[Day 12: Prom dress shopping XD]

Elementary school and some High Schools started school today. Muahaha FH still gets 4 more days! =D.. Woke up to B-E-A-utiful sunshine this morning. Urg, yeh...go back to school and it shines so brightly. Evilness....

Msn was down this morning so I logged onto yahoo msger and found Alice online. She was the only person online. She msged me and we talked til around 1-ish. I was being kinda weird and she said I was high and should drink some water XDDDD.. Asked if I wanted to go hang out at Erma. I phoned Diane and she said that she had to go to Guildford with her mom and sis to pick out prom dresses. So then she said that she'd call back to see if I can go over to her place and then we could go to the mall. Went downstairs to watch THEE making of The Incredibles. I love that movie.. best movie eva..There was this part about how they animated the characters and they have this room and camera which they use to film themselves and from there they animate it. Crazieeeee..

Diane's house is close.. but so far! But it was pretty warm out =)..When I got there, we went upstairs to use the computer. Talked to Krissy for a bit then had to go downstairs to eat.. Or rather for Diane to eat. Her mom told her to call the homestay guy to come down and on the way up the stairs, just as she turned the corner, she screams SOOOOO loud.. Now THAT scared me.. XDDDD. The guy was standing right infront of her. Downstairs, her mom asked what happened and the guy was trying to tell her what happened. Lol hilarious, he does this screaming action. XDDD..

Went into this store.. Bellisima? Belisimma? Belissima? Blah!!.. They picked out this blue dress. Really poofy dress and it had all these beads and stuff all over. Lmao, Sonya tried it on and it took up the whole dressing room. XD.. The sales lady was like "OHHHHH that is SOOOO pretty!!!" Diane's mom liked it too. Lmao Diane.. on the other hand was like.. Ehhhhhhhhhh.. haha.. Diane you're like the biggest critic ever.. XPPPP.. She looked at the price tag and YELLED out the price so loud. "WHAT it's 434 dollars?!?!?!" The lady in the change room next to us couldn't help but laugh. XD She was like "... haha you look very pretty..."

We got frozen yogurt. mmmmm good stuff. Decided to head back and we played badminton outside with Diane's sis and homestay. Haha Team Yonex vs Team Hello Kitty.. =PPPPP..It was kinda breezy so it didn't really work. But we still played. Lol the homestay dude is so funny. He stares at Diane then laughs at her in a weird way. XD.. He snapped the strings of one of the rackets! haha So Sonya traded rackets with him..He kept calling Diane Chi-Tah.. Then Diane gave me a new nickname.. Or actually a couple nicknames.. I got "Jam-Tah" and "Mie-Tah".. and Diane's "Di-Tah" and "Ane-Tah".. Haha Sonya's "Ya-Tah" I was like yatta yatta yatta..lol The homestay guy made fun of Sonya when she swung at the bird. She did this weird move and he copied her. XDDDD o boy...That was fun. After that we played basketball then I had to go. Rollerbladed back in the c-c-c-cold..

Today was fun. 4 days to go!! Hmm wonder if we can play badminton tmr..teeheehee

[Day 11: Partay]

Krissy and Diane came over for a bit at around 1 and then we headed to Nester's market to grab some food to bring to Julian's house. We walked... and walked.... and walked.. and walked somemore. His house is soooo far away. I can't believe he walks home everyday.

When we got there, we played Mah Jong XDDD I didn't get it. Haha Alex was there and he spiked his hair again. XDDD Too funny..Julian showed me his room and his closet. Man.. if he piled anymore stuff in his closet, it would prob spill out when you open it. So Alice and Julian were teaching Alex how to play and then Adam came. Diane and I went to his room to watch The Ring on his cpu. Cept it's in Japanese. lol Diane and I played speed while watching. Muahaha I own! haha..Didn't really understand what they were talking about but we already knew the story so. Everyone else was playing video games then Alex and Adam came to watch us play speed. lol we were talking about laughs and Diane asked Alex to do the Peter Griffin laugh.. XDDDD He was like.. Nyah nyah!! lmao..

At around 5:30, Julian and Alice joined us and the guys were making really really weird joke. lol *eye roll*.. didn't get them.. haha.. well that's another day down. Let's see.. TOMORROW!! 5 days to go!!

[Day 7 : Another Jump start to the day]

It's Good Friday today. Haha, Joey jumped on my bed again to wake me up to say g'bye to everyone. She literally JUMPED and hit her head on the ceiling just as she did on Wednesday. XDDD haha well that woke me up.

Next up today in 2 and a half hours.. tournament!! *gulp*.. haha David just asked me if I'm ready. I was like.. I haven't touched a racket all week!! Well I'll check in when I come back from my game.. Wish me luck!!

-6:38pm-
Just got back from Douglas College. Oooo man.. those people are so crazy. This is like..wow.. Mix doubles, the girl's infront and she blocks everything off and all the drops and cuts are so perfect.. DAhhh!!..When we got there [we were pretty early], we registered, paid for our games and got our t-shirts. Lol the lady was so funny. She was speaking cantonese so fast to Harry. XD Harry's korean! They spelled his name wrong too! Harry Ho.. XDD She kept calling him that too.

There were these lil kids U14..like 10 years old. They can play... This kid, he can clear from one end of the court ALL the way to the other end. Grace asked him how old he was and he said 11. We heard 7.. haha 7 would be WOW..He'll be PRO when he's like in grade 10.. Well Jensen and I "won" the first game by default. haha Those people we were supposed to play first never made it so. Lol there are a couple of girls with short hair and they're taller than the guy. Couldn't help but make fun.. =P..haha He and/or she..Jenn was telling us about how Grace and Annie had to play doubles once and they went to their court and there were these 2 "guys" playing. They asked them to get off coz they had a game with two GIRLS. Turned out that they were girls. COUGH..XDD haha! Ugh the guy announcing the names was soooo bad.. Every word that came outta his mouth sounded the same.. Jensen and I tried to plan our strategies from watching other people play.. meh.. didn't exactly work..Second game, we won that one. Not THAT easily but we won. They lifted a shot and I was gonna get it. Jensen runs forward and smashes it. I was like WHOA.. everyone saw that.. lol.. Harry and Jen lost their first game so they went into consolation. They lost that one too. David and Grace.. I think the same. XD Joon kept throwing his stuff all over Jensen's.. hilarious.. Jensen's like who does he think he is?!? We're sitting by all our stuff and Joon walks by and dumps his racket over all our bags and I burst out laughing XD he gives us a weird look.. We were waiting for a third game but it took so long. Thought we were playing for 3rd and 4th but they took so long so we went to ask about it and the guy said that we have no more games which meant we got a medal. 3rd place!!! haha...Harry gave me a ride back and Joon was saying that Jensen and I play really well singly. But then when we play mix, it doesn't work. =S..or maybe we just gotta train more..But today was quite a good experience. Always good to play people who are a competition..oo man.. I have the whole of next week to myself! I'm gonna like go blading everyday.. or maybe running's better.. =)

There's chocolate sitting on my desk..Eat... NO don't eat.. YES eat.. Jen gave me a brownie today. Omg best brownie ever. So chocolatey..Devil's food..

Mmm.. my aunt and mom went shopping this morning. My uncle went golfing while my dad, cuzins and sis stayed home. I was asleep til 11ish =P..Had 2 donuts for breakfast..so good but so bad...=).. The whole morning, I just talked to Krissy and fiddled around with my photos. We had Mac D's for lunch. Lol last night I was talking to Hoge and my aunt sent me an article about this person who found a human finger in her chilli from Wendy's. UGH.. BLECH.. ICK..GAG!

Left at around 4 to Richmond to go bowling. It was such a looooooooong drive. We got stuck in traffic. REALLY BAD traffic. Took us an hour or so to get through.. Went to The Zone for bowling. We played 5 pin with these mini balls. lol.. That's pretty hard to do!!! lol I got a strike.. once.. =P.. 119 points in total. My ARM!!! Then we played at the arcade and there's this game where you wear this helmet-like thing and shoot people. Lol that was pretty fun..I got to level 2 then I died..

Had dinner at this dumpling restaurant and then dessert at DQ! =) Mmmm blizzard.. lol on the way home Ally, Joey and I had to let out all our laughing gas. XDDD Joey kept talking and talking and talking and o god she can talk a lot!

[Day 5: WHISTLER]

Joey jumped on me at around 8:45 this morning to get me up coz we were leaving for Whistler. What a RUSH.. I didn't have anything packed so I just stuffed my duffle bag with a buncha stuff, music, wallet, cap, toque, water, scarf, extra shirt. Then I had to run up and downstairs to get my jacket and ski pants. I brought my board. =P.. We brought Pepper too..

Pepper was soooooo restless. Took him a while to finally calm down. Lol I was listening to my music and then I was like.. D'OH I forgot the extra battery!! Haha yeh the end of the world. We stopped by Shannon Falls to take a couple of pictures. Hehe I had Pepper on the leash and I ran soooooo much. Next we headed to A&W [again..but that's not a bad thing =P] for lunch. Continued our loooong drive and Joey had Chipmunks playing on the radio. =S heheh my mom gave us this gum that my aunt brought. Altoids? My sister was like DON'T CHEW IT.. I'm like *chew chew chew* lol.. OMG it's soooooo sour... haha.. puckerup!

Muahahaha got there at around.. mmm 1? Yeh something like that. My dad got me a lift pass and I was on mah own. tee hee =).. Took a gondola up followed by another ski lift. Sooo many people. But o man it's nice up there. When you're at the top it's powder. POWDER! lol.. nearer the bottom it's kinda mucky.. dirt.. mud.. But at the top.. it's sweet..Took me a while to get used to it but after that, whoo hoo.. =) awesome..Went up and down oh prob.. 3-4 times. Then went all the way up and back down. Took the gondola at around 4 and soooo many people again.. But they squished about 10 people in one so the line went pretty fast. Ugh I did SOMETHING to my elbow.. now it hurts..=SSSSS .. Well I've been boarding ONCE this season.. hehehe

Lol on the drive back, Pepper was so tired he just stretched his whole body taking up most of the seat. I was squished to the side and so was Joey..Went to Coquitlam for dinner then went to the mall for the last hour before it closed. Joey wanted to go the build-a-bear workshop. She had a coupon for 10$ and another 20$ to spend. She sped around the whole store figuring out what to get. Lol spent JUST below her budget. 28.50$..Then we walked around Zellars and my cuzin got a barbie. My uncle went to Golf Town so we up with him and headed to get some frozen yogurt. mmmmm good stuff..

Don't think we're doing anything tmr. Hmmm.. then TOURNAMENT on Friday.. I haven't played all week tho!!! Meep..STILL have to get rides sorted out.. =S..

[Day 4]

Went to crash crawlies near Ikea at around 3 today. Brought my cousins and sister there for a couple of hours to let out some energy. lol..I stayed there with them while my parents and relatives went to Superstore. Kids have SO much energy. There were all these kids just.. everywhere..ALL OVER.. It's kinda like a huge playground/jungle gym. Kids climbing through tunnels like a human sized ant farm..

After that we went to A&W for an early dinner. Sean can drink sooo much pop. I was so full after a burger and a couple of fries. He finished a small burger, fries, drink and most of my rootbeer. O_O..

We were gonna go to Coquitlam Mall for a while but it was closing so we came back home. Tomorrow we're driving to Whistler. ooooo wonder if I can go boarding..=P...Roadtrip!!

mm I have a tournament on Friday and I STILL have to confirm rides. =SSSS First I ask my mom and she says she can drive then my dad says he'll drop me off at the skytrain station..=S then I have friends who need rides there..

[Day 1]

Diane came to pick me up this morning at around 10. We picked Krissy up then headed to Lily's house. Got to see Pudding!! He's so small! Lily's dad made him a lil cage-like thing and it's got a lil swinging door. Awwww so cute~ They brought him to the carpet and I started running and he went nuts. Started barking at me and attacking my pant legs. Then he ran under the couch.. SHOOOOOOOOOO cute.. I lifted the flap under the couch and he was there looking all cute and innocent..

Went to this bubble tea place. Hmm what was the name of it.. Bubble World? Something like that. We were kinda early so we walked down to Tom Lee to look around coz Krissy wanted to check something out. Just as we turned around, Krissy's brother is like walking towards us. I was like..Is that... no it can't be.. wait it is! He asked what we were doing and then left. Walked to Pharmasave to look around. lol we were looking at perfume and mists. =P I got kinder suprises for us and some chocolate eggs. mmm That bubble tea place is puurrrrrrrtty. It's all funky on the inside. And they have craziee chairs. I got a mango slush and Diane got Taro. Krissy got some bird.....pearl...drink.. lol.. full of Birrrrd.. XD.. Lily got this fruit thing and she added jelly, pearls and a whole bunch of stuff. The glasses they served it in were HUGE. I was like O man I'm not gonna be able to finish that. Weren't sure if we could like transfer it to a cup and take it out. But we kept drinking and drinking and soon it was too little to take out. I can't believe I almost finished that. So we walked to Guildford in the c-c-c-oooold. We only had about 45 minutes so we decided to go to the theatre and skip the mall. I had to pee soooooo bad.. lol.. =S.. So when we got to silvercity, there were these people standing outside and the sign said that it opens only at 12:20. We had to wait 5 minutes and MAN I HAD to pee.. XP..So I dragged Diane to Walmart. Well we didn't get there coz they opened it when we were halfway. So we got our tickets. THE RING II.. GASP..Went in and waited for the guys to come. Alex, Krissy and Ke-li watched Be Cool. Pfft.. We were waiting for Jensen to come coz he was gonna watch The Ring II with Lily, Diane, Ann and I.. But he was LATE.. So we didn't wait for him.

Ugh The Ring II was scary.. O_O.. It's pretty much the same thing. Just continued from where they left off in the first movie. The lady and her son move to some other state and get away from it all. But Samara finds them and tries to take over the boy. The starting is sort of the same as the first one. This guy and his girlfriend, and he watched the video a week before and found out that he was gonna die. Then he gets his girlfriend to watch it but she turns it on and doesn't look at the screen. His friend calls him and then this black stuff seeps in from the living room and the guy comes out and the GIRL crawls out and attacks him. Lol at the beginning, or like even before the movie started, Lily was passing the bag of popcorn to Diane and it dropped! And it spilled all over.. lol.. So we tried to finish it all and get it before the show started. Then part way through the movie, Diane passes me a piece of kitkat. I was like what's this? Coz it was soooo dark I couldn't see anything and I look at it, I thought it was like a piece of platic or something. But then it started to melt and feel mushy. lol.. omg there was one part where the lady's in the ambulance checking out the guy that the RING GIRL killed. AND she like freaked out when she opened the body bag and when she was zipping it up, the girls HAND reaches outta the bag and grabs her and goes "I found you!!" Diane and I JUMPED..Was NOT expected!

After the movie, Diane, Lily, Ann and I sit at the lil "restaurant" place. Waited about 10 minutes and everyone else came out of Be Cool. Psh we were like JENSEN YOU WERE L-A-T-E!!! So then we hung around the arcade and watched Alex beat Ke-li in racing. Headed over to watch Hitch. Now THAT was a good movie. Too bad we didn't get to finish it coz we had to go to the rec centre. Walked through Guildford and ugh long walk. Now that was our warm up done..When we got there, it was FULL. It was only half a gym too coz there was some birthday party going on. GRRRR now they have those birthday parties again. So annoying! It always cuts into youth time. There were only 3 spots left. Then one. But three guys GASP. Well I asked Jensen to say that we could share one court and rotate. But he didn't want to so they waited. They got in after a while so..Lily and Ann were there playing. Damn we should've gotten there earlier. Ah well. So Lily and Ann were playing these lil kids. Now how on earth did they get in. They aren't youth! That's evil. Anyway, it was funny coz Lily and Ann were losing. Then I played and O_O I missed so many shots. That kid was good. He like drives and smashes..The guy in charge of the drop in badminton times is SOOOOO mean. He's a lot meaner now! Like he will stand at the side post and loosen the nets and tell everyone to LEAVE and GET OUT of the gym and then tighten it when everyone gets off. I signed up for adult time and there was this LOOOONG list of people. We were sitting just outside the gym but within the gates talking. Then the lady chased us out. =(... Ok Jensen's name was signed up like.. in number 17 and the lady called his name FIRST. Cough got some "favouritism" going on there. lol he like leaps over the barrier.. Well we got in. RIGHT at the end of the list and we got in. phew. Most of the seniors from FH came. Since there were so many people, everyone had to play games and winners got choice of courts and who to play against and they had this board to write their names on. I was played doubles with Annie, Lily and Diane but then Jensen called me to play mix with these adults. We played them before. Forgot if we won.mmm.. if not then we were really close. We lost today's =(.. Well then I played doubles with Rufi, Annie and Grace. Got creamed..Lol Jensen was sitting on the bench and he looked soooo bored. So then we rallied and played a second mix game. But we didn't have enough time. The guy took the nets down. =(. He's SOO mean.. God~! Ok he looks STRAIGHT at Jensen and goes. BAD![or was it banned] 1 week! Jensen was like wtf? lol the guy goes straight for him when there are all these other youth playing. Anyway, today was pretty fun. Got in trouble for not calling =S..

My cousin's are coming tomorrow! Gonna be a fun week. Hmm and I entered a badminton tournament. Next Friday, Flex Douglas Junior 'B' Tournament. mmmm

[Last days before breaks just have to be the best]

Had our french party today. Lol.. Wasn't much of a PARTAY but.. beats doing work. Sean brought chips.. was it...Katee that brought candy? Andrew was supposed to bring pop and when we asked him, he went to his "locker" or something to get it. He came back 10 minutes later with his face beat red.. lol he prob ran over to Nester's or something. Mme K made crepes. Chocolate and sugar. mmm..Ugh can't drink pop in the morning. We watched a part of Saturday Night Live. XDDD that was funny. It makes fun of french. Hilarious. There's this french class and the teacher's all enthusiastic about it and he's like trying to motivate his students to speak french. "Ah no no no no no~ EN FRANCAIS" Got all the accent..lol and then Adam Sandler's like speaking gibberish. He's like "LahDAHdah DAHHH lee loooolaalaa" XDDD and the teacher's like "BON!!!!!"

Math test. >< that was a hard test!!! I hope I got an A on it. AT LEAST.. I forgot to go check it after school. Crap.. well I'll know in 16 days..

Social Studies was soooooo boring as usual. Finished off our chapter worksheets. We're starting geography. I got a sheet from him as an extra assignment. Hopefully that raises my mark a lil. He said it's worth marks not percentages. That sucks. What's the point of doing a bonus when you don't raise your %. Anyhoo I'm gonna do it.

Ugh science took so long to end. We were supposed to finish off our microscope labs. Edwin and I were done so we were working on the discussion questions. Tanner came by to copy my sheets.. lol..

There was supposed to be grade 8 badminton after school but then we found out that it was a mistake. Should be Jr or something. But then Slade said there wasn't Jr. Seniors were supposed to have a practice at 4:30. But we got the gym earlier so. 3 to 6.. whoo hoo.. Rallied with Lily and Diane. PHEW warm up.. don't do major running. ugh..Then Jensen came and we played. He was using "Ivan's" racket.. well Ke-li's racket coz Ivan was borrowing it. Then Ke-li came into the gym and Jensen put the racket behind his back. He was like.. I like playing.. with my hands....... and my...feet..it's....fun.. lol XD..So then Ke-li took the racket back and he had to go to his locker to get his. I went to the change machine to get something to eat and Jason came with me. The last time I put the bill in there, it kept spitting it out! I realized they changed the machine. You HAVE to buy something when you put the bill in. Which is sort of good coz then you don't always have to use coins but the bad thing is you HAVE to. What if you just want change. Well I got a hershey's cookies and cream bar. mmmmm choooooooocolate..bad bad bad..Diane played doubles with Hoge, Peter and Sylvia. Who won anyway? mm Lily and I were sitting in between courts watching Jensen and Joon Hee kill each other with smashes. They were gonna kill us with birds. lol Joon's like *gestures to throw bird at Lily's head and hits her* then SORRY! Then I did smashes with him and Harry came by. He was like "If you wanna do smashes you should set her up near the line." Then Jensen said I can smash from the back and set it up for me. >< I can't do it when you wanna show it to someone! Then Jensen said I can catch his smashes too. And I missed so many! lol When Harry left I could get them all. lol then Jensen was like damn he's not here to see it. Most of the courts were taken so Diane and I were sitting on the bench talking. I got my pimpin' bandanna.. haha.. So we were talking about people's voices and how they talked. XDD.. Oh yeh Harry and Jenn were like training and Harry was like "Jamie.. you're the birdie thrower" lol wth birdie thrower? I'm like whaaaaaat the bird's right at your feet. He's like I'm too lazy.. psh.. So Diane was imitating people's voices. It was SOOOOOOO frickin hilarious!!!!! She, Jensen and I were laughing sooo hard. I won't get into details..XDD After badminton we were walking outta the gym, Hoge and Jensen were talking about like badminton martial arts style.. lol I was like "Like SHAOLIN SOCCER" lol tap the bird and it like SLAMS on the ground and then WOOOOOOSH gust of wind.. haha! Hoge and Jensen got a lil high. They were on crack or something. Both of them were literally dying of laughter, on the ground..ahh good times good times..

Going to the movies tmr!! And shopping and badminton ^^

[Happy St Pats]

Early dismissal again. Just love short days.. hehe.. French was fun.. well sort of. We did a worksheet and some speaking. We're gonna have a partay tmr.. meep I have to get that card ready and have everyone sign it! I'm still deciding what to put on it!!

Math test tmr! I'm gonna review review review all night and muahaha I'm gonna ace the test like I aced today's socials test..[at least I hope I aced it] Math was sooo boring..just went over the review which I haven't done..

Went to the library all of lunch to study for socials. Got me a big comfy couch =) haha..

Ooooo we did another lab in Science. It was crazy. The school got these bottles of pond water and we put them under a microscope and it's SOOOOOO nasty. There are like lil things swimming in there. lol I got goosebumps watching it. But it was so cool watching stuff swim around <_< =P.. haha..My partner's supposed to be Ryan but then Edwin was working with me so.. At least Edwin gets some stuff done. Ryan's so quiet and he doesn't do anything. I always end up doing all the work. He was just standing there so I felt sorry for him and asked if he wanted to take a look and he was like.. surrrrre.. Like he didn't really care. =S..

Wasn't sure what kind of practice we were gonna have today. We only had the small gym. The grade 8 guys had final badminton try outs. We did some drills. Like 5 people line up on each side and rotate. Clears.. drives..nets..I'm the only lefty there so Slade was like you gotta hit to the person's forehand and the only person who actually thought about that was Jensen. I missed so many shots! >< After that we split into 3 groups and did this drill where you and a partner have to rotate and take alternate shots. Pretty good..That way you move around the court. We should do more stuff like that. Regular drills, people don't really move unless they have to. In these drills we're constantly moving. Got kinda boring after a while tho. Had to keep subbing off.

[FH 11 KP 0]

Got to French early so I lay my head down on my desk and waited for class to start. Toneza was standing outside talking to Mme Monk. Then both of them look at me and ask me to come out. I was like.. *points to self* me? lol so I got outside and she asks if I can make a card for Mme K. This is her last week teaching us. Wow halfway through the course ALREADY!!! Well.. 5 weeks is it? 7? Something like that. So she asked if I could see her at break and she gave me these pieces of card and a lil note with what I have to put on it. Then on Friday we're gonna have a PARTAY and give her the card with everyone's signature on it. Alex and I were in class at the beginning and overhearing what Monk and Khamphuis were saying about the party. I looked at him and lipped "party?" lol...Thought this group switching thing was gonna suck. It's actually pretty good. I like my french class. =)..

Went to the PE office at lunch to check out the line up for our game. Jensen singles, Sylvia singles, Vivi & Ariel doubles, Sandy & I doubles, Corey & Ke-li doubles, Brad & Alex doubles, Jensen & Waina mix. All of us were like WHAT?!?!? =SSSS lol Slade came out and was like "did I miss a meeting here??" After that, Lily and Krissy had to go to their website club. Diane and I ate lunch and talked. Tanner was throwing paperballs at me!!

Socials test tmr. EEEEEEP.. ugh gotta make major notes and really read through everything. ><'' have to write an essay on the confederation. Most of the class was nothing. Spent it all talking to Sylvia and Thomas. Mr V was reviewing with us and I was so lost... He was like "What other things is the federal government in charge of. Do you know.. jamie?" I was like.. huh what? Major reviewing tonight. lol he asked a question about the victorian era. Something like what time was it and Jen shouted out Victorian Era! Then he asked who reigned at that time and she shouted Queen Elizabeth.. XDDDDD Thomas looked at her weird.. haha

Game VS Kwantlean Park..According to Slade, they weren't that good this year. Coz their coach is gone. Their good coach or something like that. So they don't have that much training. Sandy and I were warming up and man I thought we were gonna lose today. She was struggling with her serves at the beginning. I was like >< duh oh.. So I let her practice it a couple of times and tried to get it right. She couldn't serve back hand very accurately. And I was like ok try long serves but not too hard. And she hits it out. So I was like ok.. ok.. no problem.. just get it over.. just get it over. Well we played ok. I played the first people last year. We beat them.. 15:8 15:3 I think? The second people.. 15:0 15:5.. Awesome. Ariel and Vivi beat them too.. We won ALL our games. 11:0.. aweeesommmme..Really good win..Sylvia won 11:1 11:0..and we didn't lose many points. So it was goooood. We're still first in the North Div and we've beaten all three schools..=)

First went to get Diane's lunch, @ the same time collect my art from the library then go to my locker.. then upstairs. Then Julian wanted my socials so I walked ALL the way to my locker on the other end of school and then back. PHEW

Practice after school and I didn't have my shoes!!! O_O how could I forget?!?!?! I called home to get my mom to bring them for me. Well there's one advantage for living close by. =P..Slade said we were gonna do a SHORT warm up. It wasn't short!! Played that partner tag. UGH.. Muahah But I didn't lose this time. Haha Lily.. SIT UPS!!! I was so tired after warm ups. *pant pant pant*.. Funny how it works. You warm up and get SOOOOOO tired that you can't move. Then you play and play and play and build everything up and you're just on a ROLL for those few rallies. Then BAM.. you're too tired that you can't play anymore. Slade could stay til pretty late so we were still rallying at around 5:30. Slowly, people started leaving. Lol Diane's mom and homestay came. Awww Diane it's like you have an older brother now!!! I want an older brother!! haha...So we were rallying, me, Corey, Jensen, Diane and then Jensen started smashing at Corey and I kept setting them up. =PPP Now both Corey and I can catch his smashes.. Anyhoo.. Walked home with Corey and we talked about parent-teacher conferences, intensive french and younger sisters.. haha! He decided to walk my way this time, since the last time I walked his way. I talked to Simon for the first time in... in.. in... prob 5 months. Maybe more..He said he gave up playing badminton coz there was too much warming up to do.. haha..I'm like you play hockey and you can't play badminton?????

This is cute

[FH 8 JH 3]

EARLY DISMISSAL Booyah! Guess what we did in French.. BINGO.. ALL block. Must've been the easiest class yet. We got new seating arrangement. I sit with Brandon and Rachel now. I don't like where I'm sitting, I can't see the board! Have to turn around..Alice gave me the sucker she won from bingo.. =)

Even tho math was an hour, it was still soooooooo damn long.. And.. pfft what's math class without homework.. =(

Slade opened the gym for us to shoot out at lunch. But none of us wanted to or could. O_O.. Just HAVE to have stuff to do on a day when he opens it.

Glad I did all my socials homework over the weekend. Wasn't supposed to bring the textbooks home but.. pfft..everyone does and he ain't expecting me to pass SS if he doesn't get those textbooks sometime soon. I'm getting 89.9%.. It went down!!! >< I'm still beating Alice by 0.1.. =P I handed in my brochure and all my questions are done so I had nothing to do. Was listening to music and flipping through my sheets. hehehe.. one hand cover ear piece, the other cover mp3.. no one knows.. >8D. Chad came to class on crutches.. dislocated his ankle while playing hockey. Ouch..

Science test! He used the same sheets. lol the whole class, I swear was cheating. And Mr D didn't know. I finished the homework so. NO SCIENCE.. =)..

Early dismissal at 1:45.. love early dismissals, teachers can't do anything in classes when it's just an hour long. Slade opened the gym for us to shoot out again and the Jr girls bball team were having their like "wind-up"... or as they called it "scrimmage" haha.. they just played a couple of games and we got half a gym. Went to JH at 3-ish. muahahahaha. I didn't play til most of the games were done. Pat played singles with Jensen.. hmm he played mix with Rajan! And Rajan played singles. Sylvia beat her. hehehe.. We won singles, mix, one girls doubles, guys doubles.. Wanta and Stella had trouble with their games. Went to 3 games in the first match. meep..took SOOOOO long.. They lost to Connie and... her partner..Their SECOND game was the last game to end. 2 hours for 2 matches..hmm well the final score was 8 to 3 for FH.. hmm which means Girls doubles lost one, Simon and Brad lost one and Ke-li and Mark lost one. =T..Well 8:3.. good job!! JH is prob the only school we're close with.. XDD Diane and I were talking about their teachers and coaches.. Their coach is like...gay O_O.. haha.. The nets were put up wrong and they didn't know how to fix it so Slade was like.. it's kinda low on that end, you have to flip it. When they fixed it I walked by their teacher and he was like.. "OH where's that guy?! Is that right?" Maybe it was the way he said it..and the way he said XDDDDD with his hands nicely on his lap.. XPP

lol when we were back in school. Lily's dad was there and her sister was in the car. Lily was like.. hey my sister's in the car. Wonder if the dog's there. I was like OOOO is it is it is it!?!?!?! And she pops his head up. Diane and I were like. OOAHHHHHH!! It was a very loud ... eh.. scream.. haha.. Lily's dog is SHOOOOOOO CUTE.. It's TOO cute.. Imma CRY when I see'im.. He's SOOOO tiny and his fur's so SOFT and AHHHHHHHH...

[Shopping then badminton.. duh oh where does homework fit in?]

Went out this morning at around 10 to Guildford. Shopping! Needed new jeans and some tops. ^^ Went to Urban Behaviour and got a couple..on sale but one was like 29.99 and the other was 9.99.. =P Still pretty good. At least there's a brand on it and not like reject shop quality. Took us so long to get the right ones. haha.. 25.. way too small for me #^^#'''.. I won't say what size I picked in the end but I can say it took us a long while. Then went to a couple of other stores then Sirens and I got 2 tops. Went to wal-mart, got hair dye, jacket, pants, SHOES =). Canvas sneakers~! Went for lunch after that. Didn't see many people today. Just Jennifer on the way out of the car park.

When I got home, I was thinking of finishing some work and then heading out to badminton. Got a call from Dapato. They were at Guildford. GREEAAAAT I come home and they're out there. Could've met up. Hmm anyway. I met them at 4. They were at the rec centre watching Alex and Ted play table tennis. Crazy game. I almost got hit by that ball! O_O! Got there pretty early so we got a court. They didn't pull the basketball hoops back yet and we were rallying and DIANE gets the bird stuck up there.. lmao.. XDDD Jensen tried to poke it out but then it got pushed even deeper. One of the guys from.. GP? He tried to get it out for us since he was taller. But it didn't work, he pushed it in farther. I got the lady to bring that long stick that they use to pull the hoops back. Rallied for a while. Wasn't very energetic today. Very very.. weak.. haha.. My arm's kinda sore. David and Jensen were watching while, Diane, Lily, Sandy and I were rallying. GRRR the bird keeps hitting the frame of the racket. I don't know what it is but ever since I switched rackets, I can't hit it right. Not used to the proace. I kept making weird shots so then David called me over and he let me use his. MP88? I liked that racket. Very firm shot... After I used that, the proace felt weird. The strings on it kinda vibrate when I hit with it. Anyway thanks David! Strange, today that guy that's usually in charge at the counter wasn't here. Well he was but he was somewhere else. That's GOOD. Hate that guy. So at 6:15, I was sitting on the side just watching. Jensen kept asking if I could sell him my dad's racket. lol..The lady came in and told all the youth to get off the courts and that if they wanted to play, they'd have to re-sign up. I just sat. Didn't think I was gonna stay. Lol I was like "Can we stay in here and just watch but not play?" Well it was the truth! I didn't think I was gonna! David came by and asked me if I wanted to string my racket. He was gonna bring in a couple other rackets so he asked if I wanted him to take mine in too. My choice of string colour was purple or lime. Tough decision. I picked lime. Dunno how that's gonna look but I didn't want purple. [and thanks again David]..He was getting ready to leave while talking to us and then these adults asked him if he wanted to play doubles. Took him like half an hour to get changed into his jeans and 5 seconds to get into gym strip, shoes and all..lol..man they got like crazy shots. They guy hit it right at his face. Then dunno what he did but the bird popped up and hit his head. XD I got hit so many times today too.. in the face and I did SOMETHING and it popped on my forehead. Think it was Sandy that hit me in the face. Rallied with Jensen. Did more drills. Fast drops and nets. Then Hogen and Jason wanted to play doubles with us. Wasn't my most lively of days. Eep missed so many! We won the first game and never finished the second coz Hoge had to leave. After that Jensen did some smashes. Muahah I caught em all.. ok most of them.. tee hee.

Hmm to play badminton tmr or not to. I wanna, but then I got tons of work and reading to do and we might have to go to Uncle SH's house to see baby SH.. ^^

[FH 8 -- GP 3\\D'OH snapped my strings]

Did a review test on unité un today. We had a couple of worksheets and oooo I got 15 outta 15 on my l'inversion test. Muahahahaha... I wonder what I got the second time tho!!! She wouldn't give us back that test! That's EVIL! Anyhoo.. So I'm working on the worksheets and Mark's continuously asking me questions and I have Nicole asking me questions too. So I'm listening to Nicole ask me a question and Mark cuts her off and I got like 2 people talking at the same time. So I'm looking down at my work and Mark's asking me "Jamie.. what's quel?" I'm like "...what..." and he goes.. "What's quel" And I'm like "...what".. He reads out the whole sentence and asks it again and I'm like "WHAT" and I finally look up at him and he's got this confused look on his face and I'm like.. Quel is what.. and he goes OHHHH XD lol..French test.. Friday. Meep.. On to Unité deux! =P lol I used felts and wrote on my french dictionary.. Wrote my name on it and pressed it on Alex's arm. He had my name printed on him backwards.. haha.. he wrote his name on my dictionary and pressed it on my arm.. BUT you couldn't really read it. Had red and green felt all over my hands after..

Went to the gym at lunch to check out the line up for todays game. Slade didn't have it set up yet. So he opened half the gym for us to rally. Rallied with Wanta for a while then with Jensen. Did drives, net shots.. Then he started smashing and I caught most of them. He got so frustrated when I caught so many. So then he smashed even harder. THEN I couldn't get them. lol.. good rally..

So many classes got to go to the play!!! And we... had to sit in socials to work on MORE questions.. And ANOTHER project. Confederation Pamphlet.. It's so hard to learn anything in socials when you're not allowed to bring your textbooks home. I'm so lost! and we have our next test next Tuesday. Those new textbooks better come SOON! Had to run down to the gym coz Slade called me down about rides for todays game.

Played GP today.. Doubles with Sylvia and we had 2 of our grade 8s play.. Jensen played singles.. Wanta played singles..Ivan, Corey, Simon and Brad played doubles.. Lily played mix with Dohoon. lol Lily was like NooooOOooOOoOOo.. She was running around back in their games.. haha.. score was like 17-14? 15-13? Something like that. My games.. eh heh.. well first game we played, those people weren't quite sure of the rules. I'd serve on the right side and the girl on the left should get it. But her partner reaches out and gets it. Sylvia returned that first shot and I was like call it.. but you touched it already! We got the point anyway. So we just continued. She did it again and I was like CALL IT..Before we could, one of them was like "Oh.. she's not supposed to hit it. You wanna just start again?" Sylvia looked at her like [Are you joking?]... then she was like "NO.. we already got one point" I was like..whoa.. ok ok.. just play..That game was.. pretty easy. I missed STUPID shots.. dayumn..lol their coach was like.. no swearing.. we don't wanna hear any of that. Sylvia was like SHHHHHH----..NO SWEARING!! NO SWEARING!!.. lol.. that game was 15-3 15-1 I think..I snapped my strings in that game.. lol.. heard a whip/crack and I was like.. My strings snapped.. MY STRINGS SNAPPED! But lucky I had my dad's racket. Lol Jensen wants to buy it. I'm like..it's not..mine..=P.. Second game.. Eep.. Waina and um... what's her name... Ariel!.. Yeh they lost that game to them. Second game was harder... But STUPID STUPID SHOTS.. screwed up too much. It was game point for us... 14-9.. My serve.. short serve.. into the net.. dayumn! Well our games for that one was.. 15-6 15-9.. Something like that.. =S I'm not good with numbers.. Well.. gotta get new strings now.. Jensen said he knows a guy who plays at guildford. And Uncle SH said there's another guy there too. David said he's got strings for me.. so.. hopefully I can restring it soon. Now... math... ugh.. Oh yah.. overall.. we lost 3 games.. so 8 to 3..Corey and Ivan lost both their games. I think it was.. 15-0... 15-1...15-4...15-0? lol.. SOMEWHERE along those lines. Well good try! At least they got SOME points for their first time on the team..

[Homework tonight: Watch the Amazing Race muahahah]

Played that pictionary game in french again. Lol Mme K was like.. Ok get a piece of paper and fold it into 6 parts. When everyone's up getting a word from the vocab list, Mark is still folding the stupid piece of paper. All of us were kinda dead today. So I'm like MARK! GOOOO and he's like.. SHH she SAID to fold it into 6 parts. Lol.. So he runs up to get a word. He was prob the only person who actually did something. So Andrew's group won and Mme K got them suckers. Alice didn't want one. She was like Oh you don't like these ones? I'll give you a choice and she gets some other suckers. While she's doing that, Andrew tosses Mark a sucker and he rips it open right away. When Mme K comes back, she looks at Andrew weird and asks where his sucker went. He looks at Mark lol.. So she's like "Mark did you already eat it?!" and he looks up at her.. no.. Then she goes "did you already open it?".. He pauses and lifts his hand from under the table and goes ..yess.. lol.. She was like "Awgh.. No more candy for you anymore. When your group wins, you won't get getting any candy" lol then Mark goes "We never win"...

Did my math test. Meep..It was the easiest outta everything. I'm QUITE sure I did well on it. But.. but.. but.. =SSS Hope I did.. At least 90% plus like maybe 1 or 2 of the supplement. >< Well we'll know tmr. And Huzyk's doing interims tmr. I hope I play at GP tmr and I get to stay out til like 6 or something. But hey I don't answer the phone anymore. Alice borrowed my calculator yesterday for her physics test? something like that. I forgot to get it from her after school. I remembered when I was in french and I was like SHOOT.. calculator! test! Well we didn't REALLY need it. But.. =P

Had an "interesting" lunch. For once in maybe 2 weeks have we actually sat up on the bridge with nothing to do but talk. We were talking about how Lily's gonna get her dog soon and how it's gonna pee all over her house. Lol I think I said something like don't yell at it.. Then Lily was like my dad won't yell at the dog, he'll yell at me. I screamed out LILY!!!!! And did something... eh... weird.. haha XDD So then Diane's playing with her pop can and I pull the tab off. She draws a face in it with white out and a pen. When I look away she goes JAMIE and when I turn she does the face that the pop can has.. XDDDDDDDDD lmao.. Kinda scary.. haha.. Bumped into Jr and he was telling me if I see Mr Nguyen to get him to bug Fabiano to play the video. Grrrr we still haven't played it yet!!! Now we're wasting time. Ok we're not anymore. Mr Fabiano is.. I know the voice and video are like a SPLIT second off. But we'll fix it in the next one. Geez..

We were doing our "roleplay" in Socials today. Jeff was sitting near the door and Dustin was outside. So we stood there for a while and the whole class prob waited 5 minutes before he let us in. Nafeesa was sitting..uh.. not in her usual spot. So as people came in, everyone was kinda lost. Nafeesa was in Michelle's spot. So Jen and Michelle were kinda lost. They go sit in Nafeesa's seat. Then Mr Van Vugt goes "Girls go back to your seats" and Jen gets all frustrated. The other people just kinda let people take their seats. We were supposed to flip to pages in our textbooks and Atlases while all that happened. When everyone was seating, Mr Van Vugt was like "Well.. we're done the roleplay" I was like.. =S He said that the roleplay was to show us how the Europeans pushed the natives off their land. So in class, we all have a specific seat and we know that. But once someone comes and pushes us off, we get lost and we don't have "our" seat anymore. Pretty interesting. Then he let us watch 2-3 minutes of The Amazing Race in Peru. Showed us some pictures of him in Peru about a year ago. He was in the exact same place as where the video was. Well that part of the class was pretty interesting. The rest, going over our questions.. back to boring..

Finished our lab in Science. Ryan had to re-do his Microscope test so I partnered Caroline. At least we got MORE work done. Tanner was like standing in the lab alone and he was like "ok I'm gonna work with you guys coz my partner isn't here" I asked who his partner was and he said that he didn't know and that she wasn't here. Couldn't figure out who. Then she came and found out it was Alice. lol he kept callingme Wanta. I didn't hear him the first time so I let it go. Then I was like. I'm not Wanta!!! Took him a while to figure out. Ugh.. the cell.. such a short word but such a complicated thing. Beginning to dislike Mr D's way of teaching. He did tell us before, in this class, you either sink or swim. Well he's willing to let us drown. He put up new marks with our chem exams added on. I went down 2.5%!! NOOOO 95.2% now..

Stayed back for practice. Hoped we didn't do a warm up like we did the first time. Did the regular runs and side steps and stuff. Then lunges.. backwards lunges.. then court drills, side to side, front and back..Then that tag game. He set up a couple of drills on courts. Serves, net shots, half court singles, drop net clears, regular games. Got a game tmr.. Guildford Park-Away. whoo hoo.. Hope I'm playing. Prob gonna be a bit harder than Clayton. Shouldn't have started off with such an easy match. hmm I wanna play singles. But then I don't know if I'm up to it right now.. =T I think seniors had a game today.. wonder how they did..

[Jr Match FH vs CH]

AHHH block order changed today! The bell rang when I was at my locker and I grabbed my Socials binder and went upstairs. Before I got into class, I see all these grade 9s in there. I'm like.. hmm.. o RIGHT block switch.. so I run downstairs, get my french and head to THE OTHER SIDE of school..*pant pant pant*...Did our french presentation today. I wasn't nervous at all. Heh.. for once. Usually I get all worked up and my face goes red..Well we did our presentations which took up most of the block. Then Mme K says that we need to review our L'inversion coz a lot of people didn't get it right on the test. Pfft. So we have to copy another set of notes and Troy asks if we can have our test back to see what we got wrong coz we might be rethinking what we did or did not understand and get confused. Mme K's like no you can't you will learn this again and understand it. Psh.. if we don't know what we got wrong, how do we learn? Thought it was all about "learning from your own mistakes"..

Math.. we're on to chapter 4 already! >< NOW it's getting confusing. Long division with Polynomials. Eck..

Went in for practice at lunch and handed in our forms. Lol Mr Slade was like "Ms Poh...I'm sure you did all this right coz you did EVERYTHING right in the PE assignment" And he took off 2 marks, why? Coz I didn't have numbers in my table of contents. mmm.. well we played.. David rallied with me and Lily.. then Wanta and Sylvia came. Wasn't much..

Socials.. mmm.. o crap.. Newspaper article.. I need to add more stuff on it...Doh.. I need Caroline's part..Tmr we're doing some roleplaying thing. Nafeesa wouldn't tell me what we're gonna be doing..

Ugh.. did a Microscope quiz and you need to pass it to be able to use a microscope or something. BUT we did a lab after that.. =S.. So confusing.. There are all these steps and questions. And like my lab partner's Ryan and he doesn't do a thing. So hard to work with people who.. DON'T WORK..Like he's nice and all and I'm TRYING to be friendly and get stuff done. But.. it's not working. I'm starting to dislike Mr D. He's nice to people who play rugby or have played rugby. Needs to be a weeeee little bit nicer. Just.. ugh

Left for our game after school. Could have left earlier but it was too late to send emails to teachers. Was supposed to be a home game but our senior girls bball got into provincials and they need practice..Well Clayton's exactly like our school... haha.. EXACTLY.. Just, they have couches in their cafeteria.. we got.... benches..It was so warm in their gym..I played doubles with Stella. Starts to wonder if he's gonna do this again. Like.. Lily and I have been training for doubles for so long and we've almost got it perfected. Now we're gonna get messed up again. Clayton wasn't that great. Only that guy who we saw at the rec centre was good. Didn't know he went to Clayton. Anyhoo.. Man I messed up so much! Shouldn't have let them get ANY points. We should have won 15-0 15-0 all the way. Gave up stupid shots. But then it was SO weird. Ok.. first of all. I don't think they know the rules. They were like "So how do we decide who goes first?" I'm like. we toss it. She's like OOOOO ok.. and they stand like in a circle and she's like.. 1..2..3 and throws it up in the air. I was gonna laugh so hard. Anyway.. gave up a couple of points which sucked. But it was FH FH FH FH FH FH FH... 11 to nothing.

MEEEP I was playing with the door and it got caught in Lily's shoe and now it's ripped! I'M SORRY LILY! I OWE YOU A NEW PAIR OF SHOES! JUST YOU WAIT!! YOU'LL GET BAM SPANKIN NEW ONES ON YOUR B-DAY!!

[Official]

Ew project.. lol..Mr Van Vugt hasn't marked our tests yet!!! Nooooo!! Have a victorian newspaper to write this weekend. I'm doing mine with Caroline. hmmm

Marked our chem exams today.. 62.5 outta 70.. =S..Stupid mistakes..Devereaux was telling us that the grade 10s he had from last semester were really good but he said we may be better than them. Then he said that the prov average for science is 63 or 65 or something and since FH is supposedly a very academic school, most academic in... em... Lower Mainland? Something.. and our school average was 73? I was like.. ok.. and? If it was like 80-90.. ok maybe that's impressive. But 70s? meh..

Went to look for Ms Mctavish at lunch. Krissy wanted to ask her about taking Art 11 and if she needed prerequisites for it. Lily wanted to ask if we needed Art 10 for Photography 11. Mctavish asked if I was coming back for Art 11.. I was like.. meep.. eh hehehe.. nope.. photography 11.. =P.. I told her if I didn't like photography or if I had an extra space, I could take Art 11 in grade 12. She told me I could probably skip Art 11 and go straight to 12.. =)..I'll just have to keep up with my work and show her samples. I thought that was all we were gonna talk about. But she kept talking and talking about selling our paintings. She asked if I was still drawing and I told her that I did a painting for the library paint-in. Then she started talking about my other work that she was putting in galleries and told me and Lily that we could sell our drawings/paintings. THEN she goes on about how some girl in grade 12 did an intensive art course and Art Careers and had to finish 40 pieces of good art work to get into some institute. After grade 12, she got into Emily Carr.. crazy eh..I wanna do that! Dunno if I can. Continuing on selling our paintings, she said that some girl went to the art gallery in the village and sold a painting through that lady. I asked how much we could sell our paintings for coz we're only in grade 10 and she said we could start already. Said that if it's a print, probably 10 dollars per print. But original, it can go up to 50$. ooooo..She talked about my pointillism assignment which was pinned on the board in the Art room used as an example. Said that she would buy that one coz I put so much effort with the lil dots. And that was a HUGE piece of paper!! Cept all my large assignments, I always cut off a bit of white space. I never manage to fill the entire thing and it's always "Ms Mctavish, can I cut this part off. It's white and I have nothing to fill it with and I'm already done.." hehehe.. I think I'll keep that one. =P.. and I'm still waiting for my owl painting.. There's gonna be a gallery viewing in April and she asked if I could bring my soapstone carving for it. Let's see.. what else did we talk about..Oh yeh about taking pictures of my work. Since I was taking photography, she said I could learn how to take pictures of art work. lol I said I place my drawing on the ground and TRY to take a pic of it and there's always a shadow in it. lol.. then she said that she's tried that too but she got her foot in the picture. She told me to pin the drawing on the window and when the sun shines in on a nice day, it looks good. Well that "lil" talk took up half of lunch and Diane was looking all over for us. =P.. didn't think Mctavish would talk that much. She just wouldn't stop talking!!

Had Mme Monk for French today. We were supposed to work on our projects in class and Brandon was in another group talking. Mme Monk was like.. Brandon! Get back to your group! Then she talks to the girls in his group and says You girls have to make sure he does his work. Stay on top of him. All of us pause for a second. Then Katee looks at Mme M weirdly.. lol..

First class in math that I actually understood it so fast. Diane finally corrected Huzyk. Wonder if he's still gonna keep calling Ke-li, Kelly. He was like.. But it's K-E-L-I.. KEL...LEE.. If it's Ke-li, it would be spelled Kayley. lol..

I had to model our badminton shirt from last year. Slade was like "Jamie! Why don't you be our model for today" I stood up and turned around lol..then he made me stand next to him while he explained our shirt..Half turn.. quarter turn.. and yeh..He made us do warm ups. MAJOR warm ups. 4 times back and forth, side steps, heel kicks, skip steps.. and that other weaving one.. karaoke.. dunno how to spell that one.. Then lunges. Then we played sharks minow seaweed [?].. All the same things he does in P.E.. After that we did a bean bag relay. 5 bean bags, you run back and forth bringing one bag each time to the other end. SOOOOOO tiring. By my 4th one my legs were getting all numb and wobbly. Broke out into games. For people who played last year, we just rallied. But for people who never played on a team before, they went through the basics. Lily and I played Corey and Mark. That was crazy. Beat them so fast in the first game but in the second game, all of a sudden we couldn't hit anything right. It was scary!!! lol.. They beat us in that one. The last game was sooooo long. Like one of those final games near the end that take FOREVER to end. Well we won that one. Jensen was playing that crazy guy, Andy from Semi. Lost the first game so they played again. Andy's reactions are so funny when he misses. The score was like 8 to 1 and like 5 minutes later, Jensen has the serve and he calls 7:3. I was like.. wait... then Lily looks at me and she's all puzzled. Andy was all confused too. So then I yelled out at Jensen that he had 9 and he was like o 9?? YEAH.. lol.. Crazy game. It's like.. clear, drop, net, net, net, net, lift, net. Jensen lifted it too high and Andy was RIGHT infront of him. He screamed and placed his hands over him. haha.. Well Jensen beat him in the last game. He beat Andy!! Said that the seniors want him to play with them for the rest of the season. Nooooo if he leaves, that means we've lost a chance to def win mix and singles. This weekend.. badminton badminton badminton!! Slade said we're playing LA Matheson on Monday. Home game. I just checked the schedule online and it says we play Clayton Heights on Monday, homegame..hmm my mom was telling me that Donna talked to her today. She said "Did you know that your daughter is a very good badminton player?" lol.. tee hee hee

[Tiger Beer]

Check out your horoscope. It's creepy. Mine is like... REALLY scary.. sounds like me =P

"You know a little bit about everything thanks to extensive reading. As a student, you probably excelled at the subjects you loved and struggled in the classes you disliked. This made you somewhat of a puzzle to your teachers. Fortunately, you care very little about impressing others with your intellectual prowess. Learning is a form of entertainment for you.

Your tremendous creative ability may draw you to a profession in the arts. You'd make an excellent film director, music composer, or playwright. Working with children is possible, as you have a very youthful spirit. You may want to consider a career in teaching, childcare, or social work. Ultimately, you need a job that allows you to be expressive and versatile. Following an established routine has very little appeal for you.

People who are mystical and meditative comprise the greater part of your social circle. Gemini's, Sagittarians, Aquarians, and Pisceans encourage you to think, question, and dream. In love, you're best suited to somebody who is spiritual and artistic. There's a good chance you could meet your mate at a cultural event. Alternately, you could pair up with somebody who introduces you to a new religion.

You say what you mean and you mean what you say. 'Twins born in other years are prone to exaggeration, but not you. You do, however, gravitate toward people who are dreamy and idealistic. You're wonderful at finding practical ways to make fantastic plans come true. Consequently, you feel right at home with kooky, artistic types.

The greatest challenge you face is a disdain for structure. Resist the urge to buck the system just for the sake of rebellion. Your biggest strength is your capacity for joy. You're smart enough to know that intelligence has very little to do with happiness."

Did my Chem Unit Exam this morning. Full double block of it. Well.. I finished earlier. At break, most of us finished the first part. Ms Purewal was like "You guys can have your 10 minute break but you have to go outside to talk". Lol so everyone stood outside the class talking about the exam and exchanging answers.. XD.. haha.. we're all like asking each other what answers they got =P. That's one way you can "cheat".. lol. Was a pretty easy test. Next we're on to biology.. ugh..

Had a meeting at lunch. Went to the library to look for Mr Nguyen and found him in the career office but on our way in, we bumped into Ms Whitlock. She was like "O are you one of the artists who did the paint in?" I looked across to where our paintings were and there were blue ribbons on them. =).. hehe.. so both Lily and I got a gift card for Opus in Langley.. crazay..well 10 bucks worth of art supplies there..ooo do I get to keep the blue ribbon and my painting? lol I'm gonna get my painting back.. and I have to figure out when my art final is going into that whatever gallery that Mctavish was talking about...Mr Nguyen was showing these grade 8s what it's all about and stuff. One of them's willing to be on screen.. whoo hoo.. and the other guy, Jared from dance [lol yes that's what I'm gonna call him now], he wants to do production or camera. So that's pretty good too. Fabiano has the dvd now BUT he wants us to fix the "dubbing" lol..right now it looks like poor dubbing. Anyways, I asked if they could plug the cpu into the main system and play it from there. But Nguyen isn't sure if we have the cable. Was gonna go play badminton. There weren't THAT many people playing. But still pretty crammed. I guess the grade 8s gave up coming by.. lol..

oooo man.. math.. ugh.. At the start of class Huzyk congradulated me. I was thinking.. Ok what is he congradulating me for. Badminton? Found out we beat Elgin 11 to 0 and Semi 7 to 4.. preeeeeetty good.. =P.. Then he said that I won the art contest. =) So I was like.. o.. right yeh.. He's doing interim reports next Weds.. Eep.. I gotta raise my mark in the next test [as Diane says] MAHN.. dahhhh.. ><.. I have til Tuesday.

Diane didn't wanna go home so she walked home with me. At the four way, we bumped into my sister who was walking Pepper. I was REALLY early today. I didn't have to get anything from my locker. 3pm reaching home. Usually I get home at 3:15.. Anyways, Dapato's got her homestays at her place and according to her the lil girl's very annoying. lol... ALL GOOD DIANE!!! You'll survive.. Was working on my french project when my cousin msged me saying that someone called him asking for a Jamie Poh. O_O.. lol she was asking if JAMIE was gonna deliver soft drinks to her store. *shifty eyes <_<...>_>* Wasn't me who did it! lol.. Anyway.. small world eh.. Wonder how many Jamie Pohs there are in the world... GASP.. Muahaha tmr's our first official Jr practice.. Awesome. Wonder if we're gonna start training. Running.. drills.. and all that other stuff. Everything is great cept for the running from the left to the right of the court. I hate that drill. But everything else.. all good.. Lily said that our first game's on monday.. GASP..so soon..hasn't even started and I feel like it's over...Anyhoo..I shall go re-do my math now..

[To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing]

OOoo didn't expect the socials test to.. ok turn out this way.. haha 55 MCs and 4 short answer. The first part of the MC was like.. easy easy easy.. there were one or two tricky ones but other than that pretty straight forward.. Not sure if my "paragraphs" were long enough. But well.. 5 marks each...hmmm Now on to unit 2.. dahh we start again with the question sheets. Socials.. alllllll about worksheets and reading.. We were sooo chatty today.. lol. Thomas, Sylvia, Chad and I were talk talk talking and Mr V called our names like 2wice.. never happened before.. finally our Socials class is starting to TALK.. So Thomas is looking through my pencil case and he finds all my weird pencils that are "too high tech" for him. Then he pulls our my staples and asks WHY ON EARTH I would buy coloured staples. Then he asks where my stapler is so I pull it out for him and he looked at it puzzled and didn't get it. So I flicked it open and he took it from me. lol..All of us are watching him fiddle with this stapler and he presses it. BAM staple went through his finger. lol.. Very smart of him. Starts bleeding and the staple was red anyway. I was like.. and it's NOT coz of the staple bullet.. Read these sheets that talked about the lifestyles people lived in like the 1800s. "3 ways to win a hockey match... someone scores...penalties.. or if someone falls through the ice and are in danger of drowning.." haha.. interesting..

Ugh we have our French project due Monday. Mme K wasn't here today. Apparently it's like TOC exchange day? Something like that. So her partner came in. She teaches elementary. lol we were playing "games" today. Had to do another one of those ask people questions and get them to sign your sheet things. =S.. Andrew's like.. HEY HEY YOU.. sign here.. and.. here.. and here.. lol.. Then we played this game where you have a noun pasted on your back and you have to ask people questions about it and try to guess who it is. That was tough.. Like how on EARTH would I know any baseball team names. I don't even watch baseball. I had like.. Seattle Mariners.. some other people had weird names. Anyhoo.. next game was some brain teaser. Just using l'inversion and the adverbe and stuff..We were supposed to work on our projects near the end of class and we decided our parts and all we needed was to type it up on the computer and print it off. Then Nicole suggested sending everything to her and she'll paste the stuff on. But then the TOC made us use one of their sheets. Our group was just.. mehhhhh. Mark was helping Nicole with a math question lol so he's got this piece of paper and he's writing equations down. Mme T walks by and she's like "You guys should be working on your project" and we're like well we've already assigned our parts and we know what we're going to do. Then she's like no you have to work on it now. When she goes away, Mark continues explaining and the next time she walks around, she's right behind them, Mark's like "And this is c-apostrophe-est d-i-n-g-u-e which MEANS It's Crazy...You see.. that is how you spell it." lmao XDDDD..Mark looks up at her and goes.. What? We're learning french.. lol.. When she leaves again, they get back to math and she comes back AGAIN and Mark just throws the paper away and tosses the pencil at Nicole.. that was funny.. lol Also, Mark was talking about how french is just like english words with a different accent. And he's like "It's all the same! You just gotta change the ending like.. like ROLL your RRrrrrrrr's.. and like "accent".. in french it'll be like "axxxxcsssent" and "How was your day? My day was super.. "Suppaaayerr"" ah.. french.. fun..Then Mme T comes by and she talks to Alex. She explains something in French to him and Alex is silent for like 8 seconds. I look at him and he's like staring at her. So was Mark.. lol they like didn't get a word she said... So then we start talking about lates for class and how when Monk was teaching, they couldn't be late. Mme Monk was sitting across the class on her cpu..So Mark goes on and on about how she would be all mad and stuff. Then he asks Rachel "What would she do when we were late?" And Rachel's like "YEAH omg we can't be late.. If we are she'd be like *swings long ruler and does stabbing gestures* "DARR DON'T EVER BE LATE AGAIN!!" Lmao.. Mme T was like SHHHHHHHH and Rachel just walks off.. lol that was hilarious...

Awgh class took forever to end. FOREVER! Went to badminton after school and rallied. Not many seniors came. The gym was kinda deserted. No more grade 8s come either. Phew..Don't like the crowd. Did lotta running today and practiced net shots with Jensen. He tried to master his crazy shot. Then asked me to try it. lol I didn't get it.. =P.. So then we got Corey to play a game with Ke-li to see who's better. Ke-li beat him. Then Jensen played Ke-li and he was like "Uh-oh. watch me get beaten".. ah.. Ok.. science test tmr. Then no more tests til Tuesday. lol when I was in the gym, David was like.. So how's Jamie and I'm like Jamie's good. Then he says So you miss Jr try-outs yesterday and your name's on the top of the list eh. lol.. heehee..On my way home, I saw Tanner shooting hoops on his driveway. Didn't know he lived there. It's like RIGHT along the road. The ball came my way and he called out my name for me to get it for him. So then we talked for a bit and I asked how he could play basketball along the road. lol He was like.. I try.. I try.. I've never ever talked to him before. NEVER.. =P..

[Booyah]

Ick Socials test tmr!!! I was thinking about it last night. We didn't have our textbooks. Mr Van Vugt said that he'd give them to us today and the block Bs got it yesterday which meant he wouldn't see them til after us. So this morning he made an announcement at like 8:05 asking block B to bring their textbooks to room 205. Yeh like no one came.

BIG Chem test on Thursday. Oh Boy...But before I can review for Chem I gotta do SS.. ugh. Mr D got so pissed at us today. Oh ya.. New seating plan. I still sit in my spot =P. But I have Caroline next to me now.

Had a meeting at lunch for both Sr badminton and broadcasting. Signed up for badminton.. found out I'm playing doubles too... with Jessy. So signed some form for broadcasting.. and signed up for Sr badminton. Jrs are allowed 3 games in the Sr league. So Jensen got put in like all the events. I played mix and doubles. Had to run up to room 210 to pick up my socials textbook then go to the library. Sat with Wanta, Corey and this grade 8 dude.. I think his name's Mark. Hilarious.. was listening to him talk to Corey and it's like.. Question after question after question.. Before Corey can answer where he lives, it's do you get allowance? lol.. interesting..

Noooooo project for French! DAHHHH..I had to go to my counsellors appointment at 1 and Mme K was explaining the project. It was like 3 minutes past 1 and I turned to Alex and asked if I should just go. He was gonna answer me and Mme K's like JAMIE!.. = =..So I left for my appointment and it was great. Counsellors are only nice when you talk to them ALONE.. when they're talking to a class.. ugh.. mean.. So now I'm taking Socials 11, English 11, Portfolio Prep, Earth Science 11, Photography 11, Textiles 11, Math 11 and Marketing 12. And I'll get rid of my language this Summer, French 11. Meep...

Went through homework in Math. Only got to notes at the end of the block at like 2:30 and I had to leave. I was late! Was supposed to get out of class at 2:20. Oops.. Well we got there pretty early.. Rallied and stuff.. Jessy and I played doubles in the small gym. haha when I was rallying them, they kept talking and they're like.. oo man we're gonna lose.. she can so beat us.. lol.. okayyyyy.. Score was 11:1, 11:0 for us.. whoo hoo.. Second game was slightly tougher but still good.. 11:4, 11:6? I think? Something like that. Everyone else won their games cept for the guys doubles. Those were pretty tough. But hey.. I think Harry and Joon got to match 3 so that's good.. Girls doubles, Annie and Grace.. they won.. Jessy and Jen, they won too..So did Esther in singles. I must have sat there waiting for an hour.. My fingers were freezing. Then Esther comes to sit by me and she starts talking about the games and ooo man.. freaking me out there.. haha.. she's like OH NO THEY LOST A POINT! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!! haha.. funnn.. Jensen beat Pat in singles.. that was good.. Then we played mix.. I was like DAHHHHH.. Grace, Annie and Jessy look at me and go NO PRESSURE!.. But... YOU GOTTA WIN!!.. lol.. Hoge and Jensen are just like.. No pressure.. get all the shots..just dive for them.. The girl who played with Patrick wasn't as good as Xenia.. so that was a win for us.. Forgot the scores.. hmm 11 toooooo... 6? 7? something like that. All good all good... lol Mr Pocock drove us back, and Jessy asked if we could go get ice cream. He droves us to Mac D's and got us sundaes. Jessy said it was like toonie tuesday or something.. When he saw the receipt it was like 4 something? I heard 2 something.. But is that possible for 4 sundaes? Pocock was like.. man you guys are cheap.. haha =P.. mmmmm ice cream.. I can't wait for Jr season to start. There were all these boy scouts in school when we got back. Kids EVERYWHERE...Sat on the bench and talked to Joon and he was like oooo food.. I want some!! I'm like.. go steal one of those kids' uniforms and sneak in.. haha and he was like.. Oh YEAH I'm so gonna fit into them. I'm like.. lmao.. yeh you can just say uhhh.. your uniform SHRANK..
