My Weekend So Far

        It's 8:15 p.m. right now. Finally, I can relax.  My weekend so far has been booked. I've had no free time and no time to do my abundance of homework. Here's how Friday and Saturday of my 4-day weekend went:


        Right after school yesterday, my family had to go to a party at my mom's friend's house. It was supposed to be at my house at first, but the location of it changed last minute. The kids my age stayed in the basement most of the time, while the older adults stayed upstairs. I was ecstatic because there weren't any younger kids to annoy us, which is pretty rare. We stayed there until 12 a.m. playing video games and eating ice cream.


        As soon as I woke up the next morning, my mother, my brother and I went to Ikea with my cousins to help pick out their furniture. One of my cousins is 5 years old while the other is 3 years old, and for 1 glorious hour, they stayed at the children's playroom while we went shopping. But 1 hour was the limit, and for the rest of the time we were there, my brother and I had to babysit them.  This got really annoying, especially since all they wanted to do was run around. 

        Somehow, I made it through 5 hours in that torture chamber. And here I am now writing this blog-post after a day of exhaustion. I'm trying to do all my homework now since I know the rest of the weekend is going to be just as busy.

My Childhood Shows and Toys

Image
                Do you remember the Backyardigans? Dora the Explorer? Teletubbies? These are some of the shows that were popular when I was younger, but there were a lot more I spent my time watching.          One of my favorite shows was Kim Possible. I fell in love with the show when I was around 6 or 7 years old, and I used to play a game where I acted like I was Kim Possible. I stopped evil villains in their tracks, and still attended "high-school" (which was only a couple minutes long).  But, I eventually got bored of this game because there was no one to play with and no evil villain  to defeat.         But I still loved the show and the characters. My favorite character was the main character, Kim Possible, because I thought she was really cool, and I kind of looked up to her.   A toy that reminds me of my childhood was my LeapFrog Explorer.  When I was 4 years old, ...

The NFL and Police Brutality

Image
        It's 2017. By now prejudice and racism against other people should end in the U.S., but the very little progress we made had retreated.          Starting off with Colin Kaepernick, NFL players have been standing up (more like kneeling down) against this issue by taking a knee during the National Anthem instead of what is expected. The peaceful protest gained more popularity when  Donald Trump commented on it, saying that the NFL players that kneeled down should be kicked out of the stadium.          There are many different opinions on this. Some people are saying that kneeling before the flag is disrespectful, which is why they shouldn't do it. But I understand why they would, considering what is going on in the U.S. such as police brutality and the Charleston incident.          Going back to the tweet from Donald Trump, saying that NFL players like Kaepernick should ...

Some Shows You Must Watch on Netflix

        I can't think of only  one show that is a great binge, so I'll name a few. Just remember, these are only 3 shows of the many that could be named right now.         The first show, which a lot of people are probably writing about, is Stranger Things. Even though  I haven't had the time to watch Season Two of it yet, the first season was really good, and I expect Season Two to be better. The show is about a 12-year old boy, Will, who goes missing. His friends and his family try to find him and discover that the government and supernatural forces have something to do with his disappearance. I don't want to get into it too much because I'll probably give away spoilers, but it gets really good.         If you like crime TV shows, the next show is for you. My dad would always be watching Prison Break when I was around 9 years old, and I would always just watch along with him, but I never really understoo...
