Christmas
This year's Christmas was pretty good. I got a camera I really wanted. I also got a RC truck which I wasn't really expecting. I also got a blanket. My mom said I had to keep my truck down stairs because it was making dents in the wall. I also got $50 from my grandma and I got $40 from my uncle. My dad put it in my bank account. This year for Christmas what I really wanted was an electric scooter. I also wanted a RC helicopter which I didn't get. Christmas this year was pretty good.

In my class we are writing a narrative about time travelling. We have to pretend we are time travellers. At the beggining I said I was travelling in my Mercedes Benz time machine and we have to pretend we are telling the story to your friends. You have to write in first person. I am done my good copy and my teacher is going to be marking them over the Christmas holidays.

I never got to do a commercial
When I went to Montreal to do an audition for a commercial for a video game last Friday. I found out that I didn't make it. I had to say a script of the words and I had to do a voice test. They wanted to see if I could speak properly and if I didn't mumble. There was only 20 people who went to the audition and 1 person made it. I was kind of sad when I found out that I didn't make it. I was probably going to get more auditions for movies and commercials. I don't really care any more so it's good.

I was in a movie
Today I went to a place named College St.Alexandre. It was somewhere in Gatineau. I am an actor so I got chose to be an extra. The name of the movie was Mother's Secret. There was a guy I was talking to and his name is Bobby. He was one of the main characters in the movie. He was only 8 or 9. He had already been in several other movies. He was making a fine amount of money. I am getting my check in 3 weeks min. Bobby is getting payed about $12000 for being one of the main characters. He was acting as a kid names Oliver in the movie. There was one scene where me and another kid were fixing a rocket ship and we were at the table of Fred Edwards. That's what it said on the name tag. It said that Fred Edwards was in grade 7. I was only in about 3 scenes. In the third scene, there were 4 of us in a little sqaure. After that we split up and then we wait in one corner for 5 seconds and then we go to the other corner and then we wait 5 seconds. After that we go into the classroom. In the first scene I am running up the stairs in a uniform and I tripped a little bit. I didn't lose my balance but I justed kept running up the stairs. (This part is not apart of the movie.) After I finished my first scene me and my dad went to the cafeteria. After that the supervising producer wanted us closer to where the set would be so we went to the upstairs cafeteria. My dad was just working on his computer. There was also this boy named Arpad and he was Hungarian. He was very curious about my dad becuase my dad is from India. He wanted to know what the temperature is and other stuff like that. He was 13 and he didn't really look 13 but he was cool. When the extras were wrapped(done) for the day. We had been there for 8 hours and we were getting 10 bucks and hour and we had worked 8 hours and we worked more than we were supposed to and that means we get $100. I haven't recieved my check yet but I'm sure it will come very soon.

It's not Thanksgiving anymore
Thanksgiving is already over. I do not want to go back to school because I want to stay at home and watch movies and sleep in. I like Thanksgiving because we got to sleep in and we could go to bed really late like 12:00. On Sunday I went to bed at 12:00 because me and my dad and my mom and my brother James and Josh and Johnny. I liked Thanksgiving because we got to do a lot of things because their is no school on Monday and Friday. Thanksgiving was awesome.

This week is a short week
This week at school is going to be very short because we have the day off on Friday because it is Thanksgiving week. We have Monday off too because it is Thanksgiving and it is a time when people eat turkeys and when they do things as a family. On Thanksgiving with my family we are going to go to my uncles house because every year we go to his house and we eat a massive meal and eat turkey and eat desert. The name of my uncle is uncle Ping. He is 73 and he is my great uncle. He lives in an apartment in Gatineau in Quebec and he lives with my aunt and her name is aunty Cathy. She is nice.

Virtual Ventures
Today in the morning I went to a program that is at carleton university. It is on science and technology. Today I learned how a plane takes off and how it moves when it is in the air. they said that the wind hitting the bottom of the plane is at high pressure and the wind on the top is low pressure and in the middle it is medium so at the bottom the bottom lifts and the thrust in the engine makes the plane shoot forward. And we were making helicopters out of paper and a paper air plane. We also made a paper boat that could float on water and it worked out reallly well. We did the boat in a sink of water and the sink was about 3 feet deep and when we put weight on the boat the boat sank all the way to the bottom. It was a really good boat. We made these mini people on the boat and with fifteen baby toys the boat sank. We were going to bring in a RC airplane by air hogs.
My dad was kind of late to pick me up because after every class all the other peoples dad's or moms came early. That was my day.

finnaly the weekend!
All week in class we have been studying in science about forces and other movement and friction. We learnt that the meaning of a force is a push or pull. We learnt a lot of things. In math we were doing graphs and percentage of things. It was very interesting in class. On Friday we had no homework because always on Fridays we never have homework. I didn't really have homework but all I had to do was do one page of studying in my math homework book. I think I have a science test on force and gravity and movement and air movement. I think it would be easy on my science test because me and my mom studied in this book called how to be top and teached me all of the things that I learn in that week and it has it only for grade three and it has all of the things that I do in class. So when I do those things I know what to do and I always will get an A+. I got pretty good marks in all of my subjects this year. I got really good marks in my presentations and I have one coming up next week. I hope I have a good week on Monday.
