Blog 9: A Spring Break to Remember 287 Words

   Today is the first day back from spring break. Everyone is tired and doesn’t want to be at school. I wish spring break could be two weeks so we have more time to relax. My spring break was pretty good. I enjoyed not having to get up early and go to school. I didn’t do much during spring break though. I was hoping I could be outside but when spring break came so did the cold weather; it even snowed one day. So I was cooped up in the house for most of the ten days of spring break. On Wednesday my grandma took me to get more clothes for summer since I outgrew my clothes from last year. I got some shorts and a shirt. For most of the days I was playing black ops on my ps3 but when I wasn’t playing ps3 I was watching movies, Nightmare on Elm Street and Taken, or playing on the computer. Since I didn’t have to get up early I stayed up later than usually playing ps3 with friends until I got too tired and had to go to sleep. On the last day of spring break I went to a shed in town and helped my grandma and grandpa move siding for our house and other stuff out to make room for seeds for the upcoming planting season in the shed. After that we took the stuff home and cleaned out our old garage and made room for the new stuff. Later that night I went to help my grandpa on the farm. We fed cows and sheep and checked on the newborn calves. I thought my spring break was pretty boring but it could’ve been worse.

Blog 8: Dogs or Cats? 250 Words

   I have to choose between dogs or cats. Well, its hard for me to choose beccause I like all animals. I like both dogs and cats. They both have many advantages. Right now I have two cats, Smokey and Jojo, and they are fun but I would like to have a dog. I like dogs because they are an outside pet and they like to play fetch and you can go for walks with them so you have more physical activity in the warm months, instead of being inside sitting around. I like the companionship and how dogs always want to be by your side. I have been wanting a dog that is a white husky with blue eyes. I kind of want a fench bulldog too. I like cats though because they like to cuddle up on you and love to be loved. I like it when cats purr because it means they are satisfied. Also cats are inside animals so you can when its raining or in the colder months, you don't have to go outside. My cats are very lovey dovey. THey always want to be around you; especially when you have food. So its 50, 50 for me. They both have good characteristics and advantages and its hard for me to choose over a dog or a cat. If I could, I would have both but two cats is enough for the rest of my family. So for now I can only have my two cats.

   “When the train slows down, jump!” yelled Marco. Selena held on to a rail on the top of the train. Gun shots rang against the metal sides of the train. Ping, ping! The train was pulling into the station. Once it slowed down, Marco and Selena jumped. They landed in a pile of rocks but quickly got back up and started to run. They ran into an abandoned building. They sat near a wall trying to wait for their enemies to go away. Then Selena looked over and saw c4 on a wall. She quickly told Marco. “This place is rigged to blow!” yelled Selena. As she spoke there was a beep, beep and then an explosion. They raced outside as the building collapsed behind them but Dr. Evil and Mrs. Evil spotted them and started shooting. They need cover fast. Selena and Marco raced into a gas station as shots rang out behind them. They got in the storage space in the back and looked for weapons. “There’s a pole back here.” Selena said. “I got an ice beater” Marco replied. “We go outside on three.” Marco whispered. “1, 2…” Boom! The door slammed open and Dr. Evil and Mrs. Evil stood there. They hadn’t seen Selena or Marco yet so they took the chance and Selena smacked Mrs. Evil in the face with the pole and knocked her out. As she did that, Marco cracked the ice beater into Dr. Evil’s knees and he collapsed in pain. “I’ll get you!” Dr. Evil threatened. Marco and Selena got away without any harm from Dr. Evil or Mrs. Evil.

Blog 6: McDonald's...How Are You Lovin' It? 255 Words

   I am writing about me and McDonalds. I live in McLean where a McDonalds is located.  I have been to McDonalds since I was really little. When I was younger I used to always get happy meals or chicken nuggets with barbecue sauce, but now I usually get a double cheeseburger meal with a root beer. I sometimes get a crispy chicken ranch snack wrap, an ice cream cone, or a McFlurry also. I personally don’t like eating there now because it is very unhealthy to eat their food and my whole family calls it grease bucket because all of their food is loaded with grease the way they cook it. I think they put grease in their food just for people to eat more of it because humans naturally love fat in foods. I try not to eat there but I do every now and then. I will admit though, that there food tastes really good but it’s not as healthy as they portray it on commercials about their food and how people say, “I’m loving it.” The only thing from McDonalds that I think is healthy is their berry smoothies because it isn’t cooked. I used to think that the food was fine but then I saw the movie, “Supersize Me.” In the movie this guy ate only super sized McDonald’s food. That guy got fat and got sick all the time from the food he ate at McDonalds. It just shows how if you eat it too much you will get fat.
