For Christmas this year I wished for only the 3 things.

– A rubik’s cube

– A letter jacket

– A snuggie

Yes! I got all three.

Ever since Christmas I have been trying to solve the rubik’s cube and have had a lot of trouble with trying to solve it. It seems easy at first to get 6 squares to match up on one side with the same color. However, there is more to it than twist and turns.

I have searched ways to solve the rubiks cube. Some people can solve it in 45 seconds! It means that there is a pattern to follow. But, that is way beyond my level. I found that for beginners you want to make a cross + of the colors on one side and make sure 2 colors match up on other sides. That may sound confusing with my explanation. I will have a link that will show a visual of what I am trying to explain.

Sometimes I follow that trick. Other times I just go off on my own thing. I just try to make 3 squares with the same color align. But, you have to check the other sides to make sure the color(s) on the other side of each individual square matches up with the middle square. The middle square never moves, which makes it easier to know which color goes to what side.

I asked Uncle Ted and Dad if they have ever solved a rubiks cube, nope.

So, I ask to those who are reading… have you ever solved a rubiks cube?

Any helpful hints to a beginner?

Hello everybody. You know I’m not happy. Oh, my name is Sandra Melon. (Sigh) I’m verrry upset! Well I should tell you about my ROUGH day.

I have a teaching job. It’s at Lemon Middle school. It’s voted, “School with the most worn out teachers by rough students” school. I had the WORST class. Well, as I came in the room that morning. It was obvious all the students were screaming, yelling, and bouncing of the walls. Literally! As I sat down in my Wood chair. I remembered I forgot something! So as I got up my chair was stuck to me! Oh, great not the old honey trick! I thought. ” Mary Apple! Please come up here this instant!” I yelled. As a reaply from her I got in airplane stuck in my hair with thick crafts glue stuck to it. Oh, my stars! Is what your thinking. Yeah thats what I said! At 11:12 I entered the room. And……SPLAT! There was a gym shoe covered with slim. Fell from the ceiling! Before I left the room i called a teacher to watch the students. A few hours I came back. Ms. French Fry came out covered in spit balls! The day continued awful! When I went home I got in the tub and I scrunched up with fright thinking about how awful those students are! When I was done with my warm bath. I combed my hair. Well, I tried with all that glue and slim in my hair. Then I went to go to sleep in my soft bed. And I thought….I need a hug!

Today I feel like I shouldn’t ride scooters because, well listen to the story and you’ll see.

The other day when I went to the pool I decided to ride my scooter to the pool. I had lots of fun. The lifegaurd heard thunder. Somebody yelled “It’s only heat thunder.”

But then came some gray clouds so i decided to leave. I put on my helmet and was on my way home Everything went fine until it was just 4 more houses until I was home. But there was a huge hole I didn’t see I was slowing down but still going fast then that’s when I went down in the hole and my leg went flying off and went dragging down the street.

I came to a stop and looked my leg and there was a big cut below my knee and i big one on my foot and to medieum sized ones below my toes they started bleeding right away and it stung too.

I made it home (I wasn’t crying) I told my mom what happened. She put on medicine and that’s when I started crying because she put some stuff that really stung. I needed a huge band-aid on the cut below my knee. I told my mom it felt like it was broken. it’s been 3 and still been limping. Everyday it feels worse than it did the other day. One way I like to get around the house is a play to stroller I sit in and push myself with my hands . That’s why I think Wheels Hurt.
