Aah got the flash mob over with... I've been ripping my hair off with all those times we were taking our hats on and off =.=


Tomorrow's science test basically decides our letter grade (yes it's that big) and I can't seem to stuff anything into my brain right now...

T3B79

Am I allowed to use power point for presenting the movie connections? Most people are using movie makers, but I'm not sure how to present with them. Does power point count as self presenting?

T3B78

OH MY GOSH MY PIANO FINALLY ARRIVED!! I want to try and play it right now but my mom told me not to incase neighbours are in the middle of their afternoon nap... I can't wait to start learning!

T3B77

Well I guess the only good thing about being sick, is that my parents cancelled my violin class tomorrow =]

But I still have to wake up at 7:30 am for the dentist though...

T3B76

I'm pretty sure I'm sick. I can barely breathe through my nose... debating whether I should go to school tomorrow

T3B75

We're going kayaking tomorrow! But I don't know if I should bring my backpack...

T3B74

Sharon and her sister came over to my place to do homework and I managed to finish all four science work sheets during that time =D I'm so proud. Her sister and made us play stratego with her. It was fun though. The first time Sharon trapped her pieces in traps cuz she didn't know she couldn't move traps, and the second time her sister lost... very badly... and her sister started malfunctioning and started jumping and singing around the living room =_= .

T3B73

My mom's making me think about future careers. She says she strongly suggests doctor, but I'm honesty not interested in that. Somebody gave me a book on interior and exterior building designing... that seems more interesting =D I'm gonna start reading that soon.

T3B72

Yesterday I figured out the whole intro of a piano song by myself, including the left hand! I'm so proud ='] It actually sounds good if you asked me (I recorded my playing and listened to it. It actually sounds like legit piano). I'm sorry to say that was the biggest thing accomplished that day... I find piano really addicting, and I think I spent at least three hours fiddling with it...

T3B71

I went to Marpole Community Center today, and played a little bit of Rockband with my friends (I've only played that game once before, but violin skills really help with the guitar part =D). Afterwards, I persuaded three of them to come out and play Frisbee and basketball. Then Sharon came to play badminton, and I joined her while the rest of my friends went to Night Market. And now my arms are sore so I don't think my violin teacher will be really happy after hearing my playing tomorrow...

T3B70

Sharon was supposed to come to my house today to practice a song for buskerfest, and I mentioned that she can get icecream/popisicles at my place... and Edward overheard that part... -___- so he tagged along. So we sat there eating ice cream and I think he found us a little too boring compared to him (which I think it's a good thing because that shows we're normal). After Edward left Sharon started trying the piano part for this song called "Always With Me", some song in a movie called "Spirited Away". It sounds really nice! And I think Jamie and Laurie will be singing, and I'm pretty sure we'll sound really good together =D

T3B69

I'm going on a foods field trip tomorrow for half the day to Grandville Island, so I'll half to be at my friend's house by 8 am. Friday is a district closure and Monday is a holiday =D But theres a project to be completed by tuesday so... I can't slack off!

T3B68

I just watched a film on the effects of meth (a type of drug) on people, and it was just sad... They showed pictures of people before and after they used that drug, and... the changes were unbelievable...

aaand my mom wants me to sleep now so no time to explain the details =[

T3B67

My shoulder started aching after PE today, and I can't really turn my head. It was painful when I practiced violin =[ But then my mom just stuck one of those chinese medicine sticky things on the part where it hurts, so hopefully it's better by morning.

Also, I keep on forgetting to ask sharon and laurie about their piano teachers... a beginner like me needs a good teacher =O maybe writing it on here would make me remember

T3B66

My arms are so sore these days, ever since the track finals on friday. I didn't know running could work your arm muscles...

We bought a piano, and it's going to be delivered on the 28th! I can't wait to start learning =D

T3B65

Yesterday family friends came over to tour our new place. They all bought flowers for some reason, and my mom explained that this means congradulations on moving.... sounds a little weird to me...

T3B64

Today was the track finals! I think I did okay... for my 1500m event anyways. Even though I only got seventh out of 12 people, I improved my time (5:47 minutes)! I got the best time for 1500 I've ever gotten (at least the times I've been timed), and I improved from last year's best time! It's still a ways off from first, but I'm pretty sure if I start training everyday I should at least be able to achieve fourth or third (I got fifth last year).

For 4x400, our team did okay. We still got sixth (out of 8 teams), but our time got worse by 5 seconds =[ It's okay though, we will train harder next year!

T3B63

Gosh there's something with blogger these days. Yesterday I tried to post but it was under maintenance, and I just had trouble logging in today...

Yesterday Judy from synergy 8 tried to pull my leg off before the start of English class (she came into our classroom) because she wanted me to get my badminton racket. I refused to get it, since class was going to start soon, but then she knelt down and grabbed on to my leg and wouldn't let go! T^T other people coming in to the classroom didn't even try to help me, but a few of them started laughing... and sharon just seemed glad Judy wasn't bothering her =___= I managed to get rid of her in the end....

T3B62

I just watched a NOVA video called "Secrets of Stonehenge", and it was very intriguing! It's about archaeologists trying to uncover the history of the giant stone circle in England, and how it's related to astronomy, and as well as death. There's another structure made of wooden stakes that is around two miles away from the Stonehenge, and it represents life, and both circles are connected by the river Avon. It's pretty cool, the way they try to reenact how the people of the stone age would have moved the giant blocks of stone.

I found it astounding that the archaeologists have such great skill! They can simply look at a bunch of rocks and determine what is what! One archaeologist spotted a tiny piece of bone in a pile of pebbles... I'm really interested in archaeology. It's really cool how people can determine the past of a civilization by looking at it's remains. Hmm... maybe I should do more research on this kind of stuff...

T3B61

Today in track we met this grade eight girl who likes to talk... a lot. She is like the equivalent of Jacob except maybe two times worse o.o and I didn't think that was possible before this. She's really good at long distance though =D I saw her run during practice today... she is soo good. If I had her stamina, I would have gotten first in 1500m with no problem.

T3B60

For the movie project... I just realised I haven't watched a lot of movies other than the ones we've watched in class... and the ones I can think of I watched a long time ago. So does that mean I have to spend some time watching movies this month?

T3B59

I earned $20 today =O that was for accompanying some seven year old kid practice violin. I think she just started for a few weeks, but she still can't find the notes by herself, so I have to tell her where to place her finger EVERY single time the note changes... I also have to tell her which string it's supposed to be on -__- She then insisted we take a break in the middle of it, and made me play a board game with her... but I ended the break 10 mins later by making her play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star again =D

The important thing is that this is my first time earning money from someone else and not my parents! I feel so proud... but I don't think I did a very good job guiding that little kid... but I'll learn right?

T3B58

My wifi was inconsistent for the past few days...

Well for track and field, I'm going to the finals for 4x400 and 1500.

Oh and tomorrow, I'm going to help some kid with practicing violin o.o
My violin teacher suggested me going, and the pay is around $20 per hour. I don't think I'm going to do a very good job at teaching anybody so... I feel sorry for the kid I'm going to teach. But I hope that's one energetic kid so I don't have to do all the talking...

T3B57

Today's track meet was... average... our team did pretty well in the 4x400 relay and qualified for finals. But for my individual 100m event, I was about 1 second slower than my normal time, and 2 seconds slower than my fastest time... I knew I didn't make top 8 before the results were out. There were around 30 people competing for 100m! I didn't expect THIS many... Right now my number one goal is to rest up for tomorrow. I'm just going to try my best for 1500m, and as for the 100m relay... well if I'm really close to collapsing by the time I finish 1500, I could always get someone to replace me =]

T3B56

I just gave myself a cut... from an apple.... I didn't even know that was possible.

Tomorrow are the track and field eliminations! I'm both excited and nervous. I'm definitely not as fit as last year so...

I was going to write more but I just noticed the time because my dad just shouted for me to sleep. Hopefully there'll be good results tomorrow!
