Sorry
Sorry guys. I haven't been able to go on the computer for a while, due to a vacation in Mexico. It was really, really hot and humid, and it rained so much it started flooding the hotel. We didn't really do much, only a few things. The first day was chaotic, with the airport and the Spanish-speaking people who knew no English. I had a miserable night, because I had to sleep on a fold-out sofa with my evil sister kicking me. Anyway, the next day we went to the Mayan ruins, and I climbed the really tall and steep temple tower thingie. One piece of advice for you if you go: if it looks like it's going to rain, DO NOT climb it. It gets slippery, muddy, and un-enjoyable. The next day it rained, so we couldn't go snorkeling like we planned. It cleared up later, so we went to the pool and beach. The pool was cool, and so was the beach, except for the sunburn *ouch*. We finally went snorkeling the next day, except my mom and sister got all cut on the coral and had to go back to the boat. Later that day, my mom went shopping, and my dad and I went to the bullfight. That was awesome, and gory. They stuck like 500 things in the bull before they killed it, and then they cut off it's ears. Wait, now my sister is staring over my shoulder. Gotta go. T_T

   Nothing much
Well today is yet another ordinary day. My summer is getting boring, and fast. I guess I should just sleep a little later... Anyway, today was boring. I had to go with my mom to pick my annoying litte sister up from horseback riding. Then we ate lunch. After that came the dentist so I could get some cavity filled. And now I'm here. See? Boring. WAIT!!! I just remembered! The 6th grade english teachers have already sent out the first homework assignment for the year! Teachers are so evil! We don't go back to school until late
August! Like I'm gonna drop the internet and everything else, read 7 books that were on the list, write a report, and then give a "book talk" to the class on the first day of school! They want us to start reading now, and we don't even get to choose the books we read! And I checked, Rurouni Kenshin volumes 16, 17, and 18 are not on the list. So, I'm either going to start reading today and stretch it out across the summer, or I can do what I usually and probably will do: wait until the last minute, and then do nothing but that for the last 2 weeks of summer. I SHOULD do the first, but...

   Nothing
Well the last time I posted was Saturday so it wasn't too long ago. We just got back from CompUSA, a computer store. I got a gift certificate to it for Christmas, and we just now went. I got Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Dynasty Warriors 4 so I'm happy. Nothing else is really going on.
I am bored

   Report Card
As you might or might not know, I got out of school for the summer on June 2. But the teachers didn't have to finish the report cards or stop taking grades until the 1st of June. Well, this morning after breakfast, my dad told me it came in the mail. "Oh great..." I thought. "I don't think I did very well this quarter." I was completely wrong! I did the best I'd done all year! We have a system of letter grades, and number grades in the smaller categories that fall under a subject. Example: Under math, the categories are computes with accuracy, demonstrates knowledge of concepts, uses strategies in problem solving, retains previously taught skills, and recalls basic math facts quickly. You could get anywhere between a 1 (the worst), or a 4 (the best). I only got one 3 this quarter, and that was in participates in group discussions. The rest were 4's! Anyway, on to the letter grades. In Language Arts, I got an A+, in Math, I got an A, in science, I got an A, and in Socal Studies, I got an A+! I was in shock. Anyway, other than the grades, I don't really have any other news, other than I had my friend over yesterday, which was fun because he dosen't own any video games and he rocked at Super Smash Bros. Melee and Soul Calibur 2. A much more worthy opponent than my dad or sister...

   Japan
As you might know, I have wanted to go to Japan ever since I became interested in video games. Which means that I have waited since I was three years old to go. Well, today my parents said they thought it over, and had decided that as a graduation present from college I would get a trip to Japan. But only if I learned to speak Japanese and act as a translater for them. While I am sad that I have such a long time to wait (I'm only in 5th grade now), I am happy that they will take me anywhere in Japan! I kinda want to go to Kyoto, because they have the Nintendo building ^_^ Any other suggestions on where I should go from someone who has been to Japan or knows a lot? Thanks. Oh, and I wrote their promise down and made them sign it, so they can't say they never said it. WEEHEE!!!
