Today’s my Dad’s birthday! I’m still in Florida, so we’re definitely going in the pool. We’re staying at my Grandparent’s house, and they have a pool, so we’ll probably be there all day. But I also know I’m going to see my Uncle, because he lives pretty close to where we are, and we haven’t seen him since we got here. I hope my Dad had a happy birthday! Sorry this one was short.

Why does keyboarding have to be so hard? I remember on the first day of keyboarding, I was terrible at typing, but there was a method to my madness. I basically memorized the keyboard, and was able to peck my way around it. But apparently that wasn’t going to work for Mrs.Maxvill. Who knew I actually had to learn how to type? I didn’t. I thought that there would be so many kids in the class, that I’d be able to slide under the radar. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. I was lucky enough to be sitting right in front. Right by Mrs.Maxvill. She could easily see my screen, and how I was typing. Which wasn’t good. Guess what happened within the first five minutes? “Young lady would you PLEASE, type the correct way?!” Wow. It had only been five minutes. I had it all planned out about how I was going to avoid to being noticed by Mrs.Maxvill for half the year, but yet somehow my entire plan got ruined within the first five minutes of class. I instantly knew that keyboarding would not be the walk in the oark I imagined it to be.

Is anyone else afraid of flying? I hate flying, because 1, if someone’s sick, and they cough, that air comes back to you. 2, before the flight starts, they load you with all this information, and about if the plane were to crash, and it scares the life out of me when they talk about all the worst case scenarios that could happen. 3,  when the plane finally lands, you have to wait for everybody in front of you to get off, when really, I’ve been sitting in the smelly plane, listening to my siblings complain, while my ears feel like they’re about to pop off they hurt so much. So please, why can’t kids get off first? I’ve already been sitting in the plane for several hours, and I’d love to get off the plane, just as much as you do. And finally, 4, I am afraid of heights. Planes go extremely high into the air, and the last thing I need is to look out the window, to see the town SO far below me. That’s why I hate flying, do you?

On Thursday, I went to get gum with my green tickets, but note, this was just after third block ended. But since I’d never gotten anything from the store before, I didn’t know that you had to go before lunch. So, of course, I walked in there like an idiot, with my tickets in hand, and said, “do you still have any gum?” Mrs.Nathan just looked at me with this  dumbfound expression, and just said “no, you have to come before lunch on Thursday.” I had no clue that was even a rule, since I’d never gone in there before. But since I never have gum, I always ask my friends for gum, and I really annoy them, so I was trying to do them a favor, but never mind, because apparently, I have to go before lunch. Since when is that even a rule?

Have you guys ever felt the anxiety of pressing the submit button on math tests, or any test in general? But I especially got really nervous when I’m about to be done with my test, and have to press the submit button. Why do they even have to show your grade when you finish a test? It’s really helpful if you get a good grade, and so that you don’t have all the suspense build up when you’re waiting for your grade, but if you get a bad grade when you finish, it feels terrible. Why can’t you just give the computer to the teacher right when you’re about to press the submit button, and they’ll press it for you, and if you get a good grade, they show it to you, so you feel better about yourself, but if you get a bad grade, they don’t show it to you, so you don’t feel terrible about getting a bad grade, but you don’t know how bad of a grade you got, so you don’t feel that bad. That would be a much better system then the one now, where they automatically show you the grade after the test, and if you get a bad grade, you get hit with a tsunami of sadness, right away.

It’s only eight days into the SOL  challenge, and I’m already out of ideas. What is there to write about? Nothing exciting has happened to me lately. What can I write about?! I’m bored. I want to go outside, but I can’t. Because I have to write this, and write my keyboarding essay, and study for my math test, which is tomorrow. In case I haven’t said so yet, I’m bored.

Do any of you guys play Clash Royale? If not, you should, because it’s better than anything and everything on the face of the Earth. I’m in arena seven in Clash Royale, and I’m a level eight. But I still don’t have any legendaries! How do I still not have any legendaries in arena seven?! My brother has a legendary, and he’s in arena four! When he got it I was sitting next to him, and I was like, “really Supercell!” (Supercell made the game). Does Supercell just hate me or something?

I’ve been in Seven Springs all weekend, and today I skied for 6 hours. I went to a camp, and I was the only one in my group, because I was the only beginner. They taught me the basics, and 3 hours later, I had lunch. After half an hour, I was back outside to ski for another 3 hours. I went on the lift, and fell the first time, but thankfully didn’t fall the second time I went on it. I skied down a mountain twice, but wasn’t great both times. And I have a new find respect for skiers, because they make it look so easy! It’s so hard for me, and the ski boots made my feet feel so stiff. But once I took off the boots, it felt like Heaven. But to be honest, when I would actually be skiing, and not falling, feeling the wind on my face felt amazing. Skiing was so much fun, but I’m sad I have to leave tomorrow.

I’m going to Florida on March 11, and I’m so excited. My grandparents have a house there, but they have to spend 6 of the 12 months in their Florida house, so I haven’t seen them since Christmas. But my birthday’s in April, and they’ll still be in Florida then, so I’ll get all my birthday presents when I’m there too. I’ll only be there for a few days, but I love going to Florida.

Tomorrow my mom and I are going to Seven Springs to ski. I was never very good at skiing, but I still enjoy it. So in the morning I’m taking a ski lesson, and in the afternoon I’m skiing with my mom. At Seven Springs there’s an arcade, and a bowling alley. I’m the best at bowling I love it. I really hope there’s actual snow there. Unlike all the flurries we’ve had here. And what’s skiing without real snow?
