Today is the last day of 2008! Whew! This is actually quite interesting. I love to count down to midnight whenever this happens. The funny thing is, usually there are relatives over or (last New Year's Eve) we were in Hong Kong. It was really cool, because the hotel we were staying in had this huge midnight buffet, but we didn't participate in it, even though it was free and there was lots of food. Actually, we would have, but we had a huge dinner with relatives so we didn't. I was thinking of sneaking down in my PJs' and getting something, but by the time I showered and got ready for bed, I was really really tired. I just love Hong Kong so much. Even when you are shopping, the feel of it is totally different. I also love the malls in Hong Kong, they are so cool and funky and (well, lets just put it this way) I LOVE HONG KONG! I also got a lot of headbands there! But the thing that is really interesting about it, is that at Hong Kong, there were so many things to do and so little time, so once we woke up (around 8am) we wouldn't stop till we got back to the hotel at around (12am). But then we would have to shower and wash up, so it would be around (1am) before we got to bed. But at least I was so tired I feel right to sleep. I wanted to write a journal everyday before bed. And I did! Except a couple nights when I was to tired to, but the next day, I would write more. I usually did it when we got back and I was waiting for a turn in the shower.

I don't know about you... but I love hotels! They are the best! And the hotel I went to was connected to a mall, so you could go down to the lobby and up a flight of stairs, and you would be at this mall. So usually, my mom, brother and me would go to the supermarket in the morning, and buy a whole bunch of fresh stuff. There were also a whole bunch of restaurants including a Japanese one! Japanese restaurants in Hong Kong are super duper expensive. But we ate there once. It was good, but not nearly as fresh as it is here, in Vancouver. I have lots to write, but I will not write all of it because that would be 2 weeks of writing! Hahahahaha!

My random thought/statement of the day: I love Hong Kong soooooooooooo much!

I just love winter break so much! And I can't believe in about 5 nights, we have to go back to school! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! I just love relaxing, watching movies, reading, shopping and emailing my friends so much! But I guess we have to go to school eventually... The only part I don't like is the fact that I have lots of homework to do... Chinese and school stuff. But I am planning to do lots today. In fact, I don't think I will leave this house much. Well, that is my goal, so that I complete more homework in a shorter amount of time. I am going to type out my English, finish my notes for AppSkills, and study for my Mandarin and Cantonese exam lots!

My random thought/statement of the day: I get to have sushi for lunch! Yay!

My cousin makes the best pastries on earth! She once took a baking course in France, so she is very very very good! She makes a whole bunch of yummy pastries and since she is here this winter break, she made us lots of really yummy cakes, cookies and other pastries. I was snacking on some almond crackers she made just as second ago. She also made us chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake and a coffee cake. My favourite pastry she makes is this shell-shaped tea biscuit called Madeline. I'm not sure if I spelt it right, because the actual name is in French. But they are just so good!

My random thought/statement of the day: This winter break has been fun, boring and tiring all rolled up in one so far. :)

YAY! Even though I missed Boxing Day, apparently, I didn't miss the Boxing Day SALE. But I did miss one thing... the crowds! YAY ME! Of course there were crowds, but not as many people came as the day before. We went shopping yesterday and the mall was really crowded, but compared to what I saw on the news before, it was like nothing. I didn't end up getting very much though. Just a bag. But that sure was better than not getting anything! I also went to some of my favourite clothing places but there was nothing good. Even if some of the items were $10 and less. I can't believe Boxing Day only comes once a year! Now that is what I call unfortunate! But usually, there are sidewalk sales at different malls, so you can still get good deals.

Enough about shopping though, I still have lots of work to complete. So probably for the rest of the week (hopefully after today) I will be staying home to complete it all. Even though I have complete lots, I have a whole lot more to do. Including practicing a speech for my Applied Skills Powerpoint. To tell you the truth, I don't want to go shopping today. I feel like I should be working more, even if it is break.

My random thought/statement of the day: My cousin baked this really yummy Black Forest cake, and even though I don't like chocolate, I've gotta admit, it tasted really really good!

Blog Term2 Day36

Okay... so I didn't get to go shopping because of the snow... but I think we might be able to go today! I completed lots of homework yesterday, so at least I know that I'm not too behind. But it was agony to watch the news and every few minutes or so, the news reporters would say something about boxing day. The news also showed people lining up for hours just to buy something. So in other words, I spent yesterday doing homework when a whole bunch of people got first dibs on everything! How terribly sad! :( Some of my favourite stories had up to 70% off! But I highly doubt there would be much of anything left after boxing day. Even though my shopping experience was terrible so far, at least (and I am proud to say) I finished some of my homework. But even though I completed lots, I still have lots to go. I still need to study my Chinese, finish off my Power Point, and type out a couple things but it should be fine. I still have another week. I just wish that we could have more time! That would make life so much better! I also wish that Friday was a weekend day. So we only have to go to school for 4 days a week instead of 5. Now that would be the life! :) But then again, I don't think the school board people would allow that, so there is no use in dreaming.

Okay, it's Boxing Day, and so far, it hasn't stopped snowing since I woke up this morning. I really really like snow, but it is kinda getting in the way for shopping... Even if it stopped snowing, there would still be lots of snow and ice on the roads, but with snow, well, it just makes it harder to drive anywhere. But enough about that, I have big plans for completing homework today. And I will do whatever I can to finish that homework. A week has passed, and it is almost back to school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, it's not back to school yet, but we are halfway there. What a tragedy!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!! Christmas is here! Okay, to tell you the truth Christmas is totally awesome, but now, I am gonna have to say goodbye to everybody's "Christmas Spirit". I guess it's okay, but then I have to wait for another year! Christmas is my favourite time of the year! Hey, it's like that song: It's the most, wonderful time, of the year! But to tell you the truth, I just love Christmas! I like everything about Christmas! The snow, the carols, the Santas, the decorations at the malls, the Christmas trees. But I wish that I could go shopping tomorrow. I still don't really get the concept of Boxing Day, but it seems like a day where a lot of things are on sale. I just hope that we can go out tomorrow! I really would like to go to Metrotown! Even though I went just 2 days ago..... Actually, I wouldn't mind any mall, it's just that Metrotown is so LARGE! Metropolis at Metrotown has every single store I know! And the food court is so big, there are a lot of choices. There is Indian, Italian, Japanese, Thai, and a whole lot of other foods to be tried! Last time I went, I had a really yummy dish of butter chicken on rice with some Naan bread. It was really really really good! Anyways, enough about that, I just hope that you have a very Merry Christmas!

My random thought/statement of the day: For Christmas, I got my mom a candle, my brother a bar of chocolate, and I chipped in to get my dad a wheel cover for his car.

It has snowed so much! In the morning, it snowed lots and then it stopped, so my dad, brother and I went outside to clear the sidewalks. We were outside for probably about 30 minutes. Then, my mom called us to go inside for lunch. We had homemade spaghetti and pizza! (Actually, my cousin made the pizza.) Then, after lunch we were hoping to finish up where we left off, but it started to snow again, and it hasn't stopped. Seriously, there is much snow! There is probably 20 centimeters. We are definitely gonna get a white Christmas! I haven't been working this morning. Hehehehehehehehe. And to tell you the truth, I feel like slacking off, but I can't because so far, my average is a B for most of my subjects. I am so scared about school when this vacation is over! All the teachers are making term 2 sound like agony! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually think that term 3 is better than term 2. But I am determined to do well. I just think term 1 has worn me down. But never fear, I am determined to get A's! I just have to work harder and stop studying for tests at the last minute. Because I have noticed these days, I am always studying for my tests during the block before the actual test. Terrible right? But I am determined to fix that flaw! Yay me!

I was hoping for a break with a lot of shopping and not so much homework. But that isn't really happening....... this morning, I read a book (and finished it) and then I worked on some of my English homework. I drew a title page, but after fine lining it, I think it looks really bad. I know I am being all negative, but there is seriously nothing good about right now. All I am doing is homework, and because it is snowy and cold, we aren't going anywhere! This is sad and boring. The only time I can actually relax is in the summer. But then, I also have to practice piano, and stuff like that. I also have to do "summer homework". (Gag!) Life is just an unfortunate cycle of homework. I just realized that I am always working. I just wish the Chinese exams wouldn't be right after the break. So the Chinese school people are pretty much telling us that we have to work over the holiday. Poo-ey! Life is just so BORING!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Hahahahahaha! Okay, that was just for fun. I just love fast-typing! Yay me!

For the whole morning, all I did was help my dad clear the sidewalks. It might sound like I didn't enjoy it, but it was so much fun! My brother, dad and I went outside at around 9:30am and worked until 11:30am. We were out for 2 hours, and it was so much fun! First, we cleared the backyard, and then we went to the front yard. The car was covered in 6 inches of snow (we measured) and we had to brush all of it off. But it turns out that underneath all that snow, there was a layer of ice, so we had to let the ice slowly melt by itself. In the end, all the snow was gone and the car now looks really clean and shiny! What a good way to wash your car! My mom's car was in the garage, so we only cleaned off my dad's car. Then, my brother and I decided to make a snowman, but instead of a man, we made a snow Yoshi. Okay, I admit that we are not done. In fact, we only make Yoshi's feet and legs... It's just that I am no good at doing that kinda thing. The only thing I can make is one big snow ball! And it isn't really a ball, it's just a blob...... Hahahahahahaha! I just love the snow! But would prefer to go sledding down hills. Now that is fun! The hills at Laurier are pretty good, but the ones at Churchill are soooo steep! In grade 6, I remember only half the class attended school because it snowed so much, that we got to go sledding for the whole day! We went to Churchill, and I remember there was a certain part that was so steep, my butt hurt so much by the end of it. I also remember falling off my sled so many times, but in the end, it was just a really fun time. I really really really really really really really really LOVE snow!

My random thought/statement of the day: The snow on the garage is at least a foot if not more!

Blog Term2 Day30

Wow, it is snowing so hard! It's awesome! I just love the snow so much! If only I had a sledding board or something, those things are so much fun! I haven't had the chance to go sledding at all this year, and I don't think I will. Those boards are so expensive! I love sledding down the hills though, it's fun and exhilarating! And since there is fresh snow, it would be even better. I could share a board with my brother and we could sled down the hills together! I once saw a board at Costco for $30, but that is still expensive for a piece of coloured foam. Those things are seriously overpriced. But then again, a lot of clothing shops sell clothes that are seriously overpriced yet I still say that it is a really good deal. I guess these things are all relevant! Today, I am planning to start my studying for my two Chinese exams, and I think I will do some English work on The Pearl. I would also like to work on my brain project for applied skills, but all my books are currently at my cousin's house for scanning. The Internet doesn't seem to have very good pictures of the brain, or they are too complex, so I have decided to get pictures from the book because they are detailed and specific. It is always better to get your information from books rather than the Internet, because people could be lying when they write something on their website. But books have to be published and edited, so the results are usually better.

Just think, next Saturday, I will have no classes at all! That is sooooooooo awesomely sweet! The only problem is, I still have lots of work to finish up, so I will only be relaxing half the time, I also have to bring up my marks, because me average for most of my classes is a B. I know, I really have to work harder. It's not the work that I am lacking "power" in, but the tests! For all my tests, my average is a B! This is really bad, because I have to maintain my marks! I don't know what is wrong with me. But these days, I am sleeping late, and not really studying for my tests. And when I do study for my tests, I do it last minute. The only tests I don't study last minute for are my science tests. But that is not abnormal for me because I love science. In fact, I think that science is sooooooo much fun! It's like shopping, but totally different. Hahahaha.

Today, I went to the lululemon outlet, and got a pair of pants! I think the original price was $90 something, but I got it for only $34! Now that is what I call a good deal, but then again, I wasn't the one paying..... The material is super smooth and slippery and apparently it's organic. (The material.) There was another pair of pants but it was a crop, and I am NOT gonna wear a crop when it is minus something degrees. I could get for summer, but I might get bigger by then, so I usually don't get clothes until the time has come unless I am sure that the size will be right. I LOVE my pants so much! I am super duper happy I got them! Yay me!

Finally, it's winter break! I am somewhat excited. The only thing that is blocking my excitement is the fact that I still have to practice piano tonight and I have 1 last Chinese school lesson along with 1 more piano lesson and then I have 2 weeks off. Unfortunately, I know that these 2 weeks will go by really quickly, and before I know it, it's back to school! Now that is what I call sad. It happens every time! At the beginning of a holiday, I write about how much time I have and then suddenly, it's time to go back to school! All the teachers are telling us to have a good holiday and relax and not do anything, but I still have lots of things to do. This is terribly sad. But I think that if I finish all my things in the first week, I could get the other week off, and that would make my life a little better. I am also planning on doing a lot of shopping and sleeping. I hope that I get lots of sleep. I am actually getting sleepy as I write this. I really really really need to catch up on my sleep. Hopefully, I can sleep by 10. I will probably play piano for an hour, finish up my rudiments and then sleep.

Tomorrow is the last day of school until winter break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! I seriously can't wait. Not only am I gonna wake up really late, but I am gonna watch movies, eat lots of food (not too much!), relax, go shopping and more. But I also have to do some homework... I have an applied skills project I have to work on, and some English too. But the main honker(s) are my Chinese exams! I have a Mandarin exam and a Cantonese exam to do, and trust me, they are really really really really really really really hard. It takes about 2 hours and a half to do the Cantonese one, and only about an hour to do the Mandarin one, but it still takes massive studying.

During the party, we watched Iron Man, and I LOVED it! The story was based on the comic (I think), and the special effects were amazing! Iron Man is one of those movies that a lot of editing, and special graphics are needed. There were also a lot of funny parts. Okay, about the actual party. First, we decorated the room during lunch break. Then, we played a game called Grinch gifts, and at the end, I walked home with a pretty candle and a chocolate bar. It was really fun, because all the gifts were wrapped and you didn't know what was inside. It was also really fun to anticipate when (or if) someone was going to take my gift. I was really hoping that nobody would, because I liked mine so much! And in the end, nobody did. YAY!!!!!!!!! After the gift exchange, we got some food and settled down for the movie. Most of the food consisted of chips, pop and cupcakes, but I managed to get 2 pieces of sushi and a small slice of pizza. I also resisted the temptation of getting the chips and the cupcakes, but to tell you the truth, I don't like sweet stuff, so I didn't find it hard to resist the cupcakes. It was hard for me to not eat the chips though, but I did it, and I am very proud of myself. I had a cup of lychee flavoured pop, and that was it. But then again, before the party started, I bought something light from the caf.

I LOVED walking home today. There was so much fresh snow, and I just love making snow men and stuff. I also can't wait till the party tomorrow! It goes on for 2 periods plus lunch break, so it is gonna be practically 3 hours. Yay! I LOVE parties, and this is gonna be the first actual party I have ever had in grade 8. That would make it my first party in high school! We are exchanging gifts, and I can't wait. The deal is, everyone has to bring a gift, and then we exchange them. To make a long paragraph short, I can't wait till the party!

Sorry, I don't have too much to write today. Oh yeah, one thing, I had 2 tests today. A math test and a square dancing test. I think I did okay in each, although I messed up practically every dance in square dancing except 2. Hehehehe. I hope I didn't cause others to lose some marks!

Another day, and it was awesome! The first class I had was English, and it was fun. And my English teacher said, next class, she is gonna make us hot chocolate! Yay! Then, for socials, we learned about ancient Rome, and I just happen to LOVE anything to do with ancient civilizations, so that was awesome. (When I grow up, I want to be an Egyptologist!) So, that was really really really great. And then for Applied Skills, we watched the movie Elf. I LOVE that movie. I watched it once before, but that story never gets old! That was a movie that was seriously funny! I love the story, and Buddy, the main character is just so sweet and innocent! Elf is also one of those stories with a moral, and it was also very Christmasy. My favourite part was when Buddy ripped the beard off the fake Santa's face and there was a fight. Then, we went to science, which is my favourite subject. I just love science, it is sooooooooo fun!!!!!

Today was a really cool day because when I walked home, the ground was really slippery! I was wearing boots though, so it wasn't as slippery as it could have been. It was so fun slipping and sliding on the ice and snow! The thing is, the roads were really really slippery so the cars had to go really slowly, and when I was crossing the road, I had to be extra extra careful. The sidewalks were fine though, because people would sprinkle salt onto them. I just LOVE snow. I would prefer snow over ice because ice is really slippery and there is more things you can do with snow. This morning, it took about 10 minutes to get the car started and the windows de-frosted. Even though there are some bad things about the cold weather, I still really really like it! I just wish I could get one of those foam sledding boards! Those rock!

YYYYYEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is finally snowing! I am so happy. Okay, it's not snowing right now, but there is snow on the ground, and that is good enough for me. Actually, I think it is better to play in the snow when it is not snowing, because then, you get a clear view of everyone and you can hit them with snow chunks. I would say "snow balls" but my "snow balls" look more like chunks. Hahahaha. I absolutely love love love snow! But compared to most places Vancouver doesn't snow too much. I just wish that it would snow more. But not too much, or then I can't go shopping..... And I really really really want to go shopping. I did lots of my homework last night, so I am allowed to go for a short time, but other than that, it's all homework. I know, I should be doing my homework, but that is all I ever do! The only time I can relax is when it's the weekends, so I am glad it's the weekend!

I don't know if I told you, but yesterday, I got a new pair of FUZZY slippers from Garage. They come past my ankles about an inch, so it makes me feet very very warm! I love fuzzy slippers. I had one before that only went up to my ankles, and it was still very warm, but they were too small for me, and I hate it when my feet get cold. So I got new ones! Yay! I just love to get ready for winter. I just love the scarves, gloves, toques, everything! In other words, I love winter, snow, and Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahaha! Today has been quite a day! You know how I always complain about Chinese school. And I always say I hate it and stuff? Well, the truth is, I don't hate it, in fact, I like it. I mean, most of the time, it is terrible. I'm denying it, but at the end of the day, I am super duper happy my mom never took my complaints seriously and allowed me to drop out. Because if I did, I wouldn't know Chinese at all, and that is terrible! Now, I hope that once I graduate, I will still studying and constantly use Chinese in my regular life. Another one of my goals is to learn French, Cantonese and Mandarin until I am fully fluent. And I hope that I will accomplish that goal! I think that once I graduate Chinese school this year, I will take extra curricular French and continue to speak, write, read and listen to Chinese, both Cantonese and Mandarin! I like setting goals because it gives me an idea to what I want to do in life.

But to tell you the truth, winter break is not really as fun as it sounds (for me). I already have a lot of assignments I have to work on during the break. Plus, I also have to study for my Chinese exams. In fact, I have 2! One for Mandarin and the other for Cantonese. And I am determined to get a really good mark. I also have to work on some school projects. But other than that, I am determined to do lots of shopping! We also got our report cards. I think that I did very well.

After yesterday, an awesome day, today seemed very very boring. There was nothing new about today. Just like every day 1. But at least I had lots of fun in drama! We did some mirror exercises and it may seem easy, but it actually requires a lot of concentration! (And your arms get tired by the end of it.) But other than that, it was really really fun! Also, I think the drama teacher is so knowledgeable about, well, drama! He also tells us a lot about all the actors he has met, and it seems like he is practically famous. Or at least well recognized. Some day, I want to be like him. But instead of drama, I would like to be well known for discovering many cool things about Ancient Egypt! That is my goal.

My brother is away at swimming again, so I think that I will have lots of time to play piano. But my main goal is to do lots of Chinese. I really don't like to wait until the last moment to do all my Chinese homework. But don't get me wrong, I have been practicing my Chinese since Saturday night, practically right after Chinese school.

Wow, where do I start? Today was an amazing day and the play was awesome! Okay, well after 2 classes, we met up at the front of the school. Then we took a bus down to Granville Island. After the teacher showed us where the theater was, we were free to wander around. First, a couple of us went to eat, because it was around 12 by then. I bought a pizza for $4. I know it is really expensive, but everything at Granville Island is expensive so there was no surprise there! The pizza I got was really really good though. It had cheese, sliced tomatoes and basil. That is probably the second best pizza place I have ever been to. The first is actually a small little shop far away and I don't know the name. Hehehehe. But I remember the pizza crust was just the best in the whole entire universe and the toppings were really fresh. The pizza was also very cheap. It was only about $2. Okay, enough about the pizza. After that, we wandered around a bit and I got some donut holes for my family. We also went to Kids Market. They have an awesome arcade there and somehow, I resisted the temptation to play. But the truth is, last time I went there, I spent $5 and I only got 2 bouncy balls, and I could have gotten 6 at the dollar shop. So that was the story about me and the arcade. I also wanted to get some candy for my brother, but candy isn't really good for you, plus I had already gotten the donuts. After that, we just walked around a bit. And then we saw the play.

The play was so good! It was actually very long, and judging by how smoothly everything went, they must have had lots of rehearsals! There were so many lines, it is truly amazing how they could remember them so well. The play was called It's a Wonderful Life and my favourite character is Clarence, the angel. Clarence is an old angel whom has to earn his wings, and in the end, he did! I was so happy! I also really really like plays, so I was very happy. There were also a lot of funny parts, and I was laughing so much. There was one part especially that I remember and it was a line for Clarence.

The bus ride back was really fun too. (Yes, I'm gonna talk about he bus ride!) We were all very excited from the play, and everyone took out their cameras and started to take pictures. It was really funny when this guy took a picture of his friend's face but the flash was on, so it was really bright, plus the fact that it was really dark, seemed to amplify the camera's intense light. So he was like,"Can I take your picture?" And his friend said,"Sure. Wait, is the flash on?" And he said,"No, I don't think so." So he took the picture, however the flash was on, so it was really bright. I know I shouldn't be laughing about this, because it could have been dangerous, but it was funny at the time.

Yay! Blog 101! My brother is gonna go to swimming lessons in about half an hour. So until then, it is seriously busy! In that time (about an hour), I usually play piano. It's a good time because my brother isn't fighting over it. Yay me! My best friend also had a basketball game so I went to watch for about half an hour. But after that, I seriously had to go because first of all, it's raining and I have to walk and secondly, the street lights were already on, and it was getting really dark. I hate walking home in the rain, because I don't know about you, but when I do, my hair gets soggy and my hands get really cold. Plus, my somewhat thin sweatpants absorb water like there is no yesterday, seriously. Am I saying the word "seriously" a lot? Because it seems like I am constantly typing it in! Hahahaha!

I am soooooooooooooo excited about Granville Island tomorrow! And don't worry, I'll write all about it. We are going to see a play called,"It's a Wonderful Life". But before that, we get to walk around for about an hour (even though most of that time will be devoted to eating, but still). I love Granville Island. I especially like this certain shop's donuts. I tried some last year, and have loved them ever since! I will probably get one for my mom, dad, brother and grandpa. I'll see how much money I have.

This is my 100th blog! I just checked the number and it said 99, which means that this one is number 100! That is so cool! It is really interesting to see how many blogs I have done. Okay, now about my day. I think that I have worked really hard, but unfortunately, I am super-duper tired! I didn't sleep too late last night. But I kinda feel asleep when I was studying. I was just sitting on my bed, studying for my English test, when I just feel asleep. It was around 11pm. And at least I washed up and had already gotten ready for school. I think my dad came later and turned off the lights and put the papers on my desk. Then, when I got home, I wanted to help out by heating up some soup, but I burned it. And there are little bits of black stuff floating around in it. I got the big pieces out, but there are many small bits that I wasn't able to get out. I think my dad isn't very happy about it. And the worst part is, it took my dad all of yesterday afternoon to make it, and now, the soup is non-drinkable. I feel really guilty. So, now, I am in my room, just finishing this blog up. This is not gonna be a happy 100th blog...

My random thought/statement of the day: I have a slight headache. :'(

Blog Term2 Day16

Almost lunch! I just came back from Church, and after about 15 minutes of setting the table, getting the food ready for cooking, I can finally sit down! I did lots of homework last night, but not everything. You know what I find funny? Weekends. The weekend is supposedly when you can relax, go shopping, hang out with friends that don't go to the same school as you, etc. But all the teachers are always giving you extra homework. I mean, don't get me wrong, I know that teachers have a certain amount of homework they have to give out and they are under a lot of pressure too. But seriously! I have about 6 hours of homework to do. And last night, I did about 2. It's also kinda hard because my Saturday is mostly occupied by Chinese school and piano lessons. And after that, I gotta do my Chinese homework. So it's tough. I think the best thing about elementary school is the fact that you only have 1 teacher. But I also like high school because of all the freedom and it's kinda fun to have different teachers.

I have a field trip on Wednesday, and I totally can't wait! We are going to see a play, and I am quite excited. The only thing I am not excited about is the fact that when we go on a field trip, we usually do a project afterwards or something, so that is kinda sad. But other than that, it's awesome.

My random thought/statement of the day: I think lunch will be ready in about 5 minutes.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire, is sooooo delightful, and since there's no place to go... Let it snow, let is snow, let is snow. Yay, I just love Christmas don't you? Christmas is my favourite time of the year. Not just because of the presents, but snow, the food, the carols, the Santas at different malls! Warm hot chocolate, happy people, family, parties, hanging out, winter vacation, friends, Christmas trees, Christmas decorations, Christmas everything! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also like the sales at the mall. Hehehehe. But seriously, there are awesome deals everywhere! I saw these awesome hoodies that were soooooo cheap compared to usual! It's amazing! I love Christmas because everyone is in a Christmas-y mood!

My random thought/statement of the day: I don't like fruit loops.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It's Friday again. My GOAL for tonight is to finish all my homework and know my dictation by 10:00pm. Then, I will sleep at 10:30! Yay! But then again, I have to work really hard for the next 5 hours. Piano will take up one and a half and dinner would take up about half an hour. Leaving me with only 3 hours for Chinese.... hmmmmmm. If I practice piano now, I can do Chinese for the rest of the evening. I'm gonna go with that plan. Usually, on Fridays, the only school homework I do is this, blog. Wait... I mean "fun"work. hehehehehe. I just realized that I like crumpets. Today, when I got back, I had a crumpet, and it was delish! Anyways, enough about crumpets, we had recycling today. And guess what? This time, it only took an hour! Usually, it takes an hour and a half. I'm happy because I got to come back home early! It was awesome!

My random thought/statement of the day: It's kinda amazing how 20 people can do the recycling for the juice boxes/cans/bottles for the whole school!

I might go to Richmond Centre tonight. But only if I finish all my school work. I finished almost all of my day 1 work yesterday, and now, I only have a bit of math to do. I think that I will probably do my math after this. Then, I will play piano and probably, by then, it will be dinner time. After dinner, I will most likely go shopping! Yay! And when I come back, it's Chinese homework time! Hopefully, I can sleep by latest 10:30pm! Then, tomorrow, it's square dancing! And to tell you the truth, I actually really really like it. The only time I don't like it is if I really don't get it and mess up the whole group. It's also kinda funny when I'm paired up with a tall grade 10 person. Since tomorrow is another Friday, it means shorter classes! But I still have to do recycling after... I like recycling, but sometimes, I think that during that time, I could be studying Chinese or something. And especially since it is a Friday.

My random thought/statement of the day: I think my favourite place in the whole entire school is the quiet study area in the library. I really like to study and work there before and during lunch time at school. The only problem is, there is always a group of people talking, and that makes me very paranoid, but I have learned to get over it.

I wanna eat sushi so bad! Today, the old dog pound was selling sushi, and I wanted to get some, but the sushis are kinda small compared to Samari Sushi House and they are too expensive. I know it's for charity, but I don't have $3.50 handy. Plus, because they are so small, I might have to get something small from the caf.

Today, I am determined to finish all of my homework, from day 1 and 2, so that tomorrow, I might possibly get to go night shopping. And if I can't go night shopping, I can sleep early on that day (night). But I like to think that there will be night shopping because it gives me lots of motivation. Usually shopping gives me motivation anyways. But I have a lot to complete, so no wasting time. I find that my concentration level is not that high, so I really gotta work on it. One second, I might be working on math, and the next, I will be thinking about mandarin oranges. Okay, that was totally random, but it ever so happens that I am sitting in front of a fruit bowl, and there are plenty of mandarin oranges in it. hehehehehe. yummy.

My random thought/statement of the day: Tuffy (my teddy bear) says,"Hi!" to you.

Blog Term2 Day12

Guess what? We had the 30th person finally come to Middle Years! It was so different with one more person. I know it seems like a really small difference, but it is really huge! Okay, that made very little sense...

My day has been very good. It was another day 2, and I got a science quiz! That isn't the only thing, I totally flunked it! Okay, I didn't fail, but I know I got 4 questions wrong, and I think that is a C+. the worst part is, I happen to love science! It was my favourite subject, and I thought I knew everything, but I guess I didn't. I actually studied for probably I total of 5 hours (spread out over a little more than a week) in counting, so I was disappointed in myself. I am usually not disappointed if I knew that I could have spent more time on it, but I worked so hard, which makes me sad just thinking about it. Anyways, more about the happy things. I had half of a yummy French onion soup and it was soooooooooooooo good! I shared it with my brother and mom, so that makes it a third. (hehehehe). Tonight, my mom might take my brother and me to a mall, but only if I complete all my homework. Apparently, you can go to the mall late at night from December first to Christmas.

My random thought/statement of the day: I want a hippopotamus for Christmas!

Today, I had a math test. Yep, another math test. I think I did alright... well I hope so anyways. The actual questions are pretty easy, as long as you get the concept. The only part that I found hard was that the questions were long, and there were a lot of them. There were so many, I didn't get to double check, and I am sure that I made some silly mistakes, I always do. Or, I forget to round down. Either way, I loose. Today was also kinda cool because for fine arts, instead of doing music, we switched to drama! I like music and drama, but it is good to switch sometimes, then I can experience everything! Today, we didn't do acting activities though, the teacher mostly went over the rules, what he would be expecting, what we would be doing, and some background info on drama, acting and film. I think that I am really gonna like this course!

My random thought/statement of the day: I love to act, but judging by what the drama teacher has to say, I have a lot to learn! :)
