I am officially pooped. (I'm not sure if that's a word...) But what I mean is, I am so tired. Even though I slept for slightly more than 9 hours last night, I feel sleepy. Maybe because during the summer time, I would sleep until 11am. Hahahaha. Anyways, I still have some school work to do, so today is going to be a busy day. Mostly because from 1:30-3:30pm today, I'm going somewhere. Usually, that's my homework time, so I had to wake up a little bit earlier so that I could do all my homework in the morning. But that's probably not possible, so I'll do a little bit after dinner. And then I should be done! Am I typing coherently? Cuz my brain seems a little fuzzy. Hahahaha, fuzzy brains! Now that would be a sight to see! A slightly gross sight, but nonetheless, a interesting sight to see. Right now, everyone is going out for dim sum. But I stayed behind. I'm not really a dim sum person. Especially because I had dim sum quite frequently this summer. I used to love dim sum, but now, I'm not too fond of it. Weird huh? Yesterday was the first day of Chinese school. And I stayed at home. Why? Because I graduated from it! Yay me! So I guess that was the very first Saturday morning where I didn't have to wake up early to lug my bum to Chinese school. What an important milestone! But then again, even if I don't enroll in Chinese school anymore, doesn't mean I'm just going to waste all that time! I'm probably going to take another class or take up another sport. As you probably know, I'm on the school field hockey team, so I have that to look forward to. But other than that, nothing else. Well, I'm also going to help volunteer at my Church Saturday nights, so that time is going to be taken up too. So in other words, the only free time I have during Saturday would be the morning. Which I will probably use to do other extracurricular thing. Yay! Okay, I will stop talking (typing) nonstop now. Hmmm, I think it's because I'm hyper. Usually, when this happens it means I'm hyper. Can honey make you hyper? Cuz I just had some honey. Yum!

My random thought/statement of the day: Honey water tastes really good!

Blog Term1 Day4

So as you can see, my first superblog is about my trip to the Vancouver Aquarium. Ever since I was very young, I started to go the Vancouver Aquarium. I think the very first time I went, my mom, dad, brother and I all went as a family trip. I had so much fun then, that I asked my mom if we could go more often. The Vancouver Aquarium is not exactly close to where we live, so we weren't able to go as much as I liked, but still, it was super duper fun when we did get to go.

I also went to the Aquarium as a field trip in elementary school several times, whenever we studied marine biology, so that was totally awesome. The picture on the top there is a Sailfin Snapper. The Sailfin Snapper is such an interesting and exotic fish, and in once upon a time, I did a ppt about it. Come to think about it, the last time I went to the Aquarium was in grade 6, also the year I did my presentation on the Sailfin Snapper. So as you can imagine, quite a long time ago. The Aquarium seemed more magical and amazing as a child, so although I still love it, it's just not the same as going as a child. On this one particular trip, we were able to go inside the Aquarium, but also outside, where the beach was. And that's what made this trip so special. It was the very first time I went to the Vancouver Aquarium's beach. And it sure was a lovely day! It was low tide then, so we got to see all sorts of life under the rocks, on top of the rocks and just everywhere around it. I really had a lot of fun that time, and I hope to go there again sometime soon.

My random thought/statement of the day: I love grapefruit juice, it's one of my favourite flavours!

For this blog, I am going to talk about hippopotamuses. Yep, that's right. Since my username is hippo.luver, I thought I would dedicate my third blog about hippos. I think I first started to like hippos around 2005. That was when I went to the San Diego Zoo with my family. There, we went on a tour and saw many animals living in their natural habitats, or where they might actually live in real life. It's not exactly the same as the wild because, of course, they live in a zoo, but everything was an animal's dream. Lots of free space, lots of water and I just thought that was one of the best places animals could live, if they were not in the wild. (But then again, that was 4 years ago, and a lot could have changed.)

Anyways, when we finally came up to the hippos, I was just so amazed by them. They were so big, dangerous and interesting. And I really really loved their small ears! So finally at the end of the day, we went to the gift shop. And there, I saw the CUTEST HIPPOPOTAMUS STUFFIE IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD! Yes, that deserved all caps lock. So I asked my mom if I could buy that stuffie, and she said yes. So now, 4 years later, I still have my hippo stuffie. And she is just one of the cutest animals I own. (Also why I now love hippos so much!)

My random thought/statement of the day: Go hippos!

Well, today after school, we had our first field hockey practice for this season. I was on the school field hockey team last year, so practically all of my team members are familiar. I think only about 3 people are new to the school team, and I know 2 of them, so that's pretty good. But usually by the end of the season, we are all pretty good friends. That's the good part about school teams. Unfortunately, I already had the opportunity to hurt myself. I smashed my right thumb between my teammate's and my stick. Smooth huh? It's just so typical me though... I always have a tendency to hurt myself so this is no big shock. I really really love field hockey. It's a fun and active sport, so I am really glad that the school has a field hockey team.

Also, today was the day I met all my day 2 teachers. And I must say, I really like all my subjects and all my teachers. Today, I had drama which is one of my favourite courses. I took a term of drama last year, and I really enjoyed it, so I am looking forward to drama for the rest of the year.

My random thought/statement of the day: I'm gonna go and put some ice on my thumb. Cuz it hurts every time I type with it.

Ta-da! My very first blog as a grade 9 student. Is that cool or what? Okay, so it's not that major, but I tend to make a big deal out of everything. That's just me! Today was the actual first day of school. I had math, French, synergy applied skills and finally synergy social studies. Actually, I'm not too crazy about the name "Synergy". I know it fits in with the whole theme of what we learn, but I still like the name Middle Years. It's not just the fact the name Middle Years sounds better, but I just don't like change. So when we had to change the name, I was kinda iffy about it. But I guess in the end, it's all good. Because if I were to pick any other name, I think that name would have suited it the best. Today, I don't have too much homework, but that doesn't mean I don't have any at all. I still have little bits of work to do, but I have made my schedule for tonight. So hopefully, if I stick to the schedule and I don't goof off, I should sleep at around 10:30pm. It's not that I have lots of homework, but I have to do some theory tonight, so that might take a while. One of my goals for grade 9 is to sleep earlier and get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. Of course 9 hours of sleep is much better, but I will try my best.

My random thought/statement of the day: I can't believe I'm in grade 9! I still feel like I'm in grade 8!

Well, the PNE was really fun. Too bad I couldn't have stayed later. In some ways, the PNE and Playland during night time is even better than during daylight. Well, especially Playland. Mostly because they have all these really cool lights radiating off the rides.

So on with what I did today. We arrived at around 11:30am, so the first thing we did was go to the Markeplace. There, we looked around for a bit and then headed over to the Family Theatre to see the Celtic Dancing. I thought that performance was really good. It was obvious the musicians were very talented and same goes for the dancers. I was so amazed at how perfectly insinc everyone was to the beat. When the dancers tap danced, their feet hit the floor in perfect rhythm! Talk about perfection!

Then, we went to the PNE lottery prize home. I just love looking at houses, so whenever I go to the PNE, the prize home is a must-go-to. After admiring the house, we went to have lunch. We had soooooo much junk food! Well, technically, all the food at the PNE is junk, but it all tastes pretty good. I think we ate so much food, you won't even want to read about it!

Okay, so after eating, we went over to the Playland section and played some of those games. We spent about $20 and didn't win one single prize. Big surprise there right? ;) But I kinda had that coming. All those games are rigged so that it is extremely hard to win. After the games, we went back to the PNE area and watched Superdogs! Yay! My favourite show of all time would be Superdogs. It is fun, cute and it really gets you going crazy over the dogs. And... I am sorry to say, but after Superdogs, we walked around for a little bit longer, and then we had to go. The PNE was really fun, and I had an amazing time! I really hope I get to go again next year!

My random thought statement of the day: This year, the PNE was celebrating the 99th year. That means next year would be the 100th year of the PNE!

Guess what? Tomorrow, I'm going to the PNE with my family. Can't wait!

My random thought/statement of the day: I have a LOT of back to school shopping to do this weekend. I need to get: refill paper, white out, a calculator, a new pair of runners, a P.E bag, a CD rack and a new lamp for my desk.
