I have mislead you. That wasn't my last entry. I am here to compare The Westing Game and Get a Clue. Get a Clue is a movie and The Westing Game is a book. They both tell the same story. I feel that the book is better.
I feel that the book is better because it had more stuff involved. They were missing Mrs. Baumbach and Theo Theodorakis. They were also missing the Coffee Shop on the first floor. They also didn't open the store until the end. That is why the book is better than the movie.

I can't believe tomorrow is my last full day of Stratford. I wrote this poem for the fifth grade.
If i went here Tomorrow, will they still remember me? There's to many places i got to go now, to many places I got to see. If I stayed here with you, school, things just would'nt be the same. 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now, and this bird you cannot change. Lord knows I cannot change. That is the end of my poem. This is also my last entry. Bye Bye.

My current event is about a world's fair site named an endangered site. Last Tuesday, the World Monument Fund came out with a new list for endangered places. Apperently, this site was one of them. When we talk to Bonnie Burham, she said "On this list, man is the real enemy." I am done. I'm Conor Burke. Good night and have a pleasent tomorrow.

For my group's project, I think we should do a project about being a govermental officer. I think we should do this becaue it involves math, social studies, and science. It involves math because you have to work with the economy and taxes. It involves social studies because you have to know about geography and hisory for this job. It involves science because you have to make things enviormentally-safe and sign bills to protcet different animals. That is why my group should do this project.

I think we should buy a new projector. I would like to do this because with every projector you get two bulbs. So, you get a new bulb for the other projector and a new, state of the art projector. Now you give the other projector to another person. Everyone is happy now. It might cost $200 more. But it's still better than buying a new bulb. Have you made your mind yet? Read the other entrees.

I would like owning my own restaurant. If I owned my own restaurant, I would call it the....
DISNEY CAFE! I would call it that because I like Walt Disney. We would have all different dishes like the Nemo Fish Special, the Roasted Donald Duck and the Carribbean Hidden Treasure. We would have desserts like the Mickey Mouse Sundae and the Pinnocchio Pop (based on his long nose). That would be my restaurant.
I would make lots of money from this successful restaurant. Could you make your own restaurant??

I love amusement parks. I think the best part about the parks are the awesome rides. If I could create a ride, I would create the...
ZERO GRAVITY RIDE! You would be on harnesses and you would jump on a trampoline. It would be like there is no gravity. People would pay good money to go on this ride. That is my ride.
Can you create an awesome ride like this one???

Hello, I am having a concert in an hour. It is going to be so much fun. We are doing three pieces in Band. We are doing Supercalafragilisticexpialidous, Dramatico. and Lyric Prelude. Dramatico is my favorite song. I play the trumpet. It is so much fun doing the trumpet. I have been playing it since last year. But, I am quiting the trumpet. I am playing the drums, next year. I'm not playing in band anymore either. I'm playing in Electronic Music. I love that kind of music. Bye.

Hello, it's me. I like working inside because people will pay more attention to the teacher and/or their work. It also can be harder for the kids that have some allergies. It is also cleaner than most fields that a class would work at. I will see you later.
4/23/07
Hey, it's me. Today, I was at the GCMS for Buddy Day. It was so much fun. I got to go to different classes. They were ELA and Woodshop. I wish I went to Gym instead of Woodshop. It would of been so much fun. Other than that, it was still fun. Bye.
4/11/07
Hello, it's me again. I had a great vacation. I went to Sarasota, Florida. I stayed a t a hotel called the Sand Cay and the Hilton. The sand cay was so much so fun.
When I was staying there on Good Friday, they had a moon bounce ride and the gave out prizes and candy and more. I also met someone named Peter from Chicago, IL.
We rode on the baggage carts and had a lot of fun. We went to a place called Jungle Gardens. It wasn't that exciting. I think I saw a dead alligator while I was there. I just came back from there, yesterday. I wish I was still there.
3/30/07
Hello, it's me! I was in a play last night called the Jungle Book. It was so much fun. Today is the last day of school before Spring Break. I am going to Florida. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. It is always so much fun. Bye

Hello, it's me. Have you ever heared of the Long Island Sound? Not the thing above Long Island, the band.
I'm in it. I play the drums in that band. Our best song is "Have you ever seen the rain?" by Creedance
Clearwater Revival. Bye.

I am happy!!

Hello, it's me again. I am happy today. I can't wait until St. Patricks Day. It will be so cool. I am so exited for it.
I don't know what I'm doing for it. I might watch the 200th something St. Patty's Day Parade in New York.
I wonder what skits they will do on Saturday Night Live. They will probably be so funny. I can't wait.

Hello. I AM HAPPY, TODAY.

Hey, it's me, again. I had the worst February break ever. I never left my house since Monday. I couldn't even get my ashes.
Even that the break is over I am still at home just sitting on the couch and watching television. Today, I was supposed to get a cool
office chair that almost everyone in my class sat in but me. I hope Mr. Pollitt is reading this and would be thoughtful enough to
switch my day to the day I come back. That would be awesome. I will see you when I come back.
2/16/07
Hello, it is me, again. I can't believe it is the last day of school until the February break. It will be so much fun. But, we're not
going on vacation. But, we might go to Florida in April. I love Ireland. I wish people could actually wash the Blarney Stone. Why would people pee on it, anyway? Bye, see you in two weeks.

and good. Bye. I will see you later.

Hello, it's me again. The 41st Superbowl was one of the best games I have ever seen. The Colts won. I wonder what their ring will look like. I bet it will look cool. I can't
believe Tiki Barber retired. He was so good on the Giants. I wonder if his number will be retired, too. I will see you later.

Earlier today, archiologists found 8 houses underground, two miles from Stonehenge. Scientists believe that these were the homes of the builders of Stonehenge. These houses date back to 2600 B.C. They also believe that there were 25 houses there. Scientists now call this place "Durringham Hills". See you later.

Hello it is me, again. Today, we started a new wrting piece. It is about what you would do if you were the last person on earth. I can't wait until sunday. Do you know what that is? It's Superbowl Sunday, Colts vs. Bears. I don't know why they chose Prince to play. Bye see you in Feb.
1/30/07
Hello, it's me again. Have you ever heared of the new band Mika. It sounds exactly like Queen. They play a song called Grace Kelly. You should see it some time on Youtube.com. See you later.
1/24/07
One of my favorite bands is Queen. I love Queen because they have so many good songs. Freddie Murcury is a phenomanal singer. He could hit the highest of notes and he can hit some low notes. Brian May makes face-melting guitar solos. Rodger Taylor could make Ben Stein smile with his fills. John Deacon isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. But together they could make a man of steel melt. They have awesome songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, Under Pressure and We Will Rock You. But anybody could of wrote We Will Rock You. That is why I like them best. Paragraph is in memory of Freddie Mercury, lost but not forgotten.
We miss you, Freddie.
1/23/07
Hello, it's me again. Nothing really intresting happened special today. I don't know why, but feel empty. I am finally getting a hair cut today. I want to have one because I hate long hair and I haven't got my dew cut in 5 months. When I grow up, I want to be in the United States Navy. Then I want to be a politician. I can't wait until I'm am an adult.

Hello, I am Conor and this is my first day on my online journal. I am 10 and a half years old and I live in Garden City. Did anybody see the AFC or the NFC Championship Games? I can't believe that the Saints have never been in a Superbowl Game. The AFC game was awsome. I can't believe that the Patriots lost to the Colts. Tom Brady was almost crying because he didn't win. He should just deal with it because he is running out of room on his finger for Superbowl Rings.
