My Desk

This is a description of my desk. My desk is a window seat like on an air plane. It gets very bright here so I have to bring big sunglasses to school, the glasses don’t actually have to be big but they are the only size that fits my head. Right now it is actually pretty cloudy outside which is good for me, because I can see my computer screen. The second drawer of my desk broke around the time school started when I tripped on it, it hurt a lot and my leg still has a bruise on it, although now I get to keep my paper right there instead of having to bend to my side to get it. My favorite part of my desk is definitely the view of the wind blowing on the palm trees outside and the different cars driving by, which is probably why I am okay with the sunlight in my face.

One of my Favorite Holiday Memories was...

    One of my favorite holiday memories was when I played Spider-Man 2 on my Gameboy. It wasn’t that big of a memory but now I am playing Wii and Xbox and Nintendo DSI so it’s fun to remember the first game I actually played well on my first real gaming system. Back then the Gameboy seemed really big but now it will barely fit in my hands. I also remember the Christmas tree right there to the right with the bright lights and the ornaments. I liked the Spider-Man game so much that I played it almost non-stop for the next days, and now and again I would make a new file to play it some more.

Why I like Snakes on a Plane

  This is why I like Snakes on a Plane. Snakes on a Plane is one of my favorite movies, this might be because it’s about snakes. Ironically, my worst fears are snakes and vampires yet I seem to love those movies especially so. Also, this movie has Samuel L. Adams who is one of my favorite actors and has been in many Marvel movies, and as my family knows I am a Marvel Comics fan. A third and possibly final reason I like Snakes on a Plane is the plot line, people being trapped on a plane full of snakes trying to figure out what to do about it, it makes me wonder what I would do.

My Thanksgiving Break

    This is what I did on my Thanksgiving break. I had a week long break from school last week so my family and I went to Destin, Florida, like we usually do. While we were there I got to play laser tag for the first time. I beat my dad by 200 points, which I assume means 2 kills. I had to shoot a laser gun at certain places on a person’s vest that they were given for the game. There was a whole other family that was in there making it very fun for me and my dad, my brother also went but I don’t think he had a lot of fun, but it was still one of the best parts about the vacation.

Another Thing I am Thankful for

  Another thing I am thankful for is my hats. I like wearing something every day to help me stand out. Once when my family was clothes shopping my mom said I could pick anything I wanted within a reasonable price range, and I saw a fedora. I decided to buy it, but we weren’t able to buy it right then for some reason so a couple of weeks later we bought it. Months after that we were going to go on the Disney cruise ship and my mom said I needed a new hat. We went to a bunch of different stores to find one and after hours of looking, we were able to find one. Later when we were on the ship I got another new hat so now I where all 3 happily.

I Feel I Deserve _______

    I feel like I deserve a day or two off. Last year for school I had to finish all of my social studies standards for school. As an incentive my mom said if I finish them all I would not have to go to school for the rest of the quarter. I was able to finish them all a couple of weeks later, and when I reminded my mom about the deal she said I would still have to go to school. I feel I was cheated and deserve some days off when I finish my work this year to make up for the deal.

Highlighters

    I don’t think that highlighters should have been invented. They are just a remake of markers. “Look at this awesome new highlighter I just bought.” says the first kid. “That’s cool, Look at these 6 markers I got for less than 6 highlighters.” The only things they are useful for are coloring over words and connecting together to make swords. Both, are things that can be done by markers. Also, they only have about 5 colors, markers have many more colors than that.

I'd Walk a Mile for ________

   I’d walk a mile for exercise. Walking a mile sounds like good exercise to me, so if I were to do it it would probably be to lose weight. I think I would be doing this on the bridge with my mom, or I would be doing at my grandma’s beach house. It would be like the time I biked eight miles, only easier. I assume it would be easier. I have just decided to walk a mile for exercise next time I go to my grandma’s beach house. I think we are going there for Christmas so I could do it then. I just hope my siblings will agree to go with me.

Another Thing I am Thankful For

    This is another thing I am thankful for. I am thankful for the brain God has given me. With it, I can excel in math, I can get good grades in my other class, and I have a great memory. For math I am on algebra in 8th grade and learning all of that I can. I also have straight “A”s in my other classes. With my brain I have been able to remember a code made up of phone numbers and internet security codes for months. The code is 40415251574447904903843216999584346912448434252414.

What I have Learned in Science this Year

This is what I have learned in science this year. This year in science I have learned a lot about earthquakes. I have learned what “P” and “S” waves are, how to locate an earthquake, and what each wave can go through. “P” waves are the first vibrations to come from an earthquake, they are also known as primary waves. “S” waves are the second group of vibrations to come from an earthquake, they are also known as secondary waves. “P” waves can travel through gases, liquids, and solids, while “S” waves can only travel through solids (S for solid). I have also learned how to locate an earthquake. In order to do this you need to recall that “P” waves are faster than “S” waves. You need to have a device to measure vibrations, known as a seismograph, in one location and another in another location. Using the data from the two devices and the time difference from “P” to “S” waves, you can triangulate the center of the quake.

A Man Named Greg

  This is a story about a man named Greg. There was once a gregarious man named Greg. He had to make a decision on who to invite to his party, so that there would be no ambivalence. He decided to invite his most pious friends. He knew he would need very good elocution when they came over to his house. He read certain verses of the Bible knowing they would encourage him. He thought he should deploy some dip on the table for them to eat. He had a very tenacious grip on the chips as he put those on the table next. After this he put down some more food, fearing that his friends might be voracious that night. When he felt he had a copious amount of food he sat down and waited for his friends. A while after all his friends got there and ate the food they all sat down quietly and waited for spiritual edification.

If I Could Change One Thing about my School

    If I could change one thing about my school it would be the awnings. I have a window seat and most of the days it is very sunny. I don’t want to just change seats because I want to be able to see what’s going on outside, like on an airplane. I would make them longer so the sun wouldn’t always be in my eyes. It is so bright, I can hardly see what I’m working on because I can see my reflection on my computer screen.

What I am Thankful for 1

    This is what I am thankful for. I am thankful I have my own room. A couple of years ago I lived in the same room as my brother Luke. The foster sisterswho lived in the small room in the middle of our hallway moved out so I got the choice to move into their room. I accepted the offer, so now I have the privacy of my own room and I could color the walls any color I wanted.

What it would be like to be Mayor of Mt. Pleasant

    This is what I feel it would be like to be the mayor of Mt. Pleasant. To be the mayor of Mt.Pleasant doesn’t sound all that fun to me. You will just sit at a desk all day signing paperwork and making tough decisions that affect everyone around them. When you’re not doing that you might be out at schools or other Mt. Pleasant businesses talking about the same old stuff over and over: what it’s like to be the mayor, how hard it is, and things about his family. If he’s not working he might be out with his family, and when he is people always stare at him. So basically I would not like to be the mayor.

My Spelling Words

This is a paragraph that uses my spelling words. I went to school once and I was bored. I was bored because I hadn’t anything to do to before dessert that night. I threw a ball at the wall a bunch of times to try and entertain myself. Once I threw the ball and it went through the wall. The ball went all the way to the desert so I had to go and get it. By the time I got it and came back it was time for dessert.
