CHINESEEEEE

FINALLYYYY. Today was the end of term 1 for Chinese school. We have like 2 weeks of break till term 2. I'm pretty glad I guess. Chinese is pretty time consuming. Especially studying for the dictations every week. We got our report cards today for term one and I gotta say, this would have to be the lowest mark I've ever gotten in all my time at chinese school. I don't even think it's considered a pass. I got like exactly 50%. At my chinese school I'm pretty sure 60% is pass. It's different there. I'm not sure why but all I know is that if I don't get a better mark next term, I'll be repeating Grade 8 Chinese and that would suck. When I was little, my parents made me do Chinese and I hated it. That went on for a while. The only reason I was doing Chinese was cuz of my parents. But then in Grade 6, things changed. I actually enjoyed Chinese for once and my reason for continuing changed. Now I'm doing it because I want to and I think that's the most important reason for anything. Doing something you want. It doesn't matter what I get. Just as long as I learn and enjoy it.

COOKINGGG

Ok so for cadets today, we did our usual drill to start off and after that we did something different. Usually we would be spending our time learning first aid but this week, we learnt about the food guide. I've learnt this at least a billion times when I was little and I'm pretty familiar with it. Turns out that this is for the cooking proficiency badge that we'll get finish the course. On the last class of the cooking proficiency, which is next week, we will be cooking at Churchill. It'll be interesting though. I'm looking forward to making my own dinner next week. Hope the stuff I end up making will be editable.

YAYAYAYAY IM FREEEEEEEE

YAYAYAYAY FINALLY A DAYY WITH NOOOO HOMEWORK. This past week was pretty busy. Especially with the Pre-IB application due and the S.S essay test we had. I had to get a bunch of notes for that test and stayedup till like 12am writing everything. The science fair update was also a pain too. The only thing that I liked about it was that it gave me a little push to get me started on it. It was useful in a way. I also had to study for the S.S timeline test and the big chapter test for French which lasted for 2 days. And finally, tomorrow's Friday. Another weekend. It came just in time too. Ive had a big week.

MYYYY CONTACTSSSS

So today I was washing my contacts at the sink just like how I usually do and suddenly, one of my contacts slipped out of my finger and it went right now the sink. Now obviously I would be super scared because I would be blind going to school without them unless I wear my glasses again and a pair of those hard lense contacts cost 200 dollars. That was 200 dollars going down the drain literally right now. I was looking everywhere and my heart was like pounding. I yelled for my dad and he came up and open one of the pipes. At first there was nothing and I was really disappointed because I thought there might've been a chance that it got stuck in one of the pipes. After running water through all of the pipes throughly, the contacts came out of one of the pipes. I was soooo sooo glad I didn't lose them. I gotta be more careful with my contacts next time.

Pre-IB Application

Finally I finished my whole Pre-IB application. After all my hard work I'm actually finally done everything. I organized the whole application and it's all set to go. I have my Pre-IB biography and all my marks and the residency proof. I spent so much time on this. I'm kinda glad I have a collab tomorrow because it's 1 am and I still have to make notes for my S.S. essay test I have tomorrow and I have to study for the second part of my French test. I'm soo sooo tired. Well. At least now I won't have to worry about it. Glad to get it over with.

SOOOOO MUCHHHH STUFFFF

OMGGGGGGG

I'm like overloaded with work. Especially with the Pre-IB biography due on Thursday. I'm spending alot of time on it but the problem is, I'm not quite following the outline they provided us with on the application form. I wrote too much about my background and not enough about my interests and what I do outside of school. Also, the fact that the biography needs to be on average 500 words, sucks because I have so much to say about myself. At first I thought 500 words was alot but it's actually like nothing. Other than the biography, I have to make notes for the open note S.S test and I have a bunch of math homework and a booklet for Science which is due tomorrow and I still have to do my science fair experiment/ project. I really miss winter vacation.

Homework day

Today was actually the first time I spent the whole day doing homework non-stop with a friend. I invited one of my friends over so we could brainstorm ideas for our pre-IB biography and what we would write. Well that's what we were planning to do. Then we got so carried away with doing other homework we didn't work on the biography till like 2 hours later. It was a pretty good work period though. I managed to finish my math tutor homework and make process into the science homework. Then when I actually had time to do the biography, I made two versions of it because I was out of topic for the first one and the second one I was more in topic but I didn't like it as much and I'm still deciding which one I'm using. I actually enjoyed doing homework for once though. It was kinda fun but I guess it was a bit too slow. Just too many distractions but I'm looking forward to doing this more often in the future. =)
