Holiday Things - Huriata: Journal for Holidays

Welp, I'm back again for another day of "Doing Something"

I got kicked out of the house! Yes, by my mother. I had llama today and my mom was making fondant people, and the baby ate my moms practice face - lol.
My mom told me to put up the Gazebo and me and my brother just looked at each other, secretly sending a mind message to one another. As if we were say "Not this again"
But we got out anyways and put it up. With llama in the way. It didn't help that is blazing hot today and we were trying to piece together a puzzle to shade us, but nooo... It seems it was impossible when the child wants to keep taking the poles and playing swords! Though, me and my brother eventually got the tarp up and shady - YAY!

Today I did try drawing but there was no inspiration, so I sat there looking at my tiny comic strips of cartoon characters. They were about some recent things that have happened, mostly involving things that happened at school with my friends (I should probably do one about the wasp and the boys throwing books at it) They are just two panel comics because I'm not at that stage of awesomeness!

I went back outside because I had suddenly remembered the pool that we had to blow up and fill. So I did, but me being lazy I had my brother blow it up. Inside the box of which the blow up pool came from I saw this yellow card and a brown lump, it was tiny, so I grabbed the card with the brown lump on it and long till I noticed it was a flying cockroach :') Not cool when it wants to fly into your face while you hear it nearing you. So sad. I mean - Bugs are cool, I just don't wanna hear them.

-No bug was injured during the making of this journal-

Yea... so that happened. The yellow card was actually a patch sticker so that if a hole appears I can just hide it with a sticker (didn't want to waste that)  So my brother was done blowing up the pool and I swapped with him as I was gonna fill it up with water. I went to the hose - and there was no hose, just a wonky tap facing left to which i took a photo of :)

                         




    
















I thought it was funny for a while till I realised why I was outside. The pool was not in reach to catch the water coming out of this tap. So me thinking me, I found a piece of the hose and a bucket to put underneath the tap to catch any water that goes anywhere but the pool. It worked! But I didn't think it was gonna hold out. My mom came home from a little shopping and I was so revealed. They got us the hose and happily did the thing I was going to do, which was fill the pool. Llama fell into the pool whilst I was still filling it and it wasn't till it was foot deep that I got into the pool aswell. My mom was filming live and I was just doing some (pfft) water tricks.

The water was getting higher, and my brother was getting hot water, as to not freeze the baby. So the pool was warm cold. The sun was keeping me warm and the water was keeping me cold - a win win! My mother came out and hopped in - and man was it hilarious!!

Did I enjoy today? Hell yea! After swimming I had some pork roast sandwiches with apple sauce and soy milk. Why? Because I wanted soy milk. hahaha. My mom wants me to make some fondant flowers with her tomorrow. The cake is for someones wedding and my moms making something 'Surprising' (But one of the people characters are wearing headphones and a cap - as requested from the groom)

I did some karaoke and ended up here, talking about my day.
That's it from me - Cya!

Holiday Something - Huriata: Journal for Holidays

I was bored, so to keep me from dozing and being bored I decided to just - i don't know - keep myself entertained this holiday than letting it go to waste. Usually I stay in bed, because i know there's not really anything to do. Even though I try to wake up early.

So! What have I been up to lately? Well, I have been drawing (as usual) Um... cleaning... OH! Guess what. I have finally cleaned my room! (Your probably just like "And...?" ) Hm... you see, my room hasn't been clean in a while because i'm lazy - it was filled with papers and i couldn't be bothered sorting them out. I'm pretty sure throughout the process of cleaning I might have thrown a couple drawings I liked but I can't stop and do anything about it now. My room is totally cleared. Especially my desk! I'm so happy now, I wake up expecting a mess but I always see the great view outside and my spotless room.

I thought it would be a good idea to start learning how to paint, but for now I'll be learning how to sketch because it would be easier - since I've had somewhat experience with the media. I didn't wanna hustle and stress about next term and the whole art project I'm doing, so I'm starting early. I really hope miss Aireen had a back up plan if the project isn't finish. Because it's gonna be difficult.

I have been waiting on some rain but the sun seems to be the rays of light just keep coming. I guess it's good though the times I get in the mood to draw are usually on rainy days. Being at home kinda sucks, the lack of friends here to chat with and talk about dumb things is really starting to get to me - I haven't realised hanging out with your friends could be so much fun! But I am kinda glad. For some random reason there are just a bunch of idiots, to be honest - most of the kids in my class are idiots. And spiders are disgusting. And I have never met a grown up tattle tale, though he hasn't gotten that grown up - but his hair doh.

Some of the things I've noticed since this year is the groups i'm in. It's unusual. Ever since I started I noticed, that one!

* Ricky and Kalo are in the same reading group as I am. (That's has never happened, especially ricky)
* There is no Daimai (Daimai and I have been in the same groups for ages! It's strange now that he's not)
* I'm now the oldest in the group (I was always in the groups with the older students - now I am older)

It's all so strange to me.

Well, I'll talk tomorrow. Cya!

Huriata - Maths - Thinkboard Master


This afternoon I started doing selfmanagement for maths (as the other groups are being observed) Something I found quite difficult was, as always, ten similar questions. Either way. Have a good day.

Feedforward? Feedback?

  • Commercial eeling in NZ has been going on since mid 1960’s.

  • There are river reserves for eels to breed.
