Once again it is Friday and this is probably the last time of the school year that I write in my Free-Write Friday blog. This week has not really been hard, but I am really excited because there is such  a little time left until school ends. I think there are only nine days left until our summer begins, but that does not include the weekend. Today we are going to dissect a squid. Then we are going to eat it.  I am so glad that I brought seasoning because then I think that I will not like it if it tastes really bland. This is my first time trying  Calamari, that is the special name for the squid wants it is cooked. 
    This week we did not have school on Monday, but that meant we had no late start yesterday. So that was kin of sad. This week we had been taking the new District Task. It has to do with the common core stuff they want to do with us now. I really did not like it. I mean we already have enough with the CST and now they want to give us another thing. I am really looking forward to the summer. I feel like I have never been happier to leave school. There is so little time left of school. I am going to make this school year a year that I will never remember.
    I hope that I keep writing in this website after school is out, but I think that I will write about other things in my next year. This year has really been great. My family has been there for me throughout this whole year supporting me in both the bad and good times. I have met all lot of great people, and they are now my friends. There are many great 7th grade teachers that really know hot to make a class a good environment like Mr. Aberele, Erickson, and Mrs. Baird. All the teachers are great though.
 
     It is once again Friday. This week has gone by really fast and I am really looking forward to the weekend. This week has been really fun on Monday I did not have a lot of homework because the next day would be the zoo trip. On Tuesday we went to the zoo. That day was really fun and I was so glad that we went. That was probably the best experience of school. On Wednesday school and life was like usual. On Thursday I was so happy that it was late start. Also we started the Virtual Dissection on the computers. That was really fun.
    I am really looking to the weekend.  Especially since we are having a three day weekend. Finally my mom will be able to rest and so will my family except my dad because he has to work. I really do not like my dad to work a lot . Anyway I am so happy because I am going to go to a party on Saturday and I need to wake up really early. Also on Sunday I am not going to do any homework. I am certain I am going to have  a good weekend.  I am going to sleep a lot and relax.
 
     This week has been so fun and awesome. I am so glad we are done with CST testing  because now I do not have to worry about it.  It is like a pile of rocks taken off my chest. Yesterday was my birthday and I felt really special.  It was day that I will never be able to forget. I had so much fun with my friends and my family. The best part was that I was happy and that I was surrounded with everybody that I love. The best part of yesterday was the whole entire day of gifts, hugs, and all those "happy birthdays" everybody gave me.
        When I woke my birthday had really started. The good thing was that it was Thursday, so I was able to sleep in a little bit more and go to school a little late.  When I woke up my dad was about to leave for work. I saw him and he came to me and hugged me really tight. He said, "Feliz Cumpleanos mi nina." He gave me a rose and then he left for work. 
     Then I woke up so that I can get ready, and when I went to the kitchen I found a poster that said Happy Birthday in Spanish with my dad's handwriting and there was another flower. Both flowers smelled really nice, their aroma was wonderful.T hen as all my family was waking up they all came up to me and told me happy birthday and they hugged. After school I came back and found that my mom had made many of my favorite things like pozole, Gelatina, and Flan. It looked really nice, and the whole 
 
     I am so happy that it is Friday. It has been a very weird, tiring, and stressful week.  All that CST testing has had my brain fried, and I am so tired. I have still gotten homework , this week so I am not fully freed of homework. Anyway I am truly glad that it is Friday. I have Cornell notes that are due Monday that I still have to do, that is practically all my homework. I am really excited my birthday is really close. Anyway, next week will be fairly the same, except that it will be the last week of testing.
      I think that I am going to do much better in the Algebra CST, than the ELA CST. I always do better in math than ELA, that is because for me it is faster and easier to learn math than ELA, because I did not always speak good English.   I am really going to take this weekend as a break and relax,  so that I am ready for next week. I hope that I did well in the CST for English, that way the district people know how smart I am. I hope I did good because that will open so many good doors and opportunities in the future. Can't wait to get done with testing next week for good.
 
    This week has been very tiring and tough for me. It will also be like that for two more weeks because of all those CST tests. I do need some well deserved days to rest and relax. Saturday and Sunday will be fun days for me. Anyway I am happy today because of so many things. Well first of all, I got a good grade on my computers project. I am so proud of myself.  Also, tomorrow we may be traveling to somewhere far. I really do enjoy when we have long trips with my family, it all just seems much funner and better. On Sunday it is May 5th, or as Latinos or Mexicans know it as 5 De Mayo.
      It is a celebration called El Grito de La Independencia. It is the day in which Mexico got its freedom. Most Mexican families really enjoy these kinds of celebrations. In honor to this great freedom many places have big festivals or parades for people of all over the place to come watch. One great place to be in May 5th, would be the Foulten Mall. There will be food, Spanish groups singing, and so much more. I can't wait until the end of the day, there will be so much fun. Also I do not have a lot of homework. So, I am planning to have fun and enjoy my weekend.
