Day 11-June 20

We had to wake up early today because my mom was taking us to work. We were helping them move. It was a long hot day but I got to hangout with dogs for most of it. 🐶 For lunch we went to Bagel Land and then we had donuts and Pips Original!! After we had finished with helping and gone home, I played on my giutar for a super long time. It was really fun. We had fish tacos for dinner, and once we had finished my brother and I made music on Garage band.

Day 10-June 19

My brother and I hungout at the house today and I baked chocolate chip cookies! They were good but they were super crumbly and kind of dry. Then, later in the day, our friends took us to see Oceans 8. If you’ve ever seen Oceans 11, 12, or 13, Oceans 8 is basically the same, it just has women instead of all men, and the main character is the main character from the other movie’s sister. The Oceans movies are basically just about stealing things. And there is always a big twist at the end. It was funny and entertaining so I rate it 8/10.

This is the song I learned today.

Day 9-June 18

It was another sunny day. Like always I slept in late. And it was another lazy day. I did some backing, and later in the day, my mom drove us to School of Rock which is where I do my guitar lessons. I leanrend Where is My Mind by the Pixies. It’s a great song.

Day 8-June 17

This was our last day camping. We spent the morning packing out things. Then we drove to Astoria and had lunch. Then we drove all the way home, un packed our bags, watched a movie, then went to bed. It was a quick day.

Day 7-June 16

Today was super hot. Once we had packed up from the motel we drove to find a campsite. We drove to Cape Disappointment. We thought the name was funny. When we got there it was surprisingly amazing. After we had unpacked and set up our tents we drove to get some ice-cream and walk along the beach. That was super fun. Later, after we had had hotdogs for dinner, we walked down to a music concert in the campground. It was amazing. A guy played incredibly well on his piano. It was beautiful. Then we went back to a camp, and played “campfire games” which was strange. Then we had got into bed and rested.

Day 6-June 15

It was sunny today. My dad woke me up at around ten to help with picking because we were going camping. We spent most of the day hanging out and packing then we picked up my mom from work and headed off. It was a 3 1/2 hour drive! Once we got there, it was not what we had hoped for. They had falsely advertised so we didn’t stay there. We were all tired and warnout so we drove to a motel and stayed there for the night.

This is the song I made.

Day 5-June 14

It was another lazy day. I woke up late, once again. Later in the day my mom came home from her work trip! She had to take Enzo back to her boss though😓. My brother and I made songs on Garage Band which is an app on the computer where you can either record sounds or get them from this huge list and create songs. It’s super fun. You should check out my songs on SoundCloud. My name is PB&J. My brothers name is Computer Noises. His are super cool. Then near the end of the day we went to the orthodontist (the person who deals with braces and stuff). That was boring as usual. 😂. After that I went home, played guitar and watched Coco with my brother. Coco is an amazing movie that I’ve watched three times in the past week. 😁.

My achievement today was making a song.

Day 5-June 13

Today it was kind of sunny. I woke up late again. And hangout by myself. My mom went to Ohio early in the morning and my dad got back from New York at around noon. Before my mom left she dropped off her boss’s dog, Enzo, at our house because her boss was going on the trip as well and needed someone to take care of her dog. Enzo is the cutest dog! Then for the rest of the day I hungout, did some writing, and ate a cream cheese bagel.

My achievement today was getting to my eighth chapter of my story.

Day 4-June 12

Today was sunny again. My brother and I hangout for a while until our friends came over. We made a movie. It was a cringy movie about real life Fortnite. It was fun to make. Later we went to the Cat Cafe. We ate and drank whilest being able to play with the kittens. They were super cute. Then we dropped my brother off at his friends house and headed home. When we arrived at home I made myself some pasta then watched tv. It was a chill but fun day.

My achievement today was making a movie.

Here is the song that I learned on my guitar today. It’s a great song.

Day 3-June 11

Today was a fun day. I woke up super late and then I played video games with my brother. For breakfast I made a fruit smoothie. My brother and I also made a Lego city. Later I rode the bus down town to meet my mom. She bought me a burger from Little Big Burger, which is one of my favorite dinner places, then she drove me School Of Rock where I have my guitar lessons. It was a very sunny day.

Today’s achievement was learning Come As You Are by Nirvana on the guitar. By the way, Nirvana is one of my favorite bands, if you haven’t listened to it, you definitely should.

Day 2-June 10

Today I got picked up from my friends house then I went to see Han Solo, the new movie. I was surprised. It was better than I had anticipated. My dad cried and laughed, he had a whirlwind of emotions. It was a pretty cool movie, and I would see it again. I rate it 8/10 because it was pretty funny and a well made movie but it just doesn’t have the Starwars ‘umph’ that keeps you on the edge of you seat and leaves you wanting more.

My achievement today was finally seeing Solo for the first time.

Day 1-June 9

Finally! It is the first day of summer! Today I was mostly doing chores, but I got to stay over at my friend’s house! It is pretty cold and rainy today but it should get warmer. 

Each day I am going to try and achieve something.

Today my achievement was winning three games of foosball. It was pretty fun.
