Billy.

Billy. "Take a Picture, it'll last longer". That's his name. Billy.

Billy is a 9 year old Dennis the Menace, who is on my bus. We're buds. I used to sit with him on my first days of school, before I got promoted to the back, where I now dwell. Sitting with Billy was an interesting experience. Every day I listened to his stories of how he got lunch detention, or how he made farting noises at his teachers. Billy could talk for hours. He is a bundle of talking energy. Now I always had to sit on the outside, because Billy could not be trusted to be on the outside. Despite my efforts to help him be a good boy, Billy got sentenced to wear the safety belt. (Which is another thing about NJ. They have safety belts on their school busses. Hmm.). Billy soon found my weak spot (Wet willies and yelling, which he doesn't seem to be afraid of. Another hmm.) Jade (a very very VERY good friend of mine) got me out of my misery, and asked Nancy (the busdriver) if I could sit in the back with her. Nancy's response was "Of course, if you wanted to sit bck there this whole time, I would have moved you." Oh man! I would've gone back a long time ago if I had known this. Oh well. It was too late now.
Being in the back of the bus is so much fun. I've got all my friends back there, who all love to do fun and crazy things. It was like Wonderland. There's Taylor, who loves giving us the drama. Brittany who gives the music. Eric, who gives the comedy and yelling. Daimen (he's like 8) gives his smile and giggles. Matt, who loves telling the crazy stories. And me, who gives the laughter. We all together make up the back of the bus, and let me tell you, it rocks.
Today we got a new member added to our little family. That's right. Billy. I decided today that I am going to write a book about him. He is very hard to explain, but once this book is written, you will see what mean. I'm sure that this will not be the last that you hear of Billy.
Even though he drives me insane, he is really funny, and loves to make people laugh. We are buds.

Grading Time!

It's that time of year again! The first report cards go out! I hope everyone back home did great! I was very suprised to open mine and see all A's! I was very happy. I thought that I wouldn't have done as good as I did. I hope it was that way for all of them.
In Social Studies we are learning about the battles of Lexington and Concord. Mr. Bolland showed us a video called "April Morning". It was a REALLY good movie! I cried at the end. I love those stories from that time period. I think that they are my favorite of all. If you want to see what the battles of Lexington and Concord were like, then I HIGHLY recommend them. I also recommend the book, "The Secret of Sarah Revere" by Ann Rinaldi. Ann Rinaldi is a GREAT author, and I love all the books of her that I have read, especially "The Secret of Sarah Revere". It is like the inside story of Paul Revere through the eyes of his daughter Sarah.
Hope your report cards were good, and keep them up :)

Have a Happy Halloween :)

Hello All, I know that it has been a long time since I have posted, and I am very sorry. The reason for me not writing is because I have been very busy. That's right, I'm busy. I've been playing field hockey for a regional team of hockey lovin' girls, who will also go to Seneca, so I will be playing with them next year. Sadly, it ended on Sunday.

School has been good. Mrs. Levy keeps us working all day and all night. She really is a great teacher though. ALL my teachers are good teachers! I feel like I fit in now. I think that being the new kid and all, I was a mystery to them, and they wanted to check me out before they really got to know me. They have never had a new girl before, so this was a new concept for them. My friends are great people. There's Jade, who is by far the nicest one towards me so far. She is really creative, and has a great sense of humor. Sarah is also my friend and is really smart, artistic, and has a great sense of style. Jon reminds me of Spencer from iCarly. Enough said. There are others of course too. No one has been mean to me, or I guess in other words, no one is not my friend. The bus ride is my favorite part of the day. Since we are the "older kids," we get to sit in the back, (we have assigned seats,). It's great. We're all blasting our music, singing and dancing, and listening in on all Matt's gossip, and comedy segments.

Halloween was awesome. Sarah invited Jade, Veronica and me to go trick-or-treating with her in the back of her dad's power-wagon through Chatsworth. I dressed up as a scarecrow, Veronica a bumble bee, Jade an 80's girl and Sarah as Pippy Longstocking. We got TONS of candy! People even handed out cans of soda!?! We ran into Nick, Kalinah, and Taylor on our way too.

November is here, and I hope you have a great month! I hope to keep this blog more updated!
