Stop, Drop, and Roll a.k.a. School, Drool, and Rules :)

Part 1: School

 So this school year I have been taking:

1. Algebra 2

2. Grammar for 8th grade

3. French (very loosely though, I’m taking my time with it, but I do like it!)

4. Logic ( very, very lose, I had already done some of the lessons yet I’m still moving slowly.)

5. History

6. Geography

7. Swim Team is my P.E.

8. Art ( one of my fav. c lasses!)

Part 2: Drool

Hogan has been fine, we went through a time, a while ago, where he wouldn’t eat, but we changed his food and he eats now. He doesn’t actually drool or at least not very often, he does lick me, though I don’t like it very much when he does that. Hogan had a appointment with the vet, who told us that Hogan could stand to lose a pound. So we have been walking him more often and we cut his food back, he doesn’t like being on a diet. I show you guys  a picture of him soon! 🙂 

Part 3: Rules

Dying to Meet You, is this childrens’ book I read a while ago, but I looked at it the other day and I was laughing out loud at this piece of dialogue. First you need to know that a boynamed Seymour lives with a ghost named Olive in a house. Second, you need to know that Mr. Grumply is a really grumpy guy, who is trying to write a book,while renting the house from Seymour’s parents, who are on a trip and are trying to get rid of Seymour. Enjoy!

 

Seymour:

Because of a grievous oversight on my part, it appears we will be spending the summer together. As such, I wish to establish a few house rules.

Rule 1: You will not bother me while I’m writing

Rule 2: You will stay out of my bedroom and bathroom at all times.

Rule 3: You will not lurk in doorways or dark hallways.

Rule 4: You will not pester me with requestsfor autographs or signed copies of my books.

Rule 5: If we must communicate, we will do so in writing. You may leave letters for me outside my bedroom door. Otherwise you are not permitted on the second floor of the house, which I’ve claimed as my own for the duration of the summer.

From the second floor, I.B. Grumply

 

Mr. Grumply,

I read your rules. I have a few to add.

House rules continued

Rule 6: You will not tell me what time to go to bed.

Rule 7: You will not tell me what to eat or when to eat it.

Rule 8: You will not play old man music on the stereo.

Rule 9: I won’t ask for your autograph if you won’t ask me to read any of your books. I’ve never read a Ghost Tamerbook in my life. I don’t really like reading. I’d rather draw.

Rule 10: You can leave letters for me outside my room. Other then that, you’re not allowed on the third floor.

-Seymour Hope

 

Seymour,

Good job standing your ground! This Grumply charactor is a piece of work- and I don’t mean artwork. Did you know that he is responsible for those dreadful Ghost Tamer books. I’m reading the whole series now! Imagine a guy who thinks he can tame a ghost!

Love, Olive

 

(A little bit later in the book)

Seymour:

Now listen here young man! I have never stolen a library book in my life. And my name is Ignatius, not Olive. But I’d prefer if you call me Mr. Grumply in our communiques.

Losing my patience on the second floor, I.B. Grumply

 

Mr. Grumply,

I know what your name is. I was talking to someone else. Her name’s Olive and she lives in the cupola. She’s a ghost and my best friend. Sometimes she slams doors when she’s mad. She steals library books whenever she wants. I’m sure she’ll introduce herself to you when she feels like it. Right Olive?

 

-Seymour Hope

 

-Dying to Meet You   by, Kate Klise

 

The book is really funny and I wasn’t even reading the funniest parts, so I suggest it to you, I should have put it on my list of  books. 🙂
