Nervous Breakdown before a Test

Today, I was so nervous for my interview and I forgot a lot of things that I should have said to promote myself. I need to get myself calmer somehow or I should get more practice. After that, I had a quiz from accounting. I had filled in the first answer right but after that, I felt that I was wrong and had changed it. When I finished the test, I was like the last person done. I went to check the textbook and I found out that it was wrong. What a bummer, I need to find a way to remember the topics well.

Good Rest

Today I woke up after 12 hours of sleep at 9:30am. I had to wake up this early to bike to school to retrieve one of my homework that I had forgotten to bring. When I arrived, I saw a bunch of kids standing in the front entrance appearing to be waiting for something. I had walked over and eavesdropped to find out that today, there should be a basketball class. I was here to get my homework and hurried away to find a door that was not locked. Today was Sunday and schools should not have their doors unlocked. I did not think the front doors were unlocked so I walked all around the school to find that all the doors were locked. I decided to try the front doors before I leave and to my surprise it opened magically somehow. I instantly went in to get my homework and popped outside to go back home. After I got home, started on my homework and watched some chinese drama that I randomly flipped to from my remote control. It was called My family (甜孫爺爺). As I was watching it, I did not understand what was going on because it was my first time watching this drama. It was about a wedding that was going to take place. The ex-boyfriend was invited to the wedding and he had accepted the offer. The bride who had invited the ex-boyfriend was marrying to a really fat man. At the wedding, as the groom talks to the ex-boyfriend about how lucky he was not in his place because the bride had spent 4 million dollars in a month. He could not take it and was in tears. As they were being pronounced a couple, the ex-boyfriend was clapping and was really happy. The audience were wondering why the ex-boyfriend was so happy. One of the reporters came over and asked who he was, he said he was the bride's ex-boyfriend and that he was really happy that the groom was marrying the bride. The groom was like I am not, I regret making this decision. The bride was mad and pushed him down along with the wedding cake that was beside them. The cake splatter all over the audience and a food fight occurred. That was the end until next sunday.

Double Bowling Day

This has by-far been a very great start to my weekend although it's not the long weekend. On Friday, after my two tests, Math and Chem (did really bad on it...) it was the start of a good weekend for me. After school, I went to the last day of badminton club and we got one slice of square pizza and it was really good because that was like my dinner for the whole night. After that, I went to play brawl (Super Smash Bros Brawl) on the Wii and I learned to use Ike. Marth was my favourite character before but now I have changed to Ike because his attacks are just so much better. Though there are some problems with Ike such as his unleashing of his attacks are really slow and I get damaged so easily because I can never dodge them. Right now, my favourite game for Wii would definitely have to be Brawl. Non-stop action, 4 player and awesome characters that you will never get bored of. I kind of got carried away with playing it and was late for my car ride to my bowling place, World Bowling. It was for fellowship and we had fun playing bowling for 3 hours. After one hour passed, suddenly the lights at the bowling area turned off and then flashing lights came on and off, that was the start of cosmic bowling. Cosmic bowling is so much better because everything is dark and you need to rely on your eyes and perception very hard to aim at the pins. Not only that, there was like loud music blasting beside your ears. My lowest score for the night was 48 points and highest was 85 but I was trying things out such as using my left hand when I should have been using my right. After that I went to go mahjong and ate alfredo. Personally, it was really good although I had a really small portion. I slept at 2:00 in the morning.

Next day, I am up and ready at 7:00 to go on my second day of bowling. I went to Playtime Bowling another not so awesome bowling arena but it was for DECA. I went there to get our yearbooks and our subsidized money for the trip to Louisville. That was $150. Went to bowling for 3 hours and my right thumb started hurting because I had been playing like 6 hours of bowling for two days. While bowling we ate more pizza which is even better and the Deca Ontario announced the new Deca Executives next year. After the announcement, I realized that I should have applied as well because next year I could not apply since I was a Gr. 12. After that I played bowling on two lanes because we had that much space. So I was bowling at one lane and after that, I went on the other lane to go bowl again. Not only did I become efficient with time, I was practicing my bowling. Today's high score was 126. I had gotten 2 strikes which is pretty awesome. There was one part that was really funny. You know when you finish bowling, a bar would come down to sweep the fallen pins. One of my friends had fired a bowling ball while it was still sweeping the pins. The ball was stopped by the bar and stayed there. This thing happened with me yesterday too. One of my friends ran up the lane (the lane are really really oily to reduce friction) and went to retrieve the ball. After he came back, one of the bowling staff came over and yelled at him.
When I arrived back home, I went to watch Black and White or 痞子英雄. Not a bad drama because it was really interesting.
The song for the day for me is ai de bao bao 愛的抱抱.
BTW. I really love pizza its amazing.

Update later.

Sweaty

As each day passes by, it feels like it gets even hotter. Just a slow walk for 10 minutes has already made me sweat. Ugh, how will I survive another 3-4 months of this intense heat. If I continue getting roasted like this, I will surely die because in just 2 more months, I have to leave for Vancouver. Don't get too excited yet, I am not going to Vancouver to go shopping or vacation but I do wish I could. It is an exchange program for like 2 weeks where we learn more about Vancouver, etc. Such as eating their salmon from the rivers, living in tiipees. The thing about tiipees (Hope i spelt it right) is you must take turns watching over the fire or else it will die out and you get cold. If not, it can get the whole tiipee on fire and then you will die as well. I hope it will be awesome in Vancouver la. Well back to my day, finished my major accounting summative with like 20 minutes left. Asked to go to the washroom but instead I went out for a long 20 minute walk. I am a little saddened because she was not here today. At lunch = more frisbee and running. After lunch, I was sweating like crazy, friends were wondering what I did. They asked if I had ran home and came back. But I dried up really fast as the class went on. Not much fun other than that.

Hot Chaud Day

Today was just HOT! I was sweating like a pig after biking to school. My back was sweaty and I was dripping but I cannot believe it is just the beginning of summer.... I think. Anyways in class, its really hot although we have air condition. My teacher had complained that it was too cold in the staff office. I mean they are too cold while our classes are boiling hot? What is this!? They must really hate the students so much to have us suffer in this heat. Oh well, I can live with the heat.. starting to get used to it already. During lunch, we played more frisbee!!! and I always have problems catching the frisbee because I can never tell when the frisbee with stop. You know when you throw a frisbee it flies really fast and then starts to stall and falls down really slowly. I always get confused when to stop and catch the frisbee. Not only that, sometimes when someone throws a frisbee really fast and low. I can never reach for it when it flies by. Maybe it is because my arms are too short (DARN ARMS GROW LONGER PLS!). I was literally dripping after that frisbee game and I was out of water too. After lunch, I had chemistry and we did a short little experiment. It involved a can of nestea, a heat pad and a cold bucket of water. The can of nestea was heated and after that, we had placed the can in the cold bucket. Guess what happened next!? IT EXPLODED!.. well I might have exaggerated. It had shrinked because when the can was put in the cold water it had created a vaccuum and since the pressure inside the can was less than outside, it had collapsed. That might have been too much chemistry for you.
After that, we had an evacuation which lasted well over an hour. We had to go outside in the blazing sun and get roasted. While I was dying from the sun, I received a purple nurple which hurt big time. Sometimes, I wonder why guys are so violent. There was something that made me happy tho, I got to have a glimpse of her a couple of times during the evacuation which immediately made me happy once again.
After school, I came back home to take a short 2 hour nap and then continued on to work on my summative. After that, I watched a while of NBA Western Conference Finals, Phoenix Suns vs. LA Lakers. The Suns had pounded the Lakers with a whopping 10 point difference at the end of the final quarter. They ended up tieing the series to 2-2. I feel so sweaty, time for a shower.

Not a Bad Long Weekend

I have to admit this long weekend passed by really really fast. I had intended to finish all my work:
Accounting Summative (prepare)
Industrial Design Summative (Autocad Drawings)
Law Summative (Outline of essay and case study)
English Summative (scrapbook with 10 entries)
Sap Summative (Not even started)
Virtual School Assignments ( 3 of them)
All of this work is due in this week. GAH!!! At least I finished Accounting Summative preparation, somewhat started the Industrial Design drawings, finished half the Law Summative and finished all my virtual school assignments. There is more to come because I will have 7 exams this upcoming 2 weeks which means TONS OF STUDYING. AND NO MORE FOOLING AROUND. Yesterday I watched The Spy Next Door while I was having my haircut. My parents had said it was not a good movie but I felt that it was a pretty good movie. Although the rating is 3.5/5. Oh well, I liked it. After my haircut, my head felt really light after losing so much hair.
Today I watched avatar for the second time. I still liked it. Not bad. Today I was supposed to go see fireworks but I stayed behind to finish up my homework. I missed a great chance in seeing beautiful fireworks but I saw some lame and really loud fireworks outside my window. I was watching the NBA East Conference Finals. Orlando Magics were facing Celtics and losing 0-3 in the series. With one more loss, they would not be able to play in the playoffs. But today, The Orlando Magics did well and won at overtime with a score of 96-92. I think, not sure about the score. However with this win, they will be 1-3 in the series. There may still be a small hope in going to the playoffs. This situation is very similar to me confessing to her later. Although there is a big chance she will turn me down, all hope is not gone unless you get the answer from her. After that, my depression starts I guess.

Not bad Long Weekend

I finally learned to play Mahjong but I found out that not only does Mahjong depend on skill but also on luck. It is a matter of luck if you get the right tiles to make your hand the best it can be. Then we started betting and guess what, it was 50 push-ups if you lost. So if someone won, the other three people would need to do 50 push-up each. Then there was a girl who couldn't do push-ups so we let her do sit-ups. But 50 is a hefty amount. Oh well, I had lost and I had to do 50. Poor me. Gotta start on my homework.

Temptation

Waking up at 6:00am in the morning isnt fun especially when you sleep at 1pm and the purpose of waking up so early is to study for my upcoming biology test. What a relief that I am over with that. After finishing the test, I flip through my textbook to find if my answers were right, and it just makes me feel down when I see that one of my answers are already wrong. Great, now I know I have at least 1 wrong answer not counting other answers that I may have gotten wrong. I should stop cramming and to start studying actually. Because I have found a goal to surpass which is: to surpass and embarass this particular person by getting a higher mark than 90.8% for my top 6 gr. 12 marks. I am so gonna beat that by getting a 95%. That is my final goal for Gr. 12. I will concentrate on this goal and if I can achieve this, this particular person will be treating me to a very very expensive dinner. I hope. Alright back to school, we had a mock trial and I had to dress up even though I was a newspaper reporter. I feel that a newspaper reporter is quite a hard job but some people think otherwise. I have to take notes of everything that happens in this make-believe court room and to write an article. While others just need to present for like 4 minutes and that is it. I didn't even have a choice of choosing any position such as: judge, crown counsel, defense counsel, witness, court clerk and newspaper reporter. For me, I actually hate taking notes because I feel that everything seems very vital and important and I try to writie everything down. This is definitely a bad method but I just cannot stop. Not only that, I write really slow. So someone is talking and I am writing a brief summary of that, however as he talks about something else, I am not even finished writing that summary so I am always behind and have to skip some parts. After school, I felt so tempted to go chill but I held my ground and remembered my goal. And so I am here.

Total Fail

Today I woke up and looked at my alarm clock and it said 9:55. I was like OMG I am late and I was thinking since I am late why not just skip the period again. But after the incident with my parents yesterday, they yelled at me for skipping class to work on a summative. After rethinking, I remembered that today was Wednesday therefore it was a late start at 10:15. No wonder I had set my alarm clock to ring at 9:55. Thank gawd. I had to bike with a bag today and I felt really really unsafe because I could only have 1 hand on the handle when I should have two. But I usually have no-hands so it wouldn't have made a difference. But having to hold a bag is really a pain because it constantly hit my spinning wheel. Today, we got our essay outlines back and half the class failed. That is really really sad because we usually do well. The teacher had remarked, that she was going to mark hard this time and we had almost all failed. I was so happy to get a 11/20 which meant I DIDNT FAIL. but it was a pretty low mark. Many of the students were screaming at how low their mark was. Today I feel sleepy. Good Night. I have a huge biology test tomorrow which has like 13 chapters of studying with a lot of terms to memorize. Oh gawd. wish me luck.

Skipped A lot of Stuff

Last night after school, I came home to start my SAP assignment and my chemistry summative. Both of the work was due today and I had to rush it. For my SAP assignment, I had to write 4 large paragraphs with pictures for my foldable aka SAP assignment. btw SAP stands for sociology, anthropology and sociology. The part that I hate most was gluing. Gluing is such a painful job especially since glue sticks to pretty much everything. I dislike gluing. After finishing my SAP assignment, I continued on to my chemistry summative which was pretty hard because I had to stall for 10-12 minutes of non-stop talking. While I was working on my work, I had to skip SJA. When the people from SJA got back, they msged me telling me one of our teachers was really mad that a lot of us were skipping. Oh well, school has a higher priority over extra-curricular activites. After like 10 more minutes, the teacher actually emailed us all about how disappointed he was that many of us did not show up for the drill team which he was supposed to make us do. I was like, how do you suppose we can have enough time to go to SJA for foot drill when most of us are completely piled with summatives. Guess he doesn't know about that so I forgive him. After that, I went to sleep at 11:00pm and was supposed to wake up at 6:00am to finish it up. However I woke up at 6:45 because sleeping just felt so good especially when your really really tired. I don't know why, but I can never bring myself to wake up at such an early time of the day. After that, I decided to skip two periods to finish my chemistry summative because today was the day it was due and I didn't want to go to class empty-handed. Another thought was to skip my chemistry class so I can do my summative on another day but I disposed of it. So I skipped two periods doing my summative and rehearsing my speech and biked to school with a Bristol board in my bag. When I got to chemistry, I was like begging (Cantonese saying: kou) the sky to lemme do my summative on another day. But, guess the sky did not like me and my teacher wrote my name on the board to be one of the people to present. OMG!. I was sad and I messed up having not been fully prepared. I was like shaking during my whole entire presentation and I felt that my voice was more low or high. I don't really know but after that, I asked my friends and they said my voice was weird. Great. After school, I went to mitchell field to play some badminton and boy was I tired after like 1 hr having to play an intense 4 matches with one of my friends. AND now, I have 2 blisters. When I got home, my parents were yelling at me for skipping class because I went to do my summative. I am like wow, how do you not understand how important a summative is compared to 2 classes. gawd.

My May Camping Trip Day 2

This was the final day of our May Camp. I was already missing it because I had so much fun and I did not want to return to my test-homework-assignment filled school. We could not eat breakfast because our pan had eggs sticking on it and so we had to eat plain cereal. In the afternoon, we had boiled weeners and ketchup. YUM. After that we had our tests on knots, map and compass and stoves. OH yea I forgot, over the course of our meals, our stoves had lit on fire so many times. Not only that, I had witnessed seeing someone go on fire, well not exactly. The fire had lit her sweater on fire and when she found out, she literally did the procedure of stop, drop and roll. After that, she found a big, gaping hole on her sweater, poor girl. When she gets home, her mom will wonder how she got the hole. Oh well, during my knot test, we did the sheepbend, adjustable and reef knot. They were not that hard. The map and compass was a breeze and the stove was just easy. I just used a match to light my stove and ta-da I passed. However I really love using zippos, they are so much easier than matches and so much cooler. After that, it was the end our our may camp. As we were walking back from the campsite to the parking lot, 4 of us ran to the parking lot. It took us literally 15 minutes to run there so I wonder how long it would be to walk. When we got the parking lot, our counsellor started yelling at us because apparently, there was one person who was left behind and was lost. We thought he had planned this and were just miserable because we were all exhausted. However when we found this lost guy we found out he was actually lost because he had been the last person to leave the campsite with a 3 bags and a cooler. Also he had gotten lost because he did not know where the exit was. As we returned back to the parking lot to leave for home, we found out we lost another member. OMG, this member while trying to find the lost member had gotten lost herself. This was just sad and we ended up wasting an hour trying to find 2 lost members. I was tired and sweaty. I learned another big lesson for the day: never run ahead of your group because you never know if your group may get lost.

My May Camping Trip Day 1

Yesterday was the start of a soon to be amazing weekend that I will have. In this weekend, I learned about packing well and to find out the weather because I had suffered a lot as well. When we got to the designated campsite, we had to set-up shelter and our tents. While setting up the shelters, I had the opportunity of climbing a table to get on a tree. First of all, we needed to tie ropes on the trees to put up the tarp in case rain or any sorts of precipitation fell on our food. So, we had to move the tables so it was lying along the tree so I could get up and tie ropes around the tree. The feeling of being high above the ground was just incredible. In the afternoon it was all learning DEA stuff but as it got darker, the fun games began. The first game we played was to jump around rocks. Although it sounds simple, in reality it is really really hard. The instructions were: to pick up an object: rock, wood, etc and to stand on it in a straight line of at least 10-20ish people like 1 meter apart. In our case we had 20 people. We were not allowed to step on the ground because it was supposedly hot lava and we had to move the people from the back of the line to the front. This was not challenging because it is not hard to jump on rocks. However our counsellor made it even more challenging by having some of us blindfolded. This increased the level of difficulty as a number of us including me was blindfolded. By the way, we only had 20 chances of falling before we had to do push-ups as punishment after that. However we had accomplished these two rigorous trials within 10 falls. After that, we had to try and say a greek alphabet within 5 seconds. This seemed impossible, imagine trying to say the english alphabet in 5 seconds. However we had accomplished it in 10 tries and succeeded beyond expectations with a time of 4.0 seconds. Can you believe it? The 24 words of the greek alphabet in 4.0 seconds including my word: upsilon. Can you do that? I DONT THINK SO!!! The next insane game was to try and fit all 20 of us on a piece of cardboard box. You know how you flatten the cardboard box so its flat, we had to fit 20 of us on it. In my mind, I knew it was impossible because I had done the exact same game in another camp known as the residential project. We had tried everything: piggy backing, having us hold hands and fall backwards as a circle, etc. This time, we had a log to sit on and we used it as best as we could. We had 3 people sit on a log and have their feet on the cardboard. Then we had more people sit on the 3 people that were on the log. In total we had 4 layers of people which was like 12 people sitting. I was one of them at the bottom and I had 3 other people sitting on me. MY LEGS WERE DYING Because I was losing all blood flow. I had hoped for having girls sit on me because they were lighter and they had helped a little. This idea was not successful and we had to do push-ups as punishment. After that, we decided to try and use ropes and tie it around the log. We would have people pulling at both ends of the rope so we could all balance but that didn't work and we had to do lounges for punishment. Next we decided to go on tables and have each of us have a hand on the cardboard but our counsellors said it was the wrong method. Then, we asked for a hint and they made us do human sit where we needed to be in partners. We had to lean on each other and sit as if we were sitting on the toilet seat. However this time, the toilet was not there. We had to hold it for 45 seconds and it was a pain!!! However we had succeeded by taking a picture of all of us and placing it on the cardboard and then all of us had to get on logs and tables so we were not touching the ground. WE HAD FINALLY DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE. Our counsellor said another method was to write all our names on the cardboard. In the end, I found out the game was a play on words: to have all of the team touching the cardboard without touching the ground. And I thought, this was so cheap because our thoughts were to complex and a simple method would have been able to accomplish this task. Soon after, when it got really dark and once again we were all blindfolded and guided to different spots in the campsite. The goal was to meet together and to go in order of our mother's name without talking. While we were waiting for all of us to be guided to our designated waiting spots, fireworks started to come up and it was nonstop for like 10 minutes. In that 10 minutes, I was completely scared because I was all alone, blind, animals might eat me and it was really dark. In the end, we had succeeded in one try. It was getting late so we had our big bonfire and ate tons of marshmallows. Darn, we forgot to play chubby bunny. This game required the participant to stuff as many marshmallows as they can in their mouth and to try and say the phrase "Chubby Bunny" every time they stuff a marshmallow in their mouth.
After the bonfire, we retreated to our tents and I took off my socks and changed into my pjs. At night, I awoke many times during the night because it was so COLD. My feet were freezing, my body was shivering and my head was just dead. I was so cold because I had such a light sleeping bag and my head was just outside without a hat. To solve these problems, I placed a t-shirt on top of my head and to wear two layers of socks. Unfortunately, I did this just 1 hour before I had to wake up to start the next day. I learned a great lesson on packing especially for the cold.

I should be Packing.

OMG, today's already Friday already. This week goes by pretty fast but not only that, today's school passed by pretty fast as well. In first period, our class got labtops again, I mean our very own labtops for the period. How awesome is that!!! Well you know what I will do when I am given the freedom of using a labtop, I would go gaming. And so the whole class, I was playing games without the teacher noticing at all. She was walking around and checking people's screens but I always flipped to a working screen when she came by. I was laughing when someone had gotten caught doing their jazz homework instead of doing their english homework. She had stated: "This is an english class and I want to you do your english homework here not your jazz homework. I don't bring labtops so that you can work on other stuff and I want to see your guidance counsellor as well about this." I was like GG!! man. However, after laughing I guess karma struck me back. I was caught studying for math and I was GGed as well. She had asked about my guidance counsellor. After that, I had a math test after lunch, and the math test was pretty hard and easy at the same time. It was hard because at the start, I had no idea what I was doing. One really funny thing was, before the test, one classmate of mine had wrote all the formulas that we would need to use on the test on the blackboard. Our teacher had not noticed this for 3 tests that we have done before and this happened again today. I am like laughing at how smart the teacher was!! Oh well, the test was pretty easy once you understand the questions because at first, I was wondering how do you work this equation out, etc and I was stuck. After that I finished in time but I know I got a question wrong because I had not read the question properly. Guess I can blame it on time-issues because I could not almost finish the test within the time alotted.
After that I had chemistry summative, that was killer and I hope I will never do it again. Gawd, we were given 5 articles in total but we just needed to summarize 2 articles and make references to the textbooks. That was it, but I had used one hour and ten minutes finishing it. My friend was calling out the time every ten minutes that past and well let's just say we started at 2:30pm. We had an hour to finish this summative. I was summarizing the article when my friend said 3:00pm and I was only on my first article, after that I was worried. I had thirty minutes to finish the article that I was currently working on and the next article my teacher had assigned. I was thinking I would be screwed again but in the end, I had finished it in time but my writing was so messy because I had to rush it. Oh well, if my teacher can read it, then all is fine by me.
Thank gawd, I had nothing after that because it was after school. I went straight home to go sleeping and now I have awoken to update my blog for the day. However, I should be finishing a presentation, Maps and Compasses, because I need to present it in this weekend. And I should be starting my packing as well. Oh well, I hope I have good luck because I just found out I had only 1 pair of glasses and if I break it, I am totally screwed. My parents were like yelling when they found out I had 1 pair of glasses. Oh well, I hope my good luck lasts.

Rainy Day

Today I should not be in school because I was either supposed to be at the Guelph Science Olympic or the Space Design where we compete against all of North America. Well, I could not go to the Guelph Competition because my parents were not willing to sign the permission forms. The Space Design was 4 nights 5 days so I would not be here from today until Sunday. However I cannot go to either of them because of my May Camp. In May Camp we were supposed to be doing something extreme and fun. And I have to finish my Compass and Maps work where I need to present this to all the people in my group. I haven't even started and there are like 10 pages to read and summarize. After that I have to think of an interactive game.

Today in my period one class, there was only 5!! ONLY 5!! people in class. That is just sad because usually there were like 25. The reason were some of them were at the Space Design, others were at Guelph and most of the people were writing the Avogadro Contest. I was not gonna do it because I am not into Chemistry and I don't really like it much. Our teacher was just mad and kept yelling at people when they came in late. After school, it was raining. I went biking home and as I was getting close to my home, I saw a girl that resembled the girl I like from the back. However she had an umbrella with her and I had to bike past her to see her face. However I was disappointed that it was not her. Now I am just sad and tired. I am just gonna go take a nap now because I feel so tired.

Already Wednesday

Every day feels so tiring for me. I don't really know why but it might be because I really love sleep and I never have enough sleep. Personally, my sleeping time requires at least 10 hours so I can function properly but I am trying to manage this with only 7 hours of sleep. That is 2 hours!!!
Moving on, today I was late to school and it's surprising after waking up at 10:00. I needed to brush my teeth, wash my face, shower, change into my clothes instead of my pj's, make lunch, pack my homework and eat my breakfast. ALL in 15 minutes or I will be late and in the end I was late to school. Only 2 or 3 minutes because when I arrived at the school, I had to stand at the entrance waiting for the O'Canada to end. After that, I ran to my period 1 class to find that we got labtops to work with for the period. I was extremely surprised to find that our school was rich enough to have like 30 labtops. Anyhow, our teacher showed us a move called Fahrenheit 9/11 which talked about how George Bush had accomplished almost nothing when he became the president. He had announced the assasination of the guy (I don't quite remember) and to help the nation of Iraq. Therefore troops were required to live in Iraq to have peace in the nation. However all I see in the news are constant bombings. The movie also stated a fact that the troops that are being sent to Iraq are not even close to the amount of troops in America. This is ridiculous because it is almost impossible to restore a nation with like this small amount of troops. If he had actually took this seriously, he should have sent most of the troops to finish the job quickly. However at the end of the movie, I found out that war is neverending and is continuous because no side would give up.
Another really ridiculous thing was like 200-300 congressman who are America who have sons are not willing to have them go to the war of Iraq to fight. I mean all those soldiers in Iraq right now are soldiers from low-income families. Because they do not have enough income, they enlist in America's military forces to have some income. But in the end, they die a tragic and horrible death of being bombed by some Iraqs.

When will this war end. This war has already killed many people with so many people grieving, this war has not ended but America continues to keep sending troops there. What will the troops be doing there? Well, that is a really simple answer, with such a small force of troops, there is no way of conquering or helping the large nation of Iraq. They will only be bombed sooner or later.

I really hope America and even Canada to stop sending troops.

It is so hard trying to accomplish my goal of updating my blog every day. Somehow, I just forget it or I am just too tired. I gotta drill that into my daily routine. Well I have sleep deprived for two days with a major cold. Sigh, my cold has still not recovered because I am constantly lacking sleep and I am always in the cold with a sweater when I should be in a jacket. I am coughing like crazy as if I am going to cough up blood sometime soon. I hope I can get enough sleep soon because I really love my sleep. Today, I signed up for summer school and guess what, I found out that I am the #766 person to sign up for Brebeuf School. The course I hope to take is gr 12 english. I am so screwed if I dont get in because our teachers in this school aren't the best ones that you can find or hope for. Lets just say, I would not like to place my future in their hands. Currently I am trying to study for the math quiz and chemistry lab summative that is coming up in less than 24 hrs!!! Scared, terrified, freaked out, etc.

update later.

Sick and Soaked

Today I don't feel I had enough sleep and I was feeling really drowsy during all my classes. In my English class, I was really happy after hearing our teacher's announcement that our class did exceptionally well. I hope I did well then but my english isn't that good so I need to read more. For the rest of the day, it was all sitting and listening to teachers teach. At the end of school, it was pouring or actually raining cats and dogs. Unfortunately, I did not bring an umbrella or any jacket and I was in my t-shirt. What great luck I had... I was wet in the first 10 seconds and then completely soaked. But the worst part was, I had to walk all the way to my home even though I had my bike there, because I had to walk with my friends. They had an umbrella and were not wet at all while I was walking with my bike there. Then, they suggested to walk slower because they wanted to watch me get drenched. Sigh, what great friends I had. There is always some bad news but good news is always welcome. The good news was, I skidded for the first time in my life. For those people who don't know what skidding means it is when accelerate really quickly on your bike and then suddenly braking which causes the bike to slip. When I arrived home, I went to sleep immediately and woke up at 7:15 to go to fellowship. I was late because I had to get food but our fellowship always started late so it didn't matter. However some thunder clouds came and our counsellors called off our event (SOFT!!!) which was to go around begging house-owners for non-perishable food. I thought that was great but I started regret it when we were playing buzz. Oh well, I guess I can say that it was a small break from all the work I have done.

The start of my first exam

Time passes by so fast, its almost at the end of the school year already and exams are coming up fast. The first exam has just passed today and I do not think I did well. I forgot the name of the protagonist of my book so all I wrote was the protagonist of the book was blah blah blah. I could not believe that I had no time to finish my essay in two hours. I take too long to write an essay

update later.

The terrible incident that happened

I thought today would be a pretty normal school day for me but I guess I was wrong about that. Today, many terrible, embarrassing, random, unusual things happened from fire alarm to getting into trouble with the teacher. In the morning a fire alarm started to ring as the class was coming to a close and I stood up with my hand up in the air yelling "YES!". My teacher got mad at me and started yelling because she didn't like my behaviour. As if I care. Anyways the whole class already hates her so I do not think it matters if she hates me back.
Next thing that happened was during chemistry class, there was nothing special except letting the teacher check our pre-lab before we started conducting the lab. However the events started happening when I started performing the lab. Through these events my teacher hated me even more. Oh well but let me explain it.

I was pipetting 10mL of vinegar from a plastic beaker (size: 4cm height) with the rubber squeezing thing(pipet bulb) at the top. Suddenly the volumetric pipet slipped out of the pipet bulb and fell on the counter. By the way the pipet was a thin tube of glass and you know when glass falls. BLING, pieces of glass bursted out as the pipet collided with the table counter. My teacher instantly turned and stared at the mess that I had made and gave me a short lecture about not fooling around. The group next to me remarked: "I won't be a 傻瓜 like him." In my head, I was like I wasn't being stupid, it was really an accident, not as if I had intended to do it. She told us about her other class which two guys were fooling around and one of them had got a 0.
After that, I let my partner do everything that was made out of glass because I did not even want to break anymore things. This was basically everything because all the materials and apparatus was made of glass: erlynmeyer flask, volumetric flask, pipet, etc. Also, we started out with 20 marks with the start of the lab and I had already lost 2 marks because of breaking the pipet. Apparently, the pipet that I broke cost $20!!!
After that, my teacher deducted another 2 mark because my partner was not using a piece of white paper to measure the volume of the solution. He was using his hand which was not good enough for her and so both of us lost 2 marks. So I am at 16/20 already in just 10 minutes. The purpose of the sheet of paper was to block out some of the light so we can read the volume accurately but the palm of your hand finishes the job as well.
At the very end of the class, one of my classmates broke the volumetric flask ACCIDENTALLY and he was not yelled at. This is just UNFAIR!.

A mundane week?

This might have been a mundane week for me if I had not left for Kentucky. Because of this, I had lost 7 days including the weekend or 5 days of school. I wonder why I had said "yes" when I was asked whether or not I wanted to attend the Deca Internationals in Louisiana. If I had not said yes, this week would have been so much easier without having to catch up on all the missed homework, assignments and tests.
This week will be a terribly busy week with late assignments to hand in and tests to finish. I believe my teachers must hate me for having to see me during their lunch time to write my tests. Oh well, I should be thrilled that they let me write the test a week later.

Schedule for the week:
Monday: St. John's meeting (Sadly I had missed it)
Tuesday: SAP test at lunch
Wednesday: English Exam in the morning
Thursday: regular busy day
Friday: English Presentation (maybe?), Fellowship (I have skipped 3 weeks of fellowship already, don't want to have the counselors worry about me)
Saturday: Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award Ceremony
Sunday: Church
