Last blog of the summer
Sunday
Today we went to microcenter. It is a big computer parts store. Dad wants to build a new computer for our living room. It is going to be a really good computer. Then we came home and Dad started working on the computer. Esther and I went to the Pilgrim Fellowship Cookout. Esther is finally old enough to go now but there is no one else her age. I think she had a good time though. It was good to see my friends from PF again. There wasn't PF over the summer. Tomorrow is the last day of summer. I am going to hang out with Chase tomorrow. I also have to finish reading my book for school. It had been a really good summer. I don't want it to be over. I have to wake up at 545 tomorrow. The bus comes at 625 tomorrow morning. It is going to be really annoying. Thanks for reading.

Wednesday
It is the last week of summer. I am getting my schedule tomorrow. I hope I have all the class I wanted. Today we didn't do much. Esther had Marcy over for a while. We also met a new piano teacher who would come to our house. His name is Aaron. He is one of Paula's friends from college. He is really nice. He gave me another classical song to work on. It is from a french composer I had never heard of. It is a very nice song though. Esther liked him too. We think he is going to be our new piano teacher. My new amp for my bass arrived today. It is about twice the size of my old amp. It is also neon orange. We are going to try to have band practice this weekend. Jake's phone is broken though so we have no way to get in touch with him. It will probably be just Chase, Cece, and I. Thanks for reading.
Thursday
Today I got my schedule for school They put me in the wrong drama class I think. So I emailed my counselor. Turns out they did because Chinese is only offered the same period as the drama class. So I transferred myself out of Chinese and and going to take Spanish. I have gym with Chase and at least one class with Miranda but that is all the people I know of in my classes. Then after we went on a tour of the Pentagon. It was really boring. I didn't learn much. The guy giving the tour was in Navy. There was a lot of stuff he couldn't tell us. After that we were going to pick up dad from work because we were near his office anyways but he was in a meeting when we were done so he took the train home. Then Chase and I went to the Ram Rally. It is a pep rally at Robinson right before school starts to celebrate the fall sports. Thanks for reading.
Friday
Today I did absolutely nothing. I have been reading my book for school. It is called Blink. It is about the subconscious part of the brain. I have found it really interesting. I have learned that you can decide a lot of things in the first fifteen seconds using the subconscious part of the brain. The writer calls it "Thin Slicing". They have also talked about how your "gut feeling" usually has something for you to do with your subconscious part of the brain and is usually right. He also talked about how too much information can actually hurt your decision making. I didn't expect that because usually you try to get as much information before making a decision. According to research though, it is usually best to go with your gut decision. Out of all the books we could choose from to read this summer I am glad I choose this one. Thanks for reading.
Saturday
Today I woke up at 645 because Dad and I were going to clean the boat. We got there at around 830 and started cleaning. It took us about 2 hours to completely clean it all. Then we headed out on the water. Dad made me drive the whole time. It was a lot of fun. I think I will try to get my boating licence this winter. We headed out to a mansion with a little beach on it. We parked our boa a little ways off and hopped into the water. It was 82 degrees in the water. Then we headed back to the marina. When we were cleaning Dad told me to put my phone over near the boats GPS. It ended up getting soaked. So we went to get lunch and my phone basically died. Luckily there was a Verizon Store right near the restaurant we were eating at. Dad decided that he would get an upgrade on his smart phone and give me his old smart phone. Thanks for reading.
