Middle School

Yesterday, the fifth graders from our school went and visited the Middle School!  It's about time, I mean I have been counting down the days...It was soo exciting!  When we first got there, a little bit early, we saw the band playing.  Then the orchestra came and played.  After that we got to eat lunch- and their school lunch is actually really awesome!  you actually get to choose your entrées and your sides.  Plus, there is a dessert cart which you have to pay for one if you want a dessert but it really, really cheap.   It's so delish.  Then we went in a room to learn about the rules, the dress code (it isn't bad at all), and what to expect.  Then the seventh grade student council did a really funny skit.  After that we went outside to play.  Then we went back into the hallway and got buddies to show us around!  I got a very, very nice girl named Macy.  I was a little bit shy and nervous but she turned out to be awesome!  I just didn't my buddy to be mean or a freak, know what I mean?  I can't wait until next year when I get to be some one's buddy and show THEM around!  So cool!  She had P.E. and I was so excited because the other fifth graders went to other classes like science and math and they didn't even get to interact.  I actually got to do P.E.!  All of the fifth graders were hoping that is what their buddies would have, but only four or five other kids got to go.  We played basketball, jogged, did games, you name it- some people even lifted me up!  But the got in trouble, but who cares?  It was SO worth it!   The buddies showed how to do the combination on your locker and a lot of the rooms in the school.  I was so sad when I had to go back to the Elementary School, but Middle School is ahead. 

Amusement Park

I got first place in the girls division at my karate tournament!  I would have got first against the boys, too, but I was only allowed to go against the girls.  How do I absolutely positively know I would've got first place?  My grandpa kept scores of everyone- and I got the highest scores!  No chiz!  That was on Saturday morning and my awesome family came and my best best friend for ever and and ever got up at 7 o'clock in the morning just to come when she could have been on her way to Girl Scouts and go to an awesome amusement park in the city.  That doesn't do her much justice, though- Mind you, she gets up at 5:45 (yes, a.m.) everyday.  Yes, that's what I said.  Then we went to the amusement park together (my mom took us) and had a blast.  We ate, met some really mean/stupid/ugly guys in front of us in line, tried to win a giant flamingo (which we spent $25 on.  Rip off.  They didn't even give us a refund!), and rode a bunch of roller coasters.  We got to pair of from our group!  Cool, am I right?  We spilt up into two groups- the Non Riding Roller Coasters group and the Adventurous Group.  From there we kind of went our different ways.  I love the way rides tickle your tummy!  The only not-so-good thing was that it started raining.  TWICE.   And we got soaked but it dried up pretty quick.  Then we headed home and that was that.  So awesome!

Ninja Moves

I have really been practicing my skills!  There is a tournament coming up soon and all I have been doing lately is practicing, practicing, practicing.  It's pretty exhausting, but it will all be worth it.  Right?

love

Okay, so the way I see it there are two kinds of love.  Real love, and what I like to call, superficial love.  Of course, you may say you LOVE that purse you saw in the mall- but...really?  I am just now realizing (Ha ha, I say it as if I have been here a long time...pshtaw!) that, and I wanna let ya guys know what I am thinking.  All of my life I have thought things like I need that! or I love that dress! but I guess I haven't thought about the real kind of love.  The REAL kind of love has problems.  Think of two best friends for example: Of course, they really love eachother, honestly- but there are problems, disagreements, and probably some fights, too.   But life goes on and they move on and will more than likely stay friends.   And that is only part of the "love" package.   You may find out who you love doesn't feel the same- which links back to "problems".  But this kind of problem usually only effects the one person who feels in love.   Love can't be described but I gotta give Urban Dictionary some props for trying.  I clipped some definitions that I though vaguely describe the powerful feeling.

The most spectacular,indescribable, deep euphoric feeling for someone.

Love is an incredibly powerful word. When you're in love, you always want to be together, and when you're not, you're thinking about being together because you need that person and without them your life is incomplete.It's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity. Love involves wanting to show your affection and/or devotion to each other. It's the smile on your face you get when you're thinking about them and miss them. Love can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love. If you find it, don't let it go.



One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:



That word is love.
