This year was fast. And when I say fast, I mean you didn’t even see the end coming (though really it is ‎cold and doesn’t feel like summer). My favourite thing of the entire year was going to Me-To-We and ‎seeing the Dalai Llama. This was easily my most favourite thing of the year. We saw many famous ‎artists, and advocates for human rights. Well, to sum up this year, we had lots of fun, and made the ‎last year of elementary school a thing to remember

Meh, the last few weeks have gone by fast, I think that our trip to the sledge hockey game was just ‎yesterday.‎
Well I spent the few weeks just mucking around and daydreaming, though I did pay some attention. ‎The week after the break was scary, we had the dance teacher and I do not like learning how to shake ‎my hands, so easy it’s silly. Our song was some “tribal dance” thing. It sounded more like Taco pants.‎
The most memorable moment I can remember at the moment is when our buddies came ‎scrapbooking with us. My buddy was completely distracted and just started staring at the wall. When ‎coloring he would completely forget what he was doing, it was funny trying to bring him back to ‎earth. ‎

We got to see a video of our performance; I was embarrassed due to me being visible ¾ of the time. I ‎made a few obvious errors because I wasn’t paying attention. Then we got to see a younger brother ‎of one student dancing. That was funny. ‎
Soccer, the most played sport in the world. At school we play grade 7 vs. Grade 5/other. Even though ‎the little dudes tend to have 5-1 ratio against us, we tend to win do to how rough we play the game. A ‎few grade fives have decided that it would e fine to shove, kick, punch, grab… the grade 7 students; ‎this is not a smart move. After stealing the ball from one kid, he decided to kick me. I asked him ‎‎“What was that for?” and he just kept kicking me. This did hurt, and I was getting mad, so I punched ‎him square in the nose. A duty teacher had been watching the whole thing unfold, and took the now ‎crying kid with her and sent me back to class.‎
Meh, it’s Friday, and I want to finish up and leave. Later!‎

Well to add to the boring week I had lots of time to ponder the mysteries of the world. Recently I ‎have become fascinated with folklore, mythology, and Religion.‎
To me all of these have the same base. Some people going “Hey I think something just created us.” ‎Then another person said “No I think…” And thus religion was born. Well of course you can’t have a ‎creation story without a background story, and thus created mythology. Let’s look at Christianity, they ‎made a person named Jesus, (likely a real person, which was kind and helped people.) Jesus went ‎around helping people and created a basis of a religion. It is likely that Jesus himself had no idea that ‎a religion was being created with him at the core. It is likely the same with many other religions. ‎Some hero being hailed as a god or the son/daughter of one.‎
Folklore can come in many forms; a local legend is the most common. A local legend has the habit of ‎becoming a large legend when a tribe or village comes into contact with another village for trading or ‎war the legends spread and exaggerate.‎

Uneventful, Boring, Humdrum (Weird word right?), Run of the mill (Huh?), Mediocre, All the words ‎that can describe my week. ‎

First we started our week with an art project where we designed a snowboard. That was about all the ‎interesting things.‎

The Olympics! Now that was fun, those two weeks. One the first week we had a gold per day, that ‎was cool. The big game, the game that all of Canada watched. The game was so tense that there was ‎screaming, cheering, and chanting, though we were in Maui. Never before had a sport game been so ‎tense, and when the American scored we were booing him like no to morrow. Then Crosby scored ‎and we started cheering! When we walked to the pool proudly wearing our Canada shirts. An ‎American opened his window and started swearing at us. We just laughed at him. A Canadian drove ‎by and started cheering with us. This proved our theory that half of Vancouver was in Hawaii. ‎

Well the olympics werwe fun, but now thats undone. Now the paralympics are here!

The week of multitasking. I have gone curling for the last time this week. Curling was more ‎fun this time. We played a game, and our team won. The player on the team that you would not ‎expect was the one that scored the point. She knocked a rock into the house, hitting the opposing ‎team’s rock out of the blue ring and ended up about five centimetres closer than the blue rock. (That ‎actually isn’t that much.)‎
For science we did a cool thing with pendulums. We put a bottle on a string and filled it ‎different levels to see how many times it would swing in fifteen seconds, and how long it would ‎swing in total. We also rolled soup cans down the hall, which was a very fun experiment. The soup ‎cans rolled about 10 metres on average, but a few rolled around 20 metres.‎
We have the Olympic wiki, which now has three podcasts ready to be embedded. Ms. W ran ‎into a problem with the bandwidth amount allowed to be put on the wiki and how much we want to ‎use. Now we have to upgrade the wiki to the super plan. For our wiki we have Mandarin, Korean, ‎English, and we have Dutch waiting to be recorded. For the wiki we are trying to put a PowerPoint, a ‎few paragraphs, two or more podcasts, some links, and a few pictures. All that my group needs is the ‎podcasts embedded and the PowerPoint done. We are happy with our progress due to the Olympics ‎being in one week.‎
Our buddies want to have some fun with Valentines, but they didn’t have any bags to put the ‎Valentines in! The disaster was averted by calling in our class to help them make bags. My buddy just ‎randomly pasted stuff on his. It was amusing to watch him have fun.‎
Well, I have wrapped up the stuff in my memory for the week right now. Let’s wait till next ‎time ‎

‎ Monkey Out.‎

Our week was mostly uneventful until our little buddies came on Wednesday. The Buddies came with ‎troops of mascots to play games on to their hearts content. Well the teacher had to intervene ‎and get a coloring page. We were to teach the little ones how to say and know each of the mascots ‎but my buddy already knew them. Good for him.‎
