STRIKE DAYYYY 3

*sigh* today's the last day of the strike and the 5 day-weekend. That means there's actually school tomorrow. Omggg... I don't get to sleep in anymoree. Why can't the teachers just strike for the whole week so we could have a 3 week spring break and just go on vacation earlier... I don't even feel like going to school tomorrow. I have a French project due soon and I also have this science invention thing due Friday. At least there's only 2 more days of school left. After these 2 days, I'll be going to Hong Kong right on Saturday. We'll be staying at Hong Kong for a few days then I'll be going to Italy. I've been to Italy once before when I was 12 but I was with a tour and we only stayed there for a day or two. Now this time, I'll be staying there for about a week just sightseeing and taking pictures. We'll travel on our own and get around on our own soooo yea. I'm pretty excited for spring break. I'll finally get to relax.

STRIKE DAY 2

It's the second day of the strike and I decided to go to Oakridge today with some of my friends from elementary since we barely even see each other anymore. We also passed by our elementary and we saw our old elementary teachers striking. I recognized my Grade 3 teacher, my Grade 5 teacher, and my Strings teacher. They were around the school area holding up signs. Anyways we hung at Oakridge for a while grabbing some lunch at White Spot and we played some hockey and that was it for the day. It was beautiful today. It would've been a shame to waste it.

NOOO SCHOOOL

SOOOOOO today was the first day of the strike and I sure am making the most of it either though I still have tutor and such. I went to Richmond today to get some fresh air and I had some Pho for lunch and it was delicious. After I had Pho I went for my usual violin lessons and my violin teacher thought I was starting my spring break vacation today so he forgot all about me and he came like 15 mins late after we called him telling him that it was next week that my vacation started. So yeaaa. I guess he was a little disappointed that he had to come for class but I did pretty well even though I sounded horrible. Yeaa. Good day. =)

CYPRESSSS

SOOOOOO today's Sunday and with the 3 day strike the teachers are having, I actually got to enjoy my Sunday for once. My parents and I decided to go to Cypress for some snowshoeing. We've actually never been to Cypress this year. There was ALOT of snow there. There were at least like 2-3 metres of snow there and when we got there, it was actually snowing. It was pretty extreme because when we were walking, the snow was hitting straight at our faces and the snow was so hard it felt like shards of rocks hitting my face. We went through our usual snowshoe trails and we took some pictures.There was alot of fog up there too but the mountain was still just as beautiful as ever. At one point with the snow and the fog it felt like i was walking in heaven. We had alot of fun.

HAPPPY BIRTHDAYYY GRANDMAAAA

HAPPPY BIRTHDAYYY TO YOUUUUUUUUU
HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU
HAPPYYYY BIRTHDAYYY TO MY GRANDMAA, LINDAAAA
HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Today was her birthday and obviously we would have to celebrate it. The morning was just like any Saturday morning. I had my usual Takewondo classes and my Chinese school during the afternoon. After all those classes and lessons though, we took time to start celebrating her birthday. We went to a restaurant and we ordered alot of food. There were foods of all sorts. We had lobster, fish, some beef, and my favourite dish, Spicy Fried Tofu. It'ss soooo freaking good. As a birthday present to her, I bought her the birthday cake and I drew this pretty nice picture, which I'm very proud of, during Chinese school. She got alot of calls from her friends from Hong Kong and yea. Hope you have a great day grandma!!!! May all your dreams come true.

5 DAY WEEEKENDDDDD

Dannggg with the strike happening and all that, we're going to be having a 5 day weekend. I guess that means there's only 2 more days of school left till spring break. Also, today was Student Walkout and there were alot of people walking out. Some of my friends were walking out too but during my French class last period, no one even walked out. There were like 1 or 2 people who didn't even come to class and I assume they were doing the walkout but the majority stayed. That was just for our class though. In other classes, there were alot of people that went. Honestly, most of the people just went to go back home. There were some people that actually went to protest but majority went as an excuse to ditch class. I didn't really see the point in going especially since I had to go all the way to the Art Gallery and I had cadets at like 5:30 so I stayed with the rest of the 28 people in my class. Wonder how this strike thing i gonna turn out. 

fieldtrip

Today we had a fieldtrip to the Jewish Community Centre beside Oakridge and we learnt all about the Holocaust. We watched a short film called "Pigeon" and it talked about a Jew who was getting on a train with a fake passport. It was a pretty neat film and it had a very meaningful ending. After watching the film, we had an actual Holocaust survivor tell us his story and what he's been through. He's had a hard and sad life. He also had these childhood pictures which were taken before the Holocaust happened. There was a picture of his dad and him riding bikes and a picture of him and his mom together and it was beautiful. It was pretty emotional too because his dad was one of the victims who were taken away and killed and he talked about the last time he saw his dad in his life. His words were pretty strong.

ANYWAYSSS. Turns out the teachers are actually going on strike so I think we're gonna have a 5 day weekend. Tomorrow's Student Walkout Day and some people are going to the Art Gallery to protest so some people might not even be at school. Wonder how the strike's gonna turn out.
