This is such a cool book so far. You have this girl that is part if a really smart group of kids but is also now doing drugs so she can become smarter. Thyme Gilcrest the main character in the book stole this drug called Ritalin from her friend Will and now the Ritalin is helping her become a better student.
I think she is taking the drug either because she grew up with her parents doing drugs or she is doing it so she can become more popular. Ever since Thyme has been taking the Ritalin she has done better in worldciv so I think it could be making her smarter the more she takes. She could also be taking the drug because she was doing bad in the math timed quizzes so she could be taking it so she could be doing it so she can feel like she is getting smarter.
Thyme went to this party with the 20 which is made of the smartest kids in school. Of course though Thyme took the ritilan so she could fit in which I think is ridiculous.

Hunger Games Movie review
I saw the Hunger Games movie yesterday and let me just say, BLEW MY MIND. In my mind out of 5 stars I would give it a 4 and a half. I say that because it followed the book very well but it just left out some minor details.
This movie is so full of action and if you don't like seeing people get their neck snapped or hit by fireballs, then don't watch it, but if you do then this is the movie for you. The cast was so good that whenever you looked at them after you have read the book, then you can picture them, and they look perfect. The directing was also amazing because when someone got stung you can see the hallucinations that they were having like blurry vision.
I loved the part where the giant dog jumped out and attacked Katniss and Peeta. My really only dislike is the fact of where Katniss got the mockingjay pin.

The part that made me cry was when Rue got hit with a spear and Katniss could not help her and Rue died. All and all though the movie was fantastic and I would recommend it to anybody.

What happened (fiction)
I remember when we were together,
sitting on your couch, playing games, and talking
then everything changed,
and you dump me on my birthday.
You said that we were just growing apart,
and frankly I agree with you.
Due to you always making fun of my friends,
taking my money for gas,
get your own gas you lazy moocher.
I am glad to shop at target,
and glad to have good friends/
You know though I am happy that we're over,
well happy in a crying sort of way,
crying wishing you would just get out of my life sort of way but it's ok.
Now I see where you were going with the fact we were growing apart,
and you know what?
Thank God.
You were the most whiny blah I have ever met
by just throwing a fit like a Tasmanian devil when you didn't get your way,
and you know something else?
Your wardrobe costs more than my car.
Now you are going around telling everyone that you dumped me
I guess that makes you an empowered individual
Wait did I say empowered individual
I meant you are a human genie.
I just have 1 last thing to say to you and that is,
I hope you made the right choice,
because we are through forever.

Virtual Space III: The End
Prologue
Triumphantly,we vanquished the uruk-hai and Saruman the white's rein of terror is over.
We are now in Osgiliath where we have met up with Faramir son of Denethor, and leader of the dunedain rangers. "Heeeeelllllppppp!"A man said as he was about to face the orc leader Gothmog. Quickly, we started charging at him and luckily, I managed to save the man from getting chopped into sushi. Gothmog fought valiantly, but we just managed to make him have to retreat, but I fear this is not the last we will see of him.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Brittney said as she was grabbed by a nazgul, which is a dragon like beast made by the sinistor Sauron.
"I have to go and save her." I said just watching her disappear behind a biuilding.
"No it is to risky, if you die it will just leave the four of us to go and fight the Eye of Sauron." Elegost said as he grabbed my arm.
"Ok, but we must go looking for her." I said trying to prove my point.
"We will, but for now we need to wait on that because we have our own problems to deal with"
Hadhod said as a nazgul started coming near us. We killed the nazgul due to Elegost shooting a paralyzing arrow in its heart.
"Brittney!" I said as I saw her just standing up looking around.
"Avery, you shouldn't be here, the Witch King of Angmar is here looking to kill everyone in his path." Brittney said as the Witch King was flying around the little island.
(voice echos) "Who dares come to my island." The Witch King said. The Witch King, Brittney, and I started fighting. Then suddenly, I saw a blade from Angmar and then it all started coming back to me now. I had been here before, I had been hurt from this blade, I fled, and that lead to my banishment. I grabbed my dagger, a 10 inch ballistic style blade, and stabbed myself to get rid of the wound I had in my body that made me so afraid of him.
"I am no longer afraid of you and your powers of intimedation do not work on me you worthless pile of slag." I said valiantly. We had a fierce battle Brittney had to use her powers of magic to keep us alive, because we kept trying to kill the Witch King and his nazgul. We finished the battle very much so victorious and the Witch King conviently enough is going to Minas Tirirh just like us. "I owe you my gratitude Brittney, without your guidence I would have never been able to get this far." I said to her as we were about to enter Minas Tirith.
"I know this but your destiny lies not with me but with another." Brittney said.
"Gondor is Mine!" Lord Denathor leader of Gondor said to Gandalf.
"No your rein of rule is over here, the heir Aragorn will take over Gondor now." Gandalf said as a response to Denathor's comment.
"There was a terrible battle about to happen to Minas Tirith, there are well over 2000 orcs out there at our front door." I told Gandalf.
"I know, wait I sense that Denathor is about to make a terrible mistake, I must go to his chamber quickly." Gandalf said in a rushed tone. I went with Gandalf to see what was about to happen and I saw Denathor with fire about to burn his own son Faramir.
"No!" I said as I tackled Denathor into the fire and saved his own son. After Denathor caught on fire he jumped off of the cliff of the Minas Tirith wall and Gandalf was named temperary ruler of Gondor. The orcs we faced were capitained by none other than Gothmog and the Witch King himself. We faced the Witch King once more with Gandalf and he defeated the Witch King really well.
After the battle we now were just outside of Gondor and in the badlands where there are, harridrum, mumikill, and more orcs. We were just walking around Me, Brittney, Elegost, Hadhod, Morwen, and Eaoden. As we were walking we, saw, the, WITCH KING. "Why, why him, why can't we just bypass him?"
(Echoed voice) "You left Osgiliath without your body in a body bag, now you won't be so lucky." The Witch King said.
"Not this time." Eaoden said.
"Fool you seem to forget that no man can defeat me, but you are welcome to give it your best shot." Said the Witch King. We had a marvelous battle, but what the Witch King didn't know is that we have a shield maiden named Eowyn.
"No, No, you can't defeat me, no man has ever defeated me." The Witch King said as Eowyn beat him into dust.
"I am no man, I am a women." Eowyn said in triumph
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." The Witch King said. Now there was only ONE challenge left, the EYE OF SAURON.
We got to the platform that the eye is one and now we see who is stronger, the level 150 boss or me at level 99, Brittney at level 99, Hadhod at level 90, Elegost at level 95, Morwen at level 89, and Eaoden at level 96. The eye was so big, it was on a tower that was as high as the clouds. I think I even saw some of the Greek gods. It was so hard to fight the Eye of Sauron he kept using fear so then none of the people could attack. The thing that sucked is that he made Brittney afraid of him and she could not heal any one else. We ended up just beating him due to Eaoden draining the last of his health and him just staying alive. Then it was my turn everyone fainted, me the last hope with one life left. I used the attack guardian strike which is my strongest and most accurate attack and it hit. Then I noticed that I had saved the world. Boo Yaa!
