Weekly Blog #7: Everlasting Exhaustion



 Welcome ‘Ilima 

     This week, though short for some, has been tiring. First of all, I had a math test on the first period of the week and it was terrible. For one of the questions, I spent 5-10 minutes on because I went the long way. Everyone hated the test and some people were crying. I did get a good score so that’s good. Then on Wednesday, I almost had a heart attack. It was during the morning and I arrived in my room. I was just sitting and I realized I didn’t have my ID. I started to look around and I couldn’t find it. I called my parents and they said it was in the car. They started to drive back but they would come after the first bell rang. I was stressing out while waiting for them to come. It took a while but eventually they came and I got my ID. It was so stressful and I hated everyone moment of it. But there is some good news as the person I thought was leaving the school actually wasn’t. It was weird just seeing them at school when I thought they moved. On Friday, we had to do a tour for Campbell Teachers. Waking up at 5:30 was annoying but I was able to be active. We started by setting up the cafe and then greeting the teachers. It lasted for around 10 minutes and then Mr. Ing’s presentation started. He talked about the school and different aspects of it. After his presentation, we headed to our tour spots. I was paired with Jabeez and we gave a tour of the Band and Choir Room. I did the introduction and storage room and he did the Band and Choir Room. It was pretty fun and some of teachers called Jabeez cute. After the tour, we stayed on campus for a while and I got to use the skateboard again. I fell two times but that didn’t stop me from trying. What did stop me was Mal taking the skateboard from me. I got it back though and I actually did pretty good. Oh and I forgot to mention that in Science, we had to look at ice melt for 40 minutes. It was so boring but I guess we learn something. None of the other classes really have things to talk about as it was mainly just the same stuff. Finally, my Leadership period now has two mascots. William the Whale and Joseph, my daughter. They are a dynamic duo and will take over the world 😁

     A highlight from this week would have to be the tour because I had fun doing it and I got to use the skateboard afterwards. The biggest lowlight has to be the whole ID thing because it caused me so much stress and anxiety. Another lowlight would have to be the math test because why do we need to do a big math test on Monday morning. Finally, the last lowlight has to be watching ice melt for 40 minutes as it was just a waste of my life.


    Finally, a lesson I learned was to stay calm doing stressful situations. I thought I had already knew this, but having to go through the whole ID process was terrible. I was stressing out and I could think straight. So for future events, I would want me to stay calmer and focus on the important stuff. All that stressing just made me feel terrible and I hated it. This concludes my blog and I hope you have a great week. Cheers to another day!

Hello ‘Ilima You’ve been traveling on foot for the past couple of days now and you are starving. Your supply of water ran out and you are desperate for a resting place. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a wooden cabin. You knock on the front door and an old man answers your knocks. He had gray, curly hair and has a built stature. His eyes look tired and his hands look dirty. “Oh hello there, do you need anything?” You explain your situation and the man lets you in. He allows you to stay in his house for all long as you needed to. You wash up in his bath as he prepares you a meal. When you are clean, he gives you brand new clothing in order to be more comfortable. As you start eating the food, the old man asks you about your journey. You explain how you have been looking for a purpose in your life and went on a voyage to explore the world. “I think I have a story that can help you.” the old man tells you. You interest is piqued and you want to hear what he has to say. “It all start...

Weekly Blog 3-7 (60): Meeting of the Victors

Hello 'Ilima What is up ‘Ilima! This week of school was much more of a ramp up week as next week is the big one. But that doesn’t mean this week wasn’t full of stuff to do. The biggest school event would be the Graduation Meeting. During this meeting, parents would learn about the 8th grade graduation and learn about the different parts of the graduation. There wasn’t very much to do as a leadership member, but it was still good to hear about the information for my graduation. That was the only school event, but I still had a bunch of class work. First, we have had this project in Computer Science where we need to guide a robot from one point to another. This project has been pretty frustrating at times because the robot sometimes just doesn’t do what you want it to do. And it’s hard to make changes to your programming because we are sharing the robot amongst the whole class, making it difficult to see the changes you make. I wish we had multiple robots in order for us to be able t...

Weekly Blog 3-6 (59): Shopping for Tests

 Hello ‘Ilima What’s is up! This week was only 4 days long, but was still full of many things. Starting with Leadership related things, we had the second Recognition Night of the year on Thursday. There was a lot less people this time, but it was still fun to cheer on the people who got good grades. I had gotten a 4.0 and walking up on stage was cool. The most interesting part of Recognition Night was what happened before it as me and some people from Leadership had fun doing random things outside. We had a race, listened to music, and more. Moving onto school stuff, we had the Science SBA this week. I was pretty anxious because I had no idea what to expect for the test. So when I first opened the test, I was met with a lot of things that I had not learned before. But I endured the pain and after two classes, I finished my SBA with Level 4. It was a terrible experience, but at least I got a good score. Final thing I will mention is that there was an ELA poster that we had to create...
