Today from 2:30 to 6:00 we had rehearsal for our trip to Washington D.C. Each time trough it took about 30 minutes to an hour to go through everyone's slide. At around 3:10 it was our turn to speak about the letter writing for 2 minutes. By (we my mean me and Ania) We did pretty good seeming that we practiced a lot. Then at about 4:00 to 4:10 we took a break to go out in the halls and get a snack and get some water. Then we did it another 2 times. The 2nd time we did it we forgot a big part of it. The 3rd time we did it almost perfectly expect I need to speak louder! Then at about 5:20 we went outside for a little bit to run around. Then at about 6:00 the meeting was over and it was time to go home. My dad picked my up at around 6:20. Overall I had a great day.

It was the afternoon on Sunday, July 1st. It was a couple weeks after my 9th birthday. It was a beautiful day to go swimming, sunny and hot. After lunch I begged my dad "Please dad please, can we go to the pool?"

 Now we live in a condo so we have a pool 1 minute away if we walked. 

"Ok Shin Be, go get ready"

 "Yes!!! Thanks dad! By the way could we invite Christina? We live right across from her?" 

Christina was a friend of mine just a year older than me. My birthday was on her half birthday and her birthday was on my half birthday. 

"Sure, I'll go invite her than I'll come back up to get you." 

"Great thanks" I was thinking, this is going to be awesome! So we walked to the pool with Christina and we found out that a couple people were already there. I remembering another time I was at the pool, I was 5 and my dad was teaching me how to swim and float on my back. There was just as many people there as there was now. "Come on, last one in is a rotten egg!" "You're on" So I ran and jumped right into the light blue, faint green pool making a huge splash of water land on Christina! The cool water felt refreshing after standing it the blistering hot sun. "Hey, I'll get you back!" So she jumped into the water splashing me back. "Ha, Ha!" So we were laughing and playing but we noticed that my dad disapeared for a while and when he came back he brought a cooler full of snacks. "Thanks Papa! I was getting really hungry!" "Thank you Mr. Felsner, I was also hungry!" Then it happened, right when we sat down to eat it the very far corner with a big cream colored umbrella. The big wicker chairs were also cream colored. The chairs were very big with tall handles and a back that be moved backwards and forwards. Christina and I could fit in one chair together and still have room. A big duck honked from a little outside of the pool gate. We weren't scared, becuase a duck never came inside of the gate anyways. The brown and green Mallard duck with its little ducklings waddling behind her. "1,2,3,4,5. 5 baby ducklings!" My dad said in amazement. "Wow, that a lot of ducklings, you don't think the momma will attack us do you? Christina asked. "If we don't tease the duck it won't attack us." In my head I thinking, oh no what if the duck does attack us. I think I'll just throw some bread at it. When at that moment the duck and its ducklings jumped the fence and started honking really loudly. The 5 baby ducklings were learning to swim the first time in this pool. That remembered again when I was learning how to swim and my dad was helping me just like the momma duck was helping the ducklings. Then the mom stopped helping them and started to honk at us getting right up in our face. The he duck was honking at every single person in the pool. Then for one reason or another, the duck started to come after us. At that moment, dad took a huge hunk of bread and cheese and held it right in front of the duck. "You want the bread?" my dad said. "Then go get it!" He threw the bread so far with a graceful arc, when he threw the bread. I had a thousand thoughts whirling inside my head. What would happen if my dad didn't throw it far enough or the duck didn't even want it. What if the duck still decided to attack us instead of going after the bread? I was still thinking about those things when I heard a honk. I looked up and saw the ducks waddling away from the pool probably thing about how mean my dad is.  I'm so glad that that idea worked because if my dad hadn't thrown that bread than those ducks would've pecked us. So right after the duck left we went back to having our snack. Of ham and a little more bread and cheese that he saved a little of so we could have a sandwich. After that it was getting late so we dropped off Christina at her house then we walked home and the whole time I was thinking about today and how I can't wait until tomorrow.

As soon as you walk into the Master Bathroom all you smell is the strong smell of wet paint waiting to be brushed onto the wall. Today my dad decided to paint the bathroom. I helped him throughout the day. Other than the painting I didn't do that much expect to go out and eat. We got nachos and chicken strips. So as soon as I got home I went straight outside and raked together a huge pile of leaves and jumped straight into them. It was a ton of fun, I was covered in the rainbow of colors such as red, yellow, orange, there was even some pink. Afterwards it was time for supper, then now I'm sitting here doing my AHW. Now that I think about it the day wasn't that boring after all.

One day in the world of Miracle land there was a nice fair queen whose name was Annabelle. Now everyone assumes that the queens name is Miracle but its not. Its named Miracle because of all the miracles that happen there. But there was one girl who was very different from everyone else. Everyone else is very lucky and gets a lot of miracles happening to them. But not this girl, her name is Anna. Everything bad that can happen will happen to her. Like this one time when there was this big french horn hanging on the ceiling for 200 years then it just happens to fall exactly on Anna and the French horn  was stabilized by 30 different metal chains and ropes. Then a porcupine shoots its quills right on Anna's face.

I also need to work on how loud I need to be. I'm trying not be get quiet and speak up when I talk. Also I'm trying to control my stage fright and not freeze up. I need a lot of work and practice to become as good as some people in Forensics. I know my lines the only problem is that I forget them when I go up on stage. I'm worried and confident at the same time. Worried I might mess up on my speech and confident that I going to practice as hard as I can.

I'm excited for Halloween becuase I'm going to be at Washington D.C. At D.C. We're going to present to a bunch of people about the steps it got to get to Peoject COPE. Ania and I are speaking about the BCS touchstone and letter writing. The only thing that I'm sad about is I can't spen Halloween with my family or go trick or treating. But we still get to bring our coustume and I'm deciding between a witch and a vampire. The witch has a black and silver dress with a huge hoop at the bottom, also I have a tall witches hat and a broom, that has long black and silver tinsel for the end of the broom. The vampire coustume has a long black dress with blood red ruffles and a large black velvet collar. I thinkI'm going to be a vampire.
