Weekly Blog #24: Project Crazy

Hello 'Ilima

     This week was kind of crazy. First of all, we had two different projects. First was the avid career project which I don't know if I mentioned, and a campaign poster for Social Studies. The campaign poster was for the two different sides of the 1874 election in Hawaii between Kalakaua and Queen Emma. I chose Kalakaua and I think my poster turned out pretty nice. This week, also had two friend birthday. Those people were Reese and Riselle so two days before, I had to buy gifts. I went to Pearlridge and I bought Riselle a Sanrio shirt and I got Reese a Bath and Body Works gift box. To describe the embarrassment of carrying around a Hello Kitty bag around public would be crazy. Another thing is, I finally received a jacket that I had been waiting months for. The jacket was from my favorite band, Good Kid. This week, we also had a lot of substitutes for classes. The AVID sub made us think the project was due earlier than we thought it was, but it was just a misunderstanding. On Friday, I literally almost missed the bus. I was walking around the campus as usual and I noticed my friend get up to start leaving. I realized that the bus must of been there so I had to run across the whole courtyard to get to the bus. I was so exhausted when I finally got on the bus, but I couldn't have missed that bus. Overall, this week was pretty crazy.

     A highlight from this week was seeing my friend's reactions to the gifts I got them. It took me like 30 minutes of walking around the mall to find the right gifts so I was super happy that they liked the gifts. Another highlight was getting the jacket after waiting since November. I was super excited getting the jacket and I am definitely gonna try find a way to wear it often. A lowlight from this week was having all of the subs cause I like my original teachers and having other teachers is lame. Another lowlight was almost missing the bus because if I had missed it then that would have been terrible. But this week was more positive than negative.

     The lesson I learned from this week is to never be afraid to ask for help. I have two examples from this week, one where I did ask and one where I didn’t. I was having trouble with my math homework and I decided to ask for help which allowed me to understand the work. The other example is that when shopping for gifts, I didn’t know what to get for Reese and instead of asking one my friends who knows Reese well, I just guessed but luckily she liked the gift. So asking for help will usually give you better results then if you don’t ask for help. 

      This week had a lot of good magic notes, and some newcomers, so let's see who comes on top. In our honorable mentions we have.............. Cherish and Valerie! This was their very first magic notes, and I think they did a great job. The winners for this week are........... Riselle, Reese, and Jewelyn! All of your magic notes were really cool and I enjoyed reading them. Our new leaderboard is looking like Jewelyn w/12, Reese w/9.5, Gabby and Riselle w/4.5, Mal and Zhalea w/3, Naomi, Dominic and Jayden w/2, Jayna, Cherish, and Valerie w/.5, and everyone else with 0.

Hello 'Ilima As I lay down on my bed, my phone starts ringing.  "Hey, it's John from the Book Club! Are you ready for the first meeting?" Oh no! I panic. When I first moved in, there was an advertisement for a book club and I decided to join it. The first meeting would be today and I would need to talk about a book I recently read. I looked around my house, trying to find the right book to talk about, but none of them stood out. None except "2425", I grabbed the book, got dressed, and dashed towards where the book club was being held.  "Hello everyone! Welcome to the first meeting of our book club. I hope you are all ready to share your books" John said, sitting from his spot in the group circle. After the first couple of people shared their books, it was then my turn to share. I took a deep breathe and then began talking. Summer: After 7th grade ended, there was a short break where we could relax before it was time for Bridge to start up again. Un...

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...
