Dinner Dance

Dinner dance is a celebration 8th graders have to celebrate their graduation(promotion). My dinner dance was May 25, 2017. It was at skylight banquet and it was a formal place. The event lasted from 6-9:45. During the event we were giving three meals. I personally wasn't a fan of the food but it was still fun. The event was a fun experience for me.

We ate for about an hour in assigned seats. Then after we got up and people made small groups and took a lot of pictures. After about 30 minutes the Dj played a known song that made a lot of people dance. After that we continued to dance. I of course danced to the Mexican music we suggested to the dj, with a lot of my friends. I was tired by the end of the event but it was one of the best events I been to. 

Plans for the summer

Summer is an exciting time for a lot of 8th graders . It gives them a break from acting like an adult and time to be a kid. It alos gives us time to relax and be children until we enter high school. Many people relax, go out and enjoy, or just use the time to prepare for high school. I'm one of the people who are gonna go out and enjoy my youth for the summer.

I joined a sport for the summer(soccer). I have practice during the week and games on the weekends. I'm gonna go out for the summer a lot. June is gonna be all about soccer and cook outs. July is gonna be soccer too, but also I'm going to a cabin in South Dakota and for Fourth of July. In august I'm gonna finish soccer. After that I'm going to Mexico. I'm going to Morelia, Michoacán and Ixtapa. I'm going for a wedding in Morelia and Ixtapa for the beach. I'm gonna skip the first day of high school, but it's gonna be worth it.

Softball Champonship

There was a softball team in my school. It was co-ed(boys and girls). My friend convinced me to try out and I did. I made the team after two tryouts. We had the best record of the season, we had a 8-2 record. We had the best record so we were able to skip the first game. I wasn't able to make the playoffs until the semifinals.

I made it half way through the game of the semifinal. We were down 3 to 0. I felt bad because I wasn't able to be there to help. It was the second last inning. Our defense took the other school out fast. My team went up to bat and knocked out of the park. We got two people on a base and then our big guy got a homer. We finished the last inning easily. That is when we went to the finals. It was a low scoring game. Then second inning we were down 4-0 the whole game went like this. The second last inning was intense. We scored four points and then got out. In the last inning we took the out the other school fast from batting. It was our turn. We had to score once and we would have one. I was first to bat. I swung and missed and accidentally threw the bat. I was nervous. I went again but tried not to get too nervous. I looked down, waited, and sung when the ball came. I ran to first base and was safe. My other two teammates were walked so I was on third base. My teammate hit me home and we had won the championship. It seamed like a cliche movie win but it was a intense game.

Book blog: Lord of The Flies

    Lord of The Flies is a unique book. It sounds like an average cliche book about  out boys and an island. The book is way deeper then that. The book is about 248 pages long. This book is an allegory, young adult fiction, and a novel. A quote I found intresting in the book was "maybe there is a beast… maybe it's only us.” This quote is a big part of the story and you need to reed the boom to understand what this represents. 



Summary: This story timeline is somewhere towards the end of world war 2. A group of little boys and teens is taken down. No adult survives and only the boys. They at first look at it as a gift, they have unlimited freedom and can play around. They later realize it is a curse, so they decided to form a civilization and Ralph is the leader. They blow a conch to form meetings. This kid named Jack doesn't like how much power Ralph has or his order so he forms a savage like tribe. They have rituals and feast. The savage group raids the civilized one and acts like a game. They get crazier by the days. (This book has a lot of symbols and actions to show a bigger meaning. In this book you really have to think to understand the symbols.)

Something that scares me

I wouldn't call myself exactly a person who gets scared easily. I am not scared of the dark, I'm not scared of the outside world, and I am not scared to be alone. I am scared of scary movies. Scary movies is the one thing I can try, but will get scared.

I watched scary movies when I was little, but all of the sudden I just got creeped out of scary movies. The new movies are so graphic and realistic, they are meant to scare you. Scary movies even had a trick where they add a frequency in the music lower then what we can hear, but it gets you on edge and be suspenful.(http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/how-the-hidden-sounds-of-horror-movie-soundtracks-freak-you-out). Also scary movies make me feel so weak, because you just watch and can't do anything. I can't comprehend why people do this for. I plan on watching a scary movie soon but I might squeeze the person next to me hard.

My Most fun Friday

I had many fun Fridays like party's or get togethers. They all have been fun but non as cool as the one I experienced recently. It started as an ordinary Friday. Waking up and going to school like any day. Then Later on the school day ended and the fun was about to begin.

My friends and I decided to go to the park. We went at around 5 and decided to play softball. It was a crazy game with amazing catches and hit. We got bored and later on played infected. It's kinda like tag one tag all and we played all around the park. I was it and chased my friends. I jumped a small river that was full of mud. My cousin decided and got stuck. He lost his shoe so he had to go back in it and try to find it. The river was full of nasty things and smell bad but my cousin jumped in it precisely where he shoe was "at". I was laughing so much that I was crying. We stopped the game and watched my cousin get my shoe. He gave up so we continued our game. It was to much that I can't explain it, but it was one of my best Friday.

Last month as an 8th grader

The last month of the school year can be easier or harder on some people. For me it is between for many reasons. It is easier because the teachers do give work but try to help and make it easier and comfortable. It is easier because people seem to relax more. Everyone seems to be relax because the school year is almost done. That doesn't mean it is not hard.

The end of this school year also seems difficult as an 8th grader. We have to focus on high schools and maybe even entry exams. We take more important test then younger grades and it can make you nervous. People also seem to care less so it kinda seems more chaotic. For me it is especially hard because my middle and elementary school are connected so I been in the same building for my whole life, and then all of the sudden I'm going to a huge school. All in all the last month of the school ear can be difficult but can also be relaxing. It has been a phenomenal  year.
