SUMMER BREAK!!!

Okay, so a lot has happened since the last time I updated my blog. After my STAAR tests that I ranted about in my previous post, I went on this school trip to tour around the New England region. We went to many different places and I got to visit D.C and New York City. This trip was absolutely awesome and I really enjoyed going to all the different places. After my trip, school was basically over and all I had left was my 8th grade graduation ceremony. Since this was the school's first year, the graduation wasn't extravagant, but it was pretty amazing. We had a ceremony and, from that ceremony, I got four medals. Three of these medals were for getting commended on my algebra, science and history tests. The remaining medal was for having perfect attendance, which I didn't even knew I had. After the ceremony, we left the school in a bus and went to the church that I would be attending at this year. After arriving at the church, we spent a couple of hours just hanging out and meeting some of our high school teachers. Then summer came. To be completely honest, I spent half the summer doing absolutely nothing. My days were spent doing only three things: eating, sleeping and watching TV. Around mid-July, my family and I went on a trip to Chicago to visit my grandparents and uncles. The three weeks we spent there were really fun. We did a ton of shopping while we were there. I really had fun this summer and I really can't wait till next summer. Maybe we'll spend more time in Chicago next time. ADIOS!!!!

My B-Day!!!

Last Saturday was my 13th birthday. I had an awesome birthday. The whole day I got to spend with my mom and my sisters and watch movies. We watched the Internship. That movie was really funny. My favorite part of the movie would be when the young interns got the older guys to go to a college and talk to "Professor X." We ate pepperoni pizza and a cookies and cream ice cream cake. I got two jackets, a travel bag and $130 from my parents and a $25 Visa gift card from my cousins. I really loved my birthday, but I really can't wait till this weekend when I get to go SHOPPING!!!
