This Delimma is about a girl named Mary she is a eighth grader that’s is popular and pretty at school. Lately she found notes in her bags, lockers. The notes, were not just notes, they were bad notes. One note said “You better watch out because we’re watching you” Mary doesn’t know why she’s getting these notes. Maybe because she was accepting party invitations from sophomore boys in the High School. Maybe the notes were from High School Girls. Now she gets notes every week. She feels, angry, scared, and hurt. She shows the notes to her 2 friends one say ignore it and the other said to show that to the teacher. Mary doesn’t want to do what her friends adviced to her…

Today at computer class we made a new category named Research. We found new webs, which are clusty and gahooyoogle. Clusty is a site that clust a whole information into organized categories. GahooYoogle is a combination of google and yahoo together. There are other search engines like google and yahoo. We put in guam for experiment, google had like about 300000 sites about it, but clusty had only 22 sites. In gahooyoogle there was google on the right side and yahoo on the left side. (It takes a little time to see all of this because I think Clusty will be a better search engine because it organizes things in to smaller groups. We added those search engine into our new link category Research…

On Friday in computer class we watched a DVD, called Animusic. Animusic is a animation of a instrument in action with some more details mix with it by the maker. There were 8 video clips, starship groove, pogo sticks, resonant chamber, cathedra picture, pipe dream, fiber bundles, gyo drums, heavy light. The one i liked the best was pipe dream. A ball came out of a pipe thing and when it fell down there was a drum and it made sounds. There were bands, and things that makes wonderful sounds. The second clip I like is resonant chamber the insruments they use are strings. Instead of hands they use robotic hands to play the instruments. The DVD was very interesting.

  Yesturday in class we did a personality test. There were about 110 questions and we needed to put numbers through 1-9, 1 is the lowest and 9 is the highest. I put alot of 5’s and 6’s. We printed out the scores. My first score was 42 I agree with that because I don’t ike loud noises that much. I like to eat alone, or with some friends. This score was about extraversion. The next score is about Agreeableness I got 60 on that. I agree with this result. When I was little I opened my house door to let a stranger in to use the phone. I got in trouble with that. It was a relief that the stranger was the new next door neighbor. The score I got for conscientioness was the same as the score before. I agree with this answer too I spend more time to sleep. But I don’t score good scores for test that much. I attend school all the time except for times when I’m sick or something. For the next test I got 64 for Neuroticism. I’m sensitive I guess. I like to excercise when I want to….The next score I don’t agree 62 I don’t play any insruments and I don’t get good grades that much….hahaha. But I agree with imaginative because I like immaginary something.                         

*Should students be allowed to bring cellphones to school?*

Yes, i bought my cellphone about 1 years ago. Then when I’m 7th grade the teachers said that I can’t bring my cellphone anymore. If we can’t bring cellphones there’s no use of cellphones then. If we brought cellphones there won’t be an waiting in line for using the tellephone outside the office or in the snackshack. Some disadvantage of the cellphones are maybe it’s going to be stolen or there would be cellphones ringing in class and distrupting the class. Advantages are that you could call your parents when you have a project. If you forget something important you could call your house. Then in class everyone could do their classwork or projects instead of some people not doing work. If they’re are sick or doesn’t feel good they could call and make parents come to school to bring him or her to home. Instead of going down to the office and getting really tired and your sickness spreading. If there’s going to be a rule about cellphones they should put don’t use your cellphones at class time, but you could use them after class.

We had English, History,P.E., Handbells, Science,Math, computer, and Study Skills.
In English we reviewed how to make a plot diagram of the story Rikki Tikki Tavi. Rikki Tikki Tavi is about a mongoose drifted by a river to Teddy’s House. There’s a snake and a cobra living there outside. Nag, and Nagaina is the cobra’s name. They plan to bite Teddy. It’s up to Rikkki Tikkki Tavi to protect Teddy!! In History we got into our groups and discussed about which part we are doing and for homework, finding out who the leader is. P.E. was tiring we ran about 15 laps. I think I only ran or jogged about only 10 laps. Then we played longball. Longball is a fun game. You hit a yellow ball and if it goes in front of you run until you get to the bleechers. If someone catches the ball your out. Only 3 people can stay at the bleechers. When there’s a time when 3 people could go the first one hitting the ball should go first. Handbells we practiced Chopsticks. The teacher was counting really fast my elbow hurts. I made a lot of mistakes. Then we did Menuet. That was slow and nice. Then the other subjects were the same, … normal. Today was a really boring day. I don’t want to go to Japanese School for math. I already learned that in math at St. John’s …

My Summer Break was fun!! I slept alot and ate alot!! My friend form japan came to Guam!! Her name is Aya! We went to the beach and played alot! My other friend came too. Her name is Minami. She gave me gifts and things. We talked alot! I even baked cookies and cake!! Like Banana cake it was really good!! It was really easy to make. A bake cookies by pancake flour!! The inside was soft and the outside was kind of hard! I got my Tsubasa Chronicles DS game too!! I played alot with it!!

This is the Tsubasa Chronicles DS game!! \(’^')/

It’s so funnn!!
The tsubasa chornicles DS game is about the story. But there’s a jan kem po game. If you win the jan kem po game you get to attack the enemy!! Mhahaha. For jankem po you use a card. If the card has special powers it well let you attack the enemies more harder!! Hahahaha. The jankem po ing part is kind of hard but sometimes easy. You first pick a person. Syaoran, Fai or, Kurogane! In the 2nd Tsubasa Chronicles game we could make cake and things like that!! It’s really fun! The funny thing is about that Sakura saids, “I going to do the best I can!” but Mokona does all the making! LoL.

I bought another xxxholic!! It’s about Watanuki losing his eye!! xxxholic 7 starts off in Watanuki Kimihiro’s dream. He meets Himawari (the girl he likes) but Watanuki only sees half of her. Then he wakes up and Black Mokona was covering his right eye. He scolds mokona on doing that. Now he’s really happy to have a dream that himarichan was in. Yuko said, “Terrible things are going to happen today.” and watanuki went to go to school. He was walking and found a temple. Then Doumeki was there. “your just in time! Help out!” Watanuki got angry and flung his hand up! Then some how a spider web just appeared and Watanuki got caught in it. - Doumeki grabed his broom and freed Watanuki from the web. The web was destroyed- Then the both of them went to school. Lunch Doumeki, Watanuki, and Himawari ate lunch. -Then Doumeki rubed his eye- After school suddenly when Watanuki and Doumeki were walking Doumeki holding his eye that he was rubbing sat down to his legs. “I can’t open my eye…” said Doumeki “Why not?” said Watanuki ” Let’s take you to the hospital” but Doumeki answered, ” I don’t think that this is something the hospital can cure. ” Doumeki showed his eye to Watanuki a spider web was on his right eye. “Let’s take you to Yuko’s store!!” “I, I can’t” said Doumeki and went ot his house. Watanuki ran to Yuko’s store! And told about the incident! Yuko lefted her hand to Watanuki and caught a spider’s web. Then Yuko said, “There’s a grudge held against him.”

There’s more to the story but I will make it a secret. If you want to read the rest go buy it or borrow it from someone!

Yay my mom bought me a i-pod!! It’s white and has a little music in it.. Well see you next time!!
