Inspiration

At times when you think that you have failed at everything, you have really just succeeded. You have realized that you are not perfect, that not everything turns out just right in life.

Think about all the good things you have done, the good times in your life. You have definitely made a difference in someone else’s life, you just don’t know it – I can guarantee it. If you are reading this blog, you have made a difference in my life.

Think about this: How can I do any better? What can I do to make a difference, to help more people, to change the world, one small step at a time?

Think about the future, not the past. Hope for the best, not the worst.

Believe in yourself and you too can make a difference in the world.

keeping it alive

Okay, today was an overall good day

This morning I didn’t want to wake up, I wanted to skip first period and sleep in. then I woke up and realized that I wasn’t tired, so I took a shower. For some reason I felt compelled to write my English cpt, so that’s what I did. I never usually do homework in the morning, but today I did my cpt. In half an hour… which is weird.

Religion we had a supply, thus I should have not gone to class, but I have to go tomorrow.

Biology was pretty good, I always like bio class. But I messed up on the quiz we had, which is not good.

After school we had a STAND meeting. Which went pretty well. Then we met in the library to discuss a few things. It turned out surprisingly well. Everything seems pretty good now.

Except that I have to do a lot of work. But yeah.

mathematics

Don’t you just love my title?

Mathematics

Calculus

Arithmetic

Algebra

Geometry

Integrals

Derivatives

Functions

Theorems

Okay, I’ll stop, someone will just exit the page soon

Haha

Well today was an okayish day… I realized I was super tired during English class when I couldn’t concentrate after my presentation.

Religion – I spent the whole period trying to study for biology and genetics… but I ended up getting distracted and wasted lots of time

Biology – did a presentation, which was basically just reading off the paper, so it was a bad presentation, but yeah… we were supposed to have a quiz, but that never happened, so its tomorrow, which means I should be studying now

English – I did a presentation – I put a lot of hard work into it… seriously. I don’t think I’ve ever spent so much time and effort into an English assignment before. However, my presentation wasn’t so good because I didn’t have time to practice and thus I didn’t know my stuff, so I stuttered a lot and what not.. but my other group members were really good

Calculus – we had a supply teacher – I did a bit of work… more than I would usually do.. which is good

· Thank goodness for Andrew, he helped me so much! Oh and matt too, can’t really forget him..

Signed up for an online competition thingy for math with mcmaster

You can do it with a partner, which is the good thing, however, my partner now is too smart, like seriously smart

And I didn’t realize this before.. actually the contest didn’t matter to me much, it was more so for the experience and for the heck of it… so I just went okay with whomever I partnered up with, but as I thought of it more, I started to think and realize that maybe the person might not like it because I dragged them down… maybe I should have talked to them first

Anywho

I guess ill find out eventually

I have to make some Christmas presents

Im starting to worry that I wont finish them on time

Uh oh

That’s not good

Back to math…

Actually

I am making a tree now!

=D

and not doing work

not good

it's christmas time!

This is my favorite time of the year!

It’s so great!

It’s Christmas time

It’s a time where families get together

Where gifts are given

Happiness is shared

Joy is spread

And love is in the air!

It’s the first snow fall

The Christmas tree is up

The elves are busy

The gifts are wrapped

The malls are packed

The lights are blinking

And children are smiling

Red

Green

Gold

Blue

The wreath

Mistletoe

The decorations

Celebrations

It’s a wonderful feeling!

It’s a warming feeling…

Love is everywhere

Smiles are in the air

And gifts are given

Merry Christmas! Woo!

Super duper post!

Super duper quick post

Super busy week

Lots of work

Ecology is bad – but its also not too hard

Math is calculus

And English is lots of work

Stress!

Coffee!


 

So yeah

Good luck to all who's doing ecology, cause they need It just as much as I do

One other really super duper important thing

A very inspirational and big hearted guy once told me this:

… don't ever let any obstacles or roadblocks get in the way of that [being a great leader and inspiration] ....you just work hard, be passionate and keep giving it your all, and there is NO LIMIT to what you can do.

Keepitup!

Today I spent pretty much the whole day doing ecology notes for biology… but unfortunately I haven't even gotten close to finishing what has to be done by Wednesday. Not only that, I am still wondering and worrying about whether or not there will be a quiz on genetics tomorrow which I have not yet studied for.

But the day was okay. Nothing really good, nor really bad. It was more so working… though I got to go out for lunch and to costco… which wasn't bad.

Dinner was good – lobster and shrimp penne! =D yum!

I finished swim the fly yesterday… meaning I'm 30% into my white pine books! Yay! … I tell my mom and she's like.. that's it!?

Okay

I think im finished now.

Oh wait

I just realized

That work never seems to end

This weekend was jam packed with work and I thought it would be better after Wednesday until I realize I have a project for English due Friday that I have not touched and tests and work due next week which will take up my whole weekend next week.

So yeah

That's not good

But I guess

Just keep your hopes up

Enjoy life

Relax

And work hard.

Just lots of stuff

I don't know why

But I just felt the need to blog

I tend to blog … at the times I need time most

When I am too overly stressed and confused.

I don't know what to do.

I regret

I have lots to do


 

So yeah

Its been a long time

Since I blogged

And that's because

I have been so busy

Need I say more?


 

TEDx is tomorrow

I decided not to go to that

I really wanted to go

But I also decided I needed to sacrifice

Some things

Because of my marks

But I was just looking at the website

They changed it

And I regret

But I cant go now

Ill regret that too

This is so bad


 

You see

Yesterday was parent teacher interviews

I had a stand and a sas booth there

It was really hectic at like 530, because we had nothing set up

But luckily

After my freakout session

We set up

But then

No parents came

So I had to manually go up to people

And give it to them

So I hope something worked


 

During the interviews

We had really long discussions

Sullivan recommended that I skip some meetings

Alamparambil said I should finish my homework

And I need time to do that

So I must cut down on extra curriculars

I might be doing too much

Everyone tells me that

So I was determined at the end of the night

To cut something

But I looked at my list

And I couldn't do it

I just couldn't


 

Today

I decided to not go to TEDx


 

I have my ecology ISU notes that are due on Wednesday. They are not due due. But he will give us bonus marks if we do it. And according to him, they are just easy marks, and they can easily raise our marks for our test from 80s to 90s. not only that, they will also give us confidence as we walk into the test.

Sullivan has a point

And I agree

So I have to finish those notes


 

We also have a genetics quiz

On Monday

Now the problem is

Im not one hundred percent sure that we have the quiz on Monday

I just think we do

But I don't know

Cause he wasn't here today

And he didn't specify

So do I study or no


 

There is also math

I don't get too much stuff

And its not just like

If I look at it longer

Try it more

Then I will get it

I just don't know how to do some of it

And I need lots of practice

Which will require more time

And energy

And coffee

But I will have to do it


 

Then I have English

Which I am not worrying about

This weekend

It is due Friday

We will work on it

As a group

After Wednesday

But I still have to worry


 

Then there is extracurricular stuff

That I am not doing

But its still on my list


 

My shoulders are tense

Today for some reason

I could crack my neck more often

That showed me

That I was more stressed

Although I didn't really feel like it


 

I am tired

I finished my math homework last night

Even after going to interviews

And leaving late

Because during the interview

Teacher recommended

Or said at least

That she thinks I will do better if I finish all my homework

So I did

Last night

At like one


 

And today

During meeting after school with

Vp

I felt really tired

I tuned out for 5 secs too

That was bad


 

So I got home

Did stuff

Ate dinner

Slept for two hours

And I woke up an hour ago…

At 8.


 

Okay

That is it


 

Hopefully I will finish

Everything

This weekend.

Too much work

Oh my Gosh… this is really bad

It's the uphill part of the schedule

We all have so much stuff to do.

We need a method of approaching this

Sit down

And think

And then work

I hope everything goes well for everyone.

academic

I am worried more than ever about my marks.

I am really not doing good.

I need to do better.

But the thing is

I don't know how

I've been trying my best

And it doesn't seem to work.

Help.

goodday

Let's see

Its great how I am more or less starting to get back into the habit of blogging daily

Actually, I just do it because I get bored and decide to record my boredom. =P

So today was a pretty cool day. Classes weren't as bad as I expected them to be and everything turned out pretty good. White pine started again and I signed out a book. That is bad because it means that I will end up reading that instead of my novel for English which I have to read.

When I got home I got excited because I got various emails from volunteer places so I went on volunteer opportunity hunting. I am too busy for more, but I am gathering them for a new common places to volunteer sheet for SAS.

Afterschool there was a STAND meeting which wasn't good in my opinion, but that's how all the meetings were. I think we got more accomplished this meeting than any other meeting so far. I got the budget, we didn't get much money… but that's okay.

For biology today, Mr. Sullivan wasn't here because he was sick. I hope he's okay. It was also a great biology class because we had time to make notes, and surprisingly it was the first and only time that I finished all of the notes for the assigned section!

Yay!

apdayanddinnerwithdad

Oh jeez

Ive been meaning to do homework since I got home today

But I still haven't started and its 8pm… that's not good

I went out with my dad today

It was pretty cool

Better than usual

And I don't know why

Went to markville

Then do dinner

We just walked around for a bit

It wasn't anything big

But it felt different

And special

And memorable

For some reason

I liked it

We should do that more often

I guess it could be because of my mood

I wasn't in a rush

I actually told my dad to slow down

Well just cause I had a coffee and I didn't want to walk fast and spill it haha

The coffee was sweet by the way

I think the guy put too much sugar in it…

Anywho

I should start doing work soon

Ap day today at school

It was pretty cool

I took lots of pictures

It felt like a mix of Muskoka Woods and Science North

It was great

Okay, that's it

I'm reading English.

I have to do bio

I don't think I'll have time to do that…

This is all very bad.

It's really funny. Actually its not funny.

So usually I freak out a little too much about marks. But that's all in the inside. Most the time. Usually I just kind of try to make it seem like it's not that big of a deal. But it is.

This is the last year. These marks count. However this is the year I am doing extra bad. Although I am enjoying school more than any other year. But its still bad.

I don't like this.

I also complain too much. I just talk too much. I do too many things excessively. It's bad. I have to stop.

Monday, November 1, 2010

Work stress, more work and more stress.

Okay

For some reason today was extra stressful

Like it was really bad

Everything was just very tense

This morning went off with a bad start cause the sky was literally pitch black when I woke up and I didn't want to get up. But I had to. I went to St. Joes. Which was pretty cool, it felt weird to be back there during normal school starting time, but it was still nice. Then there was the feeder school visit – that's why I was there. It was okay. I just basically improved everything. And the funny thing was that while I was listing all the seven councils, I forgot OSAID… then Mrs. Oliphant reminds me, and also I could only name like 10 of all the clubs. Which was really bad. Either way, Mr. Maloney was like wow, I can't believe you named all those, I couldn't even do it. So I'm like, okay sure.

When I got back to school, Sullivan took the class on a 'field trip' to the hallway and I met them there… I was kinda lost, and I didn't pay much attention. Or well, I did, but I just didn't catch on to what he was saying. The rest of bio was okay.

Then it was lunch. I wrote my name down for the self nomination thingy for Queens.

English was brutal. I was really tired for some reason and I just couldn't concentrate. Everything was blurry and I had a massive headache. So I just tried to pay attention, then I studied for math.

Math test was really bad. Some things I was confident in but the vast majority I was confused. It was so weird. I ended up guessing things and making things up. It was bad. I need to study more. Well I do my homework, but like her questions are just so out of the world. I mean, she teaches stuff on earth, and we do the homework on earth but her test and the questions are all the way in Saturn. How are we supposed to make the connection however many billion light years away?

I got accepted for the youth forum. I'm kinda excited. Well actually I just want to know how it is. Or like what we do. Let's hope we get to meet some cool new people.

After school we had Luke 4:18. I got upset at my brother. He is like mocking me and like disrespecting me all the time. He does things infront of his friends to show them that he can do that to his brother, and he can get away with it. I had a talk with him about it at home. A LONG talk. I hope everything gets better.

Luke was okay. Most of the people for the Fair Trade Fair group wasn't there so we couldn't get much done. I guess I have to start working on that stuff during the week too.

At the end, Sharyn asked me about giving the proposal to the Vp and I said I got the secretary to hand it in. Then she says that we didn't let her look over it before she handed it in. well first off, it was emailed to her, she dismissed it. Second of all, she specifically said to hand in the proposal. Then before I could explain, she walked away. And I was yelling across the classroom as she left. Then ben asks me if everything is alright. It was surprising that he did. But it was nice. =D

When I got home. I dedicated today to biology. I ended up doing minimal notes because I couldn't concentrate. But at least I didn't use my computer till now. Then I have to do English, but I haven't done it yet.

Theres so much to do with all these things coming up. Oh my goshness.

Take things one step at a time, do what you can. And that's enough.

Good luck to all

Good bye'
