Meet Me!

Hi! My name is Alina. I am 10 years old. My best friends call me Lina though. I don’t like my middle name, so when people ask me, “What’s your middle name?” I tell them, “It’s in Chinese. You won’t know it.” At least it’s true. ? I do one sport, and it’s called Fencing. I didn’t like telling people that in the past because I thought they would say, “Whaaaaaaat is that?” But it turned out quite a lot of people knew what it was! I didn’t know that! ? I have an older brother, (whom I hate). I love to be cheerful and hyper, and also really like school. (But I don’t really like Homework). I love math. I like social studies but I’m really bad at it, and I like playing a certain computer game called League of Legends. Also, one last thing: my mom makes me do really hard math for my brother and  I only like doing that sometimes.

State Test 2017

The dreadful State Test is back on March 28, 2017. Three days of testing, the one kids never wanted. It’s a boring time as well. Especially with the unlimited time, who knows how long someone could take!? By the time it is over, our brains will be melted, and our hands aching. And will be sent to our graves at a young age. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating, but really, NO ONE WANTS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want the math test though! Sadly, that is in May!!!!! Two Months Away. AHHHHHHH. By then, our brains will be rotten, and we will simply be eaten by the “Goblins of the State Test” We would of had long white beards, and an aching body. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck, and don’t let this happen to you. 🙂

Crispin: The Cross of Lead

In our Historical Book Club Group, we are reading the book Crispin: The Cross of Lead, By Avi. The book is about a boy in the town of Stromford, in 1377 A.D.  He only got to learn his name at the age of 13, after his mother died because he freaked out, ran into the forest, heard something that the steward, John Aycliffe, talked about to a stranger. Aycliffe spotted him in hiding, and he attempted to kill him. In the afternoon, Crispin Later that night, he came out of hiding from the steward, and went to find the only man he could trust in this desperate village, the Priest by the name of Father Quinel. The priest told him to run the next night after he told him a lot about him, his parents, and about what he should do after he left. His mother’s name is Asta, his name is Crispin, and his weak mother could read and write. The next night, Crispin was supposed to  be met by Father Quinel, but instead he was met by a boy slightly older by the name of Cerdic. Clearly something was wrong right? Well how could Crispin know. Cerdic told him to go west, but it was a trap. Crispin got into so much trouble after. But after all the difficulties getting out of town, he was exausted and when he was far enough from the village he slept. By morning, Crispin was far out of town. He was also starving. He traveled on and on and on, until at last he came to a village. He thought it was inhabited, but it was actually dead due to the plaque a couple years back. After exploring the village a bit, he came to a house with a man inside. This man is a juggler who was often called Bear.

When a Friend Ditches You

Has your friend ever just ditched you before? Like suppose you guys are doing a project together, but then suddenly they just leave? Well, it’s happened to me many times. For example in 3rd Grade. No personal details required. Recently though, it’s crazy, in a good way. Myla, Eibhlinn, Zephyr, and I, have been having lots of fun. But, if it ever does happen, you know what you should do? Just be you! Pretend nothing happened, and act normal. But if they start ignoring you, I usually just listen in on them. And, finally, quote from Mrs. Marshall: ” It’s pretty unpleasant and sometimes painful when a friend ditches you. It helps to ask yourself, “Did I do anything to deserve this?” and if the answer is yes, then you have to own up to it and try to change. If the answer is no, you have to accept that the other person is just unreliable, or has some other issues and then decide if you want to move on or try again. This will happen many times in life, and it’s a good lesson on how to be a good friend. Communication is key.” Just like in Survivor Fox Meadow. Communicate, be kind, and be patient. It always will get better. Trust me. It’s happened twice to me, and they all turned out great…. kinda.

 

Weird Things in Life

Have you ever…. seen something… not really knowing where or when…. but then suddenly seeing it happen right before you eyes, and then you’re all like, “OH MY GOD I LITERALLY KNEW THAT WOULD HAPPEN! I SAW IT BEFORE…” I have. Or, have you ever knew someone was going to say something, or a tiny little second, exactly the same as you somehow pictured? It just comes to you, but it’s too late when you start thinking about it…. and you never see it again! Also, is there ever a dream that you have over, and over, again, that you totally remember it so that you don’t even need to worry about it when you’re telling someone about your last nights dream. Or a dream that’s so interesting, or funny, but then your mom wakes you up and tells you, “Time to go to school!” And now you’re all up out of bed complaining, “I was in the middle of a great dream. Another possible scene could be you suddenly just waking up, then when you wish to fall back into sleep, your dream is gone. Maybe there is a scientific explanation, but we’re all waaaaaaay too young to possibly know it. Right? YES.15-weird-english-words-you-wont-believe-exist8.jpg (849×565)

Wait! What about when you see someone, but then you suddenly start trying to avoid them? Even if it’s someone you know, not like a family member or something, but a friend….. Maybe some of these things are just me, ’cause I’m pretty weird, even if you’ve never seen it. 😀

School

I love school. The best part about it is orchestra, math, and P.E. In orchestra I love it so much because I am more advanced in violin, so it’s really easy for me which then makes it incredibly fun. I love math because I’m pretty good at it too. Last but not least I like P.E. (Physical Education) because I am a pretty athletic and most of the sports that we play in P.E. are really, really, fun even if I suck at lots of them 🙂 My favorite is basketball, actually football, and volleyball, and, and, and, SO MANY MOREEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Basketball is the best. 🙂 Unless you don’t get passed to.

2017

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have a New Years Resolution? I don’t. :^) Did you do anything cool in 2016? I did. For New Years Eve I went to NYC for the ball drop. Don’t worry, I wasn’t in the crowd. I was up in my dad’s office without my shoes, 🙂 ,  and I could see everything because there was a huge TV with the stages, and I could see the ball too. It was amazing! When I got home, since I drank a whole cup of coffee, I couldn’t fall asleep till 5:30 in the morning. We were baking cookies at 4:00! In the morning! That was the best New Years EVER. (I’ve never really done anything on New Years Eve before)
