Today is the 17
th. I know that I have not written anything since May 5, but I have to say that, between homework, eating, tennis, and band; I never got the time to blog.
Many things have happened since the last time I wrote on my blog. I mean I went to Splash Town, due to the band field trip, and I also have been working on my books: the Werewolf story and the Dark Poetry Novel. I also have been working out. I realized I can finally do pull ups. To those of you who scoff, I don't care, for I am proud, since I could never do pull ups before. Well, bygones are bygones, and so we move on...I mean back.
Okay, let's start with school. Mrs. Rockey's rampage receded. I know that it was our fault. I mean, she let us off without homework so we could be kids, and we began to neglect her Language Arts class. That got her mad, and I can understand why. It must have been a slap in the face, when we did not give a *beep* about her class. I mean how would you feel if you did something for a friend, and they took you for granted and treated you like trash. So we apologized for our behavior and promised not to do it again. I was like, "Thank God, it's over!", and that was the end of that.
I have been doing pretty good with my life. I have gotten much better at basketball, and now I get to be team captain in P.E. or I am chosen much more quickly when the other Team Captains are choosing the players. But most of the time, we play street ball instead of basketball. There been three incidents when my nose has almost been broken. However, no pain, no gain; and I have gained more skill than I think I ever had in the past few years.
My minicourse, which is Galveston Bay, is taught by Mrs. Garcia. It is also one of the most enjoyable course you can take. We go bird watching, catch grasshoppers, learn about the environment, and we are going to go on a field trip to Galveston Bay! Hooray!!!
Now we move on to Splash Town. IT WAS AMAZING!! I mean, I have never gone their before. Mitchell, Bhaanu, Dillon, Rohan, and I were talking throughout the whole time the bus was carrying us. Yet, we had to split up when got there, since we thought it would be more fun that way. So, Bhaanu, Dillon, and Mitchell went one way; and Rohan and I went another. The rides were completely amazing. The Twister, the Toilet Bowl, the Texas Free Fall, and many others that were just as great, but which I could not remember the names of. The Texas Free Fall was the most thrilling ride I could ever have the pleasure of riding in. The first three seconds , when you fall from 100 feet and you feel nothing underneath you feet, are the scariest moments of your life, but when you go so fast in two more seconds the ride is over. The worst part is just waiting in line, and feeling the platform shake. It is when you are trapped in your own mind. When you are your own enemy, there is no escape at all. Then there was the tidal wave pool. Another that was just as creepy when the waves were coming up. Rohan, some other kid, and I almost drowned in there. I was choking on the water, so I climbed up a ladder, yet stayed in the pool. Some other kid was drowning, and he needed to use the ladder, which I was blocking. Since he could not reach it, he grabbed Rohan who started drowning too. Then the life pushed me away, and I started drowning, but then he saved all of us, and told me not to block the ladder again. Well...that's all I can say about that.
I also decided to join Orchestra next year. So, my electives will be Orchestra and Band when I am in Eighth Grade.
That is pretty much it. See you again, next time!!
