John Green In My Mail!

I don't know how many of you are Nerdfighters, but if you are one then you've definitely heard of John Green. So last July, I pre-ordered "The Fault in Our Stars" which is an excellent book by John Green. All pre-orders were promised to be signed and I was very excited to get my copy.
When I finally got my copy in January, it was not pre-ordered. Only John explained that not all of the pre-orders were signed and that if you e-mailed him about it, he would make up for it in some way shape or form. So I e-mailed him in late January and ever since I have eagerly been awaiting my J-scribble signature.

I got home today after school and found a letter from Penguin Young Readers Group in the mail. I opened it and found a letter that said that they were sorry about the mix up and they thanked me for supporting TFiOS. Inside was a little slip of paper signed by John Green. That's it right there. Sorry about the photo quality. My computer is obviously indenting at weird places. I'm so happy I finally got my John Green signature.

Power of the Pen- Regionals

I had my Regional competition for Power of the Pen today. I got 5th place overall, so I get to go to state! I'm pretty excited. I thought I did pretty well too.

The first prompt was Describe someone who you have nothing in common with. I wrote about a cat whose owners had a baby and he wasn't too happy about it. The second prompt was The Prize. Name one that isn't worth winning. I wrote about a girl who worked at a carnival and gave out crappy consolation prizes. The third prompt was The Letter. You weren't supposed to read it and the content is disturbing. I wrote about a girl who saw a letter from her dad even though her mom told her that her dad was dead. I'll be sure to post those soon. 

I'm really excited about going to state.
