I sure didn't feel chirpy-cheery and I told myself that I would let it go for one more day and get some nice rest. But it didn't wait for me. Instead, it came straight to me. As I was walking towards singing class, a man asked me for a dollar coin. For a second, I looked around to make sure I wasn't in San Francisco. Then I said, "Beggars here? That too, being greedy. If I'm right, there is a saying,"The needy aren't greedy." I first walked away, but saw him follow me. So, I ran to class...

You thought it was the end didn't you? Well, it's not. What was that light, really? I didn't want to find out that night. I was too tired, I slept right at 3:00. Then we have a rule that you are not allowed to lay down from 6:00 to 7:00. At 7:00 I ate and went back to sleep. ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzzzzzz
At 12:00 I woke up with a sudden start, only to find out that I was dreaming. I right away went back to sleep and the next morning, I didn't feel really chirpy cheery...

Showtime!

After we came back from our day, and ate dinner. I didn't feel so good that we were going to perform in front of all the 6th graders (other than us) and probably some other adults that were staff of the Science Camp. But, I was even more nervous, when they called our group up first. I tried my best to not stammer my words. Thankfully, I didn't, and if I'm right, I think everybody else did a pretty good job. Our stage play was a success. I even saw people who wouldn't even care clap for us, until I later on found out they were forced to clap for everyone and would get a write-up for every time they didn't listen to the ruls that are instructed. So, I made sure I followed every instruction they gave out. Then later on, once everybody slept, I went on thinking about leaving Science Camp. Science Camp was really fun that I wish I could've stayed the rest of my school year.  The next morning, when we were about to leave, I cried silently. Then, as we got onto the bus and took off, I had to think about other exciting things in my future...
THE END!

Weird Things

What I remembered was that flashing light my friends and I had seen that day before science camp. But instead of thinking a pleasant thought about it, a creepy haggard old man was holding the flashlight and flashing the light into only my house. I got so freaked out when I woke up and it turned out to only be daytime. Why had my dream been so short? When I woke up, and walked with my friends to the bathroom, I told them about it. And we all said at the same time, "Remember the first day at science camp?" We shuddered at the thought of it. Did we really have to conquer our fears and step out of the house one night and discover what that light was? We were so sad that we had to leave Science Camp tomorrow. And, everybody was not excited about performing the play tonight except, our (captain). But, we got away from our thoughts for that whole day....

The Pacific Ocean

Today we were going to the Pacific Ocean and my friends and I were pretty excited. Although, we couldn't swim in it of course. (Someone just asked that random question. Duh! It'll be Winter!) But, we were allowed to touch  the water with our hands or our feet. Then we looked for some tiny sea creatures. We also got to see whirlpools. When we returned from the beach (which is 10 mi away from our camp), we did our regular schedule things as I have on my post titled, "Science Camp" (not "Science Camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"). Then we bathed  and came to the Dinner Hall for dinner. When we settled back into our cabins, our counsellor (yeah, I know, we have to have a counsellor) and all of us rehearsed our skit that we were to perform the last night we were at Science Camp (which was tomorrow night). Then, as we got ready to rest for our big day tomorrow, I remembered something I would've never wanted to remember at this time...

Redwoods

If you'd be interested in where the science camp is located it is located in Loma Mar, Calif. It is one of the places in California where alot of Redwood trees are located. Other places include Santa Cruz, Calif.,Humboldt, Calif., Big Sur Calif. etc. The state tree for California is "The Redwood." Better known as the California Redwood. Anyway, the first place I mentioned, (Loma Mar), is as I said my science camp location. In Santa Cruz, Calif, almost everyone knows only about the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.  But there is also a redwood forest there on a hill or mountain (I'm Not Sure). Ok, bye!

Spelling Bee

Yesterday, we had a class spelling bee. In that, the Top 3 of our class would go to the school spelling bee. The Top 2 from Mission Valley will represent us in the Fremont Unified School District Spelling Bee. Whoever wins can go even farther than that. They can go up to the state spelling bee. Then once you win that, you can go to the Nationals (United States.) I don't know how far I will go, but I will try to reach up to the Unified School District Spelling Bee. So as you can tell from what I just said, "I was one of the top 3."
Ok, thank you! I will be studying for the School Spelling Bee which is Dec. 2. (Haven't found out if some of my friends are in the school spelling bee yet.)

Science Camp

Now that I am well-informed about Science Camp, I'm going to tell you about it. First of all, payment! It is (oh my god) expensive. Depending on how much money you earned for the Innisbrook thing. If you did not earn anything, you have to give a total of $334. The next thing is getting there. I don't know if I'll be awake or not when we reach the place, because it is a 2-hour drive! Our daily schedule is going to be this at camp:
  • Wake up at 7:00 a.m.
  • Get ready and go outside (no taking bath yet)
  • First day will be hiking, another day will be in the woods, one day at the Pacific Ocean and I don't know about the fourth day. Eat lunch.
  • When we come back, take a bath and then play with friends from other cabins
  • Have dinner
  • Have activity time
  • Night time fun (seeing the stars and the moon)
  • Get to our cabins and practice the skit we will be performing on Thursday night.
  • Sleep at 9:30 or how late you want to sleep, but the lights will be off at 9:30
  • Repeat the 8 steps once again.
This is what we all will be doing.

Science Camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to cut away from the story, but I have a few exciting things coming up that I want to tell you about. First is, tomorrow a lady from science camp is going to come to our school and tell us about science camp and what we will be doing there. Then, next, my family and I are going to go to Hawaii. After Winter Break is done, we're back to school for a week and then we will be going to science camp the very next week! The sad thing though is that there is kind of a lot of work to be turned in before Winter Break, which I need to worry about first. Ok, anyway, bye! Happy Thanksgiving! Next week is Thanksgiving!

What Happened?!

What Happened? Well, somehow, my friend had zapped her dream into my dream. When I woke up, I told my friend, "You were dreaming about a beach, weren't you?" Then, she said, "What are you saying?" Then she started to laugh. "Oh, whatever,"I said. We woke up all the others and got ready, then, we set off. When I came out everybody started laughing. To make sure, I checked if my fly was open, or if anything was out of order. When I saw that there was nothing, and I looked puzzled, everyone pointed to my shirt. It read,"I'm funny. Now laugh!" and it had by chance a crazy-looking monkey. Then I said, "What's so funny about it?" One of them blurted out in between huge attacks of laughing, "Your wish, is my command." I didn't really get it so I just stayed in the back along with my friends. Continued...

This Time We Are Sure That There Is "Stranger Danger" (TTWASTTISD)

While we were going on our "science camp" which is basically teaching us about botany, we heard a rustle. First we were scared, but noticed it was nothing but a fawn. We decided we should not care about any rustling going on but just enjoy what our guide was teaching. We trudged through the forest and only had two breaks. A lunch break and a snack break. At the end of the day, we collapsed onto our beds. Since we slept kind of early, we woke up in the middle of the night."Uh, guys?"I said. "Yeah. What?" "I see a creepy face looking at us." Sure enough, there was a creepy face. As they all turned around to see it, it came even closer. They got freaked out and decided to try to sleep. But, I didn't approve of it. Can't we just see what it is and put an end to it so it doesn't bother us anymore? I was lost in thought when I felt the sun beating up on me. I woke up, and it was lonely. But then, I saw my friends running to me. Were we in a different world? Continued...

Nature's Beauties

The next day was a pretty good day to our relief. We got to see nature's beauties. All that was bothering us was the feeling of winter-freezing. It was as if we were freezing and thawing. When we went outside we would freeze and when we went inside, we would be thawing. Believe it or not, I actually heard ice thawing when we were inside.
Narrator: Ok, now we will break away from the story for today. Here are a few exciting things that are going to happen to Mystery Girl:
Nov. 2: Start ballroom helping
Nov. 4: Field Trip to SJTM (San Jose Tech Museum)
Winter Break: Trip to somewhere (won't tell you)

Jan. 10-14: My actual Science Camp trip (only for 6th graders)
