T2Blog25 Freak Out!

Okay so my day started out normal. I woke up late because i slept late the night before. I was reading this new book i bought from the store- when i went christmas shopping. It was an okay book, too easy (i finished reading it today) and the climax came too late....their wasn't much time for the book too end. It felt rushed. I also thought it was too modern.....I mean it even had modern slang in it. Sort of freaky reading the words you say everyday. Too familiar.......While i was reading my book i decided to be a bit healthy and eat some grapes. My dog walked into the room and started smelling around, he could smell the grapes. Suddenly he came up to me and took the grape from my hand! I was tres tres surpriced and also a bit worried. Grapes are very poisonous for dogs. I tried taking it from his mouth but he ate it too fast. So far nothing has happened. After that frightening event, i went online. I talked to Brandon about Pre-IB stuff. You know the form/application thing i was freaking out about before. By the way, thanks for telling me about the IB office. I had no idea there was a such thing as that ....... thought we only had one office didn't know IB had a separate one. Brandon and I talked to Melody about the application. I guess they'll tell us everything at the paretns information night. They should.....It is called parent INFORMATION night. I should stop freaking out......

T2Blog24 Christmas in the air

So today was a happy day filled with Christmas fun. I went Christmas shopping and got presents for my friends. I also looked (actually mu whole family looked) for presents for my other relatives. Christmas is one of those holidays where we meet up and hang out at someone's house until 2 in the morning. Anyways when we came back we put up our christmas tree and decorated it and stuff. My brother even put his stuffed animals on it. That was the second half of the day- after 3pm. Before that i was very lazy. I was sitting around doing nothing. I still have to do my science unit review, i though i left it at home ad i checked everywhere for it, but i can't find it. So i have to redo the whole thing. It's a good thing we get one free pass if we forgot/haven't finished an assignment. I also still have to research stuff for debate,.....i'm terribly nervous about it. I guess once i get started it'll be okay.

T2Blog23 Random day.

So today was a really random day. I woke up and felt sort of horrible.....I think i was sick. WAS sick because after a few hours i felt better. Maybe it was morning sickness......if that happens to regular ppl.........Although it wasn't really morning since i woke up at 12. Maybe that's why i felt sick. Anyways, during that stage of head aches and coughing, i went on the computer and started playing around with some pictures i took. I was completely messing around with them, it's a lot of fun. Maybe next year for my elective i'll take photography. That would be fun......When my hours of sickness passed i was pretty bored. I started looking out the window hoping it would snow. I know that hope is sort of short lived because first of all it was sunny outside and i checked the weather so ......no snow! That's a real downer. I even bought boots especially for the occasion-of snow. This is supossed to be the first day of winter.....it's just not right. Winter is to snow like Christmas is to presents. It must happen!

T2(super)Blog22 Like gum on a shoe

Is it just me or are there more birthday's in the winter than any other season? Or do you just notice birthday's in the winter more because you're buying presents for everyone else anyways? These are the questions that haunt me at night. Or maybe it's the other way around....i can't stop thinking about them so do i haunt them? Anyways, i was lazy today. I woke up and did nothing. Laziness why do you stick to me like gum on a shoe? Later today i went to my grandpa's house because, yes it was his birthday. His birthday just happens to be one day after my mom's. So we went and wished him happy birthday and yeah......I'm not very enthusiastic today......it's the laziness.

Laziness

Ooh Laziness why do you haunt me so?
What have i done to you that makes you make me slow?
We, Laziness and I, are like gum on a shoe
Sticking together until someone decided to separate our tight bonds
But i must confess, oh Laziness, I am not fond (of you)
That is why we must separate, you and I
Like oil and water

That was a poem that came from the top of my head....Anyways i must go bye

T2Blog21 Saturday- Bday's and fun

When christmas time comes so do many birthdays. My mom's birthday was today! I made cookies for her, my brother made her a card, and my dad got her some flowers. We also had cake. It wasn't much of a party, but it's the thought that counts. The cake was wonderful.....very light and .....awesome. I'm going to get a cake just like that for my birthday. Anyways, that was the main event of my day. In the morning i watched TV, and ate stuff. I started baking cookies at 4 and finished them at 6- since i had to cut them into shapes with the cookie cutter it took very long. Yeah.....so that was my day......

T2Blog20 Finally over.......

School is finally over...!!! For 2 weeks at least... Today i'm going to catch up on majorly needed sleep. This past week i have stayed up late on purpose knowing that i would catch up on sleep during the break. So i'm pretty tired right now......Anyways, in english we finish ed watching that movie we started watching.......and in science we had our science unit quiz/test (twiz). After science, in math, we got our tests back. I was nervous because i wanted to get a good mark. On the scantron i got 81% so much better than my last mark= happy! On the other part of the test i don't know what i got because Mr. Chrastowski lost/misplaced/forgot it at home/forgot to write my mark in so i have to write that part of the test again......That's good.....and bad. Good, because i get more time to study, but bad because i have go through the stress of writing a test again. This unit was pretty easy though. Well, math was good, we played chess. In french we did some crosswords and then i just went to the christmas assembly. It wasn't as fun as i'd thought it would be. See you later then......

T2Blog19 Last day before the last day

Thursday....PARTY! Yes, the party was awesome. The movie was sort of random, but still very entertaining. The food, it was awesome, almost to much to hold down actually. I'm going on a sugar strike for the next few days- if i can. Half the day was washed away in a mixture of lethargy-hope that's the correst use of the word- and hyperness. I know it's a total oxymoron, but when the my sugar level died i was lazy, then i ate food and got hyper. The cycle repeated itself every half hour. Anyways, the other half of the day was also fun. We got marked on our square dancing in PE today. In foods it was sort of a catch-up block to do any homework you hadn't done before/had missed. The other half of the day was actually...... sort of educational. After school i went to debate! We were talking about an up-coming tournament that we would be participating in. The topic: The use of physical enhancers in amateur sports. First we analyzed the whole statement. We first thought of what amateur sports really were and then talked about what physical enhancers were. We then thought of points to put in the debate. It was fun....i didn't have many ideas though. I'm still trying to grasp the whole "Debate scenerio". I want to know exactly how to debate before i do anything. I missed the first few meetings so i don't know how to make a good outline. I did some wiki-researching and found "debating" in it. I really want to go, but on the other hand i'm sort of nervous. Not really nervous about the written part itself......just the getting up in front of people and talking part. NEED to get over that. Anyways i need to go brush. By the Way.....PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION. FOR PRE-IB DO WE HAND IN SOME SORT OF PORTFOLIO LIKE WE DID IN MIDDLE YEARS? OR DO WE SIMPLY TAKE THE TEST? THANKs.....bYe.

T2blog18 ..............Mind is blank......

It's another day. Although the fact that winter break is comeing up fast is a reason to make this day special. Another reaons is that i had math test today and.....is there really anything else to say? Anyways, english was awesome, Mr.Hauk knows how to take a break. We started watching this movie, it's very funny. I'm glad he didn't want us doing any homework because i wasn't feeling up to it today. In science we finished playing all our games, including the ones that we made. I thought ou game would have been.....not fun....., but it was actually pretty good--for a monopoly parody. At the end of class we were talked to by this former middle years student. He told us things about the science fair that we should do, tips and such. I think Shania and I are on a good track. We have to finally revise our project-tweek the wobbly parts- and i guess we can start the testing then. I want all the testing done during winter break, or maybe the first week we've been back. This must happen becuase we won't have too much time after that to write everything else. I think the main point is the results though, and how we write out the conclusion. It should go well......Later today, being after lunch, i had my math test. It was pretty good. I feel i did better than the last test i had. And finally...french! We did work, but french was fun so i wasn't too mad about Ms. Ziakos's lack of laziness. It's okay though she'll turn eventually. I must go now....i'm trying to finish this book.....

T2Blog18 Everything is okay.

That video we watched in applied skills was pretty keen. Yes, keen. Whoever thought of that idea, to protest by not protesting, they are very keen. I thought the video was also witty. Everyone knew they were protesting, even the police, but they weren't able to do anything about it because it wasn't actually protesting. They still got in trouble, but the reaction from the crowd was enough to tell the people who wanted them out that the message had crossed. Anyways, three word to some it all up, Keen, Witty, Inspired. Anyways, after applied skills we worked in our last socials class until winter break. We learned more about the French Revolution. No homework. PE was awesome. I wore my crazy Santa hat and got extra points. We danced some new songs, they were all complicated, but my group nailed it, most of the time. So anyways, obviously no homework there. And then there was foods. We baked jelly rolls today. The Jelly Roll didn't turn out well. I didn't even eat mine, it had an after taste of egg. After school i only studied for math. That is all. I really want to get a good mark on the Test. I think next year, in grade 10, i'll take normal math because i don't want it affecting my possible enrolment in IB. Wow this blog was short. A good rest for your eyes i guess.

T2Blog17 Music.

I knew we had to write something about the that song i just didn't know what the topic was. Now that i know i guess i'll just write about it in today's blog. First of all i'd like to say that Bob Marley's songs all seem to have a huge message to them. Or maybe it was just the ones used to the playing for change music videos. This song is about equality. In one verse he says that there will always be war if we still have a lower class and are racial. He also says that war is not the solution.....when he says "killing the country, for no reason". He also refers to the conflicts in Africa. The more you look at it the more messages you find. And the fact that the music video was made by different people around the world, different ethnicities and econimis status's, sort of makes the song have more meaning. The people in the music video aren't being racist or discriminated by their wealth. That's definately not a coincident. I've got a feeling we're going to be listenning to one of the next video's maybe...."Don't Worry". Anyways, today i got some math homework. I didn't get to finish that math homework, but i understood math so that's better than finishing it and not understanding. I studied a lot today for the math test on Wednesday. I also read over some science notes for the science test on Friday. Since i slept a bit late yesturday i slept for 2 hours after school today. When i woke up it was 9 and i couldn't believe i'd actually fallen asleep. Now i'm very wide awake..........I am also going to practice one more time for the applied skills presentation and then i'll probably sleep, or read.

T2Blog16 Science madness!!!

Okay so the day started out fine....happy and fun. I went for my soccer game and it snowed throughout the whole thing. It was so much fun running through the snow. We tied our soccer game by the way. So yeah anytime before 7 i was happy. I finished all my math homework and went to my grandparents house. I ate really sugary cookies too! Anyways after 7 when i went on the computer i realized i had a lot of stuff to work on for Science. There were many things to make and i still haven't finish them all. I'm definitely sleeping after school tomorrow. Need that sleep back!! Anyways i just have to brush and finish off the last of the flashcards and I'm basically done. I'm going to go....need to finish.

T2Blog15 Not Fun

Today is Saturday, and even though i got enough sleep and had a pretty good time. This day lead to tomorrow and tomorrow isn't happy. Yes i am a psychic now. Today was a huge mess with the whole meeting up to work on Science. We were supossed to go to wayne's house, but i didn't have a car so i couldn't get dropped off. I was going to take the bus, but i'm not allowed to take the bus back when it get's dark out. So i was trapped at home.....Instead of meeting at Wayne's house Shania came to my house and Yuchen to Wayne's. Yuchen actually came late and we was at Wayne's house at 5. That was the time Shania left, so we got a lot of stuff done, but we still had a lot to do.....It's not going to be good tomorrow. At least i can hope for some snow. Okay another short blog today....don't worry it'll be longer ....Maybe on Monday?

T2blog14 Last day

I don't know what to write about. Were we supposed to write about that song we heard in applied skills today? I don't really know. It was a really good song. About war.....and how people don't want it anymore. I don't know how that relates to particle physics though. My imagination isn't running today. I really wanted to present my power point today..... I'd better go next week or else .... I've even been practicing, a lot. It would be a waste if i had to wait another week. This is going to be a short blog. I'm quite tired and i'm trying out Sharon's blog writing style. Not working out for me. I have lengthy writing because i tend to go on and on about nothing. I've got much math homework to catch up on and i really have to work on my science game. We're going to be meeting tomorrow at Wayne's house. Hopefully we finish tomorrow. I don't want to stay up late on Sunday....might have to though......

T2Blog13 Let it Snow, Let it snow, Let it snow...

I want it to snow! I really hoped it would snow today, but it didn't Darn! It had better snow tomorrow or else I'll be really disappointed! I want to have a snowball fight......Tomorrow I'm planning on walking to school, and that is the main thing i want to do. I'll also take pictures of the awesome winter wonderland we'd be in for a few hours until people start shoveling it. Anyways today was okay..... I don't think our group presented very well for our english presentation. My voice was too monotonous and dull. Well, that's what i got from the audience, or maybe they were just tired and wanted to get the presentations over with. We were the last group to go. I hope Mr. Hauk will mark easy on the presentation part..... it could really pull our overall mark down. In science we went over things about electricity and basically finished all of chapter 9. I'm going to start on my notes for that on Saturday (Maybe friday if i have the will power). We mainly got our science proposals and worked on our science games in class though. Shania and I did well, extremely well! I think we make a good team. For our science game project i must make the instructions and it is very complicated. I have to work very hard if i want to make thorough insturctions. Since instructions are going to be the basis of how to play the game to the players playing it. Yeah......After lunch was the testing! That was really fun. I already chose all the people who are going to make it, for whatever program their trying out for. The girl in the Santa Hat is going to make it. Christmas spirit! And i just got a vibe from her. Other people looked very overconfident, i'm sad to say that i thought some of them would make it. Even though i don't like people like that... Some people started watching the Television, they will all get in. They weren't overconfident, still nervous, but trying to occupy themselves with something less stressful i guess, since they were done that section. It was a fun 3 hours. I should go now, must wake up early so i can walk in the snow. It had better snow.

T2(super)Blog12 Particle Physics + One Love

+




I didn't really understand what you meant when you said to find the relation between one love and particle physics, i didn't start thinking about it until about half an hour ago. I went on you tube and started listening to one love and then i searched up particle physics online. I have found the relation! One Word. Unification. Unification = Together. In particles Physics the physicists are trying to find Unification of the four forces, in one love they are trying to unify the world and solve problems and such. Which is exactly what the physicists are trying to do. The four forces could be a metaphor for the people on earth, a very good metaphor. At first i was thinking about how particles make up the whole universe and people make up the whole world and we have to work together to make something bigger. Because if you put particles together you create me! Or human beings. If you put human beings together, you hopefully make something better. Like people working together to fund raise for the poor. I think both ideas were really good. It's a good thing i started listening to that song. It's a good song, i was singing it all day. It's definitely stuck in my head. One love.......One heart......Let's get together and Unify the world......lol

T2Blog11 Having Fun

It was a good day today. I am content. Not sad, not mad, not tired. Well maybe a bit tired, but i'm writing my blog at 10:00 so i think that's a great feat. In English, we once again didn't get to present our story. We are definitely going next class. I want to practice before we present-at least once- but Eugene is too lazy, and Mary can't meet after school. I really wanted to though.......Anyways, in science i was also content. It wasn't too crazy and stressing, and i found out that i got an A. All i have to finish in science is my science game. Wayne made a list of things each of us needs to do, i'm in charge of instructions. I also found some pictures of scientific people like Thompson and Rutherford. Math was also very nice. I actually understood what we went over in class! I think this is one of the best Day 2's i've ever had. Mary and I found time to play Go, this game where you have to trap the other persons peices. I wasn't very good, but i still had fun. In french we went over some stuff about sports. We wrote a journal in class, i thought i did pretty well. I can't wait till Thursday, helping out at the testing should be fun. By the way i wanted to remind you to remember to excuse our absense in the attendence. Last time we went on a fieldtrip and i was marked away and the school e-mailed my mom. After school i went to volunteering at sunset. We're close to our winter festival now. If you know any little kids tell them to come to Sunset on Monday the 21st at 6. Only 4 dollars per person! Anyways i should go i want to review math some more. BYe.

T1Blog10 So cold.......

When i woke up this morning it was sooo cold. I was shivering in my room. When i came outside is was like i was in some sort of dry cold place where the wind blows freezing daggers of ice at you. My fingers were completely immobile within 5 minutes of walking outside (after school that is because i didn't walk to school). When i came home after school i figured out that my window was open! I can't believe i left my window open, that's why my room was so cold. I'm still shivering a bit, even though the window is closed. It must be the room that's so cold...... First period, applied skills, was good. I didn't present my power point today! I wasn't exactly ready, but i wanted to get it over with. In social studies Mr.martin told us to write another essay. This wasn't an in class thing though, it's due on Wednesday and most of it is in point form anyways. I think i'm good at finding evidence for the essay, it helps to back statements up. Anyways, PE was awesome. This was definately the best square dancing class i've had all term. In foods we did a lab. We made Latkes. I didn't know what they were until Ms. MConnon showed us our demo. There is an indian dish similar to latckes, except we don't grate the potatoes and it's more spicy. Overall i think this was one of the best days of the term. I didn't do my presentation in applied skills, i had fun in square dancing, i make latkes, and i'm not completely tired. I hope tomorrow is just as good. I just realized that there are only two more weeks left until winter break! I can sleep in again! But ooh noo.....that means the year is almost over........Yikes.

T2(superblog)Blog09 forgot to change terms......

I forgot that is was a new term and that i had to start from 1 on my blogs. Anyways not that that's sorted out, my day was pretty good. I didn't actually have a lot of homework, the biggest thing was the applied skills power point. I was already done, so i revised it a bit more and then practiced presenting it. I think i'm presenting tomorrow, it depends if the people in front of me take long. I don't think they will, presentations have been pretty short, my is only 13 minutes. Today, even though it was sunny, it was cold! If went outside the wind was blowing really hard and the sun was so bright that i couldn't see. On top of the wind blowing in my face i was practically blind during the game. We still played well though. When i came back i didn't go into homework immediately, first i rested and ate some food. At around 3 i started my math and foods homework. I then worked on applied skills. Now i'm writing my blog. It looks like my blog is going to be pretty short......I don't know how to make this blog super......SUPER! How to make it super??? I'll talk about the weather then......I heard it was going to snow, but then the sun comes out and ruins it for me. I wanted it to snow! They said it was going to snow on Wednesday, then Thursday, then Friday! I just checked the weather it's going to be fairly sunny all week long.....why with the sun? I want snow, not sun. Both would be nice, but i'm not picky. In the top of the page are random pictures i thought were cool. They're of past winters in Vancouver.

T1Blog88 Science Game

All i did today was science. I woke up at 9 o'clock first and overheard my parents, actually i didn't over hear them because they were talking to me. They were asking me if i'd eaten anything after soccer, i had, but i didn't know if i'd responded or not. When i woke up i was pretty rested up. Today i went to the library (the one at oakridge) because Wayne, Shania and I were working on our Science game. Yu chen couldn't make it, so it was just the three of us. We were supposed to meet at 4, but Wayne got lost and by the time we started it was more like 4:20. We planned out the rules of the game and it's very complicated. We making a game based on Monopoly, but i don't think we'll finish in time. I really don't want to be staying up late over this game. Maybe i'll put a schedule of what each of us should do so that everyone knows their jobs. It would probably be better. Anyways, by the time i came home it was 6:30 and then i basically chilled out for the rest of the day. I was going to do my homework, or some of it at least, but i didn't feel in the mood. It was one of those days. I still feel sort of lazy. Anyways i have to get up at 8 tomorrow for the soccer game. ByE

T1Blog87 Too sleepy!

Today was a good day i guess. After school i was pretty tired and i didn't get any homework done today, it's my day off. In english our group still didn't present our story! Although it is fun watching other people read out their's i want to get it over with!!! In science we got all the dates for our projects and tests and when they were due/happening. The science game is due on the 14th and the unit test is on the 18th. The unit review, from what i heard, is due sometime next week, but i already finished mine so i'm good. In math we finished off chapter 3 and Mr. C said that we are probably going to have a final test for chapter 3 and 4 before the term ends. I can't wait for that......(being sarcastic). Is there an emoticon for being sarcastic? Anyways, in french we basically listenned the Ms. Ziakos talk about our new unit on sports and stuff. Our next project is going to be about Sports Reporting ans such. It's supossed to tie in with the olympics. Anyways after school Vanessa came over and we worked on our foods project. She stayed till about 6 and after i dropped her off i went straight to soccer. I was sadly late, but at least i came. After soccer i was totally beat. I came back from soccer at 9:30. And at 10:30 i was sitting on the sofa reading my book and i just fell alseep. When i woke up in the middle of the night i realized i hadn't eaten dinner and that i was still on the couch, shivering because i didn't have a blanket. Apparently my parents kept trying to wake me up, and i actually responded, but i think i was talking in my sleep because i don't remember saying anything to them!

T1Blog86 So many things to do

I woke up today, pretty refreshed from the awesome day i had yesterday. I'm glad Wednesday was so good because i wouldn't have lasted if Wednesday had been stress city. Today wasn't tiring before 3, it was after 3 that it got really busy. I had debate after school and when it ended i walked home with my friend who had drama (the one act plays). I got home at around 5:20 and then ate something....I was really hungry. I then rested until my mom came home at 5:45, then i started doing some homework. I started with applied skills, wanting to get the notes over with. I moved on to my science proposal and then worked on the science Unit Review. Everything was due tomorrow! I had enough time to do them, but i was still tired because i walked to and from school, in the cold, i square danced, and i had much homework. Science.....i don't know how i feel about it. Sometimes it's good and pats me on the back, sometimes it's bad and does the opposite.....Anyways, i am very tired now. I'm just going to brush and get to sleep. I'm glad tomorrow if Friday. I'm sleeping for a few hours tomorrow after school. I need to plan out the days my group for the science game will meet, so im going to cut this blog short.

T1blog85 Days are getting shorter, then why do i have more time?

Today i noticed that i had a lot of free time. I even got to go on facebook today! That's a miracle since i haven't been on facebook in a couple of months-maybe sine last year. The only homework i got today was for math. We have a science project- we must make up a game that helps us learn/review everything we learned in the unit. I'm in a group with wayne, yuchen, and shania. We have thought of a great variation to monopoly. We were having some trouble with what we were going to make the money, but i fixed that problem. Now we have to think of other things......Anyways, i was surprised when i came home. I only had math homework! I finished my math homework before 6 o'clock. I also went on facebook, researched some stuff about debate- for debate club since i had no idea what they were talking about because i came later on. I also made a google docs for the science game, they actually do help. If one person goes on even for a little bit everyone is updated when they go on. So convenient....... On top of all that stuff i also read, and i sort of got really into this drawing i was making. I started doodling in the inner cover of my agenda and made this wierd design. It inspired me and i have made a new type of block letter that actually looks nice when i draw it! I was thinking that maybe i could try to draw the cover the agenda this year. It's worth a try. And it will get the creative juices flowing. I don't normally have much time to randomly draw, i forgot how much fun it was. I went to soccer at 8 and came back at around 9:30. I then ate dinner- this is why my blog is written pretty late today. I started reading and lost track of time. My day wasn't a total waste of time, i talked to Vanessa about our foods project, then got some food labels and a kraft dinner macoroni box for out project. Now i'm going to brush and then sleep. BYe!

T1Blog84 Square Dancing

Square Dancing was awesome! After lunch when we were in PE i was so happy we finally got to this part of PE. The only down side is you don't know how often people clean their hands, but i sanitize my hands after PE anyways (swine Flu!). I remembered a lot of the songs and dances we learned last year, too bad we didn't get to dance with the grade 8's. I wanted to get a kick out of them square dancing for the first time. The mapping project was due in socials today. It's a good this i finished all of it yesterday, although mine looks sort of odd because one paragraph is in pen and the other is in computer ink. I hope Mr. Martin doesn't mind. We've immediately begun the next chapter in the book. The french revolution! We aren't going to write an essay for this chapter though- too bad for me. I might actually be good at writing them. In foods we are starting a project where we have to make our own food product label and nutrition label . Vanessa and I are partners and we have chosen to make a Macaroni and cheese box. It's not KD though. We're going to make up a company name and have a mouse mascot sort of thing. One pet peeve that i have, is when you love this companies processed food, and you eat it everyday. You know that it isn't the best choice (like maybe those Ritz cheese crackers), but you know that is has a lot of cheese in it (again referring to the Ritx cheese crackers). Then suddenly they have an add on TV saying "Ritz bitz cheese crackers NOW MADE WITH REAL CHEESE". What was it made of before? They totally decieve you, it not a very nice trick to pull. I am going to keep an eye out for Nutella next. Tomorrow i might see an add saying "Now made with real milk" or "Now made from real cocoa". The injustice!

T1Blog83 Trying to schedule it all out

Today i'm really proud of myself. I wrote out a sort of schedule for the things i would do after school and it turned out pretty good. After school, i came home walked my dog and combed his hair. Then i ate something and started my homework at around 5. From 5-6 i worked on the socials assignment, i typed out the paragraphs i needed to make. From 6-9 i worked on science. I had originally wrote from 6-8, but i didn't finish in time so i just worked through the new episode of House. It wasn't as good- the episode i mean. The shows have lately been more about the drama between House, and Wilson, and Cutty, rather than the patients and doctor stuff itself. And there aren't as many witty retorts from House! Anyways, after i finished science- not all of it though just the C.Y.U's and the Chapter Review- I ate dinner. I was watching another TV show, but i wanted to get my blog over with so here i am typing it out! Tomorrow i'm going to finish all my math homework that was assigned today before my meeting a Sunset. After Sunset- at around 7- i will finish my science flashcards. Tomorrow i'll probably be working until 9:30 on those flashcards so after that i'll just read. And that's also tomorrow's schedule too! Sometimes scheduling doesn't always work out because you don't give yourself enough time to accomplish the task, but i have stretched all the times so i am good. Too bad i only ever get two things done from each subject a day. Today, being Monday, is the only "Free Day" i have. It the one day of the week where i'm not going somewhere after school. Tomorrow is volunteering. On Wdnesday i have soccer practice. ON Thursday i have Debate club and on Friday i have soccer practice again. So the week basically goes by like that. I rely on the weekend to get loads of stuff done, but i get so lazy and end up doing everything on Sunday. I've got to change that. I used to finish all my homework on Friday so that the weekend would be fun and carefree. I wouldn't have to do anything on Saturday or Sunday! This blog is long enough.....that's what i get for writing a blog too early.....

T1Blog82 Gots homework

When i came back home from my grandparents house it was about 4 o'clock. I finished my book and then i went on to finish some homework. First i went on the Google docs to write my notes for Vanessa's and Natalie's presentations. Then i went on Google docs again and wrote in the corrections for the science fair the teacher wanted us to make. I sent the science fair Doc. to Shania- who's my partner. After doing that i finished the worksheets that Ms. Tang had assigned us on Thursday- they took longer than expected. Finally i did my blog. Well i am doing my blog. I still have to finish the notes and C.Y.U and flashcards for science, and i have to type out the paragraph for the socials mapping countries in conflict assignment. I have a feeling i'm going to be getting much homework tomorrow. Definately from science and math, and maybe even some in French. Get ready for a long week Krishtha.......I'm going to read the second book in the series i'm reading now. Take my mind off the tasks at hand......

T1Blog81 Time stands still

Today i was really relaxed. My grandparents house is very quiet and there isn't much to do. It really gives you a lot of time to think about things. I spent the day reading a new book i bought from the store. It isn't in my reading level- i think it's too easy- , but it's a good distraction. I don't want to stress myself out this weekend. It's going to be calm.....and easy......I was supposed to go back home today with my brother, but my parents didn't want to pick us up. The reason i stayed over at their house-actually apartment- is because my parents really need some time to study for their exams. They are both taking these courses and they both have exams in the next few weeks. Since us kids are a lot to handle- i guess- with the amount of stuff to study they decided to leave us at our grandparents house. They really needed the studying time. Anyways, i didn't do anything else today. In a short summary, it was: Wake up, eat, watch TV, Read, Read, Read, then eat, then watch TV, then eat, then read, then sleep.

T1(Super)blog80 Last DAY Of THE WEEK.

When a person is not having fun.....






I'm happy it's a day 1 today. I'm also happy that its the last day of the week and that it's also the last day of basketball!!! Next week we're starting square dancing in PE. Unfortunately we won't be square dancing with grade 8's. It's always funny watching them dance.....of course i wouldn't know since i was in grade 8 last year. Anyways, square dancing is always a great thing in PE. I like that kids can act a bit wild for once, without being yelled at. Once at lunch my friends and I were playing a small game of tag in a corner in the hallway-away from everyone else so we wouldn't disturb anyone- and then a french teacher.....Madam R(something) came out and told us to stop playing games. Quote "You're either in grade 8 or 9 or 10 you shouldn't be playing around like this." It's not a direct quote, but it's close enough. Anyways, i got a vibe from that teacher that she thought we should be studying or something. We didn't tell us to go play outside....or play else where, she said we were acting like kindergartners. Sometimes people need to loosen up and act crazy or else you'll be too stressed out to enjoy life. Where was i going with this? I don't know. Back to the day i had. In foods we learned about the different types of healthy snacks we could be having. In socials we worked on our little mapping countries in conflict assignment and in applied skills we took notes! After school i worked on my own power point for applied skills, it's finished but i need to include the bloomin thingy. So i guess it isn't finished....Now i'm off to my grandparents house, i'm sleeping over there.

T1Blog79 Saved by the Sub!

Saved By the Sub! When a say sub by the way i don't mean a sandwich i mean a substitute teacher. First period today our english projects were due and everyone was freaking out. Today i was actually late for class! In the morning i remembered that i had to print out the book for the presentation and then it took me a bit of time- it was 8:15- by the time i left it was 8:25. When i got to school i didn't even go to my locker i just went straight to english. The sub gave me a warning, but other than that i wasn't in too much trouble. Since we had a substitute, as it turns out, the project-AKA book- wasn't due today. We also didn't have to present or read the whole book out to the class today. Anyways, everyone was relieved. In science we were too loud. Ms. Tang got really mad and then we were assigned a lot of worksheets. I think everyone should start listening to her more. It's hard enough to teach middle years, but when we're not co-operating......yikes i wouldn't want to be in her position. Today it was exceptionally worse. So now i have a lot of worksheets and chapter 8 to finish.

T1blog78 Busy as a Bee, Tired as an olympic runner-running 12 miles

Today has been long. I woke up late, but i walked to school so i was tired before i walked into class. I am so glad you were away today Mr. Olson! Not saying your not a great teacher though, i wanted to work on English during applied skills like we did last time. Mary, Eugene and I finished the rest of the book during first period and after school we just edited and then did the extra stuff! That extra 80 minutes helped a lot, or else all of us would be sleeping for at least an hour longer. Maybe more, since i find that when i write i get distracted by all the things lying around my house. There are so many things to play with, and throw, and eat, and jump on. My house is so distracting! If the TV isn't on, the radio is, if that isn't on, someone is on the phone, if the phone isn't being used my dog is barking, if he's sleeping my brother is playing with his friends, if their not over my brother is making noise for the sake of making noise, if he's also sleeping i'm probably listening to music on my computer. The list goes on....The english project has been the main concern to me lately. Eugene is the one making the book so Mary and I are (at least i think Mary Is) sitting anxiously at our desks waiting for tomorrow. Anyways, in social studies we got our marks! And we also got the whole period to work on that project/homework thingy Mr. Martin assigned us last class. I am done the first part, all i need it country information and some pencil crayons now! Now on with the stuff i really want to talk about. The mark i got in social studies. I think you can tell by my writing that i'm smiling and jumping up and down at my desk. Not Literally. The highest mark was apparently 91, but since Mr.Martin was scaling the marks it was really a 94%. Guess who got that mark.......ME! I think it is mainly because of the essay. I hope we have socials essay's more often. This mark makes up for the math and even english marks. In english i'm getting a B. I think i'm getting a 77%, but i can't remember now. Anyways, that made my day. Next week in PE we're starting square dancing. Yes! I love that part of P.E. In foods we had another lab and my group made Yam Fries. They were.....sweet. I wish we'd put more spices on them.....they were a bit too sweet for my comfort. I think i've written enough for today. This is what happens when you don't care what time it is and you're taking your time.

T1Blog77 Speed Blogging

Welcome to the national championship for speed blogging. Currently i don't know how fast i am typing, but i doubt that it's faster than rachel, because she's fesh at it! Speed Blogging is the art of writing fast blogs when you just don't have the time. Like a few days ago when i needed to finish all my blogs in one day(for 4 days) and i did them all in under half an hour. It's a feat for me since it takes me a while just to write one blog. I'm tired. It's Tuesday and we still haven't finished our english story, tisk tisk, what are we to do. We have, though, finished making the back and front cover of the book. Now all we need to do is write the next 2 chapters and then we're basically done. Man this english project is taking up a lot of my time. Valuable time i need to sleep, and eat, and blog! Maybe tomorrow we'll have a free applied skills block, maybe to work on english? Pretty please.....with chocolate chips on top, cause i don't like cherry's. Anyways today i did many things. In did my speech for english and my french skit. I don't know how english went, some people liked it some people gave constructive critisism. Both i take as good things. French went well as well. I forgot my lines, added new things to the script, forgot that we needed a back pack- in the middle of the presentation- and went over to eugene and asked "Un Sac a Dos?" because we were going to use Eugene's backpack. Yup....Science wasn't the best. We're starting chapter 8 and we had 2 quizes today, both of which i don't think went well because i was so focused on the english project. I should go my eyes are drooping....English, English, English!

T1Blog76 Grey Day

It was raining and it wasn't a happy thing to be walking home in the rain today. I was walking home in the rain today.....I could've gotten a ride, but for the English project we had i needed to take pictures of trees for our front cover. I went around Lagara after school in order to obtain a good setting for the foresty look of the picture. Our group is working in overtime to finish the story. We are in the middle of chapter 7 today. I don't think we're going to finish by tomorrow. We'll be done the other things- like the front and back cover and author bio's- but not the story itself. Why does english have to be first block on Thursday? At lest when it was 3rd block we would have had time to finish our project at lunch. Anyways today was fun. FUN. I played basketball in PE. I worked on the english project during our free block in applied skills. And i studied with Mary for the socials quiz. I took a few notes for socials and started another socials homework assignment by Mr.Martin. He said not to worry about it though, i think he knows our situation about the english project. In foods we learned about how much fat, sodium, sugar, and protein is in fast food foods. I learned that i eat pretty healthy food when i do eat out. I think i should actually be eating a bit more. After school i went to Costco with my mom and bought some groceries. When i came back i finished science, then english and then i Watched HOUSE! It was a great episode. It's more drama than medical info though, not as good as the first few seasons. Anyways i'll see you on Wednesday then. BYE!

T1Blog75 Home + Work = HomeWork

Today i woke at 6am to go to my soccer game. When i came back it was 11am. At 12pm i started finishing off that homework i didn't do. I started with science, i finished my chapter review in front of the TV. I took a break from science then and worked on my french. Winnie and I made a 3D model of the invention we're talking about in our speech. I made it look more colorful and awesome. I also labeled some things that needed to be labeled. After that i made my way back into science, finishing my flashcards for unit 7. It took a while, but i pulled through. At the end of all that science i was relieved to get rid of that burden. I then took a huge break. I practiced my english speech between adds on the Television and after a long day of science and french i really started working on the english story. We are now starting chapter 6. We only have 3 more chapters to go. I think we really can finish if we complete chaoter 6-8 tomorrow and 9-10 on Tuesday. Then We'll have Wednesday to edit it a bit and then we'll have to bind it into a book. I know we're cutting our time slim on the story, but it'll turn out fine. I think. I hope. Anyways that was my day up until now. and by the way this blog took exactly 5 minutes to make.

T1Blog74 Lazy

I didn't get anything done today. Except for studying for socials that is. Before i went to bed, at around 12 i read over the time line of the english civil war and dates around that. We've got a Time-line quiz next class. I think you probably already know that though. Mr. Martin or some other MYer probably told you. I rested today. I made today my resting day. It's a day where i rest. I think it's good to rest sometimes. You shouldn't always be running around and stressing yourself out about stuff. I'm going to think about homework tomorrow. Everything will be done tomorrow. Except for socials because i was feeling nerdy before bed. Since this is the lazy blog. I'm going to cut this short and give you a break too.

T1Blog73 Long week. Again

There are too many things to do. It's a relief just to be in class because i don't have to do any homework, i just have to learn. Today our English oratorical was due and i didn't get to present mine today! Sharon went just before me and i have to go next time now. I wanted to get it over with. English and Science are the major homework bringers lately. Science is always a huge homework bringer, but lately english has caught up to cue. We has two english projects due next week. The oratorical and the english "Mystery" story. The oratorical should be finished by next class. And the story is due on Thursday. My groupd for the story isn't done yet. We're half way there though! I want to finish by tuesday so that we have time to edit and bind the story into a book. I don't think we'll meet that deadline... Right now we've finished up to the 4th chapter and there are going to be 9 chapters in total. Not including the Epilogue. Anyways, enough about english, math is also one of those subject i don't like. I had a sub today and she kept saying "Nice". It got to the point where every response she had to us was "nice". By french class i was completely famished. Winnie and I finished up our write-up for french and now all we have to do is practice the presentation. Well i'm going to go now. Bye!

T1Blog72 Long Day

I woke up at 6am today and didn't get home till 5pm. That's almost 12 hours of doing something! Basketball was in the morning and sadly i didn't make it. Since i stayed after school for debate club- i decided to join, with some suggesting from my mom- i got to look at who made the basketball team early. Or maybe it was after school that the list was posted....I don't know. After school in debate club is was very interesting and there was a lo of information to remember. We learned about rebuttle- or something spelled like that- i didn't really understand since this was my first debate club meeting and i had missed the other things we learned. I'll just search it up online over the weekend i guess. The assembly today was so much fun. I still have that song in my head "I've got a feeling". Mr. Latimer showed us many video's that were awesome and really hit the heart. There was this story about Shayak, this disabled boy, who was allowed to play baseball with these kids and the kids let him do the final hit at bat and win the game. It was a heart felt story. There was also one about this kid who worked really hard to be on the basketball team and was finally allowed to play by the coach- by the way that kid was the team manager- and he scored 6 three pointers! Over 15 points! In the first 2 minutes! He broke the school record! Anyways that was really cool. I should porbably go now i want a lot of sleep today.

T1(super)Blog71 Big Questions. Big Anwers

My great idea for the super blog is to answer a big question. A big question that i liked was "Why are we here in Earth". I guess there are two main answers to that question. One would be Evolution, we evolved from unicellular lifeforms and eventually turned into the humans we are today. BUT where did the unicellular life forms come from in the first place? Could life forms have been made by the Big Bang? Another big question.... If the Big Bang was a huge -silent- explosion of matter then could organisms have been made from the bang? Or were they made later on. If they were made later on how were they made? Something should have made them, or else we wouldn't be here today. If something made them.....where did that something come from? So many questions! Another theory is the subject of "God". People believe there is a "God" who created everything, including human beings. That could be true.....but i guess with all the scientific evidence we have it probably isn't. Of course "God" could have created EVERYTHING even matter and the atoms and EVERYTHING. In which case....both theories could be applicable. We could have evolved.....because God intended us to. Which then pops up the question Is God real? If God isn't real where does that put the billions of people that believe in God? Wow, solving one question pops up 20 more. Obviously the question "Why we are here on Earth" isn't going to be answered by me, but trying to understand it really gets your brain thinking. I've got one last question.... we know we're here on the earth when we live, but what about when we die. Where do we go when we die?

T1Blog70 Spirits are high

My spirits are really high today! Seconds period was a happy time. In socials studies we were given back our essay tests that Mr. Martin marked! Yikes i was dreading it. I didn't think i did well, i mean i worked a lot to make those notes, but during the test i felt i was really confused. I guess i wasn't confused as i thought, because i got 18 1/2 out of 16! I didn't think i could do so well. I would have settled for less....but I'm not complaining. At first i thought it was out of 20 because that made more sense, but Mr. Martin said it was out of 16. So anyways because of that awesome mark my whole day has been going well. I had a PE test today which i think i did well in and for foods i made spaghetti with Vanessa and Denise- i have a good feeling about that lab mark too! The spaghetti itself was pretty good. After school today i finally finished my english oratorical and now i'm going to practice for that and study for math. Hopefully math goes well, as well....

T1Blog69 Il pleut! It's Raining!

Rain Rain go away, come again another day. Something Something something something......I can't remember what to say! I woke up this morning at ten, and went to the mall once again. When i came back it was raining with a roar, and Winnie was waiting at my door! I had to pick my brother up from school, or else she wouldn't have had to wait at Sexsmith school. We worked on our french project and we talked about food. We compared Indian food with Asian food which made me have a hungry mood. We're making an invention that is made out of a box, which we drew before in chalk. Then she left after she ate some chicken and her dad came picking, her up. After she left i finished my math review, while watching House cure a patient recovering from a flu. I'm going to stop talking in rhyme, if you noticed it this time.

T1Blog68 Glad tomorrow isn't school

Yes i am glad that tomorrow i don't have school. First of all I really need to finish my English Oratorical-edit it i mean- , study for the science video quiz, study for the PE test, and study for the foods test. In the morning i got around to studying for PE and Foods, not as much foods as PE though. I went to the mall in the middle of the day and came back just in time for my soccer game. It happened to be raining, a lot, and i got completely soaked. But! I played really well today. After the soccer game i worked a bit on my English Oratorical again and then i studied for science. So far i think i've got a good grasp on English, Social Studies, and Science. I need to work on math, a lot, though. I decided to study for math tomorrow because I'll have more time then. Such a busy weekend.

T1Blog67 Another day of homework

Before i start telling you of the homework i accomplished today I must tell you that i have another idea for my super blog! I didn't think the other idea was that good after all. Today i caught up on some science homework that i thought i should get over with. I made notes up to 7.3 along with the Check your Understanding. I'm glad i got that over with because now i can focus on the English oratorical due on Wednesday. By the way i also wrote my English oratorical today, it needs revising, but the main lay out is done. I remembered that i also had to work on the English Mystery Story due in one week. So far the group I'm in (with Eugene and Mary) haven't gotten very far. We're on the 1st chapter..... Nobody really adds anything to the Google docs. Today I'm hoping on getting a lot of writing done for that. At least make it to the 2nd chapter! Well ...... yeah that was the educational part of my day.....so yeah....

T1(super)Blog66 Not so super.....

My awesome plans for this super blog i was going to write sort of fell apart. I guess I'll have to write it next week. I can't really think of a good super blog to write right now.....my inspiration is low.... I don't know what i'll add to make this blog super. Anyways today was a day 1! Hurray! As you know in applied skills we listened to jimmy and alexander. I was surpriced at myself because i understood everything they said! Because my dad works at BCTC and i went to his work i know how everything in electricity works. And i also know a lot about blackholes because Time Travel is closely related Blackholes. Blackholes may possible be ways to travel backwards into time. I didn't want people to ask questions i didn't know so i read up on all topics related to Time Travel. Those include blackholes, whiteholes, wormholes, general relativity, special relativity, space-time and some other that i can't remember. So yeah i did a lot of research. During socails i spent the whole period racking my brain and writing down anything that came to mind. Why? Because it was out essay test. I didn't know how to write it, it was my first time, so i tried to make it intersting and filled with information. It may have worked out.......Today was our last day in PE for weight lifting! Just 3 weeks of basketball now and then it's on to......SQUARE DANCING~~!!!! Can't wait for that......
I've attatched a song from Youtube that my cousin showed me and i liked a lot. I didn't think the music video was as good as the song, but it's still a cool song.

T1Blog65 Am Tired. Must sleep.

Today, Today, Today. Block Change! First period was english, where we watched "In the Heat of the Night" the movie. It wasn't as interesting as the book and they changed many scenes of the book in the movie. They also changed the name of the victim! Instead of Mantoli it's something along the lines of Cobald, or Cobalt, or Cobra......or Cobla. Anyways in science we stayed in 10 minutes into lunch to finish the video we started. I was deprived of my lunch for 10 minutes. Not good, for a hungry person in science. We also had a quiz which was pretty hard actually. I didn't think quizes could be like that. After lunch i had math. Ugh. We had another "Quiz" but it was really really hard. Even Sharon found it a bit difficult! Without her i probably wouldn't have done well. We got to work in partners you see and we both handed in the same test paper. That's how this quiz was. I must now finish a math review for homerwork. I almost finished today, if it wasn't for the fact that i had to eat dinner. Anyways, in french we worked more on the french project. Winnie and i aren't even close to being finished. There is a lot of stuff to keep track of in the day. I'm glad my applied skills power point isn't due tomorrow. I would be in trouble then. Anyways.....i'm going to sleep now, it's been a long day.

T1Blog64 Remembrance day

I had a huge soccer tournament today so i didn't really get to do any homework. I studied a bit for science, but i had no questions or notes to study from so i basically just read all of chapter 7. Surprisingly enough it shared the same information as the video we watched. So i woke up really early-8 o'clock!- to get to my soccer tournament on time. It went on until 5 and after it my family went to the mall, again. I ate a cinnamon bun! It was the highlight of my day. The sugar.......and fat......and ........sugar.........so delicious. I always have one when i go to metro town. I think its turned into a sort of tradition. Its hard not to forget about it either because once you get close enough you can smell the sweet aroma of the cinnamon bun. I'm going on about that......shouldn't really. When i came home, i studied for science, studied for math, studied for socials, and found a topic for english. I'm going to write my speech on how the teenagers-and adults- blast the volumes of their MP3's way too loud. Eventually it leads to deafness so it's a BAD thing. Although i doubt anyone in the MY class does that they probably know better, but some people seriously don't know that it's bad for their ears. Anyways, i've got to actually write the speech over the weekend not to mention write the english "Mystery" story with eugene and mary. Which reminds me, i've got to make a google docs for that! It going to be a long week ahead.

T1Blog63 11.10.09

I don't know what to write today. Today.....my foods test was post-poned till Monday. I didn't even start studying so that is a stroke of good luck. I've got to study quite a bit over the weekend. I also have to start writing my speech for english and that mystery story for English! I think Eugene has already started, i'll make a google document and have everyone write down their version of the story out there. I don't think we'll get to writing that much. I don't usually write a lot-okay i do- but not under pressure. If i want to write i will, but there can't be any stress.....or else it doesn't work out. Today i also found out that next PE class is our last weight lifting class! We're going to get tested on various things.....I don't actually know what though. Maybe Vanessa will know. In socials we did some notes taking, watched a video and talked a bit. Mr. Martin asked us about "Take Your Kids To Work day" i told him it was eerily quiet. It was. I don't think that's what he was looking for as an answer, but that's what i noticed! My dad didn't give me any work to do---:)
After school i finished some homework then i went to the mall. That was basically my day......

T1Blog62 Disappointed

Yes, i am disappointed. First block really got me down.....We got our marks for the tests and quizzes we've had so far.....It wasn't good. Well actually for someone else it might have been a good mark, but by my standards i don't think it was very good. I got a C+ (more importantly i got 68%). I think i've come into the habit of getting at least 70%, it's my version of a "pass". Looks like i "failed" then. Darn. In the next math test we're going to have I'm going to study a lot more. Hopefully if i get a better mark it'll boost up my percent.....by 2. I'll focus more on math next term a lot more! I sort of messed it up this term. Good thing it's only grade 9. I know now that enriched is hard-er for me and if i want to keep it up then i'll have to work a whole bunch! So anyways, that was a downer to my day. In french i tried to forget about it and it worked for a while, but then i remembered again when i told me friends. Blah..... I shouldn't let it ruin my day......Blah.
In english we got the due date for our "mystery story's" and our speeches. The speeches are going to start being presented on th 18th-same day as my math test. And the story's are going to be due on the 24th. 9 days for the speech and 2 weeks for the story. Yikes. Today i finished my power point for applied skills, except for the bibliography which i'm going to write at the very end because it takes a while to do. I don't want to be writing the bibliography and then after finishing the bibloigraphy, finishing the power point. That sounded odd. In science we had a quiz, agian. We're going to have one every class now. The next one is of this video we watched in class. I'm going to research the things we learned in the video because i have a bad memory. Yup....so my day went by like that. See you tomorrow then, bye!

T1Blog61 Fill in the blanks

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! I can believe that it went by so fast, but i didn't want it to! I'm glad that we have remembrance day off, i have a soccer tournament that day and of course we should have a day off to remember all those people that died.....You sort of have a solemn mood when thinking about it. I still have to finish that big bang articles about time travel. Maybe next month i'll give them the other article i started working on-i want to make it better. I handed the Big Bang article thingy a few hours ago, i hope they'll still accept it. I did work hard on taking all those notes and writing the article in general. I'm currently typing with two pencils erasers. It's a great way to type. You should try it. I think everyone should learn how to type with pencil erasers! Anyways, today i finished some forgotten homework- like the applied skills article- and i also went to the movie theatres to watch a movie! We were going to watch "Where the Wild Things are" but my friends got the date wrong for the movie so we watched "A Christmas Carol" instead. I actually wanted to watch "Where the Wild things are though"! The other movie was good too, funny, i guess, but not very interesting since i know the story for "A Christmas Carol" pretty well. The movie didn't really matter that much though, i just wanted to hang out with my friends- the whole balance your life thing......Like your roles in life.....fullfilling the "Friend" role. Anyways when i came back i did all the stuff i talked about earlier in my blog. I'm going to work on that power point now. Need to meet my deadline.

T1Blog60 Lazy and Candy crazy.

I am once again addicted to my Halloween candy. I think I've had more than 15 pieces of chocolate alone! Just when i thought i was doing so well....I think candy makes me lazy. It definitely slows me down. I wanted to get off the couch and do something productive-like possible the big bang article- but i couldn't! And when i did get up off the couch, it drew me back into it's magnetic grasp. Anyhow, i did a bunch of homework today. I mainly accomplished science and applied skills. For science i revised the flashcards i already made-which by the way weren't due after all! Darn everyone told me they were due.... I also finished a few worksheets Ms. Tang gave us. After that hard task i worked on my applied skills power point. I am 4 slides in so far. Not including the animations of course. I am going to work on them tomorrow as well. So after science and applied skills i worked a bit on social studies. Very little though! I took a few more notes on the English civil war. I really want to do well in social studies- and science and English. Yup that was my educational day. I also finished reading a book i started reading yesturday. Which reminds me that i still need to finish reading Lord of the Rings, the 3rd one though. I'm not certain about passing that book test i had on Friday on the fellowship of the ring. Oh well we'll see.

T1Blog59 Rolling with the punches

The title to today's blog is random. I don't know what i was thinking when i was writing it a few seconds ago. Anyways, i guess today was a good day. In PE we played volleyball-yay! I was surprised by how rusty i was, my first serve wasn't pretty. Since Vanessa, Eugene, and I were all away on Wednesday because of take your kid to work day we missed a lot of notes in Foods. I think i'll probably ask someone next class about the notes. For foods we have a test on friday, and we also have a huge scoails essay test on friday. I have been thinking about something that has been confusing me for a while. When is the applied skills power point due? Isn't it a day 1 on friday, not Thursday? Since the essay test and the foods test i have are both on Friday. Hmmm.... I don't like the schedule for next week. I want to be done the power point this weekend but i think that won't happen. I forgot about how much time it took me to make a power point because i have all the notes, i simply have to type them into the power point. That may take a while, i'm thinking 3 days. So maybe the power point will be done my tuesday and i can start writing was i'm going to say for my presentation on Wednesday. If it's due on Thursday then i'll have time to practice before applied skills and if it's due on Friday i'll have all of Thursday to practice! It all works out i guess. In social studies we learned more about the times during the english civil war. I think Mr.Martin is getting us ready for the essay test since this is our first one. I THINK. Speaking of thinking, i thought of a great super blog next week, but i'm not going to tell you.

T1Blog58 Scientific stuff

Hello there again! I am so glad it is Thursday, tomorrow being Friday you know. I'm going to write a shorter blog today because i want to get more sleep today. This week hasn't been as busy. In fact today i got to rest quite a bit. I made notes on Time travel for applied skills and that's basically it. I think for the applied skills project i am finished the notes and i should probably be starting the power point by the weekend. I also have to brush up a bit more on the English civil war notes-i want to include as much as i can!- since we're allowed to use our notes during the essay test. I was talking to Eugene about the Big Bang article you told us to do, he said it was for bonus points and that we had to write about the topic we were researching on for applied skills. I kind of already started making an story for this other topic-about fungus! Not as gross as you'd think- so i'll just send that it. I don't want to waste the time spent researching for that. Next time you should write in the e-mail what topic we should do because not many people knew about it. Anyways i'll probably be finishing that tomorrow so yeah.....What else did i do today? I finished my math homework, i also did two science quizes in science today. I didn't study as much because i tried studying for both of them at the same time and it sort of drove me off course. My brain was jumbled.....Anyways i'm glad i finished all the flashcards for science when i was sick because now i don't have to write them all this weekend. I only have to add information to them! We have to include the Atomic mass, ion charge, and the atomic number. Okay this is long enough. I'll see you tomorrow then, bye!

T1(super)Blog57 Take your kids to work day

My day was pretty fun. I didn't get to sleep in though. I learned a lot simply in the morning just going to work! My dad takes a bus to the canada line skytrain and from there goes to the downtown city center station. From there he walks about 3 blocks to his work. The wierd part was that on the ride on the skytrain it was quiet. Eerily quiet. I mean it was dead silent except for 2 people talking in the corner and the sound of the moving train. You'd think people would be on their cell phones, or reading, or sneezing, or laughing, or saying "excuse me", but there was none of that. It was awkward when i started talking because everyone suddenly turned my way......They were like zombies. I think they were zoned out (staring into space) for the whole train ride! And my dad was one of them! He said that in the morning people are too busy to talk because they are thinking too much about what they have to do when they go to work, or wherever else they are going. On the skytrain back it wasn't like that at all....but to think 1 skytrain sections filled with about 50 people was silent. That was a huge thing that i noticed.....but i guess it was nothing to do with work. When i got to my dad's work there was a bit more noise, but not as much as i thought there would be. You could still here the sound of the people walking across the hall. Anyways i was introduced to many people....and then i finished my math homework. In my dad's office there was this whole program where there were about 8 kids and they talked to us about BCTC-my dad's work- and how it works. It was very informative. There are some pictures above as you can see. They are of the sub-station we went to near scotia bank theatre. We had a whole tour of the place. I now know what a tranformer is......If there is extra energy running through the circuits-let's say 60 volts- then the tranformer breaks it down into sizes we need instead of using 60 because we don't use that much. I don't know if volts is the correct term ......There are also circuit breakers that send help send the electricity into the grid. Those circuit breakers are attatched to huge wires where they get all their electricity from, those wires are connected to this huge machine that i forgot the name of. And this is all inderground too! I mean you can't see it, it isn't exactly underground, but its in a building that is pretty obscure. The electrical engineer that was showing us around said that if it was above ground-because the conducters are underground- then instead of using wires we could use metals like copper and iron to conduct the electriciy to places. There was so much more stuff that we did......this guy talked about how BCTC and BC hydro is going to help make the Olympics greener by not using huge, loud noisy, energy bombs-as i call it. Instead they are going to take electricity from our main grid, but they've obviously had to make changes. Hmmm.....I learned a lot, but i didn't learn much about my dads job. He's a financial Annaylist. He's one of the people that take care of the money going to and from the company. He also sits in his desk all day. And i happen to know there is a very convenvient food source in the same building-2 floors worth!- that he visits every morning. On top of that they feed their employees food-mainly sweets- during their meetings. Wow this is one huge blog. Well hope you liked a recap of some of my day.

T1Blog56 Being Logical

In my last blog-the one i wrote a few minutes ago- i wrote about ketchup and apples and how i didn't like both of them. The reason for the whole = sign thing is that in english we learned about the 3 different appeals. Logos, pathos, and Ethos. Logos mean logic basically. And Mr. Hauk was showing us examples. Jian Vern made one up saying "Humans breathe oxygen" "Oxygen is a gas" Therefore "Humans breathe gas". That was one that was actually logical. So anyways i was reminded of that and i started using the logical appeal. So....hmmm i'm going to try and make one up on the spot right now. It's harder than i thought........5minutes later......still thinking.....i've got one! It isn't logical though. So..... "Glue is sticky" "Honey is sticky" therefore "glue is honey". that isn't true though. Obviously glue and honey aren't the same or i would wonder why my tea was suddenly not sweet anymore.....Anyways today i did that quiz in science that i missed, but Ms. Tang only gave me the first part so i have ot complete the rest next class. I get to study more!! I got some more math homework from Mr. Chrazaoskoistky? I don't know how to spell his name, i only know how to say it. In english we started reading martin luther kings famous speech "i have a dream" and boy does it have a lot of imagery and metaphor. After school i took it a bit easy and i only managed to take notes for time travel, but its better than nothing. Well now i'm going to read lord of the rings..... i know i haven't finished it yet....

T1Blog55 Catch up, not Ketchup

Hello once again. This font seems different, but i didn't change it.....Mysterious. Today i did a lot of catching up on homework and i also made this rice in foods class which had ketchup in it. I didn't even try it, anything with ketchup isn't good in my books. Ketchup = Apples. By the way i actually don't hate apples entirely, the flavour is fine, but there is something about the way it feels that doesn't seem right when its cooked...or raw. Anyways Ketchup = apples and apples = me no likey. Which mean Ketchup = me no likey. You'll probably understand what i just randomyl did in my next blog when i explain it-because i am writing Monday's blog on Tuesday. Today in applied skills, after my long awaited return i was surprised to find that our bibliography's were due. I was lucky. I only had three books, but my cousin was at the library at the time and she showed me how to write a bibliography. I do know how to write one, but i left all the sheets that show you how to cite it at home-i brought the wrong folder to school! And i don't think anyone is able remember where to put all those comma's and periods-other than my cousin. when i came home today i was already tired, but i still had a long day ahead of me. I had to finish my science chapter stuff-i needed to get it over with-, my math homework, notes on time travel, and my socials notes. Yup.....and i still needed to finish the book we were reading for english-good thing i only had 2 more chapters left. So i was trying to catch up on all the homwork i missed. On top of all of that i have to- well actually i did- make up the science quiz i missed last class tomorrow-which is today.

T1blog54 Blah

I am going to stop writing my blogs for today-even though i still have today's which is Monday's to go. I'll just write two tomorrow then. Right, so, Sunday was better than the rest of the weekend. I finished my flashcards for science, and my math worksheet for math, and nothing for english-only because i didn't have the book with me. Most of the day was focused on finishing off socials, math, and science. I also had another soccer game today, it was later on at 6pm today. I had to be there at 5:15 and the game ended at 7:30 so i spent 2 and a half hours on Sunday for soccer alone! That is a lot of time. I just had to get thinking about it..... Yeah....soo..... Blah! What else did i do on Sunday? I did homework and went to my soccer game and came back and did homework and ate dinner and did homework and brushed and slept. I forgot to mention how irritatin my retainers are. I feel like breaking them with my teeth because they hurt so much. If course if i did that i'd have to pay $500. Alrighty then.......I should go. Good night then.......

T1Blog53 Happy Halloween (achoo!)

Now i am more tired than I was two blogs ago. Darn i don't like the internet-that is when it doesn't work. Happy Halloween! Before i forget. On Saturday i was still feeling sick, but i made myself get up and work my butt off for a few hours so that i wouldn't have to put it all off on Sunday. Science was racking my brain to hard. My head started hurting while making flashcards! Flashcards are the easiest things to make-they take a while, but they're easy- and my head was hurting a lot. I stopped after i was 1/4 of the was done. Right after that i carved two pumpkins my brother got with my remaining strength and then i fell asleep. The doctor said the get a lot of fluids and rest. The basic flu treatment. I woke up at 5 and put on my halloween costume on. There is no way i was going to miss halloween. I went even though i wasn't sure of my condition, but something was just telling me to go. I was right to have gone too! I felt a lot better when i came back from trick-or-treating i think it was the fresh air. I was cooped up in the house for most of 2 days. Halloween this year wasn't as much fun. I was dissapointed at the amount of candy being given. Only about 5-6 people on each block were giving candy out this year!! Not acceptable....

T1Blog52 Another sickly day

Yes, you may have guessed that i didn't go to school today. I needed my rest though, i don't think i would have made it passed first block without passing out. The whole school day part of my day was spent going to a from the doctor and buying medication for my sickness because apparently it wasn't a cold-it was something else. I came home at around 12 and then slept until my brother came home and was watched TV-at 2ish. That was my school day! By that time i e-mailed a few people asking about homework-there was a lot- and i also slept some more. I didn't feel any better until very late in the night when i finished taking notes for the 1st section in chapter 6. I had to finish all the 6.0 notes, flashcards, and C.Y.U's by Tuesday! It may seem like a long time, but i was sick for most of the weekend and i don't just have hours upon hours of time on the weekend. So friday went by in a lot of Kleenex's and sneezes.

T1superblog51 Swine Flu-iness

I am Sick. Well actually i think now-Monday that is- i'm not as sick as i was on thursday, but i think i still may have something. My head is hurting a lot. Anyways today i lot of things happened, but more things were supposed to happen that didn't happen. Confusing..... So On thursday i was supposed to go the the halloween dance, but i wasn't feeling well. Although that's what my mom said i thought i was feeling fine. I guess moms are always right because later on in the day i had a fever of about 100. I was feeling fine though! Best sickness ever, except for the runny nose-that stayed with me till now! I didn't even have a sore throat. So i don't want to write too much because i still have to write 4 more blogs. Before i start my super blog part, which is connected to the whole being sick theme of my next few blogs. The reason i didn't write my blogs till now was, yes i was sick, and-i have bad luck- my internet suddenlt stopped working. My parents called this guy at the computer place and asked him what was wrong, he didn't exactly know. So now we had to get a new modem which only came today. Although we didn't go internet free-because we had dial-up- but i didn't go on the entire weekend because my mom had to work on her course since we only had one computer with internet. So frustrating........ Another thing that wasn't frustrating, but amusing was watching my mom call this docter person and asking them what the syptoms were fo swine flu. I know everything i need to know about swine flu! By the way this is my super blog part. I don't read the school newletters too often so this was new information to me. My mom was asking away and my eyes were closed and i was listening. The symptoms include: Runny/stuffy nose, head ache, sore throat, coughs, and pain in the muscles of your body-or something that feels like pain in your body. My mom asked me stuff like "What is your address" i don't think that was necessary, but i didn't say much. It was a fun little day, i had. Although i wish i had gotten better in time for Friday.

T1Blog50 Tired......

My eyes are drooping, they feel heavy. It's like my eyes lids are magnets attracting the upper eyelid to the lower one. Wow what a vivid image.....The reason i'm tired is that i've had a long day. First of all it was a Day 2, which is long enough as it is, but on top of that i got a lot of homework-which makes me yawn just thinking about it- and i had soccer practice today. That made it completely impossible for me to get any of today's homework done. I simple took notes on the socials "English Civil War" because i hadn't been doing that for a while. There is a science quiz next class, also a time line due, and science notes for all of chapter six. Not to mention a socials quiz tomorrow and the socials notes and the socials test-essay test!- i should review my notes for-when i finish making them. I also have some math homework which i haven't started yet. Yikes.....no time. Tomorrow is the Halloween dance and i'm going to go to that so i won't have the entire day to finish homework, but i'm hoping to at least get science and math done. Hopefully. I think i'll simple leave weekends for the research and development stuff. Things like the science fair, the applied skills project and taking notes for science. I think i'm going to cut this blog short. I feel sort of cold since i had soccer practice in the rain, but it was fun. Once i got inside i realized how cold i really was though!

T1Blog49 I don't like apples.

I know this is strange, but i don't like apples. It get's a bit stranger than that though. You see, in my last blog i was very excited to do my APPLE STRUDEL lab. What i forgot to mention was that i don't like apples. I know they're supposed to be good for you and everything, but i don't like the taste. The apples were even worse in the apple strudel because they were cooked-yuck! My friends made me try some of my own apple strudel-the dough was fine- the apple was so gross that i almost spit it back out! My disgust for apples is very wide range. I don't like apples in general, apple pie, apple strudel, candy apples, apples with caramel, apples in a salad. However, i do like apple drinks. Apple cider, apple juice.....what else is there? Anyways enough with my issues with apples i'll go on about my day now. The only important thing-i think- in P.E. was that i brought my scarf to it. It was fun hitting Alexander with it-all in good fun of course. And you know about my apple lab. For the research we did in applied skills, it was hard to find a book on time travel. There was only one chapter in one book about it. I took out two books, i'll probably take notes over the weekend then take more books out. When is the project due? Hopefully later rather than sooner. There are so many things to keep track of! Anyways, i was going to say something but i forgot. I got lost in thought about something or another. I think i was going to tell you about something i did after school....hmmm.... I went to volunteering at sunset...then i came home and tried to take notes for socials.... I don't think i did any homework today. Maybe that was it. Tomorrow i have to finish my second source for my socials notes and also start on my science notes-hopefully- and research about Time travel. After that i must basically study and that's it! Well i must go. I have to finish lord of the rings By Friday!!!

T1Blog49 No comment.

I don't know how to sum the day up into one little phrase, so i wrote "No Comment". I'm actually more excited for tomorrow than i was for today. Instead of the voting quiz we were going to have for science, we had a real science quiz! I did study-the flashcards helped a lot- , but i wanted to study a lot more. The quiz wasn't that hard, but on some questions i was confused about because Ms. Tangs wording was quite tricky. Instead of putting "temperature from liquid to gas" she put "Temperature for condensation" (the answer was boiling point). If you read the text book-which i did- it said that the boiling point was the temperature at which liquid turns to gas, but also when gas turns to liquid again-weird i know. So since condensation is when gas turns to liquid then it should also be boiling point. Right? I just confused myself a lot. Confusion is hard to deal with. Speaking of hard, the school year is beginning to get pretty hard. Math, French, English, and Science happen to be in the same day-and they are pretty difficult subjects. Although i like english and science-only because in class we have so much fun.
I just remembered two things i had to tell you. One is that email you sent the (Synergy)....MYER gang that said something about writing an article for the big bang. Are we supposed to do that? Do we have a choice? If we don't have a choice then the big bang will be pretty thick in the next volume. Do i have to write my real name? Anyways that was one of the things i had to tell you. Secondly, i have a dentist appointment on Thursday so i'll probably be missing class- or most of it- that day. I'll give you a note on Thursday......or tomorrow if i remember. I'm finally getting my braces off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You can sense my enthusiasm.

T1Blog48 As MYer's would say "Fail"

Today was a soccer day. I though we would actually win....but sadly....that didn't happen. It was raining so hard and the wind was blowing wildly and i was cold-very cold- but i still thought we could win! We did well the first half- 0-0 - but when the seconds half started it was like all life was sucked from us. Everyone was tired and cold and just feeling crumby. I guess the first half took a lot from us. Sad......very sad.....Although our coaches kept saying "this was the best game this season" i don't think many of our spirits were lifted. I do think we played well today.

Ooh well, it's in the past now. After the game i was very cold, but i didn't go home immediately. My parents went to Costco to buy some groceries and i came along, shivering. When we finally came home it was around 6:30 and i-after a shower- immediately set off the task at hand-homework. I first finished typing out my English character story. Then i spent a whole hour writing out my science proposal with Shania. It was easier than i thought, although maybe that was because i had Shania's help. Anyways after that started writing my blog. And here i am writing my blog. I should go now i have to finish the voting cards-cards with the letters A,B,C, and D written on them- before i go to bed.

T1Blog47 Homework, Homework, Homework.........

I know i shouldn't have left all this homework till Saturday and Sunday, but what could i do? I needed my sleep. I shouldn't make excuses though. It's all my fault!!!!!!!!! I'm not actually that upset though. I wonder when the school play is going to start, I must start acting! Anyways....back the the blog. Yes, i left everything till today. Well today and tomorrow. I decided-a very bad decision on my part-to do my homework in front of the TV. Not good. I would start shaking my finger at myself saying "Tisk Tisk, when will you learn" if i weren't so busy writing this blog. I realized that watching TV slows down the person doing homework by .....well.....a lot! Maybe i'll do a science fair project on that. Who knows. Anyways the observation of myself doing that would be "write about half a line on the paper, then watch ten minutes of TV. Return back to the paper. Watch TV. During adds quickly finish half the homework assigned-if possible. Then move on to other homework". Watching TV isn't good, not when your doing it all day. Although i managed to finish a lot, in 12 hours time! At the very end of my day i read more of the lord of the rings book and then i basically fell asleep. And that was my very boring day! opp's i just dropped my cell phone.......

T1Blog46 Singing in the Rain!

Last year i mentioned a day, somewhat like today, i called it "the Grey Day". You might not remember, but today was such a day. However, i didn't sit around a watch TV all day, like you may have thought- if you remember the Grey day description. Today my friends invited me to her house for a sort of "party" thing. Well it turned into a party when everyone got there. So from 2 to about 6 i was partying it up with my friends! A great way to relax if you ask me. After that i was going to go to soccer practice, but because of the rain my soccer coach canceled the practice. Normally that wouldn't happen though, even if there was pouring rain! I was totally fine with that though, i really didn't want to run in the rain today. Now that i think of it i didn't do anything else today. For the rest of the day i simply read my lord of the rings book. Actually it's more like i started reading the book. I want to finish it over the weekend, but i don't think that'll happen. ........................................................................................................................................................................
Awkward Silence! Although it's only awkward when someone says it's awkward. And if someone points out that it's awkward because they said it's awkward then its just funny. Hmmmm......strange.....and random. Anyways, i don't know why this blog is called "Singing in the Rain" no singing was done in the rain. Actually no singing was done at all!

T1(Super)Blog45 TGIT- Thank god its Thursday!

View from soccer field:






Thursday! The final day! I'm so glad it's today! I have the whole weekend-and all of friday and part of Thursday- to rest and do that homework. There is seriously a lot of homework to complete. Science and socials dominate this weekend though. Hopefully the situation won't be the same next week! I don't want to worry about homework on Halloween. This is probably one of the last times I'm going trick or treating! Did i mention i'm getting my braces off next week? Right before Halloween, it's perfect. I'm too excited, but homework will ruin that excitement.

What did i do today? Well weight lifting was one of the first things. Ever since i started weight lifting in PE my arms have been hurting like ....i got a thousand shots-HPV Shots- on them! I can't wait till gymnastics....and square dancing! And i can't forget that after all of that we're finally doing volleyball in PE. This is one good year for PE. Hopefully next year is just as good. Anyways, my love for PE is evident, so is my love for cooking and of course applied skills. That movie was awesome! I'm going to read the book now. On Monday i'm going to go to the library and check it out. In socials we finished the presentations and started learning more about the English Civil war. Actually we bascially got assigned ten things we had to find out about the government in england. I haven't started that yet. Today i went to my grandparents house and on the way there i took some awesome pictures. Can you guess where i was when i took those pictures? Anyways those pictures are on my blog today. Hope you like them!
