Happy New Year to you. Even though its like January second now. I had  three New Years resolutions this year. The first one was to write more in my diary, find a hobby and like I like to say, “New Year! New teeth!” I have to lose the rest of my baby teeth soon because if I don’t I’ll have them pulled out by the dentist. I’m also in a big need of a hobby because sometimes if I get bored I have nothing to do AND I don’t want to do work. It does allow me to do something I like besides gaming. Speaking of gaming I got second place in a three versus three Diamond Rocket League Tournament.

Merry Christmas! Today is Christmas and I got the thing I wanted: Veggie Straws! Anyway when we opened our presents I got a Minecraft Lego set, a Geronimo Stilton Kingdom of Fantasy book, a sweater, a Minecraft shirt, a new pair of shoes, and a drone (that says 14plus on it). We also went to midnight mass yesterday and when we came home I went straight to the shower. I managed to stay up to see what my sisters and I got in out stockings. I got googly eyes and some panda stickers. I really like googly eyes and putting them on random things. It’s quite funny. My sisters and I got Just Dance 2023 from our parents and I want to play it soon. We have a lot of those games and they are really fun with my sisters.

Do YOU need anything in your life? or perhaps want? I mean like an item or thing that you need to survive. For example, essentials, like life essentials. Some life essentials are water, food, shelter and people. Then there are wants. Maybe you want things for entertainment or something that looks cool. With nothing to do you may be bored out of your mind. That’s why in my opinion we also need our wants in life. Not all of them but some to keep life interesting and to keep yourself from doing something you might regret in the future. I hope you all knew this before you read this.

“WEEEEeeeee…” cried JORGE.

In the world I got a lot of iron and coal from the mountains. I also made a garden for my grandparents that passed away (not the ones that are living yet). The garden has flowers and a maze. I think I just finished the expansion to the maze. At the end of the maze a made a throne with a secret at the back. The secret is just a diamond sword that is enchanted and not used. It’s called reward. I know, great name for a sword. I think I should put flowers in the maze. I showed my parents it and they like it.

I started a new Minecraft world on my Minecraft account. It’s called “YEWAH WE BUILDIN” and in the beginning I was just building in creative mode but now I used cheats and commands to play in survival mode. I made a base in survival mode in a hole I created using TNT it creative mode. After I made a storage room and made a villager trading room to trade with villagers and I flattened the hole using dirt. After that I made a field of poppies because Remembrance day is coming up. I used Iron Golems and commands to get the poppies I needed to plant in the ground. I also want to do more mining in the world. I’ll update you about the world in the future!

My dad is renovating the basement. We (family) are working on it together. He is painting the walls because it needs a new look. Later we need to move everything on the carpet to the part that is done so we can change the carpet to the vinyl flooring. I don’t really want to help my dad do it on some days because I went to school and I’m exhausted. I was especially tired when I came home from the Terry Fox run at school. Sometimes it’s really boring helping my dad because he’s doing whatever needs to be done and you’re just sitting/walking there being hungry or bored. When he is painting and waiting for the things to dry we are not allowed to touch the wall or the paint will get on our clothes. Here’s a photo of me putting tape on the doorframe to prevent it from getting painted.

 

Grade six started two weeks ago and my teacher is the teacher that taught my two older sisters that are 18 (turning 19) and 22 years old. I am in a class with the grade sevens. Our class has twenty eight people and 14 of us are in grade six and 14 are in grade seven. I sit at a table with five other grade six’s. Also because I’m in grade six I can do a lot of other things around the school. I signed up for safety patrol and my 18 year old sister did it too! My first time doing it is next week on Monday.

My parents are away from home at the moment. It’s so weird not having my sister and two parents home at the same time. right now it’s just my sister and I at home. We are cooking for ourselves and doing laundry. My sister has lived away from home for four years so I have no trouble with feeling like we can’t do it. Nowadays I’m just doing things around the house to keep myself busy. With no sister and parents I am getting less hugs than I usually get. Also my eczema on my hand just got worse yesterday and now there is a lot of holes on that finger.

I am having sooo much fun… my parents went to San Francisco again because my moms mom passed. They are great company for my moms dad. My sisters and I are at home here and today we just got the new dryer. Our previous dryer broke so we had to get a new one. My sisters are going to take a nap now because they woke up really early to get the dryer installed with our neighbors help and the guy that came with it. I was still in bed when they were installing it so I didn’t get to see how they did it.
