Math Testing and Career Day

We had math testing today. At least some of us. A few of us, like Rebecca, took it earlier. Urgh. I hate problems like b over 17+4=-4. Those bug me. But oh well, I think I did pass.
We are having a career day on the third day of school where parents talk about their careers. Neela's dad is a rice farmer, Julie's dad will talk about being a pilot, Rebecca's dad will talk about owning a shoe shop, Sonali's mother will talk about selling real estate, Felicity's dad will talk about owning a store, and my mom will be talking about being a secretary.
Our family used to farm the corn belt, at least on my dad's side. Then he married my mom and we moved into an apartment until he left. I still remember him saying, though, "Every Thompson must love corn. It's in our genes." I kind of miss him and I wonder why he left.
Well, I'll talk later,
Always,
Gwen Thompson

Happy April Fools Day and 86th Post Day!

Today was April Fools Day and 86th post day! At school, I put signs on all my friends and one boy I hate and the kid that sits in front of me in social studies. They said;
Somebody played an April Fools Joke on me. Don't tell me so, though. PS: I am gullable.

It was hilarious! Rebecca and the others played tricks too, but Kaya had some problems getting used to the tricks. The signs on her back kept going on without her feeling them, and a pillow with a clown painted on it swung at her face so she fell over backwards in astonishment at her locker.

Well, I have to go now.

Rock Climbing

I hate Kaya, maybe not Sonali, but Kaya. It started in PE. We were doing rock climbing, and we were doing races to the top. We raced in pairs the teacher put us in. Neela was with Rebecca, Ruthie was with Sonali, Felicity was with Gwen, and I was with Kaya. Rebecca gave me a thumbs up, and I knew what to do. When it was our turn, we went a quarter of the way, so it would be an easy move, and then I jumped to grab an easy rock on the wall, Rebecca was expecting that Kaya lose her balance and the whole class would laugh at her, but when I jumped I fell and lost my balance. Neela was spotting me and was so shocked that she lost the rope. I almost fell onto the mat, but Sonali quickly caught the rope from Neela and pulled me back up. Then, Kaya, who didn’t move an inch when I fell, put my hand onto a rock, and we both ended up touching the top at the same time. I despise her! She doesn’t have to meddle so much into other peoples situations! I could’ve easily grabbed a rock! Sonali M. is okay, but why does Kaya even have to be here? I just don't get it.
