Grades

In my computer class, I am getting an 85 and 95 percent for 2 of my blog checks. I got a hundred percent on the other four blog checks. Yes, I do write atleast three blogs per week, sometimes more. I am including links and pictures in my posts but mostly pictures so far.

PSAT

I got back my PSAT scores yesterday. Surprisingly, they were pretty good. Overall, I was 71 percent higher than other sophmores who took the test. Eventhough I probably don't have the highest score in my class, I am very proud of my scores because other peope's scores were in the 30's and 40's. If I just keep studying and working hard, I can greatly improve my skills when I take the real SAT.

Space Game

Today in computer class, I worked on my space game. We had to make a game where you shoot something like a spaceship and meteors. I'm adding alot of extra things like multiple meteors, multiple weapons, and lives. I'm actually excited about working on this project. I hope that when I post my game onto the scratch site, there'll be alot of views.

Volleyball Test

Today, I had a volleyball test. It was in between a complete disaster and a complete success. During the test, I had to serve, set, and bump a volleyball. I was able to set all the volleyballs, bump a few, but I was only able to serve one ball. I hope I get a good grade for the volleyball test. Atleast an "A." My class is supposed to take a test on volleyball online and I hope to get an A on this test too.

Scratch

I finally finished my scratch project for computer class. It took me longer than others because I made a stage with lava and rocks and I made a feature where the character can hide behind the rock. This probably took me about two and a half weeks to finish. Eventhough it took so long, I'm proud of the project I made. In my opinion, it's the best project that I've made so far.

Thanksgiving Break

My break was long and relaxing. Eventhough there was alot of homework, I had time to enjoy the time that I had with my family. During the Thanksgiving break, I had turkey, mashed potatoes, a salad bar, and corn. It was the best dinner that I had in weeks. I look forward to the next Thanksgiving day.

Volleyball

Today, my gym teacher, Mr.Grissom, taught the class how to spike a volleyball. At first, when I tried, it was difficult. On the third try, it became very easy.When my team hide to play another team, practicing spiking made serving much easier also.

Thanksgiving

I am thankful for having my family, a home, and my food. Many people around the world don't have what I have. I am also thankful for my education. Sometimes, it feels like school is boring and not needed but long ago, people had to pay a lot of money for education so barely anyone in those days were educated.

Volleyball

My gym class is finally on its volleyball unit. When I played volleyball yesterday, I quickly realized that I was much better in volleyball than in soccer, the last sport that my class learned about. Today in volleyball, I learned how to bump, set, and spike. When my team played against another team though, we didn't work together that well. Many times, the ball hit the floor because we thought that the person next to us would get the ball. According to my teacher, Mr.Grissom, this is called the "husband and wife." Overall, I like football.

Field Trip

Yesterday I went to a field trip to Camp Griffo. I had to interact and work together with a bunch of people from Madison that I didn't even know. The whole field trip was about teamwork and communication. The camp gave us alot of good food like mashed potatoes, bread, salad, etc. Overall, I think that going was very beneficial because I learned about the importance of working together with other people and the importance of communication. I was gone for almost the entire school day. In the end, when I got back, I went to my seventh period geometry class.

Rebuild of Evangelion

I'm hoping that an anime called Rebuild of Evangelion will be available to watch online soon. I watched the original series called Neon Genesis Evangelion and it was great. This anime is basically about humanity's fight against entities called angels. It incorporates alot of things about religion into its story. According to me, it is the best anime that you can watch.

Soccer

My gym class is currently having a soccer tournament with the teams as the people in Mr.Grissom's class. My team won once but it loss once too. It's really getting boring though. I guess soccer isn't my sport. I hope we play basketball or something else soon.

Homework

Too much homework is being given in Geometry! Even I'm falling behind on doing homework now. I need to stop procrastinating and start focusing more on my homework. It's very annoying to see my grade drop from a high "A" to a middle "A" and then eventually a very low "A." I need to get my priorities straight.

Weekend

The weekend was fun. I spent a lot of time with my family and friends. On Sunday, I got to go to the Halloween Horror Nights with my friends Joseph, Raymond, and Alfonso. There were a lot of people with chainsaws hidden in the smoke that filled the air at the theme park. The only maze that I went to was the Freddy maze. I went to the Jurassic Park and the Mummy ride too. Out of all the things that I did, the Mummy maze was the best. I had a great time. In the end though, my legs were so sore from running that I went home and hour before the park closed. Here's the website for the Halloween Horror Nights:www.halloweenhorrornights.com/hollywood

Edgar Allen Poe

Currently, I'm reading Edgar Allen Poe books. His books are mostly about death. I decided to read this book right now because it's almost Halloween. So far, out of all of his short storis, I read The Tell Tall Tale, The Pit and the Pendulum, The House of Usher, The Cask of Amontillado, The Oval Portrait, and The Masque of Red Death. My favorite one was probably The Pit and the Pendulum. It's about the Inquisition and how one man was tortured. In the end, he survived when the French stopped the Inquisition.

Strike Freedom Gundam

I have finally finished assembling my model of Strike Freedom Gundam. It took me about two weeks but I did it. The model came with a stand and a cool poster. Buying it was worth it. I will enjoy posing it in any position. It's not suprising that this gundam is very poseable.

Geometry

Geometry is just getting harder and harder because of the constant homework that Mr.Del Mundo is giving the class. He expects us to do about 20 difficult problems a day. Even I'm having problems doing all of Mr. Del Mundo's homework.

Parent Conference Night

Yesterday was the parent conference night and it was great. Instead of running around to teachers in different classes, all of my teachers were in the library since they're all magnet teachers. It saved alot of time and energy and it only took an hour instead of two hours like last time.

Basketball

Today was a fun day. During P.E., my friends and I played basketball against another team. It was a nice work out because I was running from one side of the court to another. The other team was pretty challenging, but my team won.

PSAT

I am planning to take the PSAT in a week. I'm trying to cram everything in my head right now to I am very stressful. If I get a good score on this test, I might qualify for a scholarship.

Gundam

My parents finally got me the gundam model that I've been waiting for the whole year. They got me a model of Strike Freedom Gundam Master Grade Full Burst mode. I was so excited when I finally got it. I am looking forward to building it this weekend.

Soccer

Today, in my gym class, the class started its soccer unit. The whole class was divided into two teams and we went against each other. Soccer isn't my favorite sport but I had fun. One problem was that I had to keep running from one side of the field to the other. It was very tiring.

Peer Mediation

I finally got into peer mediation. I signed up three weeks ago and now I'm finally in. Peer mediation is a class where you give advice to students about there problems. I have this class for third period now instead of intervention. I was disappointed when Raymond didn't get in though. We signed up for peer mediation at the same time.

Geometry Help

The first couple of days of my geometry class was kinda hard but now it's pretty easy. This all because of the internet. I got help from a website that taught me about geometry vocabulary, polygons, and angles. Here's a link to the website:

English Class

English class is becoming very difficult. Yesterday , Mr.Genova, the teacher of my english class, asked the class to find out how many grooves were in a 45 r.p.m. record. The answer was 2, one on both sides of the record. I didn't even know what a 45 r.p.m. record was until I looked it up on the internet.

Math

I'm doing pretty well in geometry. So far I think that I've gotten A's on all assignments given to me in geometry. According to Mr. Del Mundo, my math teacher, I've got a 100% on my last geometry quiz. I hope that I continue my progress.

Extra Credit Project

I turned in my extra credit project today for english and history. I worked on this project with Raymond all day on Saturday and Sunday. I hope that this project boosts my grade up to an A. For those of you who are interested in the website I mostly used for the project, here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamestown_settlement

English and History

I am taught be Mr.Genova in my English and History class. Mr.Genova likes to trick us when he is giving a test or a quiz. On my last quiz, I was tricked when he asked us to draw a flag or the american colonies in the 1600's. He tricked us because there was no american flag at that time. Eventhough his class is very difficult, I enjoy his class because it teaches us more than many other enlish and history classes do.

Geometry

So far geometry ok. I thought that it would be much harder than this. I get alot of homework in geometry but it's kinda fun. Geometry so far is better than algebra and pre-algebra. I enjoy using the compass in geometry.

Afterschool

Today after school, I am hoping to finish my homework early and just relax. I haven't done that in a long time. I usually procrastinate and do my homework hours after I get home. I hope that this won't happen again. I plan on finishing my title page for science today as well as any homework thata I am given later today.

Elective

This year, my elective is computers again. Next semester, I am hoping to get another elective that I have never taken before. Maybe something like piano. If I get computers as my elective again next semester, I hope that I'll learn new things. I am looking forward to learning how to make a video game online this semester.

Computer Class

Today, in computer class, I just created a new blog and made a google accound. This was pretty easy, it wasn't very hard. This class is probably going to become much harder in the future. I'm hoping that i'll get an A in computer class again. I think that making a game will the most enjoyable part in computer class.
