Third Quarter

Last year, in eighth grade, third quarter did not go well for me.  My grades slipped very badly and my parents got mad, causing me to get mad.  In fourth quarter, I was tested and I now have medication to motivate me.  This has made a huge difference in my grades.  I refuse to have a third quarter like last year.  So far this quarter, I've done well except for english class.  I made a 95% on my last World Cultures test, I've done fairly well in Biology and Spanish, and I'm doing great in Geometry.  My weakness in English is poetry.  It does't make sense to me and I don't understand why we even do it. I really want to improve my English grade this quarter.  My goal is to earn all A's and B's this quarter. I would have reached that goal last semester but I got an 84% in English.  I am going to try my best this quarter so I can reach this goal.

Benelli M2

January 16, 2012 was a very great day because I got a new shotgun.  It is a Benelli M2. This is a very nice shotgun that will last me many years.  I had a Remington 11-87 for about four years and I shot it many times. It began to wear out and was doing weird things. My parents and I decided to trade my Remington for a nicer Benelli that would last me a very long time.  This is very exciting because I can shoot in sporting clays tournaments and not worry about my gun messing up. Also, this gun does not have to be cleaned nearly as often. I can't wait to shoot ducks with my new Benelli this weekend.
