Testing (Sarcastic)

To prepare for a big test you need to get the least amount of sleep you can, it helps your brain function better and it keeps you awake. You also shouldn't eat a good breakfast because it is the most important meal of the day and it's important to skip it on the day of a big test. It helps you feel really hungry and makes your stomach hurt in the middle of the test, which helps you get a better score. When your testing make sure you skip as many questions as you can and also don't take your time. You will get a higher score if you skip a lot of questions and speed through the test, trust me it helps. You should always try to look at other peoples papers if you don't know the answer to a question, also make sure your teacher catches you cheating that way you get a bad grade and you get in trouble. If you follow all these instructions and tips you will definitely pass all your tests and your teacher will think you are a genius.  

Beginnings and Endings

There was 3 seconds left in the game and Old Orchard fouled me, we were in the bonus and I had two free throws. We were down by one points and I was shaking and extremely scared. I thought, "If I miss these free throws the whole team would be mad and blame the loss on me." I went by the free throw line and waited for he referee to come and give me the ball. It felt like an hour just standing there looking at the crowd and shaking nervously, then finally the referee blew the whistle and handed me the ball. I took three dribbles and spun the ball in my hands and shot it. It felt like the ball was moving in slow motion after it left my hands. I looked up and the ball went straight threw the basket, SWISH! The game was tied now and it was all up to me to make this free throw to put us into the lead. All my teammates came and gave me high fives after I made the first free throw, which made me feel good. The referee handed me the ball for my second shot and I was about to explode of tension. I did my usual routine and dribbled the ball 3 times and let the ball fly out of my hands in slow motion. The ball hit the back of the rim went into the air and fell into the basket. The referee blew the whistle and all my teammates came and jumped on me giving me high fives and hugs. We were up by 1 now with 3 seconds left in the game, Old Orchard threw the ball in and they took a half court shot and missed. WE WON!

Field Trip

One of my favorite field trips that I went on was Camp MacLean in 7th grade. We went for two days and one night but I still had the time of my life. When we first got there we took all of our belongings into our cabins and picked our beds. I liked my cabin because I had a lot of my friends in it and one of my favorite teachers, Mr. Gilman. We did a lot of activities while we were there, like archery, fishing, team activities and many more. We also played capture the flag at night with all the kids that came on the field trip. There were two teams orange and green, and we got our face painted the color of the team we were on. That was one of my favorite parts of the trip because everyone was scared because it was really dark and you didn't know where anyone was. But to top off the whole trip was the food we got, you could eat as much as you wanted and drank as much juice as you wanted. It was basically like a buffet, it was amazing. I really enjoyed our field trip to Camp MacLean and I can't wait to go back in May again this year. 

I'm Still Here

July, 17 2014

Dear Diary,

       Today I went swimming with dolphins, and on a slide that goes through a shark tank, while on vacation in Atlantis. I am with my cousins and family and we are having really a lot of fun so far. We had to wake up early today, around 7 A.M, which isn't really early it's just that we are on vacation and we usually woke up later. Our parents came into our room and started shaking us telling us to get ready because we are going to go swimming with dolphins. We all jumped out of bed, and got ready as fast as we could and ran downstairs from our room and went to the lobby so our parents could take us. 

      When we arrived at the dolphin cove, we had to put on a special suit and we had to go into a room so one of the workers could explain what the rules are and what we were going to be doing. After he was done explaining all the rules and what we were going to do, we went into a huge pool that had salt water and the dolphins were swimming around. We got these machines that helped us go underwater and swim with the dolphins without having to do any work. We got stay in the water and take pictures with them for an hour and it was really fun and everyone enjoyed it.

      Hopefully we do something as fun as what we did today for the rest of out trip. Good night.

Erika's Quotation Post

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place.  And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love.” 
This is actually a true story. My cousin got married to his beautiful wife in November of 2014, and my family and I went to Philadelphia for his wedding. We had so much fun and it was amazing, a few months after their wedding my family and I were at home and we were eating dinner. My dad's phone started ringing and he answered it and he told us that my cousin who just got married and his wife passed away while they were on the honeymoon. My cousin's wife was drowning, because she was sucked in by rip current at the beach, and so he went to try and save her and they never came back up out of the water. This directly relates to the quote because it says you must always choose love and thats what my cousin did.

Summer

Summer is my favorite time of the year, the weather is nice, you don't have to worry about shoveling your driveways. But what I like most about summer is that I hang out with my friends almost everyday. We all use our bikes and meet up at the park and we usually play soccer for a couple hours, then we will go eat somewhere, like Burger King or Subway. Somedays we will all go to somewhere fun like  Six Flags or the pool to hang out and have fun. The good thing is we do not have to worry about coming home early to do our homework or study for a test, because we don't have school. Also what I like about summer is I can wake up as late as I want, unless I have to go somewhere the next day with my family early in the morning. I hope summer comes fast because that's my favorite time of year and I really enjoy it.

Ronald McDonald was jogging through the woods, on a Sunday afternoon on his own. The New York Police Department got a call 20 minutes earlier saying there was a robbery at a local grocery store. Police were searching around for people that looked suspicious. They went through the woods and found Ronald McDonald running through the woods. They thought he was running away from the police cause he was the robber. The NYPD called for backup and they trapped Ronald and arrested him, he was really confused and he kept telling them he didn't do anything he was just going for a jog in the woods. The police didn't believe him and they arrested him and sent him to prison.
