So I worked and worked and worked and I was STILL NOT FINISHED! GAHAHAHHAHAH I was really going insane at that time. I tried so hard to finish off my project but there were so many things to be done! As I have mentioned in my previous blog...I got no sleep. LITERALLY NO SLEEP AT ALL. Carina stayed up with me and she got no sleep either, and we just kept each other's company. I was half brain-dead throughout the night. In the morning I was STILL NOT FINISHED. I rushed the last little bit but overall my project looked really good. I am proud of it. Still, next year I don't wanna repeat this rushing tradition again...D:
I was super alert and hyper when I got to school that morning. I was just so energetic for some reason, and that was a BAD SIGN. I knew it right away. I crashed after lunch and I just felt all light and weird and just really...absent from the world! Basically I was still super alert, but I didn't feel like myself and I was TOTALLY BRAIN DEAD. It was so hard to try to concentrate because my mind was just like bleeehhehehehe. When I got home I just crashed and slept for an hour. Then I had to wake up again for piano lesson. I wasn't doing such a good job because my concerto piece required like dramatic strenght and stuff and I was just weak and weird from the sleepless day. That was really really not good. I went home and quickly ate my dinner and then crashed again at about 8:30pm and just slept 'til morning. When I woke up this morning I still felt a bit weird, but of course it was wayyyy better than yesterday. Ughghghghhg....

Make-Up Blog (1)
Sorry I skipped two blogs in a row! Here are two make up blogs and one blog for today.. But first, lemme talk to you about what happened on Monday, Feb 6th.
IT WAS SCIENCE FAIR WORKING DAY. I had a lot of work to do and it was just killing me. I wasn't able to do work during the weekend because I was occupied with some other events. GAH. So even one day of working time was still not enough for me. I ended doing work all day and even extended my work to the next morning without ANY SLEEP at all. I actually went further this year, considering last year I still got 1 hour of sleep. This year I got NONE. Painful. But my project looked really really nice and I am just really proud of it. Yes. I think my hard work is gonna pay off.
Now then, I shall discuss about the breaking dawn of Feb 7th, the day of which my project was due....in my 2nd make-up blog. :p

SCIENCE FAIR!
You know what...I think I should start putting together my poster board today after mon piano practice. I got all the crafty materials I needed...but not all of the SCIENTIFIC MATERIALS! I still haven't printed some of them out yet. I also need to convey my data into graphs, etc and write the discussion sections, etc. I haven't had time to work on it yesterday because I had a debate tournament. Tonight and the whole day tomorrow is gonna be my "UNDISTURBED SCIENCE FAIR DAY"!! God I wanna finish this fast. I wanna get a good mark on this. :P

St. John's Regionals
So today I attended the regional's debate tournament at St. John's School! My partner Jason and I worked so late yesterday night trying to finish up our notes...and we got a lot of notes! Anyways, we got to the school and before the rounds started they gave us little souvenirs such as a pin and a foldable water bottle. Hhehehe. ANYWAYS.....Let's get to the rounds.
Round 1: Us vs. Vancouver College. Gah. Those guys were pretty good. We came pretty close but unfortunately we lost this round I think. It was the first debate round of the morning so my team was kinda rusty. But we did better in Round 2! It was us vs. Vancouver College again but a different team. I think we might've won this round! The opposition team made some really weird comments which didn't make sense. These two rounds were the prepared rounds. Then we had lunch. Lunch box had a rosemary chicken sandwich with antipesto spread, a cookie + an apple. That was okay. And then we got our impromptu topic. I ALMOST DIDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD FOR THE IMPROMPTU TOPIC. The resolution was: BIRT that fear is the lock and laughter is the key. I was like O.O WUT. Then my partner explained to me and I realized what it meant. We were suppose to model this thing! Ughghghghghghg. First round of impromptu was okay. We were against the Little Flower Academy. I am actually not too sure about that round's result. But it wasn't bad. Then the final round we faced one of the guy we had faced in the UBC tournament! It was Dimos from Eric Hamber! He was a pretty good debater as well. This time he had a new partner (last time his partner was this grade 8 girl named Natasha) I think we won this round, because his partner wasn't that strong.
Anyways, it had been a long day. Although we didn't make it into the provincials, I am still pretty happy with myself. At this stage I am not expected that much of earning places. I am still an amateur and right now it is my learning stage! Going to the regionals at St. John made me learn a lot of things. Another thing I was pretty satisfied with is that I contributed the most useful notes for our team. Weeeee! Overall it was a really good experience. I think I am improving everytime I participate in a debate tournament!

So.little.sleep! On Monday I don't want anything to bother me. I seriously have to have the whole Monday to myself doing science fair >:\

Sad Book
Today I finished this really sad book called "Chinese Cinderella" by Adeline Yen and it made me cry. I could make so many connections and understand the book. It's just so sad. I've never cried to a book like this one before... :'( The ending was very good, but I felt very sad for Adeline because she was struggling to survive in a family of which she was pretty much neglected. The passing of her mother, grandmother and grandpa saddened me the most. I just feel so emotionally right now :'(

Science Fair Board
Today after my theory class me and my dad went to get a science fair board. I wanted a green board with the header board. We went to Staples on Broadway, but unfortunately they only had white and blue ones. That wasn't very good. Then we went to the tiny Staples in Downtown but it was past their operating hours. Then we went to this other big Staples which was in Downtown also and FINALLY I found a green board with header! Weeeeeeeeee ME GUSTA. I am so overjoyed. I also plan to not procrastinate this year, and I think the four-day weekend will help me a lot!
