Feeling really tired. I actually passed my swimmin level... Catching up on theory... all I can write...

Actually I managed to finish my theory... o.o so tiring... gtg sleep now...

We had track today, and I tried doing long jump. I am really average at long jump, and plus the fact of sand equals me dislike long jump. But I didn't really feel like running today so... (I do admit I was lazy -.-) Apparently you are supposed to measure your steps to make sure you land with your foot right at the edge of the line, with out looking down, which is really hard. So I started, and I stepped a little over the line. So the next time I tried moving a bit back, but I ended up jumping way before the line ==" Well it took me a few tries but I eventually got it =)

There was also a mix up in the sign up sheet for the eliminations. My friend, Moon Young, signed up for the discus eliminations, but didn't appear on the sheet that was placed out side, and me and my friend Alina didn't sign up but got in o.o So we went to ask, and the teacher said, "Well... these were the top three throws, so..." And then Alina let out a "Well that's shocking!" And it was so funny ^-^ One of us had to back out of the eliminations though, to let Moon Young in since she will only have one event if discus was given to us she will only have one event, and each of us has two already. So Alina volunteered to, which was so nice of her ^.^ Today was so fun =DD

I was really worried today because I thought there will be a French test tomorrow, but I didn't know what it was going to be about (because I saw something on the board that said something about a test). But then today I asked some people today and they all didn't know about a test so I decided there wasn't going to be one afterall (the sub didn't mention one either).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Wait. I think there is one. That you can't prepare for. I just read some other people's blog and they will have one too. Today at school I asked someone, about if any body are having some comprehension whatever (that was what I read off the board) and they said they're having one too. And it's some kind of oral exam... Oh well. Since you can't study for it, no worries =)

I still am not really sure how to blazon a shield. Well I state the colour first, and then the divide? And then the charges? But is it dexter first or the object? Ugg... so confusing...

I didn't have time to blog yesterday because I was busy doing a French project -.- And I am sooo tired right now... But I have to blog more. So today in P.E we did long jump and discus. I looove discus C= It's so fun. I want to do discus for the grade 8 outdoor track meet. Long jump.... well I am not that good, but not that bad either. Eh... the average person.

I just went to watch my cousin perform at a church for piano. He's only level, like two or something. Well it was pretty good, but he only performed a song for about ten seconds and bowed and got off, which I found very weird because my songs are now each around 3-5 minutes. Not that I am saying it's bad. It was actually good that he didn't make any mistakes.

I keep on feeling like I've left out something in the homework... And I don't like that. I went to buy a poster board for French, for a project that's due the day after tomorrow!! So very scaarry.

Jamie asked to borrow my dress for the opera, cuz she didn't have one that was, well, good I guess. I let her borrow my black one that I wore to the grad last year. I really dislike dresses, and very much prefer t-shirts and sweat pants. I am going to be wearing a shorter dress, with leggings, because I don't look very good with dresses, especially if the dress doesn't go with pants that will cover most of my legs, which are really scarred from my injuries from figure skating.
So Jamie and I were chatting in the hall way for a while, talking about the funny stuff from yesterday, and congratulate people and other stuff, until my dad asked me to come inside. I thought he told me to go to my room to do some stuff, so I said goodbye to Jamie, and came inside, and my dad was like, oh she's going? I was telling you guys to come chat inside... And I felt so stupid -.- Why were we standing out there the whole time?? Sorry Jamie >.<
And I also remembered the Busker Fest... I like practiced Lean on me for like one day, and didn't bother to look at anything else... And May is approaching, and I still haven't found a group to play with, and violin solos are scary. So I'd better get started!

Track and Field

Oh my gosshhh I am beat. I ran a 1500m race today, and also another 400m. Usually, I am pretty good at the 400m, but after running 1500m, I felt so dazed, I was far from my normal speed... Well the 1500 meters... is way harder than it seemed. Well it seemed not that bad because we run it for PE every time anyways. But when you're racing... well that's a different story. We had to race with the grade nines, and me and Jamie were practically the only grade eights there (i think, cuz the rest of them looked so big). So I started all energetic and stuff, but by the time I finished 3/4 of a lap, I started slowing down. Jamie was a few paces behind me, so I thought she was running the whole time until at the third lap, I saw her on the grassy field with a few people surrounding so I was like ....whah....? I feel pretty good about having to finish the race at all, and I wasn't last :DD. I was third last >< I was going to be second last, but in the end, I picked up my pace and sprinted with the last of my energy... And actually passed someone...
And then I found out Jamie tasted blood in her mouth and felt like fainting, so she couldn't run anymore :( so sad. I wanted her to do the eliminations with me :S

Then we did the 4 by 400m relay, with me, Alina, Moon Young, and Jamie. I was first, and I got the advantage because of the curve because I was in the first lane. But in the middle, I started to reaaally lose speed, and I was sooo tired... And when I passed it to Moon Young, we were like fourth. And then after Moon Young passed it to Alina, she did so well, she got us to first place :DD
And then Alina passed it to Jamie, and in the end we got second :D Not bad for having two people who did the 15o0m in our team. And Laurie's 4 by 400 meter team, got first :DDDDD So happy for them.

Oh great my eyes were giving me grief today. I think it's allergies, but my dad insists it's because of my lack of sleep. They itch SOO much, it's impossible not to rub them. I know it's bad, but it's just torture...... right now, if I touch the corner of my eyes, they would itch like crazy again, so I am trying my best to avoid doing so.

Me and my friend went to watch the play called "The Birds" today. It was pretty funny and all, but some parts are... weird. I found that all those people are reaally good at acting. They really got into it :D And it was really fun to watch. It was about these two people trying to help the birds take over the gods. But it ended, like, kind of suddenly, because they had just manage to make Zeus weak, but I thought Zeus would come back and attack them or something, but it was just over. Oh well it was pretty good.

I am dreaading May! I have a theory test in the middle of May >.< and I am reaaally nervous for some reason. Though I learned violin for like four years already, I don't have much experience with taking music tests. In fact, I have only taken one so far... I skipped a lot of levels, like from 1-6. But this is my first time taking a theory test and I have no idea how it's going to be like.

Phew! The project is over, and now I have time to worry about the other stuff, such as theory. I am also worried that my eyesight is getting low. I can't really see that clearly anymore. My eye degree used to be very low, like 25 for both eyes. Now I have a feeling it's getting closer and closer to 100. I can still see things pretty clearly, but the words on the board in front of the classroom is a little fuzzy... I have to squint a little to see it all sharp-edgy and stuff again. It's sad. I don't want some ugly glasses >.< enough ="="">.> NOOO! I am going to try really hard to get back to normal T^T

oh my god i spent the whole day trying to finish up my english story board... =.= i can barely open my eyes now...

I wanna be a part of the band trip to Victoria >< It sounds like so much fun!!
Well. I came home today and somehow managed to finish a whole week's worth of theory homework :D So happy. Except now I am extremely exhausted from staring at the piece of paper. Also went swimming today. I dunno if I mentioned that I got a cut from high jump in PE class, and it hurt so much yesterday when I took a bath. I actually started stretching in the bath tub, because I propped my foot waaaay up on the wall to avoid contact with water. But sometimes there will be very scary moments when my foot slipped off and I almost hit my head against the wall == And today, my mom still made me go swimming ><><>< Well it didn't hurt that much anymore so it was okay. But she made me put on a bandade (I told my mom it would fall of but...). So when we were swimming our first lap, I started feeling the bandade dangling on and off... And I had to stop to peel it of to avoid having it fall in to the pool...

I dedicated my whole afternoon standing in the rain, running, and studying for the socials test -.- Even now I still am studying for English. I just realised my mind is dead again. Every time if I study at night, my mind is dead. I have to go and find my brain again...

I spent the afternoon (that is excluding my ballet lesson) studying socials, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I mean my brain. I think it somehow just shut itself down. And I am not kidding. I am feeling a little too overwhelmed with info... I think my brain is full. And what really frustrates me is, that I don't know if all my studying payed off, because I have no one to test me, so I am feeling very unsuccessful right now. And my dad made me promise to sleep before 11 pm, so I am really scared about what I am going to do about the socials test... And PLUS we have a track meet tomorrow, so WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH TIME I HAVE TO STUDY???!!!

oops I kind of opened up the window to write the blog, .... but forgot to write it until I decided to glance back at the computer screen two hours later... How stupid.

Oh my god I finished my homework but didn't manage to study for the tests... A veeerryy bad thing. I also have a bunch of theory words to remember.... I hate pressure!!! And yet I sometimes can't help but give myself pressure... by procrastinating -.-

I did another one of the previous math contests for practice today, finished my french homework, and only 1/4 of the homework due on Wednesday........ Why did the teachers always have to give massive amounts of homework all at one time? It's almost like they plan it or something.......

Tomorrow, I have got a mountain of work that's for sure... And a reaaaally big socials test coming soon. It's like, everything we've learned so far about medieval life, like the weaponary, the system, the life on the manor... even extends to Japan feudal society... Oh great... the more I think about it, the more sweaty I am becoming... lol that's how I usually get when I am under a whole lot of pressure. I envy the victoria band trip people. They get to hand in most of their work next Tuesday >.< lucky...

My dad made me practice for the up coming math contest. The first two pages of the previous grade tests (my dad downloaded all of the Gauss contests from the previous years) were super easy and I was done in like ten minutes. But the last page is always killer == The most I could answer was three out of the five questions... The rest my dad helped me... Man I suck. Well I figured out a forth question, but that took me another half an hour...

I made another google sketch-up model of our launcher, but it's kind of hard making a sphere on a tilt if you know what I mean. I tried alot of times, but I eventually gave up and stuck with a ping pong ball that looks like it was partly cut into the bottle cap...

I watched Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and I have to say I was a little disappointed, because they missed out so much in the movie, and added a bunch of stuff that never even got mentioned in the book. I wonder why movies do that... Like the movie didn't even mention Kronos or Clarisse. And after they go to Hades, they had only three pearls, so to get out, one person has to stay. In the movie, Grover volunteered to stay, but in the book, it was Percy's mom that got left behind. And also, the lightning bolt was supposed to appear in Percy's backpack, but it appeared in his shield in the movie. And also, they didn't even mention Ares, who became Percy's enemy. And also... yea you get the idea... It's the same with Harry Potter... The Goblet of Fire disappointed me the most.

I started my science drawing, but didn't really get it. Apparently it's six major features of the ocean, but which six...?

I suddenly had the urge to eat chocolate during the track meet today. So I went home, and after swimming class, my mom finally brought out the box of chocolate someone gave to us, like about a week ago XD

Speaking of track, it was suuuch a waste of time. I mean, we got to the track right after school, cuz we don't want to miss our event, and we waited there until 4:20 to be called to the marshaling place =...= And I was almost late for my swimming class! Me and my mom walk there, and it takes about 20 minutes, not including changing.... So.... I could of finished homework at the track if I knew it was going to take that long!!! And that would've been better than sitting there the whole time... And now, I officially have a cramp, sore hip, and a really sore calf muscle when ever I run ==

It's only ten I but I'm super tired. Well we had so much homework for french, and my poor brain could only remember so much (as I forgot to bring my adgenda that day, and when I got home, I only remembered so much) and so I have forgotten to do some really big homework until sharon asked me for help like about 30 minutes ago. So now I am so thankful......

Since I had some free time today, I decided to do a post on the ping pong project, since SOMEONE didn't do a very good job of keeping it updated...

Well I was doing the science website thingy, and I was watching the video. The question asked "What are the three natural boundaries for the city of Vancouver?" And the person in the video was talking on a helicopter, and he said something like this: "There are mounts in the North, (and something that sounded like rain or drain, which doesn't make sense at all), and the border of the US to the south (which doesn't really make sense either because the border isn't natural o.O) Soooo... I am planning on asking some other people on this matter...

I have learnt not to trust google translate that much today. We are supposed to be looking for photos about our families and describing them. And so, I was going to write: "We were at Alaska" I typed that on google translate, and got something I completely did not understand. So I switched gears and typed in what the traslater showed me and put translate to English. And I got "We are Alaska" And I was like ........................................................... o.o

Thank goodness I didn't write that in...

I finished some homework today, but I still can't find my french text book... very worrying. I tried looking everywhere, and I am going to look in my locker tomorrow. I usually put it there, but I looked for it on friday and it wasn't there... but maybe it's just burried under all that junk like most of my stuff are?? Hopefully... I am sure losing a lot of stuff these days -.-'''

Nothing really happened today. I just went to ballet to do some practicing for the test, then came home and watched some tv with my parents. So... Nothing really to write about.

I am always forgetting to blog early. Well the day before yesterday my cousin's family came to sleep over. It was pretty fun, except I had to go to classes on Saturday, and after I got back, my room was a mess.... and they were all playing my DS -.-" Well today I just did homework and violin and theory, and the usual stuff. Except I realised I lost my mozart question sheet, so I asked someone. And I hope the info I search up on the internet is going to be the same info on the sheet... Just hoping

My uncle's whole family came to sleep over today. I'll write more about it tomorrow.

Still have a stuffy nose... very uncomfortable... going to sleep now... *sniff
