I have read Holes, but I dont think I have read the other ones. They sound good! I speak spanish so that one might be fun to read!! 

Do you speak any other languages?

I speak a tiny bit of Spanish, only a little because my family has been helping the immigrants who arrived from Texas (I live in Chicago) and to help them and be hospitable, I need to be able to know basic Spanish. A lot of the immigrants are Venezuelan, and actually we're having three of them (a couple and their niece who's in her twenties) over to make arepas together on Saturday.

I'm a lot better at intrepreting Spanish than speaking it, but...

And I also know basic French as well, I'm taking a class, and its been really helpful.

Wow, thats really cool that you do that! I just looked up what arepas are and they look amanzing!!! I hope you have fun making them.

 

 

My spanish teacher somtimes does cooking classes a she taught us how to make pupusas. they were so yummy!!

It's awesome that you are learing french! My family and I went to Paris a few years ago and my dad was the only one of us who could speek french. Once when he was trying to order me apple juice he acsidently said potato juice! Bc the words are so similar!!

Do you have any summer plans?

Bro. I am so bad at keeping up with all my posts. aasdfghjkl i did it again...

Umm....Summer plans.. I think I'm going to the pool a lot with my friends (i bought a lot of sour patch kids specifically for that and its been rly difficult not eating them lol) and i have an art camp I'm doing with freinds. Also an aquatics camp--this is my second year doing it and we get to do tubing, paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and other stuff too.

I also really love picnics, so I'm hoping to do several with a group this summer. The issue for me is not buying too much food for it lollll

Haha I probably have more things going on but thats all i can rly remember at this point. 

Also thats hilarious about the potato juice thing--is potato juice even something you can buy?? I can see how he mixed the words up though, pomme le terre is potato but apple is just pomme...So it makes sense. 

I've always wanted to go to Paris. Maybe my family will go sometime--my mom went for a year as a student in high school, which I definitely want to do. She knows most all of French, there's just a few words she doesn't know. But it's been a help because she can teach me French since I'm homeschooled.

Your summer sounds fun!!!

after that we are going to go to Idaho to visit my great grandma.

and then I have a Shakspeare camp were we perform a litttle scene at the end of the camp. 

I just looked up Potato Juice and its actualy a thing! it says that it has a lot of good heath benifets. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I hope you do get to go to Paris someday!

What are some of your favorite movies to watch?

Hmmmm....If Hamilton counts, then definitely Hamilton. I have a weird thing about this movie called the Christmas Dragon, (which by the way, is a terrible movie, but its hilarious in that its terrible, and many jokes among me and my friends have spawned from that movie) Honestly, watch it only if you want to watch a really sucky movie, but one that's so bad you'll laugh.

I loved Slumberland, and Into the Woods is so good too. I dont watch movies too often, usually just musicals. Hehe. The Sea Beast was reeaaallly fun to watch. 

And....although its kinda cliche....To all the boys i loved before was...kinda...good. Dont judge lol.

And Enola Holmes. Very interesting, a little scary, but ultimately my kind of movie. And I hate the plot of High School Musical, but the songs I love.

OMG! Are you and I the same person?! I absolutely love all of those movies! I am actually going to go see into the woods (the play) this summer! I have never seen the Christmas dragon but I get what you mean with 'the its so bad you laugh' thing. I have also never seen to all the boys I loved before. 

Also for my 8th grade graduation I go the hunger games!!!

Andddd....I said something else but classic Admins just took out my entire half of the post--was I not supposed to put the high school? And if not, just take out THE HIGH SCHOOL that im going to. You guys are really frustrating me lately.

And I get that you want us to be safe, but how is taking out half of our posts being safe? if there's something you deem "unsafe" like the vague name of a high school, then just take that tiny part out. no need for the whole paragraph to be deleted.

We're not allowed to let users share personal information. That includes the name of their school. I don't know about the rest of your comment, because it was reviewed by a different Admin. But I trust each Admin to follow CB guidelines. There mush have been a reason.

Awww sorry your coment got deleted...

Can you try and write it again with less personal infomation?

Nah, its okay. Id rather not waste time rewriting something and then its deleted again. 

Anyway today im going to a Chicago Cubs baseball game today and im super excited. I'm going with my friend Gavyn.  Well i guess our families are going together, but whatever. I'm not usually a sports kinda girl, but baseball games are fun i suppose. 

My all time favorite sport to watch but also to compete in is rowing though. I don't get to go to regattas a lot but my friend (whos going with me to the cubs game) and i love to go together when we get the chance. 

Do you have a favorite sport that you like to watch/play?

Go, Cubs!
