T2 B73: So much data...

I didn't wake up for skating until I got a phone call from my cousin. Good thing, or I would have slept right through it. I was so rusty during skating today, I haven't skated for 2 weeks. So Lianna and I spent the whole lesson to re-teach me "proper" cross-overs. I got it after a couple of minutes, but I forget how it should feel so quickly after I learned it. So I spent the rest of my practice session doing crossovers over and over and over again...

I felt so relaxed, so I rested for a bit after that. Then the science fair stress came back, and I worked on that. I looked at my log book, and then realized that I had so much data to analyze. I have to average my 3 repetitions for each trial, and then average all three trials to get the summary for the whole experiment. I spent so much time organizing my data. I also got my board today, and came up with an ok title for my science fair. It's not as much as I wanted accomplished today, but I'm still determined to do everything I can tomorrow so I won't have to stay up...

T2 B72: A lot of catching up!

Today was mostly working on work, and trying to catch up to everything, which still isn't very caught up yet. At least I've caught up on most of my blogs, and I hope I'm not missing any!
I had tutoring to do, and then I went to my tutor, so that was a busy morning. Since I still had time, I finished some of my science lab there, and managed to plan out some of my graphs! I'm pretty happy to be making some progress on science fair. Tomorrow I'm planning to finish typing up my abstract and most of my paragraphs. I'll finish recording data in my log book, since my last experiment officially ends tomorrow, and then I'll make my graphs, too! Then I'll spend Monday putting things together. Putting things together seems really easy, and less time consuming, but it really isn't. That was a big lesson learned last year, and I really don't want to repeat that. Hurray! I feel so much more assured and less stressed having a plan, even though I know that I'll have to work hard at it for it to actually work. And that means that I won't be able to enjoy that lovely sunshine. Hmm...maybe a little walk to relieve stress might be nice for tomorrow...
Catching up...slowly,
Dapple Grey

T2 B71: Pro-D

Whoa, I actually overslept this morning. I was really surprised to find sunlight streaming through the windows! I can't believe it! It's like I haven't seen the sun for such a long time! I had a late lunch, and then worked on my English project and some of Science Fair! I feel like I can actually finish by the due date and not stay up!
It felt great to have a whole day to look forward to, the whole day free to do whatever I wanted to do.
Then in the afternoon, Calvin came over. I might as well explain. I'm an accompanist for Calvin (my former violin teacher's student) who is going to take his violin exam. It's right on science fair day, so I'm only going to be at school for half a day that day. We played over our 4 pieces, which weren't that hard I guess. I just need a lot more practice, because I wasn't sure of the tempo. He's going to come again for practice tomorrow night, and hopefully I won't be too horrible then.
We had a quick dinner, because it was getting late. But then I got more time to catch up on work! Now I feel so much more happier about my work! Gotta keep this up!
Good night!

T2 B70: Just Dance!

This morning was a storm. I woke up later than usual, and I had to run around the house, getting ready for school. But I still made it early!

I'm getting pretty used to the dance we're learning in Applied Skills. Last class I was still kind of confused, but we've practiced it so many times today, I don't think I'll ever forget it! But I still wish we got the dance video sent to us so we could study it at home...

For French we had our big dreadful test, and turns out that it wasn't as dreadful as I thought it would be! We only had to say about 3 sentences in French, and that was it! We also have this really fun fashion show project to work on, and my team is Mimi, Carina, and Alex! I can't wait to see how it turns out! We're going to have so much fun working on it!

And then came the Math class at the end of the day, which I'm pretty sure I came close to flunking. The multiple choice part was really easy, but the word questions just confused me so much. I didn't even come close to finishing the bonus question! And the worst part of it all? Right after class, everything came flooding back to me! Grrr...I checked my updated mark. I'm barely surviving! I guess I'll have to work a lot harder from now on! 

I've also thought about doing Senior Band Off timetables next year. I mean, I could follow my mom in the morning, since she leaves earlier, and since she picks me up later, after school would be no problem! I just have to see if the times work out! Too bad I'll miss the first day of course planning!

It's a Pro-D tomorrow! I can't wait to...work?

T2 B69: Little Raccoon

This morning, on the way to school, we saw this little creature dart across the road. My dad swerved so he wouldn't hit it, and we later saw that it was a little raccoon. It was a little raccoon, but it was crossing the big Cambie street. I kind of felt sorry for it, because it was so out of place, and I really hope it didn't get hit! It makes me kind of sad to see all sorts of wildlife being in danger!

Today was the last day of gymnastics testing for P.E., and I gotta admit, I'm really going to miss having fun with all those equipment. I really wished I wasn't so scared to try the equipment at the beginning, because they all seem so easy to me now! Vaulting, pommel horse, and balance beams were so awesome! I've never felt so comfortable during P.E. class. I guess the next unit is Volleyball! That sounds fun too, since we've only gotten one week of Volleyball last year!

Dapple Grey

T2 B68: No more walking

Blah. Turns out that the Day 1 schedule isn't as great as Day 2, but it's still ok, I guess. We learned our applied skills dance today, and it was kind of awkward at first, but by the end, we all got the hang of it. We're getting crash-courses on this dance, so I hope I get how to do this dance before we actually have to dance! Yikes! It'll be horrible getting lost in the dance while it was being filmed! My mom also changed her work schedule, so now she leaves home really early, but she ends work earlier too. She can pick me and my sibling up from school, so we don't have to walk anymore! The bad part is, I'll have to find something to do in the hour I'm waiting.
Dapple Grey

T2 B67: Block Rotations!

Whoa, I feel so much better today! It was like my sickness was almost cured! It was like being sick only for the weekend! At least I know that I'll be alert and ready to work this week. So many projects to weigh me down! But I have my trusty agenda, and a nice schedule planned out, so I'm more than ready to tackle my assignments! Oh yeah, we had block rotations today, so it's kind of disorientating. I have to think before heading to my next class, because it'll be really embarrassing marching into the wrong class! At least the teachers will be understanding!
Day 2s work out pretty well for me. I hope tomorrow's a great day as well!
Dapple Grey

T2 B66: Stay at home day

I was getting worse, so my mom cancelled my skating practice today. I actually slept until 11:30, such a big record for me! I almost never sleep past 10 now, because I can't. I guess I was so tired, and I really needed the rest. I do feel much better now though! I still have a runny nose, and a little headache. During piano, while I was waiting for my siblings, I felt like I was overheating. I probably had a mini-fever raging inside me, but it was over by the time piano lessons were finished. Oh yeah! Today was our last piano lesson before my teacher leaves for Italy for 3 weeks. Her daughter is getting married! Congrats to her! This also means that we get to skip three piano lessons! I'll be free on Sundays for a while! Good thing too, because I really need to catch up on some work!
I'm feeling sleepy now, and that headache is getting worse! :(
Dapple Grey

T2 B65: Sick?

Oh no, I'm starting to feel sick...I've felt bad a little yesterday, because I could almost feel the sickness taking over me. I had a little headache, but nothing compared to today. All through tutoring, I was sniffling, so I hope I really didn't annoy my student too much. Now, near the end of the day, I feel so tired, and my headache is getting worse. At least I've done the work I needed to complete for the weekend! I feel so sleepy now...
Good early night! (For once)
Dapple Grey

T2 B64: Business Projects!

Oh no, I just remembered that the Business Projects are due soon! Our company is so slow in getting products delivered or designed. But that's because we're putting so much pressure on April. She's the only one in our company we knows and is skillful at designing our products, so we have to wait until she's finished the product until we can deliver them. Thanks April!
I'll have to get my group (Jessie as CEO, don't worry I'm not taking over!) together soon!
Dapple Grey

T2 B63: English Test

Yay! I'm so confident about my English test today! The studying strategy actually works, because I mostly remembered everything I needed to know. My friends helped a lot, because I remember them correcting me when I answered questions wrong during our review sessions. I wrote a lot for the written part of the test, and always ran out of room near the bottom. But overall, I think I'll do great!
How do teachers stand having to mark so many essays and tests?
Dapple Grey

T2 B62: Math Contests

So I've officially signed up for the Kayley Math Contest. I know this is going to be pretty hard, since it's at the Grade 10 level, and I don't have much practice with math contests. This is going to be a fun challenge, and I hope I don't get too discouraged on the online practice contests!
I know I won't do that well, but I still want to try my best!
Dapple Grey

T2 B61: Tests!

English test coming up soon, on everything I've learned. This one is actually scaring me a bit. I hope I'm going to be prepared, because it seems like it'll take a lot of studying and writing. Oh! This will be a great way to test out my new studying routine! I'll studying a little too nights before, a little the night before, and then have a little review session with friends. I tend to remember what my friends say more than what's written.
Let's see how this turns out!
Dapple Grey

T2 B60: Mimi drawings

So I have these creepy drawings of made up characters all over my agenda. All drawn by Mimi. Sometimes, I flip to a random page and have a mini-heart attack. It's just that the drawings are so weird, limbs and features all stuck together. Especially those worm bodies. There's one smack in the middle of this week's page too.
I hope I don't die by the time I get through the whole year. By that time, my agenda would have probably turned into a drawing book.
Dapple Grey

T2 B59: Skating Exercises

If my mom ever though that figure skating was all about moving your legs and just looking graceful, she was so wrong. There's so many hardships hidden under all that beauty. "Back straight!" "Toes pointed" is kind of all I heard today during our skating exercises. Now my legs feel all tired and jello-y, but it's nice to feel that you've worked hard, and in the end, I got it.
Who knew people could have invented so many ways to practice one skill?
Dapple Grey

T2 B58: Sick people everywhere?

A lot of my classmates and friends are sick. My mom's sick, too. There's probably a flu going around, and everyone's either sniffling or coughing. It's getting pretty hard to avoid all the germs going around. I really don't want to get sick now, especially when it's so close to Science Fair and all these projects are requiring so much attention! I've got to start working hard now, so even if I get sick, I'll be able to complete everything.
Get working! Remember to have good hygiene!
Dapple Grey

T2 B57: Identical Twins

We talked about identical twins in Science today. Turns out that Ms. Jay's husband is a identical twin! It's so interesting! Identical twins really do look so much alike! It's like a cool photo affect, and their image is just reflected! We looked through the National Geographic magazine. It had really cool photos of identical twins! Some looked like reflections of each other, while others only had slight similarities. They looked so alike that it was almost scary!
What would my life have been like if I was an identical twin?

T2 B56:Film Blog

I know, I know. I'm guilty of still not blogging about that film Mr. Olson sent us. I keep having to stop at parts because the film was so long but it's still interesting. I'll finish it around this weekend, and then I'll post it when I have time. For now, homework is chasing me!
Dapple Grey

T2 B55: Maus Project!

So we just received another project. This time for English. At least it sounds kind of fun! We get to do whatever we want! As long as it is all about Maus. I'm thinking of doing a board game with Jessie, but I have many other ideas too! I'll like to work with a partner, it's more creative that way...Maybe I'll do a comic with Mimi!
Can't wait to see where this takes us,
Dapple Grey

T2 B54: Walking home...

Today was just another typical day. Walking home is still tiring, especially when it's drizzling and you don't have an umbrella. But at least we have Yunyi and Celinna as company. It's more fun to be with your friends, who share the same burden: taking transportation for far distances to get home...
Dapple Grey

T2 B53: Genetics!

Yay! I can't believe we're studying genetics! It's one of my favourite areas of science! It's so fun and I actually understand it. Sure, drawing Punnett squares can get really annoying sometimes, but it's so interesting! We did this in Grade 6, most of the stuff we did in class was a review. The homework seems pretty easy, but the best thing was the activity we did in class! We had to compare and see if the class had a dominant or recessive trait for a characteristic. It was so funny watching everyone determine whether they were one or the other. It was fun, and science has become more awesome again!
Dapple Grey

T2 B52: Skating!

So this morning, I reluctantly woke up to go skating. I was feeling so sleepy, but I snapped awake as soon as I got onto the ice. It's always so smooth and awesome at the beginning, and mostly stays that way because there are only private lessons, and there aren't as much people. My cousin and I were warming up, and even when we were finished, my instructor still didn't come. It turns out that she couldn't make it today, so we just had a practice session to practice our moves. It's a good thing too, since my skills were getting a little rusty. I got back on track, and I'm ready to have my lesson next week.

Hopefully, I won't forget everything by then,

Dapple Grey

T2 B51: Just the usual

It was a usual Saturday. Usual tutoring. Usual being tutored. Then wait! Something different!
Some of used-to-be violin teacher's students came to my house to do their theory exams. My mom qualifies as kind of a supervisor for them, so she was supervising them the whole time. It was pretty interesting, since they worked under a different music organization, where as I've always stuck to the RCM exams. I've always been to different centers for my exams.
Dapple Grey

T2 B50: Math Tests?

Ms. Knott's math tests are so unique. She always has these questions at the end that really tests your math skills. I barely had time to finish my math tests, and near the end, I had random answers which I was pretty sure didn't make any sense. Oh well, at least the rest of my test was ok?
For socials we have two new projects. I'm doing a project on Harriet Tubman, and then we have to do yet ANOTHER essay test on Napoleon. I really have no opinion  of him right now. All I remember from what I've read, was that he was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo and then exiled.
Things are starting to build up. A storm is heading my way.
Dapple Grey

T2 B49: Science Fair Update

Whoa, we've never tried this before. I guess it's just a reminder to everyone that Science Fair isn't very far away.  We had a science fair update, where we just told Ms. Jay what our progress was. I've seen some people rushing their experiments or rushing to start them, just so they could have something to say today. Also, she gave us some feedback, and suggested some changes. Thankfully, my project was ok, and didn't really need major changes.
I would have died if I had to start over now,
Dapple Grey

T2 B48: Socials Essay Test!

Oh no, today was the day we all dreaded. We had to take our second essay test, on the French Revolution. It's great that Mr. Martin's doing this, preparing us for Pre-IB (that is, if I even get in), but essay tests are so stressful! Even with printed notes! I hope I do well on this, but I'm not so confident. This was a pretty tough and unexpected topic, especially since we only could write about a topic. We couldn't pick the topic choice, it was just given.
Now I dread the day I get my essay back,
Dapple Grey

T2 B47: Science Fair Work Block

Thankfully, Ms. Jay gave us time to work on our Science Fair. This was much needed, because I still had to chop some vitamin for my science project. I took the whole of today's class and I'll probably need to take next class to work on it, too. Thankfully she gave us TWO blocks to work on it!
I despise razor blades. I accidentally cut my finger while cutting vitamin. Don't worry, my finger's still attached to my hand, it just...stings.
I'll just stick to smashing them into bits,
Dapple Grey

T2 B46: So much homework again...

Socials timeline quiz today. But I've studied so hard yesterday, I'm really confident that I got near perfect. This is one of those times where you've studied so much, you don't think anything you wrote could have been wrong. Sigh, I wish I was this confident during all my tests. But I guess that means I'll have to improve my studying habits. This time was only different because I actually took time to sit down and study, and then have a review session with friends. Normally I would be sitting in bed late at night, trying to memorize all the facts while half drooping off to sleep. I guess I have to take more time to actually study, so at least it'll stay in my brain!
No more tests please,
Dapple Grey

T2 B45: Sleep in!

I got to sleep in again, but it's the last time, since I have skating the next week again. Don't get me wrong. Skating's really fun, and it helps with flexibility and feeling confident. But it takes so much dedication, both figure skating and hockey practices take place early morning, requiring waking up super early. Of course it pays off though, you really do feel more graceful and confident in the end. As much as I wish I didn't have to get up early in the morning, I feel glad afterwards that I did!
Figure skating is the ultimate sport for us petites!

T2 B44: Hamster Training

I've decided to train my hamster, since it's been terrified of people ever since we've got it. It's a Robo hamster, one of the smallest and fastest kinds. But it's also one of the hamsters that are the most nervous, and very skittish. My brother named it Tarzan, while my sister named hers Hickory. Since they love food so much, I place it onto my hands, so they would run over and eat the food on my hand. It's working, but I want to keep working on it, so eventually they'll hop on, even if there's no food.
It's too bad they only live for 2 or 3 years, so much heartbreak to live through!
Dapple Grey

T2 B43: End of First Week

Hurray! We all survived our first week back at school. I've got to admit, it wasn't so bad! I'm been glad to be able to talk to my friends again, and it's so great to see them! I guess I've missed their cheerfulness during the break, but at least we have our chats online! I can't wait to enjoy the weekend, even if it'll seem incredibly short compared to Winter Break!
Nothing can get in my way!

T2 B42: Looking Back

Today I felt like reading some of my old blogs from last year. Whoa, they were so different. Like my first post ever, it was so formal, and so awkward sounding...It seemed so limited, so less freeing...It was like I knew that people were going to read it, and I didn't want to talk much. I seemed so different to the person I am today. But I wonder if that was good or bad? Have I changed for the better? I hope so. I've definitely tried to go back and tackle some of my weak points that were shown last year. Now I feel so much more comfortable at school, not being at the bottom, those scared/uncertain grade 8s!

Maybe one day I'll look back at this post....

Dapple Grey

T2 B41: Comics!

Whoa, so our next chapter in English is going to be on comics. No kidding. This is pretty interesting, because most of the English classes throughout my life have almost never brought up comics. It's been poetry, newspapers, novels, nonfiction, but never comics. What does English have against comics? Or is it that they want it to waiting for later grades? Is it too modern that the teacher doesn't know have to teach it? Anyways, our comic that we're reading is Maus. I've read both books in grade 6, and I still remember it. That's how good it was. Also horrifying in a way. But I've always loved the book, and I get to learn it again!
Dapple Grey

T2 B40: Homework already!

Sigh, I've got homework already. But hey! It's not a lot! The good thing about coming back from break, is that the teachers feel the same way, about having to work again. They usually don't give us that much homework. Maybe they don't like to admit it, but having little homework is not only easier for the students, it's also better for the teachers, not having much to mark. I'll be enjoying little homework as best as I can before a big project storm hits!
Dapple Grey

T2 B39: New Year's Cleaning

Yay, now that I've gotten a lot of new things, from Christmas, as well as those winter shopping trips, I can't wait to be able to make my room all clean and tidy! I'm going to feel more relaxed and comfortable after, even though cleaning my room is hard work. At least it's small! It's a good thing I've pushed myself to do all my homework in the beginning of the break, or else I'll be rushing all of it right now, which would have been horrible!
I'll spend the rest of my day relaxing, so I'll be all clean and fresh tomorrow!
I'm ready to face school again!
Dapple Grey

T2 B38: New Year's Resolutions

I guess everyone's writing about their resolutions, so I might as well.
1. Get into IB. I actually really really want to. It's not just my parents. I know some people who only wanted to get into Churchill so they have a better shot at IB. But sometimes I pity them, because it's only what their parents want, not want they want, which should matter a lot more. I hope I get in, as well as the rest of my friends! Sometimes I get really confident about getting in, and other days I think I've ruined my chances. I don't know, let fate decide!
2. Get more sleep. Ha, this one I've been trying to work on forever. It's just the sleeping earlier that I need to work on. Maybe now that it's one of my resolutions, it'll seem more real to me, and I'll work harder on trying to stay healthy.
3. Go volunteer! I really want to find an volunteering opportunity. I remember volunteering at the stables, that was such a big win-win, because I was a great help around the barn during summer camp, and for me, I could spend as much time around horses, every day, too! But that's really not a choice anymore, since my parents don't really want to drive all the way over to the other side of the city, just so I could ride and volunteer. I guess it's been pretty expensive, and they've been pretty fair about acknowledging my wishes.
Sigh, but a girl can dream. Maybe one day....
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

T2 B37: New Year's Eve

New Year's just around the corner. I'm getting pretty tired from celebrating, so this blog is going to be short and sweet. My cousin and aunt came over again, and we had a big new year's dinner. My dad's an awesome cook! Don't worry, my mom's not that horrible at cooking, either. It's just they have really different styles of cooking! My cousin left early, since he had some of his own celebrating to do at home. For the rest of us, we had celebratory apple cider again! Yum! And then stayed up from the grand COUNTDOWN! HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!

T2 B36: Art Project

Whoa, my mom borrowed some pretty horse books from the library for me. I can't thank her enough! It's those little children's picture books that are always so beautifully drawn. In my free time, I could re-create some of those pictures, and hang them on my wall! Also, since my mom is an art teacher, and she teaches at home, I can drop in during one of her lessons, and draw beautiful horses as well! I can't wait to start!
My wall and drawing pad will be filled up with horses in no time!

T2 B35: Back to knitting

I'm happy that my mom's liking her scarf, but I've gotten bored again. There's really no point staring at my plants and waiting for them to grow, since I know that they'll grow eventually. So I've decided to knit scarves for myself! I have many different kinds of yarn, I make different coloured scarves, since most of my store-bought scarfs are only white and blue. I can't wait to start on my scarf making project! I'll finally be able to use those yarn balls that have been hanging around since forever.
A girl can never have too many scarves,
Dapple Grey

T2 B34: Waiting...

So I've finally grown my plants, and I'm just waiting for them to grow. I know they can't sprout in one day, but I've counted the days until Science Fair is due, and I haven't got a lot of weeks. It's perfect, if nothing goes wrong. But you can't really predict that nothing's going to go wrong. I guess I'll start my second round half way through the first round. I'll be growing two rounds of plants at the same time, but the weather is perfect, and I have lots of time. I don't want to risk planting plants and watching them die because it's snowing, and the temperature's dropped.
Can't take any risks now,
Dapple Grey

T2 B33: Science Fair

I've been meaning to start on Science Fair soon. I've already gotten the soil I've needed for my plants. I hope this works though, planting my plants in the middle of winter. The good thing is, that the it isn't snowing yet, and doesn't seem to be snowing any time soon. Sigh, at least the temperature is good as well, not as cold as I though it would be. Winters here are getting worse. What's a Vancouver Winter without snow?
Anyways, grow while you can, plants!

T2 B32: Back to playing

Spent the day playing, again. Enough said! :)

T2 B31: An Unusual Christmas

Ok, so it wasn't the pretty White Christmas most of us wanted, but it was still awesome! We wanted to save the presents for later tonight, which we don't always do. We had brunch with my brother's friends' family, and then headed to the Aquarium. Yes, you read it right, the Aquarium. It felt so weird visiting on Christmas day, but it added to the fun of it. No matter how many times we've visited, we've never gotten bored watching the dolphins, or trying to find the camouflaged reptiles. Of course, we visited the 4-D theatre. Turns out that they were releasing a new 4-D film today, the Polar Express. I've already watched it in band last year, but watching it in 4-D was really different. I still recognized some parts, and I can't believe they fit it into a 15-minute film while still covering the whole story with a 4-D experience! It was incredible, and so many happy memories!
Dapple Grey

T2 B30: Family Dinner

So tonight, we had a more personal, close family dinner at our house. My cousin and aunt came over, and we had hot pot dinner. It was pretty good, even though I normally didn't like hot pot much. We did have some celebratory sparkling apple cider, which was always my favourite part! We watched a cute little Christmas movie (I forgot what it was called) and then went to bed a little later. It's so nice being able to sleep late, knowing that the next day, you get to sleep in! This was a pretty enjoyable Christmas Eve! I can't wait for today!
Sigh, tomorrow can't come fast enough,
Dapple Grey

T2 B29: Yummy Dinner

So we had our Christmas dinner early, like always. Some of my relatives own a restaurant, so we usually buy a turkey, and bring it there for dinner. It's always crowded at the restaurant near the holidays, so we always eat our big holiday dinners a long time before the actual holiday. We had turkey, potatoes, and corn with yummy creamy gravy! Sigh, too bad there aren't many big holidays in the spring! But I guess that's because we need something cheerful during these dark gloomy cold months. I can't wait to be able to feel the sun's warmth and watch all the rainy days turn sunny!
But I'll rather slowly experience Christmas first!
Dapple Grey

T2 B28: Presents piling up!

So many presents! Well, I guess that's also because we're a pretty big family, but it makes me so happy, because I remember some years ago, we had barely any to open on Christmas day!
Hmmm, I wonder what's inside, but I'm not tempted to open them....yet.
Can't wait for tons of surprises!
Dapple Grey

T2 B27: 4 more days till Christmas!

YEEEEE! I can't wait! 4 more days until Christmas! I'm getting so excited! I'm thinking of decorating my room in red and green chains, just like what I would have done in elementary school! Sigh, it brings back so many happy memories!
Just 4 more days,
Dapple Grey

T2 B26: Gift Idea

So I was thinking about school, and suddenly knitting came into mind. I have tons of leftover yarn at home, both from the knitting project, and from projects that I've been wanting to do. But it's the perfect winter project when I'm bored at home! I could knit while still being entertained by videos or the TV. But I've got to remember to peel myself away from the screen sometimes...It kills my head when I sit in front of the computer/TV for too long . I've been thinking of making my mom a nice red-ish scarf for Christmas, but I've got to start soon, since I'm going to run out of time. I hope I finish by then!
Dapple Grey

T2 B25: Playing!

Now that I've spent almost a day playing and spending time with my family, I've been feeling so uncomfortably lazy and useless. I have no intention to do any homework, which is killing me, because I know I should still be working hard, even though it's technically a break! I hate feeling so useless and lazy, it drives me so crazy, yet I still do it. WHY?
Gotta at write my blog,

T2 B24: No skating!

Yesss! Now that we've got a break from skating, it's nice to know that I'll be able to sleep in on Sundays. It felt kinda weird, actually, since I've never really gotten a chance to sleep in, except for those rare Pro-Ds. I felt so out of place, getting up so late. It was so different from what I was used to, being at least a little sleepy in the morning, and facing the darkness of the morning. Instead, I get to wake up to the bright sunlight. So different. Maybe I'll just stick with waking up earlier, but sleeping earlier, too, if I can manage that.
Always a Early Bird,

T2 B23: Laziness

Yay! Now that winter break's here, I feel all comfortable and it just feels so wonderful being able to stay home doing almost nothing!
Enjoying my freedom while I can,
