Mosquito Bites

Today from a website which you can find at this link http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204660604574378933761528214.html?mod=yhoofront tells people why mosquitos tend to be more attracted to a certain person than another person. Mosquitos are attracted to certain odors and chemicals. The people that unattract mosquitos have chemicals or odors that mosquitos don't like so they get repelled. Mosquitos also give a lot of disease each year. It is about hundreds of millions of people. About 500 million people get malaria globally and about 1 million plus people die from malaria. The best repellent for mosquitos is DEET.

popcorn

Popcorn is a type of corn that is puffed up when heated. It tastes great with butter but it's not very good for you so you should eat once a week. It was popular during the Great Depression in the U.S. Popcorn is used mostly in movie theaters. Popcorn was about 5 to 10 cents during the Great Depression. Popcorn was created by Native Americans. Some tribes believed the poppinig noise was an angry god. That's all the information I got off of popcorn.

today is normal day for me

I walk to Will's house so his parents can send me to school. Then I go through my classes and learn stuff. Then I come home and do my homework. Then I have to go to soccer and thats pretty much my day.

school

Today I had school as usual because its a weekday and there are no holidays yet. I went to my usual classes. I had a review in math because I knew what exponents were already from last year. I had lunch after 4th period which was PE. Today was picture day for the 8th graders and I also got my ID card for school.That's pretty much what happened in school today.

soccer practice

Today I had soccer practice. It was fun and tough. We started by telling our goals for this year. Then we went straight to warming up and stretching so we don't pull a muscle or get hurt. After that the coach split the soccer team into 3 groups of 5 into each station. The stations were headers, passing, and aimed passing. We did that for like about an hour. Then it was attackers vs defenders. In the end, the defenders won.

First day of school

Today August 10 was my first day of school. I just said hi to all my friends. After that I had to go to my classes. All the classes were explaining what the expectation and rules are. It was a boring school day. I bought pizza for lunch. Lunch was $2.75. The teachers didn't teach anything yet. I didn't get any homework. All I have to do is Kumon. I'm going to have soccer today. It's probably going to be fun.

activities for 8/6

Today I did the normal morning routine which is wake up, brush teeth, and eat breakfast. After that uncle Toss picked us up to send us to Broadstone. We used the ball machine there for about an hour. Then we ate noodles for lunch. Then we went to the driving range for golf. I learned how to hit the golf ball but not very well. After the driving range, we went to put and had a contest to see who could make it in with the least amount of shots. In the end, no one kept score but most likely uncle Toss beat Shayn and me. That was what I did for today.
