So for English, while I was gone we were supposed to finish reading a whole book in a week. I didn't know about this until yesterday, and what did I do? I finished a book! Middleworld is complete.
Book: Middleworld: The Jaguar Stones
Author: J&P Voelkel
Pages: I'm using the whole book for this post.

Max Murphy has gone to the dense jungles of San Xavier in search of his parents. Throughout the story, he ventures through an enviroment totally different than the one he grew up in, along with Lola, Heramnjillo, and Lord 6-Dog and Lady Coco (an ancient Maya king and his mother, trapped in the form of two howler monkeys). They try to find the jaguar stones, an extreme force of power that are deadly if they fall in the wrong hands. All this time, Max learns to appreciate his easy and simple life and begins to fall for Lola in the end.
Read the book. It's really good.

Reading Log #9
I'm back from 6th grade camp! I really enjoyed going back to camp, and it was fun being a counselor. Anyhow, I missed this blog, and all of it's sarcasm. I finally finished Angel and I'm starting a new book called MiddleWorld: The Jaguar Stones. This book was given to me by my wonderful friend, Cabrell (visit her blog!), so thanks and enjoy the post!
Book: MiddleWorld: The Jaguar Stones
Author: J&P Voelkel (Jon and Pamela)
Pages: 1-132
Icon: Details!!!!
The main protaganist in this book is Max (short for Massimo) Murphy. His parents are Frank and Carla Murphy, who are famous Maya archeologists. He resents them, because thay are always too busy for him. Max is a red-headed, videogaming, picky-eating 14-yesr old boy that has a temper. He never really paid attention to his parents rants about the Maya, and so when they cancel the family trip to Italy, Max is furious. He turns out to be a whining couch potato, only really capable of playing video games. And that's just by my standard opinion of him. However, this is only the start of the book, so I can't really be sure.
Evidence:
"'You're the worst parents in the world!' he said. 'You've missed every performance of the school band! You promised that you'd come to the end-of-year concert! I've been rehearsing for weeks....'" (Voelkel, 28)
Yep. That's the first you'll hear from this book. This is last week's reading log, and the next post will be for the second half of last week. These will not be for this week!

Thank You!
I would just like to say thank you to all of you that have visited, read, or even joined my blog! I was checking my stats today, and it said that I have 125 views in America, 8 views in Russia, 2 views in Germany, and 1 in Thailand! Thank you all; I never thought that I could even get this far!
What is also mildly interesting is that I have three links on Google, of which I am not aware of putting there. It makes me happy to know this stuff. I have opened comments to all readers, so if you don't have an account on Google, you can still comment! I'd like to know what you guys think of my *flips hair over shoulder* wonderful work.

I Hate History
I am ready to rip whoever decided to make us write Cornell Notes the way we must to pieces. I am sick and tired of having to take notes, rewrite them, take some more notes, rewrite them, and so on and so forth. I think that I'm going to have a meltdown.
So for the rest of the world to know, I hate Cornell Notes. And I think that my parents are going to kill me if I keep whining. Oh well.
Also, I will be gone for the next week, so you will probably not hear from me that often.
That little rant felt good. I feel refreshed.

Reading Log #... Ummm...
Okay, I'll admit that I forgot which log number this is. Sorry! Okay, I'm still reading Angel. I can't speedread right now because I have a science fair project to run, birthday to celebrate, paperwork to fill out, and whatnot. That project is going to kill me eventually, and then you won't be able to read my blog posts anymore... Such a shame... Well, back to Angel!
Book: See above paragraph.
Author: See below reading log posts.
Pages: 150(or 151)- 248

Ever since the Erasers were wiped out, and Itex destroyed, and Dr. Hans got put out of buisness, and Mr. Chu dissapeared, things have been mildly peaceful. But now the flock(s) have discovered the Doomsday group, an organization that is rallying people and genetic freaks to detsroy the humans. Their methods? To make it sound like humans are the bad guys, and that if they go, then the world will be a better place. Somehow, they are getting into peoples' minds, and convincing them to basically side with them, human or not. To Max and friends, this makes groups like Itex look like nothing. It does to me too.

New Picture
Hey guys! I've just decided to edit my pictures, so if I comment on this or your blog, then don't expect to see the tigers. They were cute tigers, but my love for anime has preceeded my will to keep them there. Also, I am debating as to whether or not I should begin posting stuff from other classes too? Hmmmmm.....
