Emma’s Blogzzzz :O

This week I didn’t accomplish a lot, but I did accomplish some stuff. I figured out some options for songs to play on the three sting guitar. I found two songs that I like Blackbird by The Beatles and Hey Jude by The Beatles, but I tried playing those songs and it doesn’t sound right so I might not do those songs and I will probably have to find another song to do. Some struggles I had was that I couldn’t find a good song that I really wanted to play and I also couldn’t find a song that sounded right on the three string guitar. I had to adjust to a lot of different songs to see which one I like and which one sounded decent on the three string. Next time I’m going to continue to look for songs and if I find a song I like I will practice playing that.

My favorite room in my house is my dad’s man cave. This is my favorite room because it has two arcade machines and a pinball machine, so I always have something fun to do. Another reason I like this room is because it has a tv with a projector screen, so its makes the tv bigger. I also like this room because the couch is very comfy to sit on when my family and I watch movies. There is also a mini bar because my dad really wanted one when we moved in, so he built a mini bar himself. My last reason I like this room is because my dad has two tanks of fish, one big tank for bigger fish and a smaller tank for smaller fish. Also if any fish have baby’s then my dad has a little tank in a cabinet under the big tank, so none of the baby fish can get hurt by the other fish that’s not their parents. Thank you for reading my blog!

This week was amazing and I was able to accomplish getting used to playing my song. I also was able to play the song all the way through on the three string guitar. I didn’t have many struggles but I did have one struggle the was huge because there is one chord in the notes that I can not play because I could not find the chord on google. When I finished learning the song I adjusted and stopped practicing the song and switched over to looking for another song to play, so I don’t get bored with playing the same song over and over again. I didn’t find a song I wanted to play but that’s ok because I have plenty of time to learn a new song, so it’s no problem if I have to use some of my time next time to find a song. Next time I will look for some songs I like so I can look for the notes for those songs and see what song I like playing the most.

During spring break I had lots of fun in Cabo. The first night I was in Cabo we went to an amazing restaurant, where I got chicken tacos! The next morning we got ready to go do an activity with dolphins! When we got there we went up to the pool where the dolphins were. Then we did two activities, the first activity was dancing with the dolphins and the dolphin kisses you on the cheek, then the second activity was where the dolphins lays upside down and we grab their two fins and they swim use around in a circle really fast. Then after the dolphins we walked around the little town by the shops and restaurants. We went and grabbed dinner and went to the hotel. The next day we got ready to go grab lunch and go snorkeling. I had tacos and they were so tasty. Once we got to the boat we got on with the group and they took us to the middle of the ocean. We went into the water and swam around a little and then they also had some activity you could do in the water. I used this water jet that’s where you hold this jet and you can swim around faster then. I also used a paddle board which was really fun. The last day we went to this place where we got to ride camels and then go ride e-bikes on the sand. The next day before we left to go back home we hung out by the hotels pool. Cabo was so much fun and I think I its a great place to go to for spring break!

For my 20% project I decided to learn the tree string guitar. My goal this week was to find a song I wanted to play and to work on learning the different chords. I didn’t really have any struggles but my fingers kind of started to hurt from playing the chords and I didn’t know how to strum correctly which made it a little difficult to be confident when I played the song. First I wanted to play Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen but then I decided to switch over to Happier Than Ever by Billie Eillish because I couldn’t find the chords for the other song. Next time I’m going to work on getting better, such as strumming better and working on getting used to putting my fingers in the right places to play the chords. Also next time I’m going to make sure I don’t have any nails while I play because when I have nails it makes it harder to play.

If I were able to invite three people to my party I would invite my friends Charlie, Hailey, and Zoey. I would invite Charlie because she is my best friend and she is funny, kind, and relatable. I also can always count on her for anything. I would invite Hailey because she can always make someone smile and laugh. She also can make the night be filled with laughter and joy. Lastly I would invite Zoey because she is kind and always thinks about others. She is also always there for others when they need someone. Thank you for reading my blog!

In March, I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid No Brainer by Jeff Kinney it is a book about a middle schooler named Greg Heffley and how he has to deal with a bunch of crazy things that’s happening to him. What I loved about this book is that it shows me how hard other people’s lives can be and how I’m lucky to be me. My favorite character from the book was Greg’s mom because she is funny and is very independent. Greg’s mom is childish and I know this because on page 146 it says “I don’t think Mom or Mrs.O’Malley actually cared about the principal for the day thing anymore. They both just wanted to make sure the OTHER person didn’t win it.” This proves she is childish because most adults would talk out their problem with each other but instead Greg’s mom tried to take revenge on Mrs.O’Malley. My favorite quote from the book is “It’s called “social media”! And if you want to “like” something you just press this little heart!”(pg.2) This is my favorite quote because it’s funny how he has to explain it to his grandparents and show them how to use the phone.

If I could have any job in the entire world, I would be an interior designer. I would be an interior designer because I’ve always wanted to be an interior designer and I love designing rooms because it’s fun. I like to design stuff and I love to redo my room to make it more me. I’m going to paint two of my walls in my room, and I’m so excited cause I’ve wanted to paint my walls for a long time to make my room represent me more. I love painting and decorating, so doing that as my job would make me so happy. I also could make other peoples dream rooms come true which would be so fun cause then you can see their reactions and see how it makes them happy. I would love to be an interior designer. Thank you for reading my blog!

In February I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days by Jeff Kinney. This book is about a kid named Greg Heffley and him getting through the summer. What I loved about this book is that it’s funny and makes me want to read more and more. My favorite character is Greg’s brother, Rodrick, because he is funny. Rodrick is also irresponsible. I know this because in the book it says “…I’m pretty sure Rodrick hadn’t fed his fish or cleaned the bowl once. I think Rodrick’s fish was living off of the algae growing on the glass.” This shows he is irresponsible because if he was responsible the bowl would be clean and Rodrick would feed the fish everyday. My favorite quote is “Rodrick liked the animal name idea, and he said we should call the dog turtle ‘turd for short’.” This my favorite quote from the book because it’s funny how Rodrick said they should call it turd for short.

If I was invisible for 24 hours I would probably just prank my family for the whole day. I would prank my family because it would be so funny and so much fun to watch them get scared. My first victim would be my brother because it’s pretty hard to scare him. I would take objects around his room and start moving them in the air, so he would think there is a ghost in his room. Then I would go and prank my dad and make creeping noises around the house so he would wonder what’s going on and then he would walk to the sound and I would play I really scary loud sound so he would get terrified. Then I would go opening and closing drawers and cabinets in the kitchen so my mom would see it and would get scared. Then my whole family would be scared and then the next day they will tell me the house is haunted and then I’ll tell them it was all me. Thank you for reading my blog!
