| This year we're supposed to do a bunch of crappy book reports, which is horrible. I AM IN 8TH GRADE. GIVE ME ESSAYS, NOT BOOK REPORTS. OR JUST MAKE SURE I READ LIKE 10 BOOKS EVERY TRIMESTER. |

"what book is it"
I'm supposed to pick two books -- one fiction, one non-fiction, or two non-fiction -- that are...uh...responding to one-another, if that makes sense?
I'm thinking about book one in the Lost Years of Merlin by T.A. Barron for the fiction and some history book about the real man named Merlin for the non-fiction, and told my teacher this. She said I should be stepping outside of my comfort zone and reading history books. UH, HELLO, MERLIN IN A NON-FICTION BOOK? THAT'S PRETTY HISTORICAL CONSIDERING MERLIN WAS AN ACTUAL PERSON IN HISTORY!!!!
Anywaaaaayyyyyyssss, yah, I hate generic war stuff like WWII, WWI, etc. because it bores me half-to-death, and that's kinda why I hate LA class this year. Everything is history this, history that...so annoying...
I should stop rambling, though. Sorry, haha. |

I don't hate non-fiction, just history. History sucks...
...like, I'd be totally fine with reading books about chaos theory, or paleontology, or biology, even, but history? No. No history. History is the WORST.... |

">Trimester What's that?"
A trimester? Y'know how schools have semesters? My school has 3 of those thingies, and we call them trimesters as a result. |

Good history: Rome Paleontology history (if that counts) Medieval stuff Ancient civilizations stuff
Bad history: Wars with super-powerful weapons history (bombs, guns, etc.) Modernish history (IE: American history)
Does that make sense? |

Eh. I actually am pretty interested in medieval times, though.
...And I don't see why I need to build a history-base of information.... |

BAHAHAHAHA, THIS ISN'T A LOT, IT'S JUST ANNOYING
"A lot" is the 200 math problems I do every Sunday, and the 200 other math problems I correct every Sunday. |

| Each individual gets a certain assignment. Book reports are probably the most difficult considering how many people actually finished the book reports. I could barely think of a book to do for a report. |

In addition, we did book reports last year. I'm so grateful we moved on from that considering how hard they were to make. For my Diary Of a Wimpy Kid report, it wasn't that hard to make it. |

Another addition, just make a book report about diary of a wimpy kid. One time last year, my friend and I had the exact same book report. |
