Vacation pt. 8

On this day, we visited Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. On the way towards the park, my sister reminded my dad about the junior ranger program, I'm lazy, so I didn't want to do it. When we got there we did a ranger history of the canyon program. I'm glad it was different than the Grand Canyon. After the one hour tour, I spent a boring thirty minutes finishing the junior ranger book. After which, we visited every overlook on the south rim, and left black canyon at around 2o'clock. We then ate lunch at about 2:30. Finally, we went to Curecanti National Recreation Area. Which we spent 15 minutes at, because the area was closed, except for one location. Afterwards, we arrived at Grand Junction, and ate dinner there. Finally, the last thing I did was help plan tomorrow's trip.

What part

I believe I am on part 6/ day 7, but I'm not sure. Anyway, on this day, I went to Canyons of the Ancients National Monument and Hovenweep National Monument. It was another place about ruins. We went to the visitor center of Canyons of the Ancients in the morning, and took a quick hike to the reservoir created for the people of the area. I saw the first old village of the day, and it was supposed to have 30 rooms. It didn't look that big, which is my personal comment that I say after seeing every single village ruin for the last two days. We didn't spend much time, and took a roundabout tour of most of the easy access ruins. I noticed that we did a lot more hiking than the last day at Mesa Verde, but there were a lot more sites.  At Hovenweep National Monument, which was actually in Utah (Both monuments are close to the Colorado Utah Border), you could visit 8 or 9 in a two hour hiking trip. They didn't have very many roads, apparently, Hovenweep is really small. So, at about 3, we were leaving, to go north, and into the Grand Junction area. We visited Telluride, CO on the way.  The town is a ski resort. The main attraction would be the gondola ride up the mountain, and to a different city, and the "fun facts" say that this is the only form of free transportation of the many gondola lines in the world.  So, of course, when we came here we rode it. After our adventure, we took photos of the sunset. When we came back down, we ate dinner at a local Thai restaurant. Later, we headed towards Montrose, CO where we would spend the night.

The main thing I remember about this day was the Gondola Ride, and the amount of pictures we took on this day rivaled how many we took on day 3. In other words, we took a lot of photos!

Vacation part. 5

A couple of things before I start: tomorrow is my first day of school. I want to finish my vacation summary, so that I don't forget to do it later. I won't take any breaks, I will write my normal "diary" part at the top. After finishing everything I'll go back to the voices series.

On this day, we went to Mesa Verde National Park. Which is famous for its ruins. I think this was a national park that was never a national monument before it became a park. It was created to protect the ruins, and ancient artifacts from being stolen, or damaged.  The ruins were mostly adobe bricks, cemented together through a muddy yellow mixture. The old ruins were made about 600 to 1250 years ago from the natives of the time. Over this day and the next, we went to parks and monuments dedicated to protecting the ruins, and because they were in the same area, on day two of the ruins area, when I learned the history of the area, I thought that the history sounded almost exactly the same.

Overall, it wasn't my favorite park in Colorado, but it sure was the one where I didn't complain that the park looked like every other national park in the world.

Vacation Pt. 4

On this day, we went to Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. This, in my opinion was my favorite national park in Colorado. This area has very few paved roads inside the park. The only things within the paved area of the parks were the visitor center, campground, and a single picnic area. Besides that, there was a wilderness areas where you could see the actual sand dunes, the highest one rose 700 ft. higher than the desert floor. We were playing on the small about 20 foot high sand dune, when we saw another family with a sled, we thought they had a lot of fun, and my sisters and I begged our dad to rent a sled for us, and after two long hours of waiting, our dad came back with the sand sled. We all tried to master the sled, and headed for a bigger dune. By noon, we left to go west to southwest Colorado, near Mesa Verde National Park. That was our plan for the next day.

Vacation Pt. 3

I usually do not split my blog posts into different parts. I know my sister does, she tells me that she has 5 parts to her stories and ends up finishing/ concluding the story, because eventually you get board, but this is a journal so it is a little different.

Day 4:
On this day, we were driving from Denver to south Colorado, the Great sand dunes area. In the morning, we left at about 8 after doing some planning, and we went to Chautauqua Park in Bolder. Us kids didn't really understand it, so we just played in its playground. We left and took a few pictures of the University of Colorado Boulder. At about noon, we drove south, and visited the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. We watched a video about the life of students in the academy. On that day, I decided that I would not like to work in the military when I grew up. Later we visited Garden of the Gods park nearby. My dad told me that their website said that some review said that this park is "the most beautiful park in the world." When I saw it, I didn't think it was all that great, there were some rock formations, but I think they look similar to other places' rocks. During the second half of the day, my sister mentioned that she was building a PvP world in Minecraft. I was interested so I started building my own world on Minecraft, we were planning to play against each other when we could play multiplayer with wireless. I worked on it for the entire rest of the 3 hour trip to our hotel.

Vacation Summary Pt.2 8/12

After the main driving part was complete, we spent a quiet day at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, during this time, we looked at nice overlooks, and drove up and down mountains at elevations of 8500 to 12000. My sister, my grandpa, and I suffered from headaches that occurred, because of elevation sickness. 

In the morning, we went to the Bear Lake, and took the short half-mile hike around it, that was all we did in the morning, it took really long because we stopped every twenty steps to take a picture. After that, we drove up a dirt road to the Alpine visitor center, which was built almost 12,000 feet above sea level. We took many pictures of the view from the high point of the park. Later, we went back down to the other side of the park, went back up the mountain and down the other way stopping every overlook, and take every possible picture from every single angle. It was annoying, and my head was starting to hurt a lot. When we went down, we ate dinner at a Thai food place, where my head hurt so much I couldn't even eat much. At the hotel, I slept a long sleep and my headache was gone in the morning. 

Four Days No Blog

The past four days I have not been writing my blog. I will make up Wednesday's post today. At 6:30 AM, I woke up and rolled around in bed for 15 minutes. Throughout this week I had been planning the vacation to Colorado. When morning came, my dad said that he wanted to go to Boulder on the weekend (because his friend would be working if we went any later). Though we were planning to leave by eight, after all the packing, it was nine by the time we left. My dad, my grandpa, my two sisters, and I comfortly got into the eight-seater car. Despite the extra cargo from snacks, and all the suitcases for the ten day trip, we all wheedled into locations, sitting in awkward poses.

At lunch we went to a Chipotle. By 1 we were out, and we went into Utah by three o'clock. I got to go to the visitor center and look at some maps of the state. It was another four hours until my dad stopped driving at Richfield, UT  and we went to a Subway for dinner.

Playing at the hotel, and sleeping until the next day marked the end of the first day of the long road trip.
I
On the second day, we awoke at 7 for breakfast. At 8, we packed and left the city to go to Denver, CO.  After 3 hours, we were excited by the feeling of coming into a new state. The sign said, "Welcome to Colorful Colorado." We had lunch in one of the first cities we saw in Colorado, Fruita.
The next few hours were boring, covering miles in wild, forest territory. After getting to Denver, we drove North to Boulder County. My dad came to visit his college friend and I remember having to constantly change clothes to something more formal, or not as messy.  We ate at some Chinese restaurant. After eating, my father talked with his friend for a while. Meanwhile, us kids were watching the 2016 Olympic Games on the TV. At 7, we went back to the hotel, that night I slept really well.

The second day marked the end of the heavy traveling, and it was my introduction to Colorado.

No break

I want to have a break, but I guess I will just extend it, I have no ideas, well to be honest, I have some about clearing things up with the four voices, I like writing about a world, I read a lot about a worlds which is nothing like our world. I will continue my break, I am too lazy to extend the post unless I take a repeat of yesterday's ending.

A long day

We'll take another break to the voices series. I had a long day today. I wonder if yesterday's post was interesting or not. Every time I write something, I feel I am wasting my time, and that it will not matter in the end, which means my parents think I'm just trying to fill up the space. Like I just did, the first sentence doesn't tie in to my topic, yet it takes up almost 1/10 of how much I have currently written. Since I will do the an argument tomorrow, I would like to say that on Wednesday I will go on vacation.  I want to end it here, but I am afraid it will be too short, and if I end it after saying that I didn't want to end it but I was too short to end now, then I would feel my last sentence was wasted, and I also can't end it now, or after any other sentences that say I can't end it because, it would still be too short, and there would not be enough things about my topic. I still do want to end it. I just wasted that sentence write there. I will end it, so that undermines 3 sentences I just said a while ago. Bye 

Me First

I've written blog so much on my iPad, that now it has a shortcut on the browser.
Hey! Stop giving away our personal life to the readers.
What's wrong with that?
People might make fun of us.
They won't,  no one ever says anything in the comments.
Well, if you haven't checked the blog stats, we have a lot of readers from other countries too.
Well anyways, it doesn't matter, before I was born, this blog's writer already said things about his life.
So, that doesn't mean we have to.
Well I want to.
Suit yourself.
One of my friends said they once realized their was another voice that guided the writer.
But, we realized that much earlier.
<Lazy Voice and Mean voice arrive.>
Hi old friend!
I'm voice 2, and that's -
He's really lazy<Voice 1 interrupts >
(1) so that is your friend?
(2) Looks like he has a partner too.
(1) If you think we're partners, then your wrong!
<2 whispers to the other voices > this is why I call him the mean voice.
(2) wait a second, how did I get here? Isn't it impossible to visit another brain besides the one you guide?
(2's friend) Back when I graduated from voice school, I heard that there was a mistake, but I did not believe it.
(2's friend's partner) We're all in one head!?

Writing to Impress

My parents don't like my blogs recently, they say that they're not interesting enough. I'll write a sort of diary entry of how I started the voices series. This started around the point I started frequently saying, that I write on the iPad. On that day, I typed two lines of words about what I wanted to write, I wasn't thinking about my writing, and just typed something random. After that I noticed how the statements contradicted each other, and I continued the story of two voices, one lazy, and one not. I also was planning to write a story, but I was too lazy; however I did decide to turn it into a story somehow, which lead to the events of the first story.

The next day, I was stuck, and had no idea what to write so, I did a sequel. Then, I started including my thoughts and feeling. The most recent one had a topic, about me having no topics.

My parents still say I still can continue it, but it should be more interesting. The series started as a lazy way to make a longer blogpost, looks like I'll have to start putting thought into it.

NO time

Today I will not risk writing something short.

I will continue the "voices" series.

Ugh, no topics.

Don't be like that, we always have topics.

Today I am voice one

How about we call you the lazy voice.

We'll call you the mean voice.

Let's debate

(M.V)Sure

(L.V)Whatever

(M.V) I am bored.

(L.V) Can we not argue today?

(M.V) Lazy guy.

(L.V) I'm still leaving.

Quick

I like playing video games, and I don't want to write anything. Luckily, I have the computer. So, I am quick. I won't write anymore... Well, my mom came, and it looks like I'll have to make it better.

I won't write another argument.

Oh wait, no I will.

<1 and 2 notice each other but ignore each other.>

As I was saying, arguments take a lot of effort to write.

But I still wanted to because I know how to do it.

<1 and 2 think about how well they work together>

How about we don't argue today, we just work together.

Sure.

But it looks like we don't get labeled until we say the magic words.

Let's debate.

(1) Once upon a time there was a dog.

(2) That dog- wait a second, I don't want to do a story, how about a poem

(1) No way, I wanted to do a story since episode 1

(2) Well it still happened.

(1) Looks like it turned into a debate anyway.

(2) Why does it always happen!?

(1) Oh well, I'll start my own story.

<2 goes away and thinks up of a plan for a poem>

Time passes slwowly

Time can still pass slowly when you are having fun. I recently experienced that. I will finish without writing a long argument today, I had a long day at camp and the end of summer is drawing near. We will go on vacation next week, and I hope I can have one more week of Chess Camp. Summer has passed so slowly.

I love peaches

Ah, welcome to my show, as you can see I put a new label on today.
What type of a name is placeholder?
What, you would rather it be story?
No, but you should call it argument.
You type pretty fast for a person on an iPad.
I am on a computer today.
So am I! ;)
Hey! No emotes.
Who said I can't!? :(
Because I said so.
Fine, it is debate time!!!!
You're on.
(1) I am so bored, this is our third debate, can I just write a story??
(2) NO1 You have to consider my interest too.
(1) Look, this argument is boring!
(2) Want to just not do it and skip to playing video games?
(1) As long as I don't have to argue ;D
(2 runs off to play video games.)
(1) Okay here comes the "placeholder".

(1) Since it is a placeholder I don't have to do much. Maybe I'll think about what my argument will be tomorrow, right now, I'll go to the library and read. 

Redo

Okay today I will actually do a story.
Just kidding I won't.
So it is you agen.
Yes it is me again
I beat you Yesterday.
I won't fall for that trap again.
You bet you will.
It's debate time1
(1) Hahaha, you forgot to press "shift"
(2) You idiot, I am writing on an IPad.
(1 in a mocking voice) Now,now let's not say "Idiot".
(2) Space comes after a comma, you are stupid.
<1 and 2 take a break for lunch.>
(1) Hi, we're back I ate a healthy lunch with broccoli.
(2) I ate pizza.
(1) See, 2 is unhealthy and lazy.
(2) Says the person writing on a computer.
(1) No, <1 takes out his iPad> How's that?
(2) I have the certificate of the official voice.
(1) ...
(2) Yes, today it is not a story1
(1) It is a story of an argument.
(2) Well at least I didn't have to chase you today.
(1) I win!

No getting away

A story: something I haven't done in years.  Note: the title clearly does not matter anymore.

I do not actually want to write a story, what was I thinking

But I do I haven't done it in a long time

Why am I thinking to opposite things

Why am I thinking two opposite things?

Wait who was that?

Huh, that's funny.

(Both Voices)There are two voices in my head! 

I am the real one

No I am!

Let's put on debate to see who's better

Agreed.

(Voice 1) I started it, I was here first, my opinion came first.

(2) Who cares? My opinion is better.

(1) You're lazy.

(2) You can't spell "two"

(1) WELL, YOU FORGOT THE PERIOD>

(2) You keep holding "shift", and you'll look stupid with that ">" sign.

(1 Yelling) I SCREAM LOUDER THAN YOU!!!

(2 in a teasing voice) See, do you want me to be official or him? He thinks screaming makes him better.

(1) I want to write a story, so I'll do it myself. Once upon a ti-

(2) Now let's not get off topic here... <1 runs away> <2 looks around>?

(2) Yes! I win!

(1) But I stole the certificate of the official voice, I'll get to the writer first. <1 sticks tongue out> NANA-A-BOO-BOO, you can't catch me!

(2) <2 desperately tries to catch up> Wait up, you won't get away with this!

<after some time 2 takes a detour to his car>

<2 catches up and grabs the certificate>

(2) I am victorious!

(1) No, but I tricked the writer into turning this post into a story about a car chase.

(2) NOOOOOOOOO!

(1) Better luck next time.

 

HAHAH

I do not like sharing my electronics. When I do I never ever finish what I want. I hate it I do not want to write, I'll say I'm done I'll edit later.

No Distractions

Today, I need to have no distractions while I'm writing my blog post. My sister is watching some of her favorite things. I need to write a post of "fifth grade level". I also really want to just watch my sister's movie. I hate when I have to use this IPad. I type slower than I can on the Computer. I already said that last time, but the battery is better, but typing is so much harder. I think being able to get it done faster is preferable to having more time to finish the post. Also when I try to take a moment to think it asks me to "undo typing?" My sisters keep telling me to give me it I just want to finish.

What

I don't want to write anything. So I will write and wait until I can do my math. I have been doing so much random stuff recently, I can't write a real blog.

I'll do a poem:

When I try hard
I play my best card
to learn how to write again
so I decided to count to ten
cut the laziness out
and write my poem about
how I have to try
and not start to cry
so I can be better
and not get upsetter
I will write a poem.

IPad writingt

Today, my title is true. My sister is watching stupid stuff, that she watched 10 times before. Well now she is watching something new. Ohh it is so hard to write here, well at least the battery is reasonable. I just can't type like I usually do. Bye

So many erasanators

I erased so much, mostly because I wasn't paying attention. The battery was at 29% before I started this (fact) now, after writing these sentences it is at 20%. Whatever, anyway, so basically I am going to check it again. 15%. Yeah I'll go soon.  I have not another topic to write about. I say I am done. Tomorrow I have more classes.

Yesterday

Yesterday I had a really, long blog. Now, that is all for the topic. So when, I'm done I'll do some quick programming, I decided to make a game where my character just moves around to the other side in a maze.

Programming

My dad wants me to go back to programming. I haven't done it since May. Now whenever I get the computer I play video games, and don't do programming. I say I have no idea when I try to make a project, similar to what I say about writing in my blog. I'll go back in a little bit, I want to create some other simple repetitive game.

For the 6 weeks that have passed since my school ended I did a couple camps, but I mostly stayed home:
Week of 6/13 Staying home
Weekend of 6/13 Staying home

Week of 6/20: Tennis Camp/ Chess Camp until 4:30.
Weekend of 6/20: Saturday: Barnes + Nobles/ Movies; Sunday: Long 6-Night camp out.

Week of 6/27: Summer CAMP! (So far my best week)
Weekend: Staying home/ Barnes + Nobles/ video games

Week of 7/4: Monday: video games + fire works show; Rest of the week: Chess camp until 12:30
Weekend: Barnes + Nobles

Week of 7/11: ""
Weekend: ""

Week of 7/18: New Summer camp (3 week session), until 3:30
Weekend:?

Future weeks

7/25: Week 2 of the camp

8/1: Week 3 of the camp

8/8: ? I want chess again

8/15 ? I want chess again

8/22: School starts on Thursday of this week

8/29: First full week of school.

Total: Ten weeks (On week 6 )

I made this so I could see how long I would have left, I have 2 more weeks of camp, and I hope to go to a chess camp again. I will fit in some other things, and I think it would be a pretty well worth it Summer.

Pool Party

Yay, today I have a real blog post. Today my sister and her friends had a pool party. I went too. Hi, I left for 2 hours to go to the park, now I'm back, and I'm sorry to say, but I will not finish I have a magazine to read.

Fireworks

There is nothing
not a single thing
the title is wrong
this is a song
that is very wrong
because it is not wrong
but it is a song
it is a poem
but nothing rhymes with poem
nothing works
no fireworks
At four 'clock
I stop to talk
and start to go away
and live the rest of the day.

Crash

Because I hesitated for a couple second I remembered to write a poem:
So I didn't want to write one
but I must
and I can't backspace
though I can still space
I don't have a plan
so I hit myself with a pan
and found a cup
that made me give up
I found easy words
and harder ones too.
But there was always another rhyme
to continue the waste of time.

Drafts

I forgot to publish my post yesterday, and to write my poem, eventually I will always remember to write my poem and keep the challenge going, right after starting the post, see if I remember tomorrow. Oh look, my battery is at 68 percent, when I'm done I'll start math, hopefully I can actually publish this today.

Roarhumm I don't know I can't erase

Oh look, I loitered for five minutes, and now it is at 81%. WHAT??? So I can't waste much more time, because of this rule my title often has little relation to my content, so from now on, don't believe the title. This challenge has made me think before I write, which is pretty useful and time-saving, tomorrow I think I'll stop and write a poem instead. Oh yeah, how fast do you think I typed this? Now my battery is already at 76% I have to charge constantly see ya.

Giyah

I wrote a G, and since that counts as an idea I had to put something in right? Anyway, now that i have a full word, I definitely can't go erase it. Off-topic thing: yesterday I hurt my right arm, and bending my elbow is hard. I played piano, but it was harder than usual, I'm right handed, so it is hard to not use it as often. I am done, because my dad can't stop me from not writing more. 

Think before you write

I am still doing the do not erase ideas challenge. So I have to think before I write, on the other hand, when I wrote think before you write, I was not thinking before I wrote that, so I was not thinking before I was writing. Anyway, it doesn't matter, this is the last this I have before I can finally use the iPad. So, I should finish this as soon as possible, but maybe it should take longer, maybe five minutes at least? Maybe the do not erase ideas challenge was a bad idea, because I keep making excuses for erasing words, but yeah, grammar issues, however sometimes my requirements are not perfect, and I don't have clear limits of what is too far, but what is necessary. I am done. Actually, my dad just told me I'm 11 so I have to write a bit more.

I created a new paragraph for what I have to write now. I have no topics, and I just lucked out in the first section, but I still have nothing, nothing, still nothing. This reminds me of the writing exercise where you write as many words as possible, you do not have to follow any grammar rules, and the goal is to write the most words you can possibly write in a minute. It tests how fast you can type, and helps give ideas, if you don't care about perfecting the technical things, and only care about ideas, i should do some more planning before I start.

The stupid battery of this computer

My battery in this computer is stupid, when it is not charging, and the brightness is as low as it gets, and it is on power saver mode, it runs out of battery within minutes, I have only that long to finish my blog, because I want to go to my room and charge it, right now I am in my mom's room, because that is where I must write my blog. She wants to see my progress. Since my posts are so short it probably doesn't matter anyway. Now it is at 83%, it was a 100 FIVE MINUTES AGO!!! I need a new battery

Today was a little bit like yesterday

I typed the title, but I didn't want to change it into something better, because I am still going by my challenge, I don't have a lot done, when I finish I guess I'll play some chess. I don't know what else. Is this enough? I feel like every once and a while my standard for a good post keeps on going down, once it was 10 lines, now it is like 5 lines. Even if I did write ten lines it might not be enough. Whatever, I'll try to not get stuck here, I can't erase entire words unless I am rephrasing the sentence. So, I started the sentence but didn't known how to finish it. I believe that now I my content doesn't seem to have anything to do with the title. Ehh, I'll stop right here.

Frustration About Piano

I do not want to play piano much less play an hour every day on, yes, I am doing yesterdays challenge, if I don't finish everything daddy gets really mad. I did finish piano but I have a lot of other things left. I know tomorrow I will quickly finish everything, I'll do better tomorrow, I have four lines, that is enough.

Middle of Summer

Today it is the middle of my Summer (NOT), but I will say it is that, because I already wrote it down, I will allow my self to backspace mistakes, but not entire sentences or ideas. So, I will just write some words that I cannot erase, but I can erase it if it is misspelled or the grammar is bad. I think this is a good way to write from now on, so I have something rather then nothing, I promise I will try it on a topic tomorrow.

Different Computer

I am writing blog on a different computer, at home, I usually only use my computer or my mom's to do it but, I am using my grandpa's computer right now. The hard part is capital letters, my grandpa's computer only has a Chinese pinyin keyboard, and the only way to write in English is to turn on CAPSLOCK and press shift the same time I'm typing, this however makes typing punctuation hard (because with shift it turns into something else, I have typed a lot of quotation marks instead of apostrophe's so far.) It just occurred to me that when I type like this I will lose the no backspace challenge.

No playing piano

After coming back from summer camp, I don't feel like playing piano anymore, my sisters also do not want to practice their instruments anymore either. Right now, I just finished, I will have to play again later, like I did before summer camp. Right now, I wonder if I will get back to how it was before I left. Same thing with writing blog, I still don't have many topics to write about, but now I don't want to think about it anymore. I thought about this topic before writing blog.  I have nothing else more I want to do.

Third one

Yay, I am on my third make up post. I have no idea what to do next. So I will write about my summer. What? That was very random. I don't feel like doing anything today. I'll rest for a bit after this. OK, I'm back (You'll never guess if I actually rested or not) Well, my sisters are being so annoying. I'll play piano soon, I want to get away from them.

Make up posts

Since I was out at camp, I have to make up my blog posts, I told my dad I would do three today and this is my second one so far, I don't think I have any idea what to do for the third one so, yeah. I am also excited to finish, because I will get the iPad when I'm done. I think I am saying this every week... I can't wait, but I hope this is good enough. I wonder if my daddy will only let me have 2 posts. But I did promise to do three.

Summer Camp

For the last week, I was out at summer camp. I think what I cared about was that, when I got back, the next installment in my favorite book series Wings of Fire would come out. There were 10 other people in my boy scout troop who came with me. I asked about everything, as some people had come to this place before. I believed everything, even jokes, on Sunday, someone told me that they would draw blood from our arms. They didn't. When I asked what they served at dinner, they told me it was canned meat and peaches. Turns out the food was much better. On Tuesday, I started to realize that I wouldn't hear any news, and whenever someone did talk about the latest news (by hearing it somewhere outside of the camp) I wondered what was going on while I'm gone? From Monday to Thursday, I had classes everyday to work on merit badges. On Wednesday, we had a big group campfire, and I thought some of the skits were pretty funny. Today, we packed up and headed home. Tomorrow, I will finally get to read the next book! 

Summer Camp

On Sunday, I will be going camping. I think I would like it better if I could save this topic for tomorrow, but I have nothing today, so... I hate planning early, and I had to get ready last night. Today we're going to buy some other things I don't have yet. This will be for a full week, without my daddy. 9 other people from my boy scout troop are coming. I hope it will be exciting, but right now, my dad is only talking about the water, and to stay out of the water, because I don't know how to swim. So I need to avoid that. This exact moment, I think it would be best if I could go sooner, because I should stop wondering and find out for myself.

Chess Camp

I think I have used my title already. Whatever, I play against my friend, today I lost four games against him and won four too. So yeah, we're even. Anyway, on Friday, we will have a tournament, and I don't think we can have a rematch, it will be all about who wins first... Scary. So I am excited and hope I can find out the result soon.

Random Naming

Today is the day I had my first class of the summer. It was a combo of Tennis and Chess, Tennis in the Morning, Chess in the afternoon. Today the heat wave struck, making the average temperature 95 degrees Fahrenheit (no, not Celsius). After Tennis was over we had lunch, and the temperature dropped to "only" 85 degrees. After Chess it went up to at least 100 degrees, and I was glad to get into the car..

Father's Day

Today is father's day, I think my day was rather weird, the temperature makes me feel uncomfortable, and the stupid ads playing make it worse. I had fun surprising my daddy with some presents in a scavenger hunt. Now I have nothing to write, can I end it write here? My dad doesn't even know what I'm doing ... So if I'm done I can play on the iPad.

Yay! This is the first time I didn't mention my grammar error. Wait no, I just did.

Saturday in Summer AGAIN!

So, Saturday is still better than the other days in Summer. Even without school, my dad is home, so he can let us play on the iPad. Plus, it is nice to see my other sister not having to go to school (her school isn't on summer vacation yet.) So I can play with everybody. Next week, I will have my chess class, I wonder how it will be, will we just play? Or will we have to spend three days learning how to play? Next next week, I will be off at summer camp, for a whole week, I've never camped out that long before! After that, it will be the week of 4th of July, and I'll finally, finally get to see the fireworks show, I haven't in TWO YEARS! After that, I don't know what is happening. So this Saturday, like the last one is a place where I can think ahead to what is happening next.

I always worry that my blog isn't good enough. I think I should put some more effort into it, but I just don't have any topic, or any reason to think for ten minutes for a single topic. So yeah, I get this, I'll try to make it better by correcting some grammar issues. I think that will make my dad proud, I normally don't care about grammar errors. By the way, I think I have been telling more of my personal life out, the more I write about it, the more I wonder if people are actually reading it. 

Secrets

I have a lot of things I don't want to write in my blog, secrets, sometimes I also feel that a lot of people actually read my blog. Then I check my pageviewers, I actually have a lot. I don't want to put in too much information, but I never see any comments, so I don't know if people are reading or not, if anybody is, then yay! If not, this post would sound very foolish. I want to see!

New Game!?

I made a new game at the park today, I call it treasure hunting. In which everybody buries some type of object that stands out in the sand. The goal of the game is to hold all the objects in your hand to win. Bottle caps work best, for their unique size, and color in relation to the sand. For this game, every player needs a unique bottle cap, to prevent confusion, it is recommended to use sharpie to mark the bottle cap. Once the bottle caps are prepared, the players need to find an area of sand, that is reasonably large, and mark the boundaries.

Everybody takes turn burying their object, without the other players looking, once everybody has buried their object, they should all try to look around for bottle caps. The one who can gather all of them, and prove that they have gathered them wins. Players are allowed to try and take caps from other players, so if your bottle caps are not buried, hold on to them tight. You are allowed to rebury caps after they are taken out. Trades and tricks are allowed, but fakes are not.

Strategy:
One key point in the game, is to go for your own cap last, doing so will reveal the location of your cap.
A strategy I like is to pretend to not be able to find my cap, then when the other players come, I "secretly" go to another fake location, then when they notice, I go looking for their caps.
With trades, the idea is that you give someone something, at the same time they give you something. Once, when I had my sisters cap, and she had mine, I secretly buried hers, and took out a random pile of sand, and we did the trade, soon after I got out mine and won the game. 

Feet Hurt

Right now, my feet hurt, I've been sitting in this chair for way to long, so much, that my feet are stiff, and I don't want to get off this chair. My butt won't come off, but it is my feet that are stiff, weird. I also want to finish this right now, but I know I have two hours before the deadline, and this is the only thing that I have to do that's left. They hurt so much that, well actually, they don't hurt anymore, so this is kind of a waste of time. My sister is being kind of annoying, and she wants me to finish, so I guess I'm done. Just cause she wants me to, not a quality post...

Post Title

I have mixed feelings about summer, which is stupid, because I thought summer would, without a doubt, be awesome, however I also have some things to do, like practicing piano and math. I wrote my Title as "Post Title", because I have no idea whether or not I want to spend the time doing a long time on it. I wish I could enjoy something, rather than hoping for the future, and never enjoying the present. I may start to enjoy this, but I feel like once I enjoy something the time I will have is too short. I am too negative. If I hate something, I will be bored and wait for something exciting, however, I it unlikely that I will think it is exciting once I get to actually experience it. In the rare chance I like it, I think the time would be too short, I haven't changed from this thought process since at least third grade, I don't know how to properly enjoy something.

Tuesday

Tuesday is a boring day, it is not the first day nor the last day. Things that are fun on day one, because they're "new" get boring on Tuesday. After a long weekend, Monday is pretty fun, but it goes hurtling down on Tuesday. I find this applies to Summer too, it may be sort of fun to have a free day of no-work, all play on computers, smartphones, and gaming consoles. However, after 9 hours it just isn't as fun anymore. I find that during the school year, I hated Tuesday most of all. Today is a Monday, my mom will not be home for the whole day tomorrow, it will just be my sister, my grandpa, and me, I wonder how that would feel. Now this makes me look forward to some of my summer camp activities during the next three weeks, but I feel like after a while, I'll be looking forward to my free time again, then to school starting again, then after school starts, I'll be looking forward to the first weekend, then the next weekend, and eventually Winter Break, Spring Break, and the whole Summer Charade again. I think this is how I feel. I want to enjoy as many days as possible, so I'll want to make everyday as interesting as possible. As for in July, I hope I won't be wishing for school to start sooner, and then when it starts wish for summer again. I think you know why...

Duck Duck Goose

I am writing every single thought that goes through my head, or am I? I think I am thinking about my words a lot more than I think, as proven by the fact that I typed backspace over 23 times already in this post, not counting the 10 times it took to wright this second sentence. So I haven't yet thought of a topic, so like last time, I'll try to resist the urge to type backsapce. I adn jud type what I want and what comes through my head, I will not wrory about grammer arrors and or acciedtntly type somethin a i badly want to erase, even teh title is not really good, and it was the trhee words that mwere in my haead at the time.  I look how many speeling erros I have already, I toadalty realyi in o n backspace whey to much. I f i trided erasing I whould have maybe 100 backspaces. I am not good oat this.

Summer Saturday

I invented it, from now on, I will call the Saturday before the first school-week (Mon. to Fri.) without school for Summer Break, Summer Saturday. I am still getting used to Summer, and sometimes it feels just like a regular Saturday, with 1:30 to 6:00 PM being Chinese School, the morning being finishing homework, and the evening being writing Blog and doing math. Even when I don't have school the day after the next day, it can still feel like that, however, today was the last day in my Chinese School, and I don't have anymore, or any Chinese Homework this Summer. So yay! So while it may be the same, to me, it is a reminder that major changes are coming the next weeks, and vacation, and the complete summer experience, will follow.

Summer

Today was the first day of Summer Break, and I had nothing to do. I think summer break has its own set of activities. So, in the morning, I prefer to sleep in, why not? But 9 times out of 10 my sister will drag me up. Later in the morning, I decide to go and do whatever I can to play on a computer, whether it is trying to guess a password, or look for open computers, or some other way of getting a form of entertainment for the morning, at lunch I do something simple, so I can get back to what I was doing before. At late afternoon, I do the work that will make my dad happy when he comes home at 6:15. Then, we have dinner, and after that I try to get the iPad. Finally, I play monopoly with my family. This is my Summer, really boring right?

Ten minutes

I will have to write this whole thing in an akward position for the rest of the class. I also have only ten minutes. I will try to write this, to write a description of my environment, because I want to practice my skills in describing things. My mom is looking at her computer, but occasionally looks at her phone. The table I am on has 9 chairs. I am in this position so she can look at whatever I am doing right now. My sister is sitting on a large piano, and my piano teacher, is standing up tall, giving advice to her. I think my sister wants to sleep. In 3 minutes, I'll start my turn. However, at this exact moment, nothing is happening, people are just talking to each other. So it will be another 8 minutes ...

Title

There once was a boy. He never told anybody his name. Only his family, and people his family told, knew his name. He also stayed away, and tried to change his attitude every day, so no one knew what he liked, and who he was. He stayed alone, and when someone came around, he figured out a way to escape, and that happened so many times, that no one ever tried twice. People were confused, and so no one talked about him, and soon, his family didn't either. No one knew anything, and no one tried, or had the patience to find out his life story.

It didn't matter, no one cared, and everyone was pretty sure he didn't either. All the windows were closed, and he moved out. After he was about 16 years old, he moved out, and his family changed back to normal. Very soon, this boy found it difficult to survive, after 2 years out in the city streets, and soon stopped his method of avoiding everything. He was the only beggar in the town, and was recognized by everyone. The pressure on him was so high, he had to run from the city. Apparently, when he told his story, that his city was in the middle of nowhere, and the town was surrounded on 2 sides by mountains, and 2 sides by a forest. Due to the fact that, he heard that the mountains were dangerous, he went through the forest, but somehow took a wrong turn, and landed on the mountains. The next city was 34 miles over the mountains. It was easy, and he was lucky. He was so lucky, that he barely climbed any mountains at all. He came back, and then people realized that these mountains weren't so bad anyway. This connected the city to the rest of the world, and people liked this boy.

Preparetion

I spelt the title wrong, I will not press the backspace once, from now on, if I misspell something, then I will have to deal with it. Let's see what I can do. It is ckind of hard to fight the instictn to w=not press backspace, and when I miss a key, I will have to just type dalkdj with the mistakes . . Si I dnon't kown what sjuts hapened there. I 'll try tonot make it happen again. I have so many words that are wrong.... NOOOOO!

Music

Today I have a music concert at 7:00. I play the flute. I am writing this right now, because I have nothing else to write about. When I finish this, I will watch some videos. Should I be serious?

We are going to play 2 songs, one is 2 pages long, and one is one page long. I am getting ready to play. I hope that I will be able to play well, and impress my mom and classmates. Tomorrow I will tell everyone how I did.

The waste game

Over the weekend, I went camping, I played a game called the waste game. In the waste game, we talked about what you waste by doing a certain action, some were funny "Waste, your life, by going to school." Some made sense "Waste, water, by flushing the toilet." It was nice to see what everyone could think about. It might not matter at all, because it is so small. My friend told a story about the civilization "the waste people", who wasted everything they had, and the "conserving people", who did not waste anything. The waste people died once a drought came. The next day, we talked about more ways to waste things: "Waste, time, by tripping." It didn't take up most of the time, but it was a fun way to connect with the other people camping with me.

In Piano Again

   Today I have to write my blog in piano class again, there are many differences, first, I have to listen to my piano teacher talking to my sister, second, I'm in a different environment, than I'm usually in, and finally,  my mom is currently not around, but I have to finish before she comes back. It doesn't help much with helping me think of my topic though. Last time I did a recording , this time, I'm being even lazier. I'm all alone, the other people in this room don't notice me, and no one is watching me. Next time, I hope I can think of something.

Right Blog

Sometimes, when you write, people tell you to "just write". I find that true, often times when I don't worry about specifics, and just write, I can make a much better post. Also, when I hear my mom, I can type way faster, but this is still a bad blog ;(

... Continue... Oh Yeah, I have 10,000,000 drafts to finish, maybe I should work on them

   I am never able to finish my blog. I try, but I always end up pushing it off to the next day... and then forgetting about it. It happens, when I open up my blog, write one or two sentences, play a video game, close the computer, open it the next day, and realize my blog isn't finished, then go on and plat another game, eventually I just close it out of the thought "I'll never finish it ...". So I end up with a lot of unfinished posts. So ... now what, I want to just finish, but I have nothing to write. I never have anything to write ... If I stop it will be not good enough for my mom, if not, my mom will complain about this section being a waste of time. Ok ... so I am just making observations, is that good enough? I don't know if I actually like doing this or not? Finishing will be hard, I never know what to do, and I always feel like I write waaaaaaaaaaaay too little.  Can I stop now? I feel like this is no different than simply writing two or three sentences. This is what happens every single time I try to write a blog like this. I hope people like this better.

Math and math and math

Oh, I wrote the title yesterday, whatever. So, I finished almost everything, and I might be able to go to Barnes and Nobles !!! After I finish this, and I did, YAAAAY.


What? Oh right it is not a quality post, well now it is!

Post Title

Since I don't want another blank post, I'll call this one Post Title, because I still have to write in the title. In the editor, when you haven't written your title, it says Post Title, so that's what this is, a post with no title. Should it be "blog" or "post", recently I have been referring to it as "blog". So yeah, I have come back to this after 500 years. Wait, it was 10 hours, sorry. I have nothing more to say. 

Blog at Piano

   It is kind of funny I'm writing this in piano class, when blog and piano are my two main things I need to finish every day besides homework. Right now, my sister is playing, so I will do a direct recording blog. "music is playing right now". When I am going on a rush ... <I didn't hear the rest>, now the song starts again. Now do you get it (Piano Teacher). My mom is sighing. My teacher is talking about the metronome. ... <i can't hear clearly.> 

Barnes + Noble

Every Sunday I go to Barnes and Nobles. Well, usually, I like going there, because I can see all the new books, and just relax for the day. Yesterday, I was planning to write about something else, but I had to sleep early to wake up early for a long hiking trip. I got back 2 hours ago. While this does sound like a nice thing to write about, I was saving the Barnes and Nobles thing for like 2 weeks, and I think I should just right it now. So that is what I'm going to do. I'm sure you saw that "right", the thing is this editor doesn't check for grammar (you've noticed that about my writing, write?) It only checks for spelling. So I could type "I ate a pair", and this won't notice it is wrong. Now that was a long side note.

Anyway ( Back to my old habits), I went their Yesterday, but I want to go again, I have a book I want to finish! So I get to go when I finish, YAY! Since I need this to be a quality post, I wonder what I should do. I need to learn how to write. I know what will happen if I would continue, so just bye.


I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE. I FEEL LIKE I AM JUST DOING THIS TO DO IT. I NEED TO GET BETTER...

Naming

   In a general sense, why should any one care about your name?? Why does it make such a big difference what your name is, but, because names are so important, you still give names to random things. Why do I need to give things names? Names don't do anything. However, they can make people feel different ways. IT IS TIME TO END THIS. BYE$ (put there for random reasons)

Word repasting

   There is so much to do, but I am not able to do anything right now, half the time, even typing doesn’t work. So yeah, it took 10 minutes, just for the internet to switch on. NOOOOOOO now I know my mom won’t like this. It just sounds really lazy to my mom. Once she said that my intros are useless. Oh,  I should get to other things. Bye, and sorry mom. 

Title

   I called it that, because I basically have to, how many title less blogs do you want to see anyway? So I called it "title".

   I just wrote some random stuff, that is ultimately, stupid. Now I'm just blabbing all over the place. WHAT AM I DOING???? Why am I JUST TYPING STUFF TO MAKE THIS LONGER, MY MOM DEFINITELY WILL NOT LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!! NOW SHE'LL HATE IT EVEN MORE. MY STUPID THING IS FULL OF NOTHING. BUT I HAVE NO TOPIC, I'M JUST WASTING SPACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, at least I finished, right?

Skip the hard part, skip the hard part. Oh, hi, today I have no topics, and no idea how to get a topic that my mom will write. So instead, I'll write a story. I know, I haven't in a long, long time.  So I'll do the easy parts first, such as ... labeling this as a story, check! Wasting time, check! Getting side tracked,  check! Getting comfortable, check! Wasting more time, check! Okay, now I'm done with all that. I will write ... 9 cats,  the sequel.

So after all the cats were dead, the mice celebrated, no more cats to hammer their heads! So they explored the cat's house, and they found lots and lots of treasure. The explorers did not want to share. So they hid their findings. However, the news was eventually leaked out. Every mouse soon wanted some of it, and all the treasure got spent. Now, however, the mouse built a "huge city", complete with predatory defense. All cats stayed away, the ones who didn't didn't get closer than 3 cat lengths to the city. Then one day the birds arrived, and it turns out the mice weren't prepared, but they ran, gathered all the mice in the world and built a new city, with air defense. Then all the cats and birds came and charged, the cats were smashed by hammers, and the birds ran away. The mouses won again!

The poem that makes no sense

It is poem day.
so anything that rhymes may.
pay, lay, tray, lei
all go no need, hey.

??? I don't get it
Are you sure, not one bit?
Yes, I know that little bit.
Okay, where do you not get it.

The whole thing, just rhymes, it doesn't make sense.
What??? That makes you dense.
Why, you currently don't make any "cents"
So why should I care what happened is already past tense.

Now you are speaking right
Well duh, but it ain't black and white
No slang you say shall be right
How do you still remember? hang on tight!!!

What?
QUIET! CASHEW NUT!
But ...  but ...
Quiet, or this won't ever be cut

Cut what?
Cut short nut.
It can't go forever, "but"
Yes it can, "nut" who said "but"

No it can't, "but" who said "'nut' who said 'but'"
I can do that too, "nut"
Sure I can too, "but"
Yes it can "nut" who said ""but" who said "nut" who said "but""

See, I'm right, forever it cannot go on.
Yeah, you're right it will not go on.

How [not] to please my mom

It is always easier to skip the title. I think it will make things 10000% easier. When you can forget that you have topic constraints, you can pretty much write anything your imagination takes you. Today I plan to talk about my approach.

When I write my blog, I never can get my mom to like it. I think I am just typing random things, and trying to be funny. However, I think if I be a little more serious and do some planning, things could be a lot easier, well no, I could just please my mom more often.  I just finished my topic, normally I would try to save my self by switching topics, and rambling on and on. However, today, I will spend time thinking about it more. Oh, yeah, that is another thing, I have a list on how I write bad blogs:

1. I just want to get it done, without thinking about how good it is
2. I start my topic, I don't have anything to write, or it is too short
3. I switch and think if I be funny everything will be all write to write.
4. I fail, badly.

Well, that is how not to make my mom happy.

THAT IS IT, I HATE TITLES! I AM NOT DOING A TITLE TODAY! I hate titles, I wish I could just write a poem. What? Oh, yeah, I should right a poem, I mean rite a poem, I mean ...

There was a cat
It had a hat,
it ran from the mat
and said hi to a rat.

The rat ran away
The cat cried astray
A horse came and went neigh
and asked the cat to catch its prey

the cat said no
the horse then did a throw
the cat was not very slow
the rat needed to go

but the cat ruined its day
the cat had a horrible May
the horse ruined his day
and the happy horse said, "neigh!"

Catch on

I have nothing to write about. I do have an idea, but it is too short for it to turn this into a "quality post." My mom says she reads my blog every single day. I feel like, no matter what I write, it will be really bad. I remind myself that I have pleased her since she started making me write "quality posts", once. I try to copy what I did, but I never get it right.

Oh, by the way, did you notice how my titles are weird lately, it is because with no topic, my title is related to the topic of the intro.

Anyway, back to my original topic. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have anything else to write on it! Yep, I can't do this without writing a story or a poem

Busy day

Is today a very busy day? I think so, so far I have not been required to do much. Eventually though, I know the stuff will build up. Right now, I don't want to do anything, I want to wait. I really want to do the fun stuff first. Today, I have to do piano, and really almost nothing else. Yet, because I'm wasting time, it feels like I have a whole lot to do. I'm also under pressure to finish things before my dad comes home.

Another problem, WHAT WILL MY TOPIC BE TODAY, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING!!! Actually, my main problem is I can't think of a good topic. I mean, I can write about little mouses or something. Hmm, maybe this idea will impress her...

So I remember my first post, 9 cats. I will talk about mouses today! Not real mouses, ... duh, but the ones in my story. These mouses were very smart. They outsmarted the cats. Now when I look back it, I think it is very funny. I want to write another story, soon, maybe in 5 days, no make that 7 years... 

My goal of 20

   This month my mom challenged me to write 20, I waited to long, I may have to write 2-3 posts each day to reach that goal. It will be hard, but I think I have to. So, I will write 20 blogs, if possible. This is my second blog of the day, but I have no topic. So I will think hard, and waste time, until I finally have an idea.

20 posts is actually very hard, I have about 6 days left. WHY DID I WRITE THAT??? I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO WRITE, and this blog is getting weirder, and less "quality" Oh, maybe I should quit before it gets worse.

7 in March

My mom just commented how I only wrote 7 blogs in March, so what, Now I have EIGHT!! Yes, mommy, I'll make sure you know I wrote more than seven in march.

Today is the first day of my Spring Break! Next week, I have no school, today I also don't have to go to Chinese School, and not next week either. So, I have high hopes this spring break, normally we go on a failed vacation, I want this time to be perfect! This is the start, I hope today will be a good day. So hard ... I feel like I don't have a lot of time.

Off track

   I haven't written very many blogs recently, but mostly because I didn't finish them, and after the day I wrote it, most of the information is outdated, this blog may not actually be published, but I will try. There are many reasons this situation can happen, one reason, is I get distracted, and don't finish, other times I can't, and I don't want to make it up, I am also under the pressure of my mom looking at it, and it is bad, I wrote this for one reason, to clear up, I will write some more.

30 minute warning

   Sound familiar? Well, yes, today I have to write this in thirty minutes. I did that in my post about hiking called "hikeing", but whatever, basically, I have to write it in thirty minutes. Of course, it is possible, but after many complaints from my mom that my blogs are too "messy and simple", that may not be as easy as it normally is for me, added to the fact I want to do other things after finishing.

   Speaking of challenges, my mom has a challenge for us. My sisters and I have to be as good as we can be, the best behaved child at the end of the week gets to eat at a restaurant - and only them. This makes us pretty motivated to do things. Oh great, now I don't know what to write anymore, I don't even know what my topic is! Oh well, I guess I will just do challenges, but I don't have any other challenges to write about! Well, except the no-stopping-for-more than-5-seconds-to-stop-and-think-challenge, but if I have no topic to write about then that will be almost useless to write about! I'll just brainstorm some challenges real quick.

  Still nothing ...
Nothing
Nothing
Oh, I got one, I will use this in the future too, "type a thing that is not a poem that my mom will still like."

Restart ... please wait

    Sorry, before I may write more you must wait about 9 minutes. 9 minutes later, I'm sorry I miscalculated, that will be about 20 more minutes. 20 minutes later, that will be an extra three minutes. 3 minutes later, READY! me, "WHATEVER!!! YOU TOOK SO LONG, NOW I DON'T EVEN WANT IT ANY MORE!!!"   Anyway, today I had major delays, this took so long to finish loading, and then I had some more problems, and arguments, and yeah, it is true, I barely want to write anything right now anyway, SO FRUSTRATING.

    Now I have to think of something to write, no, it should be something stupid, so when I look back at this post, I would know I had a bad day, never mind, that has been taken care of. So while I'm typing this, I my mom is sitting next to me on her phone. I'm so sleepy, daylight saving time is sooo annoying. Ugh, now I have to sleep one hour earlier than usual, I'm already wayyyyyyy past my new bedtime of ... 9:00 P.M. Whatever, you must wait again, just kidding, I don't know how to end this, I want to got to sleep already!!! Wait, I know, goodbye. Nah, that is to simple, wait I mean too simpel, wait I mean .... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ... zzz

Write a poem

As many people can see,
and all will glee,
this is not a poem,
because I broke the rhyme.

What rhymes with poem?
I'm not sure.
I can check on rhyme.com
but I checked that before, and all work as much as "bomb"

So this isn't a poem
but I'll try my best
I'll type it up
and I hope I will finish this up.

hikeing

Don't bother with the title. I have to write this in half an hour or less.  So, I will try my type without stopping method to easily write long blog posts. I cannot stop to rest my fingers for more than three seconds and I will (read: try) to not keep myself in the challenge by thinking while I constantly type something than backspace it and repeat it just so I can think while being "productive". So yeah, I shall begin about my hiking trip today.

This is my second intro, 'cause I didn't want to put this in my first. I know, I have like 9 posts called "Hiking.", but this one is different, A: I have an intro (well two) B: I misspelled the title, and C: I didn't capitalize the first letter. Hooray! I wrote all this in four minutes, compared to sometimes I type one sentence in thirty minutes. Now on with the main post.

So today I went "hikeing" with my mom. I wanted challenge us so we decided to take a longer route than usual. Along the way, we talked about somethings, like my grades. This is different than many long hiking trips I take. (long meaning more than an hour; most of the time with a couple friends.) We always have to stop to take pictures, not this time, we sped right through. My mom talked about a novel she was planning to write. We turned back at 10:00. The way back was a lot quieter. I promised to do things. Then we went home.

Wow. The intros were longer than my post, oh well, bye.

Finally

Today I got my first paid game! I used a gift card I earned from an auction. Anyway, I wanted this game for a long time. I'm happy I actually got it, I was worried about taxes and all that. So yeah, (my new favorite words), I'm pretty happy today.

Now I want to talk about my blog. Sometimes I like it, other times, I think it is a waste of time. I mainly like it, because I can post my opinions for other people to see (I just loved attacking Common Core), so anytime I want to give my viewpoint on an opinion, I hop right in and write my blog post about it. I also know I haven't done a lot of other types recently (all journals with an intro), so maybe I'll go for a story sometime. I discovered (When I was labeling this post), that I have had over 20 labels! I will try something new next time, you'll see.

Follow through

   Yeah, yeah, today I'm typing random stuff. I don't have much to write. I will keep on typing like I always do to find something interesting, but I CAN'T , there is nothing!!! Well, eventually I will find something, it will take a long time, no just kidding, it might take a long time. So yeah, I don't know what to write, so I'll follow through with the intro until I have an idea. I also don't feel like stopping to think about it, because the more I wait, the more tense and bored I'll get. Maybe I'll talk about my eating habits.

     I always forget things my parents tell me the day before, well, not forget but not following the advice, "You have a spoon, so use it." or "Remember to put the bowl in the dishwasher." Also, I very picky, I don't eat anything that I don't recognize, and I definitely do NOT eat certain vegetables. I like dessert and fried foods. Yummy! So I'll just follow through, maybe someone will comment about my eating habits. I don't care about posting them, I'm proud of them (up to a certain level), bye!

Be Discreet

Hi, I wanted to talk about being sneaky. are you sneaky? When you try not to be sneaky you aren't as sneaky, strange, right? A lot of other things affect your sneakiness. One of the sadder ones, is that the longer you be sneaky without being caught, the more likely you are to get caught.

I have just decided that is the intro, even though the title says otherwise, because ... reasons. I'm not going to tell you them. I just think that I don't have much to write about about the above topic. So yeah, I should do this more often. Anyway, now I don't have much to write here, OH NO! Well, this always happens, I'll just have to deal with it. Maybe I'll talk about math. I have an entire math book in my room. I just don't know. I have to do it a lot. I don't though. (You know what is coming next) Oh well, bye.

Back on track

Horrible, just HORRIBLE. I probably haven't written in a week :C. I'm so sorry, well, I was just too busy, just kidding, it will be a lot more busier next week, or next year. The title is just a lazy title, sorry. Also, I don't have a body idea, just an intro idea, maybe I should just call my intro my main post. This is all about getting my posts back on track, which happens (recently) every two weeks, that is just sad.

Anyway, (Yay I do have a main post), actually ... I can't think of much, I just had an average day, a nice day at the park and an afternoon shopping.

Forgetment

    By now, you know what I'm going to put in my intro, if I have a title, talk about how I found a topic before I started, otherwise, just say something random, after the intro, put an "Anyway, ..." and start the main body of the post. Basically I just wanted to say that yes, I have a title and a topic already thought out for today.

    At first I wanted to talk about how weird my computer is, I also thought about what to put in my intro, but in my haste, I forgot my original topic about how weird my computer is, and decided to talk about forgetting topics, for some reason, I was too in a hurry, I accidentally typed "forgetment", I always type weird words when I'm in a rush. Basically, this blog is about how easily "forgetment" actually is. So, most of the time, when you move a short distance, and while moving think about other things, you're more liable to forget.

lalalala lala

   Today, I had a successful "have title already known before starting to write" situation. The weird thing is, I wasn't even thinking about my blog post before I started. I just got really lucky.

   Anyway, I wanted to talk about how when you write a tune, you think that they know the tune, but once you stop and take a look at the situation, well, you probably know what I mean (fun fact, the title is the first part of a song that goes: "lalalala lala", oops I did it again). Well, it is the main song in Annie or something. I try to use spaces and whatnot to group together certain phrases that go together, in the lyrics, a space means a comma or a breath mark(Is there such thing in vocal music? I just said it, because it is a thing in wind instruments). So I wonder how many of these things you can actually get.

• nananananananana nananananana nanananana (It is some type of Holiday song, I think)
• hmhmhmhm hmhmhmhm lalala lalala nananananana nananananana hm hm hm hm hm hm ( Chinese or French song, I don't know which)
• taka taka ta ta (I made this up, the answer will surprise you)

Number one is a holiday song, I don't know the name.
Number two has two names, and I don't want to say both it would be embarassing
Number three is a rythmn saying, It has no tune, it is supposed to simply "keep the beat."

Reactions, reactions

   Today, I will continue yesterday's contest, only with a new topic: comments, ready, set, GO!

   I wonder what the reactions were to Yesterday's post, like I write posts while wondering the reactions, I go back and change certain things if I don't like the reactions. So, I never check comments, so I wonder what the comments were, I noticed people don't really comment much, oh well, I wonder the reaction to this one. btw: I know this is almost five lines long, so yay, I'm almost done, now I am. Whatever, I think I should continue, so I have nothing more to write about, so I declare the on-topic part of the contest over.

   So now, I'm thinking about the thinking process for a post, so first, if I can think of a title, and a topic before I need to write, then I will have a title. The rest, just comes to mind, and if I have enough on my mind, the contest is really easy actually.


BYE!

    And again, a no title post, I just did this because it will be much easier if I forget the title/ideas and get right to writing the post. So as you know, I always start with an intro. Also, since I still can't think of anything to write, I will just keep typing my intro until I can think of useful content that will count as an adequate post. Right now I'll talk about some of my blogging habits. One of the most common ones is to say a post is adequate if it is more than five lines long, so now technically I can call it a night and publish right now. However, I want to do more and will keep going to write some random stuff till I get there.

    I thought of what I want to write! I'll write about something weird. The goal for me is to not stop typing for more than 5 seconds but still keep writing and stay on topic. Also, I'm not aloud to type placeholders, meaning I can't erase anything except for typos(and not some weird string of letters while I'm thinking of a topic), but look, see I find this also amusing, I could be typing this over the course of many days and you wouldn't even know, hahahaha! I'm so good at this! Anyway, so basically my topic will simply be this writing contest with hardly any stops to rest, and right now I'll begin: So, I like this contest, I think writing about it is cool, is this appropriate as a blog post? Maybe, because the point is to practice writing, but right now I think I'm doing more typing than writing practice. However, I think this is too long. I want to stop now. OH NO! I forgot to say how long this will go on. Whatever, I'll just stop it now.

   SUCCESS I MANAGED TO DO IT!

The proper post

   Hello this is my proper post of the day, meaning it has my complete structure of a post. Aka, it has an intro. Just to be clear, this is my second post of the day too. However, this is the proper one. Since it is proper it is the best post ever! Well no, actually, it would be the one that makes my mom happy the most. Since, she wants me to write every day!

   Anyway, I want to talk about etiquette, STUPID THING, I can't even spell it properly. Who cares! It is just, etiquette, "This is the right way to do things, or else your not proper" See, that's why I hate it. I just hate things telling me what to do, and this is the example. So, I brought this up because I used the word "proper" in the title.

Long term wait

I like waiting for long term projects. It's just because I wish to do other things. I want to play and barely get regular homework done at times, or I use my free time on playing around. Well, I have a project due Friday, and I don't think I've even done half of it yet. So, I love waiting around. Even when something is due the next day I like to wait until 4 until actually starting. So, naturally I don't really like long term projects. I wait for it, because in the beginning you won't think it is as important. So in the future, your future self thinks, grr I HATE YOU PAST SELF!

    No title again, oh well, even if I do think of it later, I want the readers to be happy! So I don't have a title today. END OF INTRO.

    Okay, I have absolutely nothing to write about. So let's talk about intro's. I use it a lot, because it adds some excitement to my blog. So, I love them. I want to continue it for like 20 paragraphs. Anyway, (Any way is my keyword for "End of Intro"), wait NOOOO, this is still the intro. I should'v e know I couldn't resist continuing. Whatever, so I still have nothing to write about. Maybe, I should just count this. Oh well, bye.

Topic

   Topic is already decided, the topic is ... My day at Barnes & Nobles, my mother suggested it to me.

   So, I like going to that Barnes & Nobles on Sunday or any day I have a whole day of free time, and I spend the whole day there, paradise! Today I did it again. I've done it four times. Most of the time, I can get in a full day, and eat lunch at the shopping center. I got to read so many books. I love it! The library doesn't have every book I want at the exact time I want it, but at Barnes & Nobles, almost every book is there. Anyway, today I went again, I didn't even stop to eat today! I had a really good time.

Itchy finger typing

     Yahoo! No intro today! Intro meaning the opening speech before the actual post, wait nooooooooooooo! This is an intro. DARN!

    My post title is called Itchy finger typing, because when I don't know what to write I just write things like "HELLO" or "HELLO KELLY" it just is a placeholder, I get rid of it later, but I thought it would be funny if I told you about it. Sometimes, I'm not even aware, I've done it so many times that it just comes naturally if I don't type anything for more than 6 seconds or so. Since I want to do something other than tell you about it, I'm going to continue my criticism of common core in math.

   The repeat thing is really big. DO THEY HAVE TO REVIEW PLACE VALUE AGAIN?! I mean seriously, come on! They really should look at last year's books, 'cause the standards are almost the same. Why don't they just get to the point with all the diagrams, models, and other random stuff? In real life, are you ever going to have a paper to draw a diagram? Do you really need to conceptually understand a skill, before learning the procedure. This makes lessons twice as long, one for procedure, one for conception. You get to less. Math books should definitely revolve around what teachers want to teach, if teachers go off the book to much, that is a sign the book is bad.

Laziness

Yay! Finally I figured out a title, before I wrote the content of the post!

Anyway, today I want to talk about how hard it is to write a blog post, most of the time I want to write a quick post, oh and, use a random topic, I also like to attract attention with funny openings before I get to the real post. And I'll always remember how I like to do something else while I'm writing my blog. (oh no! Now I revealed my secrets I can't use them anymore), just kidding I totally will keep doing this. Now I want to write something I wanted to do a long time ago:

Common Core-ugh, I hate it:
So, Common Core finally came around into Southern California two years ago back in September. I remember their advertising campaign: "With the worn down students, remembering the loads of criteria on the math agenda, we decided to fix one thing. We'll only put standards that are commonly used in day to day life."

Now I've seen the books I don't really like that. Well what did they change? Many things:
1. More word problems/problem solving
2. More explaining of how a problem was done
3. Loads more "visual representations"/ "conceptually understandings" as some call it.
4. Repeats, as in multiple skills in different books (Do you need to do "Basic Multiplication of Fractions" in Fifth Grade and "Multiplying Fractions" in Fourth) , and that's just the chapters. Some lessons teach almost the same thing, like once, they gave you one model in a lesson, and a different model in another lesson.

1. I'm okay with this
2. I HATE this
3. Is that commonly used in daily life. HYPOCRITES! (well fine they did get rid of telling time on an analog clock and counting money)
4. I don't like to do things over and over, you have a test, a homework sheet, and a million reviews, you don't need another lesson or even chapter to give you some more practice.

*All this was done without a single interruption of doing something else.

    Whatever, forget the title. That is all I'll say about the title today.

Now I have to do a thing in school known as the T.A.S fair. I like it, but I've to go into the millions of problems encountered of using a programming language.  First, I have to write, download something, test it, and then do a million other of confusing things, I hope this will be worth it, if not then, well, I'll get so mad!! Anyway, I might win, there are only eight projects and two will win, maybe I can, I never win these fair type things, but in this category maybe I can!

Omit the title, that is what I always do, by the way, it is funny how blogger works. If you don't give your post a title the content of the post is the title. So right now, you might be thinking, "ah Omit the title, what a nice title", so funny right. Oh wait, I could be wrong, oh well, I'm just saying, I like to Omit titles and put them in later, just for fun I won't put it in now, so earlier readers can still find the first part funny, if I'm right of course. Then again it might say "[untitled post]", anyway, for now I'm just going to tell you that the title would be... actually, I don't know.

Time

Time passes really slow, really really slow, especially when you aren't having fun or , wait ... I think that is a myth. Oh whatever, let me explain.

Yeah it is partly true, especially if you want something to be over, then time passes even slower. However, the exact circumstances of how time is involved in your situation is important. If, you are waiting for the bell to ring in five minutes it can be pretty slow, but not at the maximum amount of slowness. If you are already waiting for the bell to ring in 30 minutes or above, you will feel the need to do something and the next 25 or so minutes can be pretty fast. When you don't have time to bail you out, things can be much, much faster. Like when doing homework. When you are doing something that you can't get out of early, like music practice, you feel it drags on even more if you look at a digital clock and think "IT HAS BEEN 5 SECONDS, how come that DUMBO clock hasn't changed yet." Anyway if you wan't things to feel quicker, then if it is an assignment, that if you finish early you can do fun stuff, finish it! If you just have to stay longer than, you're in trouble, do your best.

Musical education

One thing I stress a lot about is music. Sometimes I ignore the fact that I need to practice, other times I don't take practice seriously.  I don't like practicing, I want to do a million other things. With the piano I mainly: on bad weeks: play to get a reward, play to prevent being shouted at, or procrastinate until my mom doesn't care if I play or not. On good weeks: I play for an "longer" period  of time, else I also just play for reward(I don't miss a single day of practice on these weeks, well no, only one or two, wait or three). With the flute it is way worse. On good weeks I "practice" (which is really just halfheartedly playing while thinking about something else) three times a week. Other times, I don't play at all.

So, as you can see I don't care about music as much as regular homework. I'm lazy, but I want to get a good grade. It is hard, I hope I can do it. I have a quick comment "I don't think music is important" oh well, practice anyway.

Back to the routine

Today, well yesterday, my dad said that today we would go "back to the routine" meaning Winter Break is over and the regular routine is back. Today I'm going to mention my bumpy road back to the regular routine. Well, it started actually way earlier than that, last week in fact. Those days, I felt like nothing was happening and I wasn't being really productive or anything. On Monday, I wasn't too worried thinking I still had, the whole week and the weekend which is a surprisingly long time. On Tuesday, I still was pretty happy. On Wednesday however, the trouble finally started. I was starting to think it was Tuesday, but knew it was Wednesday. On Thursday, I couldn't believe how fast the week had passed. I spent the whole day at Barnes&Nobles for a change. I was happy until I realized the next day was FRIDAY. I was even more upset when my mom made plans for a last minute vacation that totally took up all my Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, I was finally over SLAMMED, I had this one assignment. I decided to take the day at Barnes&Nobles, but I knew I had to do the assignment so at 4 o'clock (I actually said 3, but I got an extra hour ;D) I started reading a new series, I was so hooked up, but I had to go home, the rest of the day made me feel really productive, doing all that. So, when I said my goodbyes to the break, I realized I had a good break.

Now, today, as I'm writing this, I'm happy to say that I had a great break.
