I had such a fun time at the Children's Festival today! Even though I wanted to stay for a longer time, we couldn't because the bus had to leave at a certain time. But the weird thing was, a lot of my friends from different classes were able to stay until 3:00pm. We were also supposed to leave at about 1:45pm so that we would reach the school at about 2:00pm. Unfortunately, 3 people were late, so we had to stand around waiting for them for about 20 minutes. But I don't think that it was those people's fault. There could have been other factors that contributed to this "lateness". When we went there, we went into this huge tent and the performance started. I'm glad there wasn't a super long wait because the seats were kinda hard. Even though practically the whole presentation was in French, I understood some parts (thanks to my French classes). I also really loved the band that played. I could tell that they were very happy with what they were doing and the looked relaxed and well-rehearsed. Even though the music wasn't really my style, I loved it and thought that it was very entertaining.

Tomorrow, I am helping out at my old elementary school's sports day. I am very excited and can't wait. Unfortunately, that means that I have to miss school. It's not that I only live for school and homework (trust me, I don't) but if I miss a day at school, that means a lot of catching up to do. Even though it's just one day, that means 4 periods worth of learning gone. And since the finals are looming ahead (and coming closer) teachers are frantic to finish teaching us everything we need to know for the finals, and trust me, the teachers aren't the only ones who are freaking out. I am so worried, because the finals are a re-cap of everything we learned throughout the whole year, and that is a lot of info! But I guess I should stop freaking out and be happy that I can go and help out. And anyways, I'm just in grade 8, and so I should have as much fun as I can while the homework load is not as heavy.

My random thought/statement of the day: I really like the name Middle Years, but unfortunately, we have to change that name to something else. It's so sad because I never really appreciated how nice the name Middle Years is until now that we have to change it. I just wish that we could keep the name Middle Years, but I know we can't so I hope that whatever name is chosen, it's a really good one. I just don't like change. I'm one of those people who don't like change and whatever change it is, it takes me a long time to adapt to it.

Toddlez!
