Happy Birthday And A New Experience
Hey, first, I want to wish a family member a very happy birthday. They’ve helped me get as far as I am now with my actual website, which isn’t up yet for the public. Though, no one can see it, so I better come up with something better. They’ve helped me throughout my journey, that fits it. Anyway, I have a lot to tell about my day.
First, today at school, every other Wednesday of the month, during CCP (like a study hall - the last period of the day) we have clubs, or a separate activity to “meet” others. Really, it’s just done so the school can say that they do actually try to do something to stop bullies and let you meet peopl,e you wouldn’t otherwise. Oh yeah, the other Wednesdays during CCP, we have a bullying program! Yeah, great fun for the school.
Anyway, since I seem to have something for writing, I choose to go out for the school newspaper. And let me tell you, that was a big mistake. Here’s what a normal period, or 45 minutes of my life, would be like.
First 5 minutes - Wonder around the school for a minute, remembering that I never really knew which classroom to meet in. Once I remember that we actually meet in the “Computer Lab”, attendance is taken.
Next 10 - I now remember that I have nothing to do, so while staring at a blank screen for a few minutes, I wait for the instructor to finish talking to some other people.
Final 30 minutes - After completing the task that’s needed, I can just check the spelling, yawn, clean my glasses, and tie my shoes for about 15. Finally, I contradict whether I should log of my computer this minute, or wait another.
See, so every other Wednesday for a period I must battle wasting time. So, that part of my day was pretty wasted. Aside from that, nothing else really worth talking about happened. So, see you later. More meat tomorrow.

Hey young whippersnapper, thanks for the birthday wish. It’s good to be remembered.
I’ve got a tip for you: try spicing up your text with some of that HTML you are learning. You first might want to test it out before you submit it to your blog. For example you could say
So we were stopped at a red light in NYC when all of the sudded I heard a loud voice
Hey, man, you want your windows washed or whhhhhaaattttt??? I’ll clean
those windows for you blah blah blah blah
Or, you could put your classroom experience in a list:
First five minutes — blah blah blah picked my nose
Second five minutes — blah blah blah blah
Third five minutes — blah blah blah blah
You get the point. With HTML, you have extra powers to engage the reader, and break up the monotony of regular text.
Anyhoo, gotta go!

Sigh — I take back my last comment because it appears that your blog stripped out my own exciting HTML that I added. Oh well …
