Just checkin in. My new school year has begun, and I'm kind of adjusting from the wild summer to this strict new year of school. I'm still happy I'm in Fifth Grade, though. Also, besides that, Tom downloaded Adobe Flash CS3. Now, I'm able to make cool animations! It's really fun, and cooler than it sounds. Now, I'm at Grandma Marty's house, testing this new thingy called ScribeFire on FireFox, which is how I'm sending this post! I push a button on the status bar, this page comes up, I write my title, I write my post, and just click "Publish!"

Hi. Right now I'm at Schlotsky's Pizza (carvel), about to eat some pizza. Yes, I'm using their computer. The survey did well. Also, if you're not able to comment, either use the new survey to fill in the blank next to what you would say, or e-mail me at forresthopkins@cox.net. Also, soon I'm going to post a link to one of my stories. Bye! Gotta get some pizza!

Yesterday, I was baptized! I still feel sooooo good about it. Before I was baptized, we went to Wal*Mart. When we got there, I started feeling nauseous. I was able to derive much comfort from the event that was soon taking place. When we reached the church, it actually started feeling a bit better. When I came in contact with water (in the baptism tub), I started feeling a wee bit worse again, but I completely ignored it far the same reason as at WAL*MART. When the preacher was praying for me, I realized that I was feeling better again. When he baptized me, I felt completely relieved of almost everything= some guilt, some mental heartache, some physical stomachache, etc. Basically, it was pretty cool, wait, no, COMPLETELY AWESOME!!!!!!!

Festival of Learning

Today, we had the festival of learning at our school. We did our AZ report presentations (I just might post a picture or video soon), we watched dance troupe do their thing with 3 songs (we missed the 1st one), we drew in our spare time, we played a song on the violin for our recital (I will post a picture or video soon), we did a play (I was a cow, a grandma, and a wolf) (I will post a picture or video soon), we did the science fair (I did one about equilibrium) (I will post a picture or video soon), and we had a parent-child lunch. Today was very fun.

My name is Forrest Hopkins. My hobbies are: writing, biking, writing, drawing, math, drawing, designing, writing, reading, writing, ping-pong, making new languages, drawing, driving golf carts at 40 miles per hour, writing, joking, writing, and drawing. I think I might be sick, because I threw up in the middle of the night all over the place last night. I am having a very good life, though. I am nine years old. My birthday is September 30. I do not calculate half-birthdays. A few days ago, I finished my Arizona report from school. I am in 4th grade, learning 5th grade. Right now I am reviewing percents, ratios, decimals, open and closed points, and, last and least, probability. We have a college textbook that we are reviewing, too. I am REALLY interested in Greek mythology, but I also like other kinds of myths, too. Right now I am making 2 comics, 2 fantasies, and 1 mythological book. My pen name is F.B.Hopkins. Someday, I will be a published author.
