You know what? Today was a perfect biking day. It was sunny but not hot, windy by not chilling and the skies were totally cloudless. But guess what. I didn't go. Reason: all my friends either had lessons or something else. So annoying and BLAH! I haven't been biking in the longest time. Long enough that when I finally ride that bike, my legs and bum would be sore afterwards. For like... a day. I miss being active. Riding my bike, playing field hockey, playing badminton, jogging around Langara. Those are a few of my favourite things to do. And it's been a while since I've done any of that stuff. Main reason: Either I'm not allowed to do that by myself or I can't really do it at all. I mean, it's pretty impossible to play badminton or field hockey by oneself...

So instead, I am forced to become a couch potato. Which it's fully bad since I watched Up in the Air which in my opinion was pretty good. Not like "OMG amazing" like Avatar was really close to being. But more like "Nice" both in the acting and then story line. I would give it a rating of 3.5 out of 5.

Well, besides the whole bummer with the biking, today was a pretty awesome day. The fact that it was a short friday and it was such an amazingly SUNNY day helped too. Plus walking home was FUN.

Have a beautiful weekend!

It is such a beautiful spring day.
Nothing can make me happier than the beautiful weather.
Days like these really lift my spirits.
I feel so carefree and happy!
(Well- more carefree if I didn't have math homework...)
But still, it's absolutely beautiful!

Guess what!? The weather is really cool right now! It's cloudy above, but still sunny. The sun comes from a really slanted angle. It's almost sunset. So the sun's rays are shooting sideways and the tress and houses are luminated. But from above, it's not sunny... It's cloudy. The wind seems to be blowing pretty hard too... All the cherry blossom petals are falling from the trees. It's a really beautiful sight. Actually, if I had the ability, I would freeze time right now. It's really bizarre weather... Because of the time change, the sun seems to set a lot later... Which makes me a happy person because if there is anything I like about the seasons, it's the sun still up during the night time. My favourite part about summer (besides no school) is the fact the sun is always up way after dinner. And that leaves lots of time for my brother and me to play badminton, bike etc. I can't wait until summer!

Je suis tres fatigue. En anglais: I am very tired. And I'm blaming that on the time change. Because that means I got an hour less sleep. Which is pretty bad since I only got around 7 hours in the first place. So tonight, I'm planning on sleeping at latest 11. Today, I was so tired. Especially the morning since I'm so used to sleeping in. Ugggg, this always happens after spring break, winter break and summer break. And any other break. Long weekends too... However right now, I just want to sleep. Oh, and read Lord of the Rings numero uno. Actually, I gotta finish up some math I was doing before dinner. Don't you just hate it when you're working on something before dinner. And you're on a roll and everything. But then you have to stop because it's dinner. And after dinner, you just don't want to work on it anymore... Well, thats kinda whats happening now. But I really want to get back to Lord of the Rings so thats my motivator for finishing up my math. Then I can read! No... wait... I have English homework to complete. ARG!

Guess where I went today? My mom, brother and I woke up early (kinda) to go and line up to see the Royal Canadian Mint exhibit. It was pretty intense. The day before, we went and from where we lined up, it was going to take about 4 hours, so we left the line. And this morning, we went to check it out. We got there at around 9:45am. And thought the library was gonna open at 10am. But becuase it's a Sunday, it opened at 12. In other words, the exhibit wasn't going to open it's doors until 12 too. So we lined up. Outside at first, and then they let us into that area inside. You know, the one with the glass roof (we're talking about Central here). And then from there, we waited... and waited. My brother brought his DS and my mum and I brought books to read. But in the end, I didn't get to read much. Mostly because I was super duper tired. Anyways, I won't bore you with details, and skip right to the meat of the story.

So finally, after about a 2 and a half hour wait, we got in. That wasn't too bad considering the fact most people waited longer to get in. We heard from the workers there some people actually waited 5 hours to get in. And when we did finally get in, all the people were like, "Thanks for waiting." and all that. It was pretty cool. So of course, we got to touch the medals, see the making process etc. But not without these white gloves that we got to keep. (Actually, I took some really good pics on my phone. The pics taken with the camera don't show the rest of the exhibit, only the medals... But oh well.)

Blog Term3 Day11 Part II

Here are the pictures as promised! (Part II to my Term3 Day11 blog as stated in the title). Most of these pics were taken at the Northern House, but some- like the first two were taken from inside the streetcar that ran from the Olympic Village to Granville Island. I really like the streetcar, its really nice both inside and out. The last few pics were just ones of downtown. Location: Central branch library. Anyways, enjoy!
