Tarrytown, New York!

This is my homework! I'm going to talk about the last time I went on a trip to New York and how is it there! I was at New York for a month, it's actually a summer school study trip. So my school was located in a town called Tarrytown. It was a nice, small town, that was next to Sleepy Hollow! The first thing I thought about these climates are strange, because I have never in my life, experienced such a cold, cool weather!! It is rather cold and windy in the morning, it was sunny, too! The land was kind of up the hill and my school is located up the hill! There are many trees and many parks. I first saw signs of "Beware of Deers crossing" in Tarrytown! It was kind of funny when I thought there would be one! There are lots of squirrels here! I caught one and kept to myself for 15 minutes then I let it go! In Tarrytown, it is very likely for you to choose a squirrel for a mascot! I saw deer too! 3 of 'em! It was so cool, but they only go out only at night or very early in the morning when there are no people!

By the time changes, from the morning to noon, it got warmer for a bit, but still windy. The sun sets at 8 and a half to 9, it was a very long time! It got colder in the evening, and the blanket there was very very thin, and short. I shivered a lot! Well, mostly my teeth chattered but I did shiver too. During week 3 and 4, the weather suddenly turned all summery, it was hot and super dry! The sun was beaming at us, and my group had a problem, since we only brought cold clothes. Luckily, we all have jeans and t-shirts for emergency. We sweated throughout week 3 and 4. In the last day of New York, the weather turned back to how it was for us on the first day! It was cold and breezy! We had fun there! I love New York and I'd love to come there again!

About me!

Hello Mr. Blake and whoever you are reading my blog! My name is Aeris, pretty much obvious to your information. I am an 8th grader! I am currently studying in AIS, and having the Super Teacher, Mr. Blake as my Social Studies teacher!

I considered myself as an EI (Emotional Intelligence) person, and since I used most of my left brain (or is it right?) side. I like to read, a lot! I write stories, but I am on hiatus for a short time, since I have writer's block. I like food and especially sweets, I can eat a large amount of sweets without getting fat! I also like to draw, listen to music and sit there doing nothing! I have been learning English since I was a little girl, and now, it has been 9 years since that time. My favorite color is Blue (and every color that relates to it).

So that's pretty much about me! I have lots and lots of hobby, but maybe later on I'll reveal it :)

Hope you enjoy Mr. B!
