Let me start off with to news that I'm a sixth grader now at Hasting Middle School! Hastings is such a great school. I am in House Black with my good friend Rachel! Sadly my other two friends, Lauren and Juliann, are in House Gold. Now you're probably thinking, "why are the house colors black and gold?" That's because the school colors at Hastings are black and gold.
Early into the school year, around the second week of October, my house (Black) went out to sixth grade camp. It was a blast! The camp we attended was Camp Oty Okwa! Every year at the beginning of the school year the sixth graders spend three days and two nights at camp.
We stayed in cabins, were served meals, and went on hikes. I was assigned to Girls Cabin 4. In my cabin I had three Rachels in there with me - Rachel D, Rachel V and another Rachel D. I also had Anne M, Sophia D, Kenzie S, Destinie D, Dana S, Saya M, and Nastya G. It was awesome!
The last night we had Skit Night! My cabin did "the Brain Skit! Rachel D. and I played Australian people buying American brains. Dana and the other Rachel D played the normal people buying boy brains but got mad because their brains cost one million dollars! The boy cabins got mad!!
The first night we were there we had a hoe down. All the cabins got together and danced for three hours. It was cool and let me say, my cabin had the best moves!
Sixth grade brings a lot of tests and quizzes. I recently had a quiz on prepositions! How many prepositions can name????
Meanwhile, On the Home Front
Last month my mom had foot surgery. She is doing very well! She just got her hard cast removed last week and now she get to wear a boot!
Starting now I'll be posting updates about the Columbus Blue Jackets! They are my favorite hockey team. They currently have these new jerseys that they wear sometimes. My friend Lauren and I believe are UNLUCKY because every time that they wear them, they end up losing. I call them CBJ jerseys. CBJ stands for "crappy blue jersey".
Rick Nash is having a good season along with RJ Umberger. RJ Umberger is my all time favorite player.
Well, that's all for now!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year!
Riley
