Over the last 18 months, there have been a lot of crazy things going on. I feel like there were more Zoom meetings than actual, face-to-face encounters. Things have gone so fast that I really can’t believe that I’m already in 5th grade. It seems like I was just in Kindergarten, so excited to start elementary school.

Something I’m looking forward to would be the rocketry science unit. I think it would be really fun to do, and I hope we get to make a rocket model and test it out. I’d like to do it because I’ve always been interested in engineering, but I’ve never really gotten to find out how the inside mechanisms of a machine worked. It’ll be exciting, whether we get to build a model or not.

A few other things I’m interested in are cats, reading, writing, Minecraft, and rollercoasters. I love cats because they’re really cute and my friend Cindy got one in January. To determine her name, we made a long list of names and let her choose from 2 of our favorites – Coral and Venice. She ultimately decided on Coral, after a long and thoughtful wait.

I started loving writing because I loved making up stories and reading them too. It’s fun to create different types of characters and give them funny names, personalities, and their family and friends. I also like describing things because I can always picture the scene in my head.

I like Minecraft because I like LEGOs and building, but if I go in creative there are endless materials I can use to create different types of structures and buildings. I don’t know why but I just like building, crafting, and destroying blocks.

I’ve never really liked scary rollercoasters, but I’ve recently gotten over my fear of scary rollercoasters after visiting 4 amusement parks this year. I love the thrill and excitement of the ride, I love how the loop-d-loops give your head a slight airy feeling and how the wind whooshes by really fast, but I don’t like how some rollercoasters always bump your head against the seat.

I hope you’ve learned something new about me and thank you for reading my blog post.
