Boy do I know how to waste time! I came back from piano lessons at around 3 in the afternoon and I haven't done much homework. The only thing I have done is study for my book test, which is sort of the least of my worries. I have mounds of homework. It is getting really stressful. In science, we have a lab due on Monday, a test on Wednesday and a Science Fair that is coming up. None of these assignments have been given last minute, but I just haven't had the time to do them. Then, there is also a castle that I have to plan for socials, plus posting on the forum, and a in English, I have to answer a bunch of questions and draw and colour a map! The worst part is, I mostly only have Sunday to do any work because on Saturday, I have Chinese school, followed closely with piano lessons and finally a short period of time before fun night.

I am officially super-duper tired! Since today is Friday, I had Grassroots recycling right after school. Then, after that, I went to the dentist for braces. I was supposed to get my top braces today, but instead, the dentist just changed my bottom ones. Now, my teeth are sore again. I had to get these noodles from a restaurant (that has amazingly awesome food) so that I wouldn't go hungry tonight. Biting into things hurts my teeth right now. Then, when I got back, I took a shower followed by a little bit of homework. After doing my blog, I will probably move on to piano, and I am determined to play for 2 hours. I didn't get to play much, so I will make sure that I do loads of it tonight. Then, I will probably do some Chinese homework followed by the work I get with piano lessons. Man, I am so tired right now, my eyelids feel really heavy and I would just love to sleep! I finished reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 3 days and that is pretty good. I could have read it in 2, but unfortunately, unlike the summer, I have lots of stuff to do!

My random thought/statement of the day: My teeth roots hurt! It may sound weird, but it really isn't. Me teeth feel really numb...

Well, I have this major French workbook that is about 18 pages to do by today, but other than that, not anything else. I still have some Chinese to do, and I really have to practice piano. But the worst part is, this Saturday, it's back to Chinese school, we had a one week break because of Chinese New Year. I love weeks without Chinese school! I can sleep an hour earlier each night and the pressure is not everywhere. I just had dinner, so I am pretty full. I have noticed that after coming back from school and showering, I always eat a snack of some sort, so I don't eat much dinner. I am always on the computer for an hour each night. Not only for blogging, but also for the forum, and then I check my email, so in the end, it takes about an hour. Then, if I add showering, eating dinner and washing my lunch thermos, that also takes an hour. That would be 2 hours down already. Then, there is school work (it all depends on how much there is) but the average is about 2-3 hours. And then piano, and Chinese. So as you can see, there isn't much "break time". Well, that is besides fun night...

My random thought/statement of the day: Tomorrow, I am getting the braces on my top teeth.

Oh great! I totally messed up on my gymnastics routine. And I can't have a re-do (naturally). I just can't put it down because I worked so hard on it, and I messed up because I got nervous. You might be thinking, it can't be that bad, but it is! I got a 48 out of 63! That is 72%! I think... But I'm not upset about the mark... Okay, I am upset about my mark, but I feel bad because I let myself down... I worked really hard and never took a long break. I even practiced at home! I was beginning to really like gymnastics, but getting a bad mark is just one of those things that kinda ruin "the moment". I should practice more, but I have no motivation... Usually when I don't get a good mark, I ask for a re-do or use that as a motivating thing, but now, I just feel a little depressed. Maybe it's because of lack of sleep.

My random thought/statement of the day: I signed up for a book test for tomorrow, and guess what book I chose? Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. That was stupid of me because it will take a long time to finish it. I'm almost at the half-point though...

Ahhhh! I am not a happy camper! I have to do my gymnastics performance tomorrow, and I hurt my back yesterday. Last year, I hurt my back while doing a dive in swimming, so gymnastics makes it hurt a little more. Tonight, I am planning on resting my back a little more. I will also put some ice on it, that might help. Now, all I have to do is plan out my performance and memorize the order of my moves. I actually really really like gymnastics, but I would really like to spend more time practicing... I didn't know that I was going second until yesterday, I think that I should have had more time, but at least most of my moves are pretty good... I just need to work on my splits and rest my back. But that might be a little tricky to do that both...

For P.E, I am second in line! Ahhhhh! Okay, this is what I mean, we have to do this gymnastics performance, and I pulled out number 2... Isn't that terrible, I would rather get last then first! We were to pull out a random number (without seeing them) and I got number 2! Now, I have to perform next P.E class. This is especially sad because now, I have to add that to my top 5 priority list, and I have about 20 things on the list! This is really sad. Right now, every subject demands attention after school, and I have a handful of tests and quizzes to worry about, including 2 skits. I still have to do some Chinese homework too!

Ah! Another Sunday, this is really bad because it's back to school tomorrow! I still have to do lots because last night was no-work night. But if I work really fast and smart, I might be able to finish all the work before dinner! Last night, for fun night, my mom, brother and I watched a movie. It was pretty good. Yesterday, my brother went to Build-A-Bear and got a little turtle stuffy. It is extremely cute, and he named it Hiver. You know what I like about Build-A-Bear workshop? I can pick what animal I like and then stuff it. Then, I can see the stuffy getting stuffed right in front of my eyes (I like my stuffies really plump and huggable). It's also fun to pick a heart and then make wishes etc. And then, we can dress the animals and finally print out a birth certificate. It's so cute! I just love Build-A-Bear workshop, especially because all the staff are really nice and friendly. In other words, Build-A-Bear workshop is just so much fun!

My random thought/statement of the day: My eyes feel weird from staring at the computer screen too long, I have to take a long break after this, and not look at another computer screen for a really long time.

Yay! Fun night! Wow, these weeks come fast! It seemed like just a day or so ago when it was last Saturday, and I was writing about what movie we would watch. Before fun night starts though, I have to do some Science, Socials and French homework, but from 8pm until I sleep, it's all fun and no work. My teeth feel really funny. I got braces on my lower teeth, but it makes the top ones feel weird. After about another week, I have to get the top ones. I think that my dentist wanted to make me feel used to the bottom ones before the top ones. Then, it will also make eating easier. I still can't eat a lot of things, but I have had the braces on my lower teeth for about a week now, so it's not as bad. The first three nights back, I had to eat congee, and it took me ages to eat! It really is crazy. And now, the blisters are starting to come in. The braces are constantly rubbing against the inner part of my lip, so it is causing pain. But according to my best friend who also has braces, I will get used to it soon. That's good!

My random thought/statement of the day: Today, my brother went to Build-A-Bear and got a turtle. The turtle is actually really cute, and it was the last one in stock! Lucky huh?

Yay, it's Pro-D day, but I don't think that this one will be much fun. For the first part, I have lots of homework to complete, and secondly, I have to practice loads of piano, even though I practiced about 2 hours last night! I find that playing piano really relieves my stress and helps me relax. You know what also helps me relax? Reading! I have to visit the library today because I NEED to finish reading the Harry Potter series (for the sixth time). And also because I have a couple book tests to complete. I have the first Harry Potter book in my "home library", so I got hooked. I just finished the third one, and I have to get the fourth and fifth one! I can read a Harry Potter book in one day. That's the problem, once I start reading a book (doesn't matter which one) I start reading and never stop. I take it everywhere with me, well almost everywhere with me! Hahahahaha!

Today was a Friday day, even though it was a Thursday. That is because there is a parent-teacher interview tonight, and the teachers need to get ready. And you know what the best part is? Tomorrow, it's a Pro-D day, so I can go shopping, but only unless I do lots of my homework tonight. I also have to practice lots of piano. And hopefully, I can also do all of my Chinese homework. I'm actually extremely tired right now. I think it's because I had P.E first block, so that drained a lot of my energy, and then I went running, and finally I fast-walked back home. And to add to the list, I also slept late last night, but then again, I always sleep late... I know it's bad, but I just have so much homework and lessons, I always sleep late.

My random thought/statement of the day: I find that really want to have a bowl of chicken soup, especially since I just got braces, so I can't really eat much.

I just had my hair cut! I know this isn't too important, but it is still kinda cool. Before that, my hair was actually very long. Now, it's just below my shoulders. I think that it looks better shorter though... It's also better to keep it short because then, I can blow-dry it quicker. When it is really long, it takes my about 10 minutes to blow dry it. It may sound like a short time, but when you are there, holding a somewhat heavy object for 10 minutes, it seems like a long time.

It usually takes me about 3 hours to perfect one... I guess I will just have to do lots of planning and reviewing tonight! I shouldn't have left it too last minute, but I had a Chinese test and that was my "big rock" for the week. I just really hope I do a good job and don't make any stupid mistakes.

I just got braces... For my bottom teeth. I'm gonna get the top ones in about 2 weeks. It feels a little weird to finally get braces, but the feeling isn't too new to me. I had to wear a retainer for about a year, so the whole something-in-my-mouth feeling isn't too alien. The only real difference is with a retainer, it can easily be taken off, and I had to take it off whenever I ate anyways. But I can't just take off my retainer. My dentist says that I should brush after every meal, that would take a lot of dedication. But I will really try hard. I think that I might not be able to eat anything remotely hard for the next week.

The whole day was really good though, and I didn't get an overwhelming amount of work. There is definitely an assignment per subject, but I finished all my day 1 work last night, so there is only about 4 things to do. Actually, scratch that, I have about 6 school things to do...

I just finished a half of a light apple tart, and it was so good! I just came back and I also went to Staples to get a Science Fair board! Yay! The boards are actually quite expensive! The cheapest one was about $15. Just for a piece of cardboard! It might have been overpriced, but definitely smartly overpriced. Because if you think about it, Science Fair boards aren't available everywhere, so you would have to get it there. And the companies that produce boards like that can overprice them, because there aren't many companies that sell boards like that. Well, anyways, last night, for fun night, we watched a movie. The movie is a cartoon and it was really cute. It wasn't at all baby-ish though. I also finished my lab write up last night (before fun night started) and I am pretty proud to say that it wasn't that hard to do. I just love science so much! :) Hehehehehehe. This school week is gonna be weird. There are parent teacher interviews on Thursday, and a pro-d day on Friday, what a wonderful life! Plus, I have no Chinese dictation this week, because yesterday, it was the major test. I am so glad that is done with. My goal for this week is to practice (at least) an hour or two of piano each night.

Right now, I am watching this T.V show about the Sahara Desert. It is actually really interesting. Okay, I am half watching and half doing this blog. The people that live there have a really simple house and life. Well, their houses are simple one room or two room houses that are made with mud, and their tents are made of camels fur. camels are very important to them, they are the only form of transportation besides their own feet. In the beginning, I thought that that program wasn't very interesting, but as I watched it, I liked it even more. Too bad they didn't have hippos... I love hippos so much! Especially fuzzy house hippos! Hahahahaha! Actually, my hippos stuffy is watching my blog right now. :) Hehehehehe.

Tonight is fun night, but I don't really feel in the mood to have any fun. I feel more tired, even though I took a 2 hour nap and just woke up. Now, the program is talking about monkeys. How cute! I love monkeys, but not as much as hippos! Hahahahaha!

I am in the middle of reading Harry Potter book 2, but I really should stop and focus on studying for my Chinese exam tomorrow. And the worst part is, I also have to practice loads of piano because I didn't practice at all this week. I was busy all week, and I think I will be extra-super busy this weekend. Even after I'm done my Chinese exam. I kept on delaying all my school work in hopes of buying more time to study Chinese. Lets just say the outcome was not so good. I got to study more Chinese, but now, I am faced with about ten assigments to do. And just 2 days. I never do any school work on Friday, because that is my study Chinese and practice piano day. Then, on Saturday, I only have the evening to do my work, because of all my lessons, but I really shouldn't because Saturday night is supposed to be my fun night. Then, we wind down to Sunday, and that is only about 24 hours to do my work. So, as you can see, my life isn't all that grand. But it's better than a LOT of other people's lives. So maybe I should just STOP complaining over this kinda stuff...

I didn't even get to practice piano at all this week. Okay, after this blog, I am going to study Chinese until my eyes fall out. Oh wait... I'm not done my math homework... Oh great! Oh well, I'll do it tomorrow morning. Like I said, I have pretty bad time managment skills, but I try to improve them! And guess what? I am starting to feel sleepy.

What a day! There is so much to be done! This week, I have had so many things to do! This week has been quite overwhelming... I really should get studying for my up-coming Chinese exam, it's just that every time I study, it is always late at night, so I usually fall asleep in the middle of it. Last night, I was studying some worksheets, and then I guess I must have fallen asleep, because when I woke up, it was morning, and my alarm clock was ringing. The teachers HAVE to give less homework! I really try to have a fun night, but it is really tricky. Last year, I used to reserve Saturday as movie night, but these days I am just so busy, that I didn't even have one over the last 3 weeks or so. I really should start doing all the other homework I have, so I can have time to study Chinese.

My schedule is so jammed up for the rest of the week, I don't think I have any time to just relax, which is very bad.

This summer, I really really really want to go to Disneyland in California! I went there a long time ago, plus, I have relatives that live there, so it would be so cool! We drove all the way there, so it took us 3 whole days to get there and about 2 days to get back. It was so much fun thought, and I love staying at hotels. I don't know why, but I do. Especially hotels that have cool game rooms, swimming pools and stuff like that. I actually really don't like motels though. I don't know why, but they are usually not as clean. I also like how the Disneyland in California is across from California Adventure! Just thinking about going to California is giving me the tingles!

The one I did today was about an hour. The other one will be 2 hours and a half. I just got back from piano lessons, and I am so tired. Tonight, I am planning on doing a lot of homework. Then, at around 9 pm, we will start the movie, but I think that tonight, I might want to work more and play less. I still have to do a couple more runs for my science fair project. Then, I have to go to Staples and get a board. There is a Staples by Richmond Centre, so I might do a little shopping tomorrow too. But these days, I'm not really in the shopping mood. I just wanna sleep and read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but the library didn't have it! Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, what a day! The Bulldog Classic was today, and a couple grade 8 classes had a field trip for the whole day, so every class was missing at least 6 people. And for blocks A and B, there were only about 5 people in each class. I didn't participate in the Bulldog Classic because every time I watch a basketball game, I get bored quarter way through, so I decided not to go. Plus, for P.E that morning, we watched a basketball game instead of the usual classes. I like basketball and everything, but sometimes, I just find it boring to watch something for so long. Unless it is a good movie or something. I don't have very good concentration. Okay, I do, but only when it is something I have an interest in, or if I am really in the mood. After P.E, I had French, where we did some review sheets. There was still a majority of the class there, since the Bulldog Classic didn't start till after lunch. Then, for block A, I had Drama, but only 5 people (including me) showed up, so we just hung around and we told stories. It was fun. Then for block B, I had math, and about 7 people were there. I actually finished all the math homework that was given then, so that is definitely something to be happy about!

When I walked home today, I could hear all the sounds the drains made, and it is actually really wet and I am afraid it might flood. I don't know if there will be any more fresh snow, but if it snowed and rained any more, it might actually flood!

I have so much homework to do! It's crazy! Especially in English. We have this huge 70-mark project that is due on Friday. And then a huge 200-500 work essay and finally 3 worksheets to complete. But that is just English! We also have a science fair, a science worksheet, a socials textbook related assignment and practicing Applied Skills presentation, but I'm number 26, so I still have some time to go. Oh yeah, and a math worksheet. Wait, that's not all, I still have to practice for my 2 Chinese exams, and I really want to do well on both. I'm also finding it hard to practice piano every day when there is so much to do. By the time, I finish my school work, it will probably be 9 pm. Then, I have to do Chinese. I just wish the teachers wouldn't pile so much on at once. I never get enough sleep. Last night, I got 7 hours, and I am supposed to be getting 9! I know that if I had better time management, I wouldn't be sleeping so late, but even if I did have good time management, there is still an overwhelming amount of homework to do.

I walked back today, and the roads weren't too slippery. The only problems were the sidewalks when the home owners didn't shovel away the snow. It was also raining at that time, so I had to wear my rain jacket and use my umbrella. In the morning, I walked to school a bit for about 10 minutes, and I was completely soaked. That time, I didn't use an umbrella. But when I came home, I did, and I'm glad I thought to do so. My mom and brother just came home, and my mom bought some sushi for us! But just as a snack. I only ate about 4 small pieces. But it sure tasted good! Now, I want to have sushi for lunch! Yum! I feel so worn out already, but the good thing is, I just got back a math test and I got 94% on it, so I am pretty happy! Even though I haven't been getting too good marks on some of my other subjects, this math test kinda made up for it. But I am seriously gonna work harder. I have noticed the reasons I haven't been getting good marks lately is because I always study at the last minute, and so I tend to not do as well. But I will try to fix it.

Well, I just got back and to tell you the truth, it gets dark really really fast these days. I didn't want to walk home, because the sidewalks were just too slippery, so I didn't want to slip and fall. Plus, I sort-of injured my knee over the holidays, so after walking non-stop for about 20 minutes are so, it gets really sore. Plus I had a very heavy backpack, so I just hung around and my mom came and picked me up. Unfortunately, I had to wait for about an hour and a half. I also couldn't do my homework because the work I needed to do involved a computer and a computer wasn't available. But now that I am back, I am determined to do lots of homework. This is what I have to do: practice my applied skills speech, do English project, science worksheet, science fair, and a whole bunch of studying for Chinese. Sometimes, I find school to be a little overwhelming. And the GO program is totally right, sometimes, when there is too much school work, I don't play piano, or study Chinese, and that causes my piano and Chinese work to go downhill. And it's not all glory for my school work either, because sometimes, I think about the other work I have to do, and that causes me to loose concentration. Life is just about balance and time management. I also got a whole bunch of stuff back from science today, and I got really really really bad marks for most of the work, so that tells me I have to work really really really really really hard if I want to maintain my marks. Seriously, most of the stuff I did was a B or lower. I HATE getting back bad marks. It just makes me depressed, because I knew I could have done better!

Okay, so this is the last day of winter break! How terrible and sad! I really don't want to go back to school so soon. But I should stop complaining, it's not like I could "go back in time". But I think that this break was actually pretty relaxing and fun. I just wished I studied more of my Chinese work! But overall, everything went well. Oh wait, except my sore throat... That is NOT fun. And last night, I had to drink this gross spicy ginger drink. EWWWWWWW! That is all I can say. But my mom says that it is good to have hot drinks when my throat hurts, so yesterday I probably had 9 cups of hot drinks. I tried honey water, plain hot water, the gross ginger drink, and a couple others. And today, I started off with hot soy milk, and now, I am drinking hot water. My throat hurts whenever I swallow. So that is practically every 5 seconds or so. It also makes practicing for my powerpoint presentation hard. I just really really really hope that the presentations won't be on the very first day we get back. The time might help my throat get better. And to tell you the truth, I get pains and sore throats and stuff like that at the worst times! It is absolutely terrible. I'm also not gonna go shopping, even though it's the last day of winter break. I am totally focusing on Chinese tests and piano. I have practiced lots of piano also! :) I am just so happy right now, except the whole throat issue...

My random thought/statement of the day: At least I can look forward to seeing my friends tomorrow!

Blog Term2 Day43

Sorry about last blog. I wasn't really in the "blogging mood" so I didn't write much. But I feel like writing today, so that should make up for it. I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, for the tenth time. But it happened to be one of the books in my super mini "library" so I decided to read it. The thing about Harry Potter, is that the books are genuinely good. Well, the first 3-4 were really good, but then the rest were only border line good to okay. The first 2 were extremely good. But, I don't happen to have the second one, so I guess I will have to make a trip to the library soon! I just love libraries, especially the school one. My favourite part would be the quiet study area.

What do you know? It's snowing again. After about a couple of days of no snow and only cold, wet rain, it snows again! My mom says that we are probably gonna get more snow and rain. But I am definitely used to rain.

My random thought/statement of the day: For some strange reason, my throat is really sore and it hurts every time I swallow!

Blog Term2 Day42

I can't believe it's the last weekday of winter break! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! This is terrible! I just wish the break could be longer, but then again, I would have to go back to school eventually! Hahahah! I have finished most of my homework, but I still have to practice my speech for applied skills. My Chinese work has been going good too!

It's so sunny outside! But I know that it is really really cold. My bother and mom are out buying groceries, and my dad is working. So I am just staying home to finish up my work. Just two more days not including today until school is back on. Then I have to wait until spring break until the next break!

My random thought/statement of the day: Persimmons are very weird and yummy fruits.

Blog Term2 Day41

It's the first day of 2009 and it feels the same. There are no celebrations. Not really. And I can't believe I missed 12 o'clock last night! I had a slight headache and I was studying Mandarin. I think I just got so tired I feel asleep. I can't believe it! I was supposed to do my traditional self-talk about what my goals were for the year, and I missed it. But for some reason, at about 3 am, I woke up for 2 seconds or so and I thought about some of my goals. But I did it half-asleep. The thing is, last year, I thought about my goals in Hong Kong. The year before that, some relatives were over, and I slept in a sleeping bag in my brother's room. (I LOVE sleeping in a sleeping bag, it is sooooo much fun!) Especially in my brother's room because we toss his mini foam soccer ball around and talk to each other until we fall asleep. But this year, I was studying for my Mandarin test. Blah! And guess what? I still need to study more, because I just can't seem to get anything into my head! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED to get a 95 or higher because last Mandarin test, I got a 92! And that was because my ping-yin wasn't clear enough! How poo-ey. But I am determined to get a good mark. :)

My random thought/statement of the day: Have a Happy New Year!
