Jane Goodall at the Bookworm

Yesterday, as soon as we got to the bookworm(an English bookstore) The people in charge said we had to move to a school 3 minuet down the road because of over sold tickets. We had to wait a long time for Jane Goodall to come because she had gotten stuck in traffic. QSI, our school, preformed a song and did a skit when Jane Goodall came. After all the clapping, our science teacher gave a introduction on who Jane Goodall is and what she believes in. After that, Jane Goodall gave a very inspirational talk,she talked about the environment and how there are less and less forests for all the animals she loves and cares about, and how anyone, no matter how small or weak, could make a difference. Everyone in the crowd was staring at her, admiring how she talked, how every time she said something, you would want to go out and do it. After that, we sat around and waited to go have the buffet supper, which was vegetarian of course. There was a big line up so I didn't want to go just yet. When my friends dad came up to us and said that Jane Goodall was signing books and only three people were in line, we all ran towards the table. One of the pictures I got I asked her to sign it to Rosser, the school I was in in Canada. I asked her to sign it for them because when I was at Rosser, we went to a Me to We thing a BC place. There were a lot of speakers there, and one of them was Jane Goodall. So I thought it would be cool for them to have a picture that is signed by Jane Goodall herself. I also asked her to sign a Mr.H Junior that I bought. The real Mr.H has a really interesting story to go with him. The story was tied around Mr.H Junior's neck, so I asked her to sign that. After everyone went to the signing, the supper line got shorter, so I went to go line up. Everything was a salad. Pasta salad, fruit salad, and just plain salad. And for desert, there was carrot cake, it was really good. After everyone had finished eating, there was a question and answer session for Jane Goodall. Lots of people asked questions, which were good, and she even did a chimpanzee call for us. After that there was a raffle then everyone went home.

Fire!

Today in school, right after Cultural Studies at about 12:10am, there was an announcement that there was going to be a fire drill. We all file out of the school still talking about whatever we were talking about. When we finally got out of the school, we lined out in the shade. We started getting kind of worried when the teachers had a meeting, but then we decided that it was nothing. But then when the teachers came back, they told us there was actually a real fire! So then everyone started to get nervous, "what was going to happen about all our stuff?" We all sat down again and waited to be picked up by our parents. We all got 3 chicken nuggets each because it was so close to lunchtime, and a small bottle of water. The teacher called all the students parents and then all we could do was wait. When we asked the teachers what was going on, they said that there was a small fire, but they weren't sure if it was connected to the building or not, but just to be safe, they were sending us home. Even though I am 3 minuets away from the school, I was the second last to be picked up out of the 13 people in our class. So now we get to spend the rest of the day at home and don't have to go to school till tomorrow.
