Fly. (Part 2)

   Then.. I drifted off into a sleep. There I saw birds. That's all. Then I looked down.. I had talons. Talons of a falcon? Then I realized I was a falcon, my eyesight was sharp. I flapped my arms. I flapped them repetitively, and the sad thing was... I actually lifted up into the sky. I glided in the air. I could finally hear the wind in my ears, rushing the other way. I looked down, and I just instinctively flew down and grabbed a lizard. I tasted it.. IT WAS GROSS. First off, why did I eat it? And why could I taste it?
   Oh my goodness. I realized that I was actually the bird. I can usually wake myself up, I tried opening my eyes larger, but it wouldn't work! Was I stuck in this alternate universe forever?
"Hello?" I said. Nothing came out, All I heard was the sound of a falcon. It wouldn't work! I couldn't do it. I was going to have to survive, as a falcon. Well.. Last week we did talk about birds of prey... I think there was something about falcons. Oh yeah! Well, I remember that I swooped down to eat that lizard by myself, it was instinct. So many I can just follow my falcon instinct. I thought.
   A day had gone by. I watched the sun set. West. WEST! Where could I have been? Then I remembered, I didn't have a lead, falcons lived basically everywhere except Antarctica. Oh well, I thought. I'm just gonna have to live with this. WAIT! I could talk to the other birds here in my bird language. Hmm.. I'll see if they can understand me. I thought.
"Hey!" I cawed.
"Hey, little man!" a bird called to me.
Wait a sec, I'm not a girl anymore? Oh well, this is awkward.
"Hi..." I said surprised.
"You seem.. different."
"Yeah, well, I kinda am."
"What could you mean by that?"
"Um... I'm a human."
The other bird gasped so loud that I felt like my ears were going to explode.
"A HUMAN!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
"Yes."
"Wait.. How are you a bird then? You're pulling my leg."
"You don't have legs."
"IT'S AN IDIOM."
"Well... How would you know? You aren't human..."
"Fine. Bye."

Fly. (Part 1)

   On a bright, sunny, summer day, birds flew by with such grace. I knew right then, that I could fly with them. It was instinct. I was sure. Thinking, I knew I couldn't do much then, but with just courage I could do it. More birds flew by, I listened silently to how the wind would flow with such current, it was like the flapping of the birds and the wind was music. The harmonies between the two. It was pure magic. I flapped my arms like a crazy bird. And I jumped. That may not have been the smartest thing to do, but I got ahead of myself! So you can't blame me! Anyway, I just jumped from the swings.
"Oof!" I yelped.
"Umm... Are you okay?" someone asked.
"Yeah..." I said full of embarrassment.
"Why did you jump off again?" the same someone asked.
"I don't know," I said not wanting to admit my "defeat".
"Well, you better head to the nurse, it looks like a big bruise!" the someone said, which happened to be my teacher.
"Okay, well, bye," I said.
Off I went, still daydreaming about flying. Then I saw a bird of prey. It looked at me, and I barely noticed that it was eying my hat. It just happened to have a small bird pin on it. It swooped down at me, and I was too busy listening to the sound of its wings that it ended up taking my hat, and it just happened to be one of the hats that I treasured! I ran after it and I flapped my wings. Of course it didn't work. There I sat in despair on a bench. When I got home, I just sat there on my bed. Thinking. And thinking.
   Then.. I drifted off into a sleep. There I saw birds. That's all. Then I looked down.. I had talons. Talons of a falcon? Then I realized I was a falcon, my eyesight was sharp.

How Horrible I Feel

Last night, my sister had fallen asleep, and whenever I started to fall asleep she would cough super loudly and then I wake up. How annoying! So I told my dad, and he let me sleep downstairs on the sofa. When I woke up, I was so tired, but at 6:20 A.M. or something like that I woke up and played piano for 30 minutes.

When I got to school that morning, I was so tired, and I could barely focus on stuff in school. At school I kept on playing Knockout (a basketball game). And people were screaming (me too). So when I got into the classroom I was so tired. And then I got home and I did my homework and it made my eyes super droopy. Then at like 3:50 P.M. I fell asleep and didn't wake up until 5:00 P.M or something. And now I am super tired and I feel sick writing this blog.

Chinese Lantern Festival

I went to Segerstrom hall and I watched many shows. It was fun I; got to make lanterns. I made lanterns and after that I watched the show and people sang, dance, played in the orchestra, and people also played their wind or brass instrument it was kinda boring.

For lunch I got to eat ice cream and I ate a little bit of this rice. Also, everything was a food truck and the lines took like 20 minutes each. The ice cream that I ordered was strawberry flavored with a waffle thing or it was called a funnel cake; and it was funny because when I held it it was hot an it was also cold. I also made the lantern which I put little flowers on; it was simple. When I got home I made this little dog lantern (it is the year of the dog) the LED light that I put in it was rainbow and it would light up. During the time that I was there (which was like 4 hours) I had to deal with my annoying sister that kept on bugging me.

I Learned to Write Calligraphy!

The title might not make sense, but I watched a few YouTube videos about calligraphy, and now I can write calligraphy (kind of)! So, I learned that in calligraphy you need a brush pen, but I watched another video and she used highlighters, I also found that you can just use normal pen. So, first you need to write in cursive, and then all the down strokes (the strokes that you make and they are supposed to be facing you) must be darker and the up strokes stay the same (the upstrokes are the strokes that you make that don't face you). That is basically it. I am completely obsessed with calligraphy now and I have been doing many art projects with calligraphy writing. I learned all this from a YouTuber called studyquill.

Think Before You Speak

"Ow!"

"Are you okay?"

"I guess..."

Neviah didn't understand what had happened. Madison suddenly had tripped on.. it seemed, a stick? She didn't understand she just didn't... 

Well, maybe it was me.. I said something about making Madison trip because she was actually hurting my best friends with words... Oh well, just a coincidence, I doubt it. Neviah thought, but little did she know, whatever she said: good or bad, would come true if it was a wish. Earlier Neviah had said, "I wish that Madison would trip, she is so rude." And it came true. This was the day when I learned my power. I am Neveah Brown, now ruler of the entire America, it was what I wished for, and so I got it. 13 years ago, I was 12 in middle school, and I didn't believe it, but now I know.

"I really wish that I will pass this test.. it's 50% of our grade, Lucy!" I stated.

"Yeah, same. I studied though, you?" Lucy asked.

"I.. Uh... Yeah.. I guess," I lied.

"You sure? Oh well, good luck!"

I took the history test, and when I got it back..

"A 92%... Well, that's not what I expected," Lucy said.

"That's good!" I commented.

"So.. what'd you get?" she asked me.

"An A+.."

"WHAT?! GOOD JOB! Why do you sound so sad?"

"Because I didn't study and I got a good grade! I don't understand!"

"Well.. It's good.. So live with it, girl!"

"O-oh kay."
