Today was another boring day at school. We had a field trip, but it was pretty boring. All we did was go to mars, nothing exciting since it is my 7th time there and I sometimes come here for vacation. When we got back on earth ,I started walking home and I saw Timothy. I waved to say hello but he didn’t respond and he clearly saw me. So I got a little worried since the last time he acted like this someone dear to him died. After he told me he cried for the whole day. I didn’t want that to be the case so I hologrammed him after I finished my homework. He didn’t answer after like five tries so I gave up and went to watch T.V. and I got really worried. I ended up calling my older sister, Samantha, to ask where she is and it turned out she was on Pluto right now on a field trip. Mom and dad were working at this lousy job of supreme ruler of Mercury. Since everyone was on another planet doing something I went to the balcony and started to look at the stars.

Today was so exciting! We all went to the intergalactic carnival to celebrate this ancient holiday called “Halloween”. I’m studying it in school. So far I learned that it’s an ancient holiday people celebrated thousands of years ago by dressing up and going to people’s houses while collecting candy. I was so confused. Why would you go to a stranger’s house and ask for a sweet treat in a costume. You could have gotten kidnapped! Anyways, the carnival was fun. First, we went on the magnetic levitating roller coasters, pretty ordinary but fun. Especially when it fakes you out by making you think you are going off a cliff but then you go backwards into space and back down. After a few other roller coasters we went to the carnival games. I won the “Galactic Gap” game. It’s a game where you are in a zero gravity chamber and you have to jump from one platform to another. Everything is patched so when you step on it with the specialized shoes hey give you, you stick.
