Auditions!

Today I had a read through for a play called crazy town! It's a play at monster box theater and I'm really exited for it! Part of the play I actually did for a forensics piece about a year and a half ago. It's a comedy and it's absolutely hilarious! I really enjoyed the read through and I like the directors and the cast! I'm very excited to do this play.

Snow in may??

Today was horrible. Absolutely positively horrible. It's may, right? That means it supposed to be warm and sunny. Well, it snowed. Not a lot, but still. Snow. In. May. I was helping weed our garden, and little baby snowflakes fell on my head. It was absolutely terrible. Please, I hope it never snows again till November. I really like warm summers. Not snowy ones.

Poems!

So... I've recently grown to love writing poetry!! I find it were fun and enjoyable!! So I'm going to write a poems! It won't be my best because I'm still learning, but practice makes perfect!

Opening a page is an adventure
Bringing life on to its reader
Creating pictures
Reading is ones own dream
Painted stories
Brushes moving to create a book
Reading is creating life
Different for each
But all the same
Reading moves
And reading changes
We read, we live

i'm gonna start a new short story (burn baby)

burn baby part one

does something ever happen to you when you feel as if everything else is normal except for you? well that's what my life is. no, it's not like that cheesy stuff your first grade teacher always said about how "everyone is different in their own special way". no im actually different. i can make things burn just by touching them. heat won;t effect me. i could touch lava and not feel a thing. see, i told you, i'm different. no one knows thank god. i'd way rather be known as sammie the smart, not sammie the sorceress.i could die if people found out about this, so you better be able to keep a secret. i don't know if there's anyone else like me, or if i'm all alone, but, as of right now it's just me. 

part 2 to be continued...

limericks

so for class, we had to learn about poetry. i know BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING. that's what i thought originally too. but then i realized that some styles of poetry are fun! limericks were my personal favorite. so here is mine.

there once was a man named fred
and he ate alot of bread
he fell on a wall
and had a great fall
and now he's lying in bed

blog glitches

i am so sorry that my blog has not been active, ive been haveing serious glitches that make me unable to post. i figured out the problem, and now i can post more frequently. i am so sorry for this! today i am going to post 3 times because i really need to make up for all i've missed. i am so sorry, (even though not many people read my blog) and i hope you can enjoy it still

the root?

yesterday was Easter, and that means fancy clothes and fancy food. ugh. this year, for dinner, we went to a place called the root (link to website.). weird name right? it wasn't neccisarily fancy, but i had absolutley no clue what a single thing on the menu was. i'm not usually picky, but in special cases, exactly like this, i was. we went with my cousins, my aunt and uncle, and my other uncle.  suprisingly i actually had fun, even though this post makes it sound like i had an absolutley miserable time, which is totally not true!

It all started so simple
She sat on the bus like any normal day
The driver told her give up her seat
For the white man
They thought she was just tired
But she was just tired of being treated like a second class citizen

She said no
I will stay here because I can
She said no i should have the right to sit here
I'm gonna stay no matter what you say
I can sit here all day

They all got up
And didn't get up on the bus
For over a year they ditched it
Until they got fair rights on,the bus
They ditched it until freedom freedom was for all of us

They said no
We will stay here because can
They said no
We should have the right to sit here
We're gonna stay here no matter what you say
We can sit here all day

In the end they they stood up for freedom
And they marched until they got it
In Selma Washington and all across American
We sat down and stood up for what was right

We said no
We will stay here because we can
We said no
We should have the right to sit here
We're gonna stay here no matter what you say
We can stay here all day

so, for all of those people who donut know what fat tuesday or otherwise known as eat as many packzis and donuts as possible day, its a day for the christan religion where people each enjoyable foods before giving it up for lent. lent is a period of sacrifice in which a person gives up something they enjoy to represent the sacrifice jesus gave in preparation for easter. tommorow some adults fast, or don't eat, but i won't because it's too unhealthy. a very common treat for polish (and non polish) people on fat tuesday is a packzi. a packzi is like a type of donut.

Field trip

Today for science literacy we went to the mall. I know what your thinking. That doesn't sound like I field trip at all. But it was, and it was for the good of the community. My science literacy project is to take used gift cards and turn them into jewelry, then the profits of the jewelry go to a village in Zambia called chilapula. We collected lots of used and outdated gift cards from stores such as Henri bendiel, ivivva, starbucks,hollister, bath and body works and many more. I really enjoyed doing this because it was a field trip and it helps our local and global community.

I made birbery

Yay!! Finally I made the birbery!! I love reading and this was something I really enjoyed doing. I also read other books during the time because I wanted to read multiple things, but I'm still very happy that I made the birbery. The birbery competition is a really great opportunity for middle schoolers. So far I read echo, war that saved my life, roller girl, Stella by starlight, and fish in a tree. Right now I'm reading the boys who challenged hitler,  and I really like it so fae. It's quite short, but still good. I still have a lot more to read, but I think I can.

Rating emojis challenge

I'm going to start rating emojis!! What I mean by that is I'm going to choose an emoji, then rate it by how much I like it and how much I use it. Then I will try to write something about how I like that emoji!!
😘- my first emoji is the kissy heart emoji. Use-9 -like-10 this is one of my favorite emojis of all time. I use it frequently, and I think it's pretty good. I would say it's one of the classics, because it's used kind of a lot. Thais emoji is almost always in my recents because it's my absolute favorite, why, who knows?

Guess what i did on my day off: Baking! (sarcastically gasps)

yes. i baked. just like i always do! today i baked funfetti cupcakes and peanut butter cookies. i decorated the cupcakes with pink frosting and sprinkles, so they look really valentine's day-ish. but, that wasn't necessarily the purpose. i just wanted pink frosting. i also tried a technique i learned from the book fish in a tree. you first take some cake batter, the you cover it in flour until it isn't sticky anymore. the you shape it into whatever shape or letter(s) you want. i put 1 word in1 of my cupcakes, just to see if it would work. i think it did work, but i can't be sure just yet. i'll have to wait and see. i think both treats turned out really good, because the cupcakes look really good ( id didn't let anyone eat them yet) and all the cookies were gone before i even got home from swimming. so, in all i think i had a really successful day of baking!

finished drone draft

should anyone be able to buy drones?

claim:there should be stricter laws on who can buy and operate drones

supporting reasons: people can see and steal private information, and they can harm things flying in the air.

buzzzzzzzz! buzzzzzzzz! buzzzzzzzz! the sound of my neighbor’s drone shoots into my ear. i look up to see the drone flying through the air. i quickly duck, i’m in no mood to get hit by a drone today.  drones are used for everything nowadays, from military, to package deliveries, to recreational and fun purposes. but should anybody really be able to use drones?  i think there should be stricter requirements on buying drones. Drones can be a hazard to planes, military, animals, and other things they can come in contact with. drones can also record inappropriate content, and finally, drones can damage or hurt private property.  

first and foremost, drones can be a hazard to planes, military airspace, and animals in the air. sure drones can be fun, but the danger is endless. if a drone was flying and accidentally came in contact with a plane or military aircraft, all the people on board could be injured, or worse. These problems can be easily fixed if drones were only sold to people who knew how to operate them without causing a hazard.

secondly, drones can record inappropriate content.  imagine you are filing your taxes, and you decide to work outside. a drone could easily record all of your personal information, and possible steal money from your bank account. again, this problem could be completely gone if drones were only sold to people who would use them properly. don’t you want to keep your personal information, passwords, and other content safe?

and finally, drones can damage personal property, and people.  a drone can go flying out of control and crash into a house and/or building. this could then injure the property, and possibly the people inside of it. this is definitely a problem that needs action. we need to keep property, people, and other things safe. if there was a restriction on drone buying, these problems would decrease so much! drones are fun and cool, but they are also hazardous. we need to enforce laws to prevent hazards from happening. if we do, i wouldn’t be worried about my neighbor’s drone flying over my head. i would actually enjoy drones, knowing i would be safe.

the mid terms

today in math, we started the mid terms. i was so nervous, i felt like i was going to puke. i studied, i payed attention in class,but i was still so nervous. as i finished up my unit 6 test and took it up to the turn-in basket, i felt my stomach drop. i took my mid year test and startedit. first, i looked over it. then i realized, i knew this! this really is everything i learned this year so far! i didn't need to do all that studying, i payed attention, i knew this! i started the test and felt confident. i feel ready for tomorrow.

into the books fiction series

some days, i wish life wasn't as real as it is. i wish that people judged you on your kindness and heart than what brand your pants are, like in fairy tales. i wish that you could go on an adventure and fly away to neverland, like Wendy. i wish i got to just jump down a rabbit hole to a world I've always wanted, like Alice. i wish i could just jump into the books I've known as a child. i dream of things like this, every day in fact. some days more than others, but none the less, every day. i want to fly like tinker bell, and soar across the world, i want to look down to see beauty, not look up to see my math teacher.

    i sit in the back so no one notices me. i mean, not like anyone does anyway, but i do so the teacher will specifically not notice me. i always have my textbooks and notepad out so it looks as though im paying attention, but i'm in the world of my books. at that specific moment in time, i was right there watching harry kill the bascalius in the chamber of secrets. i felt like i was really there, really, actually in the adventure with harry potter, Ron Weasley, Hermoine Granger, and all the other characters in the harry potter books. that is, until i heard the clunk clunk sound of my science teacher's brown ankle boot tapping on the ground.
"ahem!" she coughed
"uh, yes?" i quietly said.
"what are the properties of hydrogen peroxide, Ms. Jenni Calbeer?" she sternly asked
"what?" i replied
"what are the properties of hydrogen peroxide?!" she yelled so the whole school could hear.
"um, it's a strong oxidizing agent i think." i half-heartedly said.
"actually you are right. but pay attention next time, alright?" she said as she walked away.
few. that was a close one. i reallyt didntcare what she said as i dived right back to where i left off. right. harry was killing the bascalus.

Missing break

Today was a regular day. I really wish it wasn't. I miss break so much right now!! The thrills, the relaxation, the suprises, everything. But we all eventually have to get into the swing of things, and enjoy are everyday lives. Break was so awesome because I got to do something I have been wanting to do forever, which is visit universal studios. I may miss it, but at least I have great memories from everything we did. One of my favorite memories is from a show/ride called posidon's fury. I was the "volentold" person and I had a lot of fun doing it. It's something I'll remember for a long time.

christmas morning

i waited by the staircase with my brother and sister to go downstairs. it was christmas morning, and i was so excited. i wondered what would be down there. i really hoped that i would get the necklace i had been wanting for a really long time. but wwho knows what would be down there!
"come down!" my dad yelled.
 the three of us bolted down the stairs to see our living room over flowing with gifts! i ran straight to my corner. in my house we all have areas where we sit to open presents. i always sit in the big brown chair right next to the christmas tree.i pulled my giant-sized stocking up on my lap and started opening presents.

Universal

We checked into our resort at universal, we got our tickets and express passes, we were all ready. We walked over to the park, went through security, and we were in. We made a list of the rides with the longest lines, and we started. We did minions, visited diagon alley, rode the Simons ride, rode revenge of the mummy, and many more all in our first day! On our second day, we probably did double thay! We did ever thing on the universal side of the parl, which includes: diagon alley, escape from gringots, transformers, e.t. adventure, Hollywood rip ride rockit, revenge of the mummy, and more. On our last day, we did mainly  everything on the island of adventure side, which included Harry potter and the forbidden journey, spiderman, ripsaw falls, Seuss landing, fearfall, jurassic park, hogsmeade village, and dueling dragons.

The drive...

Sooo, this is the worst part of the vacation. The 18 hour painful drive to Florida. At least our car had a dvd player and I had my phone and lots of candy! We left at about 11 o'clock, and arrived at our hotel in Charlotte NC at about ten o'clock at night. I was so tired, I fell right asleep. We woke up at about 2:30 in the Morin so we would arrive at about 11 o'clock am. When after what felt like years, we saw the yellow sign that said welcome to cocoa beach. We made it!

Suprise! Get in the car we're going to Florida! Part 2

My dad takes the hat and sticks it on my sister's head. "You're in griffinclaw, and Aidan you're in slitherbutt, Ainsley, you're in huffledoor!" I had a feeling this had to do with Harry potter because my dad was naming the houses at hogwarts, but all mixed up. The actual house are ravenclaw, slitherin, hufflepuff (qhich is my fav) and griffindoor, named after the 4 founders of hogwarts. "Okay, since I vet you 3 are really confused right now, I'll explain it. We are going to universal studios! We will drive down today, go to cocoa beach tomorrow and visit grandma and grandpa, them go to universal for 3 days, staying at a resort on park with express passes, then go back to cocoa beach for 4 days. Merry christmas, now go pack!

Suprise!! get in the car we're going to florida! Part 1

I look over at the clock, it's 6:00. I hear slight movement coming towards my room. My mom walks in and wakes my sister up, then me. I quickly realize something: it's christmas. I run to the staircase where my brother is already waiting. "You can come down now!" my dad says from the bottom of the stairs. We quickly run down stairs to see filled stockings and a very large wrapped box. We empty put or human-sized stockings and open each box carefully. A candy maker, the twelve days of earrings, a necklace I have been wanting for weeks, and loads of candy are just some of the items I find in my stocking. As my siblings finish opening their presents I slowly creep over to the large wrapped box in the middle of the room. "Okay, I'd every one done??" My mom asked. "Yup!" We answer. "Okay you can unwrap in in 3,2,1!" My mom yells. We peel the paper off the large cardboard box to find carpet and an old Halloween witch hat. "Uh, thanks??" My brother questions.
