Here are some of the Daily Explorer posts.
Yesterday's RIM, the Freedom Sword, post:

Rare Freedom Swords aren’t just for Rare Item Monday, but please enjoy this one as we gear up for Freedom Day in Jamaa!

Swords were first developed in the Bronze Age (approximately in the third millennium BC) in the Middle East. They were first made of copper and then bronze. The oldest examples were found in Arslantepe, Turkey—although these are technically considered to be long daggers. Cooper and bronze are soft metals and tended to bend in blades over 24 inches (60cm). Later in the bronze age with the development of alloys (more than one metal melted together) and heat treatment, longer swords were able to be made that were less likely to bend under pressure.

*Hmm. That's pretty interesting, aye?*



Have you been following the soccer World Cup that’s now taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil? There have been some very exciting matches!

To celebrate, Animal Jam is featuring lots of soccer den items and accessories. Why not invite your buddies and host a match in your den?

Did your favorite team make it through the first round?

*Haha. I practically watch every World Cup game when I can.*



According to meteorology (the study of weather), today is the first official day of summer! This day is also called a solstice, and it has more hours of daylight than any other day of the year. The day with the most nighttime hours is called the winter solstice and it happens in late December. Sadly, that means after today, the days will start to get shorter and the nights will start to get longer.

Americans generalize the summer season being from Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, through Labor Day, the first Monday in September.

According to the Irish, summer starts on the first of May and ends the first of August. In Chinese astronomy, summer starts around the first week of May, with “lìxià” (lee-sha), the “establishment of summer”. On the Chinese calendar there are 24 terms to define the seasons.

Head over to Animal Jam Academy for the new Summer Carnival activities!

*I learned about solstices and equinoxes earlier this school year in my Science class. The Summer Solstice was June 21st, I believe.*

About school, let me go back to the main topic of this post. Yay! :P
So earlier today, I had my Middle School graduation. So next year, High School. Whoa. .O. XD In fact, today's also 2 of my cousins' High School graduations, and my cousin who also has a Middle School graduation was today too. ^-^ This year and the next few years, there are a lot of graduations in my family lol. So I'm say some stuff of how my day went. ^.^

In school at regular school hours (not 'regular'; we have half-days until school ends, which is tomorrow XD), the entire graduating class at my school had to rehearse for the Graduating Ceremony later in the day. Let me say, that it was pretty boring- and cold. The room was cold. XD We had to wear gowns (not caps though o-o) for our Graduation.
During the actual Graduation, our family and whoever else attended, watched us get our certificates/diplomas (whatever you call it) from the Gym (where it actually occurred) or from the Auditorium (it also has another name :P) The Gym no longer was freezing, too!
After getting congratulated by family and friends and taking pictures, my family and I went to a restaurant. Was good food. ^.^
I opened my Graduation cards and gifts. I got a new/kinda fancy purse, and a new lamp. The lamp has such a cool base (or whatever you call the bottom of a lamp)! It looks like a tree trunk with branches- even a bird! I desperately needed these 2 things. *o*

So yeah that's just some info about my Graduation. I'm not going to go into specific details or anything. I don't wanna bore you, make this another extremely long post (even though I bet it already is), or something. So yeah... CLASS OF '14!!! :D (purple & gold are my school's colors, by the way) :D


           

Peace out!
