Hello Vella Karman here, a homeschooled 11 year old. I am in 6th grade. I like to dance ballet, especially point, and I also write my own stories. I can't see what I am doing in ballet but I can feel the beauty of it, and I praise God with it. Maybe later I will post some of my stories, I want people to see my work but I am afraid they will think it's terrible and say I am awful at writing. But I still want your comments even if that's what you have to say, I'll try not to take it personally, I am looking for constrictive criticism so say what you really think.

Voting day, wow. I trust that God will take care of our country as it plunges into this misery, He will take care of us if Trump or Hillary is President.

For Bible I got to choose out of several women to read about, I choose Abigail, because my leader in church is named Abigail and I thought it would be interesting to learn more about her namesake. She was the wife of Nabal and then David.

We finally finished our science book!!! I was so happy that for a second I didn’t care who gets to be President, that was until I learned that if Hillary Clinton wins, my world and many others will be turned upside down,

Today mom wasn’t feeling well so we didn’t do science or history. So I won’t have that much to write about today, but I can tell you some of what we did do, so here it goes..

We did do Bible, did you know that Samson was strong enough to lift and carry for miles uphill a weight heavier than a van???

Today we read several chapters of the Trojan War, it is a long book. It is really hard to understand, and mom is also having trouble with the names. We did science and it was about how bodyflight works. It would be really cool but a bit scary to bodyfly.

I wrote a limerick, before you read it I would like you to know that they’re not supposed to make sense.

An Ode to Popcorn

By Vella Karman

Popcorn, oh popcorn in a hat

Popcorn, oh popcorn what do you think of that

Delicious and yummy

Popcorn in my tummy

It is even delicious to a cat

Now all I have to do is convince mom to let me have popcorn. The orthodontist is fine with it, but mom isn’t. :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Stuff happened today. I didn’t get much school done because we stayed up and watched the game last night. I was up until 12:12, go Cubs!!

Maybe new library in Pine Bluff

Pine Bluff may get a new library, it will be on the ballot for the 8th. The old one flooded and is in a bad location. The population is dropping and this might help. It will probably be on main street if it passes. We will see if it passes very soon.

I woke up this morning and groaned, “Another day of school.” No not really but time is really flying, Nutcracker is soon, dad’s 40th Birthday, and as all of those on my dad’s side know, Aunt Sarah’s wedding!!! It’s this Saturday, and I want to meet Uncle Matt sometime soon!!!

In LA I wrote a definition poem about ballet, here it is.

What is ballet?

Flying, soaring

Flexing, pushing

Stories, Music

Leaping, twirling

Happiness, acheivment

Passion, love

Happiness

Praising God

My life

Sorry about all the spaces, there is a setting so it goes down two lines when I hit enter, and I couldn’t get it to change.

We are about to finish our science book!!! Yay!!!!! I get, and got that evelution isn’t real!!!! I know this, it didn’t happen, there is no withstanding proof that I see, there is  no real proof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to bang my head against the wall. Seriously.

“Happy 1/2 price candy day!!!” Is what I would usually say today, but the candy wasn’t 1/2 price!! Oh the horror! It is usually 1/2 price because of Halloween, but it wasn’t this year, but we still found some candy on sale! Yay!!! Today is also the first of November!!! And I’m still in short sleeves, well that’s Arkansas for you. But dad’s birthday is in November, and only two more months until January!!! Wow, seems like it was just yesterday when the new year came, but so much has happened sense then… Speaking of things happening, last night I was thinking about something and they were having a conversation, they were talking about potatoes, and then mom said she couldn’t imagine not having them, at least that’s the part I heard and I said “You can’t imagine having potatoes???” Incredulously, not realizing until after that she was talking about us kids. We got a good laugh out of that one!!! And mom was acting frustrated and Adi said, “If your acting like this you need a nap!” And mom said “Yes I do, can I go take one!!! And Adi said “Once you get me on the computer!”

Today in history we didn’t read the same things in two different books, Yay!!! I think Romans are mostly Greek, they stole their “gods,” stories, and land. The Romans were very rich, and built a lot of roads!!! They had milestones, stones that told you how many miles until you got somewhere. They were the first to use concrete, and aqua-ducts.

Halloween, most kids would be saying “yay my favorite holiday,” at least I think. But not me, I’m the kid who didn’t even know how to spell it right until today, (there was a red line under the word so I tried a different spelling and it worked! Ha, that’s crazy, when does it ever work:) We believe that Halloween is celebrating Satan. All the dressing up as scary things and such, they say “it’s just for the candy,” or “it’s just for fun.” Did I just take the words from your mouth? Exactly. We defonitly have fun, Purim, Passover, Sukkot, and we’re even celebrating Christmas this year!!!! The first three are holidays the Bible tells us to celebrate, I’m not saying you’re wrong in celebrating or not celebrating these things, God has led us down this path, but God may not want you to go down it too.

Bible started with Moses dies, Victory. Isn’t that funny? Moses died, they crossed the not flowing Jordan river on dry land. Joshua was in charge of the army before Moses died, and it took years of fighting to conquer Israel, we looked at a map and it used to be a lot bigger!!! Did you know that the walls of Jericho were more than 46 ft, and it may be the oldest known settlement known today. We saw a picture of the ruins, Israel is known as the land of palm trees.

Assiria was conquered by Babalon, it was conquered by Persia, Persia and Greece were conquered by Alexander the Great. We read the founding of Rome from two books.

Adding stuff like feathers and tails to “prove” evelution. The list of these changes goes on and on.

AT&T in a movie?

AT&T has bought Time Warner Inc. for $85.4 billion dollars!!! They are probably going to use it for marketing. It is now going to own a lot of the movies and TV shows they let people use. It will probably be a good thing for them.

To fight or not?

As the fight continues in Mosul, there were a bunch of attacks around Kirkuk before dawn on Friday, the 21st. Killing 14 people at the least, and starting a big fight with the security guards. Three suicide bombers attacked a power plant in Dibis, killing 14 people. A reporter for a TV station covering the attack was killed while covering the fighting. Bartella was liberated by Iraqi on Thursday. The fighting Keeps on going.
