Over the Easter holidays I did a lot of stuff, mostly with my family. During the long Easter weekend I hang around at home. On the Tuesday we travelled over to my family in Matamata. Travelling is usually boring if you don’t make fun out of it, but my trip wasn’t. Yet I was still relieved to arrive at my auntie’s.
That night we went possum shooting, but we only saw one. My cousin had been shooting the night before and had seemed to have frightened them away. We decided after seeing only one possum that night that it was a big waste of time going out again.
Wednesday and Thursday were more travelling but that was only over to Tauranga. We were searching for my cousin a car, and we went to watch the latest Fast and the Furious movie. It was AWSOME!!
That weekend my uncle took us to Rotorua for tenpin bowling. There were 8 of us and it took quite along time to get through everyone. It was still fun, and there was a lot of laughing. My mum even managed to get one of the bowling balls stuck on her thumb. The only dumb thing about it was that I lost by heaps. We went all around Rotorua, because of my brothers. They wanted to go to the park!
On Sunday it was back home but my aunty and them came over here for a few days that was cool.
My holidays were the best and school had to ruin them!!!

Setting up a Blog
Setting up a blog isn't to hard but writing up post can be a bit hard because you really have to think about what you are writing. When your choosing your password it doesn't except it. That can be awfully frustrating.

Keyboarding
Keyboarding:- is quite easy, and it isn't as hard as you think anyway. All it takes is just a little concentration, knowing where the keys are, and knowing which fingers go where. Sometimes it can be boring but I just get one with it anyway, since it's such an important skill these days. It's part of my other school work to, so being able to type fast and accurately means more work done!
I already new a bit about keyboarding before I came to this class but it wasn't to hard picking it up again. And now i can type pretty well! Doing the keyboarding revision helped me alot.
The reason why I did this class was:
1. It is a skill needed in most jobs.
2. I needed it to do my work on the computers, so that I could type faster and get all my work done and not end up on jam because I type to slow.
