Thanksgiving

Well, over my Thanksgiving break I had some good times. While I was still in town, I hung out with several of my friends that night and we all had fun before we went our seperate ways for thanksgiving. Some went out of state, some went to their relatives, some stayed home, but me however went to my cabin with all family members from both sides of the family. There were ten of us but one is still at college and she couldn't make it. But, even without her we had lots of fun and a great thanksgiving. On thansgiving day we usually have just a light breakfast and wait until five o'clock when we have the biggest feast of all sorts of food ever. After all that we wound down by watching movies and playing games. The next day we returned home. I had to return early because I had a hockey tournament. The first games we played was one of the worst teams I had ever played in my entire life. We won 17 to 1. The next game was slightly more challenging but we still pulled off a 4 to 3 victory over wayzata. And lastly the championship, we were down 1 to nothing early in the first and it was hard to come back, but late in the second we scored to tie it up. Early in the third we got a fluke goal of a players skate and now the tides had turned. Shortly after the scored again they tied it up and there was only 4 minutes left. My teammate gave me the puck on a two on one and I scored. They pulled there goalie and we got another goal. We won the championship 4 to 2 against a very good team. And that was my thanksgiving break.

Odyssey #1

So far in the book Odysseus has been traveling all over the world with his crew trying to make it back to their home in Ithaca. After the Trojan War, with the victory by Odysseus and his men hiding in the trojan horse, they sailed to Cicones to get there reward where they got too greedy and will be punished by the Gods. They have encountered many people so far like Hermes, Athena, Polyphemus, Circe, and several others. Odysseus has battled many people tribes things, on several different islands, lands, and surfaces. But, he has still survived just on the will to go home to Ithaca to see his lovely wife Penelope. I think that this is really cool how Odysseus and his crew travel everywhere to make it back home and all the interesting people and things they see. I like the book in general so far as well because I have already read parts of the book in sixth grade and I wanted to continue. Even though it is written in somewhat of a wierd way, I like it none the less and hope that it continues to stay this way until the end of our unit with the book.

Halloween

Well I had a great Halloween for starters. I went to Valley Scare on Friday night with a couple people and that was a blast. Wild Thing and all other roller coasters at night are amazing because its so cold and its really dark and foggy at night. At the top of the wild thing, it is so cold and windy, you think your going to freeze. We also went in several haunted houses which was not as scary as one would think. Then after words I had a sleepover with some of the guys I went to valley scare and we had fun there. We sneaked out at night and had some fun. Then we got tired and went home and played some video games for a while. Later we talked and fell asleep. The next day I had to do house work all day and it really sucked, but that night, I watched the silence of the lambs for the first time and i was blown away by how good it was. The actor who plays lecter is unbelievable. And the escape he does is creepy and genius at the same time. I want to see the sequel now. Then Sunday I went to church and sang in the choir. We did great. Then I went home and finished the rest of my homework. Then to close this blog post on monday I had a hockey game and we dominated. We won 5 to 0. They had 3 shots on goal. That's it for this week.
