I'd bust a move but I'd break a hip.

It's quite hard to dance when you're so exhausted!! I've never been so busy than I was these last couple of weeks. Swimming is exhausting, badminton is exhausting, biology is stupid, physics is death and English is annoying. I'm not being pessimistic this is my point of view from a lack of sleep. Music class is getting annoying too. School is just annoying can't summer come already? Baah. In physics we did a project where we calculated things according to yellow lights, it was really stupid. I blame the ministry of transportation. Baaaah.

Yes, I did use a cat to animate how boring days are lately.. I'm too busy to go out for free time. It's a weird feeling being so busy. My friends plan days to hang out weeks in advanced because of my crazy schedule! Oh how things change in a year. Last year I had so much free time it was crazy and now this year I have none it's unhealthy. I really need to take up playing the cello again! I haven't been playing in oh so long I'm becoming so rusty..

I'm so slack in the morning, I don't really care, I usually end up going to school looking dead. If I have swimming or badminton in the morning and it's just a scramble to make it to class on time I look like this:

At least her skin is nice.

My LUSH is pissing me off.. my products aren't working for me. Well the toner is great I don't like my scrub though.. I'll need to buy a new one soon..

I hate how my hair is after swimming. No matter how long you wash your hair for you still smell like chlorine and if you don't have time afterwards to blow dry your hair it drys really weirdly. Or at least my hair does. I usually put it up in a messy bun... a lot of emphasis on messy.

Though I don't think her hair smells like chlorine.

Also she does have a killer shoulder.

I am a culprit of bad blog postings.. I know I say this in every post but I am really awful for doing this. Also my posts are boring and it sounds like all I do is complain. I'm starting a project, hopefully this will be a success. I'm going to be making my blog posts a lot more interesting. I'll try posting at least twice a week, that's more sufficient than once a month. Hopefully with this upcoming project my blog won't be so boring and maybe I'll actually get some readers. I'll be experimenting with a lot of new things! The best is yet to come! Stay tuned. Also if you haven't already check out my other blog.

The end is near

I hate this time of year. Everything is meshed together, everything is so stressful; where is the time to breathe? I have written 1 exam already, I have 3 more to go. I absolutely hate it.

My chemistry teacher is absolutely disorganized; he’s one of those people who carry on a conversation until the end of time. That doesn’t help when you need his help and you can’t get it from him because he won’t end a conversation with other people. My class is so behind. The final unit of the year he taught us in less than an hour, it was absolute chaos. Six pages filled with chemistry notes and he’s just explaining; it was so irritating. He went too fast for my liking. It really gets under my skin to see other people ahead of my class due to his lack of organizational skills. You’d probably be thinking I would be free from his grasp next year but no, sadly my plans have been thwarted and I must be in his 30AP class and his 35AP class. Oh the joy. Woop. Di. Doo. I don’t even like chemistry, so he needs to stop trying to make me like something I have absolutely no interest in. My grade is perfectly fine, I understand it all, the problem is the class is so disgustingly boring, it drains me of my energy and leaves me in a sour mood. I only have 2 more classes left and I am done.

If a cat hates water can you imagine the hate I have for my social studies class? It’s absolutely stupid and leaves me down right irritated. I don’t care about globalization, I really don’t. Social studies’ is absolutely boring. My teacher is another tale. She is so horrible to even stand. I hate her teaching style it’s unbearable. She is an insanely hard marker. Since when is an 85 a B+? I’ve never heard of a grading system that way. I find the teacher rude and annoying. She also gives such a heavy load of homework. She tells us yesterday that she’ll grade the assignment out of 30 marks; I had a lot of homework last night. I finished everything but I didn’t get to bed until 1:30 am. My teacher goes around and does homework check out of 4 marks. Yes 4 marks. My blood was boiling. I wasted a full night for a stupid class. Really I am done with social studies, it is absolutely stupid and not worth it. I had a teacher who made learning fun but when I go to social it’s like death. I can’t do a thing without getting in trouble, she’s very strict. It’s a good thing that she allows us to sit where we’d like when it comes time to “work” I can sit with my friends and chat. My best friend is in my class and like me, he absolutely dreads social studies class. I can’t fully complain about the class because I made a friend who absolutely cheers me up. We laugh all the time, she is so funny. She and my best friend really make class more enjoyable. My bestfriend also makes the class quite funny. His humour cannot be matched by any other.

Math is too easy. I love the teacher, she explains things so well! The only reason people don’t like her is because they don’t pay attention in her class and blame their failure on her. How lame is that? Losers ☺. Also I am not too keen on the people in my class. Sure there are some nice people but like there are quite a few... ahem bad apples. Haha, did you enjoy my lame joke? Probably not, it did kind of suck.

It’s a good thing that school ends on Tuesday. I’m not looking forward to my next 3 exams but I’ll live. I hope I get the job I applied for and hopefully my NEXT semester will be much better than my first. I hope to keep getting better at my cello and my instruments and if everything goes well vacation in Turkey this summer.

Oh and this post may seem like a bunch of complaints but if you made your way to the end of it you’ll see that I am saying “Happy New Years” to you all .

That’s all.

Long time no see

It's becoming so hard to blog these. I've been flooded with assignments, tests and on top of that I had to prepare for concerts. One may ask where do you possibly find the time? I found some time recently on my long weekend, so here is one of those large updates I told you all I'd write.

3 months of dedication to the saxophone paid off. Last week I played at the Big Band Dinner Dance. It was such a fun night, My feet were killing me though. I had my first solo ever; on top of that, it was an improv solo. When it was my turn, I stood up and I couldn't believe how confident I was ! I didn't mess up, I wasn't nervous at all. It wasn't until I sat down that My hands began to shake, it was so weird !! My solo went great and I'm happy for it :)

Yesterday I had my fall concert. I didn't have a solo, but that's okay. The songs we had were not.. that great. Some I liked but I didn't need a solo for those. I'm excited for the new music we're getting, hopefully it's lively and fun.

I have to start joining strings class on Monday. I'm nervous.. but I've been reassured but my friends who are in that class that everyone is so nice.. Let's hope they're right. I need to practice my cello all weekend.. I also need to study ! Oh the life of a nerd.

Tomorrow I am going to meet with one of my friends who I have not seen in over 5 years! Last I saw her was 4th grade.. 6 years ago ! Wow time flies by, it's nice to know that our friendship was strong enough to last all these years!

Or maybe I'm just optimistic?

School just gets better, I've made some interesting new people that I call my "friends" haha I'm just kidding. They are all so nice, and different. In a good way. I am starting to like chemistry... yes, what has the world come to? It's only because I'm doing so well. If I was doing poorly, then I would say something like "I HATE IT SO MUCH!", but I'm not doing poorly, so I don't have a chance to say that.

There's a basic overview of what happened. I could talk about the nitty gritty but I am falling asleep!

Let's hope my next post will come sooner than later,

Sick in the beginning of school? NOT A GOOD COMBO.

How on Earth did I get sick. This is horrible, it's the beginning of school and I get sick. I have the worst of luck. I have a horrible math teacher, she gives a lot of homework, it's a good thing I understand all the math, she's not very good at teaching...

My chemistry teacher is amazing! I really like how enthusiastic he is! He makes learning fun, and wow do I sound like the biggest geek to hit the planet Earth.

Social class is okay... the teacher is nice, and I have a friend in that class which is nice haha.

It's getting hard to post... I mean I've been doing homework since I got home. I guess being sick is a factor, but if I don't post, then I'll have to make it up... but I have to get better first.

"And you are to hand your homework in everyday"

It's a good thing I did mine then.

Oh the agony

So there are nearly 700 grade 10s in my school. Every class is at maximum capacity. My math class has 40+ kids, so does my social class. In my chem 20 AP class, I'm the only grade 10. In music I have 75+ kids as all the grades come together.

Today was the first "official" day of school. It was okay, I was late for social. This couple were making out int he hallway and I couldn't pass until they were done... urgh.

I only know 1 kid in my social class, which is good, but the majority of the class are rude people, at least those were my first impressions. School is draining my life, I enjoy it, but I really need to manage my time and go to bed earlier.

I need to clean my room... and finish my math homework. Yes we did get homework, but really it's easy.

So the zorbing tickets aren't coming, it's making me really mad. The deadline is sunday, so if they magically appear tomorrow, yea right.

Sleep at school

How was the first day of school? Exhausting. My knee, is horrible, and the elevator is my saviour. Here's how the day went down.

I wake up at 6:30, I don't remember the exact time I left the house. I arrive at school at 7:28. I walk into the school, where is student council meeting? I have no idea. This blonde girl, in PVA danced talked to me, she didnt know where to go either, so we walked down a hallway, oops we were wrong. Blah blah, then we walk back to the foyer and a teacher tells us where to go! The gym.

I go to the gym, blah blah, I didn't help really, I was too tired. I met up with a girl and we sat on the bleachers and just talked. Then it was time for the grade 10s to come so we all set up a welcome line and cheered when they walked in.

I go to my homeroom using the elevator, and wow there aren't many people there. I meet a girl, she's my locker buddy, she's popular, how's this going to work out? She seems pretty nice, but I don't trust people with my stuff.

I finished the scavanger hunt, found Michelle, then she drove me home. Yay.

So I pretty much wrote this vaguely. I slep as soon as I got home, I am exhausted, I wonder if blogging everyday will be possible with how busy I will become. I will try my best but if I can't make do it, I'll have to make it up with some killer posts.

I doubt my zorbing tickets are coming, I'm pissed, I was excited then my excitement was crushed.

Stop breaking my heart

Stero Love - I love the background music much better than the lyrics. I'm trying to find the instrumental for my blog. The blog needs a whole new look. It's too bright, too white. I like the vintage feel, but it's time to try something new. New music, new layout. I'm going to try my best to try fixing it tonight.

Other news, CD arrived in the mail. Going to listen to it over and over again until I know every word, then I'll review it. The band is simply amazing.

So lucky me, having a spare every other day. I'll just finish all my homework in that spare and relax at home. Though french doesn't fit until grade 11, I'm happy with the outcome. This year is going to be great... well I'm hoping. We're just going to have to wait and see.

Speaking of school, must get all my back to school shopping done soon! I go back in 1 week from today. Yes school starts officially for me on Friday, though I am going on Monday for SC (student council), and sept 2 is the un-official. Ahh summer is almost done, but I embrace the future with open arms.

xx

Let's just say, I get my way

Not in a snobby way, I work for it. I earn what I get. I believe that in order to succeed in life, you must work hard at it. What does this have to do with my day, I'm getting there, be patient.

I went to physio today, urgh, they want me to increase the strengthening, it's really tough, but I feel my knee strengthening. If I want to walk up those stairs I'm going to have to strengthen this knee.


So Bertie came over today! I gave her my crappy gift then she surprised me with her AMAZING gift.

See Bertie is my indie friend, don't be fooled, she may be asian but she worships Andrew as do I. Finding a friend who shares the same obsession for indie music and the love for Andrew is hard, so when I found Bertie I knew she was a keeper. Okay so I didn't find Bertie, we just met, same thing.

Anyways, she stayed for two hours and we played scrabble and cheat... but who cares, it's the QUALITY time we spent together. With her making me feel horrible, and making fun of me. I kid, though she did beat me in scrabble. It hurt. haha.

Look at what Bertie made me!

So the bigger one is what Bertie made me, the worn in look is part of the overall process. It's to give it a more indie vintage look. The rainbow one, was made for Pride, not made by Bertie. I like it though, Bertie's friend made it, and now it's mine!

So I really need to buy a new camera, like my picture quality is crap.

My timetable is fixed, sort of. I have a spare every other day, I got my physics class but not my french. I'll just take french in grade 11, then in grade 12 Ill take 30 and AP. Ah, it pays to plan ahead.

When I said I got my way, I said that because, physics is my favorite science class and I got it.

This post is late

I am slacking on my blogging lately. It's just I have nothing interesting to write about.

I got my schedule yesterday, I have a spare every other day and an extra spare in semester 2. They didn't put physics or french in my timetable. My timetable is really messed up because of music. I hope that they put me in the classes I requested, if they don't this will ruin how I planned out my classes. I am to write 4 diplomas in grade 11, I don't think french counts as a diploma. Grade 12 is when I take all the extra AP. I've had bad luck with counsellors, I hope this time they actually try to help me. I know they think they are all mighty and powerful but really, you're a school counsellor and you're supposed to help the students. I am bitter about them because at my last school my guidance counsellor screwed me over. In the end you save yourself right? Well then you see your true colours.

For a kid who doesn't like science, I sure was happy I got into chem 20 AP. When I was in grade nine I did regular english 10, my mark was really high and so was my teacher reccomendation that I got into english 20 AP. Ahh I know I sound like a major nerd, but I'm oh so happy.

Not happy about french and physics. I was looking to taking physics the most, and they better put it in my timetable. I'm not one to go down without a fight. Well I'm a pacifist but that doesn't mean I can't argue my case. Hahah I sound like a lawyer :).

I was the kid in grade 9 who was in a different class than the others. I was the only non-uniform kid in my new classes. So I think I know what I'm talking about. Urgh, just thinking about how I was screwed over makes me mad. But in the end, I won and I'm pretty sure I will again. I don't lose, it's just how it is.

Okay I lose in sports, I'm not good. But just try to beat me in swimming. Try me in about 3 months because my knee isn't healed yet and if we were to compete right now I'd be at a disadvantage and you'd win. Which wouldn't be fair, then again lifes not fair but to be fair wait three months.

Zorbing tickets have YET to come!

Okay I'm going to exercise my knee and ice it.
