This Weekend (Free Post)

This Friday, I am missing school to go to Arkansas! I am going for a NFTY event called Fall Conclave.  (National Federation of Temple Youth) I am so excited to see all of my friends from camp. I am staying at a friends house with all of my other friends. I have never been to this event before so I don't know what to expect. I remember my brother going but I wasn't allowed to go. I also remember having boys at my house for other events.
On Sunday, I am coming home on the bus with my friend from Mississippi and she is spending the week in Baton Rouge with me! I am so excited! I hope I don't get sick...


I read 2 hours and 17 minutes of Lord of the Flies

Washing the Dogs

This weekend my mom made me wash our dogs. We have 3 dogs, a westie, a bulldog, and a shitzu... My dogs hate getting bathed, and I hate bathing them just as much. I had to go find the special shampoo for the Molly, the westie, towels, other dog shampoo, and the dogs. They hide in the most inconvenient places from me!
First I washed Bacchus, the bulldog. After he shook off and got me all wet, I had to walk him un and down my street to dry him off. Then I put his leash on the gate and washed the rest of the dogs.
My mom also makes me blowdry the dogs... (yeah. really.)
I brought one in to get dried and when I came bad, Molly and Bacchus were both covered in dirt.
 Of course.

Class Reflection

When my class was told that we were stranded on an island with no adults or anything...
First, we elected a leader. Then, we assigned jobs for each person... And living situations... It seemed pretty stale, but if we were actually stranded on an island... I don't think we would last that long.
We would disagree on one thing and probably split into two groups and create some battle and end up killing everyone...
Everyone also forgot about the first graders that are stranded with us... what is our plan for them?


this week
- I read Lord of the Flies for 46 minuets
-Short story work 1 hour

Reading update

I am still reading "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green
I haven't had much time to read it the past two weeks. But I read a total of one hour and 20 minutes.
I read and annotated short stories for 50 minutes.

Personal Question

What makes someone want to recommend a book to someone?

Reading Post

I read an hour and 30 minutes of "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green
It is pretty interesting so far. I am wondering if this book has the same plot pattern as Green's other books that I have read. Nothing too unusual so far. But I will have to keep reading to find out!

9-5-13 7:37 P.M.	9-3-13 Cole’s Blog Divergent- Don’t judge a book by it’s cover	Cole, I know exactly what you mean. I hated it at first because I was so close-minded about sci-fi. But I did indeed like it after the romance kicked in! - Nina
8-25-13  2:34 P.M.	8-21-13 Ellie’s Blog The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo	I know how you feel! I am such a slow reader. And volleyball does make it hard to get all my homework done. Especially reading! But if I do find a book that is "catchy" I honestly can't put it down!
9-28-13 1:29 P.M.	9-22-13 Ellie’s Blog Allie’s Thoughts	I really like how it doesn't flat out say, "My parents were killed by a drunk driver" it takes small pieces and shows the reader instead. The second paragraph is really sad too, but it attaches the reader to the character. I really want to read your short story when you write it.
8-28-13 1:25 P.M.	8-23-13 Claudia’s Blog Character Before Sleep	What a great idea! And "He's number 32, such a cute number" Can't wait to see your short story.
8-18-13 5:58 P.M.	8-14-13 Maddie’s Blog MY TERRIBLE WEEK :(	I know how you feel... I'm having a pretty wretched week as well.
9-25-13 2:13 P.M.	9-25-13 Maddie’s Blog (Not Titled)	I love the tone of voice this has. I can imagine your voice saying it. I saw a raccoon at a plantation and it scared me so much! It was eating dog food and ran right towards me! I ran for my life.
8-5-13  7:28 P.M.	8-2-13 Wonderer and Ponderer  Reading and Working	Kaylin, I think it is very neat that you are furthering you're reading into social studies. What is your topic? Love reading your posts, Nina.
