On Friday, I went through an arduous situation while trying to get home from dorm. When I packed my stuff in the dorm, my luggage seemed light and I did not have any difficulties lifting it up. However, when I approached the bus, the luggage suddenly increased its weight, making it very hard to lift it up. After I took a couple of ages to get my luggage actually on the bus, I figured out my T – money (a thing to pay for buses and metros) did not work. As I stood in the entrance of the bus trying to search for my wallet the people behind me seemed very annoyed, because they could not go inside the bus because of me.

 

On Thursday, I felt very disappointed. I felt very disappointed because when my cell phone rang, I thought it was one of my parents coming to see me perform and text messaging me that they came but it turned out to be Armadillo trying to distract me. I felt a little sad because my parents did not come until the end of the concert and also a little mad at Armadillo because he knew he was not supposed to call me.

 

On Wednesday, I learned that even though technology is very useful, other forms of work can be better. I learned this because although the internet can be an efficient and can be useful, actually picking up an encyclopedia and looking through a book can be more useful and helpful for a report or a project.

On Thursday, I had my violin concert our orchestra and the band was practicing for a few months. Everything went fine until my friend Armadillo cleverly called me while I was on stage. I was so shocked that I missed about 3 measures. Keevac, my second violin buddy, thought I was behind and pointed out where we were. I could see Armadillo smiling sheepishly as I struggled trying to muffle the noise. I would not have minded it so much if it ended there, but the stupid Armadillo called me repeatedly until I was forced to turn it off. After the concert, during shower time, I was tricked by the 9th graders. One of them told me I left my soap in the shower stalls. I was surprised that I would do such as thing, but as soon as I stepped a foot inside the showers, a gallon of soapy, cold water came down on me, making me shower again.

 

I felt excited and interested from the new experience on Wednesday. Finding out information in the library was something new for me because all I was used to was staying in my seat and researching the information on the internet.

 

On Tuesday, I learned the technology nowadays is very advanced and is useful. I always thought it was normal to have a TV on a exercise machine so you would not get bored, but it shocked me when I was informed of the fact they did not have those in my parent’s days.

On Friday, a violent gale started blowing just as I was about to get off the bus while coming home from the dorm. I heard from the bus intercom that it was near my stop: Jamsil. As a result, I started packing up my belongings: my jacket which, my I – pod and my cell phones, all which were scattered along my seat. After I swiftly stuffed all the junk into my rolling bag, I lugged it towards the exit. It was excruciating work really, because the bag contained my school bag, laundry, a couple of textbooks, my laptop, and some other additional belongings. When I got off, I was instantly soaked with the chemical acid rain which had numerous pollutants dissolved in it. I ran through the torrent and the mob of people who were also trying to avoid the rain

 

I felt frustrated on Thursday. The reasons I felt frustrated was because I did not feel comfortable and did not enjoy my lesson; therefore failing to perform with the ability the teacher expected me from me. I honestly did not want to practice violin because the sharp throbbing pain pestered me every time I played a note.

 

 

On Wednesday, I learned that reaching into a dirty, sweaty pair of socks to find half chewed up popcorn after I nice refreshing shower does not feel good. Right after I walked outside of the showers and started to put my night clothes on, my friend Garthanix told me to check my socks. At first, I did not bother to listen to him because of his personality to take white lies very lightly, but when he kept on bugging me about it, I checked. When I found out what he said was true, I felt extreme anger but decided to hold it in.

Artemis Fowl – 4

Foaly, the fairy technological genius informs Commander Root that Holly Short has gone missing. They somehow link Holly’s helmet’s visor’s memory to the computer and see everything she saw for the past few hours. When they find out that Holly was kidnapped, Commander Root decides to reactivate himself, something many people think is very surprising. Meanwhile, Artemis tries to dissect the electronic locator on Holly’s wrist, and faces the fact that his opponents had very advanced technology indeed. Furthermore, Artemis orders Butler to cause a distraction in the harbor and Butler success in doing it.

 

I really want to find out what Artemis did during the time Butler was causing havoc in the harbor. I also would really like to get some of the technology the fairies use because they are very scientifically advanced and with that ultra technology, I think accomplish a lot of things including surpassing Bill Gates. I would also like to meet either Artemis or Foaly, the geniuses of the period and learn some things from them. I dearly wish that I would have the knowledge Artemis and Foaly has so I can ace all my quizzes and get A+s in all my assigments without breaking a sweat. I think the fairies will try to make Artemis give up Holly. I really would like to see who would win: humans or fairies.

Yesterday, my social studies group went to the library to research about our topics. Our teacher, Mr. Cussumy told us to use our time wisely because our bibliography would be due on Friday. It was very interesting to use the school’s encyclopedias and atlases to research about our topic, because all we usually did was use the internet to research.

 

On Tuesday, I felt astonished and amazed by the advancement and technology. Nowadays, most cell phones are considered bad if they do not have a cell phone, but a few years ago, there were not even any cell phones. I was surprised that nowadays, there were TVs on everything because my parents told e that they barely knew what a TV was a little while ago.

 

On Monday, I learned that things could always change. I learned this because a few days ago when I went to outback steakhouse, it was terrible. The meat was way too dry and the meat was very fatty. However when I went there on Monday, I had a scrumptious meal. I learned that things could always be different and it is not good to have a stereotype and judge things if I do not find that out for certain.
