Outside Reading

For my outside reading book i have decided to read The Ghost War by Alex Berenson. Both my mom and dad have read the book and they both agree that it is one of the best books that they have ever read. It is about a CIA agent trying to stop a very devistating terrorist attack from happening and he is trying very hard to let everyone know. But no one will believe him so he tries to get evidence on how that it is true and the CIA finally finds out that it is true so they try to stop the deadly attack. But meanwhile a deadly power play in China and a mission gone wrong in Iran everything is crashing down and he has to try to take care of everything and in this story John Wells is a hero and he is very brave in this novel. He is like a 007 type of guy. I am very excited to read this book because i have heard nothing but raves about it and it is one of the best sellers i hear so it is a nail biting book that should be pretty good. Till next blooger cyaaa

Football Game

It was 2 Fridays ago when I attended the Edina vs. Hopkins football game at Kulhman Field. It was a good time and pretty much everyone was there. I showed up with about 5 of my friends and we were a little bit late because we had went to chipotle before the game and when we got there it was packed and we had to go sit in seats that weren’t by are friends. After a while when some people would leave we would go jack the good spots. It was a good game and I didn’t get to see the end of it because Hopkins was blowing us out of the water so I had no intention to stay and watch a blowout. But their was a lot of funny stuff that I saw as well. It was in the middle of the 2nd quarter and I was dozing off and out of the corner of my eye I saw a friend of mine crowd surfing and I got a good laugh out of that. That’s just 1 example o f the crazy and funny stuff I saw that night. All in all it was a pretty good night.

If i had to choose one journey that i intended to take it would be my trips down to Belize. I have gone there 4 times in my life and evrytime i go down there it just gets better and better. You can pretty much do what ever you want down there and there is so much to do. Everything is with in walking distance so there are no cars, just bikes. The fishing down there is some of the best you will ever see. Everyone is freindly down there cause evryone knows everyone. The food is awesome because there is alot of wierd things to eat but there all really good. When your there you dont have to worry about anything. All of those are reasons why i intenede to go to Belieze for my journey.

My name is Alec. This is my super cool blog, which I will personalize and make my own (but not post pics of myself on or use my last name on). I will always use appropriate language on my school blog and follow the conventions of the English language.The expectation for this assignment is that I post on my blog once a week for the remainder of the school year. I am expected to comment on texts that I am viewing in the world around me. These might include, but are not limited to: books, magazines, movies, internet articles, television shows, trips to museumes, etc.Each post should be at least 200 words. Each weekly post is due by 8am on that wednesday. Therefore, Q1 due dates are: 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22 and 10/29. THat makes for a total of 7 posts this first quarter. I understand that blogs are worth 100 points per quarter and are graded holistically (I will receive the rubric from Mrs. B. soon). U also understand that vlogging is a significant component of my quarter grade. By the way, what I have just typed is only 196 words! Now it is 200!
