New book!

Ok so I found a new book in sunriver and it looked interesting so I bought it, and it’s like in second place (behind the 2 princesses of Bamarre) for my all-time favorite book! Here’s what the back says:

“Before he knew about the Roses, sixteen-year-old Jack lived an unremarkable life in the small Ohio town of Trinity. Only the medicine he has to take daily and the thick scar above his heart set him apart from the other high schoolers. Then one day Jack skips his medicine. Suddenly, he is stronger, fiercer, and more confident than ever before. And it feels great-until he loses control of his own strength and nearly kills another player during soccer team tryouts.

Soon, Jack finds out the startling truth about himself: he is Weirlind, part of an underground society of magical people who live among us. At their helm sits the feuding houses of the Red Rose and the White Rose, whose power is determined by playing the Game-A magical tournament in which each house sponsors a warrior to fight to the death. The winning house rules the Weir.

As if his bizarre heritage isn’t enough, Jack finds out that he’s not just another member of the Weirlind-he’s one of the last of the warriors-at a time when both houses are scouting for a player.”

 

Ok, so that’s what caught my attention. But as I started reading it, it got so much better, it was amazing! full of unexpected twists in the storyline, suspense (I literally wouldn’t put it down unless someone was screaming at me to do so) and so much epic adventure that I loved it even more! Ok so this book is called ‘The Warrior Heir’ and it’s by Cinda Williams Chima. It’s a great book and I VERYhighly recommend it!

Finals week

Ok, so finals week is pretty much the most torturing, and painful, and stressful week of the entire school year! Right? yeah! So on my first day of finals I have French 2 final (200 QUESTIONS LONG!), and photography (which is about a bunch of stuff that we never learned in class!). Day 2 I have Foods (which you wouldn’t think would be hard, but it was all about mearsuring, and ‘calories per gram’, and vitamins, ect. so it was hard), Biology (I was really worried about this one, because it would decide whether or not I got to do anything fun this summer if you know what I mean) and Geometry (I;m good at math It just took a long time.) In my geometry final we had to write a letter to a troop over in Iraq. My geometry teacher Mr.Lake said thaat he read mine, and it was the best one he’d read of that day! and that mine was going on top of the stack (which is a big deal :) ). Day 3 I had English (it’s all about poetry so I knew it) and honors American Government (ouch the title sounds harsh, but it acctually wasn’t that bad [but then again, I acctually studied for this one. lol]) So, yeah finals was hard and painful, but even though I wanted summer to start and finals to end, I still wanted the week to slow down, so I could be with my friends longer. I’m gonna miss them, and you know that my friends from school really have no lives so, they’ll never try to get together with anyone else. haha. so finals (avoid at all cost) should have a warning with it: “Warning: May cause brain failure, brain black outs, harsh attitudes, and other unpleasent symptoms. TAKE AT YOUR OWN RISK!”
