It's almost October 31st, which is the day of Halloween! This weekend, I'm going to a Halloween carnival at my church, where you play games for candy, and tell scary stories.
      One of the best things at the carnival are the games. The games are organized for different levels, A,B, and C. The "C" level games are for the little kids, grades 1-4. The "B" level games are for the grades 5-8, and the "A" levels are from ninth grade to above. The reason why they do this is because it's a better way for everyone to get candy. It's organized, and easy. Every year, there are always kids who try to play the games that are higher than their level, and the result is that they lose. Yep, the games can be REALLY hard. The food is great though. They have chili dogs, french fries, chili-cheese fries, nachos, churros, and drinks. It's really yummy! They have a haunted house in the chapel, and it's really scary! It's scary, but fun! There's always a surprise in the haunted house every year, so that it'll be interesting.
       Well this ends today's blog! Have a good weekend and on Halloween, try to get a lot of candy!
      
 
      This Friday is possibly the longest Fridays of my life. Yesterday, I got homework lab for not finishing a report for Core, and so Mrs. Kanzler gave me a slip for homework lab today after school. I dread it. Why did it have to be this Friday? I have to go to my dad's house today too! it doesn't help that it feels like classes are 20x longer either. 
      Hopefully next week is going to be more fun than it seems. Today on the broadcasts announcements, they said that we were allowed to wear sweats to promote no more smoking or using drugs. The motto this year is "Don't sweat it!". To be honest, I think that it's nothing different. Anyway, I think we're also going to have a Crazy Hair Day too. It's when students can design their hair differently, and crazily. Hence, CRAZY Hair day. To be honest, Crazy Hair Day sounds a lot of fun. You can go to school with a bedhead and still not get noticed! I can't wait! So hope you enjoyed reading and have a good weekend everyone!
 
               I don't have many things to do this weekend except going to my dad's house. Since I've been exhausted this week, I think some reading and napping should do some good. It's been really cold lately, since winter is coming up. I should probably drink something warm or hot, while being covered in a snuggly blanket. I can't wait until winter is over.
               I was looking forward to going to the animal shelter today for the Purple Ribbon Club, but sadly I have to go to my dad and watch my little half-brother. My half-brother's name is Nathan, and he can get into a lot of trouble for a 1-year old. You'd be surprised that he was a human instead of a monkey! He acts like he owns my dad's computer, screaming until one of his favorite shows are on YouTube. Like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Elmo. To be honest, he's really getting on my nerves. I almost can't finish my homework because he always manages to somehow break something or even sneak in my room! It really irritates me. Come to think of it, I still need to finish my Glogster posters for my French and Science classes! Maybe I WON'T be able to nap after all. 
               The good thing is, my grades are catching up! I don't have a C in Science class anymore! Also, today is the last day of swimming in P.E.! No more swimming in the cold and being late to Mrs. Dunlap's class anymore! However, I'm really stressing out about my Computer class grade. What if my document has the wrong layout? What if My Digital Life's score turned out to be terrible? So many worries, so little stress. I just want a nice, long, nap to calm myself down.
 
         I can't wait until after school's over! It's going to be so much fun! Mainly because it's Friday and I can stay up late as I can, but it's mostly because I'm going to the Fresno Fair! On account of today, me and my friend Shyann are going to the fair together, but first we have to go to the Animal Compassion Team building on Orange Street for the Purple Ribbon/Dog Club. I can't wait to play with all the puppies and kittens waiting for me! Then after that, we quickly eat at Mcdonalds and then we go to the Fresno Fair! Shyann wants me to go on the Super-Shot ride, where you have to go up 13 stories high, and then all of a sudden you drop down. I rode it last year I was really scared! So I told Shyann that I'm not going on it, even if she forces me. No way am I ever going through that traumatic experience again. I just hope that everything goes in order and that there won't be any bad things happening. Today is going to be great! 
           I hope that the ACT animal shelter will be fun too, because when it comes to puppies and kittens, I'm the one you need. I have 2 dogs so I'm already used to being close to animals, and I hope that the cats won't bite me. Anyway, let's make this day great!
 
    Yes! It's Friday! Which is, by the way, my weekly holiday. I just want to sleep throughout the whole weekend, because today has been pretty hectic. First of all, the rally today changed our whole schedule! Every class has about 36 or 32 minutes, and I almost got lost after 6th period. I thought that we were suppose to eat lunch after 6th period today, but when I came out there was no line at the cafeteria, and I saw students moving left and right, right and left. I thought that they were going to the gym, so I went along, but then when I asked my friend Kassy, she said that we were supposed to go to 7th period. I was like "OH! Okay!" in my head, and I was a bit confused. So I quickly went to room 74, my computer class, and I saw most of the students already there. I let out a sigh of relief in my head, and quickly sat in my seat. 
    During 1st period, the new student body president, Imani Branch, said that we were suppose to pick a representative for homeroom to build up the student body community. The candidates of my homeroom quickly raised their hands (including me), and we had to write someone's name on a piece of paper and give it to the teacher to vote. Well today was a nice day, and I hope the weekend will be better!
 
    I absolutely can't wait for Saturday! My mom said that we would be going to Pismo Beach, since she has a day off. It's going to be so much fun! Tonight we're going to pack our things and then wake up at 6:20 A.M. tomorrow so we can have a headstart. I can imagine myself sitting on the lounge chairs, making sand castles, swimming with my little cousin, and eat at the restaurant over there! I just can't wait!
    Also, school was pretty easy today. All we did was tests and mini quizzes. In CORE class, we learned about the Arab world, and did geography worksheets of Arab. During French class, we used Rosetta Stone, and we were told to make a collage poster or digital powerpoint of things we like or don't like. During Pre-Algebra, Mr. Dorman was playing the song "Friday" by Rebecca Black. Personally, I'm not a big fan of that song, because the lyrics don't fit well together, but it's catchy. Well this was a short blog post, but I hope that this weekend will be fun!
 
    So far on My Digital Life, I've learned about many things. I learned how to pick the right computer, viral activities, and how to keep my personal information safe. I've also learned to not text or call when driving, and try to keep away from being addicted to the internet too much. The pop quizzes aren't that difficult when you take it after the things you've learned, compared to the mini quiz at the beginning. 
    I think my favorite part of My Digital Life, is when we choose stuff for the "Still Beating Hearts" concert. I'm not much of the fan of the polls though. My favorite section that I learned along the way, was the "viral world". The story of it was when one of the characters used identity theft to make themselves an account on a site called "YouVille" . I also liked it when I did the "No Texting While Driving" part. The girl had an attitude, which made it for fun and slightly challenging.
    During school, I managed to finish My Digital Life. At first, I was sort of disappointed because it was really fun, but on the bright side I can finish my website, other assignments, and possibly go on ABCYA! or other typing games on Mr. Kimbleys website. My Digital Life taught me many things, and I was having a really great time learning from it, and if you're reading this, you should try it ouyt sometime and I hope you have a great time too.
 
    Today I had so much fun at school. Me and Nickie were dancing at break and lunch while Shyann was at the library. People were staring at us, but we didn't care. We kept on dancing anyway. I definitely had a great time. 
    Speaking of today, today's my mom's birthday! She's turning 36 years old. I hope that she has the best birthday ever because I'm not going to be able to celebrate with her since I'm staying with my dad over the weekend. When I come back, I'll probably make a scrapbook for her as a present, showing all our favorite memories. There will be a party too, with cake, presents, guests, and games! Usually, my mom and I just go to a chinese buffet to celebrate, but this year we get to throw a party for her to show how much we appreciate her.  My uncle is going to say a speech, and possibly I will too, since the party is going to be on a Sunday because that's when I get back from my dad. 
    I'm looking forward to the weekend, and I hope it will be a nice one. Hopefully we get to have good memories and good times.
 
   Today at school was really fun so far. I'm in my computer class right now. I'm so nervous for the typing test, because I'm not that talented at typing but I'm getting there! Mr. Kimbley said that my typing goal is to get 30 words per minute. I practiced yesterday and I only got 23..but that's better than nothing. The drama club is opening today after school. I don't know if I should join though. Mainly because my dad gets freaked out when I don't come home on time. Anyway, I hope the typing test will be easy. I need to quit typing with my FINGERS and start typing with my HANDS! Also, the substitute teacher yesterday was really friendly. He uses metaphors sometimes in his sentences. He is really interesting. I also saw the mouse Mrs. Poole has in her classroom. Mrs. Poole calls her Carol, and she's a black and white spotted mouse who is terrified of people. She was originally going to be Mr. Kirste's pet snake's food, but Mrs. Poole decided to keep her instead. 
    At break, Nikki, Kassy, and I were at the shady trees at the hills near the school. The school was having games and other fun stuff, so we decided to watch. Shyann and Catherine weren't here today, but oh well. Anyway, hopefully today goes alright and doesn't have anymore problems.
 
       Nothing different has happened today. I'm so happy because its the 3 DAY WEEKEND!! School is fun and all, but sometimes all we need is a nice break. A 3-day weekend is just what the docter ordered. On Labor Day, I'm going to a barbeque!! Also I'm going to a chinese buffet later tonight. I love it when my family goes out because that's when we have the most fun together. 
        
        I like it best when I'm hanging out with my friends from my old school. Most of them live in my neighborhood, and there's a park with a playground and swings nearby, so we would always meet there. I hope that they won't call me a "nerd" just because I come here. But if they do, who cares! I'm a nerd and proud of it! Haha. 

        Speaking of friends, I'm meeting a Computech student too! In my earlier posts, Shyann goes to Computech AND my church. So then me and her would have a ton of fun together. I just hope that she ACTUALLY comes instead of not coming at all. Hopefully today goes okay.
