T2 B27: Circle the cat

Applied skills party was today. We had our go workbooks to do, and then we headed to the computer lab. At first, I thought we were going to work on our Brain projects there. I was so bored of researching and taking notes. I dreaded that next computer lab visit. But, when we got there, Mr. Olson told us to search "circle the cat" on google. At first, I thought that it was this weird thing that we had to do, but it was turned out to be a very addicting game, and the best thing....we got to play it for the rest of the class! It was so addicting....Really. I tried so hard to circle the cat, and by the end of the class, I circled it 10 times. But Mr. Olson gave us challenges, like trying to capture it in a heart. Alot of people could do it, but for me it was pretty hard. After a while, I just got bored of trying to trap it in a shape. Also, today was the last day of square dancing. We held it in the large gym, with all the other classes. So I got to dance with the grade 9s. They were way better at dancing than the grade 8s. Phew! I'm just glad I got that over with. Okee, now I think you want an update from our Christmas party this tuesday. Ok, so on tuesday, after lunch, me, Mimi, Leslie, and Carina walked to Oakridge for the movie there. Sadly, it was sprinkling, but we were ok, I guess. At least the walk there wasn't long. We sure had a lot to talk about. When we got to Oakridge, we had a really quick lunch, then headed to the theatre. We met up with the other Synergy kids and fooled around then. The movie was really good. I haven't watched a lot of Harry Potter movies, so it was pretty cool. I wouldn't exactly descibe it as scary, but the only scary part was when the huge snake leapt out at the screen, and then at that moment, Judy (I was sitting with her) suddenly grabbed my arm because she was scared. Oh my, having my arm grabbed so suddenly scared me more than the snake did. But that Christmas party was sure fun. Oh yeah, there was also Secret Santa. I was Leslie's Secret Santa and her present was a big teddy bear with candy wrapped around it. I didn't really know what she would like. And I found out that my secret santa was Gabriel. His present turned out to be chocolate. Yum! Last thing, I won't rant on anymore. Yesterday in band we watched the Polar Express. It was a cool movie, the last time I saw it was in Grade 3. It was really nice, I loved that movie when I was a kid.
Okay, no more ranting, I promise.
