Problem...Solved!

They gave us the buses. The night before I had been at a meeting about the situation, but they hadn't decided. The next day they gave us a permission slip for anyone who wanted to use the buses, but they still haven't given us the buses. I think they're just working out the schedule. Well that's all I wanted to say to not keep you hanging anymore.

WE NEED BUSES!

Today I went to my first protest. I had to wake up at about 8:30 am. Ugh. I woke up,went downstairs,  and made posters. I went to City Hall and started protesting. By the way we were all protesting for buses for kids going to the high school Saint Josephs, since my school Harry L. Bain was being demolished and rebuilt. At first I thought that the mayor was going to come out but after a while my Dad explained that we were here for publicity. That if we attracted attention to the cameras other people would see our situation and that would put pressure on our mayor and we had him. Also, I ask you to help us. Tell your friends and family. If enough of you pitch in we all can win and we will get our buses.

London

August 21, 2014

 I  had just arrived in London and I was tired. Although I just wanted to fall asleep I couldn't because I had a long day ahead of me. First, I went to Shakespeare's Globe where I saw one of his plays, Antony and Cleopatra. I watched for a bit then fell asleep. Later, I went to Cabrera Infante's house where I met his wife, Miriam Gómez. The house was filled with books. There was shelf that reached the ceiling. She also had a stack of movies. Again I fell asleep until we had to leave at which point she recommended we ate in a restaurant where Lady Di used to eat. It was an Italian restaurant called Da Mario. E.O.T.D( End of The Day)

My First Book Review

Guess what...chicken butt. Joking. Actually I wanted to tell you that I was asked to write a review for a Penguin book. I hope you enjoy it and comment it.:

Matt London’s first book of the series of “The 8^th Continent” is a mix of two very important subjects: ecology and freedom through a new land. Evie Lane and her brother Rick live in a trash-filled planet in which rules “rule.” They decide to search for the Eden Compound, a liquid that transforms garbage into natural materials, to create an 8^th continent that shall allow them to escape their horrid world of absurd rules. In their journey they must face their advantaged arch-nemesis, Vesuvia Piffle, who wants to use the Eden Compound for her petty needs. In their adventures they must help Dr. Grant, their dad’s partner, find the ingredients for the formula and think quickly to break loose of Vesuvia’s grasps of doom!  I love how Evie and Rick stop for no one, and they are as determined as mosquitos are to suck your blood. Evie always comes up with wacky plans and is very adventurous. In a way, their quest to a new land of freedom for them and the animals seems to mirror the Pilgrims’ journey to America. Everything ends happily ever after…until the next book. London’s imagination makes the reader cling to the book like there is superglue on their fingers.

Hallelujah

    Only eight more days till I am freed from school's grasp of torture. Even we aren't there yet I am still happy. Today I sold Smelly Pencils, which is something I like to do. Since today is Wednesday the whole class went to gym. There we played scooter polo. Scooter polo is like water polo, but in scooter polo you play on a scooter instead of in the water. After that I went to science where I found out I got a glorious 100 on my final exam and a 94 on a mini quiz. Later I went to math where Mr. Amaya showed me I got a 94 on my final exam. He also let us play on the computers. I went to lunch, ate pizza, and played freeze tag. In class I had to work in my social studies workbook. It counted as a grade. My teacher told me, when I finished, that my grade for, social studies, that marking period was A-. The best news was that all we would do for the rest of the year was read for an hour and a half and watch a series called Liberty Kids for another hour and a half. Plus...

         NO HOMEWORK!!! This is seriously Hallelujah!

Just A Usual Day

Hi guys. Today was my average day, but my average day is awesome. At least to me. When I woke up I decided to put on my uniform, thinking it was early, to surprise my dad by already being ready. While I was getting out of bed Mamiloqui, my grandma, passed by my bedroom and saw me. She asked if there was no school today. I told her why would she think that. She said that it was 9:00 am and I am supposed to be at school at 8:30 am. I lowered my voice because I didn't want to wake up my dad. He might have gotten very, very, very stressed and when he gets stressed he gets angry. I went back into to my room, put on my clothes, grabbed my glasses, and ran down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs I put on my sneakers and walked to the kitchen. I drank my milk while my grandma wrote an apology letter to my teacher. I quickly brushed my teeth and ran out the door. When I got to school I went to the main office to get my late slip. As I climbed up the stairs I wondered if I was missing my special, computers, or if the students were still in the classroom doing social studies. I finally reached my classroom and to my relief they hadn't gone to special yet. The teacher was just happy to see that I wasn't going to miss a day of school. I removed a social studies textbook from the shelf and took out my notebook. I was only able to read a bit of what we had to read, in order to answer the questions, because the period ended. At computer class I had to write a biography on somebody that was influential in some way. I decided to pick Harry Houdini. I got distracted from my work when a kid told me that he found my blog, a video my dad posted on you tube on my birthday >:-(, and other things. After that I went to science and math. At lunch I made a part of a song with one of my best friends, Emily. Then, I watched "liberty kids". It is a series about two kids that report and take part in the time of King George and searching for a new government. As I watched "liberty kids" I did my favorite hobby that I do at school...FILING PAPERS! At the end of the day I went to peer, an after-school group that's about helping. When I got out at 3:45 pm my grandpa was waiting for me outside the school doors. I asked my dad if I could go to my grandparent's house and he said yes. Before getting to his house we went to the clinic in which he worked. Everybody was delighted to see us. I also saw one of my friends there. She is Daniela and she is studying to be a model. Afterward we went to his house. I ate mashed potatoes with salmon on the side. YUM! While eating my grandma told me a story about this girl that wanted Christmas in July and her Aunt gave it to her in some type of way. I had to do my homework too. My grandma had to help me with it. Later I went home. I played hangman with my mom. At the end of the day I wrote this and went to sleep.

P.S. Oversleeping is not part of my usual day.
