Hunger Games

Hi! I just have one word- two words, actually, for you- HUNGER GAMES.

The book trilogy by Suzanne Collins is really cool. Also, the movie's at the cinemas, but I'm not allowed to watch it.

It's about North America in the future, a country called Panem, where there is a capitol which rules over 13 districts, but around 74 years earlier, the districts rebelled. The capitol won and demolished District Thirteen. (Or did they?) So that the districts never try again, every year one boy and one girl age 12-18 from each district have to enter the hunger games, but this isn't an ordinary game show- they fight to the DEATH.

There are only two rules- kill or be killed, and only one tribute can survive. Harsh rules. Anyway, there's this girl named Katniss, and her twelve year old sister Primrose gets called out to enter. Katniss volunteers, and a boy named Peeta is called out from her district. Turns out he has a crush on her. I won't spoil the ending for you, but you get the gist.

SEE YOU LATER...

My Short Term Goals Reflection

This is a reflection of my short term goals I set earlier this year. It shows what they are, what would help, and what could stop me.

Short Term Goals
I would like to finish the Tongariro Crossing. I could get fitter by running walking, climbing, etc. I get lazy, bored etc.
I would like to ride a bike by week 5. I need to find the time and get on one. There being no time, me lazy etc.
I would like to sell 3 boxes of chocolate. I could see which flavours sell fastest and sell those. Stupid people on diets, me not handling the money right, I get hungry!

NUMBER ONE: Yes! I did the Tongariro Crossing!
NUMBER TWO: No. It's sad and lame, I know, but I failed. I seriously failed that one. I definitely need to a) get a bike... and b) keep trying!
NUMBER THREE: No. I sold 1 and a half. DUH... Maybe I should have sold in other places besides my CHURCH.

1/3 so far- but what about my mid-term goals? You'll just have to wait until Term 3.

As for my new goals:

NUMBER ONE: Learn to cook! This was in my mid-term goals, so probably I should have a slight advantage...

NUMBER TWO: Number two of my short-term goals. It "seriously failed". So I'll do that.

NUMBER THREE: They may be in my long-term goals, but I'll use them. Win Mathsmatters and get in the final of the Spelling Bee. If not win. >:)
