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!
