Hey everyone,
I just want to say one thing before I get started. I love my mom. No matter how mad I get at her or how mad she gets at me, I still love her so much. A lot of people don’t stay in touch with there mom’s after they move out. I know for a fact though, that I am not going to be one of those people. You see, me and my mom have a special relationship. She’ll always be my mom and I’ll always be her son, but our relationship go’s beyond that. We’re not just family, we’re friends. I’m proud to say it, and it’s something all people should strive for, because a parent can be your very best friend. I love my mom because I know she’ll always be there for me, and I’ll be there for her. I bet my mom feels very happy right now, reading this, because she has a very big, very luxurious suite in my heart.
I love you mom.

Hey everyone,
In math, we’ve been doing fractals! My teacher found an awesome site that lets you zoom in on fractals. Another site I’ve found is Neave. It has a fractal zoomer.
Now you may be asking, what is a fractal?
“Fractals are typically self-similar patterns, where self-similar means they are “the same from near as from far” -quote from Wikipedia.
In simpler terms, a “self similar” means the pattern is always repeating, the farther you zoom in. For example, a fern. A single leaf of a fern, resembles the fern itself. A single branch off the leaf of the fern resembles the fern itself. It’s a repeating pattern.
Here’s one I found:
 "Icy Fractality"

It’s the first week of the Student Blogging Challenge. We have been given a task to tour some blogs and list the ones we like. In a blog, I like the quality of writing the author does, with the authors own opinion. Here is a list of my favourite blogs.
- Dakota’s Blog
- I like Dakota’s Blog because of his creative ideas and his amazing writing.
- Max’s Blog
- I like Max’s blog because of the reviews he does. He has very creative opinions.
- Perfect Nyan Cats
- I like this blog, because it’s about NYAN CATS! It’s a new blog, so there’s not much else.
Those are my favourite blogs!

Similiar to many people, I have a love and fascination with sugary, tasty, sweet desserts. I have decided to write a post about my favourites!
- Pumpkin Pie – Yummy!
- Creme Brule – Tasty goodness, made with a blowtorch
- Vanilla Ice Cream – Perfect, but not too flavoured.
- Apple Pie – Especially with ice cream.
- Lemon Maringue Pie
That rounds it up! Thanks for reading!

Last week we had the Young Entepreneur Fair (YEF). We had to make a plan, produce a product, sell it, and gain a profit. It is powered by the Comox Community Credit Union, or CCCU. As you know, I was selling Flower Pencils. They had orange, yellow, purple, and white flowers, and some had white feathers. I almost sold out and I had lots of fun.
Before we got to make and sell, we had to do other stuff. We had to make a prototype, get materials, configure our money plan, market research, costs, and marketing plan. It was a lot of work.
This year, I advertised in a few ways. I made a small poster, a big poster, a digital poster, a survey and a blog post. Plus, my friend Jack let me wear his Sombrero!
I know that the skills I learnt in this project were life skills that I will use until the day I die, so I am glad I’m getting prepared. I can’t picture myself as an adult entepreneur, but who knows, maybe I ‘ll give a try!

Hello!
Project Zomboid is an awesome new game. It is very fun. It is a survival based zombie RPG.
Rule one: You will die. Eventually. I know, it’s depressing.
The point of the game is to survive as long as you can until you you befall you inevitable demise. You have to stay healthy and happy, eat, sleep, and fend of the unrelenting hordes as they dream of of chewing you up. It can get boring sometimes, just getting holed up in the safe house.
It is still in Pre-Alpha/Alpha (ver. 0.1.5d) and is for sale on Desura and Google Checkout for $7.99 CA.
