Making Posters

I had no after school activities today, so I had plenty of time to do all my homework. I had a lot of homework to do, but when I finally finished all of it, Sophia called me. She is running for Class Representative, so I wanted to help her with her campaigning. She brought some poster paper over to my house and we started to make a poster. I came up with a motto for Sophia that goes like this, "Check the box for the Rep that rocks!". I took pictures of Sophia, printed them out, and glued them on the poster paper. We also wrote, "Vote 4 Sophia!". I hope Sophia will become Class Rep! Sophia also got to stay for dinner, which gave us more time to finish the poster; Sophia has to start campaigning tomorrow. I'm so excited for her :)


At school for P.E., we had swimming class. Everyone had to do a test where we have to swim as many laps you can for 5 minutes... no stopping. So now I'm really tired. I swam 10 laps (250 meters) in 5 minutes today. 


I really want to find out what cabin I will be in for 5th grade camp!! I really hope I'll be in the same cabin as my friends. :P

Peer Helpers

At school today, we learnt about a program at our school called Peer Helpers. Only 5th graders can become Peer Helpers. A Peer Helper is someone who does tours of the school for parents new students who are entering our school. A Peer Helper can also help monitor recess for the 3rd graders. So if an argument happens during recess, a Peer Helper will help out. I really want to be a Peer Helper, so I'm trying to convince everyone to vote for me for a Peer Helper! But, I also wanted to run for Student Council and unfortunately, nobody can be both a Peer Helper and be in Student Council. So I made my choice and after all, I want to be a Peer Helper instead!

When I finished my homework, I went out night-swimming with my friend Niki. We did obstacle courses and we did competitions and talked and played games. But we didn't get to spend much time with each other at the pool because Niki had to go back home to do some unfinished homework. So I just stayed behind and swam a few laps, and now I'm really exhausted! I'll definitely sleep well tonight...

Swimming

I finally got to swim in the pool I always love to go to! I went there with my friends, Frances and Katy. We didn't do much swimming, because it was much too hot to actually swim and exercise... I'm sure if I swam a couple laps, I would have started sweating in the pool immediately because of the hot sun!! So we just sat by the pool, planning my birthday party that will happen on August 22nd... I can't wait!!!!

And mommy said I can have a sleep over with Frances and Katy on August 21st, the day of my real birthday, and one day before the party, so they can help me prepare everything!

After swimming, I rushed to take a warm shower, since I was suddenly cold again after walking in the air-conditioned, freezing cold lobby. Almost as soon as I got out of the shower, Frances and Katy had come over. We spent all our time on the computer, making my birthday invitations even better, and planning out what we would do on the day of the party. OOoooooohhh!! I really, really can't wait!

Atrium Mall

I just came back from another mall called Atrium Mall. But this time I didn't do any shopping-- Atrium Mall has a really good bookstore called Borders Bookstore. It's very big and there are chairs and sofas all around the bookstore, which is great because I can just pick a book and sit down somewhere and read! I found a series of books called The Clique. I started reading a couple chapters and really enjoyed it, so I bought the first two books in the series. They are called The Clique, and Best Friends For Never.

Since today is extremely hot and humid, mommy, daddy, Wesley, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Jon and I will be going to a club called Wedgewood. At Wedgewood, you can swim, dive, play tennis, play basketball, play four-square, have barbecues, and many others. When I go to Wedgewood, I usually just play tennis with Wesley and then go swimming with him.

Since I got a new watch, whenever I want to check the time, I'm always like, "Huh? This isn't my watch... my watch is blue not pink!" And then I start remembering about yesterday... I hope I get used to this new watch soon!!

Gotta go get ready for Wedgewood now XD
