Update and Friday 56-The General in His Labyrinth

Hello everyone. I know it has been a while, but I have just moved to St. Marys close to 1 year ago. A lot has happened since then, including my grade 8 graduation, but I am hoping to have time to post semi frequently on my blog, as I will be starting grade 9 soon. In the picture below are my two graduation awards I won, one the French Award and the other the Science and Technology Award. As well, I took the gause test, run by the University of Waterloo, and I got in the top 25% out of all the others that participated all over the world. So that has been fun.

Now, I will get on with my Friday 56. It is hosted by http://www.fredasvoice.com and the rules are:

*Grab a book, any book
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that’s ok.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don’t spoil it)
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url.
*It’s that simple.

Here’s my Friday 56:

José Palacios did not know when his master’s dreams about General Santander were real and when they were imaginary.

I am currently on page 23, so I look forward to what this means.

That’s all for now. I hope to post again in the near future.
