Honestly, I'm not sure if I am looking forward to being an eighth grader or not. This year, there were a lot of seventh graders who didn't like the eighth graders because they were mean. I don't want people to think I'm mean. I'm sure a lot of this years eighth graders felt that way also but, no matter how hard they try, they will still be found intimidating.
But, there are a few good things about being an eighth grader. When I'm an eighth grader, I could be in WEB (where everyone belongs) and help the seventh graders. And when I'm an eighth grader, I'll be closer to the end of my school career. So, I suppose being an eighth grader won't be too bad.
Last Friday we had a water rally. I'm in the leadership class, so I came at six in the morning to help set it up. It took up close to the entire time to perfect everything. In all of the other rallies that I have helped set up, we already knew exactly what to do. We were prepared and it went smoothly in the past. But that wasn't exactly the case for this one. We had to improvise a lot, but we pulled it off in the end.
After the rally, we went to Wild Water Adventures for the rest of the day. I had a good time, but I got sunburned... a lot. The strang thing is, I can't remember a time that I have been sunburned before Friday. I never have worn sunblock and that's one of the only sunburns I've ever gotten. But, I've worn sunblock everyday after that. But, it's only been three days, so I doubt that will last long.
Just five more days. I can survive that, especially considering that two of those days we aren't doing anything. But, even five days seems to go by like years when you're waiting for something exciting. Or in this case, something boring to end. This summer I'm going to South Lake Tahoe for a week or two to see family.
My birthday is in the middle of July, so I also have that to look forward to. My two best friends birthdays are less than a week after mine. So all of my July weekends are going to be very busy. But in August, I'm not going to do anything at all.
In core, we are making review board games. My groups topic is Islam, so our
board game is called... Well, we haven't thought of a name for it yet, but I'll
edit this when we do. In this game you have move around the board. The idea of
the game is to get to the Kaaba. You roll two dice and you will land on an E, H,
?, or bridge.
If you land on E, you pick up and English card and answer that question. If you get it correct, you caontinue as usual, but if you get it wrong, you skip your next turn. If you land on a ?, you read the question card and do as it says. If you land on a bridge, you go up it. There are many other complicated rules such as, if you roll a three, you go backwards three, not forward. So far, our game looks pretty good and I think I will get a decent grade on it.
