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.

Cookies

My first recipe:

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 sticks butter
3/4 cup brown sugar-tightly packed
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (Trader Joe's are the best)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix everything thoroughly. Shape dough into balls and bake for 10-15 minutes. 15 minutes is the best for crispiness. Let them bake and enjoy!

Weather

Weather here has been..weird here lately. A couple of weeks ago it was 90 degrees, and the next day is was a LOT cooler. Right now, it's 52 degrees. My friend in CA says that it was 90 degrees too, and got a little cooler later. My other friend in CO says that THEY JUST HAD A SNOW STORM and a few days later it would be 78 degrees, ish. And it's rainy here, by the way. Cold and rainy, the worst weather you could have on a perfectly good Tuesday, and then the rain and coldness cam in and ruined. Oh well.

The Mile :(

On May 25, 2010, I will have to do the mile. In the year we have done 4 official miles, but our track is 1/3 a mile, so every time we run it three times in a week, we're doing a mile. My best time (so far) was 10:14. But this time, we found out that ALL of the upstairs homerooms will be doing the mile together. Last time I didn't bring water...and that was fall, so it was colder (luckily) and I survived. But with the heat wave we've been getting, it might be HOT or COLD, I do not know. But I know I'll HAVE to bring water anyway. But, they have a practice mile (not with all the homerooms)too. Forgot to tell you, AFTER we've done the real, with homerooms mile, we've done 4 miles. Not 6.

The iPad

Here, we have the iPad. We got it for our trip to South Africa, the l o o o o o n g plane ride, mostly. It's the funnest and coolest thing you will ever touch in your life time. There's about 100,000 apps, (I don't know the actual number) and MUCH more. My favorite apps are Soosiz, the picture of the little guy up there jumping for a coin,Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the picture of the pipes and water, and my third is, Sketch Book pro, the picture of the monster and the drawing tools. There are some more, but that's for another post. Oh yeah, plus you can watch TV shows and movies, play the piano, and look up everything on Safari. It's so o o o o cool!

Summary of Wednesday

Wednesday's summary:

Took the last leg of math MCAS, piece of cake!!! Ran two laps again, it was okay, I guess. Went home and relaxed for a while. Stayed up, delayed opening on Thursday. That is all.
