Halloween

I can’t wait until Halloween. I’m probably not going to dress up as anything because I going to watch a movie and play cards with my friends. There is also a dance tonight that I’m going to with my friends. I’m glad it’s a no homework night on Thursday and a late start on the following Friday. I hope I get a lot of candy!

Snorkeling in the Galapagos

Jumping into the cool, clear water felt great. White bubbles surrounded me as I jumped in. I looked around and saw miles and miles of open sea. Colorful schools of fish swim all around me and sea lions swimming under me, then I come up to take a breath. I’ll never forget the Galápagos Islands.

Band

Band is one of my favorite classes. I’m in the best band called wind ensemble. I play percussion and I really enjoy it. The wind ensemble band is mostly 8th graders and only 4 7th graders incuding me. The other percussionists are really nice as well as the other 8th graders. I am a section leader which means I get to schedule when we do fun stuff and I get to help with other things. There was a vote and I won against the other percussionist. Band is a subject I look forward to everyday.
