Oh my. Christmas Eve is here already! It's just so fast. I can't believe it. It seems like just a week ago that I first started High School. So today, I headed to my favourite place, the library. Did I mention how much I love the library? The smell of the books, the thrill of picking a perfect book for the holidays, the sound of books being checked out. I just love it all. I love going through the library, seeing whatever books that are available. Usually I come home with my bag filled with books. So I stayed there for a loong hour, flipping through books, reading the books, and finally, taking out a whole bunch. Then I got picked up. Sigh. If only the library was closer to home, I would go visit it every day. But when I came home, surprise! My dad had planned a scavenger hunt so we had to find his Christmas gift to us. We searched everywhere. The clues was that it was downstairs, and that it looked out of place. We searched for a long time before I noticed a clear bowl near the windowsill. I wondered why there was a bowl there, so I walked closer. What I found out was that, yes, it was a bowl. But there was something INSIDE it. And guess what it was? A turtle! A real live, pet turtle. Really, it was for my brother. We were thinking of buying him a turtle as a pet, since my sister and I already own a hamster each. I was so surprised, though. It was swimming around, and then it went up to the rocks to bask under the heat lamp. My brother is still thinking of a name for it. I hope it doesn't get a weird name.
