Well, one night I was on a redeye to Mexico and had nothing to do. I asked my mom if I could watch TV on the plane and she said yes. The problem was, that their was absolute crap on the TV called  Jessie or something like that. So, I tried to learn all of the capitols in the USA. I failed but at lest it was fun trying to learn them all.

Slice of life #5

So, we had just got to the store and helen had already picked out two things the my mom let her get! I had asked my mom if i could get something too and she said no. I was so mad! I said why dose Helen get to pick something out from the store and I don't? She answered "too bad life is not fair!". I made a packed to never go to the store with my mom. Then the next week we were driving home from school when she stopped at the grocery store and let me pick out something and did not let helen get any thing. then I was happy.

Thanksgiving SOL

Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the whole year! Every thanksgiving I go to my Ant and uncles house. In the morning, we all watch the Macy's thanksgiving day parade. When that is over we all watch the thanksgiving day dog show. After that we go to little Cheaseman park to play our families annual thanksgiving day football game "not soccer". This is my favorite  part of the whole day. Next my family all ways watches a movie. When the movie is done, we go home to change into nice cloths for thanksgiving dinner. By the time we get all changed and go back to my ant and uncles house and are ready to start dinner, it is 7:30. we normally finish dinner and dessert my 9:40 and then talk to about 11:00 than we go home and thanksgiving is over.

The Martian
Week Two
by Andy Weir


Mark has almost all of Earth hoping for his return from Mars. NASA has come up with a lot of ideas on how to bring Mark back alive. All of them are risky and dangerous and to say the least, expensive. Will Mark make it out of Mars alive? Or nah.

This book is my new favorite book. I really liked this book because of all of the science in the book. The one downside is that this book had a lot of bad words in it. This book took me a long time to read, but it was worth it. The Martian is also kind of an adult book.

Their was three seconds left on the clock. I was playing in a snowy championship game in a soccer tournament in pueblo. I was so cold, I could hardly breath without coughing. It was 5 degrees and we were still playing  anyway back to the slice. Their was three seconds left and their was a foul just outside of the box. My team was winning by 1 goal and the other team was taking the shot. I was in the goal. It was the longest three seconds of my life. I other guy slide back on the snow and the shot hit the cross bar. We had won!

Slice of dream #2

My best dream ever was when in my dream I hit a buzzer beater to win the game. We were losing by 2 points when I got subbed in at center. My coach told me just to get the rebound a hopefully if their was time left on clock to have a quick shot. Their was something like 2 seconds left on the clock. We got the pass into a player who took a shot and missed. I got the shot off right as the Buzzer sounded. The shot went in a got fouled. Of course I made the free throw to win the game. The people in the building went crazy and the play made sports center top ten. Then I woke up and realized that it was just a dream.

Me and my sister waited a long and suspenseful ride home to our house. When we walked in side we saw a food bowl and a litter box. " Why do we have a food bowl and a litter box in the middle of our house?" "Surprise we got an new kitten!!!" "Where is he?" "Remember when I said you had to find something?"
