Happy Halloween! I know, I know, Halloween isn't until Wednesday. Yes I know that, and I also know I have been blogging a lot about Halloween lately; well, what do you expect me to blog about with Halloween so close!? Anyways, my church is having a Halloween party tonight. Every year all the little kids (in my church and some visitors) go trick-or-treating around my church. They go to all these classrooms and ask for candy. This year, my friend ad I signed up to set up a classroom and hand out candy. Last night we set up our room and decorated it. We hung lights, streamers, and "Dead End" tape all around. It was super fun, the only problem is the lights. We hung them above the door but are nervous that they will fall and get slammed in  between the door. Plus, they are my moms lights and she told me to be careful with them. Luckily my friend and I nocticed the lights hanging and triple-taped all the lights back up! The sad thing is, who knows what happens over night? Oh well! I guess we will just have to find out! For now...Trick-or-treat? BOO!!!
 
     So, yesterday I got home and swam! After all, it was 95 degrees! After that I showered and got ready for dinner, pushing homework a little bit back. Dinner was pushed back and shopping for Halloween costumes took its place. 
     As I planned, I was going to be a minion from Despicable Me. My mom, grandma, and I looked on line for a little bit and found this really cool Alice In Wonderland costume. The costume was a dress from the 2nd movie. The one with Johnny Dep as the Mad Hatter. I really liked the costume but it was way to expensive. So we decided I should be the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, just from the first movie. We shopped and I found the coolest costume ever! I have a little crown and tights with a really fun dress. I'm so excited for Halloween! I can't wait to show people my costume! So that was my "little" change in the plan. The nice thing was... I still finished all my homework.
 
     As everyone (should) knows, Halloween is comping up! I love Halloween and am really excited to get candy and dress up in funny clothes. This year is going to be great because I am going to dress up as a minion from Despicable Me. I love that movie but started to question my self as I planned out my look for the costume. I thought, "Am I to old to dress up for Halloween?"  


     It made me sad, I really wanted to dress up for Halloween, I mean, everyone in my family dresses up. I don't want to stop and to be honest, after thinking about it, I don't plan too. I love Halloween and trick-or-treating, BOO!

 
     I like good news and a few weeks ago I got some! I'm moving! You would probably think that was sad for me, but everything is the same except for the house! The house is really big! It has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a pool, dining room, and grass! I'm really excited! My school will be the same, too, so that's all good. Our new house is a little old though. It has "popcorn" celings. My mom doesn't really like the look of the celings so my dad went in and started to scrape them. The celings look like cream cheese. I don't like cream cheeese, so it's probably best we are getting rid of them. I'm really happy I am able to move to a new home, I hope we have fun living in it. I guarentee we will!
 
   "Katelyn," Katelyn's mom smiled as she wiped of the granite counters in the kitchen, "Would you like to come to the store with me?"  Katelyn had absolutely no intrist in going to a "store" but Katelyn had nothing going on at the moment (like she ever would) so she went. Katelyn's mom unlocked the front door, "I thought we should walk. After all, the town is so small and we've been in the car for days."  Katelyn's mom smiled and started down the driveway. "So what do you think of the house? Do you like it? I know it was a change... just it was for the better. You'll make friends here too."  Katelyn kicked a rock into the road, "It's fine. I guess, I don't like my room or the or the house, or the city. Other than that, though, everythings great!"  No one talked the way to the store, once they found out they had no idea where they were going, they did. "Alright, lets see... the bakery is right there which means the grocery outlet is right there." Kately's mom poitned to a blank, empty, lot, holding nothing but trash and dirt. "Here we are."

    Katelyn had absolutely nothing to do. She sat in her new room, looking out the window. There was nothing but old stores and shops. Only a few people roamed around. Others ate outside while cars drove by. A drop of rain ran down her window. Katelyn followed the rain drop with her finger. Her new room was nothing but full of boxes. Katelyn opened a box to reveal her books that would stand on her bookshlelf. Another box contained clothes. and another contained her shoes. Katelyn realized this town was going to be very boring, since she liked to be a dectective. Katelyn smiled at the thought. She remembered visiting her grandma's house when she was young and playing out in her tall pine trees in her backyard. While unpacking a bit, Katelyn wondered what she would do for fun in this town. There was nothing suspicious aboout this town other than its place on the map! 
    "Katelyn! We have company!" Katelyn slowly made her way downstairs, trying not to get lost. Downstairs stood her mom, her dad, and a thin man who wore a bell-boy suit. He was tall and thin and something was wrong with the side of his lip because it looked like it had been stitched together somehow. He had gray hair that poked out of his hat. He did a small bow to Katelyn and turned to her parents. "I am Tom. Tom Gritchmandine. This house is old, are yuo sure you want to buy it?" he asked, Katelyn's parents nodded. The man went on, "Alright then." he tossed keys into Katelyn's dad's hands and tipped his hat. "I live over on Jerimiah Lane, just down the street...if you need me."

 
  Every teacher at Computech wants you to read. Every school with every teacher I've had wants you to read. I do read, and I've read many good books. A book I am currently reading is "Catching Fire" the second book for the "Hunger Games" series. I like this book, even though everything is very bloody. I've enjoyed the series so far and am always on the edge of my seat when I read. The book is pretty well sized and get you a lot of points on Reading Counts! I am almost done with the book! I am really and excited to finish it because I have no idea what will happen next. 
    The book "Catching Fire", is a very bloody battle book. Katniss Everdeen is sent back into the arena to fight for the Quarter Quell. She makes allies with Finnick and Mags from another district which seem strange at first but turn into to be useful and kind allies. Later Peeta and Katniss find secrets out about the arena, it's a clock! Anything the capital does, whether its acid rain or fire, happens on an hour! Will Katniss and Peeta survive... with Finnick O'dair?
    I am really enjoying the "Catchng Fire" book! It is a sad and bloody book, but  it is fun to see how things turn out! If you are ever looking for a good book, read "The Hunger Games".


 
     Katelyn watched as her friends shrunk into specks as her family drove away. She thought about all that she was leaving behind, her friends, school, and family. She didn't want to do it, but her parents gave her no choice, she wasn't eighteen, she was twelve. Her parents told her everything, everything they had been keeping from her since they found out themselves. How they were moving and why. Katelyn didn't really understand. Just because of a job offer? She thought it was stupid, hoping they would stay and decline the offer. But where is she now? Sitting in her parents car, driving, to Volcom, Vermont.
    
    Volcom, Vermont is a small... town with a population of 1, 825 people. Vocom, is so small, it's covered up by the "V' in Vermont. If you were to look on a map, you wouldn't see it, at all. Nothing is known about it. It's and old, laid-down, town. Full of churches, streets, schools, shops, and bakerys. Of course, Katelyn and her family never saw any of these things. Only because nobody knows about Volcom. No one ever had.

 
       I have read so many funny books about middle school. Either the kids a geek, just moved in, or has no life. Sometime in the book the kid gets made fun of, or makes a really bad move, or gets shoved in a locker. Well, I am here to say that that is not true. Middle school is really a place where everyone is really close in age, grade, and intelligence. It's like a elementary school with only two grades but the same amount of students. I was really nervous about middle school. Everyone says its so awkward in middle school, but I don't see what they're talking about. Middle school is really fun when you have friends. They can help you out with anything you need and will always be there for you. Even if you don't have any friends at your school, its not hard to make any. Like I said earlier, everyone at middle school is a student just like you! 
    Middle school is something to look forward too, not to aviod thinking about. It is going to come one day, why not prepare. Remember that at your new (middle) school, you should make new friends, but don't forget about keeping your old ones!
