The Start of School!

I can't believe that the summer is almost over! In less than a week school will start! I can't wait till I meet the new forth graders in my class. I am getting nervous about my school supplies, because we did not get most of them! I only have one day to get all my school supplies all together! I am sort of nervous of going to school again after a long relaxing seven week break! I am nervous because I forgot a lot of the math and science! All in all, I can't wait to go back to school again!

This week at camp!

This week, I went to camp at the Tech Museum! I went to Lego robotics advanced, and video game designing advanced. It was SO cool! Video game designing was great! The first day was horrible because I got homework, but the rest of the days went pretty smooth. The program that we made video games is multimedia fusion. You might think designing video games is pretty easy, but it was super hard! You had to do very complex commands just far a guy to stand on a brick! On Wednesday, we made a mixture a of sounds to create music for our video game. On Thursday we finally got the details of our game. Then, on Friday, we combined me and my partners levels together to make a really awesome game! My game was called time traveler 1. Our first level was in a village. The village had a store, a house trees, palaces, cottages, flowers, and more! The second level was defeating the bosses servants, to get there, you have to go to the very left of the village and you will get there! That level was alarming good, but it was very hard! The boss level was good to. Lego Robotics was excellent! We programmed the robot so it was going to get a ball wherever I throw it in the room. It worked when we practiced, but not when the parents came! All in all, this week at the Tech was great.

MT.WHITNEY!

This weekend I climbed Mt. Whitney! I could not make it to the top last time because my dad got me lost in the snow, and also we left at 12:00 am, so it was very, very dark. Never go in Spring, Fall or Winter because you will get lost in the snow! This time we made it because there was no snow, and also we made it because we left at 9:00 am. After 9:00, we went on the route. We passed a very beautiful meadow that had streams, fish, and plants. After a long time, we got to trail camp. we slept there for the night. The next morning we had to go through over a hundred and five switchbacks that were really long. You might think that it is very easy, but it seems that the path goes on forever! At 14,000 feet I kept throwing up! When I was going down from the mountain, my tummy really hurt, but I kept on going. Once I reached the tree line, I felt much better that oxygen was coming back into my lungs, but I could not swallow that well. After 12,000 feet going down, I went really fast to the bottom in 3-6 hours. The entire MT. Whitney path is 22 miles in total, round trip. The car ride back to San Jose was at least 7-8 hours, but I went to sleep. Please comment on this post if you have any questions, and I will answer them. Thanks!
