I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! GUESS WHAT I DID? LAST NIGHT, I SLEPT AT 10PM! Okay, I know that that line I just typed out was kinda weird, but it was totally true! Last night, I was so tired and since it was a Friday night, I just dropped whatever I was doing and went to bed. I was supposed to practice piano and finish my rudiments, but instead, I just went to bed. I would have done it once I got back home, but I forgot I had a dentist appointment, and after coming back from the dentist's, it was already dinner time! After dinner, I blogged, researched on antimatter, showered, brushed my teeth and then slept. I was supposed to have been in bed by 9:30pm, but then a friend called me and asked for some homework help. So now, here I am in the morning, blogging. It's really amazing what a good night of sleep can offer. But now, that means in the next 2 hours, I have to practice piano and finish my rudiments. And trust me, those chores aren't really the funnest things to do in the morning. But oh well, I still got my 11 hours of sleep! (Something I haven't gotten in a very long time.)

My random thought/statement of the day: Tonight's movie night! YES! Time to bring out the non-buttery popcorn :'( and make a visit to either Blockbusters or Rogers vid.

Slipping Away


i can feel it.
and i want to cry.

When i get up, tired and
go to sleep tired
thats never a
good thing

i'm not sick, just tired
haven't gotten enough sleep and i'm
slipping away
not dying or anything like that, heck no!

i feel like i can, should and would do so much better than i am right now
i used to be amazing in math
now i feel like i need a tutor

english used to be a breeze
now i feel like if i don't step up my game, i won't even get a B

but math! oh math! i just failed a test today
confused, upset... i studied but did i work hard? no...
i did my homework too late at night
it wouldn't sink in. i realize- i deserve it
but when i think back at it, it hurts so much
i'm gonna work harder. much harder.
the whip cracks above my head, my foggy brain put into motion

but i'm already slipping away.
too comfortable, too full and not enough sleep

makes for a person to slip away
away. away. good-bye.

my random thought or statement of the day: i need a good night's sleep. badly.

Aww, darn, I didn't make the school play. I'm both sad and happy. I'm sad because of course, I wanted to be in the school play, and it would have been an awesome experience. I also love acting, so being in the school play would have given me time to practice and rehearse, and know what it's like to be in a play. I take drama, but I'm sure the feeling would be very different. I'm happy because several of my friends or people I know got into the production, and I'm very happy for them. And also because I'm still learning how to manage my time better and I wouldn't want to sleep too late due to rehearsals and stuff like that. If I had gotten in, I would be very happy and proud of myself, but I would also be worrying about my time management too, so in a way, it's a 50/50 thing. So maybe, I can take part of the Spring production. I hope that within that time frame, I will learn how to manage my time better, and sharpen my acting skills. I know I shouldn't take this personally, but not getting into the school play has made me not as confident about my acting skills. I know it shouldn't, but it's really hard to ignore. But I'm pretty sure I'll gain that confidence back soon.

My random thought/statement of the day: I'm really glad the school has a compost system. It was one of my 10by10 goals.

Hmmm, still don't know if I made the school play. Oh well, I'll find out soon enough! Anyways, I'm so happy that I got to take part of "Take Your Kid To Work Day". To tell you the truth, I was waiting for this moment since I started high school. And I must say, it wasn't the best day in the world, but it was definitely an experience I would remember always. And the day didn't even drag by! The time seemed to actually fly, no even more than that, time seemed to go at the speed of a freight train or something. It was amazing. I was tired again, due to lack of sleep, but I only really felt tired once, then, I felt awake and alive again. It was so much fun! I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed every moment of it. I went with my mum, and we arrived there around 8am like we were supposed to. The traffic wasn't crazy or anything, so it all went great. For lunch, we went to this fusion restaurant, and the food was okay, not the best, the service was alright, and I guess overall, I could describe it as your typical restaurant. Not too awesome, but not bad either. I had seafood udon in soup, and my mom got rice with pork chops. Hahaha, my names for the dishes aren't as creative as the ones shown on the menu. The place was quite packed, and it had a very comfortable feeling to it. And after eating, I was very full. Not over-the-top or anything though. I think that this "Take Your Kid To Work Day" day was very successful and I'm really glad this day was invented.

My random thought/statement of the day: I wish we could have "Take Your Kid To Work Day" every year in high school!

I just realized that if the cast list is available tomorrow for the school play, I won't know if I got in or not. But that's okay, I guess I could wait one more day. Plus, it's not confirmed whether it would be out so soon. I want to get in, because that would just be amazing and I love acting, but at the same time, I'm nervous. Plus, being part of the school play takes a lot of dedication and time. But I figured that if there is any time to be part of a school play, why not now? I love acting, and being in high school with drama classes and what not really helps. Back in elementary, we didn't have any drama clubs or anything like that, so there wasn't much to do. Sure, in classes, there was the occasional mini skit that was to be preformed in an assembly, but nothing big. Nothing like what high school has to offer! And in a way, that's good because it just makes high school that much more interesting and anticipated. But once you think about the homework, high school doesn't seem all that exciting anymore. Then again, it's all about the learning experience.

My random thought/statement of the day: I can't believe that Take Your Kid To Work Day is tomorrow. I'm quite excited... besides the fact I have to wake up earlier.

Actually, at the moment, I'm listening to songs as I type this. You know which song? Well, I'm listening to All Star from Shrek 1. However, I'm pretty sure this song is borrowed from a band... Not sure which one it is, but I still really love this song. It's so awesome. One day, I'm gonna learn the lyrics and then sing it everywhere. I do that with a lot of songs. Especially Christmas songs. Whenever the Christmas season is remotely close, I'm all about Christmas songs and spirit and stuff. I just love Christmas. Even all those songs replaying over and over again. And all the repetitive decorations- I just love it all!

Anyways, this blog is gonna be about the auditions I attended after school today! Last year, I kinda wanted to join the school play, but firstly, being new to school is kinda a hard to place to start, plus I wasn't sure if I could manage my time well enough. So now, a year later, here I am auditioning. I've never actually auditioned for anything in my life. I've had maybe 1-2 interviews in my life regarding volunteering or a position for volunteering. In my opinion, I did pretty well in the interviews because I'm not uncomfortable about those things. As for the audition, I didn't know what to expect, so that was a new experience for me. But I take and took drama in school, so I was actually quite familiarized to the warm ups. Plus, it was awesome! First, there were forms to fill out, then we warmed-up, after that, we got into groups of 2-3 and rehearsed a skit for approximately 20 minutes. Then, it was time to show. My group was actually the first to go, which is good and bad. We were all new to auditioning and school plays, but I think we did pretty well. Of course, I hope I get in, but if I don't that's not a big deal either, because I tried my best and like I said, I'm new to this, so even if I don't get in this play, I can always audition for the next one. And then, I'll know what to expect.

My random thought/statement of the day: Tired. Again.

I hope the picture came out right! Well, anyways, this place, I believe is called Bunzen Lake. (Sorry if the spelling is off.) We went there a while back, and I wanted to superblog it right away, but it takes time for the pictures to download off the camera memory stick onto the computer. Plus, my family isn't really all that high tech, including me, so we don't download pics onto the computer too frequently. So as I was saying, on a weekend, we decided to go for an extremely miniature "family vacation". Actually, my parents are quite fond of going to these awesome little trips where we go to different beaches or landmarks or hiking trails etc. Usually, what we do is wake up early, go out for breakfast, and then head out. The car ride is usually around 1-3 hours, depending on where we're going. This trip, took us about an hour and a half to get there. Then, we stopped by the beach, and there also happened to be a small hiking trail, but we didn't really hike because it was actually quite cold and it wasn't sunny. And as you can see from the picture, it was actually quite cloudy. So after hanging out, petting the dogs and walking along the beach, we all filed back into the car and drove home. By the time we got back, it was a bit after lunch time, so we went out, grabbed some lunch and then came back home.

My random thought/statement of the day: Actually, it's been a while since we went on one of these trips.
