On May the 3rd-7th, most of the french students went to Quebec to learn french. The trip to Qubec was really fun! This was not my 1st time to Quebec, it was my 2nd time, and i liked this time way better. My favoutire thing about this trip was the circus school. The circus was so fun! We did flips and and jumps. I liked the trampoline. It was so FUN! The akward things about our teacher/ training was that he pinched my cheeck and he winked at our whole group. hehehe... Akward. Well the whole entire trip was really FUN. I'll upload some pictures on my blog later. YOU MUST GO TO QUEBEC !

The power of candy!

I went to Grove city ,in USA, again because of my family reunion. This time was more fun than last time when only my family went, because there were more people with us and we went to many other places besides shopping everyday.The bad thing about this time was that we didn't shop as many things as last time because we bought everything we needed to on Christmas when my family went. All I bought was a pair of shorts and 2 t-shirts. At the first night, when we just arrived, our cousin took us to a restaurant to eat steak. When we we ordered our food and then got our food, it tatsed like salt more than any kind of food. It was so salty that it was SPICY!!!!!! And their water had some kind of thing floating on top, but the mashed potatoes tasted awesome!The next day we went shopping, for the whole entire day! We shopped so much that we got tired. The kool thing was that i ate teriaki chicken in the food court. It was YUMMY! The whole trip was really fun, execpt for the part when i was sleeping and SOMEONE was SNORING..........dad................

On Tuesday, I went to the hospital to measure myself because i was going to get a braist for my back. A braist is this thing that can hold and support your back so it will be more straighter or to not curve as much. Later these two people covered me in cement so they can get the shape of me and my back. First it was freezing cold, then when it got harden, it was warmer. It was warmer because my body heat was trapped inside the cement.
Later it was a total mess. The cement got harder and harder. It was so hard for me to breathe. The cement dried very fast. Then one person used a sort of dull knife to cut the cement. After 10 minutes, the cement was off of me and I was covered in thin, small cement pieces. When I ripped it off of my skin, I would always yell "AAAHHHHH yyyaaaaa~!!!!!"
The people gave my a towel and i wipped myself clean.

YAH!!!! March breack is here/coming... My march break isn't really packed but i might do a lot of exciting things.
Tomorrow I'm going to make dumplings! but i don't really know why, but my mom just wants to. I love dumplings!
On Tuesday I'm going to Sick Children Hospital-again... but on the way, i'm going to the Eaton centre! I heard that on the March break, there's going to be a sale.
On Wednesday, i'm going to play piano(basically piano classes).
On Thurday, i might go to the wave pool with my freinds. The wave pool is sooooooo FUN!! Whenever there is a wave, My freinds and i always go to the end of the pool to play.
And on Friday, well..... i might go and play basketball or soccer. Most Friday nights, i go play sports and it's tiring

On Friday around 2:30, it was time to play our piano pieces. In total, there were 7 competiters, trying to aim for getting a gold and trying to get 1st, 2nd or either 3rd. Everyone seemed so pro! Them when it was my turn, i was the only person to say the piece that i was going to play! Probably the ajudicator gave me an extra piont because of that. Haha. Well the final results were....
1:this girl who got 90%!
2: this girl who got 87%
3:Me! who got 86%
then there were other people. They all sounded really well, everyone got gold execpt for 1 or 2 people. I was quite happy, because my teacher said that as long as you get a gold, i'm happy, so i should be happy, and i am.

One day, i was at Mars, and it was in the cavemen years. I was making fire. Suddenly fire started squirting out from the outer core! In less than 2 hours, Mars was going to explode! Everyone was saying good-bye to everyone. Then I got an idea! If only we can make a fire proof escape pod... Then i told everyone and they said it was a good idea. Later, less than an hour, we have managed to build it. We packed a lot of food and a lot of people. We all cramed in shut the door and all we heard from inside was a BOOM! I looked outside the window. Our home planet has been destroyed. I waited , and waited and waited for 3 hours. Suddenly, BAM! We have landed on something. It looked like Mars, but it was bigger. I was the first one to step out of the pod, everyone gasped. Later everyone was enjoying their second home planet.
Then I woke up! And it was all a dream.

Today we faced Kelsey and this time, guess what? We won 2 of the games! YAH!!! Angela was sssssooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing!!!!!!! Her underhand serves were fast, low and it was in the court! Mr.Gardener said that no one has ever beaten Kelsey like this as the first game because in the first game, the score was 25-16(or something like that). The game was a tought game, but not really a long game. The game was pretty short because we won two of the games! YAH!!!

On Saturday, after eating supper early, we dicided to swim in my gramma's apartment. After swimming, we all went to take a shower. At first, the water was warm and hot. Suddenly when i changed the hot water to a bit more hotter, then the water was like freezing cold!!!!!!!! At that time I was only putting soap onto my body! OHMAN!!! I wanted to change stalls so badly, until i heard all the other girls screaming as well. So then i just took scopps of water to wash myself. Trust me, it was horrible!

On Sunday at around 2 o'clockish, we had to go to the piano retical. First when i got there to change and sit down, i was very calmed down, but as soon it was almost my turn, my hands were shaking, turning yellowish-red, my feet couldn't stop shaking and my heart was pounding so hard! When i got up on the stage i almost forgot my piano title thing. It was so scary. When i played the song i played so fast that my hands can't control to slow it down. I screwed up so badly. Oh well, there's always a next year (let's just hope there isn't).

Uh huh... life's like this
.Uh huh, uh huh,
that's the way it is
.'Cause life's like this.
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
.Chill out, whatcha yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before.
And if, you could only let it be...
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're talkin' to me one-on-one,
But you've become--
Somebody else 'round everyone else
You're watchin' your back,
Like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool--you look like a fool to me.
Tell me,Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin' like you're somebody else
Gets me frustratedmy life's like this, you--
You fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take what you get,
and turn it into honesty
You promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no...
You come over unannounced,
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you are and where it's at, you see,
You're making me
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes,
You know you're not fooling anyone when you've become
Somebody else around everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool--you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin' like you're somebody else
Gets me frustratedmy life's like this, you--
You fall, and you crawl, and you break,
And you take what you get, and turn it into honesty
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no...(No, no, no...)
Chill out, whatcha yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before.

Remeber how I said that i'm going to try not to fall? Well please don't take that for serios. Today I fell so much. In the begining it was really fun and exciting but wehn you fall too much, it's not that much anymore. But it was still fun. We had 2 tests to see if u could do what they were teaching you. They taught us how to swich sides. In the begining i fell A LOT. I flipped over, rolled over. Once i fell so in such i long distance by rolling down that i laughed so hard. Near the middle/ end, i started to get how to swich sides! YAH!!! But in the end, my butt and my socks got wet. Oh man, my butt hurts! But then the bad thing is that the food there are really expensive. One poutine was for 5 dollars!! WOWO! BUt the good thing was that it tasted really good.

Today's game was really tough. The Henry kelseys' were quite strong. Most of the times the ball went back and forth. Julie was an awesome spiker, practically none can get the ball that she spikes. In the first round, the kelsey's won. In the second round, we won! then in the third round..........the kelsey's won. The last round ended up to 15- 7. We lost just by 8 points. It was like a tie game but it was really fustrating. Well tomorrow i'm going snowbaording! YAY!!! I can't wait until tomorrow!!!

Whoa! It's 2010 already! Three I want to accomlish for 2010 is... to get the honor roll for these two last terms for grade 7. Last time i got pretty cole but i still didn't get it, but this time i hope i get it. Well the other one is that I 'll try not to slip and fall when i go snowboarding. On January the 26th, 130 students (i think ) will go skiing or snowboarding. This time will be my first time to go snowboarding! Wish me luck. My last one is to get better at playing soccer. Although i'm only OK at playing soccer i still wish to be better. I hope i make it to the soccer team at SAM. Well i hope i don't forget these accomplishments because last year our teachers made us do these and the next 2 days... I totally forgot about it.

10... 9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1! YAH! Happy New Year! Good bye 2009, and hello 2010! On Decmeber the 31th, my family and I went to our church to celebrate the new 2010. Everything was amazing especially the food we got to eat and the movie that my freinds and I watched. The movie that we watched was "UP". That movie was really exciting but some parts were sad.THe food there was awesome! My freind's mother made sticky rice with mushroom, leek, sausages and sesame seeds on top. Everything was going very fine. The only thing went wrong was the timing of the countdown. The adults led the whole church to countdown, but they were 10 seconds late! All the kids knew because my watch, my friend's cell phone and my brother's cell phone was the same as CP24 and it beeped and the same time. My watch beeps every one hour. But oh well, atleast everything else turned out really well.
