AAARRGG! (4/6/08)

Note: The dates in the titles are for when I fall behind. That is the date of the official day. Once I am caught up I will stop. Sorry!

Today was a day of frustrations and interest, though mostly education. Sarah had nightmares last night (they involved me, so it MUST be nightmares) and was asleep in Mom's bed until eleven. As such, we tiptoed around until Sarah got up. Mom was unsure about what to do, so I expected that she would say that we would spend the rest of the day here. Instead, Mom simply had us get up and go to a very boring poem reading at a library that would put any sane person into a depression.


Fortunately I had found a lecture on peace in The Middle East and Mom said I could go. I didn't catch the name of the lecturer but he was very good. Most people probably talk about religion when it comes to The Middle East, but he said that not only was it possible, but very likely because if one looks at history, religion was used as a reason to go to war. As such, religion is not important. It is just an excuse. Afterwards we went to a Bill Clinton museum. Then, we came back and did the usual night stuff.

All in a Day's Work and Play (4/5/08)

Today was a big day today. It was my first working day kind of thing. When I first got up, I was a little moody and was a bit rude to Mom and Sarah. Sorry about that! Afterwards I did one of my first ever jobs: raking up gravel that was washed around in a huge flood recently (sorry, we had just missed it otherwise I could provide more details, but I heard that there hadn't been a flood like that since 1980). It was hard work, but I had fun.

Afterwards we went to lunch at a sushi restaurant, then went on a tour that was on a thing called a duck. A duck is a special type of boat (or bus depending on how you look at it) that is specialy set up to be able to be driven in land or water. Once we were off we went and got some snacks that include fudge and a popcorn ball. We went back to the RV, then went to watch a skit where musicians play songs of different eras. It was pretty good. Then we cam back and I wrote this post before going to bed.

Day After Math (4/4/08)

Not a very good title huh? Well, it is hard to think of a title anyway. Now then, today was a travel day again. When it was over, we were at a location that is part of a chain called Good Sam. After setting up, it was the usual nightime things: gaming, TV, then bed.

On the Road Again (4/3/08)

Today was a ver simple day today. We had simply packed up, and left. While I won't bore you with the details of the trip, but we got to our new location at an Elks Lodge (an RV park I think, I never got enough details to know) around three and a half hours after we got started moving. Once we were set up for the night, I worked on the 2nd math part of the CAHSEE, then played games, watched TV, and went to bed.

Edit: Sorry about the date screw up! (It said a day later)

Redone English for College (4/2/08)

Today was a very good day for me.I got up at around nine, and got right to work on the Language Arts I had promised Mom yesterday. I was able to increase my grade by six percent! Now, while that doesn't sound too important, that gave me 93%, an A. After a while of playing my game afterwards, Mom showed me something interesting. It was an enormous amount of college classes that included chemistry, buisness, astronomy, and even how to do well in college!!! That was pretty cool, and I felt really motivated. After that we went to a BBQ place, and then headed back. I stayed at the RV playing my game, while Sarah and Mom went shopping. After they got back we watched CSI Miami, and the I settled down to write this post.

Math and 21 (4/1/08)

Today was a much more interesting day then yesterday. Today I had spent most of the day again just working on my math. Here's the thing though; I had gotten 85% on my test, and was able to get the PlayStation! Before we got it though, Mom took us to watch the new movie 21. It is sort of like Ocean's 13, but is much more realistic so many people would enjoy it. On the way to the game store, Mom got a deal out of me: If I do the 2nd practice tests for math and language arts, I will get a new game. I accepted and after that we went shopping for groceries, then went back. After I unpacked the groceries I walked the dog and wrote in the blog.

English Exit Exam (3/31/08)

I'm going to start putting down the date down of the day that I am writing about because I am sick of forgetting what day I am writing about. Yesterday wasn't much to talk about anyway. The most important thing was though, was that I had worked on mastering the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). I had taken a practice test, and gotten an 87 percent! That is pretty good, so I was very happy. All I had left to do was the math. If I got a good enough score on the math, I would get a Playstation 2 console.
