Hi guys. This is Shlomo. My last blog was not working so well so I have switched to this new blog. Sorry about the inconvenience. I will re-post all of my things back on here, so don't worry. I have been absent for quite some time on this blog. That is because of my half-term holidays. "What did I do?" you guys would be asking. Well, you won't be happy, but I spent three quarters of my holidays at my house doing pretty much nothing. I was just reading books and building things with Jenga blocks. The other quarter was spent at my neighbourhood club play place. It is really fun there, when you can play dodgeball, read, and play many different board games. You can also read many different books there. All of the books there are Japanese, but very funny, and interesting. There is also Harry Potter

 there, and many other Japanese books. There is Othello (Reversi), Pokemon games, Doraemon games, and many other board games. I usually go there when my parents are busy at work so I have nothing to do, or I would be doing Japanese homework while I have time, or even looking and taking a tour of our new house. Sometimes I would be making some stupid trailers or other stupid things like that. I took many pictures of my new house, and did many things my self before my family. One thing that I did before my family was go to the bathroom. A bit of a disgusting fact, but true. Ridiculously true. I was the first person to go into my room. It was really fun there, with leaves all over the walls, with a window that I could open and close just with a string. It was awesome, doing the fun stuff, climbing stairs, opening floppy doors, finding chipped paint on the floor, and noticing many other mistakes at my new house. I also had a playdate with an old childhood friend, and stayed at their house in Setagaya for about 12 hours. I got home to my house at about 1:49 in the morning! It was unbelievably late for me that I was surprised that I didn't pass out in the car, or collapse on the front door. I had my eyes drooping very low, and only spoke very quiet because I didn't have much energy left to even stand upright! I was very tired that day. I had gone to COSTCO Wholesale, and gone shopping there for a very long time. There was also preparations for my dad's surprise birthday, and many other things such as getting to my ballet class on time or getting to my ballet class on time. At my ballet class I did many different things. Stretches, tendu, releve, and many other ballet moves. Oh, by the way, it is my dad's birthday tomorrow. (November 5th). I can't wait to have fun on his birthday! Bye guys! See ya! :) :) :)

THE CHALLENGER

Hey, what's going on guys? It's SHLOMOMAN here today, and I'm gonna be writing. And Writing.

AND WRITING. No. I don't want to bore you guys to death. I am going to make some challenges. And when I say challenges, I mean CHALLENGES. Not like those little 'try to jump over a 1.5 foot tall wall' challenges, I mean try and read a BIG book in a small amount of time. YOU have until 10/30/2016 5:00pm to finish this challenge. You will have to read any thick book, which has A LOT OF WORDS in it. Harry Potter Y5 or Y7. Those are quite thick and challenging books. YOU are the ones to read them. Not anybody else, but only you. If you are slow, you have until October 30th 2016 to finish reading the book. If you are quick, you have until October 25th 2016. Better get reading! You have a lot of work to do!

Zooming Through Pages

You zoom through the pages,

Reading every word.

Never skipping sentences,

Always reading a lot.

Reading is relaxing,

The smooth feel of paper,

The sound of paper against paper as you slowly turn the page,

The excitement you feel,

You can feel yourself getting tense,

Many things can happen, no matter what you do,

Reading a book

Always relaxes you
