Daylight Savings!

Daylight Savings Time ends this Sunday, November 3rd. So turn back your clocks! When Daylight Savings Time ends, you turn back the clock so that it gets light earlier in the morning and dark earlier in the evening. Daylight Savings started during World War 1 in order to save energy for war production, taking advantage of the later hours of daylight.

Baseball!

This year so far...

This year so far in the baseball postseason was the very cool.

Checking Out Middle Schools

I will be starting middle school next September and I'm deciding what school I want to go to. Last Thursday, I went on a tour to Mark Twain Middle School. The line for the tour was several blocks long! When we finally got in, we went to a classroom and heard about the Computer/Math talent. It sounds so awesome!  In Computer Programming, students use a cool program called Scratch. They also build and program Lego Mindstorm robots, which was only relaeased a few weeks ago! Also, students get to make 3-D buildings on the computer, which they might be able to print out, since the teacher is planning to get a 3-D printer!

My San Francisco Vacation

Over the summer, I went to San Francisco, California and I stayed at a house in Marin County. In Marin County, it is incredibly hilly. To even get out of the driveway, you had to climb a GIANT hill! When you drove up the driveway, it felt like you were going to slip all the way down. It was super tiring climbing the hills without a car also. My mom and dad said that the walk into the main part of town wasn't very long. They were probably right, but it was so hilly that it felt like we were walking for a very, very long time.
