Today is Halloween! The reason I am happy is not because of trick or treating but because school is a half day! I don't do the trick or treating stuff because I think I'm too old and also because I don't like most candy. Hershey's are the only candy that Iike. Anyway lets start talking about what I did today and then end this post with some Google News. When I woke up I turned on my sister's light so she could as well. Then she started yelling, "It's Halloween!" and I was getting pretty annoyed. That is why I ran downstairs to try and get to get the noise out of head but she just followed me so there was nothing I could do.

I didn't have a costume to wear to school because I wasn't going to celebrate Halloween so I wore my regular Gym uniform. At 7:10 A.M I walked my sister to her bus stop and we waited until the bus came. While waiting I saw a kid at her bus stop called "Ronan" and he was wearing a "Poop Emoji" costume. Then he told the other kids that it was his costume. However I felt pretty bad for him because before the bus came he started vomiting and his mother saw him from her house. She kept on yelling so he could hear him and asking stuff like "Are you okay?". Once she finished yelling she went back inside her house to get something but before she came back the bus came and Ronan got on.

After dropping off my sister I waited until 8:00 A.M and went to my stop. The bus came at around 8:24 A.M so it wasn't that late but I still wished it could have come sooner. When the bus reached the school I unbuckled my seat belt and ran inside with my friend "Jadan". Once I entered the class I saw a lot of really creative costumes. Some of them weren't even costumes. Just dress down and I felt pretty stupid for not dressing down myself. There was even this one boy who was dressed up as an angel and everyone kept on laughing (in a good way) and calling him cute. While walking to gym a teacher I knew from my previous school said to him "You know your cute don't you?" and he replied with a yes.

Now I want to talk about what I did at school today. For first period I had Social Studies and my teacher was making us do a do now about a quote. The quote was "Trush crushed the earth, but it shall rise again". Apparently this was Martin Luther King Jr's favorite quote that he used in many speeches. The quote, my teacher said meant, "When there is a truth but someone adds some details or fake stuff into it. If someone burried it into the ground it will one day rise up as the full truth". That is what he said. Another period I greatly enjoyed was Technology because I was able to go ahead and watch some Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 gameplay from some of my favorite youtubers.

For my last paragraph I am going to be talking about the news, all this information was given to me by "Google News". On the Science section it is talking about how there was an unrecorded "blue hole" in some type of reef and when they searched it the reef was home to much rich sea creatures. In the technology section it talked about how Apple is getting more sells in China and that the Nintendo Switch is bringing up it's sales a lot lately. Also, I want to talk about the two games from yesterday. The Japenese one and Megalith. The Japenese one looked cool from the trailer but the gameplay wasn't great. The Megalith one looked cool though because it actually reads your movements and was vr.

Last day of Oct/30/2017

When I woke up I ran downstairs into the shower because I wanted to take a shower. Unfortunately, before going to the bathroom I fell asleep on the couch for about 15 minutes. Once I finished taking the shower I brushed my teeth and ate some cereal. At 7:10 A.M I put on my sweater, grabbed my keys, and walked out the door with my sister so we could get to the bus stop. While walking to the stop and waiting it was pouring rain, fortunately I had on a sweater but that wasn't much help because it was also very cold. I felt worse for my sister though because she was freezing and I had to hug her while walking. After she got onto the bus I went back to my house.

Until 8:00 A.M all I did was put my school books into my new backpack because I didn't do it yesterday. Then I started reading my book that I got from "Barns and Nobles called, "Wings of Fire Legends: Darkstalker". I really enjoyed reading those few pages and was able to clean my glasses before going out the door. By the time I reached my bus stop it was 8:06 A.M and I only saw a girl and her mom standing in the front of a store that isn't opened yet. Then a boy and his mom came and that was it. While waiting for the bus to come I saw a car crash happen. Basically one car was in front of the other and the one behind started driving and hit the back of the front car.

At school my teacher told me that an author was coming to school for a book that we were reading before. It was called, "The Hidden Temptation of Baseball". It seems like a really good book. Apparently the book is about a group of 6 Chinese children getting sent from China by the emperor to America. The reason behind this was so that when they came back the children (should be adults when they come back) would "modernize" China and expose it to new Technology. As well as teach the American language to the people so that they could learn. The author got inspiration for this book from one of her friends who told her about it. She wanted the events to actually take place but add some fiction for herself.

I also want to talk about two other period that I had today, lunch and technology. For Technology I was able to just have free time since I finished the flyer we were supposed to do for classwork. What I did was watch some youtube about the anime called "Dragon Ball Super" and the game I got not a while ago called "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2". It is a really good game and I hope that lots of people play it. Even though it was released in 2016 the game is still hugely popular. Now for Lunch, when I was eating some food I saw a few kids staring at a poster at the wall. I decided to go ahead and check it out and found out that it was about the mock audition I did for Dance. Turned out I did well enough that my dance teacher wanted to callback me!

Now for the Google News, all I am going to be talking about is the Technology section. Turns out there was some type of Paris convention for gaming and they announced the arrival of 10 new games. One of the games is called "Ghost of Tsushima" and it is based on the Japan era. Other than that they announed another game called "Megalith". I haven't seen the trailer for both games but after my post I will. When I read the description it said that the game was vr so first person (control with a headset and your own hands) and that you would play as a titan trying to reach the highest level and become a god. Seems fun, anyway that is it for my post.

Diary 10/29/2017

Today I had a lot of fun with my mom and sister but lets start from the beginning. When I woke up it was around 7:30 A.M and my mom was still sleeping. My sister was awake though and on her phone. I walked downstairs and watched some TV because I didn't want to wake my mother. The reason behind this is because she usually wants to wake up at 10 or 11 o'clock. At 10:30 A.M my sister asked me what time it was and once I told her she ran upstairs to the bedroom and woke up my mother. After another 15 minutes she came back with my mother and we all started to brush our teeth and change clothes. This was because my mother really wanted to go outside.

Fortunately I finished my homework before getting out of the house so I felt like I didn't need to worry about anything. Most of the time I wouldn't do the homework early in the morning but today was an exception because all I had to do was read for 30 minutes. I even timed it on my watch to make sure I got 30 minutes. Anyway, all three of us went to the "V.I.P Diner" to eat breakfast because that's where my mother likes to go. I ordered some French Toast because I wasn't too hungry while my sister had waffles with bacon and syrup. My mother had sausages, scrambled egg, mashed potatoes, and a some pancakes so I didn't expect her to eat for a while.

Before leaving the diner my mother wanted to take us all to newport mall because she wanted to watch a movie and get me a backpack. I knew my dad would get mad about going to Newport Mall but I really needed a new backpack so I agreed to go. By the time we reached Newport Mall it was around 12:33 A.M and I was telling my mother that the movie we were going to watch already started 3 minutes ago. However she didn't listen to me and thankfully she didn't because the movie was still really amazing. I want to actually talk about the movie before anything else. So the movie is called "The Foreigner" and it stars Jackie Chan in it!

Anyway I am going to put the whole movie into one paragraph. Okay here I go, Jackie Chan drives her daughter to a clothing store that she wants to go to. Then while he waits for his daughter to come out the store explodes and someone planted a bomb inside. Jackie Chan griefs for his daughter since she was his only "family" he had left. Then he wants to know the names of the people who have killed his daughter. He stops at nothing to find the names and even threatans a goverment official for the names. Over the course of the movie Jackie Chan defeats every challenge in his way if it means finding the people who kill his daughter. In the end Jackie Chan kills the people who set the bomb in the clothing store and sneaks away in secrecy.

The movie was really good and I enjoyed it very much. It's a mix of action, romance (didn't talk about), and drama for his daughter. After the movie I needed to get the thing I came to Newport mall for, the backpack! With the help of my mother I went to Adidas and got a really good backpack plus water bottle to go along with it. The day was really enjoyable. However when I got home my dad didn't look too happy. I guess it was probably because of Newport Mall. Now I want to talk about the news, in the "Entertainment" section the movie "Jigsaw" appears to be doing pretty well as the name of the story is called "Jigsaw scares off the competition". That is all for today, until next time!

10/17/2017

By the time I walked downstairs in the morning it was 6:10 A.M because I purposely went back to sleep after turning off the alarm. Without wasting time I ran to the bathroom and took a shower without using too much water. Once I finished I dryed myself with a towel and then put on my gym uniform which was a lot more comfortable than khaki pants and a belt. At 7:10 A.M I walked to the bus stop with my sister and we got there ate 7:13 A.M. Five minutes went by and the bus finally comes. I always do this thing where once the bus opens the door I tell my sister to get there 1st and she always does.

At 8:00 A.M I closed and locked the back door before heading out to my bus stop. The bus came at 8:15 A.M which was good because then I could get to school faster have more time to prepare for the day. Once I got to school I saw a bunch of kids waiting outside teh door and realized the door still hasn't opened yet. Fortunately, after 2 minutes one of the school teachers let us kids walk to our classes. I was hoping that my teacher wasn't here today and we would have our substitute teacher but once I saw his coffe mug on the table I knew he was here. I know you might think I am joking but I'm not, apparently he needs to drink at least 3 cups of coffee everyday because most classes tire him out.

For first period I had Technology and this got me really excited. Today we were supposed to create a flyer so that is exactly what I did. It only took me 10 minutes and once my teacher approved my flyer I just continued watching youtube for the rest of class. After Technology my next class was Dance and I walked with my class to the Annex Cafeteria. Then all the kids put their bookpacks against the wall and got in their warmup positions. Unfortunately we weren't going to do our warmup (I saw "unfortunately" because I actually quite enjoy the warmup because it streches my body and is pretty funny to see other kids do it.

Apparently my class was supposed to do a mock audition. That means we practice for an actual audition that will happen in December. This mock audition is to see how we introduce ourselves and see if we've been practicing our dance routine. I can't really show you the routine but it has around 10 steps to it. I will explain to you how the dance routine works. So you start by putting your right leg back and when the music starts you turn around and elbow the air with your right arm. After that you turn your whole body left and touch your toes. Then you get into sprinting position and hug the air two times. Once you do that your supposed to dab two times and bow. 

Now for the news, I am going to talk about the Science and Technology section. For the Technology section people are argueing that you should buy the Nintendo Switch because of the new game that is coming out called "Mario Odyssey". Now for the Science, apparently Nasa sent an identical twin brother to space for a year to see if he's changed from his former twin. Here are the results, the twins now have different gut bacteria and they also are different heights. Scientists are searching for what is called a Space Gene. Apparently when a human goes into space their genes look like they are exploding and it is pretty cool. Anyway that is it for my post, see you later.

my diary 10/26/2017

After waking up I walked downstairs with my sister and turned on the lights. When doing so I could see that my dad definitely was at work because the suitcase with all the electronics in it is locked. Together the both of us ate cereal and then changed our clothes. Since I didn't have any form of electronic entertainment (the one I prefer) I decided to continue reading the book I started yesterday. It was called, "Star Athletes and Their Childhoods". The book was actually pretty good and I enjoyed it. I would think that reading books about famous people would be boring but the layout of the book was enough for me. It didn't seem as serious as the other books so it wasn't boring.

Once I dropped my sister to her bus I walked back into the house and continued reading until there was only 10 minutes left. Then I brushed my teeth, put on some anti-acne cream, and packed my book bookpack before going outside. By the time I locked my back door and was heading out it was 8:01 A.M and when I got to the bus stop it was around 8:09 A.M. I didn't go to the deli grocery store because I didn't want to eat too much and waste money. As I saw the bus from a distance I walked back to the pole where it usually stops and waited until it got there. Inside of the bus I started talking to my friend about the flashcards (homework) and what he wrote. Turns out he forgot a few kids so he finished it while on the bus.

At school I enjoyed two periods the most out of the rest. The first one was P.E and I walked upstairs with my class to the Gym. After finished our usual warmups my class played a game called "Secret Agents". Apparently there isn't an actual objective to the game for certain roles. They're are three choices you could pick from. A Secret Agent, a "Bad Guy", and a citizen. I think its easier to explain the Citizen first. If your citizen all you really do is just run around and hopefull not get tagged by a bad guy. If you do you have to sit down criss-crossed so you don't hurt anyone else and wait until a secret agent can tag you back in the game. If all secret agents are tagged by the bad guys thye win. The secret agents and citizens can't win at all.

The other period that I enjoyed was during ELA. So in ELA I didn't have my regular teacher which was one good thing. If I did he would probably give us a lot of work, but thankfully I don't. He told the substitute teacher that my class was supposed to watch a movie called, "The Giver". That was the thing I liked about ELA. Once we finished the movie (started watching on Tuesday) our teacher let us work on our homework that was due on Monday. I want to explain the movie to you guys. So basically, the people have created a new Society in which they are supposed to feel no emotions. They can't lie and must always use "Precision of Language". None of these people have any memories because thye were brainwashed. However a boy named Jonas ventures beyond the society and cross a gateway that gives them all their memories again, that is all.

On the Google News I scrolled down until I found something that I was actually interested in. In the Science section it showed two stories. One about a new dinosaur called, "Sinosauropteryx".  This dinosaur apparently has a so called "Bandit Mask" and can camoflage its eyes from predators and prey. The other story was about how scientists are confused with the Bang Bang. The story states that the Big Bang should have distentigrated the universe with a power of matter and anti matter combined but it didn't. Now Scientists are trying to find out how this happened. Maybe one of them was a but less and was overtaken by the other but they still haven't figured it out. Anyway that is it!

Diary 10/25/2017

After leaving my house at 8:00 A.M I walked to my bus stop and waited until the bus came (was around 8:30 A.M). Once getting on the bus I sat next to my friend and we started talking about school and homework. When the bus got to the school I got out and entered the building. Then I walked up the stairs to my class. By the time I got to my class it was already 8:50 A.M and I didn't have a lot of time to get ready for first period. My first class of the day was Social Studies and my teacher played a movie or documentary on the Cherokee. He wanted us to know about how the Native Americans were being treated by the "White" Americans.

Once Social Studies was done the 7th grade had Community Circle. For Community Circle there was a performance from the chorus or band (only singing, no instruments) that was really good. In the front was about 20 kids standing in rows who were the chorus. Then on the side were the singers and what I assumed as the "best" singers. Now don't get me wrong, the were all "singers" and really good. It's just that the four peopele on the side seemed to be the ones with the best singing capability. Apparently this performance was supposed to happen so that the people listening know what is happening. It is about suicide and there is a very popular song going around that I forgot the name of but thye sang that.

Now I am going to skip lunch and recess because there was an assembly that happened in school today that I really want to talk about. The assembly was about anti-bullying and the speakers were actual police who had a lot of experience working with these type of cases. One of them actually worked as a police officer in the train station called "Journal Square" that I always go to. That specific police officer had been a police for 9 and a half years. That must be a really long time so I respect someone that spends that much time on a job. However there was another man who worked for 10 and a half years. The other two people were both women who had worked for only 3 and a half years.

Basically they started by saying that cyber bulying is the most common in the age group that I'm in but I don't have a phone that I can text someone so I'm good. I mean my game counts because you talk to people and message if you want. However all you have to is press the "block" button and that's it. Problem solved, its that easy! Anyway, he wanted to talk about pornography and how its illegal to send pictures to people about that or you get jail time. Then he mentioned that we should be mature enough to talk about that kind of stuff but never actually do them. Before they left they talked about ways people have been cyber bullying and ways to deal with it.

I have to talk about the news right now so lets begin. Papa if your reading this I am kind of interested to do the piano, like an electronic one though. I mean if that is okay with you, just saying. Anyway, on the news there is a story about Albert Einstein leaving a tip that has the theory of happiness on it and right now it is being sold for about 1.3 million dollars. I figure that something like that would be 1.3 million dollars if its written by Albert Einstein himself. It seems like something really inspirational. I hope the person who buys it will actually post it on the internat what the tip says so we would all get a taste of that theory of happiness. Anyway see you later.

my diary 10/24/2017

Today at school I walked upstairs to the second floor and headed to my homeroom. Once entering the class I grab a breakfast as fast as I can and sit in my seat to see if there is anything on my desk. Nowadays, whenever I get to my desk there is alwasy some water on it or a book that someone left from the previous class. It really irritates me so that is why I always check to see if anyone has left something on it. After finishing breakfast I threw it away in the trash can and made sure I had all my books for class. Especially my social studies textbook, I haven't brung my social studies textbook for two weeks now because I always forgot or remember last minute.

For first period my Social Studies teacher was talking about some more stuff related to the American Flag and then started talking about the bible and slavery. Apparently he said that other schools have fired him because of the way he teaches. However this school lets him teach the way he does as long as he stays with the curriculum. I think that is a pretty deal and he seems to enjoy his stay at Beloved Community Charter School. Anyway after Social Studies my next class was Gym. For Gym I really enjoyed it, well there was one part I didn't like but that was because my of classmates, not me so I don't really feel it as much.

My teacher heard one of the kids on the side of the gym talk while she was telling us what to do so we started all over and wasted about 2 minutes. Then again, two minutes is really nothing when your in a class for 40 minutes. Anyway, after the "warmup" that involves us standing still our teacher said we were going to do another warmup. This one involved us moving in different ways while in a circle. That meant, we would hae to either shuffle, skip, hop, or jog while in a circle and pass the ball to each other until it reached 10 people. If you reached 10 people we would stop, another way to stop is by failing three times.

Once finished with the second "warmup" we played a game. My teacher doesn't really have a name for this game so she just calls it, "A Twisted Version of Dodgeball". I really hate that playing dodgeball during school or as an actual sport is illegal because it used to be my favorite game. I even see people play it on youtube during school hours but whatever. The reason it became illegal was because it was considered a "Targeting Human Sport" where you were supposed to hit the person. I mean you could use a really soft ball but nooooooo. They have to take out the sport completely. That doesn't mean you can't play it at the park because of course the government or whoever can't see you.

Now I have to talk about the news so here I go. I was just looking through the stories and saw on the technology section saying that people have to wait in line for the iPhone X so that people who want to buy the iPhone 8 can just get it. I clicked on the suggested second and saw Overwatch so I was just thinking how did the news know that? Then I realized  it probably jsut checks my most recent seach which by the way is Overwatch. It was talking about how the hero you see in the picture is overpowered and he cna kill almost every hero in less than 5 seconds. That is how overpowered he is! That is my post, see you tomorrow.

10/23/2017

Today, I got up from my bed at 6:00 A.M and walked downstairs with my sister to the kitchen. From there I changed my clothes and made breakfast (cereal) for my sister and I.  However, she kept on complaning that her stomach was hurting and that she couldn't eat the food I knew that if my dad was there with me she wouldn't complain at all but of course I'm not him. So instead I told her that I would tell my dad, unfortunately she still wouldn't listen to me. Whenever I told her to eat it she said my dad told her that if you don't want food you don't have to eat even though I know that is wrong. Once you get food you have to eat it. The good thing was that she got in trouble with my dad when I got home. 

When I got to school the first thing I saw were people trying to finish their ELA projects. You see, my class got their ELA projects due today and some people still didn't finish. Even though we got a whole week to do it. Fortunately I finished it before getting on the bus. My teacher was telling kids to put their projects on the back table even though I saw so many people trying to finish that last sentence for their essay or that last touch to their puppets. You'll know why I saw puppets later on. Anyway, For first period my class was talking to my teacher about the incident with the national anthom. 

Apparently a lot of NFL players are kneeling down or not participating in the National Anthom because in the National Anthom it makes black people seem like slaves and in the present police are shooting unarmed black people for on reason. I think that if the NFL players don't want to take part in the National Anthom they shouldn't have to because no one can make their decisions for them. Donald Trump replied to this incident saying "Sons of #$=!". When I told my dad about this he replied to me saying that they are showing disrespect to the president and the country that they are living in. I kind of agree on that one point but other than that I think they should have their own right.

After Social Studies the rest of my classes weren't really that interesting except for ELA. During ELA it was really funny because for the project their was one option you could do which was make a play on the book my class was reading and boy were the plays funny. You had to make a puppet owl and then write a script for it. Then perform it in front of the whole class. The first play or skit was especially funny and the best one in my opinion. It was very cringy because one of the boys was making a funny voice that got everyone laughing. In the end they made their puppets dance and that was hilarious.

For my last paragraph I am going to be talking about the news. I scrolled down to the Technology section of the news and saw how Apple literally took out the 248 GB version of the iPhone 7 to increase sales on the iPhone 8 and iPhone X. That is such a dirty move jsut to get more sales but it is smart. I hear a lot of people want the iPhone X and many are preordering it so they cna get it the day it comes (on midnight). Besides that I don't know anything that is happening on the news. I mean I saw on the top page a story about how a gold star widow heard Donald Trump forget her husband's name and had to research it. Anyway I hope that is enough. Until next time.....

10/22/2017

Today I want to talk about what I did yesterday. Basically why I didn't make a post and what I did that day. When I woke up it was around 7:30 A.M and I walked downstairs only to hear my sister coming down right behind me. Together we watched TV until my aunt came from the basement. She told the both of us that we were going to an apple farm with my mom's brother and his daughter as well as my mom. I complained to my aunt about not wanted to go to an apple farm because I wanted to have as much time on my PS4 as possible before schools started on Monday. I saw this because my dad only lets me play on Saturday and Sunday. On the weekdays he locks my cable and controllers in a suitcase.

Then I heard knocking on the door. My aunt opened it and she saw My mom's brother and his daughter. My sister was really excited because she loved playing with the little girl (she came before). After about an hour my mom came back from work and told me to change my clothes for the trip tot he apple farm. I tried to talk her into not letting me go but whenever I tried all she did was say how I never spend quality time with her and should listen to her this one time. I eventually knew that complaining wouldn't change her mindset at all so I walked to the bathroom and got ready. However, once I got out my mother started saying that she didn't like the clothes I was wearing.

This really got me mad but thankfully my aunt told my mom that I'm a teenager and should make my own decisions. At 12:00 A.M I turned off my Playstation and put on my shoes. Then ran outside to my mom's brother's car, when I got into the car I realized how much space it had. It probably could fit about 6 people at most, which is pretty big. The road to the apple farm was atrocious for many reasons. For starters, after about 20 minutes in the car, I started to get carsick and almost vomited. Secondly, I was just imagining that the only food there were either apples or pumpkins. Lastly, The trip to the farm was about 3 hours so I knew it was far.

By the time I got there I already knew I was in the countryside. However, I forgot the name of the farm. I just tried typing in "Apple Farms in NJ" and couldn't find any so it must not be that popular. Now that I think about that I disagree because when we got there almost all the parking spots were full and that was at least 5 acres of land for that parking lot. When all of us got out of the car I felt like vomiting but didn't because just thinking about it was disgusting. Anyway, after about 10 minutes I felt better. The first thing I saw was a playground but didn't feel like playing. Then as I walked a little further I saw the whole place. Thankfully there was barbecued chicken and hamburgers and hot dogs. I loved the food a lot.

After eating some food all of us went to the pumpkin area and tried to find a pumpkin we would like to have. However, it was hard to find a small pumpkin that was either weirdly shaped or one side that was incredibly dirty. In the end, we picked a small pumpkin that wasn't great but the best one that wasn't taken by someone else. The one thing that I hated was the fact that my dad was probably really mad at me right now and he was because when he came hoem today I didn't get the best response. Another thing thing that I hated was how my mom would ask a random person to take a photo whenever she wanted to be in the picture as well adn I was kind of embarrased. Anyway that was my apple farming day, see you later...

10/20/2017

At school I walked into my class and saw about half of the kids in there. I quietly went to to my desk without making any noise since the class was really silent and I knew my teacher would want someone to break that silence. Once I dropped my backpack onto my seat I grabbed breakfast from the back of the class and ate it until 8:55 A.M. At 8:55 A.M I threw my trash in the garbage and then walked to the line for first period. My first class was Technology and I almost everyone in my class liked Technology so no one wanted to be late. We quietly walked into the Tech lab and grabbed chrome books from the cart.

After Technology I had Dance and I was really excited for it. However, when the dance teacher said we were going to be watching two videos on dances and taking notes I was really disappointed. I thought we would be dancing and getting a good excercise but apparently not. The two videos we watched were dances from certain cultures (Asian, American, European, Latino, African, etc). The first video's dance was based from Africa. There was a soloist at the start and then a group of kids and adults switching positions to dance in the front stage. I really liked it because the way the dancers were dancing seemed unorganized, but if you looked closely you could see how much energy was put into the moves.

Before I knew it Recess came and I grabbed my sweater from my locker to go outside. All I did was play the same tag constantly. The only reason I am even talking about this is because it seems dumb to just say recess is coming and then skip to Lunch. Now that you know what I did it feels more comfortable to go to Lunch. For Lunch the school gave us that disgusting pizza that I didn't like so I didn't eat it. My friend gave me some chips to eat and that was way better than some burn't pizza. During Spanish my teacher told us to continue our worksheets she gave the week before and if you finished that she would hand you a crossword puzzle.

When school was over I pack up my book pack and walked downstairs to the first floor and out the door. Then I ran to my bus (bus 51) and got on, waiting for the rest of the kids to get in before the bus left. While on the bus there was a major traffic jam near where I lived and it took about 10 minutes just to get out of it. Another annoying thing that happened while on the bus was how the kids in the back of the bus were trying to roast each other and telling who liked who. They were all 11 or 12 years old like me but most were in 6th grade. It was really getting on my nerves because one of the kids were taken to the front and was arguing with the bus aid about why he was moved to the front.

Now my dad told me I am supposed to make at least one paragraph in my post about the news so here I go. I went into the world section of the news and saw something about Kim Jong Un. Since something interesting happens everytime I hear Kim Jong Un's name. However, that doesn't mean he is a good person. Anyway the story was about how a mountain called, "Mount Mantap" is on the verge of collapsing. You wanna know why? Guess what Kim Jong Un is most known for......Missles! Apparently the missles have been causing Mount Mantap toshift recently and that it is near collapsing. That is very dangerous so it is good if he would stop "testing" new missles everyday.

At 6:30 A.M I walked downstairs to where my dad and sister were eating breakfast. I put on my red shirt for school but couldn't put the pants since they were pretty dirty. That is why my dad was washing them in the laundry. While waiting for the laundry to end I ate eggs and bread for breakfast. I know you might think I'm eating some type of toasted bread and brown or square shaped, but in reality it is circle shaped and white. Even I know that you can't wait for your laundry to finish just by eating food which was why I was reading a book for an hour. After the hour the laundry still wasn't finished but I had to take out the pants and wear them anyway.

When I wore the pants they felt very hot but after 5 minutes they started to get very cold. Fortunately I also grabbed my sweater which was in the laundry and that was warm. Another thing I hated about the pants were that they had a bunch of wrinkles. You see, when I took them out they were in the dryer and just finished heating. However, there were two other modes the laundry was supposed to finish for the pants. The cooling and the "wrinkle prevent"..... So that was the problem, guess I should have woken up sooner and help my dad put the clothes in the laundry. At my bus stop it didn't take long before the bus came and I got on to go to school.

At school I packed up my stuff and got ready for first period. For Science all I did was read a few pages on my textbook and then completed my outline. That was the whole period, I mean the lesson was about microscopes and cells so it was kind of interesting but other than that I wasn't "into" the lesson. Fortunately my next class was P.E so I happily packed my book-pack and walked out the door to the Gym. Apparently the people for cross country were having some type of parade where they were all in a line and just walking around the school with kids chanting and cheering for them.

Because they were doing the parade my class got through the warm up a lot easier with less people. The game we played was line basketball and all we did was have two people going at a time to see who could score the most points. After P.E was Recess and all I did was play tag. You know what, from now on I'm not even going to include recess because all I do is tag anyway. For Lunch the school gave us chicken tenders which I actually really liked a lot. In the end it shows that this school doesn't have a very wide selection of good foods but those few good lunches are usually really good.

Now I am going to talk about the news. As usual I always look at the "Technology" section of the news because I just feel that is more interesting for people close to my age. The first thing I saw was a story talking about how the iPhone X arrival could slash the iPhone 8. In addition Apple as cut 50% of there manufactoring on iPhone 8 which people speculate is because of the iPhone X. In addition to that apparently the iPhone 7 is selling more than the iPhone 8 which is pretty sad. I told my mom not to get the iPhone X but maybe I might tell her nevermind because the sales for these things are on fire.

10/18/2017

Since it is still in the morning and I don't know what to type about I am using the news at my resource. As you already know, today is Wednesday and I have no school for some reason. I was surfing through the web trying to find some interesting news that I could type about and found one that was about North Korea being obsessed with missiles or at least Kim Jong Un. Apparently he's barely ever mad any more public appearances and when he does all he talks about is the military and his missiles  That is why I would agree with this news in saying that he is obsessed with missiles.

Now I actually want to talk about this morning. When I woke up it was around 6:30 A.M, I just sat there on my bed waiting until my sister woke up because I knew that she would go to my dad's room. I predicted precisely because once she woke up I saw her walk to my dad's room. I did the same thing after about 2 minutes and saw that she was sleeping in his bed, I wanted to sleep in his bed as well because it was really warm. However, once I got in the covers he started tickling me and my sister and I was laughing. In the end I didn't get any extra sleep in the bed but it was fun.

At 7:40 A.M he got out of the bed and took his phone with him downstairs. When he reached the bottom of the stairs I yelled at my sister, "Whoever gets to him first is the winner!". I quickly grabbed the nearest pillow I could and smacked my sister with it. Then I ran downstairs and got to my dad before she did. By the time she came down the both of us were laughing and brushing our teeth. For breakfast I told my dad to make some egg and bread and he did exactly that. It was pretty good, unfortunately I couldn't enjoy it as much as I would like to because I walked to start my homework and finish it as fast as possible.

Okay then, that is all I've done so far for today. I decided to try and find some other news and looked specifically at the Technology second. Sure enough it showed something that was called "Pixel 2 vs iPhone 8 plus". I know that the iPhone 8 plus is a phone and supposed to be new but I don't know what a Pixel 2 is. I am just going to assume that it is a different type of phone. Anyway, it said that if you want more detail in your photos than the Pixel 2 is the way to go but if you want more color in your photos the iPhone 8 plus will sure come in handy. I'd rather get the iPhone 8 plus if I had to choose only because i'm more used to it.

I remember this one show my dad would always watch called, "Pawn Stars". Today while in the news section I saw a story about the Pawn Stars and it talked about how one of the people during the show were called, "Chum Lee". Apparently this guy got rich and I don't know why.  Chum Lee was apparently selling T-Shirts and other products and now his net worth is around 5 million dollars! Probably even more considering how the 5 million dollar thing was from 2 years ago. Okay, so I jsut checked some more information on Chum Lee and apparently he was arrested for drugs and lots of other stuff. I saw this on my TV a while back. Anyway that is my post.

10/17/2017

When I got of my bus to school I saw almost every 6th and 7th grader waiting outside the door. Apparently they wouldn't let the kids go inside until it was time and a lot of kids were complaining. Fortunately I barely waited at all because once I came it was already 8:30 A.M and time for the door to open. At my class I grabbed a breakfast and then checked the class schedule. One of the msot exciting things I got to do today was Gym since we only have that 2 times a week. Another thing I was excited about was the no school on Wednesday. At 8:55 I grabbed my book pack and got in line for my first class.

For first period I had Social Studies, I didn't bring my textbook so I borrowed one from a friend. The whole class was just boring but that didn't mean I could just slack off and get in trouble. Anyway my next class was Gym and I really liked it. When I got into the Gym the first thing I did was get in a circe with the rest of my classmates because that is what my Gym teacher always tells us. Then my class started to do our warm up. One hand behind the other, hands across, legs in front, try to touch your toes, legs bag. That is basically what the warmup is. 

After doing the warmup my teacher told us that she had a new game to make us play. It is basically Sharks and Minnows. Except we were using mats instead of just touching the wall. I got to the second round and was in the top 6 but after that there was just no way to win. I just gave up at that point and sacrificed myself so at least someone could mkae it and sure enough two people did. After Gym class I had recess. Basically played tag again except this time I also talking to a few of my friends on the playground. Once I was finally done I decided to go inside the school and have Lunch.

For Lunch the school gave us hot dogs and it acutally wasn't too bad. The hot dog wasn't burn't like the last one and the bun wasn't broken. That was why I liked it, in addition they added tator tots to it so I really like it. I just remembered that while I was outside in recess some kid named "Vincent" (Friend) was playing some type of fake fighting game with me. We were pretending that we knew karate and then he fake kicked me (didn't actually hit me) and punched me in the throat. I know it seems like he beat me up or was trying to hurt me but in reality we were just playing and he apologized for acidentally hitting me that hard.

Now for the last paragraph I want to talk about North Korea and Donald Trump. Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un have been threatening each other by saying they would fire missles at their countries. I checked on a map in my homework planner and saw how small North Korea was to America but I knew size didn't matter if thye were firing missles at each other. I checked on the news and it said that if North Korea fired missles they would hit Los Angelos, Chicago, and New York. I know I don't live in New York, but I do live close to it (Jersey City) so I am a bit afraid of what might happen. Anyway that is all for today, see you later...

10/16/2017

At 6:00 A.M I woke up to the sound of my alarm causing an intense racket inside of my head. I was starting to go crazy until I turned off the alarm. Then I heard my sister wake up and the two of us walked downstairs to the kitchen. I immediately decided to go to the bathroom and take a shower. It took about 6 minutes and once I finished my body felt cleansed. Before getting out of the bathroom I remembered my mother buying me some stuff yesterday that was supposed to clean my acne. I was going to try it out but I didn't know which one to use since my mother said one of them was used in a shower. In the end I just guessed and put it on my face.

At 8:00 A.M I walked out the back door to my bus stop. However, before I went to my stop I always go to the deli-grocery store and buy a snack with the money my mother gives me before she leaves for work. I decided to get a drink and a snack, the man kindly put it in two bags because he knows I always want two bags in case it breaks. Once I got to the bus stop I saw only a few people sitting down that were part of my bus stop. After a few minutes the bus came and I walked inside of it. At school I walked in my class and grabbed a breakfast from the back of the class. It was some cereal, crackers, an apple, and a carton of milk. By the time I finished it first period started.

Today wasn't the most exciting day at school, when I say that I don't mean that I got in trouble. It's just that nothing interesting happened today. For Social Studies my teacher just told my class to read 4 pages and start an assignment on page 40 of the textbook. After Social Studies my next class was Science and our teacher showed us the answers to the test we were given on Friday. I found out from the answers that I only got one wrong which meant I was bound to get around a 90. Possibly a 95 or 91, once we finished checking the answers our teacher gave us a worksheet to work on until class ended.

During recess I just played tag with the same usual people that I always play with. It was pretty fun so when Lunch came it was a good oppurtunity to relax. I sat down and talked with a few of my friends about Overwatch and then watched a video on my friend's phone. Once Lunch was over I went with my class back upstairs to my homeroom and got ready for Spanish. I don't really want to talk about Spanish because I just down't like the class and I know a lot of kids my age and older as well agree with me. However it's not like I can change anything anyway. After I finished Spanish class it was time for Tech. 

This is was the worst part of my day. Technology was supposed to be the best class of the day because I was actually able to use the chromebooks once I finished a few typing lessons. However I wasn't allowed to go to Technology class, let me explain what happened. Once Spanish ended my teacher left and everyone was just talking and waiting for a teacher to come take us to Technology. Suddenly the vice principal came and yelled at my class tellig us we were late for Tech so everyone got their bookpacks. I packed my bookbag and put my drink inside of my locker, but right as I was getting out the door the vice principal told the other class to come inside. Once their class came I was gonna go out but she told me it was already too late for me and I had to stay and wait until Tech ended. I was really mad but didn't say anyhting and another girl in my class had to stay as well. That was my day, see you later.

My diary Oct 15th 2017

Today I was just checking the news to see if there was anything interesting happening in the world that I could type about. Another reason I am checking the news is that it is 9:41 A.M for me right now which also means it is only the start of the day. When I typed in "News" it should a bunch of stories, most related to Trump. The top story is about something that happened in Somalia. There were apparently two bombs that killed at least 189 people. I researched a little more and found out that Somalia is in Africa and that besides the 189 people dead there were also around 200 people wounded. It is very unfortunate for things like this are happening in the world. Peace cannot always be achieved.

Some other news that I have found was about California. Unfortunately, there has been a massive wildfire that continued to spread. The death toll for this wildfire is already 40 and firefighters are still searching for more bodies. This wildfire ravaged Northern California for about a week and is still continuing. The reason I know it is still spreading is because I saw it on the news yesterday. However, there was only one spot that had lots of fire in it. The rest of the area is covered with smoke from the water being spread across the fire. Apparently, what's contributing the fire is the humidity (dry hair). For about 2 minutes I was sitting in my chair thinking what would happen to me if I was put on fire.I don't want to think about that.....

For the past two weeks, I have been watching this anime called "Luck and Logic". It is a very short anime with only one season (12 episodes). The company that made this which I think is "Bandai" decided not to continue it because it wasn't getting popular. I, however, think it is really good. I feel as though the reason it isn't that popular is that they haven't been making trailers and dates for the anime. To try and make some hype for it, basically not enough people even know the anime. That means it isn't like people don't like it at all. Fortunately for me and the people who love this anime that have created a whole new series for the anime. I don't know whether or not it is finished or not though.

I am trying to think about some other stuff that I can type about....Ohh! I remember, last week on Tuesday was the day the new Halloween event for my favorite game "Overwatch" came. It has 8 new skins added into it and about 89 new items other than the skins added. I wanted the Halloween skin to come for so long because I never was able to get one skin that I wanted from last year's Halloween event.  The picture to the right is the one I wanted to get and I still don't have. I am determined to get this skin because if I don't I will be extremely depressed.

Is there anything else I want to add? Umm, let's see here. Hmmmmmmm, oh I know something! I want to talk about Naruto Shippuden Storm Four (game). It is my second favorite game to Overwatch. However it is dying because the people who made this game don't care about it anymore. After the last Dlc that they added (new things) thye started making a new game called "Naruto to Boruto Shinobi Striker". It seems like a pretty good game but what about the game you made before. I mean Naruto Shippuden Storm Four is still really good and if they added just a few new updates to the thing it would mean more cash, $$$! Anyway see you later and papa I am going to message you about the game.

Las Vegas Horrible shooting

By the time I am typing this it is only 9:32 A.M. That is why I can't really talk about my day. That is why instead I am going to be talking about the news. I remember last week during Spanish class at my school my teacher wanted to talk about the news and see if anyone knew some important events that are happening right now. About 3 kids immediately raised their hands. When my teacher called on of the girls who raised her hand she talked about something called the "Las Vegas Shooting". I didn't know what she was talking about since I never really watch news. That is why when I got home I typed "Las Vegas Shooting" on my computer and saw what she meant.

Apparently a man (who I still haven't been able to find the name yet) had purposely picked a hotel room that was looking right at the music festival that was happening. In the room were 23 weapons all belonging to the gunman. Inside of his home and car contained thousands of rounds of ammunition for all 23 weapons and an ingredient that was used for explosives. Okay I just found out the man's name, "Stephen Paddock" was the name of the man who took responsibilty for a mass murder. He set up cameras all around the outside of his room (hallway) and in his room. Many people think he used the cameras to see if anyone was approaching his room.

All in all 58 people were counted death in this incident, officers still don't know how "Stephen Paddock" who was a retired accountant turned inte history's most deadliets mass murderer. However 500 people were also injured from the shots. Police believe that Stephen was alone which makes the reason he did this a lot harder to find. After reading more about what happened I also found out that during the shooting there was a man who was going to propose to his wife. However the Las Vegas Shooting killed him and he was devastated. I am very sorry for that man, just imagine the person you love most just die right in front of you? That is awful.

I also want to talk about my Social Studies class that I had yesterday. Last week when I was in school I ahd a really fun Social Studies. I was sitting down when my teacher told me to take off my sweater. I knew he was joking because he was laughing so I galdly took it off. Then he started talking about Colombus and how he didn't actually find America. Later on he was talking about stereotypes and how that means "A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image image or idea of a particular type of person or think". He was talking about how most men thought that Laatina women were only good for one thing, making babies. As soon as he said that every latina girl in my class agreed that most people thought that.

I could picture it but din't want to say anything. Then I asked what some Asian Sterotypes are and he answered me. He literally said this, "For example, one Asian sterotype is that Asians are bad drivers.". When he said this everyone in my class was confused. That is when he suddenly said "because they supposedly have small eyes". As soon as he said that everyone in my class started laughing. It wasn't toawrds me and my asian friends, but more so just at the joke. Then my Asian friend made a joke saying that all Asians were born with no eyes. That is why our eyes were so "small". Anyway that is it for my post, see you later.

10/13/20`7

Today I woke up at around 6:50 A.M. I turned off my alarm because I didn't want it to make a really annoying noise at 6:00 A.M. I decided to go downstairs adn not wake up my sister because usually she came after about 10 minutes and at 6:00 A.M she came down. The both of us took turns changing in the bathroom and after putting on our clothes my sister had some cereal. I chose not to eat cereal because I already had it at school so I sat and went on my phone until it was 7:10 A.M. I forgot to put my phone back in the suitcase my dad puts all our electronics in so I decided to use it. Every day I was bored because there was nothing to do so I was going to use that time wisely.

At 7:10 A.M I dropped my sister to her bus stop and then walked back to my house. At 8:00 A.M I grabbed my back pack and put my wallet in the small pocket. Then I put on my sweater and left the house (of course making sure to lock the door behind me). At my bus stop the bus came really early, at around 8:12 A.M. Luckily I got to the stop before it came. The driver waited 5 minutes for any other people on the bus and then left to pick up the rest of the kids. Because the bus was early we came at the same time as the other kids on their's. I got to my class at 8:30 A.M.

For my first period I had Technology. For Technology my class had to complete excercise 4 lessons 7 through 11 and then we could have free time. For free time I decided to listen to some nightcore (type of music) and play some Splix.io with a couple of my friends sitting next to me. Once Technology was over I had Dance. For Dance we continued learning our excercise and didn't do across the floor. It was basically a series of moves that our teacher or should I say "choreographer" helped us perfect. In my opinion I see dance class as a second Gym class. Except no sweating and no feeling like your going to die. Instead it is a lot more relaxing and fun.

For recess I continued to play tag with my friends which usually resulted in a lot of sweat. I remember yesterday when my shirt was actually wet from how sweaty I was. At Lunch my school gave us pizza which I already told you is HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING, GROSS, and A DISGRACE TO THE PIZZA SOCIETY! Which Lunch finishing my next period was Spanish and I was just praying that class would be over as quick as possible which apparently isn't that fast! During ELA my class continued and finished the movie which was called "Hoot" and everyone in my class agreed it was bad, even my teacher. Which was why our homework was to write the biggest mistake the movie made.

I am going to skip dinner (all we had was some spaghetti and meatballs) because I want to talk about what happened during ELA. To me it isn't really that important, but to other people it is very emotional. Today was the day that George died last year, in case you don't know George is a kid who died last year when I was in 6th grade. He was hit by a bus  while walking to his stop. Everyone who was on his bus saw him get hit. It was a tragic scene and that day, every kid who I saw on that bus was crying. Today was the day he got hit and the school is having an anniversery just for George. Since I didn't know him I didn't cry, but about 5 kids went out the class to cry and mourn for him. It was really sad and I am sorry for him and his family......

Oct 12 /2017

Today at school I walked into my class seeing only a few kids, 5 to be exact. I knew the rest would be coming shortly so I grabbed my breakfast from the basket and went to my seat. While eating breakfast I saw a lot of kids coming out of nowhere into the room so that mean't their bus just came. Since I didn't have breakfast at my house I ate two bags of crackers and then drank a pint of white milk. Before first period started my teacher talked to the class about how we would continue watching the movie "Hoot" which is really bad. We already read the book which was decent, but the movie was made in 2006 and any movie that was made before 2015 isn't good.

The acting was horrible, the cast itself was bad, the movie made a bunch of changes from the movie, it was just cringy just watching it, and it was only an hour and 30 minutes. Most movies nowadays are at least 2 hours. For first period my class was going to Science, I walked with my class down the stairs to the room. There my teacher was handing kids their books and talking about what was on the board. Some notes for the next quiz that he was going to give us. After that I continued working on some open ended questions that we were going to talk about before the class ended. After Science the class I was most excited for came, Gym!

When I entered the gym I saw a bunch of kids already in there forming a circle. I joined the circle and the teacher started the warmups. I already mentioned what the warm up is from the previous posts so I'm not going to say it here but it is pretty relaxing. When I say relaxing I mean it lets me stretch my body so I can do the actual game and activities planned for that day. Today our teacher told us we had two warmups. One was the warmup we just did and the second was one kind of fun. Basically she put 5 hulahoops on the ground for each side and then put on some music. When the music stopped whoever wasn't in one of the hoops had to do 3 burpees. It was a fun time in gym.

After Gym was over it was time for Lunch. Usually I would have recess before lunch but since it was raining my class didn't go outside. Instead we continued to watch the "Hoot" movie until it was time to eat. Then we all got in a line and walked downstairs to the cafeteria to eat our food. For lunch the school gave the kids cheese sandwiches, juice, and an apple. When Lunch was over I had Technology and I just continued the program our teacher told us to use for our typing because I couldn't do anything else until I continued some of the lessons on the website. While in Technology there was a kid that people were getting mad at all the time and he was just making it worse for himself yelling at my friends and I.

After school was over I walked to my house and put my bookpack on the playroom. Then I took off my socks and sat on the kitchen table to eat my food. Once I finished I walked back to the playroom to grab my clothes and go to the bathroom. I changed in the bathroom and put my school uniform on top of the laundry machine. My dad was helping my sister with her Math so I quietly took out my school homework and did a grammer assignment my teacher gave me. Finally I put my school homework back in my book pack and then got my book. I set a timer on my watch and started reading. That was my day!

10/11 2017 Diary

I reluctantly woke up to the sound of my sister telling me to get up and go downstairs. I decided not to listen to her and instead go when I wanted to. That is why when it reached 6:45 A.M I walked downstairs to still feeling drowsy. My sister and dad were eating breakfast in the kitchen and I was walking towards the playroom to change my clothes for school. Then I realized that today was dress down so I could wear anything I wanted as long as I brung $2. However I wanted to take a shower because I felt kind of sweaty yesterday night before I went to sleep. Before taking a shower my dad told me to give my sister $2 for her dress down which I didn't want to do.

Once I finished taking the shower I felt clean or spotless even though I still had acne on my forehead. My dad and sister weren't in the house by the time I finished so I sat in the kitchen eating an egg sandwich. When my dad came back from dropping off my sister he did the laundry. Unfortunately because he was doing the laundry I didn't have any clothes to wear, at least that's what I thought. Until I checked my closet and saw a shirt as well as some short pants. At 8:00 A.M I walked out the door to my bus stop. When I arrived at the bus stop there was only one other kid there. I stood up reading my book until the bus came.

Then one of the parents came and told me that the bus was coming 15 minutes late. The thing was, the bus literally came 15 minutes late (exactly). Usually it came at around 8:30 A.M but today it came at 8:15 A.M! Because the bus was late today when I walked to class they weren't there. Instead it was a 6th grade class learning Health. For Social Studies my class was watching a 15 minute speech from a guy who was talking about Christopher Columbus. I think he was saying that Christopher Columbus was bad, but I don't know for sure. Anyway once the speech was finished I wrote some notes and then walked with my class to the multipurpose room.

For Community Circle my vice principal was talking about the sport athletes and how they should be the role models for the school. I really wanted to be in Cross Country (running group), but I didn't sign the huge paper that let me go. Then the class did some cheers and recess started. For recess I played tag with my friends and then for lunch ate a hot dog. The hot dog was microwaved and not tasty. I mean it was tasty but it was burnt. Yup, that describes the hot dog better. After that, when I finished lunch I walked with my class back upstairs to our room and then had Health. For Health we talked about the 7 demensions of wellness.

When I finished my school I got off my afternoon bus and then walked home. When I got home I saw my dad heating some pizza for me and my sister was eating on the kitchen table. I decided to take off my shoes and backpack. Then I went to the kitchen and ate food. After that I walked to the playroom and started doing my homework. All I had to do was finish a Science outline. Once I finsihed school homework I grabbed my book and continued reading from where I left off yesterday. After about 10 minutes I had to use the bathroom. When finishing my reading I asked my dad if I could type and did this....

10/10/ 2017

When it was 8:00 A.M I ran out of my house to my bus stop and then waited for my bus to come. While getting off the bus since it reached school I tried to go hide inside of the huge group of kids that were entering the school because I didn't want to ahve to tuck in my shirt. It is just a waste of time because i'll just untuck it as soon as I get to my class. Fortuanately I got past the adult was checking kids for the shirts to be tucked adn walked to my class. The first thing I realized was that all the kids in my class were standing outside the class with the vice principal so I know something happened.

It turns out that my homeroom teacher didn't come to school so for my whole day I had a substitute teacher. When I got into the class I grabbed breakfast from the back of the class and then walked to my desk. When it was time to line up I packed my bag and then headed to the back of the line. Then my class walked downstairs to the Social Studies room where we learned Social Studies, duh. After Social Studies my next class was Gym. My Social Studies teacher took my class to the gym and then we waited for our Gym teacher. After about 1 minute she arrived to take us outside to the football field.

Once at the football field our teacher told us to drop our book bags by the bleachers and then get on the white line closest to the goal. Then we did our usual warm up, putting our right and left arm across for 10 secoonds, trying to touch our toes for 10 seconds each leg, putting our right and left leg behind you for 10 seconds each, and then 10 pushups. When we finally finished that our teacher told us that we were supposed to play a game called, Pacman (actual game played in an arcade). Basically she would pick 3 ghosts and then the rest of the kids were Pacmans. Basically we would be running away from the ghosts. 

Unfortunately the game wasn't going too well because it took too long for the ghosts to get the Pacmans. That is why she added two other ghosts and that is when the game got more balanced. When it was time for the final round I volunteered to be the ghost and boy did I regret it. I started to get very tired and when the round finished I feel down to my knees gasping for air. My whole shirt was wet from how sweaty I was and that really made me a lot weaker than usual. I literally sat down on the playground as soon as it was time for recess and that was all I did that whole time. 

Now for my last period I wasnt to talk about the book I read. The book I am reading right now is called, "Wings of Fire: The Hidden Kingdom". It is a really good book, so far I've read about half the book. I will breiefly summarize what i've read.  So basically all five dragons (main characters) are going towrds the rainforest to see if they ahve any healers to help one of the dragons. That dragon is called,"Webs" and he is basically ding since a sandwing (type of dragon) stung him with poison. That is it so far. Until next time.

October 9th 2017 Columbus day

Yesterday, when my dad came home he didn't look too happy. I mean just judging from his face. He asked me if I did my homework and I said yes because I did. When I told him this his expression changed a little happier. Then he said I could go on my PS4 and play on it. My sister and mother weren't here because my mother wanted to cut her hair and eat some Tibetan food. Other than that my sister told me today that she went to the doctor to check on her hygiene (mother). At around 5:30 A.M I walked upstairs to where my dad was sleeping and asked him if I could go outside to the park. Then he got all mad for no reason and yelled, "Why are you asking me!".

Honestly the way he was yelling was very unnecessary. I ran downstairs and put on my crocs. After that I got my sweater since it was kind of raining and went outside to the park. At the park I saw 3/4 of my friends. Some of them weren't there probably because it was drizzling (little rain). Together with all of that were there we played some football and then just regular catch. It was pretty funny because of them just fell down while the other team was huddling and I could see his underwear! Other than that sometimes we threw the ball too fast and hard that it almost hit us and the other kids would be scared.

When the park was closed (at around 6:40 A.M) I ran home, while running I checked near the garbage can nearest to me when I turned the corner because last time I checked there was a dead raccoon just rotting there. Fortunately I didn't see it and continued running to the backyard of my house since the front was locked. After getting inside the house and locking the door I took of my crocs and got into the bathroom to take a shower. That was because I was sweating that whole time coming back home. I was assuming that my dad hadn't gotten out of his room yet because none of the lights were on when I walked in. 

With my body clean and wearing fresh clothes I walked up the stairs to tell my dad I came back from the park. I was kind of regretting my decision as I was walking up the stairs but when I saw his door almost closed I wasn't that worried. Without looking through the little opening I told my dad that I came back from the park and took a shower. As I figured he told me "Why are you telling me that?". Then when I was getting a drink from the refrigerator I asked him the same thing and he sure was mad. For the rest of that night I was just playing Fortnight on my PS4 until it was 9:30 A.M.

At around 9:11 A.M my game crashed on me while I was playing it (not my whole PS4, just the game I was playing on my system). As I checked my system it gave me a notification saying that the internet was turned off. I wasn't really mad about this because sometimes this happened and once I clicked on the wifi on my game it worked again with no issues. However when I tried to reconnect it my wifi wasn't popping up and was pretty confused. After about 5 minutes I pressed a button that was on top of the router, but it didn't do anything. That was when my dad came down and asked me why it wasn't working. I told him I didn't do anything but he didn't believe me and yelled at me! I was so and as I went upstairs to sleep because I didn't do anything! Anyway that was my whole day!

10/08/2017

Yesterday, after finishing my homework my dad came and read my post. I'm assuming he liked it because he didn't tell me it was bad. After he read my post I ran into the living room to see if anyone was using the TV. Fortunately no one was so I turned on my PS4 and started playing. The game that I played was called, "Fortnight" and for the last two weeks it has been becoming very popular. Almost everyone that has Playstation Plus plays this game. Basically it is a battle royale filled with 100 people. Then everyone gets on a bus that floats in the sky and drops down wherever they want to go. There are items randomly generated all around the map that help you eliminate everyone else. Last person standing wins the match.

After playing for about 4 hours, I heard my aunt say that she and my sister were going outside near the path station to play and relax. I decided to go only because I usually never go and sometimes they actually go places fun and then I miss it. That's why I decided to go with them and see what they were doing. When all three of us got out of the house my aunt said we were going to go to McDonalds and then buy some groceries for the house. The McDonalds part sounded good but my mom was making food at home and the grocery part was just plain boring. While walking to McDonalds near the path station I saw a bunch of Halloween stuff. People were getting ready to celebrate the holiday.

My aunt asked me what was the point of Halloween since she has only been in America for a year. That is when I realized even I didn't know the answer to that questions. Then I decided when I got home to check on the internet the answer to that question, I never did. The McDonalds was filled with people of all ages and races and for some reason I felt surprised by this. I ordered one big mac with a vanilla milk shake and a 20 piece box of chicken nuggets to bring home and eat tomorrow (today). All my sister wanted was a small bag of French fries, that was it. After about 20 minutes all of us finished our food and my aunt grabbed a bag to put the chicken nuggets in.

When I walked out the door I felt a bit cold and my stomach was really hurting. This was probably because I ate a bit too much from before going outside and knowing that I had pasta at home. I decided to immediately use the bathroom when I got home and only eat like 3 spoonfuls of the food my mom was making so she at least she wouldn't get mad at my aunt for bringing us outside to eat food when she already made. Only after one minute my aunt wanted to go to Rite Aid and check on something. I forgot what it was, but when we got to Rite Aid I immediately sat down on one of the chairs so my stomach would hurt less.

By the time it was 8:00 P.M I told my aunt this and all three of us (don't forget my sister) went home. But of course we could forget to go to the supermarket because my mom wanted my aunt to get a box of Ginger Ale and quote "Make sure its normal". You see, I remembered my aunt brought home diet Ginger Ale and that is supposed to be healthier at least but my mom said it tasted weird. At home my mom actually made pasta and I had some of it. Then she walked into the living room to watch TV and I decided not to ask if I could use my game since she would probably get really mad. At 9:30 A.M I went to sleep.

10/07/ 2017 Saturday Diary

When I woke up I realized it was Saturday and checked to see if my dad was in his room. When I saw that he wasn't I woke up my sister and then we both went downstairs. By that time my aunt came up and was making breakfast for the two of us. She made boiled eggs with parata (Indian bread) and I really liked it. Of course I couldn't go without the milk because that helps me digest the food down. After an hour or 60 minutes my mom came into the house and sat down my aunt, then they both started talking. That was when my dad called my mom and told me to do my homework. For homework I would have to write five paragraphs and then read 45 pages of a library book that he got.

I can't talk about the five paragraphs because I am doing that right now but I can talk about the book I read. The book I read today was called, "Yang the Eldest and His Odd Jobs". The reason I picked this book out of the 5 other books at my disposal was because this book seemed the most fun or entertaining. The cover of the book has the title (obviously) and then a picture of Yang carrying a plate full of sushi (I think) and on his other hand a hammer. On the side of his head there is a violin and then a phone on his neck. I think the author is trying to emphasize the violin because it has those little lines on it that make it look like it's shining.

I want to also talk about the author of the book. Her name is "Lensey Namioka," apparently she was born in Beijing, China and then moved to the United States with her family when she was still a child. A weekly trade news magazine by the name of "Publisher's Weekly" had commented on her writings saying that they "Shed Light on the Chinese-American culture in a manner that at times recalls Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club". Lensey Namioka is an author with many great novels for young children (young readers). Her first three books were "Yang the Youngest and His Terrible Ear," Yang the Third and Her Impossible Family," and "Yang the Second and Her Secret Admirers". Now she lives with a husband in Seattle.

Now I want to summarize the book or at least what i've read so far (44 pages). Yang and his siblings were all in one room practicing their music. Suddenly Yang complained about his violin stating that it was making a buzzing sound that distracted him. All his siblings could hear the buzzing along with him and decided that Yang should go to "Mr. Vitelli's Violin Shop" and try to repair it. That's why the next day Yang went to Mr. Vitelli's shop to try and find out what the problem was. Yang and his whole family knew that Mr. Vitelli's shop was the best place to try and fix their instruments or ever get new ones.

When Yang got there Mr. Vitelli observed the violin and found out that the Sound bar in the violin was loose and needed to be put back together to be stable. When Yang asked how much it would cost to repair his violin Mr. Vitelli replied saying that it would be around $2,000. Yang new right away he didn't have that much money and asked to observe some of the other violins in the shop. Suddenly he came across one violin that looked really new. When asking how much money the violin would be Mr. Vitelli stated he didn't have a price on it since he only just made it. Now it would be up to Yang on how to find the money to afford a repair and with the help of his siblings he began the search. 

10/06/2017

At 5:30 A.M I woke up, grabbed my glasses, put on my watch, and walked downstairs. After about 15 minutes my sister came down as well. The both of us changed our clothes (I didn't actually change my clothes since it was a dress down for perfect attendance at my school) and then brushed our teeth (or at least I did). Once it was 7:10 A.M I took my sister to her bus stop which was in, "West Side/ Dekalb". By the time we got there it was 7:13 A.M. I let her pay with her friends while I just watched her to make sure she didn't get hurt in any way. Sooner or later (around 7:25) I had anticipated something happened to the bus because it never comes this late.

After waiting for 10 more minutes I started to get paranoid. What if my sister's bus came after 8:00 A.M (when I'm supposed to leave the house for my bus stop). When it was 7:40 A.M I heard one of the parents say that the bus was canceled and not going to come to my sister's stop. On that note I took my sister back to the house, then I went into the bathroom to take a shower. Fortunately it was 7:50 A.M when I was finished with the shower and I put on some clean clothes. At 8:00 A.M I departed (better word for run) out the door with my sister while still remembering to lock the door behind me and turn off the lights in the house.

When we got to the bus stop it was good  to see only a few of the parents already there. Before I even knew it the bus came and my sister and I got on. They're is some that I remembered happening yesterday. It was about a boy in my class (friend) called, "Ahmad Khiligi". He was a Pakistani and just walking to the library at my school when suddenly a kid walking bye said, "Eww, MUSLIM". When he told me this I was astonished! I didn't think that there were any kid sin this whole generation who would say something like this! I guess this proves me wrong, when I told my dad this he was disgusted as well. Fortunately my friend told the principal on the kid.

Anyway lets continue with the rest of the day. When I go to school the first thing I saw were kids everywhere wearing dress down. That made me feel good, knowing I wasn't the only person wearing dress down. Now that I say it, it makes me feel pretty stupid thinking I would be the only kid wearing dress down. For first period I had Technology. It was a pretty good class, I was just doing my typing lessons and then playing a game called, "Splix.io" which is called "Paper.io" on phones. After Technology my next class was Dance and for Dance we weren't actually dancing. Instead we had to take a quiz on dancing! It was pretty easy though so no need to worry.

After Dance was Lunch and the food was pretty bad, the bad pizza. Square shaped and crusty shaped on all sides....Who could eat that?!? Anyway my next period was Spanish and we basically just danced to music and then listen to a state capitals rap of all spanish speaking countries. When that was over my last and final class was ELA. All wew did was write an answer to a question about what should be done to help plant life stay abundant. I bunch of people had some pretty good observations as to what should be done (not including me) and after ELA I got on my afternoon bus home.
