April 22nd

Today was my schools Olympics! This event was given to all students who attended all days of IAR Testing. I was exited because I was going to be competing in an event! I was so excited for it. So once all 6th graders went into the gym we all received a ticket, for a surprise at the end. The first event was musical chairs, there were a lot of students but only 4 or 6 teachers. We still lost at the end though. The next event was a matching cup game, teacher vs student and teachers won again. 2-0. Then there was a knockout game/half court shot challenge, we won the half court shot challenge but not knockout. (Cause this one kid was even trying and lost on purpose. We then did this shaking these little beads out of cups with your head and hand. We won that easily because this generation seems to do good in skating their head. Then we had to shake all these balls out of this box, the teachers won that one easily. 4-2. Then there was this matching cups game teacher vs student, the teachers won again. So now since there was only one “event” left and all hope was lost, we students declared our defeat. But I found out that my teacher had picked me to do the pie in the face. I was so exited, but not only that but I was picked to silly string my principals! I was so pumped for it, but I found out later someone else got to do both. So as soon as I get the pie and silly string from a teacher another teacher comes up to me saying I can’t do both. I got really upset but I decided to do the silly string. But what got me angry and upset was that the other student who was chosen for both got to do both! I was so frustrated, like how are you going to say yes to that student but not me. Like I don’t even know you that much but you’re not going to let me do it? Well, at least I still had fun I guess.

I hoped you all enjoyed today’s blog, and if you get the chance try out they Olympics.

Today I went to go eat at Benihana for the first time. So my dad who was the birthday boy decided we should go eat there, just to try new things. And at first glanced I loved the place, (Only OG’s of this blog would get it) it was so fancy. I loved how the food smelled and tasted, but the best part was that the chefs cooked in front of you. So after like two minutes my family and I got seats. We sat down, my siblings and I wore these funny chefs hat, and we took our orders. But we had to sit with two other people that I had no clue who they were. I later found out that if your family/friends don’t fill a whole table, then anyone who’s waiting for a table will join you. So it was a mom and a daughter. The mom was probably the most annoying person I have ever met. When the chef was taking orders, cooking, passing out food, even doing his tricks should would be complaining. I mean don’t get me wrong she knew what she wanted to eat, how much she wanted to eat, and what she wanted, but she kept making such a big deal out of it. Then her daughter who was really tall (I thought she was 22) was a 10 year old. I don’t know but 10 year olds can be that tall. But the worst part was the ordering, the chef had great skills but nothing could make me feel better. Some of you may know that I love sushi, and there was this order called “Sushi Sampler” it had sushi, salmon sushi, shrimp sushi, fish sushi, and lobster sushi. It was perfect but when it came to ordering, the waiter said the sushi stand was closed. I Was Devastated! I couldn’t believe such a perfect order wouldn’t be available. I mean at least my shrimp meal was ok. But I still had a good time. We even got free ice cream at the end.


I hoped you enjoyed today’s blog, and if you have the chance go to Benihana.

Today I watched the movie Us. But it was very unexpected. So after school I walked home and as soon as I get inside, I see McDonalds in my living room, the movie Us on the tv, and my siblings and dad sitting down waiting for me. It was kinda dark because my dad had put curtains over all of our windows. I’m guessing he did that to make the scenery more scarier we have school tomorrow and can’t stay up too late. Ok everyone listen up! There are going to be some spoilers in this blog, not everything about the movie but a little. And since this is my first movie review blog, I’m going to be a little trash at this. So if you don’t want to be spoiled, CONTINUE READING AT YOUR OWN RISK! Ok now since that’s done let’s continue. So at the beginning we see a little bit about the moms backstory, we then meet the main characters. I already forgot their names so I’m just going to call them the family. So the movie at first is all happy and enjoyable but then turns to horror real quick. They meet their doubles, get terrified and try to fight back, that other family gets killed, and the family is ready to fight themselves. And all while this is happening, we get to learn more and more about the mom and her double. So I’m not gonna say the ending because most people who have watched it know it, but I will say the plot twist................. The mom’s double is actually the real mom! So when we see the real little girl go into that mirrors place we see that she gets knocked out by her double. The double then takes her to this underground place where all the doubles are kept at. (I think) The double ties up the real little girl and leaves her there to live her life. That’s why in her flashbacks she always acts weird as if she was the double. That’s why the “double mom” could talk! So all this time we were rooting for the wrong person, cause the real mom wanted to get here family back, and with the help of her family’s doubles, but unfortunately they didn’t succeed. But at least the siblings might know about this secret! So I’d rate this movie a 9/10, it was confusing at first but then the plot twist may be give it a better rating.

I hope you enjoyed today’s blog. And tell me what you think of my first movie review blog.

Today I had another softball scrimmage but with younger girls. It was an ok scrimmage, the only thing about was that we had to show them mercy. But I mean when we went against the 13-14 year olds did they show us mercy!? No, they obliterated us even though we hadn’t have our first official practice. But getting back to the scrimmage the coaches decided for the younger girls to all bat. We had our 5th pitcher pitch for us, and my coaches would have me and our our catcher catch. At least that what I thought they said, cause as soon as the younger girls are done batting I go up to my coaches telling them I never catcher. They said they were “sorry” and they “forgot” but I didn’t want to hear it. Instead they made me catch for the younger girls since they didn’t have their catcher equipment. But you know how hard it is to be moving around everywhere with all that gear on, because each pitcher they had were throwing the ball all over the place. Like there was not a single spot in the back spot that I didn’t grab the ball from. But after the game I was able to kid with the team a little and even lead off their chant! Omg I am so gonna be their favorite on the team.

Hello there, I hoped you enjoyed today’s blog. And oh am is o close to catching up!

 I had a 5-Game basketball tournament for the weekend. I was playing for my travel team and we were playing in this arena that was really cool. They had 2 normal sized courts, 5 huge soccer fields, a humongous obstacle course, a arcade, a snack shop, and a mini restaurant in there! I don’t know why, but this place was more like those big hotels you go to that have everything. So for our two games on Saturday we played against a green and black team, we won 28-12, I did really good in my first game back. Then in our second game we won 22-9, I did okay since it was like a 2 hour break but I still got a couple of assists to my teammates. After our games when my dad and I were going home we passes this restaurant called Benihana which is a place where the chefs cook in front of you.(But that’s for another blog) So the next day (Sunday) we had three games instead of two because the last game was suppose to be the playoffs. We won our first two games but they were pretty hard. There were very low scoring games but my team was still able to pull it off. But the last game was by far the best for me because I had an.......... ANKLE BREAKER!!! I grabbed a rebound but this one girl was pressing, so I faked a cross to the left and crossed to the right and the defender felt for it so bad she literally fell on the ground! Oh yeah I’m so awesome, and then I had a big chase down block so the other team couldn’t score. But lastly after the game actually, I found out that the last 20 points my team had we either me scoring or assisting. I really could believe it, but we won 41-37.

I hoped you enjoyed my blog for today. I also hope that whoever is reading this doesn’t think that I lied.

Today I was going to the rec with my family to meet my younger brother’s coaches for T-ball. It was a cold night and I really didn’t want to go. But it seems this was the only time to meet the coaches before this big parade. So I still went and it was actually pretty fun, but what wasn’t so fun was the team he was on. He was on the CUBS! AND MY WHOLE FAMILY HATES THE CUBS! I was so upset, but there wasn’t even a White Sox team. What the heck! Is like the manager of the league a Cubs fans? I was so angry, but at least a couple of my friends from school were there. We talked a little (mainly about life) and we also talked about if our younger brother/sister was playing. But the best part was when this guy was announcing some stuff but I was just playing games on my phone. So I was sitting on the floor cause the bleachers were all filled. Then after like 3 straight minutes of playing on my phone, 4-5 little kids start to circle around me. They didn’t even make any noise, they just sat there watching me. (Or my screen whichever was more interesting) I don’t know why but I felt so cool! Sure I could here some adults laughing behind us (one even took a picture) but I still felt proud.

I hoped you enjoyed today’s blog, and I also hope if whoever is reading this blog is a Sox fan.

Now to make up for my mistake, today’s blog will be about softball. So my coaches decided to have an hour long meet and greet for the players and parents. We talked about the schedules which were passed out, we then decided on our team name and uniforms. So before I get into that let me give you some background information. 3 years ago I decided to try out softball. Because I had already done basketball, baseball, swimming, and both tackle and flag football. So my parents wanted me to try a new sport, and softball was the first option. I decided to join the 10-11 year olds girls Berwyn Lighting. The team was pretty decent, we had 3-4 good pitchers, a lot of great hitters, and a couple of good fielders. So all in all, we combined our best players and Berwyn’s Blazers best players and our team name was the Berwyn Diamonds. Our team colors was blue and red, and with no travel girls our experienced girls, we won the District Championship. We then went to state and lost our first two games and got eliminated. But we were still happy about ourselves since we did a great job with a bunch of young and inexperienced girls. So back to today, a lot of girls were talking about changing the name and getting a new color uniform. After so much confusion going on in my head, I finally found out our team would now be called Berwyn Lazers (yes with a Z) and our teams colors were silver and white. I really couldn’t believe, it’s like everyone forgot about the Diamonds, because we made history with that team. Even to this day, I still can’t believe we will no longer be the Diamonds.

Hello everyone, I hoped you enjoyed my blog for today. You can kinda tell I was a little upset when writing this blog, but now I feel better. I can’t even wait to catch up on the challenge.
