It is now 1 day to the show! Yes, the show is tomorrow!  What I did today: I went to school and had a half good day. The morning was hard, it was Math MCAS, so I had a hard time, then I took a walk outside and finished it. How will it be in high school? Find out in September! For now, find out finishing middle school, it has been a wild ride.

It is now 2 days to the show! What I did today: I went to school, then hung out with Julie. We played Candy Crush, we both did. Except, I have Candy Blast Mania, and Julie has Candy Crush Saga. I am at Level 165 on Candy Blast Mania, and Julie is at Level 322 on Candy Crush Saga. Then we watched half of Nailed It! and then I went with Mom to Youth Truth 2018 at the high school. It was a heartwrenching play, about how these kids were telling their social workers about foster care, and lasted about 45 minutes. After, I found out that the high school has a newsletter and a sports team called the Knights. How, I wish I could go there.

It is now 15 days to the show! What I did today: I went to school, in health, we did the cone drill. I did not beat my record of 19.55 seconds, but that's okay, because nobody in my class beat their record, here are the records I can remember for my class: 1st: Danny- 19.38 seconds 2nd: Richard- 19.55 seconds 3rd: Matthew- 19.89 seconds 4th: Maitreya- 21.03 seconds Fun fact: The first cone drill I did, my time was approximately 32 seconds, now I have 19! Big improvement. Then, I went to play Yahtzee with José, but we only got in like 3 rolls, because I had to go to OT. I didn't think I was, she told me on Monday that I had no OT today because she had an appointment. But it was a misunderstanding, she thought the appointment was at 1:45 pm, it turns out it happened at 8:45 am, and I have OT at 1pm on Thursdays. After school, I went to the center with George, and we were there the whole time, we researched Khan Academy, checked out the new K-8 school plan(at  building...

I won, and I congratulated everyone else. Then we were supposed to go to Treehouse for an event at 6pm that I go to every time. But it didn't happen. They will probably do it next week. The event is every Tuesday night, where the students from Smith College come over and help people with their homework. It just so happens that I don't get homework at my school; nobody does. Later on, they play Wii, they do games, and it is a great night. But, it didn't happen this week. But it was a great day, especially at school.

18 days to the show!

It is now 18 days to the show! What I did today: I went to school and had a great day. We watched the beginning of a movie called Akeelah and the Bee. It's about this girl named Akeelah who lives in a downhill part of LA, and goes to a not so fancy middle school. She prepares for the National Spelling Bee, and wins the school spelling bee. Then, she moves on to the district bee against 100+ students. She is very lucky, she has to be in the top 10 to move on; she places 11th getting a word wrong. This is not the end of it. However, the boy who placed 10th, his mother gives him a letter so he could know the word. Akeelah's mother watches outside the auditorium, and sees it happen. So she runs in and says that the boy cheated, so he is disqualified. Then the judges give Akeelah one more word to spell. She gets it correct, so she places in 10th and moves on. Then I went home, and saw George, we watched more of the movie. After that, I went to therapy, the last one I had at the o...

Welcome to the countdown to my show! There are 22 days until the preseason premiere of My High School Years! What I did today: I hung out with George, and took the first half of my 8th grade ELA MCAS. It was a hard working day for me. I beat George in Yahtzee. I didn't play it physically, I got the app!
