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.

Blogging while TVBing!

So yeah, this is the first blog post I've ever written while I am watching tv. But hey, it's the summer time so yeah, I can do what I wish =D

This show is getting creppy, I hate scary horror films. Anyways, let's talk about today. So I unfortunately had to wake up early and went to saint joe's to help out. It was really fun and funny. So what happened was, when I first got there they were working on addition and it was fun teaching them how to do it. They kept on asking to borrow fingers haha! This one kid was really hyper today and it was really funny working with him because he was just super happy and he kept on talking about movies. Soon he talked about toy story three and he said it was really good and then he started pretending to be woody and stuff. It was funny.

So yeah, what's kinda bad about summer so far is that I am missing a lot of outings and stuff with friends. I know I know. It's summer and im supposed to be free and hanging out with friends and stuff. But I guess, since it's the first week, everyone's excited and wants to go with friends, but this week is also my busy week, with volunteering with school and family time. I guess family is sometimes more important to me. Iunno, but still, I feel bad saying that I can't go when people invite me. Cause its really nice of them to remember me and invite me, but then I can't come. Hopefully I'll be able to go more in the weeks to come!

SO after I left saint joes, I went to ba because I was supposed to volunteer with graduation mass set-up. But when I got there, everything seemed like it was finished. So I asked a teacher and she said that I was to help out tomorrow. Soon I realized that there was some mix-up/ mmiscommunication and I pretty much went there for no reason. So yeah. But at least I got my bio textbook for the summer! Lol

Yesterday was also another really fun day with my dad and my brother. I pulled him out of the house! Lol, we went to yorkdale first, then because it was too early for dinner, we went to Fairview cause Hollister had a sale =D and then we went to eat dinner and then wal-mart for groceries. It seemed like just shopping, but really, when I go to the mall with both my dad and my brother, we barely walk in much stores. The stores we walk into are the stores that I say, hey let's check this out and I walk in and they follow. So yeah. But afterall it was good. I enjoyed it cause we had lots of nice conversations.

Shopping, Normal Routines and Volunteer!

So, it's summer right. Finally. But yeah, I didn't do much in the past few days. On Saturday I went to sherway gardens which was really awesome. Not because of the great sales and deals that I got, but because I went with my brother and my mom. I enjoyed it. It was a bit rush though, cause we had to rush back home for three o'clock to get my brothers math school report card. Then we dropped my brother home to play his games while my mom and I went to pacific mall for a spin. There was a lot of people there, because of the taste of asia festival. And guess what/ I saw Andrew and monica and Andrew, and russel and marco and parco there. I also saw freddy and Vivian. That was unexpected but it was cool. Too bad I couldn't stay with them. Anyways, we left and then we went to chapters. That was an experience. I was there for an hour and I bought four books. Then when I got home, I finished reading one of them. =D I read the short second life of bree tanner, however he life was only 5 hours short. xD

Today. Well today was just normal. I went to drop off my brother at fmp to watch toy story 3 with his friends, then I went to Costco with my mom. There was nothing unusual about that cause I go everyweekend anyways. Then I went back to chapters… didn't want to get any more books cause I didn't want to waste any more money, though I think I would have been able to get four more books. Buy three get one free! And tonight we went out to the Keg for dinner, which was yummy!

Lol so yeah, that's my summer so far. Tomorrow I will be volunteering for the first half of the day then going out with my dad for the second half. I'm excited for it!

When you have all the time in the world, but you just don’t know what to do with it

So, really right now, I don't have an excuse to NOT blog.

I'm tired. And I haven't blogged in quite a while. I guess, I stopped when I realized that all that was on my mind and everything that I would end up blogging about is exams. It get's boring, real fast.

Anyways, my exams were kinda good. I guess. Religion exam, my first one, was not as easy as I expected. I mean there were lots of easy parts, however I was not completely confident when I finished. I didn't know the answer to every question. So that to me for religion at least, is bad. Then I had English, which I was pretty confident about. I prepared for it, and the exam was exactly what I had prepared. So I was ready. However the only problem with that exam is that I did the minimal five paragraphs. But I still think its fine. Cause really, that's all the time I had to do. I had an hour and a half. I finished all five just on time. So that to me is pretty good. I mean considering that its English and that every year for English exams I have to rush and I don't do too well on those. Third I had math, which I was really worried about for some reason. I knew I would do good, however, I guess it is because of the fact that it was math and I know that I would do well on it or at least I had to make sure that I would do well on it that I studied a lot and stuff for it. By the time it actually got to the exam the funny thing is that lots of the questions that I practiced the night before was identical to the ones on the exam. And because I was asking people those questions and stuff I remembered the answers =D. Last exam was today's chem exam. I guess maybe I was already in my summer mode which is really bad, so I wasn't really motivated to study for it. But in the end I did end up studying, a LOT, but not enough. So yeah, I went to school early today and I studied along for an hour then with melisha for an hour. And those two hours of studying helped me memorize most of the stuff I thought I needed to know. But then by the time it got to the exam, the multiple choice, as usual, killed me. I was so lost there. I had a habit of putting an arrow or a line beside questions I wasn't too sure of for the multiple choice and at the end I counted that I had like 22 arrows. That means if I got all those arrowed ones wrong I would have gotten 22/40, which is real bad. But then the short answer was also bad, and the problem solving was easier than I expected and I was confident with them. However, the final essay/ lab question was also a killer. I had no clue what I was writing. I think I just ended up writing the first things that came to mind.

I took the school bus home today. That was something new. I haven't taken the school bus home all my life, so this was a first time. I just thought I had to document that. Haha

So yeah, today is the first day of summer. But I didn't really have anything to do when I got home. Well, I should say I didn't really feel like doing anything when I got home. I have to clean my binders up, which I just did. And I also have a few other things that I put aside to do for the summer but I guess, I just don't feel like it today. Anyways, so when I got home, I ate something and then I went out for a bike ride. It was fun as usual. Except today I did something different. I brought out a book and I went to the park and I just read in the shade under the trees. I nearly fell asleep too… that was nice.

This summer I have a lot of things that I want to do. But I know I wont have time to finish all those things. I just hope I get around to at least some of them. Two of the main things are to study bio and calc. I want to make sure im good with those next year. Well, I guess another reason is just because I like them the most. I want to do it, it's fun =D – and yes, im crazy

What else is cool? Well I'm going to sherway gardens tomorrow with my mom AND my brother which will be awesome I hope. My brother never comes shopping so yeah, that'll be an experience. Also, next week I am volunteering/helping out with grad for two days in a row. I am surprisingly half excited for that and half dreading it. Cause I signed up so I have to go. But I want to go. Like I guess, it's summer and it's the beginning, so I'm excited and I want to just do whatever I want whenever I want. But I don't really want to go to grad help. But then on the other hand I really want to help out and I really want to see what it's like. Also I think it will be really cool to see all the grade 12's graduating together. So yeah.

Anyways, that's it for now.

Unfair

We can't always satisfy our desires;

The road isn't always clear

Small talk can spark up a fire

And that's just not fair.


 

It's not how I want it to be

It's not as good as it was in my head

Can't you see

I'm hiding in my shed

And it's just not fair!


 

I want to do this

But I can't take on the dare

And that's how life is,

It's unfair

Good Progress

Yay! I think exams are finally coming together. I have been mass studying since yesterday… I'm so glad I did. I didn't expect to have accomplished this much… nor did I expect to have spent so much time yesterday and today… although I took a few movie breaks here and there… but still its all good!

I made math notes – lol I think I'm about the only one who does that… I make notes for everything hehe. Initially when I first started studying for math in class I was freaking out or at least really worried because I realized that I forgot majority of the little details that the teacher requires us to put down. So that meant that I had a lot of reviewing to do. But now, after looking through the stuff and making notes and all, everything seems finer.

English… I really haven't done much for English yet and I don't think I will till maybe Monday. Its really bad… but I think it's the least of my worries since its an essay… but its also gonna be hard so I'm still worried but I can't do much about it

Relgiion well religion, I finally finished my notes and I will start memorizing everything tomoro and I have the beginning of Monday to refine my memory… so I think I should be good for that

Chem…. Well that's what I've got to work on next… it's the largest and longest study course for me. I thought I made all my notes until I realized that I forgot something… a whole section! Jeez! Anywho… I can`t even fit everything in one one inch binder which I do for my other courses…. This is scary

Yeah, so for the rest of the few days, my blog posts will all be about my exams and my progress … just cause I need a break every once in a while. And what better thing is there to do than to blog about my progress?
