The WaterSlide

     Today was the waterslide in Churchill and it was filled with people from every grade. The slide was basicly some long plastic pieces with water and soap added onto. When the water and soap was added and the first line of people were sliding down, it was pretty slippery. You would go really fast down and it would be really fun. Then after a few minutes or so the soap started to disappear but there were still plentiful of water. It wasn't really slippery anymore and the some dirt from the ground got on the water. Soon the water got muddy but there were still a whole bunch of people sliding down. I didn't know how the people were going to get changed in time for their next class. If I had free period after lunch then I would definitely have fun sliding but I didn't and I had no other change of clothes. Guess I have to wait till next year!

The Field Trip

     Today was the day of the Playhouse field trip. I was really excited to go to watch the Fantasticks. There were different versions of the play and this play was the movie version. It was almost exactly the same. They added some more jokes and made it funnier but the storyline and the events were the same. We got there by bus and with a class of thirty people added in it was really full. Fornuately, more and more people left after we came in. We were the first ones there and made ourselves comfortable right away. The play was about 2 hours including the intermission. After the play was over, the teacher asked who could go home from here with their parents' permission. Me and Jason went to the nearest skytrain station and expected us to be at school before them but turns out we were on the same train. They were just farther down. We should've just followed the class but I guess it wasn't the same.

Where's the volleyball game?

     Today was the day where Churchill would go against Magee in Junior Girl's Vollyball. Me and my friends were rooting for Churchill but we didn't think we would be going to the game. When me and my friend walked home we decided that maybe we really should watch the game. The problem was that we didn't know where it was so we headed for Hamber. It took like 30 minutes to walk from Churchill to Hamber and turns out there was no volleyball game there. It turns out the volleyball game was at Magee. The game had already been through halfway. There was not enough time to walk all the way to Magee and still watch the game so we decided to just call it off. We wasted 2 hours just from walking and finding the volleyball game. I could've been at home working on my Science project. Next time I'll remember to know for sure where a game is before I actually think about going.

Club's Day

     Today was Club's Day at Churchill and boy were there a lot of clubs! I expected the stands and tables to be inside the gym so we won't have to go outside to the rain and wind. I really wanted to join the dissection club but the meetings were all in the morning at 7:00 a.m. I didn't know how I would make it in time because I wake up at 7:40 a.m. I looked at all the other clubs like the bike club, leadership club, and the music club. There were a lot of people so it was really hard to get pass and through. Sometimes we would just get squished there and not move. The dissection club was all the way near the back too. There was a huge number of people signing up. I think that the dissection club had the most people signing up. The club with the least people would be the invisible club if it even was a club or the chess club maybe because it was all the way at the very end. You couldn't even notice that there was a club back there. I wish that the meetings would be at lunch because there's really much to do at that time.

Homework Sunday

     So much homework today! I don't even know where to start. I have a Science project proposal due in four days. I have a English paragraph due on Wednesday. I have some French homework due tomorrow. There was a lot of work to do. The biggest thing was the Science project proposal. I really wanted to do a good job and it only seemed like yesterday that the teacher said that the proposal will be due two weeks from now and already one and a half weeks passed. I don't know how I'm going to pull this off. I don't even have the topic figured out yet. I planned to do something mechanics related because it's a topic that sounds like fun. You get to build and observe how well it works. I'm really curious in how this'll turn out for me. The Science project is bad news but the English fieldtrip this Wednesday makes up for it all.

Another Day

     It was another great day with great weather. The day started with the usual Takewondo lesson on a usual Saturday. We practised some kicks and did cool flying kicks. We broke some boards and off we go back home to study for my usual Chinese dictation. It was another usual day for me. Until it got to the afternoon. I found a few elementary friends at Richmond Centre surprisingly and decided to hang out for an hour or two. We watched a movie like we did over the summer and had a lot of fun. It brought back a lot of great memories. I really miss my friends. We promised each other that we'll be friends until the end when we were little and we'll always be.

6-Lap Run For Gym

     Today was finally the day for the 6-lap run! Everyone was really excited to sprint their legs off and surprisingly so was I. When I did the Langara run, I had a sprained ankle so I couldn't do much. I have to say I wasn't the fastest runner. If I had more stamina then I could do better but low stamina was one of my weak points. I really didn't expect much from myself. I decided to give it all my all on the first lap then sprint all the others. I got exactly 2 minutes for the first lap and I was exhausted already. My lungs were really hurting but I couldn't give up. The other laps were a pain. It was a really hot day and I was sweating bullets. I finished with the time of 17:25. It was pretty good for me since I got 25:25 for the Langara run and the Langara run was 7 laps. I guess I was faster. I wouldn't have changed anything I've done.
