Life’s Adventures

As most of sixth grade knows this past Wednesday my family and i had to go to the vet to put my pride and joy, Timber to sleep. I am writing this post to everyone that signed the card that Serena bought for everybody to sighn. All so to vent my own feelings. For you see I never kept a journal, I used to go to my bff, Timber and tell him all my troubles and my problems. Serena it was very sweet of you to do this, Kitty( Alejandra) thank you for being there for me when I needed you most. It was hard for me to lose my best friend and my all time best body guard ever. Not in effence to all my best friends. One reason i was so upset was because there hasn’t been a day in my life that I haven’t had my bff. Here is a short quick story to tell you. October 8th,1996. The day I came home form the hospital was a strange day for me and the young 1 year old puppy Timber. My caring Mother placed me in my crib next to her bed. Timber, the curios little puppy, jumped on the bed to see what all the kaos was all about. When young Timber reached the edge of the bed he peared over the edge of the bed. Very carefully I must add. I think he thought something was going to reach out and bite him. But really I woulbn’t bite, well at least not hard. ( lol) When he saw me he just stared at the pore little girl tat lay there defencivly. On that exact day Timber realized that I was his girl. From that day forward he would not let any one near me. That is one of many stories to be told. It is very hard for me to be writing this post I am sad that we lost Timber but I know he is in a better place. I know that all I have to do is focus on the good times that we have had with him . I am not going to tell you every single story that took place, well because there would be thousands, but I just want to say that any one who thinks    I am a being a baby has no idea what love is. Timber and I had a bond like no other, our bond could never be replaced , but I have to focus on my other dog Sophie.                            :  D

All right on Friday the gifted and talented students are doing this thing called Team Quest. We will be out, but not technically out. We will be in the school, but we won’t be in class. We will be solving a series of mysteries and problems to advance to the next round, which would mean we would go on to district. It seems very exciting. We will be put into teams of a certain amount of 3rd and 4th graders, and 5th and 6th graders. I am excited and nervous at the same time. If you get a chance to read this please wish me good luck. : P

Now I have posted a post about my dog before, but never anything this sad. I have a thirteen-year old German Shepard at home. That’s about 98 in human years, so he is pretty old and he is having a real hard time right now. He has really bad arthritis and can’t get up to walk unless you help him. My mom has told me that our time with him will not be that much longer. So I am going to try and cherish it as much as possible. It will be extremely hard to let him go, but I know that nothing can last forever. I have two dogs right now. The other ones name is Sophie. She is going to be ten this year. She is so sweet, she will love you to death. (You can ask Alejandra, she’s seen her) She loves Timber. I guess you could call Puppy love! (LOL) Well I will keep informing you about my dog until that day comes.

Have you ever had some problems in life, with family members, or friends? Well I have. I won’t tell you who it is, but I will make up fake names. I had these two friends, Lizza and Mandie. We used to be tight and all, but as you know no one stays together forever. We soon drifted a part and sort of kind of became enemies. Soon me and Mandie started to have these hidden fights amongst us. I will say me and Lizza became very good friends. Well in the sixth grade neither of us could take that any more. I finally went and told Ms. Ward. She told me she would take care of It . Well it DID get taken care of , but 1 more problem arouse from this situation. Lizza told me that she did not want to be my friend any more. So I am just trying to go on with life. Here is a lesson that every one should learn. Don’t let people conntrol you like that. Take control of your life and don’t let them brother you. If you are having problems with someone, do talk to someone.     : P

Now I will say that my feelings have changed about the new schedule. At first, I did say that I was not enjoying it so much, but having been on this schedule for a while now I have gotten used to it. I like that we are being introduced to Reading and writing in the same class. I think that we will be doing it this way in middle school and high school. I do see a deep connection  between reading and writing. It is showing us that Reading and writing are ” Sister” subjects. (A.K.A. subjects that belong together.) I am learning the different strategies to language arts class’ techniques. After all, I am starting to love our new class.    : D

Tear Drops

Drip, Drop, Drip, Drop

Slipping down a child’s cheek

Giving you a little peek

To deep emotions

Both strong and weak

Tears are windows to the soul

Revealing what one’s life holds

Showing you what lies within

Sometimes giving just a hint

Emotions running strong and deep

Tears…

a hurting heart’s way to speak

Have you ever had a nightmare? I have. Although my cousin Travis taught me that if you wake up it is called a nightmare, but If you don’t then It is called a night terror. But that is not important right now. I haven’t had either one of those in a long time, but I do remember one specifically. It was a dark and stormy night( in the dream) and I had been stranded in the desert for weeks. I was tired and hungry, and not to mention cranky. I just wanted to go take a nap. In the distance, I saw a cave. I started running has fast as light. I finally reached the mouth of the cave and walked inside. It was a cold dark scary place with rocks and bones all over the floor. I sat down and curled up in a ball trying to stay warm. I looked up to see two dark blue, creepy eyes looking up at me. A low rumbling G-R-O-W-L came out and echoed through the cave. I stood up and looked around a small cheetah stood up and bared its teeth… And I never really got to finish it and I’m glad.

As  you know this week we started our new block schedule. I have differing thoughts about this. At some times I like to have the  new schedule because we get to learn how reading and writing are combined, but at some times I don’t like it because we get only get three teachers instead of all four, not that I don’t like spending two hours with Mrs. Baker, because I  do. But I still miss Ms. Ward. I do think that this will be good for us because this is the way we will do it in middle school.

Do you have a favorite place in the world, some place where when your there all your troubles seem to melt away? Well I do.My favorite place is Mammoth lakes ,California. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. It is all woods. It might be small and cold, but there is everything there ever could be in the woods. You would think that you would be bored in the woods, but in Mammoth there is everything. You can stand on volcanos, you can walk in to an earthquake fault, you can fishing at about 12 different lakes, Stand on the bridge over looking twin lakes, you can go hiking up the mountains, go horseback riding down to Rainbow falls, and so much more. My family and I go there every summer. When ever I am there nothing is holding me back. It is such a beautiful place to be, that sometimes I wish I could live there. Someday I will buy a house there and live there year long. I am glad that there is a beach about 6 hours or so from mammoth. I am happy about that. There is one other place that is to the same value to me as mammoth. I love to go to San Diego. I love to walk on the beach feeling the sand squish through my toes, the smooth, cold, water run over my feet. These are the two places I love to go to the most.

As you know this week in science class we have been learning about natural resources. Do you think that we should work hard to preserve renewable resources. ” WHY?” you ask. Well although renewable resources can be renewed, we should also work on not using the ones that we have right now, because some of the resources we do have will take a long time to grow. Like trees for instance. We know that we can all ways grow more trees, but just imagne how long it takes them to grow as big as they can get. So mabye this is why we recycle. Let me give you an example. Have you ever seen the smencils,( a.k.a smelly pencils). Well if you look closely at the tip of the pencil you can see remenince of the sunday news paper. Well now you know that it is important to value our resources.
