3rd Place

Listening To: Beautiful Love by The Afters
Feeling: Sore

Today my baseball team had a Majors tournament. And ,yes you guessed it, we came in third. There were only 3 teams in the tourney and they were all from the same little league. We won the first and lost the next 2 :( But we did get a medal!

After the tourney, the whole Majors league had a hit pitch and run. The hit part is where you hit 3 balls off a tee and they measure how far it landed. The pitch part was where you had to pitch 6 balls and hit a target of about the size of a clipboard but a little bit bigger from 45 Ft. back. The run part was where you had to run from 2nd base to 3rd base and then home as you were timed. On the running, I got 7.28 seconds wich is good for my size. On the pitching part I hit the target 2 out of 6 times, not so good. I for got how far hit the 3 balls. All in all, it was a great day!

Marble Party!

Listening To: nuthin'
Feeling: pretty good

So I'm in the fifth grade and at my school we have moon money. That's fake $ and we can buy things like paper clips and stuff for like 200,000 bucks. That's not that much actually. And sometimes my teacher auctions stuff off. Today, he auctioned off a water bottle, some fruit punch mix and 2 tickets for the other teacher(a.k.a. his wife)'s marble party in the afternoon. My friend and I both bought one and we both got to skip class and join their party.

A marble party is when the class gets to watch a movie and eat snacks and drink pop. The movie this time was The Chronicles Of Narnia The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I had so much fun, but we didn't get to finish it. The other teacher said that her class would finish it tomorrow and if our teacher would let us, then we could come back and finish it too. Hope he's in a good mood!:)

Lost Last nigh was SO good! I wanna know what kinda "tests" the others had Walt do, and what "the room" was when the black woman threatened Walt to put him in "the room" when he was talking to Michael. Pheww, need to take a breath! Can't wait for the season finale! :)

I'm a Graduate and a Bus Boy!

Felling: Pooped
Listening To: Over My Head by The Fray

Well Friday I graduated from D.A.R.E. DARE is a program that teaches you about drugs and alcohol and what the bad effects if you use them. A local police officer teaches it to the 5th grade. He comes for like 10 weeks to teach for about and hour every Tuesday. Once that's done, we learn a song and we sing at the graduation. At the graduation, which is held at the high school's auditorium, a judge, the officer who taught us, the sheriff, and the principal talk. Then our name is called and we walk and get the diplomas and shake everyone's hand. Afterward there is cake and punch! We also get a shirt that says DARE on it and we all wear those graduation hats, they're red and black.

Then, my mom is fixing a computer for my friend's mom, they've done that twice. Both times I have gone over with my mom and played with my friend. This afternoon when we went I stayed when my om left and we went to the legion to have dinner. My friend's grandpa works there so once he and I got done eating, we got to bus tables. In tips, I made 10 bucks and he made 7 bucks. It was SO much fun!

Another Game...

Feeling: Happy
Listening To: What You Know by T.I.

Tonight I had a baseball game in Larkin, and we won. I think the score was something like 11-7. I kinda sucked hitting, but pitched a no-hit inning. That's when the pitcher pitches and no one can hit off him. Currently my team's record is 2 wins and 2 losses.

Mondays

Feeling: Good
Listening To: Over My Head (cable car) by The Fray

Monday's are the worst day of the week, without a doubt. It always takes forever for me to get ready. This morning I came down from my room at 6:00 in order to take a shower, but I ended up sleeping for another 20 minutes on my mom and dad's bed! Then I only had about 15-20 minutes to get ready. Then when I got to school we had a substitute teacher. I guess she was okay but I had a student council meeting during Recess and Lunch so I didn't get to go outside at all. But enough complaining!

My sis has NHS (National Honor Society) inductions tonight, but thankfully I don't have to go, it's like 2 hours long! I'm gonna watch David Blaine: Drowned Alive on abc tonight, that should be interesting. Also, I thought I was going to have a baseball game tonight but it's tomorrow, bummer. It's so nice out, it would have been a perfect night for a ball game. So I think I'll use the computer for a lil' bit longer, then enjoy the B-E-A-utiful day!

Such A Boring Weekend

Feeling: Bored
Listening To: SOS by Rihanna

This weekend was SO boring! My dad's sleeping because he's working midnights wich means he gets home at 8:00am so we have to be super silent through out the day so it's hard to watch the TV. There's nothing to do outside because I have no one to play with except my dog,Reilly, and he's not very good at basketball. Then none of my friends are on line lately to Instant Message with and I haven't seen them in like forever. All of my friends go to a different elementary school than me (but we're still in the same school district) so I haven't seen them at all lately because I was grounded for 2 weeks and I didn't do anything with them last weekend. And since today's Sunday it'll be a month since I've done anything with my fiends. What am I gonna do?

The only fun few things I've done was go to the ball fields and practice baseball with my dad, and watch a movie, Enough, with my mom. Thankfully Desperate Housewives is on tonight, YAY!

Young Author's Day!

Feeling: Allergic To Everything
Listening To: Where'd You Go? by Fort Minor

Today 20 out of 60 kids at my school went to Delta College, and I was 1 of them! We got there and we went shopping at the book store and a bunch of books were there of the authors that came to the event. Then we went to an author named Alfred Slote. He talked to us about his books and what he's done and he then signed autographs for people. Since I got one of his books he autographed it for me. Then we went and had lunch out on a strip of grass by the parking lot. Once we were done with that, we went to another author named Byrd Baylor. She lives in Arizona out in the dessert all by herself far away from the city. She loves the nature and most of her books are about nature. She also loves the animals and is a vegetarian. She too talked about her travels and one of her books. Finally we went top one last author,Janie Lynn Panagopoulos. She likes to write from history and do research on her work. She first started out talking to us about generations and how this is the best of our time and there was no "good ol' days". Not exactly what we all expected. Then she actually started talking about her books and her travels. Like once she went onn a train wagon trip from Mississippi to Wisconsin and what she had to do. Then at the end she signed the book I bought by her. You can check out her website at www.jlpanagopoulos.comThen there was an autographing alley that all the authors were at but we couldn't go 'cause we had to get back to school :( I was bummed 'cause I got a book by Ben Mikaelsen that I could have got autographed. Oh well... it was still a lot of fun!

I'm back!

WOW!! It's been a while, hasn't it? I just forgot about this blog :-O Anyway, my mom suggested that I start blogging again, and I agree. So now I'm back... and staying!
