Like any school day, I wake up at 6. My alarm (mom) screaming "WAKE UP RYAN!" until I get up. Then I go shower, brush teeth, etc. By the time I'm finished, I go downstairs, take my breakfast and go to school.
In 0 period PE, basically we just ran 25 pacers, which isn't as much as usual. My 1st period art class was pretty boring. My table it practically empty, there's only 6 people in my table and only 4 of us usually come. Math was pretty much the same as usual. We do work for about 40 minutes, and Mr. Lamb gives his lecture. He assigned us homework today, which I'm actually excited to do. I actually haven't done his homework for some time now, about 2 months. My grade has dropped 4%, and now, I'm planning on doing the homework. The only exciting thing today was Mr. Joo showing his Christmas presents, and lighting his table on fire with alcohol. He received a request from Monty to write an M, and light it on fire, it was pretty awesome. For Christmas he got a "Women of Hawaii" Calendar, and a Mickey Mouse hat with "Joo" engraved on the back of it. Finally, Spanish came. Ms. Castro gave a pop quiz, which mostly everybody failed. I got a 12/20, which is better than most people, and she didn't even count it as a grade. She says this will help us prepare for the test on Friday.
Well, today I have been doing homework for the last six hours, accomplishing basically nothing. I watch tv, eat, and play games while I do homework. I had Spanish, Math, History, Chemistry, well, basically everything besides PE. In the last hour, I did my history and spanish homework. Now, I have to study for my math and chemistry test on Thursday, and a spanish test on Friday. I actually don't get why teachers test us when we get back, because people don't really remember anything.

My Winter Break
During my winter break, I will sleep in. I probably will play a game called Rumble Fighter, in which you fight people, basically like Street Fighter. Except, you can counter, run, and play with more than two people. Katherine and I made a new account for this game, naming ourselves superman510 and supergirl510. It's really funny when we kill people because they don't expect us to be good. This past week, I had lots of homework. I had to read a book, The House of the Scorpion, for English, do a reading log, and a book review. In history, I have to take notes, and finish my book report for Schindler's List. Chemistry I have two worksheets to do. In art, I have to do my city-drawing...which I really hate. I have a math test tomorrow, and I will probably fail it. I did not do my homework for a week since Mr. Lamb does not collect the homework. And Spanish, well, I do not have to do that much.
On Christmas Day, I would wake up at 7, and wake up my sister so we could eat breakfast and open presents. Usually by this time, it is 10. My parents always record us opening presents for some reason... The only thing we get now is money from relatives and my parents. We do not really ask for anything else, unless we request it. The one present I really hate are clothes. They are usually not the right size, I hate them, I would probably NEVER wear it. This year, I would probably buy little things that do cool stuff...like magnets or silly puddy or something. I like those round magnets that are shaped in O's. I like rolling them around and sticking them under the table and moving a magnet on top of the table.
After we open our presents, we eat lunch...and then go to our my Aunt Mimi's house for dinner. Almost every year we go there. We just talk to our relatives, share stories and stuff. It's actually pretty fun. I like visiting my relatives unlike some people.

Winter Break
Winter Break is two weeks of break during Christmas and New Years. It is a time when people celebrate for Christmas. I think everybody loves Christmas because people like presents, especially little kids. Other holidays during this time are Ramadan, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. I actually have no idea what they do during these times, except for Hanukkah. I know they exchange gifts, and light up the candles. Otherwise, I do not know. I really love Winter Break because of Christmas, New Years, and the fact that I can sleep in.
Over this past week, I have been sleeping at twelve o' clock because I have to read a book for History Class. We have a book report due next week, and I have only started reading my book, Schindler's List. I read about 100 pages, and there are 376. I am constantly trying to force myself to read, but it is really hard for me to start reading. I get really tired when I read, I do not know. My mom says I should ask my optometrist about this. On top of Schindler's List, I have to read The House of the Scorpion for English Class. We do not actually have a date when to read the whole book by, but I have to read it, and write a summary about it. Sometimes, I think that teachers give students too much homework right before Winter Break. Also, teachers have many tests for us to take before Winter Break. Breaks in general make students forget everything they learn, and therefore do bad on tests. This is why many teachers give students a lot of homework, and a test in the end. This week, I have a Spanish test today, a Math quiz on Friday. Next week I will have a History, Chemistry, and Math test.
Santa Claus is an actual person, but dead. Saint Nicholas of Myra used to give gifts to the poor. Christmas is actually the birth of Christ. Now, we just give presents to our friends and family, have Christmas trees (fir trees), etc. I don't know many other things that we do during Christmas. We decorate our Christmas trees with ornaments, lights, maybe candy canes. People have songs about Christmas and Santa Claus. This is the time of the year, besides Black Friday, where prices in stores go down. Stores have competition over toys, who can sell the most, who can make the most money...and lower their prices to get more business.

Time
Time...is an imaginable measuring thing humans use to calculate when the sun goes up, and goes down. For years, we calculate 365 "days" for one year. If the present is now, but now is the past, what is the future? Well, I don't really know what Mr. Martin said, I heard it from my sister. We have so many units for time. There are milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, years, decades, etc.
One of the most common ways of telling time are reading clocks. Many people forget that ancient civilizations used sundials. They are used by using the shadow of the triangle in the middle, and are aligned with the north and south poles. Now, we have analog and digital clocks. Digital clocks are more popular nowadays, because you just look at it and don't have to think. People are getting lazy and depend on technology to do things. Just like computers, we practically use them everyday, and I'm not really sure what people did when they were bored before. Read books? I don't know if I could live without a computer. I get tired when I read books, and I read Schindler's List for my history class when I go to sleep.
Another topic on time, is time travel. When did people think they could travel through time? Many books and movies include time travel such as "Back to the Future". In "The Butterfly Effect", a man travels back in time reading his old journals. He tries to fix his mistakes in the past, but have all led to a new, undesirable future. In the end, he commits suicide by wrapping himself around the umbilical cord in his mom. Some people think wormholes are the key to time travel. Wormholes connect two points in spacetime.

Kirby
Kirby is a Nintendo character made by HAL Laboratory. The first Kirby game I played was Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. In this game, there was a darkness after the big crystal shard and Kirby flies away with it. But, Kirby is attacked and the crystal shard breaks and becomes little shards in 8 different worlds. Kirby has to regain all these crystal shards. In this game, you are able to combine abilities. After, Kirby's teacher gets possessed so Kirby defeats the teacher, but the darkness goes to a new planet. With the help of faeries, Kirby defeats the evil eye.
In Kirby games, there are many abilities. Sometimes you can even combine them. In the games, you inhale them, and swallow and yayy you get an ability. Some of them are fire, ice, cutter, etc. My favorite ability is sword because I like killing enemies with it. In Kirby Super Star, you just collect trophies representing the ability, and you just click on it and you get the ability. Inhaling enemies do not give you the ability. Well, this is just in Milky Way Wishes part of the game. It's my favorite Kirby game to play on Super Nintendo. They made a new updated version called Kirby Super Star Ultra, and included four new games. I still prefer the old game.
After a few years, Nightmare in Dreamland came out. I always played that game. I beat it twice already. Kirby can fly, suck things up, and spit them back out. It's actually a really fun game to play...I just explain things bad. Kirby's Dream Land was the first Kirby game ever made. It was released on the NES...which was way back when. I remember I used to play Super Mario Bros. on it, Duck Hunting, and Karate something... My dad really liked playing Nintendo, I think that's why I do too. He used to play with me sometimes but not much anymore since he works a lot more. He usually says no to me because he says he's watching Bobby, my dog, but he only works part time now and gets Friday off.

Fire Emblem 6 and 7
Fire Emblem 7 is about a character named Lyn, Eliwood, and Hector. They live in the continent Elibe. In Lyn's story, she travels through Lycia, a country to find her grandpa. Both of her parents are dead, and wants to find her family. Along the way, she finds many people willing to help her. Eliwood's story is about finding his lost father. A long time ago, his father went away and never returned. Eliwood sets out to find him, and goes throughout the continent to find him. During that time, he learns that Nergal, the protagonist, is trying to revive dragons. He finds Athos, one of the legendary heroes. With his help, he faces Nergal and kills the dragons. Hector's story is about himself helping Eliwood find his father.
Fire Emblem 6 is a prequel to Fire Emblem 7. It is set 20 years later, and the main protagonist is Roy, Eliwood's son. In this Fire Emblem, Bern, another country is trying to revive dragons. Sounds the same basically. There are 3 types of dragons...divine dragons, the dark dragon, and war dragons. The dark dragon makes war dragons for Bern to kill people. So after a while, Roy defeats Bern's king and the dark dragon. (I actually don't know the plot that well, it was all in Japanese.)
Fire Emblem games always have something to do with the Fire Emblem, and dragons. In the 6th game, it is used to get a sword called the Sword of Seals. In the 7th, it is used as a symbol for the new king. Anyways, I like these games, but sometimes I get bored of them and play another game.

2nd Quarter Statement of Purpose
My posts so far have been about random things like tv shows, Schindler's List, and McDonalds. I want to write about games or something else. I have written everything on my original Statement of Purpose except for Fire Emblem and Golden Sun. I usually write about whatever is on my mind that i can write 3 paragraphs about. I might also write about a few more restaurants or tv shows I watch.
My impression of my old posts are...okay. I think I could have done better but I'm too lazy to fix them. My first post was in my perspective, not so much what other people think. Sort of like a one sided story. Well, I'm the one writing so...yea. I usually try and hurry up finishing my blogs before the period is over and I make mistakes. I don't like doing blogs at home because it takes too long and I have other homework to do.
To sum up, I will write about different things just not one topic. I'd still like to write about games and other things. I'll write about Fire Emblem next week if I remember. I usually forget things a lot and usually I won't remember unless somebody reminds me. My old posts are okay to me, they're not the best, but I like them. They have all been things I wanted to write about.
