Today I had a meet at Beverly Park. I wasn't really looking forward to it because it was going to be really muddy and lots of people might lose their shoes or slip and fall. But the mud wasn't that bad. We were competing against BHMS Bloomfield Hills Middle School. There were 150 kids on their team!!! That's a ton of people. First went the boys there was a BH runner right behind our best runner (Sam) but Sam got first place.After all the boys went it was the girls turn. BCS came in 1st,2nd and 3rd. I got 12th place and I beat my old time by about 45 seconds!! My time was 17:22, a new personal best. I didn't feel very good after the race I could barley swallow and I was coughing a lot. As I sit here I feel so good about my run, I'm just very, very tired.

Today was my mom's birthday. Actually her birthday is Monday, but we are celebrating today. We gave her a bunch of presents. After we decorated the dining room we sang her "Happy Birthday" and I played along on my cello. After that we took some pictures and mom blew out the candles. We ate some cake, but not too much, we didn't eat supper yet. For supper we're having spaghetti with Italian sausage because the long noodles represent a long life. (I don't remember a birthday without spaghetti) Then I played with flying Scissors! Flying scissors is a game I invented with Ania yesterday. We attached string to the scissor handles then we put it on my hanging bar. When we pulled the strings the scissors would move up and down and forwards and backwards. When they went all the way to the top they would open.

Today we had a cross country meet and everyone in cross country got dismissed early because we were riding a bus. I got all of my stuff and went to the locker rooms to get into my jersey. When I looked in my bag I found out that I forgot to bring my running shorts. I was freaking out because you can't run in leggings. One of my friends said I could borrow her mid-length leggings. they only go just below my knees so it wouldn't be too long. When I got on the bus I sat with Megan. At the meet, the other team (Orchard Lake Middle School) didn't have any 6th graders so we were racing against ourselves. Since me and Grace J. are almost the same speed we ran together until just before the end. I was so close to Lira that I started sprinting trying to beat her but I just could not catch her. In the end I was 2 seconds slower than her. My time was 18:15 minutes. It was a difficult course.

Tomorrow I have a test in math class and before I was kind of nervous about it. I didn't understand the concepts that well so I didn't think I'd do good on the test. But I studied a lot so now I think I'll do good. Also I have a cross- country meet at Orchard Lake Middle School and this is my last meet away from out home base. (Beverly Park)

10 minute writing for September 29

I was 7 and in the first grade and was walking into Geepers with my dad when I accidentally ran into someone. I turned around to apologize to her and I gasped "Deena?" "Yep, that's me, hey Shin Be!"  "So did you just get here?" I asked her "Yes, not 5 seconds ago." She replied. In my head I was thinking how we always see each other everywhere, at the mall, at the library, even once at Cedar Point! Then we went up to the front desk to get my tickets and Deena did the same. (96)

Now we were on the tall indoor roller coaster in Jeepers after play about 20 games and using up about half of our tokens. Now I went with my dad and Denna because Deena's dad didn't want to go on it. Now it goes about 4 or 5 stories high with about 30 twists and turns. This was my first time on it so I was kind of scared. I remembered last year when I went to Cedar point and I rode a really scary roller coaster (I can't remember the name right now) that was super-duper high with a lot of dips. I was scared then but I did it anyways. So like magic my fear went away and I wasn't scared anymore. So as the car slowly chugged up the hill I was smiling in ancipitation for the drop that was going to come next. (147)

Cross Country

If you don't know I run Cross Country, and a couple days ago I had a meet. On that day, Sarah had broken her elbow the day befor so she couldn't run. Which ment we only had 5 6th grade girl's running. That was the bare minimum of runners. So I waited until they said ready set GO! That day were vs. Birkshire. I made one new friend from the other team. So I was running and I thought to myself, hey I'm doing pretty good.

Yesterday, I went to the mall with my parents to but some new shoes for when I go to Washington D.C, so we went to Sears and went to the shoe's isle. There were so many formal shoes to choose from. Should I pick heels or flats? Black shoes or blue? Sparkles and flowers or plain? I decided I wanted black flats that were plain. Now the hard part was finding some shoes that were flats. Then when a got a 10 shoes that were all flats I narrowed it down to 3 pairs of shoes, the ones that were black. Then got it down to 2 shoes, one had a small black flower at the tip of each toe with a plastic gem in the middle. The other one was black with no designs. I chose the plain black pair of shoes, then afterwards we went out for lunch at Taco Bell. Then it was time to go home.
