I can not believe this weekend. I was so tired that I almost passed out. Unfortunately my friends and I did not pass our tests. I know right this sucks. But Tobin passed his test and my sensai commented on how well I taught him. Now we were supposed to have the nice sensai do our test. But no we got some body worse a lady sensai who is really mean. My friends and I were complaining cause we had to role on the hard tile floor and we were bleeding. My head almost split open and I split my elbow open a bit and it is bleeding like crazy. I almost broke some shoulder bones on both sides of my shoulders. Also I almost split both of my patellas in HALF. And I have lots of bruises. So basically I had a rough weekend and I had to wake up at 6:00AM!!! That was on the night of Terrence's party.

AIKIDO TESTING FOR BLUE BELT!!!!!!!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

This Sunday my friends and I have this really big Aikido test. And Tobin is going to be doing his first test. Now we all know that Tobin is deaf and the other sensais have allowed me to help him through the test. I have tought him what my sensai has taught me. I took this test already and I have 2 more until I am a Blue BELT. Which is a big thing for me here since I am going to be leaving soon. I am thinking that I might or might not be a Brown Belt but I will be close to getting the Brown Belt. I will be doing both tests that I need to do to get a Blue Belt and if me and my friends pass we will all be Blue Belts. See Keegan, Kayleen, Tristan and I are all at the same level basically. Except they all need to do one test and I have to do two. So if you were counting that is three tests that I have to do. With Tobin I have to do the first test with him. And if I pass both of my tests and get my Blue Belt I will still stay and help Tobin when I can. My sensai wants me to progress but he says that I teach Tobin really well. Frankly I am scared cause I don't want to fail. And I don't want Tobin to fail either.

I am currently reading Dante's Inferno. It is a book by Dante Alighieri. Although Dante's Inferno has another name. The real name is The Divine Comedy. It was originally written in Spanish. My mom has read it and I am reading volume 1 and I am on Canto 3(Canto being the chapters). This book is so hard. The book is like College stuff. And I am losing my mind. I just got the Hunger Games and my goal is to finish it this week. which leaves me 3 days. Wish me luck. I can read books fast. I read Black Beauty in 3 days while traviling in a car. I got sick. I read like 15-20 chapters before I went to sleep everynight. There is this game on a website called Addicting Games. And if you go on there you search for Interactive Buddy. Now in this game you can not kill him but you can shoot throm gernades and annoy him. I have played this game and it is fun. Now you can change what he looks like. Which is a cool feature but you need to buy it. The only way to get mony is to attack buddy and your money will increase but you need to keep on atcaking otherwise you will run out of money.Sometimes he might pick up a gernade a nd question what it is. Then it will blow up and he will go unconsious. You can use explosives, god powers, hand, ojects. Skins is how you can change what buddy looks like. Try it the game is fun to play.

Kay I do not know what to say oh I know!!! So I have been reading this book called Maximum Ride. And it is by James Patterson who famous for his Alex Cross series. I am on the first one and it is so good. There are 6 kids. But not ordinary kids. They are mutants. But not like X-Men or any of them. They can fly but they are not witch's they do not have superpowers. Even better they have WINGS!!!!!!! I was shocked. But this is not about me.

It all started when an old lady got hit in the head with a baseball. Then there was a guy who was struck by lightning on a golf course during a storm. Then there was Angeline's rich uncle. What are these connections I will now tell you. It is the work of Voodoo. Black magic. Each one of the victims received a voodoo doll explaining how they died three days before they actually died. But here it is Mr. Monk is trying to figure out the real connections. Angeline was taking care of her uncle when he died but she did not watch him have a heart attack. The heart attack that is how he died.Or is it we are going to find out. There is a suspect that has a voodoo shop. And his name is Reverend Jorgensen. But get this he is not the bad guy. He just sells the stuff. And things go critical when Natalie Mr. Monk's assistant gets a voodoo doll. With it showing that her head is going to be cut off. Natalie is afraid of voodoo because of her last encounter with it. But in the end it was Angeline cause she was a paramedic and she was the paramedic who was there when the people died. She could go into their houses and place a voodoo doll to make it look like actual voodoo. Monk figures this all out because Jorgensen said that she had bought some voodoo dolls from his shop. And at this time Natalie was in the ambulance with the Angeline cause she had drank some voodoo potion that Jorgensen had made. Turns out that Angeline wanted her uncle dead so that way she would get the money the other two people were just Red Herring's. Angeline was going to kill Natalie because she was thinking that Monk was close to figuring out that it was her. That is why she went after Natalie. But thankfully Natalie is still alive and Angeline is in jail. Good ending don't you think.

This sucks I have recently been told that I have sines infection that I have in my nose and that my throat is red on the inside and that white spots are starting to appear in in my throat as well. So yesterday was when I went to the doctor. Apparently I am contages to some people. But I am not so sure about that. It makes me sad that I just keep on getting sick. I am really getting tired of this whole sickness thing. But there was an upside I got to finish 1 of my many new Xbox 360 games called "Call of Juarez:Bound in Blood". It took me under an hour to finish it. Cause my dad and I have been playing it ever since we got our Xbox 360 last month. I am also working on "Call of Duty 2 Modern Warfare". I have beaten 6 missions already. Soon here I have to start Halo 3 and many others. Mostly war and gun fighting games and fighting games. Being sick is no walk in the park. My dog gets annoying after a while cause he always wants attention. But I am going to go outside and take him for a walk. My mom has been saying not to go outside because I could get other people sick or I can get even more sick and catch something else as well. I am going to school when I am sick and people tell me that I shouldn't. But I still do. My mom doesn't want me to fail 6th grade. And I will not let that happen.

Softball Tryouts Today

Today after school the softball tryouts are next and I hope that I make the team. My dad has been practicing with me and he says that I am really good and that I am going to make the team. But I am really nervous and scared. The possibilities are endless of what can go wrong. First of all I am afraid that it will start raining and then we won't be able to do anything and I would have to wait for like 3 hours for the 5:00 late bus. And I do not want that to happen. I brought I have improved and that I will do great and make the team. My dad agrees with me but I am not so sure. I do not want to disappoint my parents cause my dad plays softball and my mom doesn't. My mom says that it is good to try new things. And I think that she is right. The wind is starting to pick up now and the clouds are becoming darker than before. I fear the worst but I will have to try and succeed. My dad has taught me well and says that I am almost better than him. He says that I might be able to help the guys on his team including him. Well wish me luck.

They haven't appeared in a while but she is still worried that she may see them there. But when her father talks to her she changes her mind and decides to go. Before she is about to go Javed's family maid comes and asks her if she can take the bag to Javed. the bag was so heavy that when she got on the train she started thinking that there might be a bomb in the bag.

My Book that I am Reading

The book that I am currently reading is called "The Fourth Horseman". It is an interesting book that will probably catch your eye in a the school library. But there is only one copy and I am reading it. I have been reading The Fourth Horseman since the 7th of December 2009. So far I am on part three. This book has many science references and many more. This book is about a girl named Laura. She is 13 years old. She has 1 little brother named Alex. He is 10. They both play cricket and are excellent at it. Alex also does Akido which is a defensive martial art. I should know cause I take akido classes. In Alex's class there is his best friend Javed. They think that he is hiding something. They later find out. They have a dog named Randall. About every year they apparently have a family row. Which is a cricket match between family and friends. It is always fun but not for Randall he has to be tied up but he gets perks like plenty of food scraps. The rest about the book is to read it yourself but I will tell you this the Horseman come and they see them but what they plan to do is unknown.
