3 day school week wuuuut. Thanks giving took up two school days this week. This week was short. Period 4A worked the ID machine. Not much people came in this week. This week was sorta useless. They should have gave us the whole week off. We cant get anything done in three days. Whats the point?. Anyways, I'm thankful for my life. Without life, I wouldn't be here right now. I'm actually thankful for everything I have. On Monday, we had to tell Mr. Ing what we were gonna use our bookfair extra credit for. I used it for the days that the seventh graders that were apart of the AR problem and didn't get to work. I think I used all of my extra credits. I was gonna use it to finish the bottom bar for AR. The bottom bar is the struggle. I don't understand how i'm supposed to reach that bar. On Tuesday, since Mr. Ing said that there was going to be an alternative Secret Santa, and he was going to put the invitations in our cubbies, I checked my cubby almost every single time I stepped foot into A101. I was getting a little worried because I couldn't see an invitation in my cubby. Even worse, I didn't know how the invitation was supposed to look like. Gaah, the struggles. I tried making sure I get an invitation by keeping my grades up. I had all A's and B's and one C. I kept asking people "Do C's count?" then they said no. So I kept complaining and saying, "Then how did I not get a Secret Santa invitation?!". I searched and searched in my cubby. I didn't find it. On the day of the reaping (The day we drew names LOL), I found it in my cubby. That was on Wednesday. Wednesday was also PBS opt out. I opted out for 5 Ilima bucks. I wore my softball jersey. "And may the Secret Santa continue. May the odds be ever in your favor". After school that day, the people doing faculty and staff for the yearbook was supposed to meet at A101 after school so we could take picture of the team teachers. Only Khrizz and I showed up. That was not good. Jezrae and Sheila didn't show up. Now they created another problem and they can't do yearbook. When Khrizz and I walked to where the 8-2 teachers were having a meeting, they said no. They said no just because they weren't ready to take pictures, and because one teacher didn't have her hair done. When we took pictures for 7-3 teachers, Mr. Nishimura gave us skittles. I couldn't wait to go home. Four day weekend!. On Thursday it was turkey day. Like I said earlier, i'm thankful for everything that I have. After we went to the Thanks Giving lunch at my uncle's house, we went straight to Walmart at about 3 or 4:00. It wasn't that crowded, YET. I got a new laptop which is touchscreen, I got the 28 pack of sharpies, and I got a grey hoodie. The hoodie is really comfortable. I stood near the activity tables to get the Minnie Mouse table for my niece. I made friends with the girls that were trying to get the table for their little brothers or little sisters. Behind me was the leap frog tablets. There was a lady that was trying to get one for her daughter and one for the lady that was saving her spot in line for the iPad mini. I was tearing the plastic with my nails and making holes so the lady can easily get it when it turns 6:00. Once I heard screaming and tearing of plastic, I looked around and I seen everyone rushing. Since the Minnie Mouse table was all the way in the middle, this girl named Roxy helped me get it out because she was trying to get the same table. The other girls helped too. They lifted up the tables that was on top, and Roxy and I pulled two Minnie Mouse tables. That was good team work. After that, we all disappeared. I never seen them in the store again. I wanted to thank them for helping me get the table out but once I got my table out, they were gone into the blue. I was satisfied with what I got that day. On Friday, I did barely anything. I went to Kmart with my mom. Then went to Costco with my mom and dad.
The highlight of my week was going to the Thanks Giving sale at Walmart. It was so crowded. Body heat! When we left Walmart, there was a really long line going all around the parking lot. Just to get into Walmart!. Crazy!. I'm glad we got into the store at 4:00. We got in like regular customers. I found it fun standing in long lines, fighting over things, and being trampled on. I was so eager to use my laptop. My laptop is the HP Pavilion Touch Smart. People trample each other for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have, unreal. Well I trampled people on the day that I was being thankful (x. My parents spent about $500 dollars that day. I'm glad they decided to buy me a laptop. Exactly one year ago, on Thanks Giving, they bought my brother a HP laptop. But his isn't touch screen like mine ;). I'm very blessed to have parents like them.
Lesson learned was to be thankful for everything you have. Never regret anything. I'm thankful for such caring parents, and the best family ever. They're always there for me. They love me no matter what. They support me each step of the way. I love them to death. I am also thankful for my life. Without my parents, I wouldn't be here. They dealt with me for 12 years. They loved me for those 12 years. That's why i'm thankful for them. I am thankful for everything, from the little things that don't matter to the things that really count. I'm glad i'm alive and breathing. That's all i need to be thankful for.
