The Zion Encampment

This summer i am going to the Zion Encampment with some of my friends. Camp Zion is a boyscout camp that we go to every 4 years. I am really excited about this year because they are releasing 4 merit badges that have been retired for over 50 years. This is a once in a lifetime chance to get these merit badges.

At camp Zion there are two awards that you can get, the Ironman award and the Man of Valor. our goal is to get them both. If everyone in my troop gets this award then our leaders get an award too. The award is a very nice belt with the camp symbol on it or a very nice money clip with the camp symbol on it.

Our leaders told us that this will be an experience that we will never forget. i cant wait to go to camp Zion i know that it will be a blast

honors

at the beginning of the school year i was in all honors. because of my problem with homework i had a f by the end of the first quarter in English. my English teacher told me at the end of the first quarter that i would not be in honors English when i got back to school. After a while i got used to my class and had a good time in there.
About a week ago i found out that the honors English test was coming up so i got a form filled out everything. unfortunately i forgot to have my parents sign it saying that they will allow me to take the test until the due date, today. by the time i realized this i was already at school. as usual i stayed after school with some of my friends when it hit me. my parents would have to pick me up, when they do i could have them sign it and go turn it in. when my homework was done i called my dad and had him pick me up. when he got here he signed it and i turned it in. Now all i have to do is hope for the best and wait for the test tommorow.

i'll save the money for therapy

last night my orchestra had a concert at Campoverde high school. we all had a lot of fun and the concert was amazing. when it was our turn to play we got up on stage and played conquistador, The Gypsy Rover, and Saturday at the Symphony. when we finished we thought nobody could be better than us (thought of course our string teachers spies were everywhere). but when we heard the high school orchestra play two thoughts went u in my head 1 wow they are amazing. and 2 i wonder what kind of beans they put in their burritos (inside joke ) :). soon after i heard the i-cant-remember-the-name-so-I'll-just-call-it-the-rock orchestra. they were amazing i mean they had drums,electric guitars, keyboards, electric violas, and electric violins.after the concert was over i went running ( i really mean walking her spies were still everywhere) to my parents and asked them if i could have an electric viola and join them when i get into highschool. my parents said two things 1 the rock orchestra sounded awful, and 2 electirc violas cost a lot of money plus you can hardly hear them. well now all of my hopes and dreams are crushed :(.

slacker

ok so i havent posted in a while ( about a year ) but hey at least hardley anybody will see this so i guess its ok to confess then. the trurh is that my mom is turnng all of the blogs into a book one for each year and frankley form looking at mine then my mom's mine is tiny. so i have had this little voice nagging at the back of my head and i decided to make a post. i did it purley out of boredom so dont you dare think that i actually enjoy doing this. lets face it you dont want me as an enemy espically when i am on sugar ( just ask dayton he knows and is still recovering from the trauma).so there ive said it but dont be expecting more than 1 a week understand. ok then have a good day nicholas berrett signing off.

wow

If you read my mom's blog then you proably know the story about someone who refused to have one of my moms cookies and he would rather have store bought cookies, Well today the same person told me that he would not have one of my moms caramels and he would just give it to his mom. I am very suprised.

My first cake

Last Thursday when i came home from school i told my family ( very nicely ) to please get out of the kitchen and stay out until dinner was done. when they were all gone i set work to making the Dinner. the dinner included potatoes, stuffing, and my little suprise, cake. Around 7:00 I told the whole family (except for my dad) To come downstairs and eat dinner. Later once everyone was done with dinner i went over to the stove and brought over a pan that was covered up then i told everyone to close their eyes and then i un covered the pan and sayed open! My whole family loved it but my mom thought that the melted frosted frosting was funny. But over all it was great.

Who Sees Who

I wrote this poem a year ago, when i wrote it in language. i just found it under my bed and i thought that i would share it.
