Today Mom Reed Adi and the same kid who we’re babysitting again went to the store to pick up our online order. I stayed home to do school. :( I have several things I’m dreading such as four math lessons, and two current events. Tomorrow I have a church lock-in which is going to be really fun!!!!!!!! It is for fifty-six which is the thing I’m in, it’s sort of the transition between Sunday school and youth group, next year I’ll be going to regular church on Sundays and then youth group on Wensdays. As already stated by the name, at least I hope the name made it clear the fifth and sixth graders get to do the lock-in. I went last year and it was a ton of fun, we get to have inflatables inside the church and we roast marshmellows outside, we also have basketball and volleyball, and later we watch a movie. I went to sleep at two-something last year, and then I had ballet and stuff, this year I plan on going to bed before two, because I have point class, Nutcracker practice and other stuff to do on Saturday. But I still plan on staying up late, even though I’m already staying up until 10:30, or later on a regular bases.

Tapioca is from the Cassava plant, we use tapioca to make flour, and pretty much everything. The Nazca drawings are amazing, but they used math. Noooooooooooooo!!!!!! Art isn’t supposed to use math!!! The crazy 9-feet tall heads are amazing, most people are only five, or six feet tall! Just think if they had bodies!!!!!

Today mom and Adi went to the store, and library and Reed and I stayed home to do school. I probably spent at least an hour on critical thinking, I had to take strips of paper and fold them, and then I had to cut them into circles to make big and small hooked circles. It was really hard because if the paper was too thick then it wouldn’t fold, but if it was too thin then it would brake and not form the loops, and for about half of it the scissors I was using weren’t working right.

Math was okay. It didn’t teach me anything today, I am on lesson 20 something and I have already done 4 quizzes, I wonder when it will stop reviewing? Oh well, better too easy than too hard.

Later today I’m going to get my first pair of point shoes!!! My goal for this year is to be better on the stage, and be the best soldier that I can be in the Nutcracker. Not to brag bu the Nutcracker that I’m in is supposed to be the best in the state!!! Maybe that’s why it costs $75 to be in it, and I don’t even get to keep the costume, but it is way more than worth it, my three life dreams are to be on point, be in the Nutcracker, and get one of my books published, and two of those are happening THIS year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today for Bible we had to think of a way that we are like Moses, it took a bit to find something iother than we both have a relationship with God. But I finally came up with the fact that we both inlove people, and we stand up for what we think is right, when I have strong feeling towards something then you don’t want to mess with me, I was the one who got in trouble in preschool for telling kids that Santa wasn’t real, they deserved to know the truth, they shouldn’t have been lied to, and when they find out that they had been lied to by their parents all those years won’t they feel hurt, and like they can’t trust their parents anymore? But no, I am not allowed to simply tell them the truth and save them from that without getting in trouble with the parents, no less. I just wrote this whole  153 word count thing to find out that it was a mistake, and I was supposed to be writing how I am like Abraham. UUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am like Abraham because I worry a lot and sometimes doubt God’s plan.

The story of the world said that Moses just told Pharaoh to let the Israelites go it skipped him escaping and the 40 years after, and it missed most of the plagues, including the last one.  I don’t know what Bible their reading, but it sure isn’t the same one I am reading! And this hasn’t been the first time they’ve done it, there has been several other Bible stories gone wrong in the book.

I thought The Kingdom Strikes Back was interesting today. It was talking about Jonah being mad at God for not destroying Nineveh, and they had quite an earful to say about it too. It was as I said, Interesting.

Today was awesome, I have not eaten lunch yet and I have finished school. It is 11:54, and I even got to play Wii with Reed before school.

I did some extra yesterday, like I wrote a poem I was supposed to be taking notes for, but I got carried away and wrote it already. Here it is;

Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman

and then she gave

freedom to all from the clubman

Yay for Harriet Tubman

By From me to you

We did a science experiment about cohesion today. It was very fun, we put a drop each of water, soapy water, canola oil, and rubbing alcohol. Then we compared how tall they were, they were the tallest in this order water, canola oil, rubbing alcohol, and last of all soapy water.

I wrote a whole paragraph about being a gold nugget  in gold rush territory from the rough draft I made yesterday. It was fun but took a while. I ended up as a gold leaf on the queens neckless. My whole family lives on the neckless with me, and we are a very close family.

Today our principle/dad/substitute teacher/guidance councilor taught us today because our mom is going to funeral out of state today and tomorrow. I miss our teacher/mom/guidance councilor but I did have a lot of fun with our substitute teacher.

In science we learned about enzymes. They are sort of cool, and I like how they make fruits and vegetables ripen, meat be more tender, and make it so we can make cheese. The questions were ok, not too hard but not super easy.

Today is my birthday!!! At one something in the morning today I turned 11. I got a phone call from my cousins, a birthday card from my grandparents, and a lot of happy birthdays. For those of you who know what this means I did two double pirouettes finally  getting it pretty much down. What I mean to say is it’s been a really awesome day!!!

The Arabs built some underground water canals to take water to places without any and so that farming was possible in more places.

Istanbul is in Turkey. It means in the city. 1,530,000 people live there. It is the largest city in Turkey and started out as a fishing village.

Job thinks God is mad at him and that He is ignoring him. Job is confusing.

In science we started a new book about nutrition. It seems ok, it has lots of experiments.

In our new book about economics we read about recessions and depressions. I was wondering during reading why money has to represent something or have some value. I mean if everybody wanted to we could just have paper and there is no gold. Because I don’t really see why it has to be valuable.

Today I didn’t get much school done partly because we went to the Chiropractor and the store this morning, also because I spent a lot of time helping mom with our dessert for tomarow when we have people over for diner, and also partly because I’ve been trying to get this thing that I need to work to do part of my school to work and it took a bunch of time but it still didn’t work.

In binder work I had to choose a animal to learn about and I chose Pandas. I chose Pandas because they are my second favorite animal and they’re endangered.

I did two days of spelling today. I am behind in spelling and it was good to do two because it helped me catch up. I got a B in one and a A in the other one.

We read some super duper weird folk tales about Russia!!!

I was still feeling not good today so I bearly got anything done at all.

The poem that we read today was about caterpillers.

Science was about your eyes still. We learned about how you see in color, and how you see light. Did you know that all babies are born with blue eyes? Isn’t that cool.
