2 months have gone by and I have totally forgot!

Dear Journal,

Hear are some minor things I have been doing in school and at home that have kept me busy while I didn't write on my blog:

1. I have made some new friends named Emma and Noah Knobloch. As you can see, they are brother and sister. Sometimes they don't get along, like me and Jacob, but they are still my friends. We usually rollerblade or got to there house and play Wii Rock Band 2. And yes, Noah is a boy, but he is nice and sometimes they come over to do homework and he needs my help. Noah's also in my class so we usually have the same amount of homework each night.
2. This week, since Saturday afternoon, I have gotten to see the cutest dog on Earth named Jake. He is a Golden Retriever and his fur is as gold-blonde as Golden Retriever is supposed to be. He is 2 months old and he belongs to My brothers friend named Cole. Cole is nice too, but I only go to Sunday basketball because Jake is there. Since I have had so much time with Jake, I really want a Golden Retriever puppy. Some of you may know this but my mom is not an animal, imperticularly dog, kinda person. She doesn't want to clean up there duty after they do it. But over all, she just doesn't want a dog. I beg and pleed with all my heart and she still won't budge. I may as well give up 'till I go to college and get a puppy of my own.
3. Today, March 3rd at 6:13 PM, I report that my cousin Bobby has arrived! Bobby arrived this morning and my mom went to get him from the airport around 8:30 AM. I saw him when I got off the bus. He brought us lots of food we can't get here and some HOT DOGS and SALAMI!!!! He also brought my mom a new phone that she can actually take pictures with and call people with (P.S. It's a touch screened phone. Cool huh?).
4. I had a play 2 weeks ago called RATS. I was actually the biggest part, the mayor (now everywhere I go I have to say," I'm Goldie, also known as the mayor.") and we had to do the play twice. My parents came both times and both times, I got a billion comments. After the first show, the high school drama teacher even came up to me and said, "You were great. I could hear you from the back of the theater. I will be so happy when you come into high school." And I was glad by the comment, but I had to break the news to her and say, "I would be glad to be in high school drama, but unfortunatly, I will be leaving after school ends."

Hope you understand! And there's more to come from 'us'!

Sincerely,

Goldie

P.S. Peace to your homey's!

Sick, sick, sick...why the 3 of us during this week?

Dear Journal,

This week, I found out about some people who are sick. Including:

• Emma - Ms. Keilgas' (assistant teacher in fifth grade) daughter
  
• Me - I have a cough, runny nose, and a 102 degree fever
  
• And my dads brother, Beruz - he has had cancer and lung problems for about 1 and 1/2 years maybe and now he got worse by getting pneumonia (prononced: nimonia)

Ms. Keilgas is friends with my mom. They were instant messaging on Facebook and Ms. Keilgas said Emma, her 2nd grade daughter, is sick with a fever and is staying home from school. At about the same time, I was suffering from a fever/cough kinda thing too. And a few hours before these happend, my dad was talking on the phone with my cousin, Pantea (pronounced Pantie), about my uncle, Beruz. He is suffering from a bad case of lung cancer and a bunch of other lung problems. I was fiddling with my moms bracelet and overheard him talking about pneumonia and hospitals and bad health things. As I was strolling through the hallway, I found my mom and told her about what I heard. She was talking to my dad later and told me that what I said was true. About 2 or 3 hours later my dad was purchasing a ticket to LA for Thursday afternoon. I suggested making a big card for my dad to bring with him for Beruz. Jacob and my mom said that would be nice.

I know it is very, very sad and I would love to stay and chat about sick people from this week, but my brother got off the bus right behind someone from my class named Jacob Sand and he brought home my homework (as you must have figured, he is in my 5th grade class, 5KC) from the past few days. I must be off to the table on the other side of the tiny room to do my homework but I wish everyone a happy (which I'm missarable) and healthy (which I'm the opposite of) rest of the week!

Who could go without Vacation?

Dear Journal,
This week was the best week of my life....we:

• Went to Hainan
• Went to the beach
• Went to the pool
• Went to breakfast buffets
• Went to Vietnamese dinner
• Went to Hong Kong
• Went site-seeing for first 2 days
• Went to a movie called The Day the Earth Stood Still on the 3rd day 
• Went to Shanghai/home
• Went to club house to get Hanukkah presents that were mailed by my Bubbie and Zaydie
• Got cool gifts from my family in Boston!!

Can you believe all 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 things happened in 1,2,4,5,6,7 days! It was so exciting when in happened but it felt so short that I couldn't take it all in; especially in Hong Kong because we were only there 2 and a half days. 

But anyways, my vacation was good. Do any of you have vacation during December? Last year we had 3 and a half weeks off but this year we only have 2 weeks off! But in the middle of January we have Chinese New Year vacation for a week.....that's when we came to Boston last year but don't think we will be coming at that time this year. So it's not that bad. 

I know it's past Christmas and Hanukkah, but Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Soccer Day, Fall 2008

Make a Smilebox photobook

wo shui jiao le :(

Dear Journal,

I snuck away from bed at 9:00pm so I could write; I was soo tempted.

3 Things that happened in the past 3 minutes:

• My dad came home from work (late, huh?)
• I ran to my computer to write to you
• My mom put me to bed (remember, theses aren't in order)

By the way, wo shui jiao le means I am sleeping in Chinese. Whoever guessed that, dingdingdingding!

So whats been happening in your side of town?

Email me at goldiejune2000@yahoo.com to send me info of your side of the world.

Love to stay and sleepily chat, but I've got to usher tomorrow at a winter concert for the Strings and Band and Choir, so let me sleep a little bit.

Oh, before I forget, my mother and I made a video and posted it on her facebook. We haven't posted our alternate ending though, so be on the look out!

Good night! Or evening! Or afternoon, I suppose.

ttyl= Talk To You Later

Hi fellow blog-checkers.......

Ni Hao!

I didn't enter with 'Dear Journal' this time because I have somethings really bad to tell you this time.

Bad things happening right now and during today:

1. I had to run the mile today (4 laps around our huge track) (P.S. It took me 14 minutes to run 1 mile at school).
2. I had nutella (chocolate spread) on a gramcracker and all I get is a bump on my lip maybe saying that I am alergic to one of them and a ice pack on my big old bump.

Good things that happened right now and during the day:

1. Everybody in both 5AH (other class), 5KC (my class), and Hannah, my best 5TM friend, were cheering me on while I run pass the finish line by myself because I am the last one to finish running (I was expecting teasing because I am soo unfit (unlike everybody else) and people yelling at me for making them wait 2 minutes so I could finish running).
2. It is time for dinner! And my mom made my favorite, Pasta and Tomato Sauce!

Well, now it is dinner and I thing they are starting without me!

Bye! Wish me luck with my lip and my report card!
