chapter 2

2. There’s an old expression: “I feel like someone just stepped on my grave.”
Do you think it’s possible to foretell the future? Have you ever had a
feeling that something bad was going to happen?
I have felt like that before I felt like it was gonna be a bad day and it was a bad day. Have you ever felt like that? It's a weird feeling first you out feeling bad and then bad things happen. I felt like someone was stepping on my grave in the future. I had a bad day I didn't do well in p.e and we skipped my favorite subject SCIENCE! Watch out if you feel like your gonna have a bad day and if you do stay HOME!

I am most like Hermes because he can fly and I have always wanted to fly and he pranks people like me. He is a messenger for the gods,and a guide for the dead to the underworld. Poseidon is also kind of like me because he mostly stays in the water and I love water just like Poseidon. Athena is the god of domestic arts and I am really creative. I am always thinking of ideas for all kinds of crafts. I AM ANDREW AND I AM LIKE SOME GODS BYE!!!!!!!!!
