Coyote

This morning I saw a coyote on Langara golf course! I was practicing and picking up my golf balls when my mom called out to me. Of course I was a bit far away from her so I didn't really know what she wanted to tell me. As I walked closer I could hear she say: "There's a coyote behind you." I was like :OOOOOOO Then I turned my head around and not far from me there was a coyote! It was big and fluffy and fast. I was very curious and excited to see the coyote (Never seen one so close before!) but a bit scared as well, so I picked up some golf balls and clutched onto my club in defense position. The coyote probably saw that so he changed his direction. He wandered into a nearby bush for a bit, then wandered back. A golf cart drove closer and it was the maintenance person. The coyote heard the noise the cart made and he disappeared into the bush! It was a great sighting. The coyote really looked like a fluffy husky.

Wow...

It's the end of grade 9 already. Fast, isn't it?

I am not going to say goodbye to Blogger yet. This old pal has been with me for two years now, and I am not gonna let it go. I will still blog, but maybe less frequent (not much as I use to). I still feel a bit emotional right now. Synergy is over! Only two short years, and how I treasured these two fantastic years! I will never forget anyone in our Synergy cult.

I can't believe school is out already! After report card summer break will officially begin! I have a lot of plans for the summer. Just this afternoon, I am going to an art exhibition with my mom. During the summer I will work on math, writing, piano and volunteering work. I am so excited! For the past few years I've matured a lot and gained a lot of experience. I can really feel that I am growing up now. This feeling is slightly creepy but fun as well. This is going to be a wonderful summer.

Synergy Party

Woot! What a nice Synergy party we had this afternoon! Yummy pizzas, delicious cookies, okay-ish salads and good pops! Me very full. ME GUSTA. Then we watched Socials Network! What a cool movie. Nerds are cool. Harvard is awesome!

It's so sad we will be grade 10 next year and the our Synergy group will dissolve into the Pre-IB crowds. It's been two fantastic years, my awesome Synergy classmates!

K, time to talk about some of my dreams.

I am listening to Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies now. I love all of them! My dream is to play them on the piano! I think my skill has to be really, really, awesomely good in order to master the rhasodies. I am going to resume playing piano after Friday. I need to prepare for ARCT!

Soccer!

Gah just finished soccer and now my face is all red (tomato). Today we had such a good game! It was really fun and intense. I wish the weather was a little bit more cloudy, because the sun was kinda drying everyone up. I like defense. Colliding with people is so scary (especially if they are taller than you)! But it was so fun. The two soccer balls made it even harder...I ran around a lot this afternoon. So tired right now! Gah I am writing my blog in fragments. Anyways, tooooo tired to write properly. Came back and ate a bag of lychees and a mango and a mini-pizza. Still not full. Gotta eat more. I think one more mango will do.

The Worm

I forgot to talk about this, but yesterday while I was walking home from tutoring, I saw a crow. The crow was actually not far away from me (3 feet?) It was weird, because usually if you get really close to a crow it would fly off quickly. But that one didn't. It hopped a little and picked something off the ground. I got closer to the crow and it was on the grass and it dropped the thing and moved away. I saw it. It was a fat, juicy worm! The worm was moving so fast, trying to dig its way back underground. I could almost hear it say :" OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I ALMOST DIED OMGOMG OMGOMGOMG HALLELUJAH OMGOMGOMOGMOMOGMOGMOGM". So there. I saved a worm.

Blueberries

MY FAVORITE FRUIT <3

I bought a box of blueberries this afternoon and ate them in the car. I WAS SO HUNGRY. THE BLUEBERRIES TASTED SOOOO GOOD.

I love blueberries.

Anyways, I was also reading a book called Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. I am also reading another book called the Clockwork Orange. That is one hard book.

Hmm

Hehe, I finally finished my French oral test today! I think I did good. Anyways, we are going to have our socials, math, and science finals next week. The science finals is on Monday so I have to use my time during the weekends wisely. Right now I have some theory homework to finish and some math stuff to do. I can't wait for school to be over! There are so many things I want to do! I want to drawwwwwww. GAH. But right now, looks like studying is on top of my list. Priority. Go program. Yes.

FITNESS TESTSSSSS

Ha, notice how I said "Fitness TestS?" That's right, I had TWO fitness tests today! The first one was at school. We did it during PE and I was proud of my scores. Other than my shuttle run and my height (which shrank two cm, apparently) I improved in every category!!! So proud of myself. I did 46 sit-ups!!! :p I am slowly getting stronger! THEN. I HAD THE TOUGHEST FITNESS TEST IN GOLF. Here's a list of what we did:

-how many push-ups you can do in a minute
-how many sit-ups you can do in a minute
-how far can you do a crocodile crawl in a minute (crocodile crawl is basically like you are lowered into pushup position, arms bent and you move with your toes. Extremely tiring and hard.)
-how many frog jumps you can do in a minute (frog jump is when you have two golf clubs spaced far apart and you have to jump over them. If you step on club it doesn't count)
-how many arm-to-knee alternating planks you can do in a minute
-how far can you toss a medicine ball in golfing position in a minute
-how far can you hit a super heavy bean bag thing with your golf club in a minute
-how many (I forgot the name, but it's like you are holding a heavy medicine ball with your arms stretched out and you are in lunging position and you turn your body sideways. Hard stuff) in a minute
-how many bunker jumps you can do in a minute (HARD. It's basically jumping vertically from sand to the edge of bunker. You can't be too much on the edge or it doesn't count)

That's how much stuff we had to do (I might've forgotten one or two more activities). Hard stuff! I was soooo exhausted at the end. I couldn't do my push-ups properly and I ended up doing only 12. My arms were just flimsy. Same with the alternating plank. These things were the hardest to do because we did them at the end. Everyone was pretty tired by then. My best activity was the golf club hitting bean bag one. I hit the furthest! Yay. I was soooo tired. When we came home, we quickly stopped by Starbucks to grab a cup of white chocolate mocha. They were almost gonna close when we rushed in. YESSSSSSSS. Tonight I want to finish all my work quickly and get a good night's sleep. I have a feeling Imma fall out of bed tomorrow and my muscles will be all sore.

Ouch

I accidentally hit my ankle with my golf club!!! Ow it hurts so badly now. The cold weather just made it worse. Anyways, we are going to have the English finals tomorrow and French oral test on Friday. Uggggghhhh. I am looking forward to next next week, when we can stay at home and have some rest. These days I am really really tired. For example, this afternoon when I got home I was soo tired I fell asleep. I usually sleep past 12:00am these days and I don't really think that's good for me. Tonight I am going to finish my bio booklet and study the terms for English. I will try to sleep before 12:00am. Wish me luck!

Happy!

I am sooo happy today! I finished most of my assignments. I handed in my story map and I think I did a pretty good job. Pat pat. The reason I am writing this blog right now is because I am going to my writing class at 7:00pm and that takes up 2 Hrs of my night. I still have to finish up some extracurricular assignments, e.g. my theory homework. We have our English finals on Thursday and I want to do good for that test. The French oral is on Friday. Still a lot of work to do!!! This afternoon when I get home I need to write three compositions for my writing class-----a quote reflection, a summary of a travel article and a story about REASONS I WILL NOT GET OUT OF BED. ''-.-

Reasons I Will Not Get Out of Bed:
Mehhhhhhh.
Soooooooo tired....
Get away from meee
RAWR.

The bed has taken me as a hostage!!!
Evil pillows muffle my desperate scream for help.
The morning sunlight slowly seeps in
To watch me suffer.

My date with homework did not go so well yesterday...
It was a long dinner.
The bill was pricey.
I am literally bankrupt.

I owe the Bank of Sleep a huge sum of money
And now they have sent their best assassin
Laziness
To murder meeeeeeeee

Grrrrrrr
Hurrrr
Derrrrrrp
Merrrrrrp

Memes

Btw, I also found a cool video about the moon under the science category of Memebase. Not sure if its legit though. But worth checking out!

What do you think about the video?

Okay, now to talk about my day. It's a pretty good day overall. We had the French presentation and I think we did fine. The math quiz was good, and I am happy I am on the list for 11E next year! Socials was excellent, because we got our Industrial Revolution test back! All these hours of translating the textbook into Chinese finally paid off. I got a good mark!Lawlz K gotta go now, have to study for the upcoming science test tomorrow!

working day

I've been working a lot today! I finished my story map and now I am writing the answers to the 2nd part of the assignment. I am so proud of myself! I also finished the socials map and my math homework. After I finish the entire English assignment I am gonna practice my French presentation. I also want to finish up some writing assignments from my writing class, so I don't have to worry about them tomorrow night. On Tuesday we will have a science test and I want to study really hard for it. There are so many things to do right now! I don't want to stay up very late tonight so I am gonna get back to work now. I will write more when I have more time!

Busy

We will be very busy for the next two weeks, with all the assignments due and finals and all that. I am cancelling my tutoring for two weeks so I can have time to study and prepare for all these things. Gah. Looks like no TV for two weeks until we finish all the exams! Grade 9 is going by so fast! After summer we will be grade 10s and we will be so old!!! I remember when I was in grade four and I looked upon the grade 6s and I was like"WOAH THEY ARE SOOOO OLD" and now I am like "OMG I AM OLD". Noes. I don't know why, but all teachers seem to pile a bunch of assignments all together and try to turn us into cats. Nuuuuuuu. Speaking of which, I am kinda glad we finished Langara last time, because if we do it today, I would be sooo tired I don't even think I can run. Last night I stayed til 2:30am to finish up my science homework, since I came home at around 9:00pm from golf. Tonight I am only gonna have 1 Hr of piano and 2 Hrs of math, and the rest of the time I shall finish my theory homework and do some English stuff. I am gonna be pretty busy, and this is why I am writing this blog right now, so I can have more time to study tonight.
