Yawn

I feel really sleepy and depressed right now... I'll blog a long one tomorrow.

Oopsies

Oops forgot to blog yesterday...

I was watching the women's long program figure skating, and Joannie Rochette won a bronze medal for Canada!!! And the awesome figure skater Yuna Kim... well everybody kinda knew she was going to win, but she still put up a spectacular performance! And another one of my favourites, Mao Asada from Japan, won silver! Yuna Kim and Mao Asada have been rivals for a long time. They are almost exactly the same age (20 day difference) and extremely talented... I wish I could skate like them. And Yuna Kim has a Canadian coach (same coach as Joannie Rochette) which makes it even cooler.

Oh ya and the field trip. It was really fun. I got to knit alot, and I finished my fifth scarf. So I started a sixth scarf with the stitch that Vivian taught me. I like knitting for some reason :) But my mom keeps on saying I am wasting my time -_-

Oh ya: and now I officially have the whole set of mascots ^.^

Figure skating

I watched the Olympics ladies single short program today. There were the two awesome female skaters, Mao Asada from Japan, and Yu Na Kim from Korea. They are so good! Good component score, and tremendous flexibility. Joanie Rochette did really good today too :) Her mom just died so it took huge confidence for her to be here today :( She decided to do this for her mum... But she did her best performance this season, which showed her mom was a great momentum... but still really sad... she was crying in the end of her program... too bad her mum could not see her fabulous performance. I hope she wins a medal in the games! Her mum would be real proud, and she will feel much better too. She deserved a gold medal just coming out here today...

Well, going to prepare for tomorrow [:3 <<<--- Quatchi face... kind of... tilt head to the right and you'll see :D

Watched tv and knit

Yay! I saw the live performance of Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir (and by live I mean live on tv) ! It was so fantastic! You should've seen the cute pictures of them together as a kid... it's soooo cute >.< Youngest people to get gold medal in ice dancing, and the first ever olympic gold medal for North America! Amazing! I just saw history made...

I started on my fifth scarf today, and finished my fourth one. No worries :) I spent an hour after school trying to untangle the yarn from the giant lump of gray, and believe me that was not fun... frustrating. I felt like I wanted to tear my hair out when I finally got it all straightened out and found a huge knot in the yarn that I already got out of the tangle -_-" sad.

...

Ya I finished a scarf yesterday, and I am almost finished one today (fourth). So I have one and a quarter more scarves to do. And I was wondering if we had to get all of the teachers to sign the fieldtrip form...
More go stuff ^.^ !

......... wait. I don't know if we have to do it on the blog anymore. I mean I see some other peoples blogs and they don't post their family reflections/extensions, but they still mark it as done. So I don't know.... and plus on extensions lesson 12, it says "no one needs to know but you" so I am not exactly supposed to post that... right? Confused.

Fourth gold medal for Canada :] ... too tired to smile. Making many typing mistakes right now too... Got to get more sleep. My average sleeping time dropped from 10:30 to 11:30...

Family reflections

family reflections lesson 4:

Your point of view (POV): Talk about a family situation in which someone had a limited POV, and discuss what led to the POV shift.

My mom was mad at me because she thought I lost her comb, and I said I haven't touched it at all that week, but she wouldn't listen and said I always lose stuff (which was kind of true). But when she settled down and actually "listened" she understood.

Family reflections lesson 5:

What are your EBA's like with your family? Healthy? Bankrupt? What are small acts of kindness can you do to start making some deposits for each other?

My EBA with my family I would say is pretty healthy. We all get along well, and even though I upset them alot... I still make up for it and it'll all be back to normal. Some acts of kindness I can do for my parents would be to clean after myself and help them with some chores. They can deposit by helping me with the things I don't understand on my homework.

Family reflections lesson 11:

(Question too long for me to type on the computer)

The people who know us would describe our family as a pretty tight family, like we all depend on each other. For example, we depend on my mom to cook, and my dad to escort me to lessons. And they depend on me for some noise and fun in the apartment :D So we fit. If we spend time talking, they would ask me all about school and if I am having trouble. They would basically just talk about my things because they know I don't understand their office stuff. School and marks are important to me, as well as reading, and having fun.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Yea so I decided to catch up on the family reflections (and I will probably do alot of in the following days) because I never really had the time to sit down and talk.
I went to sign up for book test today because I forgot yesterday, and the sheet isn't on there! And Ms.Greskiw isn't here on day twos, so I can't sign up for the last day for book tests!! I am soo sad... My mom is going to start nagging about how I am slacking... She says she doesn't care about what my marks turn out to be, but she cares if it reflects on my attitude towards learning....... which means she still cares about my marks =.= I swear that, in term three, I will make a fresh new start >.< !

Not enough time to write a whole bunch of stuff

I can't find how many people take transit per day in lower mainland! It's so confusing... Maybe I'll just... never mind. I spent the whole day knitting and reading. Now I regret that even though I finished my third scarf. Now I just started on my fourth one... I am sooo slow. According to Mr. Zhuang, we are handing it in on Friday! So I will finish my fourth one this weekend, and I will work on the fifth one during the field trip.

Can't finish...

I am working so hard write now trying to finish a group project >.< and we are still not done!!

Well *sniff sniff* second gold medal for Canada... I'd be happy if I am not bombarded with a bunch of Indian words which I do not know how to pronounce... (powerpoint presentation) And my dad is starting to get annoyed. It's not fair we're presenting first! My friend's group didn't even start yet! It is so not fair... I can't memorise the script! I am doooomed! I realise I have been saying that alot now a days. I am aiming to not to from now on!

Waaahhh

Oh my god I didn't finish the questions in my math contest!!! I am doooomed D,: I am going to faaail. I think this is because I don't have much experience with contests like these... in fact this is my first time... I don't know how to divide my time evenly between questions. I am soooo sad! Oh well. I will do this more often >.<

I watched Patrick Chan, the awesome figure skater of Canada, skate today. He could have done better... He can be REALLY good sometimes. And as a former skater myself, I can tell you how much having a good day and bad day matters. In a bad day, you can barely find your feet! Well he didn't have such a bad day, but he came fifth the last time I checked. So sad... He's just turned 20. He's unstable. Not enough experience in competition. I hope he gets better!

Yay Olympics!

I can't think of anything to write about right now... Oh yea! Alex Bilodeaux won first gold medal on canadian soil for Canada today! He is going to go down in history :D

The Olympics are so awesome! But I was watching it 'till now so my dad's mad at me for not doing my blog earlier. And I also love the song for the Olympics, "I Believe" by Nikki Yanofsky. It's so powerful and has such good meaning... I am afraid that I won't be able to finish my homework tomorrow right now. I don't feel good when ever I leave things untill last minute. Really feel like doing them now but my dad will be soooo angry. Just have to do it all tomorrow I guess. Not good sign. A sign I'm slacking.

Nooo! I am not doing work

I just came back from my uncle's house celebrating Chinese Lunar New Year. We ate at a restaurant and watched this Chinese New Year show until 12:00 am. I meant to finish some homework today but... Oh man I am slacking... I don't want to be a slacker... Ok it's decided I am going to wake up tomorrow and do my science and finish socials. And I am aiming to finish my third scarf! I hope I make it! And tomorrow is Vivian's birthday party! I can't wait!
Tomorrow is Valentines day... doing nothing. I remember when we used to pass out cards in grade three, and I got this whole bunch of batman and barbie cards. Ah the good times...

Opening Ceremony!

I just finished watching the opening ceremony! It was pretty... Everything went quite well until the end. One of the cauldrons that was supposed to be holding the Olympic flame didn't come up. So one of the athletes stood there with nothing to light... It was still pretty though. And Wayne Grezky was the last torch bearer. It was all cool and stuff... I want to be there! And I will be spending the next few days flipping through the channels for figure skating! (And doing homework...)

Scarves

I started my third scarf today and I used a thicker chopstick "needle" (that I sharpened), and I got to one fourth of a metre already! So fast... I think I'll be done it in five days :D Well... maybe more than that. It's not everyday I get to knit like this. It's weird. Everytime I start a new scarf, I want to keep it, as it is the best one I have. But then when I start another one, I think that one is better so I want to keep THAT one. It's weird. I'll make all the scarves and decide in the end. Got to go sleep. Didn't get enough yesterday.

Getting to school...

I helped my friend edit her science fair paragraphs today. Don't feel like writing much cuz my dad has been spazzing at me about practicing one hour of violin per day. Not a good mood. So yea... just thinking about how to get my science fair poster board to school tomorrow. I am going to look kind of stupid walking with a gigantic cardboard in front of me. And what if it's raining? I am going to wake up earlier tomorrow to decide (not sure how the waking up part is going to happen...). I hope it's a sunny day, and I am early enough and found a good position to carry my board, before everybody starts staring at me...

FINISHED!!

Omg omg omg! I just finished my science fair display board! I can't believe it! I am so happy! I finished what I had planned. I knew I could do it! (well sort of... not really. I thought I was going to until our printer kind of broke down and started printing on the green side -_- And I started doing science fair again when my dad came home and fixed it.) Now I can focus on something else... finally...

Can't finish...

Well... I am planning to finish science fair tomorrow... I realise I keep on pushing the due date back. I am determine to finish it tomorrow! >.< After all, I only need to glue things on.

In P.E, we practically spent the whole period taking notes about the components of fitness. I would have liked it to be a little more eventful. I think we are starting weight lifting. Not exactly a favourite, but I would like to test my arm strength! People think I am weak, but I am not what I seem...

Break

I had time to knit today. It's been a long time since I had time to knit, other than in the classroom. I am almost finished my second scarf (only) and I was working on the scarf I am going to keep. My mom told me I was supposed to finish the scarves supposed to be finished first, and I know she's right, but I really want to finish mine too... I gave myself a break today, and I tried making bubble tea with out bubbles. I made milk tea, and blend strawberries and milk together, and shaved ice. It actually tasted pretty good! My dad liked it. I poured it into a wine cup, and looked kind of grand. I should make those more often!

Yay I can plan

My friend's family came over to play today, and they just left. I finished cutting out all of the letters for my title for science fair, and I just need to glue it. I am planning to finish gluing the title today, and maybe finish the whole thing by tomorrow or Monday. I just realised I have been planning! I am so proud of myself... The only problem is that I don't have a white bedsheet to use for the English Greek costume. I wonder if my mom would buy me one. Or I can ask someone else for it. Oh no... I still have to memorize the script. I'll have to plan all over again. I've been too focused on science fair. Not a good thing.

Yawn...

I just came back from a ballet performance (actually I came back two hours ago), and I'm exhausted. I wanted to go see the Choices today, and was planning to until this popped up. I was going to have a fun night... But anyways. I came back and immediately took a bath and started doing my theory which I haven't touched in a week, and my violin class is tomorrow morning. I practiced so less this week because I didn't have time. I am dooomed! And I was planned to finish my science fair today... guess that's not gonna happen -_-

today

I actually managed to finish all that homework, plus a bit of science fair today!

My mom brought more things home from the dollar store today. She bought home two sheaves of purple shiny grain like decoration that I can use for English, and a Hawaiian purple flower wreath, which I fashioned into a Greek-like crown. I am all ready in the costume section! I just need to practice. As for the science fair, I started on the big title, and finished all the subtitles.

I got 74/75 on my gymnastics test! I am so happy! I got full marks in my head stand in to roll, and I didn't need the teacher's help. I also got full marks on my dive roll :D

I slept late yesterday, so I kept on falling asleep in math. Well I was half asleep. I was still listening, but my mind kind of drifted off... I don't know how that works.

tooo much

Oh my so much homework. Shortest blog ever... got to go to sleep... too much projects...
So anyways I 0nly did homewok today and I have got to go to sleep now or else I am going to faint in P.E tomorrow.

....homework....

Yay success!

Today in P.E, we continued testing gymnastics. I decided to test the handstand because I can do it now and I want to get it over with. I actually got full marks! I am so happy! The next thing I am going to work on is the handstant to roll, which I can kind of do right now. I am still scared to do the dive roll though, cause I fell flat on my back twice, and even though I can do it now, I am scared.

For some reason, I still can't find any long wheat-like grass around Churchill. I am getting frustrated! I'm planning to go to school early tomorrow to search again!

handstands

I was practicing handstands against the wall in my apartment today, and I did it twice, held it for ten seconds with out touching the wall! But after that, I can't do it anymore. It is so weird. We have to do two handstands for five seconds for the gymnastics test in P.E, and I can't do it :( But I will practice more >.< !

Oh my god drama tomorrow! I am going to fail! Apparently my friend says it's really hard. And I am failing socials too... what a term.
