          Charter schools make the world a worse place.
          Don't believe me? Here are my arguments:
          All through elementary years and middle school years at the charter school, you make friends. Friends who live in different cities than you. The friendships grow, you learn to love each person who is in your grade, you know everyone in the tiny school. You become a family.
          But.
          There is a problem. After middle school is over, or after everyone in your grade decides they want to transfer schools, no one is left. And everyone goes to their public schools, or a new charter school. And every single one of your friends who lives in a different city is lost.

          I can tell you this based on my personal experience. The last day of school is tomorrow. It's happening.

          I love you all.

Tenth Post!

Yay, number ten.

Have you noticed I've done mostly negative posts? Well that's not good. Let's try the opposite today, shall we?

I love nature. I really do. I love being alone. Today I went somewhere with a person, somewhere hidden. It was a river and it was surrounded by many trees. It was dead silent, like the whole world was holding its breath. Picture it. Three or four trees leaned into the river as if they wanted to tell it a secret they held deep within themselves. At the base of the river was a big pile of sticks, like beavers had been there. It was completely silent. Then a gust of wind rattled the leaves, and a group of birds exploded out of the trees. All you could hear was the river. Rush, rush, rush. Hush, hush, hush.

That's what I love about it. You can paint a picture in your mind. I was there. It was so peaceful. Serene. Beautiful. It makes you think. I mean, really think those deep thoughts that cower in the back of your mind. Afraid to come to the front and show themselves.

That is all today. Thank you! :)

Numero 9....

Well, I just wanted to say something about Summer. This might make you want Summer more, but I promise you, that is not my intention.

Every year, during the school year, I am yearning for Summer most of the year. The days go so SLOWLY and Summer seems so far away. Then the last 2 weeks of school (RIGHT NOW! :) fly past! Right as soon as I reach Summer, I am so excited for the great stuff that I have planned., and I have a FANTASTIC time.

THEN, about one month after Summer has started, I want SCHOOL AGAIN!!!!  Crazy, I know. Oh well, that is just me.

Eighth Post? I think?

Yes, here it is. Eighth post.

And it's a crazy one. If you go to my blog: http://allabouteryn.blogspot.com You'll get more information about what is bugging me.

May. The month. I hate it with a burning, fiery passion that engulfs my soul and chokes my mind. 

Intense.

Anyway, I just hate how all the teachers, like, secretly plot to pile EVERYTHING THEY POSSIBLY CAN onto us and then we're stressed and we die a little inside.

But I shall find a bright side to this. Give me a minute.

...

Aha. I have come up with a somewhat logical bright side. :)

After all that slavery...I mean school work... we have something to look forward to. Something that makes it all worth it. Something called

SUMMER BREAK.

I am excited. I have literally never been more excited for it ever ever before. I think it's because I'm starting a new adventure next school year.

But to all you teachers out there: cut us some slack. Lay off the paperwork, guys, come on!

Love, Eryn

Books

          Do you know what I hate? When books just end with a cliffhanger.
          But you know what I love? When books just end with a cliffhanger.
          It frustrates me out of my mind at first, but then, as I sit and think, I am grateful for the book. It sometimes makes it better, and more interesting. Of course, I'm still easing out of the shocked zone of the book I just finished. I have to relax and move on. But I can't. It ended with a cliffhanger.
