Post 3 No Pain No Gain

        Ever heard that saying, "No pain, No gain!"? I learned the meaning first hand recently. First, this blog was not my idea. My Mom thought it would be a good idea. I agree totally, but, it is getting hard to plan out what to post. Secondly this blog has to have posts twice a week. It's hard to find time to post and the editing is murder.

         It is getting closer to the end of the year, very few days left before the break. We have worked hard to earn the following rewards. The combined classes (mine and another class, same grade) got together for their end of the year party. It was fun. There was Curried Chicken (sorry dad can't eat lunch), fruit, chips and drinks. Besides that after lunch we went out and played soccer baseball as another reward (there were other plans but the power went out due to fire in power lines). We lost but we had fun running kicking and running some more. Once I kicked it super hard and it flew far. I got as far as first base when the ball was sent to first and hit me. It bounced off me just as I got to first base, we all laughed. It goes to show what it means to work hard.We didn't do our best work in that game and we lost.

         The power came on later and we went in (another reward) and watched some students present an anti-bullying video. Then, we played board games till the end of the day, we've earned it. After me and my brother got home, we went to music lessons. Last week, I got two things from the vending machine inside the building. I ate one then and there, this week I ate the other one. Two years of practice at music here have made us better players. We hope to learn more in the coming summer and beyond.

         I have worked on this particular post over the week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (Today). At the end of the week I will get a reward for my determination and grit. Tomorrow is Friday and I hope this post merits said rewards.

         Tomorrow is the last day of school (technically not a full day, just half) and my best friend might not be there. I told his sister that I would pay her fifty bucks if she could convince him to come. I hope he shows up because most of the kids are going out for lunch and I can't, so I may be left alone. That doesn't sound like fun. It sounds like pain. But in the end it will end well, I hope.

         Today, I told my friend that the end of the year party won't be any good without him. He thanked me for the compliment, but said he still won't go. Stubborn Son of a Gun, don't get me wrong, he is cool and he uses and understands the saying "No pain, No gain". He knows that he needs to get work done before he can have time to himself. It helps him through life and will be big to him later.

Good luck at the end of the year and enjoy your hard earned summer. I hope you have many adventures that give you memories that will last lifetimes. I will keep you posted on my adventures stay classy.

Grit and Determination will get you far in life if you use it. Take it from me, if what you plan on handing in isn't your best work, don't hand it in.

Speaking of Baseball, I have a joke involving it.

POST 2: In The Beginning

          In the beginning there was nothing (Genesis 1:1). That is the way I have to start this blog. It is a Monday and as you all know, everyone hates Mondays. But in reality, people don't like to get up early in the morning to do work. Monday is just the "unlucky guy" who people hate for all these reasons. I personally love Mondays; they are the best time to get started on your week with a bang.

         With that pleasant note, I will start this blog. DATE: MONDAY 23/06/2014. I had a great day today. I started the day with a mock trial that my old teacher does every year. They got me to be the jury with my friend. We had a good time watching from the side and looking professional, then later making a decision.

         Later, during last recess, we got together with the mentoring program of our school where members get a younger student to mentor and tutor. We got freezies for doing a good job of mentoring over the year. The kids who didn't get them (ones who forgot about the meeting or thought the meeting would be boring or those who were not with the program at all) asked about the freezies we had and tried to take them. We hid the freezies and hoped the people wouldn't pester us about them.

         At the end of the day I sat down at home alone (my brother and mom where out at doctors). I poured a cup of milk, made myself a sandwich and watched some TV (specifically Hogans Heroes, a great show for all those history fans). I like milk a lot. My version of PB&N (peanut butter and nutella ) is delicious. Especially on Mondays.

         I had fun today, I hope this proves that Mondays are good, too. Tomorrow is the teacher student soccer game and the talent show. I am looking forward to those events they are always exciting (like Mondays?). As the week plays out, being the last week of school before summer, I hope to update about the end of the year festivities soon.

         For now enjoy this paradox perplexer: This next sentence is True! The last sentence was false (found at http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox)

-Good luck friends, FBJ (Fr\iendly Blogger John)


P.S Did you  get that I was trying to say that Mondays are good. Look again, try to find it. It is very subtle, so it may be hard to find -FBJ
