End of My Summer Job & Moving to a New Condo!

Hi Everyone,

So, if you didn't know, I had a summer job testing school curriculum.  I worked for Power Learning.  It was a cool job because all I had to do was work online.  I logged on the laptop every morning, put on my headset, and connected to the teleconference.  Then I gave feedback to one of the developers.  The work was easy, I made some online friends who are other teens and I got paid $120!  Too bad my job just ended but it was fun!



These days, I'm getting ready for the big move.  We are moving into a three story condo.  My mom says it's very nice but I haven't seen it yet.  I'm really excited though because I'm going to be near the Town Green, where everything is going on and a lot of teenagers hang out in the summer.  My room will be on the second floor, which is above the garage.  We are going to go all out in converting the garage this time into a serious gaming room.  The only thing that my mom won't buy for my gaming satisfaction is Modern Warfare (the game).  She says I can have that game when I move out.  That sucks!  But my mother is still cool because she does buy me a lot of games and accessories for me and my friends to play with.





What else is new?  I've been golfing a lot lately and I'm getting ready to play in tournaments this fall.  I even go when I don't have a lesson.  My goal is to golf every single day!  I'm looking for sponsors because golfing is really expensive.  I also want to invite anyone that wants to join me to golf with me or just hit balls at the driving range.  With enough practice, I will be totally awesome, ha ha... like Ben Hogan.  And check out this video of a 9 year old making a hole in one.


Just a few days ago, I went to the fair with my family and my mom made me go on the Shooting Star!  I'm a big chicken so I didn't want to go on that but I did.  It goes 40mph in the daytime but up to 60mph at night.  Crazy!  I went on the Cliffhanger and my poor mom got dizzy and couldn't go on rides after that.  After that I went on every ride at the fair, including Black Widow.  My sister got sick on the Black Widow and then SHE couldn't ride any more rides!  Now, I realize, I should have taken a friend because my whole family were too wimpy to handle the fast rides.  But that's okay.  We still had fun.

Civil War Days at Duncan Mills

Hi,

We went to the Civil War reenactment at Duncan Mills today and it was fun!

We saw The First Battle of Bull Run.  They used real guns and cannons loaded with powder but no bullets.  Here are some pictures I took.

By the way, I ran into my friend, Parker, there.  Hi Parker!

Enjoy the pics.

My New Job

I currently have a job testing school curriculum and materials. I will have this job for two weeks and at the end of these two weeks, I will be paid $120 and that is enough for my ticket to Disney Land.  We want to go there this fall.




After I get off work, I go to St. Eugene's and then to Huntington Learning Center.  The best part of the day is when I get to go golfing.  Sometimes I golf with my teacher, Mr. Damien, and sometimes I golf alone.  But this Monday, I'm golfing with my good friends, Nick and Shiel.  Shiel's family is from India.
