There is a new fad in town: Chubs! The Amazing Pet Chubs kits have been selling left and right, and all thanks to one ad in the newspaper. But now, the Amazing Pet Chubs advertisements are getting amped up: Reunited Dumplings Co. is looking for spots on T.V. commercial schedules to air the new commercial.
Nickolodeon, Disney and Cartoon Network: we want you to air the ad on your television channels. We want a channel that attracts children, because Amazing Pet Chubs are specially made for children who want a pet and want to try something new and interesting, and your channels are the most watched by children of ages 4-10. Reunited Dumplings Co. will pay 10% of the profit made (while the commercial is on the air) to the channel which signs the contract first, and 5% and 3% to the third and second channels. Don't wait, get the Amazing Pet Chubs commercial on air now by calling 732-287-0847.

A Girl From Earth Translations Notice
Well, the A Girl From Earth translations are finally on my new blog, but I did have some problems with translating:
If there are any problems or suggestions about the new blog and the translations, you can Email me at metherat@gmail.com
I hope you enjoy the translations!
- In Russian, there are no quotations, so I only put them in when they were necessary to seperate narrated words from dialouge.
- Some of the words might be spelled weird, because theyre translated from Russian. The words are spelled weird because in Russian, everything is written almost exactly how it's spoken, and that's the way I wrote the translations of names and places, like Martian Boose and Shoosha.
If there are any problems or suggestions about the new blog and the translations, you can Email me at metherat@gmail.com
I hope you enjoy the translations!

New Posts, New Blog
Today, I have decided to create a new blog. I have recently started translating a Russian science fiction book to English, and I decided to make a whole new blog for it because i mostly only do my homework on this blog.
The (translated) name of the Russian science fiction is A Girl From Earth, and it is set in the end of the twenty-first century. In the book, Earth is peacefull, people can already go to planets beyond the Solar System to visit visit their alien friends, and have nearly discovered the secret of traveling at light speed.
The book was written for third grade level (It is the first book I ever translated, If you dont count my miserabule failure at translating The Velveteen Rabbit from English to Russian), and it is about a six year old girl going to outer space with her father, to search for animals for Earth's Cosmozoo. I really liked this book when I was a little kid, and I hope you enjoy it too.
I already have the translations of the prolouge and half of the frist chapter written down, so as soon as I create the new blog, I'll type and post the prolouge and the first chapter. I'll post the location of my new blog on this blog soon, so keep an eye out for new posts! I hope to get the new blog up in a day or two.

School Plus Sunday School
I go to a Russian Sunday school, called School Plus Sunday School, and I think that School Plus is a very special school. School Plus offers many interesting courses, such as Art, Math, and Russian (language).
One thing I really like about School Plus is the locations: School Plus Sunday School has been held in two different buildings. On weekdays, the buildings are used by Rutghers University, but on Sundays, children of all ages come there to learn and to just have fun. Both the interior and the exterior of both buildings is appealing; both have clean hallways and a rest hall filled with chairs. couches, and a few vending machines. Many students at School Plus call this area "the hall". The exterior of both buildings is surrounded by sidewalks, trees, grass, bushes and even flowers planted by the Rutgers students.
What I think is really special about School Plus are the classes. I take Art and Math, and I wanted to describe why I like both my classes so much.
My Art class is taught by Ivan Bratko, who specialises in sculpting magnificent imitations of human beings.
With Ivan, we learn painting techniques, how to sculpt simple sculptures, and even how to properly carve stone! We are currently finishing up our still life unit, and we will start our stone sculptures on the 12th of March.
My math class is taught by Mary Marvin, and all the students call her Miss Mary. Miss Mary is a rather nice teacher, and she always explains things and makes sure everyone understands problems we had trouble with. Miss Mary also offers summer enrichment programs if a student is doing particularly well, to get them into a higher class where they will be able to learn things that are more harder. You have work hard to skip a class, but it helps you a lot in your normall school.
My little brother also takes math and art, but he also takes chess, another class offered by School plus. His chess class is taught by Nonna Karakashyan, or Nonna Meehalovna by her Russian speaking students. Chess is a great strategy game which improves a person's critical thinking skills and teaches them to think before making a decision.
Another great opportunity for School Plus students is School Plus Camp, a morning-afternoon camp that can keep kids fit and help them not lose their knoledge over the summer. A typical day at School Plus Camp starts with all of the kids playing and exersizing in Highland Park, and then we all take a short walk to thethe building camp is held in. Then, we have classes like math or Russian or Art or Chess, and we go to a Rutgers pool nearby to swim in the nice, relaxing water before going back to the building for lunch. After lunch, we have more classes, and we either practice our annual play, or watch a Russian movie.
School Plus is a great school for both Russian speaking children, and children who do not know a single word of Russian, because every adult in the building can speak both Russian and English. It is a great school for people who want enrichment beyond their normal school, or people who are behind in their school and want some extra help. School Plu is a sunday school that offers grat opportunities!

What I learned During The Career Unit
In my middle school English class, we are finishing up our Career Unit, a unit about how to plan ahead to get the job you want in the future. To complete the unit, Mrs. Patalano has aksed us to blog about the mot important thing weve learned in the time of the Career Unit.
The most important thing I learned in the career unit is that planning can really help you. I already do minor planning, like writing down my homework in my planner so I can remember what ot do, but I learned that If I want to get to get into a good university after high school, Im going to have to work hard and plan ahead. On one of our worksheets from the career unit, we had to plan our high school classes.
I was pretty dissapointed that we coulndt have a second elective in our high school years, because then I'd have to choose between band and some other class that I'm interested in, like pottery. But I was interested in the math classes, because I saw that if I got into honors math next year, it could lead to me being one or two years ahead of the other kids in high school, or even get me into college or university early. In all of the videos we watched and the times we talked with Mrs. Patalano, we were always reminded that we need to start thinking about high school and college while we were still in middle school. I agree with this, because when I don't plan on how Im getting my homework done, It turns out to be as comlpete mess. I don want to have any more "messes", so Im going to try to plan ahead from now on.

College Essay
I had many barriers in my life that I had to cross, but I remember one above all others: my first real challenge. Like many other people I know, was bullied in my elementary school. It all started in kindergarten.
Many people have many embarrasing events happen to them in their early childhood, like falling in a mud puddle and getting all dirty, getting toilet paper stuck to your foot and not noticing it...
One of the most embarrasing events in my life was this: I accidentally swallowed a quarter in kindergarten, just another little kid in an embarrasing situation. Most people have something embarrasing happen to them, people laugh about it, and then the memory fades away.The only reason the memory didnt fade away for me was that a little boy (I dont want to tell anyone his name) had noticed. And this little boy was the talkative type. He quickly told all of his friends, who told their friends, and thats how the story usually spread throughout the class. In first grade, the little boy and his friends started teasing me: they spread nasty rumors, they would walk up to me and say "Hey, it's the girl who swallowed a quarter!". I didn't know what to do.
With every year the teasing got worse and worse, and I was really glum about the whole situation. But in third grade, I was a lot smarter than I had been before: I knew I had to take action if I wanted the bullies to stop.
I went to the office and told the counselor of my problems with the bullies, and nobody was bothering me the next day. I couldn't believe how easy it had been to get rid of my big problem! My expirience with bullies in elementary school taught me a lot: It taught me that you have to be brave and take action to make your life better.
