There is the Canucks game going on and I think the score is 3-1 Canucks! WE ROCK! GO CANUCKS! YES! Okay, enough of my crazy "caps lock" words. I'm just a little energetic from my 2 hour nap. Today, we had a recognition assembly, and I was recognized for 2 things. One of them, I knew that I was going to be recognized because it was the Honour Roll for term 2. For the Honour Roll, one must retain a 3.5 grade average. I am really proud of my mark, and am glad to be on the Honour Roll. The other reward I got was a surprise to me. It is also a new recognition award. Judging by the description the vice-principal gave, it is a general award for those who are helpful, nice, caring and show leadership. The teachers pass around names and see who deserves the award, and I got it! I am really proud of myself and it feels really good to be recognized.

Tomorrow is also the track and field meet for all grade 8s and I am so excited and cannot wait. I am doing 2 events and they are the 800 meters (I am heat 4, lane 3) and also the co-ed medley. For the medley, we are also heat 4 and lane 3, and I am the second 100 meter runner. I really hope that I can do super duper well and run my fastest.

My random thought/statement of the day: I can't wait until all the field trips that are coming up!

I am so tired today. Mainly because I slept quite late last night. For today, my goal is to sleep early and study lots for my Chinese dictation this week. I really have to study more for my Chinese dictation. Arg! Just thinking about that gives me a small headache.

On the bright side, I can't wait for all those field trips that are planned for May. The first field trip is the one where we go to Playland. I know, it sounds super-duper fun, but it's actually not that awesome. Well, we have to do worksheets... But they shouldn't be too bad because they are all about the rides. So I guess we do the worksheets right after we have done the rides. The worksheets must also be done in partners and my partner is in my same science class, and I am really glad to go with her because we are really close friends. I also wish that we can finish all the worksheets earlier so that we can then go on rides just for fun! I love Playland very much and I have gone there about 2-3 times before.

My random thought/statement of the day: GO PLAYLAND RIDES! (Actually, I love all amusement park rides and especially roller coasters!)

For P.E today, we were practicing for the track and field meet this Friday. For me, my main goal was to practice the passing of batons for the co-ed medley race. I am the second runner and the group, so that mean I run 100 meters. The medley race consists of 4 runners. The first and second runners run 100 meters, the second runner does 200 meters and the last runner does 400 meters. I am glad to be doing the 100 meters because I am also doing the 800 meters later on. 800 meters is technically twice around the track, and although I know I will be very tired, I am happy to do one that is quite challenging. I always like a little challenge and since one of my friends is doing that run too, it makes it a little better. I'm actually not a very fast runner and speed is not my element, and I am much better with super long distances. Like the Langara route. I am still not remotely close to being the fastest runner, but I know my pace and I can jog it the whole way without stopping or going any slower.

My random thought/statement of the day: I like playing the piano and I wish I had more time to practice.

I really like the idea of knitting and watching a movie at the same time. Today, we watched Troy and it was really good. My favourite character is Hector, the eldest son of King Priam of Troy. Unfortunately, he was killed by Achilles and that was really sad. I think that watching a movie while knitting is a good idea because not only do you get to enjoy the movie, but time also flies by and before long, you have finished a lot of the scarf. I was really surprised at how much I did during the movie, and I think I completed about 15 cm. That is actually quite a lot, even though it may not seem like it.

My random thought/statement of the day: This swine disease is starting to scare me... There have been many deaths.

Gah! My finger still hurts, but that's fine because I have rotated between polysporin, band aid and just letting it rest and breathe. Right now, there is nothing on my cut because I am letting it breathe. Other wise, it is going to get swollen and ugly. I also just had an amazingly large lunch and my tummy is about to explode! AH! That really hurt, I just pressed a key really hard with the finger.

Today is such a lovely day and I spent about an hour outside in my backyard just hanging around and relaxing. I wish I could ride my bike around the neighbourhood but I can't because I have 6 tests/quizzes to study for and a major oral presentation. I can just tell that this week is going to very very busy. Plus, I have to start studying for my Chinese dictation.

My random thought/statement of the day: I love eating french fries, but sweet potato fries are even better!

Ouch, I just acquired a really large cut. And now, it sort of hurts to type, but that's too bad. You see, I was cleaning my scissors when the tissue slipped and the long blade ran along my index finger. The cut is not big, but it is really really long. First, my mom guided me in washing it in really cold water while squeezing it. After about a minute, I took a tissue and applied pressure into it to stop the bleeding. And now, after putting on some polysporin, I have put a small bandage over it and am still applying pressure. Okay, now it hurts whenever I type a letter. OUCH! This totally ruins fun night. Before, we were just watching Madagascar 2, and it is hilarious! I just love it so much. I watched Madagascar a long time ago, and I am very happy to see all the old characters with the same voices. I think my favourite character is Gloria, the hippo. But that is totally understandable because I love hippos.

My random thought/statement of the day: I'm not going to type anymore, my index really hurts, and it is fairly hard to type with my middle finger.

Wow, Shakespeare's A Mid Summer Night Dream was amazing! All the actors were very good too. Personally, I love acting, so maybe next year when Chinese school is over, I can audition for a part in a school play. This play was a comedy, and I love comedies. I find them to be a lot more enjoying than tragedies. Mainly because I like happy endings, with nobody dying. Even though tragedies are very beautiful. The play started at 7:00pm and ended at around 9:30pm, so I got back home at around 10:00pm. It took up all of the night, so thank goodness today is a Pro-D day, that leaves me time to finish all my homework that is due tomorrow and on Monday. I actually have a lot of tests on Monday, plus an oral presentation, so I really better get going. So far, I have finished all my math and French that is due tomorrow. (Oh wait, I also have a French quiz tomorrow.) But that is okay, I think the French quiz should be fine!

My random thought/statement of the day: If you haven't seen the play, you have to because it is really good and all of the crew put a lot of effort into it.
