This is a second journal entry. His writing just makes me smile.
Sometimes I wish things were like in the Bible. That way you can live for like 969 years now that is what I call live long. Sometimes I also wish that things were like cartoons. So you could have super powers and all that stuff. I mean seriously dragon ball Z would never be the same. And that why cartoons can be cooler than life itself.
When we teach writing, we talk to the kids about making sure that their writing has a “voice.” This means that their personality comes through in their writing. I think this journal entry has great voice! I’ve left the spelling, grammar, and punctuation just as he wrote it. I think it adds to the voice. 🙂
Sometimes I wish that there was a kids WWE. I mean it would be awesome and it would be a great way to get some excercise. But seriusly I mean when I just see a bunch of strong men and women beat the heck out of each other then yet again you see a bunch strong men and women say, “I’m gonna win”. what do they find theye’re either pinned to the ground for 3 seconds our out of the ring for 10 seconds. what do they say “I’ll give you give it to me, give it to me.” the guy say no to the wretler gets angry beats up the guy blah blah blah end of story.
The question:
Tell what the underlined figure of speech means:
Time flew when they were at recess.
Larissa’s explanation to Miguel:
You know, it’s the opposite of what Madonna sings about in “Hung Up.” (insert singing and dancing here) “Time goes so slow.”
After spending a little more than 2 weeks in the US, I’m back in Vienna and back in the thick of things at VCS. I had a great time seeing family and friends even though the weather was equally hot and muggy in Tampa and Philly.
Here are some other highlights from my brief stay in the US:
As you can see my time in the US was very exciting.
I’ve just finished my first week of orientation at VCS, and am looking forward to the school year…though I think I wouldn’t mind if I had an extra couple of days…or a week even…to get ready. Though I probably think that every year. School starts this Thursday!
For the second straight year the VCS staff played in a coed Austrian softball league. It’s a good thing we were playing for fun, because we only managed 2 wins on the
season. It was a bit disappointing of a season, but it was great to get out on the field and swing the bat and throw the ball around.
The second picture is me taking some warm-up swings in the on deck circle where I am allegedly sticking my tongue out in a Jordan-esque manner.
