Dear Journal,
I am happy and sad at the same time today. Which part of the story would you like to hear first, the good part or bad? Well, I'll just tell you about the good part first to make everybody cheer up!
Tomorrow at about 2:00 pm, Shanghai time, my grandma and grandpa, AKA my bubbie and zaydie, are going to arrive in the Pudong Airport of Shanghai! They are coming to visit for the first time in the Davoudgolehs Shanghai History! Lets hope they have a huge smile on their way back to Boston in two and a half weeks! We have lots of fun and exciting things planned soon!
You see, sometimes there is a bad part of the story; and unfortunately there is one this time. Last week on my way back from across the street from swimming class with a friend of mine, I was coming in through the garage. I was looking around for my bike and I didn't see it. The next day I told my mom and she comes to look in the garage with me. We both did not see it. We finally figured out that my bike was...stolen. I was so angry and upset. And note that this was all happening while our guests from Xi'an where visiting. That day my mom and Aydens mom where going to the flower market to buy somethings; and during that time, I sat in my bathroom, crying. Eventually, I came out with a little bit of help from Gavi, Aydens sister, I tried to cheer up. Today, my dad was supposed to bring me to Decathlon to buy a new bike, but my mom told me that after he brings Jacob to baseball he had to go to work untill 6:00 pm. I have been sad ever since my mom told me that because it has been a week or more since I have seen my bike. Whenever somebody with a bike goes by, I always am sad because I remember my original bike from when we moved here.
Anyways, I have news from an email I got from a Rashi teacher who has moved on to Florida. Ms. Bergmann is engaged! She sent me a couple pic's by email and I sent them to a couple people. She said her boy friend proposed during Passover, after the 4 questions. Well this year there was 5 questions!
Congrats Ms. Bergmann! From all of us at the Rashi School!
Have a great weekend!
Love,
Goldie D.

No Bread and No TV!!
Dear Journal,
I am having a exception for TV Turn-off week in my school to write on my blog. And to check my email, but that's a different story.
This week is TV Turn-off week in my school. It is when you take your mind off video games and TV and do other things.
My counselor, Mr. Everett, talked about health the last couple of weeks. He talked about physical health (exercises, keep clean...) and mental health (handling stress, look on the positive side...). So he said if you sit around and watch TV all day, then you don't have time to do other activities during the day. Like play with friends or visit family.
So he got this idea from 2 places: one, he got it from the real day in the US. Second, he got the idea from a Bernstein Bears book about watching too much TV.
The book is about how brother and sister always watched TV when they got off the school bus and mama got really frustrated about it. So she made a week of not watching TV and video games. And by the time the week was over, the kids barely watched TV from then on.
What a good lesson for all of us! I have to get to bed and soon because I have school in the morning and I need to wake up at 6:30 to get ready!
Our guests left today and I am really upset with my mom for letting them take one of my books with them. :(
Happy Passover!

BLAAAAAAH!
Dear Journal,
Today was blaah. We didn't do much. We went to Chabad to pick up somethings for Passover and we went to get some pictures framed. I had a bit of a head-ache so I didn't get involved with everything. But we came home and opened a box of matzah. Jacob just couldn't wait 'till Saturday and my dad was sick of his whining so he bought a box to have today. What we were picking up from Chabad was stuff for passover that we can't get here that a guy from Chicago brought. My mom sen a whole long list to this guy and he brought everything except pomegranate paste, which obviously is almost impossible to find considering we live in China.So when we came hoe, I had a matzah and sliced turkey sandwich for lunch. It was a good taste, that I felt a little lite-headed. It was like a dream. I now can't wait untill next week either! In a little while, me and Jacob have roller-blading class but since there was barely anything to do, I decided to write to yall there who are reading. I was gonna invite a friend over but it was too late by the time I was done with lunch.
Have a great rest of the weekend and week!!
Love,
Goldie
P.S. I might add more to this later so keep check my blog!!
