The End of June

Posted by Zac1790 on June 21, 2006, 1:52 p.m.

Phew… Well we're almost one third of the way through the summer and I'm putting in my first entry!

I don't want to put any of my games up just yet because I have a bad feeling that they'll bring down my ratings… hmm… Well, I do have one to put up…

Woah, I just noticed I have a badge for ten blog views… and I don't have a blog yet. Amazing. My name is just so famous … what's that? My name at GMC isn't Zac1790? Err… Right. It's Green Meteor Team just in case you wanted to know…

Well here I am in the middle of the summer, with a friend who used to go to my church telling me to get homeschooled so I can work full time game making and experimenting with Flash and stuff. Not that Flash is near as good as Gamemaker. It's just that he knows me as a great programmer and he wanted me to help out with a forum's arcade. Yeah.

Back to homeschooling: My dad says I should go to public school at least two more years (I'm in 8th grade) and my mom says I have to prove I can home school and still have a life. HELLO - School isn't a life! So I still have to prove it, probably by getting on a soccer team or something but I had this weird idea of apprenticing a blacksmith. Hey, you need to be just as strong to mow my back yard (with my piece-of-crap-push-mower). It's a massive hill with evil ground hogs and my brother who both dig holes that make my back yard look like a mine-field that just blew up.

The latest is that I have to write a persuasive essay to my mom persuading her to let me be homeschooled. I'll be back tomorrow after I write that and get my christmas game hosted and posted again.

P.S. - Persuasive Essay advice is always welcome in the comments!!

P.P.S. - thats post post script right?

P.P.P.S. - If you're reading this aloud someone is probably asking you if you need to go to the bathroom.

P.P.P.P.S. - Fingers TIRED!!!

P.P.P.P.P.S. - Info about my planned games for the rest of the year will come in my next blog. Zac out.

My summer started June 10th or something like that. I'm going to a cabin for a long time so I guess it evens out… somehow. :)

this is the longest summer i have for a long while, my middle school ended in may, but we stopped having classes in early may (school ended in late may), then we went for a week-long school trip to a camp-like ranch… yup, it was cool…

mrpacman, school ended in May and doesn't start until September? What country are you from? I go from June to August! July is my only entirely 'free' month.
