This week I went to speech and debate camp Monday through Wednesday so I won’t have much to say.

We worked on speech today, I got really nervous which was weird because I spoke in front of about 50 people a couple weeks ago, but 15 made me nervous? I guess because they were there to learn about speech and debate and were older.

Today we started debate. The debate practice games were a ton of fun. I think I did ok, and it was less nerve racking than speech because everyone else was bad too.

Today we did an actual debate round and it was amazing! We did great and last night I did some research on the topic, so I really knew it, and they let me use it in the round, while everyone else used the provided material, so they didn’t have a defence. It was awesome!!!!!

Today I got back to regular school. It was a lot more relaxed because I wasn’t leaving before 8 and I didn’t need to worry about lunch. My work wasn’t incredibly hard because I kept up with math, doing it ahead last week, and doing half a lesson after speech and debate. I also got ahead in Bible and other stuff and mom cut out some other things.

Today I finished up most of my school. I made a fancy lunch for Adi and me, and played with magnets. Mom and I did a lot of reading on our stuff, and I read a ton of Going Solo By Ronald Dahl. I haven’t had it all week so I couldn’t read it until today. It is better than most of his other books, but I wouldn’t really suggest it. I’m not a big fan of his books, if you read the actual books of James and the Giant Peach, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory they’re pretty wacky and not very good. Also Mary Poppins the book is actually horrible and nothing like the movie, Julie Andrews portrays a good character, while in the book Mary Poppins is harsh and incredibly vain.
