No.10 home journals
It's indeed fun, the journals that I write at home helped at least 50% in my total improvements during the 8 months in this class, though sometimes I couldn't finish them on time.
No.9 Dictionary
Brilliant idea, but I haven't update it for a long time, seemed like we already ditched the idea of it.
No.8 In-class journals
I am mostly talking about the recipe! (________ writing) I love food, not many people know that my favourite channel is food network. Plus you can have ridiculously random ideas of the recipe because you won't really do the cooking anyways.
No.7 Holes
The reason why it's at no.7 is because we didn't really finish the book. It was kind of a crazy idea for digging holes in bad kids' camp.
No.6 Woe Is I Jr.
I haven't really talked about it through the months after I got it, but it's a great book, the pictures and the comics are very funny, and I needed it summer but I don't need it anymore. I think I graduated from it.
No.5 Frindle
The first book have ever read in the class. I learned pretty much from it. Though now it's too easy for me.
No.4 Comparisons
It used to be no.1, because I really enjoyed it but I don't want to be too arrogant, so it went down to no.4. From the first journal book to the third, from Frindle's first chapter to irs last, comparisons are really satisfying.
No.3 Tom is the TEACHER
You know I love to watch Jay Leno's show. He is the real genius. => That means I love talk shows. => That means I love to talk. => That means I love "Tom is the TEACHER".
No.2 EnglishSmart
The real cool stories in there, it's a grade 8 book so it's the closest to my present grade, which is a little bit harder to me at first, especially the crossword part... but now I found something really convinience to deal with the crosswords; answers are at the back!
No.1 WORD DUEL
Do I still need to explain?
Mai Ke Er Xie Er Si Fa Ming Le Quan Shi Jie Zui Hao De WORD DUEL!!!

Tea Balls!
A tea ball is the thing that keep leaves out of tea when brewing. It is formally called a tea infuser. It works exactly the same fuction as tea bag.
Tea balls became more and more popular is because there are more and more people started to drink tea, but most people don't like drinking WITH the leaves. And tea ball is cheaper and reusable, so it's more popular than tea bags.

No.3 This is It (orchestra version)
This is the only song in the movie that made me cry. As I know, some people cried in the theatre started from the commercials before the movie and ended until bed, non-stop. The lyrics has fit extremely perfectly about the intrigue of his death. How couldn't it make you cry?
No.2 Smooth Criminal
Michael's power never goes into dead ends. Smooth Criminal's lyrics, well, and the song itself, are all pointing to the bright side. If you hear this song in this album, than it means you can't forget him ever in your life anymore.
No.1 Human Nature
Human Nature is always my favourite than any Michael Jackson's songs, tens of superstars sing this song and put them into their albums, my favourite covers of this song are John Mayer's(with Guitar) and Matt Giraud's(with piano). Best song ever.
Xtra:
No.1 for least favourite
Jam
Not sure that why they put this song in such a front place, I just know that this song is a new one, but really not enjoying it.

Michael stayed at home for a week, for a restful week. The circus’ burnt has considered an accident, and now the new tent is building. He can go back to work after this weekend, after this crazy week.
Nina and Jonathan Riddleman were both arrested by criminal of fraud and indirectly murder, which frightened Michael Deschain and caused George Walsh’s death. The ring was taken by the police just for these days, and it will be returned to Michael when the trial sends Nina and Jon into jail. Also because of Michael has got life frightened, he got pretty much insurance money for that. He wants to get a new car, to replace Mint, which is the broken car that staying at Michael’s garage.
The ring was a marvelous piece of jewelry, with diamonds and ruby on it, peaceful and beautiful. In 1880s, it has been added some kind of false magic by some “magicians”, said that it could get power of the sun and took away people’s luck. Minerva Deschain got the ring and buried it in a case because she doesn’t want to see people’s luck has been taken away. Minerva recorded the whole thing in her journal, which Nina Riddleman found and read it, she researched about it, and wanted to get the ring by using her only great-grandson.
Michael wants to give the ring to the world by putting it into an auction. That is a good way for both the ring and Michael, and Michael will get away from bad luck, live and have a better live in the future.
The sun still rises. It rises for every human being.
The End

Chapter 9 The Forgotten Ring
Half an hour later, Jon arrived and picked Michael and Nina up, Mint was dead and parked by the road, and the engine was already not working. Michael was pretty upset about his car, he didn’t even know why did he drive so fast. Mint will be on the truck until it gets fixed.
Jon was putting Mint in his truck. “Nina!” He called. Nina came over, carefully, made sure that Michael was not looking at her, and took the gun from his father. Michael didn’t see her at that time, and he didn’t know their plan.
Briefly, they arrived into the Winslet Palace, which is a cave. Michael felt very well today, he’s just going in to this place, get his great grandmother’s ring, and decide what to do next. He didn’t even get a brain message after sitting on the truck. And also, he is prepared. He even brought his own pistol because yesterday George king really terrified him. He didn’t even know what was wrong with him. But he has confidence, he lost his job the day before yesterday, but he is now sure the job will come back to him right after this has done.
But he didn’t tell anyone that he brought his gun. Every step you take would be your biggest victory. Michael was so confident for that.
It was a deserted place with some trash that didn’t clean after construction. Nobody was here. Followed the map, they found a box on the ground quickly; Michael crouched down and opened it, saw a black jewelry box with a name on it. Minerva Deschain.
Here we go, Nina thought. Nina was the most nervous in them three, nobody knows her plan.
Michael opened the smaller box. The ring was right there with a Glad plastic wrap on it. Nina pulled out the pistol at the moment that she saw the ring safe. “Hands up! Stand up right there and don’t move!” Michael thought, that was what I want for exciting myself. He pulled his pistol out at the almost same time that Nina shouted out, and fired it.
An hour later, the police came and took away Nina and Jon, Jon had no gun, Michael knocked him down instead of shooting him. Nina was shot in right arm. Michael’s such a good shooter! Michael went to police office for statement, with his great grandmother’s ring.

Chapter 8 Flash and Forward
Finished checking everything, Mint, the Ford Mustang 1993 limited 107 Cobra R 335 hp, has driven into Hwy 495 again. But opposite way this time, Michael’s driving to east, city of Methuen.
The map showed the blueprint of his car, Mint, and the car was bought in Methuen, which is the city that Michael lived during high school. Jon didn’t come; he went to check George King today, only Nina sat beside Mike.
Every step that you take could be your biggest mistake. Yesterday night Michael got this message thru his brain.
Mint ran so fast. 80 mph. 85 mph. Every step that you take could be your biggest victory. Michael thought.
90 mph.
Jon drove into George Walsh’s parkway. He locked the door of his truck.
The door was open. Jon went in.u
A broken vase on the floor. The pistol, the…
Jon couldn’t calm anymore.
Nina’s phone rang. She didn’t even hear it right away; Mint was making a huge noise on the speed of 91 mph. It’s not even quite far from Lowell to Methuen, and Nina didn’t realize what’s actually going on. She answered the phone. “He’s done?” “Yes, go plan B, right away. I’m on my way there.” “You got his weapon?” “Ya, in my pocket. I’m on my way.” “OK, hurry up.” Nina hang up the phone after talking to Jon, turned to Michael.
“Michael, Jon’s coming too.”
Michael didn’t say anything.
“Michael?”
Still nothing.
“Michael??”
She suddenly turned her head; saw Michael’s eyes are burning in color of blue. Michael already ran out of mind.
“Michael! Wake up!!” She slapped on his face, fortunately she didn’t slap that hard, and fortunately, Michael suddenly woke up. “What the hell?” He said when he found he was driving in the car by the point that he just woke up, and tried to control the speed that was already super fast on the Hwy.
Fortunately, the car didn’t hit anyone, and fortunately Michael got the speed down after a 3-minute breakdown. He got stuck in his brain. Every step that you take could be your biggest mistake.
But unfortunately, Mint’s dying.
