Today was watermania day!!! At first I thought I would be late, but I actually waited for a long time at school which was good. The bus ride wasn't that fun, unlike a lot of other bus rides I've been on to field trips =]. While we were in the pool we went on the waterslides, and played piggies (guys) in the middle with a ball in the wave pool. Then we moved to the normal pool and played volleyball which didn't work out that well, then water polo and again in a different place and then marco polo. Then we went to the diving boards but the highest one wasn't opened which really sucked. My friends lost their goggles and rubber things that were supposed to be in the goggles in the deep end, and we looked for them by playing the game "Finding their goggles". It was really fun. I picked up the rubber things but no one could even see the goggles. We mistaked random circles in the bottom of the pool as the goggles, since no one could go down that easily other than me so they just guessed which one it was. Going down was very painful since it was a very deep pool. We were only there for 2 hours, so it passed very quickly especially since we put most of our time into "Finding their goggles". The bus ride back was slightly more fun than the one there, but still not that fun. During lunch we left our friend to watch our lunchbags to try to get free candy in the cafeteria. Since there wasn't much space in there to watch the halloween dressup thing we watched it at the stairs which was still really fun except we couldn't get any candy through the glass. There were tons of people who showed their costumes and it was very fun to watch. A group of guys imitating Jabbowockeez were the most entertaining. We ended up staying there for a very long time and the person who was watching our lunch bags eventually came to see why we took so long. During math we relearned the section we learned last class which was completely pointless because of the lack of thinking needed in the section. We had a test on it afterwards and then had free time which wasn't that fun since I had no one to talk to in the grade 11 class. I decided not to do recycling because I was so tired from swimming and even more tired from listening to math and there wasn't anyone there that would make it entertaining. I'm not going trick-or-treating today sadly since I have no one to go with, but I'm probably going to fright nights tomorrow which I am REALLY looking forward to since I'll see my old friends again and it'll probably be very fun even though I heard it was cheesily unscary. Today I'll cram to study for chinese since I have a midterm tomorrow hich I haven't studied for yet and work on the small amount of homework I have on Sunday since I will be very busy on Saturday for both fun and unfun things.
I've been looking through a bunch of blogs, and I realized everyone else's were SUPER long and SUPER informal and SUPER insightful. I felt like they were being directed to another kid who had the patience to read that much. Most of the blogs I read were very pessimistic and seemed like everyone was stressing out, making me feel better since I can handle my work without falling apart (ish). My technique of procrastination is working! But I doubt it will for a long time.
Today was fun since we didn't do much because of Halloween tomorrow which I am still sad about for not doing anything Halloweenie. In applied skills I sat around watching people trying to finish their orthographic drawings and attempting to focus to study for science. I didn't actually get around to studying that much but it was ok since the test was extremely easy. It was true or false questions, multiple choice questions, fill in the blanks questions, and short answer questions. I was so happy to get that kind of test. We had a substitute who was very nice. In the middle of it, there was a fire alarm, which was fun although I don't think it was supposed to be. We tried to keep our tempts of discussing the questions on our test from taking over us, and it worked... for the most part =]. When we were allowed to go in the bell rang again causing confusion, hesitation, and entertainment for the rest. At lunchtime I did a book test on Harry Potter 3, and I don't know what I will do when I finish the series. I decided not to do another one, and instead signed up for a sophisticated book, To Kill a Mockingbird. I just realized blogger autosaves the blog every minute which is very annoying but I guess it's for my good. In English we presented our symbols and my friend forgot her symbol and decided to copy me by using her phone. Well actually she thought of it herself but I like to frame people about things they didn't do. I know, I'm not that nice. That took up most of the class, and then at the end of class I suggested to Ms. Greskiw to give us candy for Halloween which was very smart. In Socials there was this spider thing that would fall down if we clapped, so we decided to put a person on the bottom for the spider to fall on, but that person was too manly so he didn't scream like a girl. We worked in our workbooks again which is getting tedious and boring, not like it wasn't ever, but it is getting extravagant. After that we watched The Simpsons which was fun. I didn't go to the dance since I didn't really want to and I didn't really buy a ticket either.
Today I will finish most of my middle years funwork or maybe all of it and then I will work on my chinese veryveryunfunwork which I hope I will finish today.
Yesterday I decided to switch from msn spaces blogging to blogger which was good since I won't be embarrassed by all the childish remarks I made in everywhere else in the space when someone sees it. During art today we worked on our group project which we couldn't finish very soon so we had to stay in at lunch to work on it. In pe we played basketball again which was not too bad but still far more boring than other sports. My friend also told me that he might come to middle years which is exciting. At lunch I worked on my art project while getting my friend to test me on science and at the end my partners went to change for pe and never came back so I was late for french while cleaning up by myself, and my french teacher decided to keep me out there and make "funny" faces through the window which was very scary and not funny either. We had to copy a bunch of stuff again which I finished pretty early so I decided to do my english homework behind a raised french textbook since she didn't allow some other person in my class to read the english textbook. In math we had free time for the last 30 minutes since our teacher finished teaching early, so I decided to finish up my english homework. Today I have to study for science so that's what I will do and then I will start on my chinese essay.
I prefer not to have any more middle years classes, especially not pe since I feel pe is a time to relax and excercise off any stress, and if there is thinking put into that, then I think it won't take any stress off. Also, having 4 middle years classes is already pretty hard to manage.
Today I had applied skills where I worked on my orthographic sheet which I am very close to finished. In science we reviewed for our chapter test this thursday. In english we had a quiz and got our essays back and I did pretty badly with a 15/20. We worked in our workbook during socials which was boring, but at least we didn't get too much homework from it. This week is a horrible week, considering it's a holiday week. I have a science chapter test, chinese midterm test, a bunch of scouts things to work on, an applied skills test, and a ton of homework which might be ok on a normal week, but this week I'd also like to do something for halloween which is one of my favorite holidays but I never do anything about it. I doubt I will get to do anything anyways other than going to watermania this friday which I am really looking forward to. Today I will do my english and socials homework and study for science.
Today was day 1 so I had art first period. We worked on our group project again and had lots of suggestions from the substitute. In pe we had our field hockey written test which I studied for 10 minutes for, so I probably asian failed it badly. French was boring since our teacher had a sore throat and we had to copy down a bunch of things from our textbook. In math we had a test after learning a new section. Today I will finish my middle years homework.
I was at camp for the past 2 days so I didn't blog. On Friday I left for camp and when I got there I had to set up our tents in the rain. Then we started dinner for which we cooked Chunky's. We played a manhunt game and then had a pumpkin carving competition which we won. Our pumpkin was a sick pumpkin throwing up. We then played a game where we gave hints to a person about a word which they couldn't see and they'd have to guess it. We ate a lot of cookies, and after a patrol leader and assistant patrol leader meeting at night, we started singing really loudly and probably woke up a lot of people who were trying to sleep. I woke up at 7:00 on saturday morning to set up the flagpole and spent at least an hour doing so since I had to do it myself. Then I ate a quick breakfast and went to the ceremony to raise the flag and this time I didn't screw up while doing so. After we had many sessions where our leaders taught us how to use basic equipment (directed to new members) and it was very boring. Lunch was udon with meat/fishballs which took much more effort to make than I thought it would. After lunch we had an "Amazing Race" which was fun until I stepped into a puddle of manure. Then it wasn’t as fun. After dinner, which was udon again and pork chops which took very long to cook. We had a lot of things to cook after dinner. After dinner we had a campfire which was not as fun as campfires before since I didn’t have a proper seat. We had a night hike after that, and then went to sleep. On Sunday we had scouts’ own which I planned. We went home at 11 and everyone was happy since they would receive plumbing soon. When I got home I worked on some middle ye
ars work.
Today was middle years day and I finished 6 boxes in a period. In science we checked out our gummy bear lab on which I predicted gummy bears would not absorb any water, but they actually grew at least double in size. In english we marked more worksheets and did a presentation on questions we were assigned to answer. During socials we had an easy test and then played a jeopardy like game. Today I will finish some of my m.y. homework since I only have today and tomorrow to do so and a bit of sunday because i'm going on a camp.
Today was day 1 so everything was easy and relaxed. I had art where I finished an individual piece which I really liked, and then started in a group project which we didn't even start on until 30 minutes of discussion (loud argument). There was a very artsy person in our group who was very organized and decided to not start on anything until we agreed on an idea which probably wouldn't have happened that fast if the other people in our group didn't just start working. At the end we had a very good idea but it kind of defied the purpose of the project. In pe we had a field hockey skills test on which I got 17/18 which was nice since I got 3.5/5 last time I had a test, but I was mad for losing that one mark since I missed the goal by 10 cm. I presented my weather forecast skit during french, and the usual events happened: the teacher decided to pick on a thing she never made clear, other students who weren't being picked on decided to pick on the fact she never picked on it, eventually leading to a cheesy lecture about irresponsible students who decide to do badly in class. In math I got to skip the last 30 minutes to go to cross country which I was very thankful for, although cross country was painful as well but in a more beneficial way. Today I finished my science lab report and will skim through socials again and then work on my applied skills drawing which I am far from done.
Today was m.y. day and in applied skills we went to an assembly which started off interesting, but at the end it got very boring. In science I got my science fair project approved and got an improved mark by 3 marks as well. We had a test on which I did ok on since I didn't study. In english we marked some work and finished our set of questions. I did my current events in socials and I was very nervous about it, though I did alright. Today I plan to study for socials and some m.y. homework.
Today in art I almost finished my silhouette project which I will finish next class. In pe it was raining so we got to stay inside and play soccer, which was not necessarily a good thing since I received 2 skin burns. In french, we practiced our weather skits for 10 minutes and then had one of the most normal classes we've ever had. We didn't do any math during math class, since our teacher decided to talk to us about matters we weren't usually able to openly talk about, so it was interesting mostly because we didn't do any work. Today I will finish up my m.y. homework due tomorrow and some science lab work.
