Today...Or Yesterday?

Well, yesterday I did my first CSI lab, which was the Crime Scene Sketch. It was so foreign to me and rushed, but we got more time today to finish it up. It was kind of weird though because some of the evidence had been moved or changed lol. Totally failed xD haha. For example, the phone that was there yesterday was COMPLETELY different from what was there today and the ripped up pieces of paper on the floor were no where near the same formation that they were in yesterday. Well, whatever. We're done with it and that's the most important part. Bring on the next unit lol!

Yesterday, I went on THE most boring trip EVER!! Like for heavens sake, trips are meant to be fun! This was unbelievably boring and frustrating. We went downtown to Nathan Phillips Square for the grand opening or some sort of speech for the Peace Garden. The Peace Garden was gorgeous, but the way they organized this whole event was extraordinarily messy (haha big words :D although I don't even know if it's the right word to use xD). They actually invited elementary schools. I mean sure, you want younger kids to know their responsibility of the future, but you can keep the grade 5/6 and lower out of it. They're too young and irrational to even pay attention or understand everything. I know this because I was beside this group of what looked to be grade 4's and they were jumping all over each other screaming and laughing. It was crazy how annoyed I was, but you can't blame me when I needed to hear what was being said to write a response report later on. Well either way, the kids were just as bored as I was. They just happened to waste their time doing stupid things. I was too bored and didn't exactly know what was happening, so I sat on the ledge of something concrete and solid to read my lovely book, Prom Dates From Hell [I stayed up until 12 something when I knew I had to get up at 5:45 to finish reading it because it was that good :)].

So, tell me if you've ever had such a boring or pointless trip and we'll compare and determine who's trip really sucked the most ;).

Very Late & Long

Okay, so like I forgot to blog for THE longest time so far. I hope it'll never happen again xD. So I'd like to describe my whole semi-lovely super-long weekend. Thursday was a huge day of absolutely nothing. It was such a pointless day because we had 5 periods of 30 minutes and then had a school opening mass and a SAC BBQ. After the BBQ, there were activities galore, but most people left for an early day off to the mall or something. Me? I usually leave early, but this year I had OASIS after school, so I had 2 hours to waste. So what did I do for 2 hours? I met with Jaira (she had basketball after school) after we grabbed our hot dogs, chips, and drink and headed for Pit Stop to grab some REAL food lol. Of course, we underestimated the hot dog, drink, and chips and ended up getting take out for most of our food xD. Well whatever, because I got to keep the food for the night to eat since we didn't get much for the night, but I was wrong yet again. So I didn't get to eat the food until the next day which was kinda gross so I threw most of it out. What a waste of money T_T.

Now, OASIS, which started on Thursday after school and all of Friday, was a BLAST!! I can proudly say that the grade 9's this year are much more respectable than lats year and easier to deal with. On top of that, my team especially was GREAT!! I love them all! Team O for the win!! Obama! "Obamaa!! OBAMAAA!!!" was basically our cheer when we weren't asked to create a new one. Throughout the whole OASIS event, our team had created like 3 or 4 cheers which is great considering how other teams stuck with their original ones, not bothering to think of new ones (but that's just my opinion and totally biased xD). Well either way, we may have not had the best schedule of activities, but our team stayed mostly positive :). I feel like I've made 14 new friends (or at least 12 lol) and I appreciate it a lot so I added them on facebook haha :D!

So after the whole OASIS thing, I had to deal with my birthday weekend! It was definitely rushed because after OASIS on Friday, I had to get Saturday's party with my friends sorted out. Let me tell you, it was not easy at all. Why? Because majority of my friends are in university and some are as far as Waterloo, sooo...complications much? But I did have a surprise greeting on Friday evening after coming back from OASIS! I met my awesome friends from Waterloo for some odd reason. They were waiting at the front doors and as soon as I saw them, my energy jumped and I jumped them lol. Well anyways, they came to my party the next day so it was nice seeing them a day before too. Back to Saturday, we partied from early lunch 'til the not so late hours of 8:30 which totally sucked from our usually longer parties, but I can't expect much from my university boggled friends. I was just glad they made it because a bunch of other friends couldn't come which made the day slightly sad, but I definitely had more ups than downs (hehe :D).

Now of course, my actual birthday was not on Saturday, but Sunday! I had a lot of stuff to do on Sunday along with everyone else and so I decided I'd get more party time on Saturday with my friends and Sunday night belonged with my family. During the day though, I had to go to the University Fair downtown to research my future. It was not fun. I was sick (from Friday), I was tired, I was sore, and I had come down last year as well! But of course it's best to go down the year of to find out the most updated information. So I spent my birthday doing such a boring task, but at least before that I went to church and got many wishes from our very closely knit "church family" of ushers :).

So I think that's all for my weekend that's on my mind lol. Thanks to the many facebook wishes and msn wishes and of course the face to face ones haha AND I love the gifts I got on Saturday, so I hope my friends see this! [Just a little side note: Prom Dates From Hell IS SUCH AN AWESOME BOOK!! I LOVE IT! LOL COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!] I seriously love you all ♥!!

XOXO

Uncommitted & Irresponsible People...

You know what really ticks me off? Well, the title probably gives it away, but I'm going to say it again anyways:

UNCOMMITTED PEOPLE!!!

Gosh, it just ticks me off when people say they'll do something or have a job that they are responsible for and shouldn't have to be told to do it and they just don't do it!! That's another important word: RESPONSIBILITY!! So you may be wondering what has got me ranting about this? Well, allow me to tell you.

So yesterday, I was late for school...AGAIN!! I've been late more so these past few weeks than I usually have in a whole year!! And I don't know about you, but I'm prided on my mostly scotch-free attendance. So it's frustrating. So like I carpool with this girl in my school who also happens to live around the block from me and has a younger brother going to another school. So their mother drives me and this year she's decided to come later than she used to and that's because she was laid off and thus wants to go later so she can sleep in more -_-. That sounds pretty selfish to me. As a result, I'm either late or just making it, which means as soon as I get in, I have to rush and personally I hate having to rush. I want to have that extra time so that I can relax and not end up forgetting something because I'm rushing. So anyways, yesterday I'm waiting at the door from 7:40 to 8:15 with nothing to do. At 8:20 I figure it's a bit weird that they haven't come yet so I decide to all. I get told that the daughter isn't going to school. "=_=...WTF?!?!" is my reaction in my mind because what the hell?!?! How can she decide that and NOT tell me to go on my own. Considering the time that I ended up waiting for, I could've left and made it to school EARLY!! Now, I can't stand having to go with her and so I told my mom to cut off going with them. Just got to wait for the end of the month and I'll be safe.

See, the thing is that I carpooled in elementary school too and that driver was SO responsible and even if her daughter didn't go to school, she'd still come to drive my sister and I to school. Not to mention that she was always on time and very consistent. It was sad to see her go.

So that's my story of being very pissed in the morning yesterday. Thanks for reading and leave your comments below :)!!

P.S. Today is our school's opening mass and SAC BBQ (which they're calling Q09 this year xD) so it's a civies day which always makes people happy. The shortened periods on the other hand frustrate people because it's so pointless, but that's not the point. The point is that after school today, we've got OASIS!! Games all afternoon, sleepover at school, and then off to Camp Robin Hood early tomorrow morning :D! It's gonna be a fun packed weekend because it's also my birthday weekend!!! So excited!! Bring on the weekend and FUN!!!

Emotion: Pissed then, Happy now.

To Do Or Not To Do...

So, I'm in Business TRYING to get some Accounting done, but it's not happening haha. Maybe I'll just go to English next period and read my ISP novel. At least then I'd be getting something done, hopefully. This morning I was so into the fact that I have to finish Accounting today by spending the whole morning in Business and then I can work on Math all afternoon, but as soon as I walked into Business, I got all depressed and didn't feel like working anymore lol.

While all this happened, I met my sister's old TA and curling coach. Of course she asked me if I'd be joining the team this year. *Sigh* I told her that I'd have to see depending on my homework, you know? But she retaliated with the fact that it's only once a week and we need girls. So not only do I have to be there on Wednesday for the meeting, but I should bring a friend too -_-...Jaira is my target lmfao!! Who knows if we'll even HAVE a girls team this year...well, might as well check it out and get the exercise.

So, it's nearing the end of the period and the only thing I did was finish an income statement. This is so sad...Well, let the Day 0's (1-10) begin!

P.S. Oh yea! Today is also photo day for student cards, TTC cards, yearbook, AND the dreaded ID cards. Apparently the lanyards were late, so we won't be getting the ID badges until Wednesday (thank goodness!).

First Day C

So, today was our school's FIRST day c which is just replacing the day 1 because we don't have floor times, but it's basically the first day we didn't have to follow our stupid schedules!! Whoopiee!! But I missed it. What for? For OASIS Camp Robin Hood Leadership Training!! It was a BLAST!! Well, not so much the long ass talk in the beginning, but the stuff after. We explored a reasonable amount of the camp and activities. We also had a very fun leader, Shelby. The activities we got to actually try were:

Marble Madness

Objective: To transport a golden egg back to its nest without touching it with your hands in the shortest amount of time.

Rules: Using the tubes provided, each member of the group has to transport the golden egg (golf ball) from point A to B. The group must maintain the same order throughout the activity and each member must have the egg pass through their tube at least once before returning it to the nest. Must restart if the egg drops or is touched.

Shrinking Island

Objective: Participants are challenged to keep their groups' place on the "shrinking island".

Rules: Everyone must fit onto the tarp which starts out full, then shrinks each time the task is a success. At least one foot must be on the tarp and you can't be on the grass.

Team Ski's

Objective: To travel between 2 designated points i nthe shortest time while remaining on the skis.

Rules: Teams have 3 minutes to decide on a strategy. Start on leader's call and asses a 10 second penalty if a body part touches the ground.

Variations: Have the group travel backwards or side-ways between points. Some people on the ski's are backwards. Some may have their eyes closed.

Spider Web

Objective: For the whole group to pass through the web without causing the strings to move, thus awakening the spide and being eaten.

Rules: Each group member should pass through the web one at a time. Each member must use a different hole.

Tension Traverse

Objective: For the group as a whole to travel the whole length of the series of cables without falling or stepping off. If someone falls or steps off the cable, that person, returns to the end of the line.

Rules: If a fall is imminent, participants should step off the cable and not pull off other participants.

Low Wall

Objective: To physically move a group over an 8" - 14" wall in an efficient and safe manner.

Rules: Max. 4 people allowed o nthe wall at all times (3 top, 1 climber). The sides may not be used in any way. Anyone not involved in climbing, should be spotting and after the climber reaches the top, if not part of the 3 top, then should come down to spot.

So, that's all of them lol. I had tons of fun on the Tension Traverse haha. Although, we didn't have more than 3 people on the cable at once, but when I was on it, I almost punched someone in the face haha. We were introduced to a lot of other activities, but didn't get a chance to try them. We were told about the Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Chocolate River, (all) High Ropes, (all) Low Ropes, Gilligan's Island, Whale Watch, and Trust Falls. It was definitely a fun-filled day. After every activity, there was a deprief where we had a little talk about what we learnt from each of the activities which was a nice reflection time. It was really fun for me just because I tried a lot of activities that I never would've done in grade 9. I remember being so afraid of trying Trust Falls back then, but now I was so eager to jump in and give it a shot.

So once we finished up at camp, we went back to school to meet our grade 9 teams! It was loud, crowded, and fun (of course)! This year, OASIS and Camp Robin Hood will be an experience I definitely won't forget about!

P.S. Big Happy Birthday to my close friend, Edward! Hope he had an AWESOME dayy! Now he's 16!! The big 16 that almost all girls wait for (Sweet 16!!). He is now the same age as me -_-...for a week and a half lol. This is sadd...

The Long and Awaited

O.M.G. I totally forgot to update for so many days -_-...stupid school work. I'm already crammed with homework and it's only the first week. This is sooo sad...I hate scheduled days. There's like no time to do homework during class because the teachers keep going on and on. Especially for calculus and Data, jeez.

Oh gosh, I know I should be paying attention, but instead I'm blogging during my Data class haha. But seriously, I'm being taught how to figure out the median!! Well whatever, I knew I'd get a lecture about something pointless lol. Even Jaira ditched! Grr...I'll get back at her later so she better have a good excuse!!

So I've been packed with homework. Religion, Calc and CSI have been keeping me busy and I haven't even touched my Accounting or Data. I'm soooo lost in Calc!! But now my schedule has been changed a bit because of adding Advanced Functions in. Sadly there isn't sunset for upgrading Advanced Functions, so my spare is no longer existant =(. Calculus got moved to Day 2 period 1 and Advanced Functions took up the Calc spot. Kinda sucks because I lost a Calc buddy, but I'm pretty sure I saw someone with Calc on day 2 period 1, but I can't be sure. In return I know I'll have a buddy in Advanced Functions :)! So we'll see how it goes, I guess.

I'll try my best to keep up my blogs and try to get in a blog every other day instead of every day now due to school. So, leave me comments and let me know if any of your teachers ramble on about pointless things and what you think about it :).

Second Day of School...

This is getting tiring...ALREADY! Gosh, I want to nap sooo bad. I really feel like I'm going to close my eyes one time and they won't open again. So, before that happens, I should post another blog lol. So today was...tiring as you may already know. I had a spare in the morning (which was crap!!) and Forensic Science second period. It was really fun learning about the course and what's coming up. The first unit is pretty simple and easy, but A LOT of reading. As if English didn't have enough reading as it is. So after that, I had lunch...IN THE BASEMENT with the "niners" (inside joke lol) because I was dragged there by my so called "only friend." *sigh*...After lunch, I had English which went well and I'm definitely looking forward to the course with such an awesome teacher (suckers for anyone who doesn't have who I have haha!). For forth period, I had Religion with a new Religion teacher, but she's been in our school for 5 years and was just married last year, thus having to change her name. She's REALLY nice and fun, but strict and a hard working. It'll be a miracle if I finish Religion with a decent mark :(! I'm sick of Religion already and this work is sooooo frustrating...I really don't want to do it, but I guess for the sake of graduating on stage, I'll suck it up and just get it over with...*sigh*...Well, back to homework I guess. Whoopdeedoo -_-...

P.S. Omg this morning was hell because the stupid person I carpool with came late and thus I was late to school too! I was sooo mad! Thank goodness there was an assembly and started with the grade 9/10's. I was still marked late, but I wasn't late for class. Let's home tomorrow isn't the same or I swear I'll start busing to school.

First Day of School!!!

So, first day of school lol! The big whoopiee. I can't say I had an amazing time, but there was quite a bit of excitment. Lots of changes though. One of the instrumental teachers decided to grow a beard, so that's kind of funny. He looks a lot like a version of Jesus haha! It's nice seeing some of my favourite teachers and some friends and of course my TA lol (pftt)!

Oh.My.God, we've got SIX new TA buddies! I was so shocked!! I thought it was only supposed to be 4, but it's actually 5, plus one new grade 10. On the other hand, we did lose 2 grade 11's and 1 grade 12, plus a graduate. So I guess it all balances out somewhat. Oh, and we've finally got a somewhat equal number of males to females lol. Usually it's female dominance with only 2 or 3 guys, but thanks to the niners, we've got more.

So, my timetable is pretty decent. I like the teachers and I simply have to add one thing to my timetable and I'm set for the year :). There is one thing I'm mad about. That would be the fact that I have a spare 1st period!! My gosh! That's the WORST time to have a spare! Why? Because you're forced to come to school early for check in and then straight to the cafe with nothing to do, while you could've had more time to sleep in if it wasn't for attendance -_-. I hate my spare, BUT it beats having calc in the morning haha!

This is basically my scheduled days:

Day 1 (or Day A as they like to call it) - (1st) Data, (2nd) Instrumental, (3rd) Accounting, (4th) Calculus.

Day 2 (aka Day B) - (1st) SPARE (boooo), (2nd) Forensic Science, (3rd) English, (4th) Religion.

So that's my days until this torture is over and bring on Days 1 - 10 lol. I like Day 0's better.

Oh! Here's a little side story of something sooo very awkward today. In band class, I find out I'm in the same class as my summer ex and so I sit on the opposite side of the room from him. I'm totally a loner in this class BTW. So like my teacher (Jatiouk) finally starts talking and asks if anything big happened this summer. Us being the group who went to Australia, how could we POSSIBLY afford to go on another trip lol? So no one said anything and then he asks if anyone found LOVE!! It was soooooo awkward because I catch my ex looking at me and I just look away. I've said it twice and I'll say it again: A.W.K.W.A.R.D!!!!!!!!!!! Soooooo Veryyyyy Awkwardddd...

So, that's my first day and my side story. Why don't you leave a comment below and tell me about your first day and/or any awkward moments you've gone through ;).

P.S. Happy Birthday to a good friend: Harry who went to Waterloo (my hopeful university) for school! lol hope you're having fun with frosh week!!

Last Day of Summer Vaca

Last day of summer vacation! Woohoo or boohoo!?

Personally, I can't wait to get into school and start my last year of high school! Usually I wouldn't be saying this, but I can't say this summer was all that great either. It was mostly just relaxing at home and chilling every once in a while. Sure, I enjoyed it nonetheless, but it was nothing like my usual summers which were packed with plans. Either way, I can't wait for school to start up tomorrow. I feel like this year is going to be different and I hope it will be since all my other years were pretty damn sloppy.

My courses are pretty cool too. I've got English and Religion (of course), Calculus (boo), Advanced Functions (fun!), Data Management (yayy!), Accounting (yes!!), the new CSI course (woohoo!!), and of course Instrumental Music (!!!). It'll be an eventful year full of fun ups and downs, especially considering I managed to make it for OASIS!! So glad that I made it for my last year. It'll definitely be one of my highlights for the year.

Of course I'm also looking forward to meeting the new teachers as well as my own teachers for the year. Gonna make my last year a BLAST!!

Shoutouts to all my friends who graduated and are off to University or College for their first year!! Goodluck to you all :)!! I'll definitely miss you all :( *hearts*!

So, leave your comments below and lemme know how your summer has been and if it's a woohoo or a boohoo that it's ending! Oh, and of course lemme know why it's either or :). Laters y'all!!

PDA

P.D.A. - A public display of affection is the physical demonstration of affection for another person while in the view of others.

Wow, I CANNOT explain how much PDA annoys me!! The definition sounds so unbelievably innocent, but it's been taken to a completely new level. What do I mean when I say that, you may ask. Well allow me to explain. The proper way of displaying affection in public would simply be holding hands and short kisses or comfortable hugs, but no. What do you see now a days? You see french kissing, hands inside the others' clothing, cuddling to no end, and DRY HUMPING (which is practically sex)!! I don't know about you, but my eyes can take that kind of torture.

Well, that's my opinion from the outside. I don't know how it feels on the inside because I would personally never do it with my boyfriend, but it may be nice for the ones doing it. They might feel loved and I don't know their stories so it might be a once in a month kind of thing or something along those lines...ANYWAYS, I can say this because I have been a victim to PDA for the longest time. By whom, you may ask. Well none other than my friends. I can also say this on behalf of many of my other friends who have to sit through this as well, but it is VERY uncomfortable. I mean they cuddle unnecessarily and are constantly holding hands like they can't possibly be separated or they're die. On top of that, seeing pictures of them kissing is THE WORST!! I just want to gouge my eyes out, but once again, I don't really know. It might just sound like I'm jealous, but I don't think I'd want someone to slobber all over my face while in public or feel a bulge against my...yeaa....

So yea! PDA is not my thing, but is it yours? Lemme know and I'm sorry if you're someone who does PDA and are offended. I'm just stating my opinion and appologize if I've offended you in any way, but please keep the PDA to a minimum and get a room if you want to do anything =). Thank you.

Oh, so here's a side story of something that really annoys me regarding couples. PARTIES! It really bugs me when the host of the party automatically assumes that if you invite someone in a relationship, that the other has to be there. Or when someone invites theird gf/bf to a party when their not the host and the host doesn't know their gf/bf. That REALLY bugs me. I mean seriously? The person has NOTHING to do with the party and it's not like they can't be away from their lover for like a few hours or a day or something. It's not a day to be spent with your lover. It's a day for the host or for friends to get together or whatever the celebration is about. What gets to me the most is if the host is paying and they've got to pay for extra bodies who they don't know or aren't close with. Like really, you're NOT attached at the hips. You can be apart.

So, that's my rant for the day, although I already have the topic for the next blog in my mind already. So follow along and give me your comments, questions, and concerns! Maybe I'll make a blog on them ;D!

P.S. I just made this account because my REALLY close friend made an account and wants to keep one going for as long as he can. I've also always liked writing about absolutely anything, so this is my first blog after having LiveJournal and not using it much. Although I didn't use it much, I can say that I really liked one thing that they had, which is the emotion and the current music stuff, so even though there isn't a option to do that, I'm going to write that in every one of my journals at the end. If you'd like, you can write how you feel or what you're listening to as your read my blog! That'd be great. So enjoy =)!!
