Ryan, you are my OPPOSITION. How dare you ask to RE-SPIN THE WHEEL. I WAS SAFE. I WOULD HAVE BEEN SAFE. 

So anyway, nothing I can do about it. Which means, the story begins.

Class

I walked into class, taking down Greg and my chair. I put my backpack down under my desk and got out my pencil case and English Notebook, then my Binder Reminder. I wrote down the schedule, I was just chilling, but little did I know, I would crash out like 10 minutes later. (I have a bad sense of time that was probably off.) Ryan read his blog, it was good and very detailed. After he finished, he decided to spin the wheel. He asked who wanted to do the blog, and Ezra raised his hand... and then Ryan took him off the wheel. Ms. Nakada spun the wheel, and it ALLLLLMOST landed on my name, but luckily it didn't. I was safe. Right? WRONG. He spun the wheel again because Grace wasn't on it. Surprise! It landed on me. I had a small crash out because I wanted to write the blog as close to February 27th as possible, Olivia's birthday. Whatever I guess:( 

I walked up to the blogging table after packing my stuff. I don't know why, but my heart was throbbing. It was fast and I felt anxious. I was just doing the blog, I've done it before. Why was my heart throbbing and my leg shaking? I decided it was just my mind, the mind is something very powerful. If your thoughts are negative often it'll leave a negative impact on you overall, and it works the other way around too. 

I sat down and began to write, I don't remember why this was brought up but we were talking about ICE doing raids and stuff. People will run from ICE, even if they have nothing to fear, it'll take their time and energy. We need to be allies. 

Lines

"No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark." That is what had been written on the board. Ms. Nakada showed us a video, it was the full(?) poem spoken. It had made my heart begin to shake and rattle again and my head kinda spin. I feel so bad for everyone having to run and leave their homes, fleeing and panicking. No matter what the cause is, no one should feel the need to run away or evacuate, especially if you're young. I think this weeks line's have been my personal favorite, out of this whole school year. I really hope it's all gonna be okay. 

Reader's Workshop

My mind has been like a race track, thoughts running through like cars. I'm not totally sure when this happened but the room got silent and everyone- well mostly everyone was reading. I need to catch up, UHM HELLO. Sorry, I was GONNA write that I need to catch up in my reading and finish the book but suddenly some really Jolly and Cheerful music started playing loudly next to me. I sharply turned to where the sound was coming from and looked up at Ms. Nakada. She quickly turned it off and apologized, so I wrote what just happened. 

I'm gonna start reading now, update ya'll later!😘

Hi chat, I'm back. So, I was reading and then Ms. Nakada handed me a paper... and then another one. It says on the smaller paper, "Complete this form and return to Ms. Nakada with your 8th grade dues donation by Friday, Feb. 7, 2025." So I'm sitting here like what donation.. guys I'm broke am I gonna donate the three dollars in my wallet??? I guess I'll just wait until she explains it. Back to reading I goooooo. 

So I glanced over at the small paper and saw, "Package 1: $125" WHAT. For a T-SHIRT? I could buy a whole outfit from Melrose with that budget bro. Smh.. (shaking my head). Oh hey Ms. Nakada is explaining the papers now!

Okay so she said they were gonna start celebrating us, YAY!

She just went through a list and I'm.... flabbergasted?? I understand the price now though. 

Update, we still get to participate in 8th Grade events, even if we can't pay. We just have to be academically alright. 

OH OH OH MY GOSH!! FRENCH FOOD!! YAY YAY YAY I LOVE FOOD!!!! THIS SOUNDS SO PULCHRITUDINOUS!! But they don't have crepes:( 

We talked a bit and Ms. Nakada said there's only about six kids who have to worry about walking the stage. I don't think I'm one of them, like actually I'm not but I still panic anyway. 

As Ms. Nakada talks I write, listening to what she says. I thought this semester was gonna be uneventful but NEVER MIND! 

"The end is near ya'll..." -Ms. Nakada. 

Miri said she was being bullied by Danny and Ms. Nakada said threats are no joke! My friends are so so so silly^^!

OH MY GOD THANK YOU MS. NAKADA. She said it feels like Friday and I TURNED TO HER SO FAST. OH MY GOD IT DOES. IT FEELS LIKE FRIDAY I SWEAR! DUDE. Well when I read it'll be Friday but wow. 

The class proceeded yapping until the bell went off. That's my cue, Bye bye pookies!

(Side note: why did I format this last part like this omg.)
