Pig in a Painting

Today was the first day of my classes. Can't really say the first day of school since we do school on and off during the summer, so this really isn't the first day of school, but it's sorta like that. It felt like fall today. (Not the weather.)

My favorite class was watercolor. The teacher is a little unusual. He lives on a pirate ship. He has a parrot named Morgan that he brings to class. His mustache is very pointy on the ends and sticks out from his face. But his class is fun. I some paintings from years past and they looked very hard to paint. Now, obviously this is only the first day, but the painting was fairly easy. I mean, it's not super duper faboo, but it wasn't exactly rocket science. This is mine....

My family noticed something weird in the clouds. 
 
 

Do you see the pig?! My friend loves pigs. I didn't mean to put that in, but it's kinda cool. =)

Now I am listening to Justin Bieber. I have no clue why I'm doing such a thing. I only listen to the chipmunk versions of his songs because they are hilarious. I was howling the first time I heard one. I also listened to I can see clearly now the rain is gone. Don't know if that's the actual title, but you get it. The first time I heard this was on a children's allergy medicine commercial. Kryn and I thought it was hilarious and it never occurred to us that it was a real song. Until the other day when one of my parents was singing it in the car. I was somewhat shocked. We made sure to sing it to another friend in the car - it's kinda a tradition, singing to her in the car and all. I'm sure she loves it. Or not. AND THEN! In watercolor class, my teacher (aka "The Pirate Teacher") had the radio on an oldies station. I heard it and several other songs Kryn and I laugh at (Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog - just because we've met a boy named Jeremiah and his friend sang that song once, Build Me Up Buttercup, and some others). The four other people in class were probably wondering why I was trying not to laugh.

Now Andy's listening to Chipmunk Christmas music...hmm. A little early, I'd say. I can't understand a word they're saying.

How was everyone's first day of school? Do you go to school or are you homeschooled? Do you take any classes?
