Snapshot: Going to Jakarta

During my Christmas Break, I went to my home city in Bandung. I spent most of my time there stying home. I spent the rest of my time there shopping. I love spending my time at home because my grandma and my favorite uncle live there. A few days before the holiday ended, my family decided that we go to Ancol in Jakarta since my little sister has never been there. We went to SeaWorld, went to ride on the Cable Car and last, but not least, we went to Dufan.

Dufan is a Theme Park, I haven't gone there since I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. me and my brother chose to ride on all exreme rides. So we went on the lines of all of them, some of them took quite long and some didn't take very much time. This piece of writing is going to be about The Roller Coaster. The line to go on was so freakihly long, it felt like 2 hours though i only took about 1.5 hrs. On the line I was so freaked out and needed to go to the bathroom so bad, but I knew when you were so scared, you just want to go to the bathroom, so I didn't go. I was so scared, I was almost shaking. In the line, I thought "Oh s***!!!! I just hope I don't vomit or wet myself during the ride" I was so scared when we had to go on, I was so nervous, I didn't take the backseat like I usually do. When the ride started, I was hoping that the ride wasn't too scary. When the ride went uphill, and it was so freaking high. Then the ride went straight then downhill, whick totally made me scream, and then on a loop, which wasn't as scary. Then the ride slanted to the right, then downhill, uphill, then downhill again really quickly, then it wen straight so quickly ans then its done. We rode on a few other rides, then when it was closed, my mom and I wanted to do to Mangga Dua and shop.

After we arrived to Mangga Dua, we bought a few DVDs, then went to a sale and looked at Jackets, but didn't buy anything. We were hungry, so we went and bought Bakso [meatballs]. After that, we went home, and the ride home was long. I was singing along to the songs playing in my iPod, and then got tired and chose to sleep. As I remember, we went home at 8 pm and arrived home at 2 am.

blog reflection

A skill that I learnt this year was playing the flute. Last year, in 5th grade, I chose to not join band, because I wanted experience for both band and music. So this year, I chose to be in beggining band. I chose to play the flute because it sound nice, though it is pretty hard to blow.

The way I handled challanges was to keep doing it and try again if I got a bad grade. A real challange for me this year was writing. Since last year, I have never been good at writing, I usually get B's or C's in writing, so I keep trying very hard, though it does not make very much difference.

One skill that I want to learn is to calculate maths faster in my head. This will help me calculate things faster and that will help me keep track of time all the time.

I contributed positively towards the 6th grade community by showing respect, and sometimes kindness. I show respect by respecting all my teachers and other students. I put in sometimes kindness because I am not always very nice to the boys, because they insult me and wouldn't stop when I ask them to, so I get kinda mean.

One New Year resolution I have is to help out more at home and one goal at school is to focus while doing writings, because when I do writings in class on a computer, I fool around and end up doing very little work.
