STARR Testing

Okay,  so this upcoming week is STAAR testing at my school.  During this time of the school year,  it gets really boring at school because of all the tests we have to take. Sadly, this year I have to take FOUR STAAR tests. Of those for tests, I only have two that are actually eighth grade. They're the science and social studies tests. In fact, I have the science on Wednesday and social studies on Tuesday. The only one that I'm remotely worried about is the science because on the spring mock STAAR test, I we only one question away from being commended, which is really good on the STAAR. My other tests that I have to take this year is the algebra I and English I EOC. Thankfully, I already took my five-hour English test. I think that of all the tests that I'm going to take, the algebra I test is probably going to be the easiest test for me because math is my strongest subject in school. I mean, last year I took the eighth grade STAAR test and only missed two questions. I also got like the best score on the test in my school- seventh and eighth graders combined. This year, I'm just hoping that I get commended on all of my tests. So, wish me luck woke I knock these tests out of the way. Adios my fellow readers!!!

Divergent


This past weekend, my family and I went to go watch the movie Divergent. This movie is now my new favorite movie because it actually followed the storyline. Most movies that are about a book completely jack up the storyline and it completely messes up the movie. The movie was about Beatrice "Tris" Prior and how she goes from being the a selfless Abnegation to being apart of the courageous Dauntless. Tris struggles with keeping her Divergence from showing because this could lead to death. Along the way to finding her true self, Tris meets Four and they have an immediate connection between each other. Tris doesn't know that Four is actually also Divergent until he tells her his deepest secrets through his own fear simulation. The movie was just great. That just about sums it up. It's one of those movies that you have to watch to actually know if you like. Divergent isn't as slow-paced if you like post-apocalyptic and romantic type movies. Though I will warn you that there only is one part of the movie that Tris and Four actually kiss which kind of annoyed me, but you can't have everything. This movie would definitely be a five out of five because it was just amazing. I would suggest to everyone to go and watch this movie and read the book. The book is ten times better than the movie. Currently, I'm re-reading the book and will get a recommendation out soon.
