The Poop Shoe

I was reading one of my old journals from the 5th grade. There was one of a few pages that appeared to be folded over at one point in time (our teacher would read our journals regularly to read our stories and we would fold over pages we did not want her to read). It was actually pretty funny. It was about “One of the most embarrassing days of my life”.

Today was SOSOSOSO embarrassing! When I came to school and sat down I smelled something really bad! I was thinking “Man, Clay must not have washed his clothes!! It is too bad I have to sit next to him.” So I turned my head away, but the smell just would not go away! The whole class could smell it!! Mrs. Jones didn’t say anything, but I could tell she could smell it too. I kept looking at Clay. He didn’t seem to care. It must have been him. Then, I lifted my leg to cross my feet and stared down horror struck, I had dog poop on my shoe!! I started to get hot and wanted to disappear or have on another pair of shoes! Before I had been sitting on my knees. To make it worse I turned around and saw little fragments of dog poop on my seat. Then before we went out to recess Mrs. Jones had to talk to all the girls about wearing deodorant because she already talked to the guys. Way to waste 10 minutes of recess! Not only that she mentioned the bad smell in the class room so I was once again embarrassed. Luckily I stayed behind my fiends so I could stomp out most of the poop and wipe my shoe off in the grass. All my friends started talking about the bad smell in the class room and how somebody must have really bad B.O. I kept on changing the subject and they forgot about it, but I was still embarrassed. If anyone found out it was dog poop on MY shoe I would die.

A Billion Years on a baseball field

Ms. Dickson (My language arts teacher) told us to write a children’s story that we could put on a power point slide show. I made several different characters for different stories when I was finally satisfied with one i had a dream that Claire and I were fighting a whole bunch. We won a free vacation to a deserted island. This nice lady who turns out to be a witch is the only one there to greet our family. They had this nice little cottage with a pool. Every day we would play on the baseball field. The witch saw how much claire and I would fight and she casts a spell so we would be trapped in there until there was a flood. Nobody would get any older until we were able to leave though. We had a magical suitcase though that would make food and drink pop out. People started building houses on the island and big buildings that were deserted a few thousand years after they were built. During the billions of years we were on he field we made friends with these HUGE birds. They could not fly us out though (trust me, Claire and I tried every possible way to get out. We had a lot of time. Finally, a billion years later Claire and I became good friends. Then it began to rain and our giant bird pets flew us all the way to Georgia. I do not want to say how everyone had changed, because a lot of them were rich snobs and I do not want to offend anybody. Someday i will put the story that I changed for school.

Orchestra Not Dorkestra

Orchestra is sometimes called the Dorkestra. There don’t have a pun for band so people sometimes just say that music is dorky. This is untrue though and I can prove it. Most of the people at are considered “Dorks” do not do music. Perhaps to fit in?? The most popular people in the school (We have about 20) are all included in some music type thing from school. I am in orchestra, although I may not be the most popular person in school I am still well known, BELIEVE ME! Those who are considered “popular” that are about two notches down do not do orchestra or band. They say they are way to cool. They are the popular, not well known around the school people. So music is not so uncool!

First you get out a container of Peanut Butter. Then you get a knife and open the container of peanut butter. You put the knife in and scoop out some peanut [butter] and spread it on a slice of bread. Then put away the peanut butter (with the top on) and get out some jelly. Open up it’s its container and dip the knife in it. Scoop out some jelly and spread it on a seperate separate piece of bread. Put the 2 slices of bread together and you have a PB&J sandwich.

[This handwritten recipe was found laying around the house. Whenever using its or it’s, remember that “it’s” = “it is”. Helps to say it out loud. Gramalie taught me a way to remember how to spell sepArate. Think of the “A” in the middle as sepArating the word in half. — Editor]

Middle School

Middle school is pretty okay. It is no problem for me. A few weeks were necessary to get serious, but now I am in shape, it is easy. I had no idea how to navigate to my classes, so I suggested to one of the girls who rides my bus (not exactly the sweetest thing) that we should just follow all the big people. We wound up getting to our classes fine. Now I could find my way around the school blindfolded… which, by the way, I don’t think I’ll try.The first few days were so boring. All we did was talk about rules, and when we finally started switching classes we did the same thing only this time they gave us crossword puzzles, word searches, word jumbles, and just about anything else you can think of with word in it. It took us awhile to REALLY get started. Now it seems like that was all months ago. My teachers all pretty nice. The only teachers I have a problem with are my probe teachers (I am in math and Social Studies). My math probe teacher is mean and her personality is completely the opposite of mine. My Social Studies probe teacher is just kind of…dull. I have gym and I’m playing the violin in orchestra. Middle school is an exciting experience!!
