[My not so distant future]

Ick.. Social's test Wednesday. It's starting to become clearer now. At least I know what's going on.. haha =P.I actually learned something today..go jme.. That may be getting better but man Science is getting so confusing. Getting into all the weird chemistry equations that the basics are becoming screwed up..

Watched our Dec/Jan/Feb issue of FHN news.. PFFT took us 5 months! Man that's slow! We gotta get stuff done in like a couple of weeks..The dvd was kinda messed up. It worked and all but like.. the speech don't match with the people and it kept getting cut off. Ah well. At least we have the first issue out. It's pretty good. I like the ending credits haha.. "Jamie Poh .......... Camera" muahaha.. lol..Awesome.. Tried to get science done at lunch. No such luck. Ick I have my counsellors appointment tmr. 1pm for 10 minutes. =S How are we supposed to pick our schedule. It's like so hard picking a career NOW. After a LOT of looking through websites, reading course outlines and talking to people, I have Visual Merchandising in mind. I tried to make my schedule so I HAVE a language and stuff so I could possibly get into University if I wanted. But like.. it's so stupid.. What if I wanted to do something in University that didn't require science or something. Why would I need it? I don't get people..The human race is DOOOOOOOOOOMED.. o you know it..

French is getting quite enjoyable. Fun class now..Small classes are good. Ick with all this course selection going on it feels like the semesters coming to an end or something. We still have SO MUCH to do!!The HORROR!! THE HORROR!!!! All the french presentations! EWWWW I hope she does it in partners. Doing speeches and presentations in English is hard enough.

Was planning to watch the guys try outs today but I played.. tee hee.. Rallied with Jensen and found out that we're playing tmr! O_O With the seniors. Ain't that awesome. Harry put Jensen on to play singles.. found out it's against Patrick too. The guy from the Fraser Valleys.. ok well the last 2 tournaments. Jensen beat him! And we beat him and his partner in mix too.. that felt so great.. smacking it at him.. muahaha 8D.. Wonder if they've got any better. Coz if they have.. man.. déjà vu... déjàvu [?].. mmmm.. Languages are fun.. IF you don't have to learn it til it's as good as your first language or even better.. Why can't schools teach something like atlantean or jedi/huttese.. lol that would be awesome.. So I played with Hoge against Jessy and.. uh.. I didn't catch the other girls name. =S.. oopsies.. Well she needed a racket so I lent her the other one I have. Fun rallies.. David said to put me infront. O man playing front with Jessy's drives. All her shots are straight at people... ahem.. like straight at my face... Was pretty fun.. hmm hmm hmm..

Still thinking about my course selection.. To take language.. or not to take language..=SS.. well here's my course selection so far..
SS11, EN11, Portfolio Prep, PMA11, ESC11, BJA11 [which I think I'll change to MK, Marketing 11], Photography 11, and textiles 11. =S.. And what about Summer school. Lily just told me that Summer school costs about 300 dollars. O_O.. ><.. my head hurts.. Imma sleep.. =P

[Back to childhood days]

It was soooo sunny today. Really warm outside too. I was in short.. bemuda [?]..Diane walked over to my place and we went to Java Hut to get ice cream. Since I was on my blades, I got her to go in to get it. She came out less than a minute later saying that the stingy lady was working today. Haha so we went to nester's market and got a klondike cone instead.. mmmm.. Talked for a bit then went to Krissy's. We were gonna drop by Jr's house to say hi so we called... he wasn't home.. haha lucky we called. So then we walked to FW and finally managed to bug Krissy to learn how to ride a bike. SHE KNOWS HOW TO RIDE A BIKE NOW! Woot woot! =P [Good Job Krissy now that's one check off your new year's resolution]

[whoo hoo Friday]

PICTURES! Tee hee.. The first one is Mr Slade doing try outs, 2nd is Hoge and Jensen rallying Andy [the crazy dude], 3rd is Andy..and.. DUN DUN DUN.. THIS.. is what math class looks like.. haha.. Ok yeh it was at BREAK..I hide behind my math textbook =P

Just got back from badminton.. muahaha.. I feel so awake! haha why can't I feel like this in the morning.. Or in math or something..

We did the Government Simulation in Socials this morning. Hah I was prob the only person who wrote down laws. Well I had like 6 of them..Mr Van Vugt picked people to be in the Legislative Council, the Executive Council and we voted the Legislative Assembly. Muaha. I understand it now =P..It was actually pretty amusing. We made up laws we wanted to change in FH and went through the process of getting the diff councils to agree and stuff. In the end they all got rejected =(.. We had stuff like.. "Longer Breaks" "School starting at 9am instead of 8:15am" "Fire Mr Fabiano" [haha! ever since he's been in "reign" [?], FH has been an unhappy place!] "Fridays off".. Well there's one SS class I actually enjoyed. =P I was talking to Tom the whole time. Ugh Fab also cancelled the school dance. I asked Michelle if he cancelled all for good and she said probably. He said it's dangerous coz people drink and stuff.. We've been living with it. Nothing THAT big's happened.. His comment when he visited FH last year and toured the school with Baxter "I like FH. It's very happy and cheerful" Well I guess NOW we know why your old school was gloomy..

Science is getting confusing.. REALLY.. bet a lotta people in my class don't get what D's talking about. When he teaches, it's like we're in grade 12 or something and we already know it all. Uhh.. no? At the beginning of class, a whole lotta people were crowding around coz they didn't get some of the equations from our worksheets. Edwin came to ask me for some answers. So I was telling him the answers and when he was done. [There was a lotta distraction.. lotsa background noise.. papers shuffling] He fumbles with his stuff and pulls out 2 packs of fuzzy peaches for me and goes "Here.. thanks" lol.. I was like.. thanks..? No one has ever paid me with candy.. or ANYTHING.. for giving them answers.. haha.. that was funny.. just pulled out candy from his sleeves and placed them on my desk..lol Sam came in to talk to Caroline and when he left he saw me but he walked out. 2 seconds later he pops his head back into the class and goes HEYJAMIE! and runs out.. haha

Went to the library at lunch to work on math. Lol Diane was telling me to list the stuff I don't get so we can discuss it. So Lily picks a question on rates and interests. I calculate the question on my calculator and she does too. It asks what are the 2 possible interest rates. I'm like "10.7 and 10" and Diane, I don't know what she's thinking but she goes "10.7andyoucanhalfitto5.35".. I paused...Coz that sounded SO familar..Then I was like..Why would you half the percentage? Like.. it's not clicking here!..XD lol Diane froze and I couldn't stop laughing at her..

Had a course selection assembly in Block C. Partway through grade 10 and we're picking courses already!?!?! Grade 11's coming.. Noooooooo.. I'm only JUST beginning to enjoy grade 10! Thought it wouldn't take up much of the block. Thankfully it did.. Took up the whole block and 5 minutes of break. So much info.. muaha now I have a better view of what I'm gonna take and what I need to take. FINALLY something that helps. Everything else didn't help. All the past assemblies and planning. Ugh..Well no French tee hee..On my way back to class, I whacked Jr on his shoulder and he didn't even look at me and waved. On my way OUT of class Jr passes me and he was gonna whack me too BUT he holds out a FIST and punches me shoulder. I was like AHH~! and he turns around and goes OOPS! >< SORRY!! lol..

Block D Math.. AHHHHHHHH.. Sequences. Man..I thought I studied for it and did all my math review and chapter check last day. But when I looked at the sheet I was like.. Gulp.. Well I hope the supplement did SOME help. I couldn't get some of the questions tho =S... I thought this test was gonna be easier than the first one. Apparently not. EEP.. Monday.. O_O..lol yesterday Jack was eating food in class and Huzyk was like.. JACK? Are you eating foooood in my class?! Jack's like.. no.. and Huzyk says then WHAT are you doing there? Jack's like.. um.. chewing? lol

Went to my locker after school and Jethro was there with a buncha people like Evan and Cam and Marcus and stuff. They were talking to him and since his locker's below mine, I was waiting for him. MAN he's got like.. 100 bottles of milk to go in there. He took them all out and put them in nicely. A LOTTA milk. Just yesterday he had about 5 bottles and he was like "Hey Jamie.. Got milk?" I'm like what ARE you doing with all those bottles. Today he's got a hell lot more. Waited for soooo long for him to get his stuff. Try outs..We only got 4 courts coz I think the Senior Girls Bball team made it to the finals? Provincials? Something like that so they had practice. I did so much running today. =( My rallying with Slade wasn't good =S.. I did a couple of drills with Lily..run run run! Ashish came by for a while. Some of the seniors were going to a tournament..So I was sitting on the bench and Joon threw his wallet down by the benches and Ashish picked it up. He flipped through it as if he was gonna take something.. XD hilarious..So then David came into the gym ready to leave. He walks RIGHT by Ashish, doesn't see him and goes WHERE'S JOON to Harry and Joon's like standing right smack infront of him. Harry's like.. eh here? Then David turns around and points at Ashish and says we gotta go.. lol Ashish is like.. pfft..comes in and walks RIGHT by me then turns around and tells me we gotta go. So when David's down at the end of the gym, Ashish is waiting for him and he's like [in canto]"Fi Di LAHHHHHHHH" lmao..then "MAHHHHHHHH funn" XDD Jensen and I were laughing at him.. ahh.. Watched Jensen play with this guy, Andy. Man he's so good. He's CRAZY good. I think he graduated already? Or he's from some other school.. He's WICKED crazy..Then they played a game. Hogen, Jensen against Andy and Mike.. Jensen and Hoge won.. whoo hoo.. lmao I found a marker on the floor so I wrote the score down on the board. Diane started drawing pictures of them. Hilarious.. I left for a while to go rally with Lily.. hehe stole Peter's court =P..Did drills.. =P..I came back to Diane and she had more pictures drawn. I pointed at one she drew and asked who it was and she was like it's Ke-li and she points at him. There was an arrow on the picture pointing to someone else and I'm like who's THAT and she's like.. the side view of Ke-li. But the hair was like really sticking up. I'm like =S and then she points at Ke-li who was standing next to me and LMAO his hair was standing up it was SOOOOOOO funny.. It looked exactly like him!!!! XPPPPP rofl.. haha.. I couldn't stop laughing!

-10:04pm-
haha I just got off the phone with Diane.. We were talking about how Jenny turns beat red when she does exercise or any physical activity.. then we start talking about how chinese people talk and how they always seem like they're yelling at people.. Then Diane goes like "GANMAHHHHHHH!!!" ROFL XDDDDDD hahaha man I laughed til my sides hurt. She said it in such a way that it sounded EXACTLY like how they would say it. So full of expression and feeling.. pffthahahahaha

[Amazing...still got time]

Ugh so much homework for Science. Balancing equations is confusing! =S.. Got like 4 worksheets to do with diff formulas.. =S.. Fun part of science today was our lab. Muahaha.. We had to put Zinc into Hydrochloric Acid and create Hydrogen gas and fill a test tube with it. Then combine it with fire and BOOM.. lol.. ok wasn't a boom.. more like a pop and spark..fun fun.. Chad helped us.. lol..so scary when Simon and Eric popped it up first. Ick I keep smelling smoke.. bleh

Went to the library at lunch to finish off my science worksheets and get some math done. Boo.. didn't finish much.. =(..

Math test tmr. Ugh..more notes.. I GET IT THO! Imma ace this test! Huzyk assigned the next 2 units of homework. I'm almost done. Muahaha polynomials are so much easier to do this year than last year.. =S.. I did them so fast today. But then at the end it got too confusing and I gave up.. for the day.. =P.. Shall finish them at lunch tmr.. lol Ellen had the hiccups when she came back after break and I was trying SO hard not to laugh. But the hiccups were like different from any other hiccups I've ever heard. In my mind I was like.. aww poor Ellen.. but then it was so funny.. I was gonna burst. When I looked aross to Diane, she was like holding it in too.. I was SO gonna burst out. XD Huzyk's still calling Ke-li, Kelly. It's hilarious. He asked what the next step in the question was on Tuesday and Ke-li got the right answer. Huzyk was like "OMG KELLY! You are SO smart!" I looked at Diane again and man I was gonna cry trying not to laugh..Jen told me in socials or some other class they called him like "Kelly.. Kayley.. Kee-Lie.." Kee Lie.. haha sounds like some native name. Diane offered to correct Huzyk but he didn't wanna.

Eep..Homework takes up too much time! TOO MUCH TIME.. Anyhoo.. lotsa people were happy today that they made the cut for badminton. Tmr...final try out.. muahahaha

[French fries? Freedom fries?]

Ugh.. socials is confusing.. and boring..Why can't we do current events or something. Canadian history is just.. DAHHHHH..Watched a couple videos in class today and did more worksheet questions from the book. A lotta people were missing from first block coz they were doing the Cayley [?] math contest..

Hung out in the Int room at lunch and tried to finish my science..lmao Diane kept singing One Two Step.. and I'm like.. I've read this question over and over and I still don't get it.. and she's like.. ok I'll stop.. [pause]... starts singing again.. lol.. BUT she helped me with Science.. so.. all good all good!!! =P..Lol I was spinning around in my chair and I see this margarine tub a couple of times.. lmao.. coz I'm spinning round and round. When I stop, I yell out BUTTER and point at it. Diane does the EXACT same thing. *points and yells*.. haha..it was scary.. Like we've done it before said out stuff at the same time. But today was somewhat different! Esther was in the Int room studying too.. She turns around and asks if I speak philipino.. I'm like.. uh.. nope? then she goes.. Indonesian? lol.. interesting.. then I point out in my agenda where Singapore is and ... yeh..Yesterday when I was in the gym "collecting data", Jessy went to help me find out the names of the players. When she came back to me she started BLURTING out all these words in chinese and I was like.. WHOA WHOA WHOA Jessy slow down and it's funny coz she did it by accident. She says whenever she talks to Krissy, she automatically speaks chinese.. When Diane and I were going to get Diane's lunch, someone taps me on the shoulders and Hoge yells out JMERZ and Jr starts talking...

Ah french.. what an enjoyable block.. COUGH COUGH.. haha no.. french is becoming fun. We played a game.. Eh.. "game"..It's like.. you and your partner line up facing each other, one has a card and one is supposed to answer. Then we rotate along the line and answer questions in french. =S Then we were supposed to write a postcard to someone talking about our Summer. Mark keeps asking questions and then we get into a convo about how he hates french and quebecan french and french frenchies and.. all that.. Then I'm like do you like french fries? And he's like I like french fries.. I just don't like french people.. and I don't like french because french people speak french.. Alex brought up "Freedom Fries" and Mark didn't get it and it took us a while to get it through to him WHY they were called freedom fries.. lol..

Stayed after school to watch the guys try out and play a bit. Didn't think I'd play. Thought I'd just take some pictures and watch the try outs. Ended up playing.. muahaha.. =).. Good day today. Lotsa running.. hehehe.. I hit Fred in the head with the bird O_O.. lmao!!! The same thing that Oliver did to him! XD I couldn't stop laughing. Maybe people keep hitting birds at him coz he's too tall.. haha! Rallied with Lily, Fred and Corey.. pretty good..Can't wait for Friday.. awww nothing on tmr unless Lily goes for the broadcasting thing after school.. Tsk tsk tsk Lily.. skipping broadcasting. =P.. It's all good all good..

[FH beats GP 8 to 3]

Mr Van Vugt really doesn't know how to teach properly. The class is silent whenever he asks questions. Maybe people just don't know history. =S.. hmmm.. we're moving so slowly in SS too..

2 marks off a test makes your overall percentage go down by 3.3%? =S Well in Science we did another quiz/test to replace the your worse mark.

Hmm went to the library at lunch to work on science..Lily came in to work on her jap portfolio. Man she's drawing it all. Took me forEVER to finish mine and all I did was find pictures, cut and paste. lol when Alex showed me his at the start of class yesterday I was like.. XD LOL.. he drew all his pictures and I saw it in the morning. At lunch he added more stuff to his front cover and I pointed at a picture which looked like a pickle and asked what it was and he said it was a baguette.. XD

Gasp O_O Mme K knows my name! lol.. took her long enough..She'd always call on certain people. Then she'll look at me and call someone else's name. Today it was like.. "....jamie....".. I didn't quite hear it at first then I was like Wut the.. she called me.. haha...><..lmao we had to do this thing in the cahier and it's like putting the right form of the word in the blank space and ticking the right boxes that correspond to the sentence. Mark's like "How do you do this" [looking down at his book].. At the same time, Mme K just finishes helping nicole with her work and Mark just randomly ticks the boxes. Alex and I were laughing so hard and Mark's face was like beat red.. XDDDD

Chapter 2 in math seems a lot easier than chapter 1..hey it was the same as last year.. I remember my very first test in grade 9.. eep.. it wasn't good.. lol Huzyk called today the 22nd.. the Twenty Twoth of Feb.. XD lol we're doing sequences and stuff and the question was find the next 70 terms or something.. and he was like "Do we want to count out EVERY SINGLE TERM?!?!" Then he asks Selena.. "Selena would you go home and count the next 70 terms?" She says yes.. I'm like.. eh.. right? And then Huzyk goes.. "Why would you do that Selena?" And she's like.. Coz you told me to.. XD.. interesting..

Stayed after school to watch the senior match. As I walked into the gym Harry calls out to ask me to collect "data" for them. I was like.. data? What kind of data? =S.. He hands me a couple sheets with the court on it and boxes and asked to list where they shot and stuff. I didn't get it at first.. So I just watched and took notes. Even notes was hard to take. None of them did continuous shots that could be noted down as a weakness =S.. Or else our team would have seen it and took advantage of it..Well FH won.. 8 to 3.. whoo hoo..=)And muahaha try outs on Friday again..Jr boys try outs tmr..To watch or not to watch.. Aww I didn't get to take pictures today. Hm I think the batteries were kinda low anyway. Guess I'll charge'em up and wait for our next games.. hehehe

[Jr girls try outs]

Guess I'll do a quick entry... Had homework for SS AND Science. I was gonna get help from Lily at lunch with math but then I had to go film and they were going to the website club. So at the beginning of lunch I thought I'd just ask her one question and before she could explain it to me, Diane came in and asked to go get her lunch with her. When we were waiting out front, Mr Nguyen comes and reminds me we're filming. Then Wanta comes and so I run back to the Int room to grab my stuff and Lily explains the question to me real quick. =S.. We got the filming done in like.. 10 minutes.. And we couldn't finish it on Friday?!?! Anyhoo.. In French we changed seating plans. I now sit at the back of the class with Mark, Alex and Nicole. Was a pretty fun class today actually. We played bingo a couple of times and Mark kept asking what words meant and Alex and I kept answering at the same time. We have to do a student led conference before interims I think? Diane said it was before interims. Ugh it's outta 30.. and you have to introduce your teacher and all that. I asked Mark if we had to do it in French and he said yes. I asked Diane and she said no. =S... hmmmm.. Math was.. math was just math.. hehe.. After school I went for badminton try outs. Found out David is our "captain" or.. whatever you call that person.. Manager.. Like Harry was last year... So we signed up and rallied a couple of shots with Mr Slade and David..Senior game with Guildford Park [?] tmr.. dun dun dun. =P

[Ahhhh work work work]

Was planning to finish my work today.. But I slacked off.. tee hee.. It was so nice and sunny out today. Diane and I were gonna go out and roller blade or do something.. but then we never go to it. I went to badminton at 4:30.. It was really full.. Lotsa seniors from FH.. and I think some Jrs JH.. Played with Peter, Sylvia and Crystal.. eh heh.. wasn't the greatest set of rallies.. I wonder where Jensen's been this whole week. He hasn't shown up for any of the practices.. =S.. The guy kicked us out when it was adult time. Most of the courts were empty... So Stella and Peter were rallying Pat's uncle. I took Peter's spot and I think his OTHER uncle asked if he could join in. So I rallied half court with him. That was good. Drive drive drive drive drive.. muahaha... hehe.. He was like "Do you take lessons?" I'm like.. nope? and he says I'm really good. hehe =).. Then I said I practice with Jensen and he was like OH haha.. Was really good.. He gave me a couple of tips while we were playing.. Like to keep your opposite hand level coz when it's down you're off balance..hmm Well the guy working there kicked us off again... So I sat off and watched people play for a bit then decided to leave. I was about to make a call and SOMEONE comes up from behind me and scares me.. psh haha.. So then we watch Rufi and these guys play table tennis. hehe crazy game.. It's so funny watching people play ping pong.. Rufi's really good tho..lol her partner wasn't as good.. lol.. He kept hitting the ball out and the other guy kept going like GET IT ON THE TABLE.. and he'd be like I'M TRYING.. You're just saying that coz I'm black! [lmao...cough. they both were]. Hilarious watching them play.. He saw us laughing so it was like he was putting on a show for us.. =P Anyway so I get home and eat dinner. At 7:45, I get a call from Linda asking if I was coming to babysit. I'm like puzzled and I'm like uh what time? and she says.. <_< 7:30..I was like trying to figure out if she had SAID to come last week. She didn't say anything? I know 2 weeks ago she asked if I was free. But she never said what time.. = =..Well lucky for her I wasn't still at badminton. Hmm late.. ugh I have so much to do tmr..>< Painting to paint for Monday.. Socials map test to study for [that ain't too hard]..Math.. Glad I'm done my science.. And my French dossier to finish.. Finding pictures, cutting and pasting.. ugh..

[And our season begins...]

Ugh Socials test..GR Mr Van Vugt has 3 classes I think.. I have him in block A and Lily has him in block B so we would get the same notes and all that. But noOOoo.. Block B got a diff set of notes and he missed out "The Acadians" on ours. Only this morning he gave them to us and we had our TEST right after.. =S.. hehe.. I don't think I did too great.. Too many dates and treaties and wars.. Why'd they have to do so many things in the past?????

Got a couple of pages of homework.. BUT I went in for flex at lunch and finished it ALL.. muahahaha.. no homework for Science.

French test!! lol.. Apart from a couple of verbs and definitions from Dr Mrs Vandertramp, I think I did pretty well.. =)..Didn't really do much in class. We were supposed to be working on our Dossiers.. But I didn't have paper and we just did pretty much nothing..

Ugh math test results..gulp.. 73%? ouch.. Well 90% on the honors supplement..Lol the last question on the supplement was supposed to be a calculator question and I didn't use the calculator.. DAHH.. Well hey I got the right answer.. =P Psh.. calculators!

Stayed after school to film for the Sports section of our ahem.. JANUARY issue of FHN..Managed to get the conference room and it took a while to get the script written perfectly.. ugh.. took up most of the time. I was so bored I was spinning in my chair.. lol.. got so dizzy!!! @_@''' =P Stayed by to watch badminton..lol the cool janitor came by to open the doors for us. I was reading a note from Diane and he's like.. GASP she's got a "Dear Jon" lmao.. I'm like.. uh? and he asks the people around him how to say Dear Jon in chinese and then he goes "She's got a ching chong shing ching" XD lol.. Man.. senior practice and the gym was packed with Jrs and grade 8s..Yesterday was Jr drop in and there was NO ONE.. Well Jr girls try outs on Monday! muahaha..Slade's doing like an only girls try out then an only boys try out and then anyone who's invited back on Friday.. hmm

[Ahhhh report cards!]

Double block of science.. ugh..Was at my locker this morning..Talked to Corey for a bit then we went upstairs to the bridge..haha he was like... hey hey it's nice up here.. you get a good view of everything.. Then he said he always sees us up here.. GASP..so people DO notice! Science is pretty ok..Nothing THAT hard.. YET

Had to go to that paint in again today at lunch. Got my math for Diane coz she didn't get some questions and the one she put on the board just happened to be explained when she went to the washroom.. hehe..Didn't really get much done today..=( Busy busy busy

AH math test!! That honors supplement better have raised my mark!! =( But I know I got the first question wrong.. DAHHH It was so simple too!!! >< I counted wrong!!! Stoopid patterns..Hmmmmmm we'll get it back tmr =S

Got out of boring math early to get our report cards. Phew..Mwahaha straight As for once. My P.E mark got bumped up.. Psh.. because of a WRITTEN assignment. Hm I could have gotten full marks on that. But noooooo I didn't put NUMBERS in the contents page even tho there were only what.. 3 things in the booklet? My art mark went down by 1.7%!! GASP..lol..hehehe well hey my final's gone into the library for display and in April it's gonna go up in a different gallery..Played badminton after school with Lily. Jensen asked if I was going and I said yeh but he wasn't there! Simon and Brad showed up and a couple of grade 8s and the seniors. The gym was so warm today..I was gonna die when we started rallying. But then after it was better. The rest of the time, Lily and I just rallied with Peter. First senior game was on Tuesday. They beat Sullivan [I think?] 7-4..

Awwww Pepper got neutered yesterday and he had to wear a cone around his neck. When he came home he was still kinda drowzy and lost.. and uncomfortable.. He kept running around the house and he can't fit into small areas anymore coz of the cone so he kept bumping into things.. =(.. haha I talked to Doni after school yesterday outside Tim Hourtins and I told her about Pepper and she was like "Oh really.. My dad's getting neutered too" I was like.. your.... dad? lmao.. then she was like. BLAH DOG!!! XD

[Flag Day]

Van Vugt knows my name! O_O..duh oh! haha..He's been asking me questions and when he wrote notes on the board he looked up at me and asked if I could see the bottom. Wish he'd change the seating plan. It's TOO dead in there.

Mr Devereaux wasn't here today. Had his studen teacher Ms Purewal.. Always Ms Purewal.. haha..I think I prefer her explaining things. She says it all out so clear and precise.

Decided to go in for that library paint in. Muahaha.. I have the best painting ever. If I finish it, it'll be the best thing ever. But the papers HUGE.. and it's water colour paper. I hate drawing on that.. Mctavish put my 3 medium painting in the library. Of the owl in the palm of someone's hands. Huzyk brought it up at the beginning of class. He was talking about Kristens painting then he looked across the class to me and was like "and JAMIE! Yours was up there too! It was.. it was... the owl! in the hands!" lol..I better get that painting back. Went to art to pick my stuff up last week but Mctavish said the room was too messy and she couldn't remember where she put the stuff and that my final painting was gonna go in a gallery in April. So I can't get it back til then! Maybe I'll go by tmr to see if her class is CLEARED haha.. Talked to Kristen on the way out from math and she was like "I swear she's trying to steal them!" XD..

Had Mme Monk for French today. She's SOOOO much better at teaching. I don't like Mme K.. She's got no confidence.. she's always asking us questions. Not TEACHING.. Mme Monk says it all out STRAIGHT.. and we LEARN it.. Why can't she be our teacher?!?!?!? So much nicer!!

lol was at my locker after school.. Alex and Adam were going on about how I didn't have my badminton racket in my locker and I might as well not come to school lol.. then Jethro comes up from behind me and puts his arms around me and I'm like ahhhh..then he pulls the huge watercolour paper outta my locker and goes WHOA.. WHOA WHOA! *pause*.. I'm better.. XD haha. then he asks if I have food *eye roll* lol..We walk down the hall together and he's like.. ooh ooh ooh let's make Diane jealous and we stop infront of Diane and he goes BYE JAMIE and gives me a hug.. lmao..

[Happy V-day]

Monday again.. ahhh..Socials was... ahem.. boring again. Did more review but it wasn't much.. Van Vugt doesn't really know how to make the class very interesting. He's nice and all. But the class is kinda.. dead.. I got 46 outta 50 on my map. FORGOT to put on the alphabets for the territories!!! And a couple of my dots were like 3mm off = =..

Roses were given out in block B.. aw no rose this year.. haha.. Got lotsa chocolate tho! =) Hm..Science is getting confusing.. It's like.. *shoves textbook in your face* and you're supposed to read it and answer the questions. And no one explains why some of the numbers in the charts are different. Grr..Watched the other half of the atom video. Watched the same one last year.. =S..It's like sodium and chloride "getting it on" pfft haha..

Mr Nguyen found me before block b and asked if I can video at lunch. Then at lunch I couldn't find him.. Went to the Int room then career office and then back to the int room and then finally found him and he handed me the small camera.. STILL not charged. Student council had some activities going on. Cinnamon heart eating contest lol.. Jeff was in it. He pretty much swallowed the whole pack of hearts. Well he won "The Notebook" on dvd.. so that's pretty good. He gave it away tho! Then they had a couples questionaire. "How much do you know about your girlfriend/boyfriend?" haha.. so sweet. The first 2 couples were like.. on a roll.. the next 2.. eh weren't so great haha..They had cinnamon heart eating again after.. didn't tape that one. Lol this grade 8.. or maybe 9 guy was trying to walk across the camera to block the view. Psh he's TOO short.. haha.. Amusing watching him PRETEND to walk back and forth when I don't see him on the screen blocking anything...Some other grade 8s did that too.. *eye roll*

AHhhh did our french presentation/speech today. Gulp.. My face was burning.. I could feel all the blood rush to my face when I was reading..well got that over with. There was this lady in class filming for Mme K's like.. progress report? or something like that. Brandon went up and Mme K was like Mark you wanna go up to get it over with? and Mark looks at the camera and reluctantly gets up *whispers* "I'm unCOMfortable being on camera!" lol..

Math test on Thursday! AHHHHHH review tmr and Weds.. =S hmmm..I don't like honors. Puts so much pressure on you. It's like you're expected to be able to do the math really fast and all that. Huzyk said that people who get 80 and above? Or was it 85 and above in grade 9 math, you get pushed up to honors. Psh..hm yeh I think it's above 80.. I got like what.. 83%? Not even an A..

[THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY]

OMGOMGOMG FRIDAY.. phew!.. The past 2 nights have been.. hectic! Ok maybe it was just yesterday. Well got more homework today..Basically the same thing as yesterday.. just MORE..I have 2 chapters of math... a couple pages of science to read and do.. A french paragraph that I have to write and present on Monday..Plus add on review to each subject.. The only subject that's going really slowly is Socials...Most boring class ever..Spent the whole block today finishing up our map which I was already done and like 5 minutes of review..

Played badminton after school. Was awesome.. another great work out =P.. Did more drills..Most of the time we were rallying.. Corey, Jensen, Lily.. and me.. Lotsa running..=) Lily left so then Peter played with me... We clashed rackets.. I was like.. DAHHHHH.. He keeps saying sorry whenever he misses a shot..I mean... great but.. TOO much.. It's like.. every shot.. Sorry... sorry.. sorry.. Anyhooo.. Ugh I split the skin on my middle finger.. it's nasty.. I can peel it apart and all.. =S..

[Gonna be one loooooooong semester]

Ugh.. SO much work. Well compared to like last semester [hehe I still have like 5 minutes to blog tee hee. After this I shall SLEEEEEP]. came home and started work at 3:30... did math til like 6:30 then went for dinner. Then started math again at 7ish. Got help from Lily [I'm SO going in for flex Lily..HOW DO YOU GET IT?!?!] Then finally finished at 8:25. Shower... haha shortest shower ever.. Started work again.. Science.. ugh.. Was reading the chapter then I remembered we had a sheet to do. Mr D didn't even explain it! I had to call Krissy to ask her how to do it. Then finally, after a lotta researching on the web, I got it... I have a French quiz/test.. whatever review test tmr and I have no clue what it's on. Is it the full review? Ugh! Why is it teachers in this semester aren't explaining things properly?!?! It's like they're teaching us something as if we already know it and we're reviewing. Science went by so fast and Mr D didn't even like... wait for us.. GRRRRR anyway.. another long day tmr... then WEEKEND I can catch up with everything else. Full afternoon of badminton tmr.. awesome..

[Double blocks should be banned!]

We started a textbook survey in SS. Had to write questions on stuff in the text =S. Then started a mapping assignment on Canada. I'm ALMOST done. haha.. too much to colour! Took be all class to find all the cities and list them. Again, our class is dead silent. It's starting to get a LITTLE better. There's like no one I really talk to in there! Chad sits next to me and I don't really talk to him. Lol we were talking about Tsunamis and Earthquakes. Mr Van Vugt was like "What do we do when there's an Earthquake?" Chad looks at me and goes "Stop drop and roll!" lol..XD

They were selling more Valentines candy at lunch. Diane, Krissy and I were walking to Mahli's class to check Diane's SS mark when we bumped into Corey. So we talked for a while. Then Jessy comes by and asks if we wanna buy any candy. Eck cinnamon hearts. Cinnamon AIN'T good cept in rolls. hehe =P..Then Corey asks how much it is and Jessy says 2$. He takes his wallet out and says he doesn't have change and only has a 20$ and 10$ bill. Jessy says they have change downstairs so he follows her and asks if any of us want candy. Later on, we found out he bought like 10$ worth of candy. O_O.. He did that before too. Diane was selling Twizzlers for 2$ each pack and Corey bought 40$ worth of it. I was like HOLY CRAP. He doesn't even eat candy. He gives them all away. We bumped into Jessy again and asked where he went. She said he bought 5 and gave them away to people. Like, people he didn't know. Aw he's such a sweetie...

Did more review in French. More passé composé...ugh..Played a couple of games and AHHHH we have an oral presentation next week. Have to write a paragraph about ourselves and include a picture. But we can't have it with us when we present but we can have Q-cards. Hmmm...Well double block of Science and Math tmr. Can't be too bad.. haha..Science will be all review and notes. Math.. another chapter...

[Crappy crappy cwappeee]

Man my ss class is so quiet. It's like DEAD SILENT. Mr Van Vugt goes "Any questions?" and I swear you can hear a pin drop. Did some current events today.. Tsunami and stuff..

Eep.. I've forgotten everything in Science. Weeeeee'll get it back lol..Devereaux's so scary.. He brought up the table of contents as he walked by my desk, which happens to be in front and was like WHOA when he looked at my binder with a table of contents on it. I jumped.. lol.

Lol was at my locker and Hoge comes RUNNING at me and he's like We gotta go boarding! Then he shows me his bruises from last weekend and omg he's got like massive bruises..They ain't pretty..Man our broadcasting went on pause again.. We need the put up Febuary soon! And January isn't even done. We might as well make it every 2 months now.. grrrrr.. Talked to Esther at lunch and she said to find Mr Nguyen and make an announcement on the P.A. So I went to get Mr Nguyen in the career office and tell him to call a meeting. I went back to the INT room and Esther's not there. So then all of us are like =S.. Then bumped into Mr Nguyen partway through lunch and he was like I thought you wanted a meeting. And I was like... you didn't make an announcement! Then he was like OH I thought you said that you wanted a meeting coz Esther wanted to make an announcement. lol.. some misunderstanding there..Hope to get the thing done by Friday.... *fingers crossed*

We're still doing review in French. Ugh we had this sheet with like a list of phrases like.. the title's "Find someone who..." and then all the phrases. Gr people in the table beside us just filled in people's names. They didn't go around the class asking the questions. = =.. So then when Mme K called out names, mine was called and she asked me the question.. Was something like.. "Can drive a car". I'm like eh.. no? Then Rachel gives me this look like I'm stupid or something and she's like " BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID!" I never signed my name under that. Geez! Then the teacher shows us the sheet and frickin I didn't even write that! I signed my name on all the sheets that were handed to me which meant no one could possibly read my name. This is gonna be one heck of a semester.. oh god..And I even said that she never personally bugged me to Diane and Lily..

Hm I'm wondering how honors math is different from regular math. Are we going that much faster? Hmmmmm.. Huzyk was like.. It's Chinese New Years eve! Now all of you are gonna go Gong Hei Fa Choi *does hand gestures*.. and all of us stare at him. Then he's like... what year is it? What are the months in the chinese calendar? and again no one answers.. then he's like "What?! Am I the only chinese in here?!" lol.. yeh the only Ukranian-"Chinese".. haha.. muahaha I'm getting this math!!! haha.. lol Huzyk keeps calling Ke-li, Kelly. It's hilarious.."Ok Kelly could you read out your number. Where's Kelly... Kelly could you hand out the textbooks" He should really correct Huzyk. Or else he'll be Kelly for the rest of the semester.

Went to Sr badminton practice today. Hmm.. It was..ok.. I kept messing up my serves! I don't know WHAT it was!! Jensen kept going.. It's all good!! Just.. TAKE YOUR TIME.. then he serves and misses.. lol. GR! What was it?? The bird made a blunt sound and went straight down when I hit it! Like it was too slippery or heavy or.. weird! So then I switched to backhand and slowly it came back... meh.. didn't play well today..Senior season's starting! They have their first game next week.. To watch or not to watch.. hmmm
