Thunder and Lightning

THUNDER
LIGHTNING
RAIN



It is POURING out right now, and I mean POURING!! You can barely see through the windows and the wind is ridiculous. The thunder is as loud as ever and lightning flashes. I JUST made it!! About 2 minutes ago, I walked through the door, when it wasn't pouring. I barely made. I just hope dad will make it home from work! Back with more news on this HUGE thunderstorm.

Countdown

I decided to make "countdown posts" until the last day of school.
Here's today:

23
There will be posts like this for the next 23 days! And then on the 23rd day will be a picture, so you know I have survived:

The first year of middle school
No AC upstairs or in the whole school
The kickball tournament with the team name O Trains (Let's hope we win)
D-R-A-M-A with a capital D
New friends, old friends
Nice teachers
Mean teachers
Weird teachers
Teachers that say "mine" like Myan
Ghost-looking teachers
AWESOME TEACHERS!!!
The Freedom Trail
A graveyard scavenger hunt
Saying, "Huzzah!" to the Loyalists and "Fie!" to the Patriots
The mile
Piles of projects and homework
AND THE AWESOMEST YEAR
EVER.

AC-Air Conditioning


In school, on the TOP FLOOR, we don't have air conditioning. In the whole school. For the past 3 days we've been in the 80s-90s. And our teacher told us that say, when it was 80 degrees, it would be 90 degrees upstairs, 10 degrees higher than the temperature outside. So on that 90 degree day, it was 100 degrees in our small, upstairs classroom.Feel free to feel bad.

The Mile - Part 2

The practice mile went on. My time was 10:55, not my best. My best is 10:14. There was supposed to be the mile "Fun Run" with music and everything. And the 8th and 7th graders got to have it. But they canceled it for the 5th and 6th. Because of the stupid bad allergy season. We all wanted to do the fun run, because people would be cheering us on, and there would be cool music. In our classroom we had the windows open, because our school has NO AC! And we're on the TOP FLOOR! Feel sorry if you wish. So anyway, we heard the music flowing into our classroom, and were really excited for the Fun Run. But, at the end of the day, right when we were about to leave the announcement came on, "The 5th and 6th grade Fun run is canceled and WILL NOT be rescheduled." We were all like, "Huh?" So in gym class we found out it was due to the bad allergy season. Oh well.
