Hey. Let me tell you what I finished recently. It is the summer reading club. I have to do it every year since kindergarten to Grade 7. This year I only read a couple of books because this wasn’t much of a reading year. It was more of a gaming year because I played games with my sisters and played other 3D games. Some of the books I read were, Want, Ruse, Wonderstruck, and The Invention of Hugo Cabret. My favourite out of those four has to be The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I liked it because it involved clocks and I thought it was really cool that Hugo could fix a big clock in a clock tower at such a young age. The art was also really cool. My favourite page with art on it has to be the zoomed out version of the city his grandparent made. The reason I do SRC is because my mom made me but it isn’t that bad now that I think about it because I get a medal. Anyway I’m glad it’s all over. Bye!

Beginning of Grade 7
I started Grade 7 a few weeks ago. I started off every morning with safety patrol. Last year’s head teacher asked my friends and I if we could do safety patrol for the first two weeks. Today was actually the first day I went straight to my classroom, not the office for safety patrol. This year we got our classroom later than normal. 🙁 My sister is back this year so I’m beyond ecstatic. I couldn’t really show that the first week (in our normal class) because I caught a cold. I got to the class I wanted with most of my friends. It is sad that one of my closer friends are in the other class. We have too many grade sevens this year so we can’t have one math class for grade seven and one for grade six. I hope I get better.
I’m back from San Francisco
I’m back. On the flight home I was asleep for two thirds of it. It was also really fast so we got home before we thought we would. Now the desk I use with the computer on is in front of my dad. I got to build two Lego sets that I brought home. Both of them were Ninjago ones. One was of Dragons Rising and the other was just a random one with two minifigures I wanted. I also got to play Super Mario Odyssey. Grace bought it with a Mario Kart Eight Deluxe whiteboard schedule thing. It’s super fun and after two days I’m, already at Metro Kingdom. I really like being back here.
I’m in San Francisco
I’m in San Francisco right now. My Grandpa is doing very well and I got to see people on my moms side. They are mostly old becuase they’re my grandparents’ siblings. After watching and listening to what they do in their day to day life makes me think thats how I’m going to be with my siblings. Right now we are halfway through our trip. I got to eat a lot of food from my grandpa. I also went to the malls and other places here. I got to go to target and I haven’t been there since it closed in Canada. I also saw the other stores that were also pretty cool.
I’m going to San Francisco
I will be going to San Francisco on Friday. Friday is the 18th of August. This will be my first time going as I haven’t been there in seven years. I was five then and I went with my family. This time it’s only my mom and Gloria. Grace and dad went there in January so they won’t be coming with us. The reason for our visits is because we are visiting my grandpa. I’m very excited to show my grandpa my Animal Crossing New Horizons island. I want to show him all my creations and hard work. I also haven’t talked to my grandpa in a long time too. We only talked on the phone or video call but even then it wasn’t often.
I’m not that scared anymore
I started my playthrough on normal mode and I’m already on Chaos island. It took me roughly ten hours? I also did a lot of exploring. I did so much of that I got fast travel to all portals on Ares and Chaos island. I can fight Knight now. I have the white Chaos Emerald unlocked and all the others (except the purple/pink one) in my possession. Soon I can get to Ouranos island. I had a lot of fun exploring, even though I have been there before. I am also much faster now too. I got to Ares island a couple hours faster than on my first playthrough. I feel happy playing the game.
I have not stopped being scared
I beat Sonic Frontiers on easy mode! I said I was going to go slowly to the harder modes. It took me eighteen hours for my first playthrough on easy mode. I think I’ll take longer for the other modes because it’s harder and I’m very bad at the game. Ever since I beat it I haven’t opened it because I was to scared and stressed from it I need to take a break by playing ACNH.
These days while playing ACNH I’ve been trying to collect things. I am almost done collecting all the songs. I’m also trying to finish the underwater and the art sections of the museum. For the underwater section I’m missing a bit but I just caught a fish so we are closer now. For the art I’m missing a lot because we never really bought art.
I’m still scared
I did not fight SHARK. Instead I got memory tokens and Chaos Emeralds. Then I killed the Titan there, Wyvern. Before I became Super sonic the part was rather easy. It was just like Sonic Dash. The actual fight was hard because a kind of suck. Anyway now I’m on the third island, Chaos island and it looks so sad and gloomy but also like a donut with some big crumbs around it. I loved seeing Sonic mostly corrupted. He looked like he was dying though. I’m also really excited to see Tails. I love that guy. Right now I’m struggling to get to the island where the first Chaos Emerald is. I died right before I reached it.
I’m scared
I am really scared when I play Sonic Frontiers. We got it a couple days ago and now I’m at the second island. Not very far in but still enough for me to tell you I’m scared. On the first island I was scared of the flying Guardian. The SQUID. I was avoiding it so much, like not getting specific memory tokens because The SQUID was there. I was going to fight him but then I got close enough for the game to show me it’s face and it looks terrifying. On the second island I’m scared of SHARK. I know they are both sea animals but they scare me so much. SHARK comes out of the sand randomly and I screamed when it was near me. I’m just happy I got to see Knuckles.
My Mario Kart experience recently
The reason why I’m writing about Mario Kart again is because the fifth wave of the booster course pass for Mario Kart Eight Deluxe got released today. I’m going to play the tracks when my sisters come home using one of the new characters.
I also started playing Mario Kart Tour earlier this year I think? I know it was this year probably like January, because I saw my sister Gloria play it and it actually looked fun. I didn’t play it before because I thought it was just a boring mobile Mario game like Mario Run.
I have some really cool characters, cars and gliders. The characters include Mii suits which all look (cringes) FIRE. They just started a new tour with a new track called Piranha Plant Pipeline. I also just read the Mario Kart tour wiki and it says that the pipe tour is the 100th tour since the release of the game. I am excited to play all the new tracks released in the fifth wave now I’m going to watch TWD98 talking about it.
