow down and look}, Facebooking on the laptop, and texting on her cell phone, all while she is doing homework. However the above results speak for themselves; but it doesn’t mean I have to like her method.

       I have to admit I was shocked to see an A- in Drama, I would have expected her to take over that class and now be listed as the instructor.

     For her excellent efforts in school work, the oppressive parental regime that has oversight over Sophie has granted her the agreed upon laptop voucher. At the beginning of the school year Sophie had informed us that she was the only freshman girl in the free world that doesn't have her own laptop, and it wasn't fair that she should go through high school at such a disadvantage. Being benevolent dictators, we had agreed to get her her very own laptop if she got all As. Sophie is already looking forward to the next semester, asking if she can get a second ear piercing if she keeps her grades up. The ruling party has taken it under consideration and will make a ruling at a later date.
