Battle of chancellorsville

Log 1. It is may 1st and I got a feeling that I might not live anymore. I just got word that my squad and I are going for a attack mission. My squad leader is Jackson and he is telling us that we have to go to hookers left side and attack, because it is week. So tomorrow at around 0700 we will go and attack. But I have a bad felling that I will die.
Log 2. I actually made it out of the battle. It was a lot of casualties. 27,000 troops and I plus our general Stonewell Jackson attack while the rest of the 13,000 men keep the pressure on the federal to help us attack. There was a corps team that tried to attack us but instead they get tangled with Lee’s force. We finally got there and we attack the Union XI crops for the attack. But there was a accident our own general was killed by one of our men. But we did not know who it was but instead we just kept on fighting. So the command went over to J.E.B Stuart.
Log 3. When we went back to camp people were blaming me for killing Jackson. But I did not do it. So J.E.B Stuart went around the whole camp and asked who did it but everyone pointed at me. But I told him that it wasn’t me. So for my punishment the next attack I would be in front of everyone else. But the good thing is there was no other attack. I was actually sent to Lee’s squad, but I did not kill Jackson.
Log 4. It is around noon and we are going to attack hooker one last time. But we did not go at all. There was a message that made us not go to attack. He would not tell us what it was. So we did not go and attack. I just stayed in my tent and did nothing and wrote.
Log 5. We finally counterattack hooker. But instead we did get there. Hooker went across the river and retreated. After the battle I had to go to Trial to see if I am guilty or not. I was found not guilty because there was evidence if I did it or not. So I went back home and lived for a long time and died 1900 May 3.

Spring brake

So it is the first day of spring brake and I have immediately got of school and go up north. The way up north we were listening to Jim gaffigan until it was done. I is a funny CD and my family and my cousin was laughing really hard. That was at least 40 minutes of our drive. Soon after that we just started to listen to my sisters i-pod. But instead I was sleeping wile the music was on. I woke up right when we got there and I say my dad working. My dad was up there a day before us. The next day my cousin, my dad and I in the morning around 7 o'clock went for another 3 hours to get to Marquette Michigan to help my aunt move. We stopped for breakfast on the road so that we could get on the road after. That whole trip I was sleeping , because I did not like waking up at 6:30 so I slept. When we got there we started to pack the trailer full of boxes and stuff that we could fit. It only took about 1 hour to do, but we were able to get a full trailer. Later that night we went out to eat and a Italian restaurant and had pizza. But the next morning we left, and went home. The rest of the spring brake I did nothing and just relaxed and hung out with friends. Except for a bon-fire on Saturday with my family. But Except for working I had a fun spring brake.
