I so excited that the terms almost over. I might actually get a 4.0 GPA this time. I am to the point that teachers are not giving any more homework but the reason for that is that we have tests to take. I am so glad because this amout the last bit of homework I have for the term.
I can not beleive that we would have a long weekend, because of UEA, than comeback for three days then have a break for three more days. It's awsome because I have so many things I can do now that I could not do because of homework. I can now watch T.V. and catch up on some shows I have missed. I also like to relax and not feel the stress of homework. Since AR was do today I can also read the books I want to read with out any hurry to get them done. With my big long list of books to read I think I will start with the Hunt for the Red October.
I am also excided because today is Halloween. Since I am in the 9th grade I am no longger allowed to go trick or treating. How ever I can still dress up. The reason I am still allowed to dress up is because I goto halloween parties. this year since I am only going to one party I just threw on a cloak from last year. But the parties are still fun. My family have friends who have a party every year. This year they did not have one I do not know whythey did not have it this year. Usually at their party you would have to dress up to a theme. One time the theme was red and we went as heart cards my mom and dad dressed up as th king and queen of hearts, I was the seven of hearts (because I was seven years old), and my brother was the four of hearts. We usually have apple cider and they buy gifts and we play games with them.
Since I can not go trick or treating I stay home and pass out candy. this may sound boaring but it's not. You get to see what every one is dressed up as. I won't have to do that much this year because my brother has decided not to go trick or treating this year. Since he is staying home I can do more things I want to do, like jump up and scare people. I'm just kidding I am not going to scare peple but other people would probally do it.
We also have traditions we do. Like we normaly hand out glow sticks because kids likie them and since most of the kids put them on as soon as they get them it protects them from getting hit by a car because the driver sees the glow stick glowing. We also eat pizza for dinner. then after we eat are pizza we carve pumpkins. We usually do about four or five pumpkins. This year one of our pumpkins was stolen. we usually carve pumpkins like they're our proffesion. Another thing we do like it is our proffesion is decerating Christmas trees. We always decerate it differently every year.
I cant wait for tonight. I hope you don't have toomuch home work

Halloween
I can't wait for Halloween. It's going to be fun even though I don't go trick or treating any more I still go to Halloween parties. What makes a party good is how well its host has organized the party. Most of the time you have to have a costume for Halloween parties. I don't know what I will dress up as because I have not been invited to a party yet. But we all know as Halloween gets closer every day we are nearing the end of the term.
I still have to finish up all of my assignments like entering a writing contest. I am thinking about entering this Halloween short story contest. I have seen a lot of people put poems and short stories in their blogs so I'm going to share one of my stories' that has a mysterieous plot.
It's a dark and stormy Halloween night. Kids are out Trick or Treating while four sixteen year olds are hanging out around an old light house by the shore. the name of the first teen is Frank Johnson who is dating Jessica Ray. They were also out with Curtis Leckington and his date Mellissa Jones.
They decided to go visit an old Lighthouse that many people thought were haunted. They all met at Curtis' house. As they were walking they heard a noise coming from the ally. "What was that",Mellisa screamed. "I don't know", Curtis responed in a calming voice. "I'll go check it out", Frank said with a mocking kind of tone. Frank crept closer toward the garbage cans. When sudenly a black cat jump out. Frank was screaming like crazy. Then Melissa thought the cat looked familiar. Of course! it's the Richards' cat, which is the more friendly then the other neighbors' cats. "Frank! It's the Richards' cat",Melissa yelled out.
After they figured out that the cat was disturbed by their talking Curtis pulled out his cell phone and saw that it was acting a little strange. Mellissa pulled out her pda and noticed hers was doing the same thing blinking and the image was moving back and forth. "Whats this", Jesica questioned. "That's Mine" Frank told her. "It's a letter and why would it be adressed to the Rowans". "Then It must be theirs" Curtis mentioned "How do you know its theirs",Jesica questioned. "Because it says Rowan on the mail box" Curtis answered. "Well thats weird I don't remember anyone living in this house". Mellissa said while strocking her chin. "I think the Women's society said this house has been abandoned for years" Mellissa said in a mysterious voice. " It looks like their is a Children's playground in the backyard" Frank mentioned in a confused voice. "Well lets see if the people are home", Jesica said hapily while heading for the front door of the house.
So do you like the first couple of paragraphs of my stories.

Science Olympiad
On Friday we found out if we made the team or not and what team we would be one. Well I wasn't good enough to be on the Junior High team but I am on the High School team. Even though I am not on the Junior High team it will still be fun to conpete on the High School level. Plus there are diffrent events on the High School level that sound fun. Some of the events I want to do are Robot Ramble, Boomilevers, and Remote Sensing
The Boomilevers event is building a boomilever and testing it to see how much weight it can hold before it breaks. First, you have to design a boomilever. Second, you build the boomilever. Third, you have to test the boomilever. Then the fourth step you design a new boomilever based on how the boomilever failed (or how the boomilever broke from the load). To test the boomilever you basicly mount it on a testing structure then you put a rod on it and hook it to a bucket wich you fill with salt. This is similar to the Tower building event wich is on Junior High level. This is the event I would do if I was on the Junior high team.
I don't know that much about Remote sensing but what I know is that you have to find objects by using a map and electronic sensing equipmant. This sounds really fun becaus you would use things like a GPS. I know a little more about Robot ramble. Last year I did an event like this and it was called Sumo Bot. In the Sumo Bot event you would build a robot that had to be able to fit in a certain dimention. Then you would try to push the other team's robot out of the square. In Robot ramble you build a robot and then you have to move certain objects into a certain area. This one would be fun because making robots are a really though challenge.
One of the fun things a bout being on Science Olympiad is the competitions. The District competition is fun because it's the smallest competition. The District competition only takes up the morning and only half the events are at this competition. Even though you don't get any awards it is a good practice. The State Competiton is fun because it takes up the whole day. This is where you can earn medals and your team can win it all and goto the National competition. The fun thing about the National competition is that you get to travel and its like a vacation depending on where it is being held, like this year it is in Washington D.C.. It is going to be hard this year because in order for the high School team to go we have to beat the other High schools, like Layton and Davis high.
So eventhough I am not on the Junior high team it will still be fun on the High Schol team. and it's still be like I'm on the Junior high team.
The Boomilevers event is building a boomilever and testing it to see how much weight it can hold before it breaks. First, you have to design a boomilever. Second, you build the boomilever. Third, you have to test the boomilever. Then the fourth step you design a new boomilever based on how the boomilever failed (or how the boomilever broke from the load).

So eventhough I am not on the Junior high team it will still be fun on the High Schol team. and it's still be like I'm on the Junior high team.

Don't Know What to Write About
I do not know what to write about because there is too much to write about. Instead of telling you about one thing and going into real detail about it, I am going to tell you alot of things and a little bit about that thing.
One thing thats happening is Science Olympiad that I am trying out for. Our applications are due tomarrow and we have to take a test on Wendsday to show how smart we are and the test is two-hundred questions and we only have two hours to do it. We find out on Friday if we make it or not. We might have a High School team this year which means its made up of fifteen ninth graders (who are really considered to be in High School) who compete against other High Schools. I hope I make the Junior High team because I do not like the events on the High School teams and I would not like to compete against High School students.
I have an Orchestra concert on Wendsday (wich is the same day as the test). I do not think we are ready for it yet. There is this one song that we have not had for a long time so we haven't practice it that much. Our teacher may just cut the song from the program if it is not ready to be preformed. Like I have said before, The concert is on the same day as the test, which I will not get done with until 5:30. Then I have to be at the concert at 6:15 and then it starts at 7:00. After the concert I have to come home and do my homework. There is math which will be a worksheet but can still take a long time plus any other homework I have from other classes. I have a feeling that this day will be very long and I will look forward to sleeping
I am also going to go camping on Friday. It is going to be a fun trip. It will take along time to get there. We are going to leave around 2:45 and then be back late Saturday evening around 9:00. I do not know what we are doing on this camp out but it is always fun to go. We arrive around dinner time so we quickly set up camp while our scout master cookes dinner then we eat dinner. After dinner we talk and play around then when its night we gather around the campfire and roast marshmelows. Then we talk more then go to our tents then we have a choice to either go to bed our we can stay up as long as we keep quiet. In the morning our scout master wakes us up around seven o'clock and then we pack up camp while he cooks breakfast. Depending on how far away we are from home we stay and play around more and have lunch or we leave after breakfest. On some camp outs we have one leader drive home in the morning if some people have to be at soccer games. I really like to go on camp outs they are a blast.
That is all I have this week.

can't wait!
I can't wait for this weekend. My familly and I are going to Park City for the weeked. We are going to go shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall. We usually go ride the alpine slide at the mountain ski resort. We also buy candy from The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.
One of the fun parts is always the ride up because you are excited about going and can't wait to get there. We take music we burned on discs and other stuff to do on the way up. Then when we get to the hotel we unload and go down to the pool to swim. We really like to swim, which we do a lot on vacations.
One of the things my mom likes to do is shop at the outlet mall. We like to look in the kitchen ware store. My mom cooks a lot so she likes to buy stuff from the kitchen store so she can make something she has never made or to help her cook something faster. We also look in most of the shoe stores . We go to the paper store where they have a wide verity of wrapping paper. My mom usually buys a couple of rolls to wrap the Christmas presents. She sometimes will buy some birthday paper too because my grandpa's birthday is Christmas Day and he hates it if anyone wraps his present in Christmas paper.
We also go to the Mountain resort and ride the Alpine Slide. It is a lot of fun because you ride up the mountain on a ski lift and then you ride down on a blue sled-looking thing. It sucks when it rains because you have to get off and walk down the mountain. It will probably be closed this weekend since it is fall and will not open until spring. We like to get chocolate from the Rockey Mountain Chocolate Factory. They have all different kinds of truffels and fudge. We usually buy some truffels and one thing of fudge. My mom likes to buy the caramel apples and she will cut it in pieces and share with me and my brother.
We have a familly tradition to go up on the Fourth of July and watch the fireworks the city launches. We always watch it from the pool so we get spots at the pool about three or four hours before and have a party.
Of course the saddest part of the trip is going home because you have the feeling that our vacation's over. It is a good thing that we leave on a Saturday and I still have a day left of the weekend and do not have to think my vacation's over and I would have to go to school the next day.
The only bad thing is that I have to work on homework. I have to finish reading Rocket Boys if I am not done reading it before then. I also have to start reading The Count of Monte Cristo and be done in a month from today. I have not even started it and it is five hundred pages long. I also have to do math homework, but I will probably wait for Sunday to do. Just talking about it is geting me excited to go. I can't wait for this weekend!
