Ash Wednesday

Yesterday was a holiday. It is called Ash Wednesday. It is very important to Catholics. From yesterday to Easter there is a period called Lent. During this time, many Catholics stop doing something.

For example, some people quit smoking, or stop eating chocolate, or try not to drink alcohol.

I think it is a strange thing to do. If something is bad, we should stop as soon as possible. If it isn’t bad, then we should keep doing it. What do you think?

Peculiar Weather

Today I found snow on my car in the morning. After I got to school, the snow stopped, and the sun came out. During first period, it started to snow again. The snow started and stopped at least 10 times during the day. Each time the snow stopped, it got sunny.

I couldn’t believe it.

At school it caused a lot of trouble because the students were very excited and distracted.
