A Week to Remember: Week 10

This week has been "chill". Haha, chill. You get it. Because it was cold. If you're in Chicago you'll understand. So the tournament ended last Saturday and we did very well. We finished 13th place out of 144 teams. I was able to win five out of six my games. It was very exciting but next year we will be taking home the first place championship.Also I started to read a book for book club named "Graceling". Thus far it is a good book. It's fairly interesting. You should read it. It is In the genre of sci-fi. That will be all for today. This is Kiana signing out. Peace.
Ps. Happy Black History Month. I will like to thank my ancestors for all they have done to get us this far. And I will like to praise those who have risen above odds and have fought for what is right. Thank you to the Martin Luther Kings, Maya Angelous, Malcolm Xs, Fred Hamptons, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubmans , and more. Power to the People.

A Week to Remember: Week 9

Hello world. I know it's early for the end of the week review, but I have a tournament and I don't want to forget to do it. So this week we have state for chess. I'm excited. We leave for Peoria tomorrow. At work I finished my necklace. It's orange and blue. We had to make a double layered necklace. Mine has 3 wires and they are weaved together. It's beauuuutiful. You have to say it while adding emphasis on the "u". I think I did great for my first creation. I feel accomplish. At work we were asked the question "How often do you complain?". I try not to complain about materialistic items, since of course there are people less fortunate than me. When I complain it's usually out of laziness because things be "sooooo far". That'll conclude my review for the week this is Kiana signing out. Peace

Internet Ed

For my internet Ed adventure, Ed will become Aliyah. Aliyah is a female contestant on the show Survivor. They are at a point in the season where the tribes, Hunahpu and Coyopa, have just dissembled, leaving all the contestants at risk of elimination. Aliyah knows that if she does not win the next immunity challenge or find an idol she’ll be the next to go. Aliyah had lied about Tim wanting to get George out, which led to Tim elimination last tribal council. Now her head is on the chopping block.
“Well, that was an interesting council”, said Ed as Aliyah, she hide her excitement for the elimination of Tim. It was either him or her and with her great manipulation of the others it ended up being him.
“Yeah, didn't see that one coming”, mumbled Sabrina, aware of Aliyah’s part in Tim’s elimination. It was her plan to eliminate Aliyah, but since George changed targets the plan could not be carried out. “Guess you saved yourself this council…. But I don’t think you’ll be as lucky next tribal” warned Sabrina.
Sabrina and Aliyah rival begun near the beginning of the season. Both Sabrina and Aliyah were on the Coyopa tribe and they were doing well, the best of friends who just meet. But that all changed when at one challenge, Aliyah purposely did poorly in the challenge in an effort to make her team lose. She had heard through rumors that Sabrina was planning to get her out, so she wanted to act first. It had turned out that the rumor of Sabrina wanting to get Aliyah out was just that a rumor. And that’s how their rivalry begun.
Determined not to be eliminate Aliyah set out to look for an idol. Aliyah stumbled upon a tree that look suspicious.
“Hmm… Nice try producer, you should try a little harder at hiding these things”, Aliyah thought to herself.
Aliyah had begun to dig near the tree. She dug and dug and dug and dug. But found nothing. Ed couldn't help but laugh at this humorous and desperate woman. Half an hour passed with no sign of an immunity idol. Aliyah went back to camp. Ed knew Aliyah had no chance of remaining on the island without the idol, so he was ready to go. Ed reached into Aliyah’s pocket for her cell phone, but comes out empty handed. He would realize that Aliyah doesn't have a phone. “No one has a phone on this show”, Ed muttered to himself. Fear arose in Ed at this realization. As night approached, Ed fell into a deep slumber. The next day Aliyah still had no luck in finding an idol and Ed had no chance in finding a phone. Both were hopeless in their pursuit, until it was time for reward challenge. By some unexpected coincidence the reward for this challenge was a phone call to a love one. Ed could not believe his luck. Now all he had to do was win the challenge and the phone was all his.
“For this challenge you will all have to swim from this dock to the beach. When there, you will have to drag a bag of puzzle pieces up to a bench. From there you’ll solve a puzzle. The first to finish will win the reward”, said Jeff, the host of the show. “Get into your ready position and we will begin.”
“It so sad your time here has to come to an end, but you know the show’s backstabber never wins” hissed Sabrina at Aliyah. “And another thing, just try not to drown”.
Aliyah rolled her eyes and focused on the water. Aliyah knew she was a terrible swimmer and the others did to after she caused her tribe to lose when she tried to swim fast but failed miserably. Jeff shouted go and everyone was off. Aliyah took off swimming slowing but steadily. Ed was no help since he spent most of his time programming rather than swimming. Sabrina and the others arrived at the beach, but Aliyah still had about 6 feet to go. Aliyah finally arrived at the beach and dragged the puzzle pieces to the bench.  Even though Aliyah was about 3 minutes behind the others, none of the other contestants, with the exception of Sabrina, had made any progress on the puzzle. Sabrina was well on her way. She was half way through with the puzzle. Aliyah took out the puzzle and it made absolutely no sense to her. But Ed, he understood the puzzle. He had seen the same pattern when he was programming one day. Ed took control of Aliyah and solved the puzzle in a blink of an eye. The other contestants gaped in astonishment. Sabrina’s face was priceless.
“That was a piece of cake, where’s the entrĂ©e?”, Aliyah said with a smirk.
“You’re still going home”, threaten Sabrina.
Aliyah forgot that this was not an immunity challenge. She only won a phone call, not an idol.
“Congratulations Aliyah you've won a call home.” said Jeff.
“Yay” Aliyah said dryly, with sarcasm.
“Aliyah I’m going to make you an offer”, said Jeff. “You can either take the phone or make the phone call or you can get an immunity idol”.
Before Aliyah could answer Ed reached for the phone and entered in "control, shift, command, 42, meaning of life,  J,K,J,K, J,K,R, control, command, option escape, escape" and before entering in the last escape Ed said.

“I’m sorry, not sorry”, said Ed and he entered “escape” and left.

A Week to Remember: Week 7

It has been a good week this week. We had finals this week. And now they are over!!!! Celebration time. On the first day of finals I had Trigonometry, Driver's Education, and World Studies. Trigonometry was okay and was not that painful. Driver's Education was not hard actually. I believe I'm ready for the road. Now I just have to take range and traffic. World Studies was kind of difficult, but I refused to stress out over my exams. The next day I had  lunch, English, and Chemistry. That was a nice and calm day. On the last day I only had 2 classes: Choir and Spanish. I had my singing final on Friday and I was nervous. However my teacher said I did well and I passed. And that was my week for you. This is Kiana signing out. Peace
