I can't believe it is almost Christmas. To me the wear has gone so fast, that I can still remember the first day of school, and everyone was all nervous.I thought I was going to puke, I had about a million butterflies in my stomach . After a while, maybe after a couple a weeks later I felt more at home, and now I look forward to coming to school everyday. I am anxious to learn, and to read. I like to discover thins that I had never known before and tell my parents and siblings, and to them it is always fascinating.
Anyway Christmas is coming, and I am so excited, I don't know what I am going to get or what we are going to do, but as long as we are all healthy and together is the best thing I can ask for. Now I don't have to worry about homework and then I can start the year fresh and at zero. With all my mistakes and problems behind, that always takes off wieght from my back! Now I can wake up late and sleep all I want, except for doing my chores that has to be done first, even in Winter.
This makes me so happy I am always in a good mood, spirit, and love. I can be with all my family without having to have them wait for me at night so that we all sleep at the same time. Since I don't have time to play with my little brother on school days when I get a lot of homework, I can pay attention to all the weird and adorable things he does and that I am not able to see. The best thing about Christmas is that I can celebrate that I have another year with all my beloved family, I am able to say I am sometimes a naughty and bad girl, but at the end I am always good and nice. Wow, Christmas is here !! Yay, let the fun begin!!!!!
This is the first chapter to a book I want to make. It was a dark winter morning , when Edgar was to see his dear princess Irma, she is the princess of the winds. She is too mary her loved prince. The best of it all is that she actually loves him, she got to choose who she was to marry. The problem is that she is to mary him and love him forever, but she cannot show the world how important he is to her, neither can he show how much he loves her in the court yard, because of their rule. The rule is if you mary someone that you chose to, you may not show what you really fell inside for the dark fact that they will know and that they will purposely do something bad to him so that you will have to learn to love him.
The thing is that on order to get married you must not know how to love, you must learn. So if you loved him or her you had to pretend to regain their love, so that it is apparent that you are strong and smart enough to love and learn to love. It was important to show that you were smart, so your people could be compassionate for other people.
In the article , Struggle For Smarts, it talks about the way they teach in Japan and how people will actually try to do something right, and some people just give up. It also talks about how a boy in the classroom could not draw a 3D cube. So the teacher told him to go up to the board, so he could work on his. That is much different than how teachers do it now, they usually put the best student to show as the example. Well that boy kept trying and trying until it was the end of the class and everyone applauded him for finally getting it right. He sure was proud of himself. It also says that here in the U.S struggle because we are not smart, and over there they see struggle an oppotunity to get it right or correct after hard work and thinking.
I think we read this for a very important reason.
This was the week after our week vacation and to me this week went by very slow but when I was at home everything went by so fast except for Thanksgiving I had the best time with my family. It all started that morning when I woke up around 9:30 am. I woke up, went to the restroom and then went to say good morning to all my family. After we ate breakfast my dad left to work. I was sad that he was not going to be with us to do all the preparations, but he was going to be there for dinner!
Later that day after the chores were done we started preparing all the food, the tamales, the Posole and the dessert.
I helped my mom put the dough of the tamales on the dry corn leaves. After we had finished all of them I helped my mom cut the vegetables for the Posole. Then like around 4:30 pm my dad was home and we were all getting ready to eat, when we were ready my uncle came over. We were all sitting at the table and we only had one more thing to do. We had to thank god for everything we have and for what we were eating there. After everybody said what they were thankful for we all started eating. The rest of the day was just of reunion. It was so great!!
Today it is finally Friday, yay! The best thing about it is that we don't have to go to school on Monday and Tuesday after the weekend. Also we don't have to stay up late doing homework on Monday and Tuesday, we can just do all the homework we have today so we are able to do whatever we want on our short vacation. I am so happy because I am going to be able to play with my little brother,( because during school days I can't )and he really likes it when I give him my time and attention.
I also like that we don't have school because I don't have to do homework all day, I can play on the computer, go on other websites, and just read what I want without having to stop at night. It is going to be so fun, espiciallty since I can sleep and wake up late. Only 3 more periods and my weekend will finally begin!!!!! I hope I am able tofinish my homework today and that way I can have fun the rest of the day!
I am so excited that my aunt is coming . Her name is Maria, ans she is coming form Mexico in a motorcycle with her husband. The thing is that they are travelers they like exploring places and countries and cities. How I would like to be her traveling most of her life. Well anyway she has been traveling for a couple of days now. She has gone to L.A, Sanfransisco, Las Vegas, Sacramento and so many other places and she is staying at our house for only a day or two because they still have a lot to expore here in California.
I am so excited because I have not seen her like for two years and that is a lot for me considering that she is one of my favorite aunts. I hope she will be there before I get home so that I will be surprised, mainly because she always brings presents for us, how nice right? I also want her tocome before I get home so she can take me out to est since the day before she left 2 years ago that I would go with her out for dinner where ever I wanted. So I am thinking of telling her to take me to In and Out for a big hamburger.
I really do miss her though and she was suppose to get here yesterday but I think they stayed at a rest stop to sleep a little bit and for them to eat. Imagine getting in a car and driving to Mexico or to all those places I mentioned that must be hard but even harder in a motorcycle!
Today during Core we had to take a test on our vocabulary words. The test seemed really hard to me evnt though I had studies the night before and this morning. The test was longer than usual today by 10 more questions. My percent in that test was 92, I missed 5 problems out of 60. I knoe I did okay, but I think I could have done better. Anyway I am happy with what I got and next time I will get a better grade I just know it.
Also today we had an assebly for selling cookie-dough. That is why today we are having shorter classes and we are having everything in different times. I really enjoy that for one thing because we get to do things faster and we don't have to learn a lot on a Friday. I also don't like because then we have a lot of homework from some teachers and we don't get as much time to work on it in class. So far today it has been a wonderful day and I hope it stays this way all day!
You might rememeber that last week I wrote about my little brother's bithday party, well it was so much fun. There was a lot of people there so my brother got a lot of presents mostly clothing, which is good because the winter is coming up and he needs tobe warm. The party started at 3:30, but almost no one is punctiol they usly star arriving after maybe an 1/2 or an hour after. The thing was I got stuck face-painting the whole day so I did'nt enjoy much of the party.
The theme was spider man so I had to paint spiders and other things that related to that. That was hard work because kids just kept coming and coming. I was also in the jumphouse jumping and doing tricks and stuff and for a while I felt lika little kid. The thing that made me the happiest was that my brother was so happy and he was having so much fun that I just enjoyed seeing him do what he wanted for at least a year. Well that was so fun!!!
I am so excited, because it is my brother's birthday party tomorrow and he is so excited so I am happy for him. His birthday is actually in November, but my mom wanted to make his party a liittle bit ahead of time since it gets really cold by November. His theme is going to be Spider Man, sisnce that is what he is most intrested in this year, when he was a year old his theme was in cars, and he just has a diiferent intrest every year.
I am so happy because he is so excited it is his 2nd party and he is 3 years old. What I am really happy about is that he has been looking forward to the day becausen now that he is older and now he knows what is going on and I really hope he has the best time ever and that he is happy all day!!
This week is the beginning of the Big Fresno Fair, and so many people are talking about how they are going to go on so many rides and buy so many stuff. Anyway I am not going this year because I already went last year and I am, going to go next year, but not this year. It does not really bother me because the last time I went I had the best time ever, but on some rides I got so scared that I did not even go near then because some kids were screaming really loud.
I sometimes am scared of what might happen if the ride I am on has suddenly something go wrong then I would be extremely scared. The thing was, I was wachting videos of things thathave gone wrong at the fair or at other places with rides and I saw really scary ones! One videon that I saw was of a girl about 10 or 12 years of age and her father, they were riding on a seat that was holding them up about 700 feet off the groung between these two cliffs and suddenly the seat broke! What dangure!!!
