In Bible today I had to make a comic about one of the stories about David in 1 Samuel. I chose David and Johnithin, I don’t know how to spell Johnithins name right. It took a long time, I did stick figures and wrote a little bit of the story. But I had to rewrite some things to have enough room to write what they say, but it is a very shortened version. I showed David and Johnithin talking before, the hiding place, Saul saying David must die, and Johnithin shooting arrows. I know there is a few more parts, but I had to make it shorter. I thought it was interesting that it was Davids idea to lie to Saul, I didn’t really think about it before.

7.8 EARTHQUAKE
by Vwala •
A 7.8 earthquake in New Zealand around midnight startles sleepwalkers. With two dead, one of a heart attack. They don’t think any more people have been killed, but you never know. This major earthquake went on for about three minutes, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. This earthquake also caused a minor tsunami, almost making it a national crisis, but they decided not to declare it a national crisis because they are prepared to deal with the damage. That’s months of work for New Zealand right there.

Today in bible I read about Saul and then had to tell someone why he failed, it is because he disobeyed God. He did it a bunch of times, and then he tried to hurt David, who had God with him. Today I had to do 8 science questions, they were ok.

I think the blog must of deleted this journal, because I wrote it. It is now next week and I don’t know what happened to it, or all of what happened on this day. I am sorry. I drew pictures of two giants and named them Math, and Spelling, then I had to write a bible verse about not being afraid from 1 Samuel 17 under it. I wrote some of what David said to the giant. I didn’t finish science yesterday so I had to answer about 14 questions. It took a long time.

Today we went on a field trip to go shopping, mom took us to khols to look for things we need, and to pickup some food. It took a long time, and then tonight we went shopping at savers, and we found a game we used to have but had to get rid of that wasn’t missing too many pieces, and we got it!!! We played it in the store waiting for dad to finish trying on pants, and it’s really fun. We will get a few days off for thanksgiving, and dad’s birthday is this Saturday. So that’s what’s going on in the next few weeks.
Because of fore mentioned activities we didn’t get much school done, (mom likes to go during the day so it’s not as busy) we didn’t even do our history!!! So I don’t have much to write about, but I did get to do a few things. I did critical thinking, and I labeled things by size for that. And I did handwriting, it was okay. I also finished my reader, it was Shades of Gray, a great book about the time after the civil war.

Today we went on a field trip to the library and we stayed a while, they have a contest going on right now, they have quilts all over the place and you vote for a quilt or two, and the quilt with the most votes wins. Some friends were at the library.
We are starting James in Bible, he says to be glad to be tested, I know I won’t always be glad about the test, but I can be glad to have a wonderful God to give me the test. I liked James 1:19-20, it is a good one to think about.
We started a new science book, I never thought I would be this glad to be doing biology again. It still talks about evolution but way less, we did the intro and it seems okay, but we have 28 questions that we have to answer about it and our Friday reader this week, we usually have about 15-16.

Today was another loooooooong day of school, we learned about wind tunnels and air pressure in science, as well as a way that they made to prevent gasses from building up, it breaks down the molecules in the gasses, then they are pretty harmless. That is a great way to cut down on any greenhouse gasses, and it would help air pollution too. We also learned about cube worlds, it is a little bit odd, but it might be interesting to watch.
To the moon and back, in my sports utility vehicle?
by Vwala •
There have been some flying cars spotted in California. They are so top secret the company Zee.Aero, won’t disclose anything, not even what they are doing. They have a patented, and we know of at least several types with different kinds of motors, they have vertical lift, they hover and land nicely. It is not very loud according to Steve Eggleston, the assistant manager of a airplane parts company in Hollister California. Zee.Aero has purchased a landing strip, and may be close to a scientific breakthrough. They have some of the best scientists working for them, so maybe we will be going “to the moon and back,” in the near future.

Today we went on a field trip to places that I am about to tell you what are, we dropped off donations at savers, did a walmart pick up, went in to get eggs and pledge because it was too late to add those. Went to the library, and got an awesome movie about ballet. Took lunch to dad because he forgot it, realized that we didn’t get him turkey, so he only had bread and an apple, (in hindsight I am really glad that I added an apple) went partly to the store with dad, realized that we had a bunch of refrigerated stuff in the back that had been waiting for a hour, turned around dropped him off and went home to get the stuff in the fridge. Then it was lunch, so we ate lunch, and then did school. I didn’t finish because I had a test in math, (Dad decided that he didn’t want me starting pre-algebra yet) and a big thing for Bible, I have to look up and then write down almost everything I can find about Israel’s enemies, and now it is 8:00 I haven’t finished school and I am going to have to do it tomorrow, (by the way am singing the song from Annie) and I think you are crazy to be reading this because I am crazy and have lost my marbles, literally, I lost almost all of them. And now I am rambling on and on, and I am misspelling words that I am sure I know, and I would be kind of surprised if you are understanding more than half of what you are reading. Adi tried to color Reed’s hair green, but I stopped her, and now that I have bored you with almost every little thing that came to mind I shall wrap it up, figuratively. If I had said that all in one breath I would be red as a cherry right now.

Tomorrow I am starting pre-algebra, I was bored so I asked mom if I could do pre-algebra because I was a year ahead and then last year we switched maths, and I didn’t know the trick to multiply large numbers with 0’s in my head. So I didn’t end up being ahead and now it’s boring.
Mom accidentally gave me Reed’s spelling test, French words and all, though the French words don’t count. I got a B.
