Update

Okay so it's been a while since I've posted on this blog, but everything's been pretty busy for me. I mean, school has  been completely hectic and my sleeping schedule has been jacked up. I can't even stay up past 9 pm on  a Friday night because I'm so tired of everything. So for cooking breakfast in the morning, I have resorted to microwavable meals. I'm not talking about the Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches, but home cooked meals made in less than 10 minutes. The first thing I attempted to make was a pancake in a mug. I had seen this recipe on a website that had a list of these microwavable meals and was very interested in trying this. So, I tried making this for my sisters one day. One word: AMAZING!!! The pancake was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly in the mugs. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone that needs a quick meal in less than a minute. The link for this recipe is below, I would also recommend this website because it has many other delicious recipes worth trying. Have fun cooking and adios!!!

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!!!!

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!!!
