Book Report - The Skin I'm In

  The Skin I’m In A few weeks ago I read a book called ‘The Skin I’m In’. It is a novel written by Sharon.G.Flake, who is a mother and a writer.  The novel is about a black girl called Maleeka. By looking at the cover, you wouldn’t understand that she was a confident girl with a strong attitude. Instead, you would think that she was a shy and timid girl that was bullied constantly. At least that’s what I thought. Maleeka is a strong-willed girl that is facing racism and terrible treatment by the boys and girls at her school and everywhere around her. She takes clothes from this bully called Charlese and her mother sews all her clothes because her father has died. Her mom’s hand-made clothes are not usually equal or well made so that’s why she takes clothes from Charlese. Charlese is very rude and at the end of the book she finds out that she is flunking the 7th Grade so she decides to take revenge on Ms. Saunders, her English teacher.  So Charlese, Maleeka and two twins, ...

My Cubing Journey - Square by Square

  My Cubing Journey - Square by Square I personally enjoyed solving the Rubik's cube and am challenging myself to get better. Until now my high score is 58 seconds but I will work towards that time and hopefully eventually become a great cuber. If you're in a hurry or want to read how to do the cube, here are the steps: 1. Form the daisy using the white edges. 2. Make the white cross. 3. Position the edges. 4. Make the second layer. 5. Make the yellow cross. 6. Solve the yellow side. 7. Position the last few corners. 8. Position the last few edges. 9. Grin funnily at the cube. That last step is totally optional (but I bet you'll do it either way) If you're confused about what edges or corners are, here's the theory: Centrepieces - Well it's basically in the name. They're centrepieces. Edges - The pieces with only 2 stickers. Corner pieces - The pieces with only 3 stickers. The algorithms/things you will need to do during the steps are a. FURU'R'F...

The Magical Fishy

I ran from the couch, through the hall, around the bedroom, up the stairs and into my room. My gran-gran was visiting and just chased me off when I was about to do something very important. Something more important than gaming. Something more important than TV-time. So important, that it was even more important than watching a late-night movie! I was getting the popcorn out of the microwave without anyone noticing.  Sadly, operation pop didn’t work and Sergeant Gran caught me and chased me off with the legendary spatula of the land of Kitchenonia. Yeah, I know. All that sounds extremely cheesy but at least I have a good imagination. I heard gran-gran pouring the popcorn out of the bag in the microwave into a bowl. Then she called out my name as she poured a bit of melted butter onto it. I smelt it and my legs practically took control of my body and before I knew it, I was sitting on our leopard-print sofa watching a movie with my hand stuck in the empty bowl. After we watched the m...
