Hurt!

Today I got hurt, not outside but inside. When we went to play football at church I was practicing playing football but others weren't. When Charles's dad told them to play and I won easily. After that they called me bad words as in "suck". Victor is scared of losing so he said I can't catch it because you throw bad. I did not tell Charles's dad because I was afraid. But I knew that Charles's dad knew it when I said I did not want to play. Mom told me that you don't have to be afraid. It hurt a lot and I cried a lot on the car.

Cleanathon

Yesterday I cleaned the inside of our car, not the outside because it has bee raining a lot so it polished our car. I found out that the front was more messier than the back. But it was a hard job removing all the stuff and vacuming the car. I even cleaned the back of the car. I did not use any water. I felt tired but happy and I had a grand time!

Concentration

Today was a regular day except for one small thing. When I was doing my work I heard Ms.Frye saying something about me to my best friend Jason. Ms.Frye said to Jason that the only different thing about Jason and I is that I am 100% concentrated when it is time to concentrate and Jason plays around. One thing that is alike about Jason and I is that we both like pulling jokes on Ms.Frye.

King Tut Exhibit

Today I went to the De Young Museum to see the exhibit about "King Tut." Some interesting facts about him is that he became king and ascended to the throne when he was nine! Also he died at the age of 19 and it is still a mystery how he died. I saw some of his weapons and I saw his coffin too! Alot of the materials were made of gold. His parents were Kiya{mother}Akhenaten{father}.

Today I did a fraction project at school. Near the end I did took a long long time cutting them into equal parts. I sm noy very good a cutting so I was slow. Everyone was done and then Ms.Frye said"I am going to say something I never imagined I would say. Let's wait patiently for Hender." She said that because I was never behind and did the most extra credits.

Wrong

I did a really wrong decition. First of all the most importantly I did not be honest to my mom. I regret I did this. I played at the wrong time and did not ask. I played my GBA and computer. The most I regret about is my honesty. I know it is wrong.I also told Henry not to tell mom. The punishment is no playing them for two months. I will do my best to do things right! I know I am wrong but I can change it. I will! Mom will observe me.

Tournament!

Today again I had a tournament I did not expect{look at my "Test and Tournament" blog}. When I was in the mechanics institute Anthony called me in for a tournament. I did not have to pay money and Anthony only needed one more player so he chose me. I had a draw on my second game and lost on my first. When it was the third round it was time to go to musicianship class so I decided to go to musicicanship class because it needs money but chess does not.

Kickamarathon!

Today I played kickball with my favorite teacher{Mr.Francis}. It was second vs third and most of the players are boys not girls. Mr.Francis always go hard on me because I am the best kicker in third grade and I also run very fast so I made a homerun. A homerun is when you touch 4 bases and come back to the place you kicked. I also caught a ball in mid air! Third graders won 6-11. It was a tight game!

My series of mistakes I would stop doing

Today in the morning mom said she could not stand being by herself looking after two kids. Then I talked back to her because I do not really like what she said. Mom got mad when I talked back to her.

Avatar

Today I went to the theater and watch a movie called Avatar. I went there today since Henry is going to his friends house and we had four free passes. The movie was about a science project that turned into a disaster. First the science project is making a clone of your self but having a little DNA of the native people in the clones which make them almost 10 times stronger. You power your clone when you go in a machine that makes your brain control your clone{you are stil in the machine}. If you get out your clone faints but will recover once you go in again. There was this man that got lost in the forest in his avatar form and discovered the natives which he started living with. The second to command started to turn back on the nature so he destroyed
1\3 of the forest and the natives. The man whose name is Jake helped the natives and destroyed the army with the animals that lived there. This is just part of the story and I have not told many of the details. I felt pretty sad when the trusted people died and when the hometree was dynamited. I think the movie shows great care and great bravery which we need to face everyday. It is to me like a teaching from god. It was a grand movie.

Chess Tournament

Today I went to a chess tournament in San Mateo,California in a hotel called Marriot. We got the whole second floor for ourselves. There was 9 games that were divided into groups. 4 of them were for the 800 rated people and the last 5 were for lower people including me who is in the 600s. I lost to a guy in the first round because I haven't did a tournament for years. The next 4 rounds I won because I felt more confident except the last facing a opponent who started chess at 3 years old. If you at least got 3 wins you might get a trophy and I got one but is the smallest trophy of all. When I was done playing one round I went to eat in the dining room which is in the second floor or go to play in the children's room. At lunch I ate hot dogs at the cafe which were really good. I felt really grateful because I had a chance to show my abilities and I did not really care if I lost. Also I felt really upset when my second opponet cheated when I was about to eat his queen and he put my pieces back starting from the previous move. I told him it is cheating and he was scared he would get in trouble so he put them back. It was quite a day

BMX Bike Show

Today I saw a bike riding stunt show and they performed for us because we raised enough money. I was really cool with tricks like jumping over 7 people at a time riding on a bike. The teachers that volenteered to lay on the ground and waited for the bike to pass over them were Ms. Shere, Mr.Francis, Mr. Robert, the music teacher, Mr.Dell, the music control guy for this show, and another bike rider. They also did a back filp in the air and brought their body up of the bike only holding on with their hands. They rode on one wheel and with both hands of their bike. They told us that their bikes costed 2,000$! The dangerous one was when they did kung fu on their bikes. One of the guys won two gold medals last year. It was super fun at the show!

De Young

Today I learned about king Tut. The De Young museum ambassadors came and talked to us. They told how mummification is done and I would like to share it. First, you take the brain out with a long wire up the nose. Second, you cut a small hole in the waist and you take out the organs except the heart. Third, you finally get to wrap it up with fine bandages and tissues. Forth, you put it in a golden case and put small artifacts with it. Last, you put on a death mask on it and you bury it. It is quite intresting I would say, don't you?

Lost Cellphone

Today I took the bus N-Judah to chess class. When we got of the N-Judah bus because we had to switch from N-Judah bus to N-Judah train. During that rush grandpa accidentally droped his cellphone and did not notice. After, grandpa noticed his cellphone was missing. Later my mom call twice to us and the bus driver answered it. He delivered it to us and also my mom called my chess teacher. Out of the sudject, today I still did not get my mid-year term test score in musician class.

Making Dragons

Today I made puppet dragons out of paper instead of cloth and I want to share how to do it. First, I got two pieces of paper and I folded the paper the hamburger way. Second, I drew half a dragon's head and I cutted it out. Third, I cutted out the pop out nose and I cutted out the pop out eyes. Next, I glued two piece of paper together {one red, one yellow} for the body. Last, we got to decorated it. THAT IS HOW YOU MAKE A PUPPET DRAGON!

chess

Today I did the online chess and from 36% I got to 52%. I got this much because I found a new topic which is speed training. I got all of the things correctly so I got boosted ahead. I got 16% today, yesterday I did 12%, and the day before yesterday I got 10%. Look at my progress online. Also I want to know my rating because it is almost for a tournament. Today nothing too interesting happened today.

multiplication!

Yesterday I did a competition in class. It was about multiplication and there was two teams. My teacher splited us into groups, we were divided into teams by file number. The first group was from 1-10 and the second was 11-20. My file number was 11 and I was in group 2. My mom told me to memorize the multiplication facts from 2-9 in 1 and a half min. I got really good so I kept beating my opponent when my teacher held up a card. IT WAS FUN!

my jacket

Today my mom went to my school to pick me up and to find my jacket I lost. I said it was not in the classroom and not in the lost and found because I looked in the lost and found this morning. Mom said she wanted to look in my classroom and she found it at the very bottom of the jacket basket. I did not find it because at school time the basket was overwhelmed and after school there are only 2 I guess. In the beginning I kept telling my mom that there was none and I was wrong. I apologized but too roughly so mom got angry. Also mom said I need to be more responsible. That's it.
