I AM DONE WITH 6TH GRADE!!!!!!!!!!

I know!!!!!! I can't believe it!!!! I am never going back to that school (unless to say hi to my sister next year), and after what happened this year - I am SOO happy to say that. I always need to come up with different things to write about in my posts, but this one I have put a lot of thought (yea, right)...
As you might know or might not know, in 8 hours I am going to be in a taxi on the to the airport, to have a month trip of FUN in the USA. So, I was complaining (I do that a lot) to Abba that there hasn't been such good movies for kids that came out this year, and that means that we'll have terrible movies. But, oh boy, was I wrong!!! Abba went on the US AIR (which we are flying) and found the movies that are going to be on our flight. In total there will be 20 movies. Some of them are movies that I am not allowed to watch but I want to (Awwwwwwww), some of them are movies that I am not allowed to watch but I don't want to (no comment), some of them I am allowed to watch but I want to (YAY!) and some of them I am allowed to watch but I don't want to (no comment)!!!! Did you understand that? If you did, you get an A- and if you didn't you get a B+!!!!!
I have so much to do - but I am SOOOOOOOO not in the mood to do them, especially when I am enjoying the last hours of spending time with this dear computer and this dear house... This is what I have to do: Make muffins, finish thank-you letters, address thank-you letters, send thank-you letters, pack suitcase, pack carry-on, scream and check me email. So far, all I did was pack a little bit, scream and check my email (which I have to do again in 3 hours - remind me).
So, I have been doing some research via my friends and I saw that I have the LARGEST INBOX IN MY EMAIL THAN ANYONE IN MY GRADE!!! Isn't that so cool? I have 2,167 emails in my inbox and 3,670 in my all-mail. Isn't that amazing? And I have to add that I don't get 1,000,000,000 emails a day like Abba or Mommy, but I am using 27% of my space in my email. I know this might sound pointless to you, and it is, but I just thought this was an interesting fact.
I have one good thing about school from the past week - I learned PI!!!!!!!!! IT IS SOOOOOO COOL!!! It is something like 3.14159265 (just google pi)... It is such a mind blowing factor!!!
I'll probably not post for 1,000,000 to toodles for now!! BYE!!! 

Need yo catch up - and fast!!

There is so much to catch up on, and I don't remember if I posted since my Bat-Mitzvah, and if I didn't, I wanted to say thank you to you all who came, and I know that it is sooooooo hard to come... For those who want the translation - email Abba and bug him, because it is not working for me! Abba posted pics of my Bat-Mitzvah on this. If you have a problem with the link - comment, email me or email Abba. Thank you. Autographs when I see you next (no flash!!).
I wish I could write more, but Ferri is waiting for the computer.... :(
C ya later!

My English Project - in 2010

Sometimes it takes me hours to think of a title...

It's true, even if I don't like to admit it. Now a couple of things in mind:
1. I've been thinking: in TextMesaggingLanguage there is LOL - which stands for Laugh out Loud. Now, we like to say it out loud liken the way it looks - lol, and then, you can say it in a Hebrew accent like this Looooooooooooooooool or לול... Now, that spells a chicken coop in Hebrew... Isn't that funny???
2. Mommy got an iphone! LOL!
3. LOL!
4. LOL!
5. People ask me if I'm excited for my Bat-Mitzvah! Of course I'm not excited for my Bat-Mitzvah!!! LOL!
6. LOL!
7. LOL!
8. LOL!
9. I ran 2 kilometers this morning!!!!!! LOL!
10. LOL!
11. LOL!
Had anough LOLs!
Bye!

Countdown... Countdown... Countdown...

There are simple things in life, and there are more complicated ones... For instance - a 2 year old. That's simple. They cry when they're sad and smile when they're happy. For more complicated - How do you get your watch to be on the same exact time as the radio? I've been trying... Anyway, I'll have to do that again in America and back... So if your wondering about the Countdown - it means that you don't know me enough (I'm only joking)! You guessed right - it's my BM (explanation in the bottom)! So here's what's new:
1. Did you know that you should take 6,000 steps to maintain your weight, and 10,000 steps to loose weight? The force of the internet informed me that... It's just that I found that I have a pedometer on my Ipod, and kept me wondering... So we made a deal, that if I take 60,000 steps in a week (Sunday through Friday), then I will get a book. So we tried it one day, and I did only 6,418 steps, and that was including the running that morning. So my mom said that we'll cut it down to 32,000 steps...
2. Grandma Judy and Grandpa Saul are coming from Turkey tomorrow!! YAY!
3. I regret to inform you, that according to law, the Schools must teach their students according to their books and information, but I might add, that my school staff must spend 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 in PRISON (or until they die, if that comes first)!!!! And have their computers taken away... This is what we are learning in Math class: If I draw a picture of a room, which one is bigger - the actual room or the picture? And in Science: What does the heart do? What does the blood do in your body? I know! It will go into my brain and start eating my eyes!
I mean, Teachers are supposed to be SMART for pete's sake!
BM = Bat-Mitzvah
That;s is what's new! What a wonderful day!

Bat Mitzvah Invitations!

Yes, yes, yes, it's true!!!!!!!!! I know!!!! It is SOOOOOOOOOo exciting! Those in Israel should get it today or tomorrow and those in the rest of the universe - later this week. OK, so lets go to news:
1. You might be asking me what's new with the chess. So, what I could say is that I have gotten better, but I am still so bad, that in a game that I played with my friend we both ended up with only a king in each side. Talk about embarrassing!
2. I ran 10 minutes this morning with my trainer!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh! It was with 2 uphills AND it was a 1.30 kilometers. Which is 0.8 miles, if your wondering.
3. It is sooooooooooooooooo hot, and it's only May!!!!!!
4. I am counting down the days to the upcoming events!
5. I just learned a new word: Splendiferous! It is an awesome word!
6. As you know or as you don't know, I read the Harry Potter series out loud to Yosef. So, in short we are proud to say that we finished the 3rd Harry Potter book and we started the 4th!
7. School is a huge disappointment.... You want to hear a conversation between me, my best friend and my science teacher? (Shira's my best friend)(everything is supposed to be in Hebrew):
Teacher: What school are you going to next year?
Me and Shira: Chorev in Jerusalem
Teacher: Wow! Uch, that means we really need to get going with the work because Chorev has high standards...
(Me and Shira nod)
Teacher: Did you learn about the body (Biology)?
Me and Shira: No....
Teacher: Wait a second, your saying that you didn't learn anything in 4th and 5th grade about the body?
Shira: We learned about the teeth.... With a different teacher...
Me: Yea, it was in 2nd grade. (stiffening a laugh)
Teacher: Oy, Oy, Oy... As you know, it's not my fault, you should have learned it, and we have 10 more weeks of school and we need to finish the subject about light and sound AND do Biology.... Oy, Oy, Oy....
Me: So what are we going to do?
Teacher: Well, I guess I will need to teach you something... We'll start next week Monday...

Monday:

Teacher to class: Where is the Brain? Where is the Heart? What do the Muscles do? How many fingers do we have?

Next week:

Teacher to Class: How do you draw a body? What does the heart do? Give me examples of how almost all of the parts work together...

End!

Seriously..... That was how it was? We could seriously be learning something more interesting and harder!!!!!!

I'm sick............

Yes, that is true, unfortunately, but fortunately I have to tell you about a couple of cool stuff. First things first, I learned how to play Chess. You might ask my why, so there is a couple of answers. First of all, Abba brought a set from America, so I decided there is a chance. Also, I was fed up that Abba would always play with Yosef and I wanted him to play with me. If you want to know what I thing about it - I think it's a great game but WAY TO S........L...........O...........W......... I've played 2 games, which I lost in both, but taking a lot of the opponents pieces with me. I am pretty proud of myself, though I don't know if I want to continue.
Another AWESOME game is called Bananagrams, and it is sort of like scrabble but faster and better. You get 21 tiles, and you have to set them up like in scrabble, but you don't take turns and you can take stuff apart. If you finished all of the tiles - you won, in short. Mommy LOVES this game. So do I.
Bye!
Hugs and Kisses!

Miracles / Walt Whitman

OK, you would think that is a poem, and you happen to be right. This is the whole story: in English class we read the poem Miracles / Walt Whitman which I think is beautiful. Than, my teacher said that we need to write our own "Miracles" poem with the first two lines, plus the last line. So here is Walt Whitman's poem:

Why! who makes much of a miracle?
As to me, I know of nothing else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,
Or wade with naked feet along the beach, just in the edge of the
water,
Or stand under trees in the woods,
Or talk by day with any one I love,
Or sit at table at dinner with my mother,
Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,
Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive, of a summer forenoon,
Or animals feeding in the fields,
Or birds--or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,
Or the wonderfulness of the sun-down--or of stars shining so quiet
and bright,
Or the exquisite, delicate, thin curve of the new moon in spring;
Or whether I go among those I like best, and that like me best--
mechanics, boatmen, farmers,
Or among the savans--or to the soiree--or to the opera,
Or stand a long while looking at the movements of machinery,
Or behold children at their sports,
Or the admirable sight of the perfect old man, or the perfect old
woman,
Or the sick in hospitals, or the dead carried to burial,
Or my own eyes and figure in the glass;
These, with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,
The whole referring--yet each distinct, and in its place.

To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,
Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the
same,
Every foot of the interior swarms with the same;
Every spear of grass--the frames, limbs, organs, of men and women,
and all that concerns them,
All these to me are unspeakably perfect miracles.

To me the sea is a continual miracle;
The fishes that swim--the rocks--the motion of the waves--the ships,
with men in them,
What stranger miracles are there?

This is mine:
Why! who makes much of a miracle?
As to me I know nothing of miracles.
To see the beach and the sand and the waves,
Or the book and the words,
Or to see feet running.
To laugh at jokes that the others make,
Or flour and water form some bread,
Or mother-daughter love,
Or to make music from the piano.
Or hike the mountains of the world,
Or learn the astronomy of this galaxy.
Or to see people healthier than I,
To feel hatred or love -
For those are miracles.
What stranger miracles are there?

What do you think?

More and more from a day at London!

Adina!!!! Is a Ballerina!!!!!!!!!!

That is what Ferri is singing right now, and she asks me - do you want to become a ballerina? I said yes, not meaning that it is possible for different reasons. I have a question for you guys - and if you answer it will prove to me that your reading my blog because I send it to like 24 people and I highly doubt that even half of them read it. No offense. OK, so the question is - if you get to travel in any place in the world ans see - where would it be and why? Either comment or email me. Thanks!

Happy Pesach!

Hya everyone!
How are you? So a couple of news flashes -
1. Mommy is sick.......... And I had to turn over the kitchen for Pesach with Abba... Now I am relaxing but she is still sick...
2. The Seder was AWESOME!!! I really loved it, especially the BEST charoset in the world that I made! I will make an effort that next year before Pesach I will post it. Also, like always I was the only one left with Abba when we finished, and that was at 11:00pm. I really hoped we would finish at 1 or something like that.
3. Sara has expanded her vocabulary and she was SO cute! She even said a 5 word sentence, thanks to Philadelphia Chickens and Rhinoceros Tap... (Whoever understands can understand).
4. I have to comment about the comment Grandma Judy gave me about the last post. So Grandma - that is true, but most of them are. And also, all the politicians don't act like themselves, they act like what they're crowds want to.
5. Very interesting - I read an article that is about a boy in Israel, and he saved his money from his Bar-Mitzvah and also by selling stuff by ebay and from that, he bought a little apartment that he renovated. After that, he rented out the apartment and that way he is making like BIG money. He also did an online course about that. That got me thinking. For Bat-Mitzvahs, you usually get Money, Jewelry and Sefarim. I am not sure how much money I get, but I talked with Mommy and Abba about it and I have decided that I am going to invest it. I am also making a business, and I will give you more information later. Anyway, have a great Pesach!!!!!!!!

Nice Quotes

So, funny enough, there are quotes in my Sudoku book that I got in the Airport in England. Here is a couple that I liked:
"Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key of unlocking your potential" - Liane Cardes.
"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men" - Roald Dahl
"[Mathematics] is an independent world created out of pure intelligence" - William Wordsworth
"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool" - William Shakespeare.
Another one that I like - "Every politician it a human in disguise" - Matisyahu song

Mee!!!! In the morning at school!!!

 

Books, Movies, Comparisons - HOMEWORK!

But, as I might ad, homework I WANT to do and share with you. So this is my second day of vacation because I am sick, and lately my brother got our family watching the Star Wars movies on youtube. YES! They have them! Mommy and I were talking about that we have not seen the third one where Annikin goes bad. Anyway, we saw it about half an hour ago, and then we started comparing it to Harry Potter! So, if you want to hear it, you can read on, because I am (almost) sure you like either one of the them or both.
1. Luke and Harry are both orphans. What you see from both of them are that they are NOT SCARED, even though they are very very close to their enemy. After all, their enemy killed their parents. You might say that is not true since Darth Vader IS Luke's father, and he didn't kill his mother. If you see Star Wars 6, Obi-Wan-Kenobi tells Luke that Darth Vader betrayed and murdered his father which is true, and with his anger, and with all of his 'trying to save Padme' was actually killing her.
2. Both teachers, Dumbledore and Obi-Wan-Kenobi saw there was a lot of bad in them and tried to keep them away, but failed. After that, they were secretive about it to the next generation (Harry and Luke) and tried to make it right for them. When Luke and Harry find out a little bit and are confused their teachers tell them seeing they can't hide it.
3. Both Annikin and Tom showed significant powers (Annikin - off the scale. Tom - magic powers) and they both were second class people being slaves and orphans.
That was what we talked about, and I am sure there is much more but I wanted to share this with you.
Now, I send this blog to about 15 - 20 people. I want to know how many people actually read it, so if you read this when your done, please press one of the reactions or comment. Thanks!
Also, there is a hole on Star Wars! They made a mistake and I am starter than them! If anyone has an answer, you could tell me. How does Darth Vader know he has a son, because he never no one ever tells him. You could say that he could feel him in the 'force' or his last name was Skywalker! Interesting, huh?
Need to go!
Bye!

If you were able to cure a sickness what would it be?

Well, I can't exactly answer that because I would want to say Cancer, but then I would want to say the Common Cold and then I would think of the Chicken Pox. Seriously. What do chicken pox do to you! At least if you have a cold you get to enjoy the little bot of vacation. Chicken Pox are itchy and annoying and painful. Nothing good about it. Well, actually, Ferri has them again. A bad case. Its just that if you have it under the age of 2 you get it again and it is worse, and when she had it, it was very borer-line...
Also, I went running this morning for the 3rd time, and it was the best workout I had EVER had. I am serious. I also went to work with Abba today and that was very fun...
OK, I need to go! Bye!

If you have a secret power - what would it be?

Well, if you shared it with someone it won't be secret anymore but whatever. My (un)secret power would be to be able to make something out of nothing. Meaning, if I forget my lunch, I would be able to make my lunch again in less than a second. If I forget my bus card, I would get it. But, I would only be able to use it for a worthy cause, unlike when I would remember that I wanted a candy, but I didn't forget it. Do you understand or does make any sense? Another thing thta I am proud to say is...... (drum-roll please).... I am going to learn how to run! Not that I don't know how to run but I am going to have a personal trainer training me for a 5k run!! Last time I probably ran 1k in the 5k race but I want to do it all, and since Abba can't help me because he doesn't have time, I am going to have a personal trainer! YEAH! I am so excited! We are going to start Monday morning (tomorrow) at 6:30am! YAY!
Happy Purim!
Love you!
Bye!
xoxo!
Adina!
