   On Sunday while my sisters were sleeping over I had a fantastic day! I woke up at around 5 AM but I went back to sleep very soon after. I then woke up at the same time as my sister Roni, who woke up at 7 am. I got up, and went downstairs to get my Nintendo Switch. I walked back upstairs quietly not to wake up my sister and her boyfriend who were each on a couch. I sat on the floor in my room and  took out the Splatoon 2 cartridge and replaced it with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. After about 50 minutes of me playing we all got dressed and went out to eat breakfast. We went to a breakfast place called Eggbeater. Since the actual diner was full, they sent us to the bar. We sat at a long table with ten seats and one extra for some reason. A few minutes later my brother and his girlfriend showed up and we all ordered our drinks. After about 10 minutes we all ordered our food, I got the Denver Omelette. Our orders came and we all started eating. Once we finished ...

     During the weekend my sisters slept over! On Saturday I was waiting almost the whole day for them to come over, they ended up coming at around 6:00 pm. We all went to the kitchen and ate dinner. Since I already had my dinner I ended up just playing a game called Outlast in the living room. Once my sisters finished eating we all sat in the living room and started playing UNO, my oldest sister Maricris (her real name is Maria Christina, but we call her Maricris) and her boyfriend Mark wanted to play Mario Kart, so I just went with them. I turned on my Nintendo Switch and logged onto my account, then gave each of them a controller. We all chose our characters, of course I chose the inkling girl. We played 4 rounds my older sister getting more angry each time she lost, and Mark getting happier each time he was closer to winning. I, being a professional at Mario Kart, won every time! Later on at around 10:00 pm Roni and Maricris wanted to get some ice cream, we all went d...

  Friday, March 24, during math I had an incentive day! Basically there is a percentage in Khan Academy, a few weeks ago I had 9%. My teacher Ms. Choe made it so we had to go up at least 10% to get our incentive. We did not know what our incentive was we just needed to get 10% to find out on a later date. On Friday in the morning my teacher announced what we would be doing for our incentive and who earned it. At 9:20 we found out the incentive was to eat ice cream instead of doing math. The people who earned the incentive including me left to the next room. The teacher called up my table and served me chocolate and vanilla. I got sprinkles and chocolate syrup then went back sat down, and ate it.

   It’s been a while since I did a Slice of Life, but here I am! Yesterday was my last day of PARCC testing and we ended it with a math test. The third math test was the shortest out of all of them, it was definitely the hardest out of all of them though. The test was 11 questions long and it was stressing me out, to be honest a few of my answers were just me guessing because I really didn’t know how to do them. After I finally finished my test I opened my sketchbook and started drawing a few characters, I don’t ever really think about who I’m drawing, I just draw. I was sort of thinking of Aphrodite when I drew this character, she wore a yellow robe dress thing, long hair, and a crown made of golden leaves.

    Today we started PARCC testing! I’m always nervous before we start it, but it really is nothing to worry about. Today we did the first ELA test, in my opinion it was very easy to complete. The questions were pretty simple and I didn’t have to do much work. There were also only 11 questions. Once I finished my test I opened up my sketchbook and started drawing and sketching out a few character designs. I stole my friend Jimmy’s colored pencils so I could color my drawings. For the rest of the week and some of next week we will be testing. If I’m being honest I like doing tests more than actual work because you don’t actually have to learn anything!

    During the weekend there was an event called the splatfest for Splatoon 2. The teams were Chicken Came First vs Egg Came First. Since I like going against science I chose team Chicken. I was playing all day and eventually became the rank “Chicken King” my character was using the male model so he was a Chicken King. I didn’t like that rank though because is didn’t sound as good as Chicken Champion, which is the rank before Chicken King. My cousin and my two online friends had the idea to change all our names to my username, use the same gear, same weapon, and be on the same team. When we killed people they wouldn’t know who is who which would be confusing. After three rounds we changed our name to one of my other friends, changed our gear, weapon, etc. the next day after the Splatfest had ended my team had won! After that I went to the Nintendo Direct since I hadn’t watched it yet, and it was announced there was going to be an Octo Expansion Pack! I ended up convincing my M...

        Last night I had been playing Splatoon 2 with friends when I was getting a little hungry. After the third round I left and told my friends I would be back in about five minutes. Instead of getting actual dinner I just got some chips and this black and lemon tea. I walked into my room holding the tea and the chips and sat at my desk along with my Nintendo Switch. I talked to my friends taking a few sips of the tea and eating some chips. Me and my friend ended up playing hide and seek in splatoon and I lost because she kept giving away my spot... it was still really fun though! I ended up leaving to go talk to my other friend Paetyn and play regular battles with him. After about half an hour we left.

        I woke up at around 7:01, since I fell asleep on the floor my back hurt a bit. I got up and it was extremely sunny outside. I got dressed for school and put away my stuff. Since I had an hour before school I turned on my Nintendo Switch and played a bit of Splatoon 2, surprisingly every game I played I won! I stopped playing and went downstairs so I could eat some cereal right before I had to leave to school. I got out the milk, a bowl, a spoon, and Krave cereal. I quickly ate it and grabbed my backpack and iPad bag and went out the door into the car. It took about five minutes to get to school I got out of the car and walked across the road. I went inside the school and now I’m in class!

      My dad had told me to go to Walgreens which is outside of my house across the street to go buy tomato sauce so he could make something for dinner. I went upstairs to get my shoes, my phone, and my earbuds. I connected to a voice chat with my online friends and talked to them along the way to Walgreens. It started raining on the way and I was really cold as I was only wearing a sweater and some leggings. I walked across the street into Walgreens and went into an isle with a bunch of cans. I looked down and found one can of tomato sauce, then looked on the other side to find another can of tomato sauce. I grabbed them both and walked to the cashier and handed him 10 dollars even though it cost two. He gave me my change and I made my way back home. I opened my house and went inside to give my dad the change and the cans of tomato sauce. My dad then told me to make rice. He told me three cups of rice and then four to four and half cups of water. I put in three cups of r...

   Since I had nothing to do I thought of playing with my cats. I went downstairs from my room and got out the cat toys. My cats came running up to me and started clawing at the toys as soon as they saw them in my hands, leaving me with about 6-7 scratches on my hand. I yelped because the younger cat, Aaron scratched my hand and his claw cut my skin. I was pretty much used to getting a lot of scratches so I just let it be. Since their scratching post was out I put some catnip on it and the female cat Arya walked over to it and started purring and rolling around on it. I grabbed a mouse toy with a bell inside and threw it across the floor and Aaron chased it while Arya was holding a pink unicorn plush in her mouth and continues to roll on the scratching post with catnip on it. It got late pretty quickly so I put the toys where they could continue playing with them and went upstairs.

      Since I had slept over at my cousins house, my dad picked me up. Once I said goodbye to my Aunt Lisa and my two cousins I walk outside and hop into the car. I open up my Switch and open the game “Super Mario Odyssey” The game loads and I’m in Bowser’s Kingdom. I left off there because I felt I needed a break for that game since I was terrible at it! I played the game for a bit screaming in my head because I kept dying, which led to me losing money... I eventually fell asleep? If I am being honest, I didn’t notice I fell asleep. I woke up after what seemed like two seconds got out of the car and stretched. I went up to my room, and now I’m writing a blog! And this is how I end it.

     We had just finished playing just dance when I the five year old game Outlast finally downloaded on my Nintendo Switch. Me and my cousin Mj plug my Switch into the dock and open up Outlast. I quickly open Discord and video call Jimmy so he can walk me through the game. I make a new game and Jimmy tells me once I get out of the car that the character is driving to go through the small gate on the side, I start playing around and walk into the wall instead of the gate! I finally actually listen to Jimmy and walk through the gate. I finally get into the asylum and it’s extremely scary. I walk over through a few doors, when I finally go through one and a human body hanging from their foot.. my cousins and I literally screamed! I had to go into the security office and try to use the power. The power then turned off then I had to go into a closet to hide to avoid dying, I was too scared to continue so I finally closed the game.

   I’m sitting in a cold car about to make my way to school. I open up my phone and open the app “Discord” I click a server with the icon of a Dolphin on it called “Sandwich v4.” I start to complain on the server about my math quiz in first period. My friend started yelling me and saying “Ace that test!!” I continued complaining until he muted me on the text channel so I couldn’t text anyone at one point. I went into his direct messages and begged him to unmute me. I told him I was studying and showed him a picture of my finished homework... that I did two weeks ago. He thought I was currently doing it so he unmuted me on the server. After a few minutes I finally arrived at school, turned off my phone, and made my way inside the gym.

   Yesterday, after school I was playing Splatoon 2. My Nintendo Switch friend invited me to his Salmon Run online lounge to play. I was about to take a nap since I felt as if I were to fall asleep, but I got the notification saying “Crunchy has invited you to their room!” I turned on my Nintendo Switch and opened up Splatoon, I walked over to the shady corner where the lobby for Grizzco stood in the top left corner of the map. I pressed the Online Lounge and joined his Salmon Run lounge. There was 100% lots and lots of screaming and dying involved but we made it to the end without losing, surprisingly. We lost the game in the second half, three bosses were trying to kill us the boss called Griller, Drizzler, and Maws. I was the last player alive until the Drizzler of course killed me... It was a very suspenseful game, it was also foggy, high tide, and night.
