How Exciting!! I hope you enjoy the freedom of homeschooling.

Here's a helpful article for you. It's directed towards parents but it makes sense for students too. http://homeschoolsecrets.blogspot.com/

Also make daily goals and stick to them otherwise you will get behind and feel overwhelmed.

At our house, my sons try to get their school work done by noon and then do your other computer fun stuff. If they work ahead , I let them IM and do other things while working on school work as long as they keep their grades up.

Pace yourself...it's a lot of fun. I have one son who loves working ahead. He's planning on working Monday (Labor Day) so we can go surfing on Tuesday. If he gets everything done then we will be at the beach all day.

My older picks up some morning shifts at work sometimes and then completes his schoolwork around that schedule. I wouldn't recommend that when you are starting out.

Best of Luck!
