    The whole class is now working on revising their essays and Ms. Nakada explained that she and many students will be going on a field trip tomorrow. The students that will be in class will get a sub and have to write a letter to incoming 8th graders giving advice and must read books and etc...
Everyone seems to be talking or revising their essays.  Yesterday a lot of the 8th graders went to Magic Mountain for the class field trip. I found the trip enjoyable, I don't know about everyone else.

      The Pacers killed the Heat which is good because I think the Heat have won enough. The Kings lost... I am not really a big hockey fan but, if I had to choose a team I would choose the kings because they are LA's team. We started arguing about Kevin Love and Ms. Nakada said he should have gone to Oregon and she doesn't like him for that. I strongly disagree with her. He came to UCLA and went to final four something he would never do at Oregon. His team was full of NBA stars, Darren Collison, Russell Westbrook, Aaron Affalo (I think), Luke M'ha Mouta and plenty of other guys in the league.

Honestly, I am very sick of school now. I have been at Emerson for too long and I can't wait to go to high school. I am still unsure of where to go though. It will be a hard decision but, whatever.
