Camp Nathaniel

I can't wait to go to camp this summer. Me and Daniel are going to go fishing. After three years we have it all planed out and know exactly where the fishing spots are. It is also fun because you are like on your own kind of, with the exception of the noncoms. I just love the rugged cabin and the out doors.

Where I wish I was

I really wish that I was in the mountains of Colorado, at the dude ranch that we went to last summer. It was so fun and relaxing, that I was really sad when we had to go home. Now I really want to go back, there are great views and fresh air, and you are being waited on whenever you need something. I really need something relaxing right now, any ideas?

Fish

Well, I now have a 55 Gallon fish tank in my room. It has been really cool to learn about how to take care of the fish. We have had three fish die and we have four left. The fish that we got at first were supposed to be tougher fish but they weren't. So now we have to wait for the tank to get dialed in and ten we should be set to slowly start adding fish. I can't wait because there are so many cool fish.

Reflections

This week has been really hard for me. Not only because of school (surprisingly), but because my grandpa or Bapa died over spring break. There were so many emotions swirling around me throughout this past week that I almost just blanked out. But there were so many good memory's of him that helped me to calm down. He was such a good man and a good influence on my life. I never really knew how much I loved him until he was gone. I was so thankful that I got to know him and I am so glad that I will get to spend eternity with him. But for now I will listen to and try to live out his last words to me,"Caleb, always remember to look up and always follow Jesus."

Math

Today in math we were learning are lesson as usual, when we noticed that my math teacer made a mistake on the problem she was teaching us. One minuet later the same thing happened. And so on and so on for about the next ten minuets. Then while we were doing are homework my teacher asked if I would come help her and another student with a problem because my math teacher did not know how to do it.

This always what seems to happen to me each and every day in my math class. I really like my teacher as a person, yet she has dyslexia, is really bad at word problems, and just happens to be, not very good at math (to put it in respectful terms). I just really hope that by the end of the year I am not just as smart as when I started at the beginning of the year.

My teachers

Here are some quotes from my teachers in the past few days....
"You are the worst class I have ever had!", "Are you trying to sabotage my class?!", "Your class has improved 0% since 6th grade!", "You guys be quite or else your class will all come in tomorrow morning and serve detentions!", "Maybe science class should turn into a class about how you listen in class, huh?!"

Thank you teachers for such good memories these past few days. I just hope I make it through Friday alive.

How do you go to school when your sick?

Have you ever tried to go to school when your sick? It is very hard, and I had first hand experience yesterday. But I am glad I went because I would have missed out on a ton of homework. But also in school we are starting to study FUNGI! We took a piece of bread and wiped it on a surface (in my case the toilet handle) that we thought would be of Fungi and took one piece of the bread we wiped and put it in the dark and the other in the light. After starting that expierament I thought I would be even more sick than I was before.
