Public Library

I didn't get to write my blog after school yesterday because I had to ride home with Rex. I missed walking through the forest on the way home. It always helps me stay away just a little bit longer.

Anyway, I did get to sneak down to the public library today to read it while the Samuels went to church. They don't like me to go with them, which is just fine with me! I'd rather have the time to read or something anyways.

So, now I don't have much time because the library only has one computer, and I had to wait for 35 minutes to get on it. Now I have to go before they get home and finish my chores.

Autumn is here!

It's starting to cool down outside. This is my favorite time of year! It was a really hot summer, although it's always cooler in the redwoods. The heat takes the mist away, though. I like the mist a lot. I saw some today, so it's definitely cooling down.

Rex got a new backpack this year, so I got his old Batman backpack to use. It's okay, but it's seen better days. There is only one pocket left without holes in it. Still, it's cool. I like Batman, but he's not as cool as Spiderman!

I found out that April is keeping her journal the way Ms. MacFey used to --- on paper. I wonder how blind people use computers. There must be a way. I think I'll Google it. I guess there is software called "Screen Readers" and "Voice Recognition Software." I thikn I'll tell Ms. MacFey about it. I'm sure Eel River Community School can't afford it, though. It's pretty small.

I'm have to get home now or I'll be late for dinner.

My first blog!

Wow. This is kinda neat. I'm so glad Ms. MacFey assigned this for us. Computers is my favorite class next to English. I'm not sure what to write. So far 7th grade isn't too bad. I still have April and Maddy in every class, so that helps.

I'm reading the Hobbit again. I've got to get a new copy one day, this one is about to fall apart. I'm at the part where Bilbo meets Gollum for the first time. It's not a very long book, but it takes me some time to read it because I don't have much time to read on my own with chores and school. I like school a lot. Chores I don't really like, but it's okay. At least it keeps the Samuels off my back most days.

So, this blogging thing is cool. Ms. MacFey says its how people communicate online nowadays. She said when she was in school, they had to write in a journal at their desks. But we get to write in our class blog either in computer lab or at home, if we have a computer at home. Rex has one, but I'm not allowed to use it.

I'll be 12 next month, and I can't wait! And my birthday is also my favorite day -- Halloween!
