7th Grade Year

Huge projects, end of the year exams, and teachers rushing to get some grades in. Oh! It must be the end of the year! Hooray! No school, no teachers, no homework, but only(sadly) for 3 months. Now, lets see how my year went.

At the beginning of the year, I thought I would have just about the same friends, but I was TOTALLY wrong. Since I had a different schedule with a ton of people I didn’t know, I was bound to make new friends. I have met new friends and friend groups that I didn’t even notice last year! Thanks to them, I have explored more TV shows (especially Sherlock) and other things. Some things have changed from sixth grade like how easy it is to remember your locker combination. I don’t even think about it anymore, its muscle memory! Also, the cafeteria loves Sun Chips. There are one line of every chip bag and 5 for Sun Chips.

Overall the friend situation went well in this grade but the homework was horrid. With math homework everyday and possibly science, it usually keeps me up.

Stuck in my head!!!!!

You know that music that always just comes back to you and you cant stop hearing it in your head? Annoying right! Here are some of the song that cant get out of my head!

1. Happy

OK, this one is SUPER obvious. Almost everybody knows this song. If you don’t, you might have been living under a rock for the past 6 months. Having repeated lyrics and a constant tempo, This song is EXTREMELY catchy. I would be surprised if the tune was not stuck in your head right now.

2. Any Phantom Of The Opera Music

Thanks to the English teachers, these songs are stuck and the wont get out of my head.  Anything from Masquerade to This Is The Point Of No Return, every single one is stuck. We went over them so many times that they wont get out until hopefully next year.

3. Demons

Imagine Dragons is a relatively new popular band (thanks to radioactive which is FINALLY not in my head). They have made a couple of big hits like Its Time, Radioactive, and this one, Demons. Demons is by far the song I listen to the most(Its my favorite). I think this one is stuck in my head just because I listen to it VERY often, possibly more than any other song.

These are some of this ANNOYING songs that are like a disease in my head. What are some songs that are stuck in your head?

Favorite Place In Austin: Top Golf!

Top Golf is a driving range with a twist. I think it is one of the best places to visit in Austin and here are some reasons why.

 

First off, the twist is that it is a game. It is great for a whole family, even if they don’t play golf. The goal is to hit the golf ball into one of these giant holes and score points. You may think its simple, but its harder than you think. All the holes are spread out and are different sizes ( usually the closer they are the closer and less points they are.) But its good for the kids because if you hit it in the center of a closer hole, it most likely will be worth more points than a far one in the corner. Lastly, if you REALLY don’t want to play, there are x-box games inside. That is why this place is great.

 

Secondly, its not just golf, its also is a restaurant. While you are playing, waiters serve you food. Top Golf offers pizzas, hamburgers, wings, and more! Its not just that they serve food, the food is actually good. I had a flat bread sausage pizza, and it was really good. Lastly, the greatest part about it is the wait. On spring break, I went to Top Golf at 12:30 PM, and there was no wait if you have a membership card. But if you need a membership card, it was a 5 minute wait. That makes Top Golf a Terrific Place.

 

Top Golf is a great place to spend a few hours at, I personally think it is one of the best places in Austin. If you don’t like this place, then there is something wrong with you.

The Lair

Cold, dark wind whistles through the deep,  dark cave, reeking of death. Flickering candles there bringing warmth, but not enough. It seems cold and lonely, but I can sense something else in this labyrinth, something evil and cruel, I move onwards to a endless dark lake, the cold water climbing up to my toes–sending a shock up my body. In the distance I see a suited figure, looking still, “is it dead” I think to myself. I better check it out. As I board the rickety old boat, a silver and gold organ plays dreadful music, blasting my ears. The figure slowly walks towards me smiling, like he was happy to see me, but who was this thing? How does it know me? Suddenly, the boat disappears under my feet, and I start to sink. I hear a horrific maniacal laugh behind me, excited for me to die. My life flashes by me, and I fall into an eternal sleep.

Expository writing

In school recently we have been talking about expository writing. I have thought about different ideas, so I decided that I would make them into one post but with only one example.

Why contacts are better than glasses:

For this argument I think contacts are better because of messing with them all day, contacts only make you put on and take off them once. That is why contacts are better than glasses.

Why dogs are better than cats:

Overall dogs are much more friendly. I think cats hide away too much. Unlike cats, dogs are much better at appreciating a new person. That is why dogs are better than cats.

Why headphones are better than earbuds:

When wearing earbuds you can hear everything around you, but when you wear headphones, the cushions block the outside sound. That is why headphones are better than earbuds.

My list for expository writing is endless, and these are some of my favorites. I’m wondering what your favorite expository writing topic is. Please tell me in the comments.

Why Sochi was a bad place for the Olympics

The olympics, millions of people watching, hoping for their country to win gold. I have been watching the olympics for a while and I think Sochi is bad city to have the olympics.

 

First of all have you seen the weather there? Right now it is 64 degrees! And for the WINTER Olympics! Sochi is next to the Black Sea so it is a beach town. There have been reports about athletes having to stuff ice down their suits! In the WINTER OLYMPICS. Sochi’s climate is bad for the Olympics.

 

Another reason is Sochi the overall city. Sochi just wasn’t ready for the Olympics. You can find toilets without covers, yellow colored water, bees in you honey, stray dogs, and even unfinished hotels! The Olympic stadiums may look amazing, but there are too many things wrong in the city.

 

As you can see Sochi is a horrible city for the Winter Olympics. I want to know what you think about the Sochi games and tell me how you like the next Winter Olympics being in South Korea.

 

 

Why mistakes are important

X-Rays, silly putty, penicillin, even potato chips were invented/discovered by mistakes! Mistakes have brought a lot of important things in our lives.

Accidents are great! They motivate you to make something better! Say you have a phone, everything’s perfect but then. You see one mistake- that one mistake- you cant stop thinking about it, so then that motivates you to fix that mistake. And who knows, you might invent something new!

Also talking about inventions do you know how many things were invented by mistakes? There is a very long list of them! Ink-jet printers, corn flakes, microwave ovens, and fireworks are a few. You have to be thankful for at least one of them! (especially cornflakes) Mistakes are one of the best parts of life.

As you can see mistakes have created and motivated people to do something . I want to know, if you could take away one mistake, what would it be.

Snow days

On my snow days I had so much fun playing inside. Wh.. Wait what? You didn’t play outside ?!

I know, I know, I didn’t go outside, so what! I probably had as much fun as you guys did. I had a great day staying warm inside, having no school, and playing most of the day. I got to play plenty of video/board games, (thank god) watched my favorite TV shows, and just about procrastinated all day.

I do wish that I went outside for a little bit, but my grandparents thought it was too icy. I thought that if I could find a piece of cardboard I could sled down the hill ( because nobody in Texas has a sled.) I still didn’t go outside for both of the two days.

 

I want to know what you guys did during the snow day, if it was horrible, if it was amazing, of if you don’t remember because you slept through the day.

Morph Suits

Morph Suits are one of the most popular Halloween costumes right now. In fact, I wore a Morph Suit. Here are the advantages and the disadvantages of a Morph Suit.

Advantages

1. If you are in  a black Morph Suit, nobody can see you.

2. Any Morph Suit kind of looks creepy, which fits Halloween.

3. Nobody can tell who you are

4. You can wear just about any accessory

5. All of the adults don’t know what you are.

Disadvantages

1. Its SUPER HOT.

2. You cant see just about anything.

3. Its easy to lose an accessory

4. You might run into somebody on accident

5. The Morph Suit is really tight.

After all of the disadvantages It was still fun. All that matters is that I got my candy.  🙂

 

 

Gravity

Just recently I watched a movie called Gravity. This is also my own one-hundred word challenge. (spoilers)

Gravity is a movie about a woman named Ryan. Ryan is repairing the Hubble space telescope. The Russians blow up their space station. The debris destroys the other space stations. Ryan needs  head their way to the ISS with the crew member. They get there but the crew member has to let go. Next the ISS gets destroyed by fire but Ryan escapes. She has to make it to the Chinese Space Station to get back to earth. She lands on earth safely.
