Hey guys! I got this poem/verse type thing from a book series called The Terrible Two... It's an awesome series and I really like it. Here it is: On my honor I will do my best To be good at being bad; To disrupt, but not destroy; To embarrass the dour and amuse the sad; To devote my mind to japes, capers, shenanigans, and monkey business too; To prove the world looks better turned upside down; For I am a prankster; And so are you. (I improvised it a bit.) As you can tell it's about these two pranksters that to to a school called Yawnee Valley Science and Letters Academy. They dream up these extremely funny pranks, and then they pull them off on their principal. Five star book! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Goals are keeping things in habit with my habit tracker in my planner for 2019! Also getting more organized, and memorizing the periodic table completely, oh, and doing my best at DOGO!!!!

1: Made a ball for a ball drop out of a bike helmet, watched fireworks and movies for a LONG time, ate snacks, and stayed up as long as I could with my family! 2: We don't really have any that are continuous, but it's probably watching the fireworks on TV. 3: Eat less junk food! Respect my siblings! Read more books! Get good at Show Choir and make the soccer team! Go to EFY (which probably won't happen because it's 500 dollars to go...) Happy new year! Thanks for the questions!
