The special item I chose to bring into class was a Bugs Bunny pen. I brought this pen to class because along time ago when my grandfather turned 8 his father gave him that pen. So when I turned 8 he gave it t me. I didnt think of it as a special object until a couple months later when he died. My grandfather and I were very close and when i relized he was gone I knew that the only thing i had to remember him was that pen.

Some people started talking about the 2012 disaster. But in only twenty four hours that myth will be over because in that time it will be January 1st 2013. At one point I thought that this myth was true but after really thinking it over I knew it wasnt going to happen.
