     Spring Break is on Friday! I can't wait for this Spring Break it will be very fun! Maybe during the week I can go to the movies with Jorge and my other friends. Since Jorge couldn't come to last time we went to the movies. I would like to watch the call, but it is rated R, and since we're not even 12 we can't watch it.
     Other than that all I will be doing over the week is sleeping in and eating a lot. Also the thing that I hate doing the most s cleaning the whole house. I also hope that my parents take me somewhere fun.

     My favorite topic in the Middle Ages in when Black Death happened  I like this period of time because in my point of view when the Black Death occurred people worked with each other no matter what happened. It just seemed that everyone needed each other. I also liked how everyone was trying to help each other out by coming up with many treatments. 
     I also believed that at this time of the year when people didn't have any armies because of the Black Death this actually helped everyone so that their wouldn't be any wars.

     Have you guys ever heard about Black Death? Well, if you guys haven't already, Black Death was a very serious event when it came to Europe. It also took many serious affections at that time. Black Death had started back in the Middle Ages, that's when it mostly happened. Black Death was a plague from Eastern and Central Asia when Europe set off ships for trade. When they were on there way to the trading center rats jumped aboard with their infection. As a result this caused great history in Europe. 
     Europe was quite effected in this situation because many people were dieng because of this.

     The Pope has called me in. He wants me to become a knight. While my uncle, he has to go to some journey of his. I don't think I am ready. I know that my family has been a knight as well, but I believe that I won't be as good as they are. But, the Pope wants me to defend all of the Holy places. I don't get it why me? Maybe the Pope believes that since my family members in the past did a great job with protecting everything. Then they believe that I will have that same ability in me just like my other family members.
      I believe that I'm just going to have to risk it for my uncle. I can't let my uncle down since he is sick my uncle cannot fight and be a knight any longer. I guess I'm just going to have to do as they ask, and protect the Holy land. Wish me luck, so I can make a great person and a great knight out of myself and who knows maybe if I ha

     I am getting forced to do something I don't want to. I want to just runaway, and not ever come back. My father is making me marry some stranger that I don't even know and I'm only 13. What if it's some old guy and he takes advantage of me. I don't want to think about this. The thought just makes me throw up and it makes me sick.
     I have to marry some noble or something like that when he's probably in his 40's or something. I don't know maybe if it was someone that I knew and that was about my age I would marry him. But, I'm sure that all the nobles men are not 13 or any close to that age. Th bad part is, that I have to obey as my father wishes in everything that I do. I would also disappoint him if I don't get married, so I guess I'm just going to dig in deep and hopefully the man I marry will treat me right like every girl or women should be treated.

     I am terrified, I just don't want to live anymore. My hopes have all just crushed I now belong to some stranger who I just met. The bad part is if I don't obey him, he will send me back from where I came from so they could kill me. He now knows that I have no family and the Father Quinel ordered me to leave Stomford. He took advantage that my father and mother were both dead. This all just means that he could do whatever he wants to me.
     I am feeling alone with Father Quinel gone, there's no one to protect me. The only good thing I like about him is that he will feed me and give me the shelter I need. But, the only way he will give me food and shelter is if I do as he pleases. I'm very confused and I just hope that my Jesus can protect me from all of the evil in the mysterious town as well as from thus stranger.

     Who was Charlemagne? Was he very important? If so, why? All of those were the questions that I had before I knew about him. Don't worry if you don't understand you will after this blog. Or hopefully you do. If you don't you could just try to Google his name to find out more about him and what were the important things that he did for Europe. 
     Charlemagne was an important person in the Middle Ages. He was important because he made many changes in Europe and help it improve as well. As you can see, he was named King after his father died. A little after he was named King he was known for his great work so they decided to make him King. He ruled for 13 years then died and is still well known today. He was also a very great reason why Christianity spread in Europe.

     For New Years, each year we make a resolution. You might not know what that is, but don't worry I will explain to you just what it is. A new Years resolution is when you make a goal for the year of 2013, or the upcoming year that you will have. It's not a goal, but it's like a goal to me. You can also see it as a way that you can change your life for the better the upcoming year. So, you could either write it down on a piece of paper, or just keep it with you in your thoughts, but personally I believe it is better that you write it down on paper. 
     For my 2013 year I have many New Year's resolution's. But, I will only name a few or else this blog will become into a huge essay! Well, to start off I just wanted to share to you guys that my first New Years resolution was to focus on school, and sports. But, my main resolution was getting closer to God, and becoming a better person myself. I believe these are important, because these as of right now are the most things I value, because if you get closer to God, he will answer all your prayers. Maybe not the next day nor the next week, but he will someday.
     I also want to stay more focused in school and sports, because I believe that this is very important. I know that if I don't finish high school nor middle school my whole life could just die. For this reason I want to just keep my head in the game and keep trying hard on the things I love. Which are my fiends, family, school, and God.

     I can't wait for Winter Break! Well, not to much, because I'm not sure if my uncles are coming over so that we could do many fun things. Like all the other Winter Breaks me, my sister, my brother, and my uncles go to many different places. For example last Winter Break we went to Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, Reno, Nevada, Yosemite, Paso Robles,etc. The point is it was very fun, we even got to sleep over one night in each of the places we went. I really enjoy when they come, because instead of being home alone with nothing to do but clean I can get to visit many cool different places that I haven't been too. The only thing that I hate about going different places are the long, boring, not fun car rides. 
     The things I will not enjoy when I'm at Winter Break is not getting to see my friends. I love school too, but sometimes it can be to much work. I will miss my friends, but I know that maybe during the break I could go over there houses, or we could go somewhere like the movies. Well, I hope you have a great Winter Break and hopefully I get to eat a lot too! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

     Japan had taken many great ideas from either China, or Korea. There are many great ideas they took from either one of them. For example there were took some ideas from there culture, statues, etc. But, Japan couldn't take all of there ideas because for example, if Japan wanted to take their building ideas that wouldn't be possible, because Japan had very little space to fit in even a little apartment for their family. This is why they had to start building up.
     When I say building up, I mean that they had to build there houses kind of like a tree house. I thought it was pretty cool, but at the same time, I wouldn't have enough space as I would have in my house.
