Netbook reflection 2012

Having a netbook this year has helped me with my learning. I find the netbook useful because I can search what I need to know. It is easier to organise my work in my Google docs. It helps me with my spelling because it shows a red line at the bottom of the word and it is easier to auto correct. When we have a writing test we don't have to write a long paragraph with pencil and paper because we have netbooks and its really helpful 

Sometimes it could be challenging using a netbook because there's too much information and I get distracted by playing games when I'm not supposed to. My netbook sometimes gets re-imaged by itself and it's really annoying. 

I might be going to another school next year without netbooks. It will be strange.

Knowing My Words

I am learning to research my words and find out what they mean so I can use them.

A Creepy Adventure

It was very late at night. I missed my bus home from work. Sadly I had no choice but to walk home. It was my first time walking home. I was really nervous because every time I went past the abandoned house on the bus, it always looked dark, scary and dead quiet. Now I had to walk past it by myself. As I was walking I was trying to be confident so I hummed along the way.

I heard a whistle from behind me so I turned around really fast with really big eyes and my heart skipped a beat. Hoping that there was no one and that it was just my imagination but when I turned all I saw was a green fog. Bats were flying around and there was a really old, ugly, hideous, naked tree with no leaves. For the first time I was staring straight at the house. The gates were old and made of iron. They squeaked when they swung in the wind. Sitting on top of the fence were these freaky gargoyles on each gate. They had red eyes and their face were hideous. As I was shuffling along looking straight at the house I could feel the eyes of the two gargoyles following me. I was really creeped out but I was thinking “Was I just paranoid or what?”. Then I thought that I would walk through the gates and down the footpath to have a peek at the house. As I was walking down the footpath I was shivering because even though the moon was out it was still dark and cloudy. There were even old, rusty headstones. Finally I got to the door and I slightly opened it.

It was squeaking as it opened from the wind. I walked through the door. Going through the hallway it was really dark and unlit. Suddenly the hallway lights were switching on and off. I was so scared I got paralyzed with fear, the only thing I could move was my head. I looked around with fear in my eyes and my heart was beating as fast as a cheetah.  Just as I turned my head I saw a girl that was so pale white with long black hair. She was wearing a white, long, ugly t-shirt that was dirty. So I asked her “How did you get here”? As I asked her my teeth were chattering. Then she started crying so loud I wanted  her to be quiet because she was making me nervous and so scared that I almost fainted. Finally I was unparalyzed so I ran quickly up the stairs and I could hear her laughing with an evil voice she started blaspheming me by saying “Haha run” and I was really creeped out, I wanted to be home so I screamed “Be quiet you orphan!”

Two minutes later it went quiet and I thought to myself oh no I shouldn’t have said that. I slightly  opened the door and I sprinted fast. I got out of the door and creepily she was standing in front of the gate with her hair in front of her head and blood going down her t-shirt. She had vicious teeth that were black. Blood was dripping I was so terrified and horrified but luckily I saw a van. I sprinted to the  van screaming “STOP! STOP!” As I ran, I turned around and she was so close. The distance wasn't far apart but soon I got tired but I knew I couldn’t give up because if I stopped I would've had to live with her for the rest of my life. That was when I gassed her and pushed through the wind as I ran past. Finally the distance between us was getting further and further  so I quickly jumped and opened the door and I screamed “Drive! Drive!” Then the van started going left and right about to crash I was so scared I thought the van was going to crash through the rail and kill me! The wind was so vicious it felt like it was tackling me off. I was fighting for my life. With all my strength I tried to force myself on and hopped inside of  the van. I was so optimistic and overjoyed that at last I was free from the creepy adventure that I had just been through.

About me
