Tim Hortons - English =

Me not doing my homework and eating doughnut instead. ^^ Wheee...its so much better than doing homeowrk, but I can just taste the fat-ness. x3 Ewww....

Even though I rarely eat doughnut, its a nice change, and its espically good since then I don't have to do my English. ^^ Which means I'll never get it done in time. ><

Fine...back to work, back to work.

After I'm finished eating it first! ^^ xP

Smart-ness =)

For once in math class, I felt somewhat smarter, and I think its haev something to do with sitting in front of the teacher. xP Haha. Even my teacher commented on that, but I think its something about the environment too.

You see, my math class in a church. I don't go there, only for math. We had no desks in our classroom, so then we ended up going in the actual church inside itself. It was sort of odd because there was no desks, the chairs were very comfy and we were on the top floor of the church too. One major thing taht made the biggest difference is that it was quiet. We have to share classroom with grade 4s I believe and its quite loud. ^^;

Oh well, now I just need to hope that I do well in my math exam test to pass.

Time for a much needed update

Cross-posted from livejournal

Well, I guess its sort of weird since I there's like little posts in between everything like my exams and such, but then I think I have a lot to say and some things to rant out. ^^;

This year has been one of my favourite years, but my marks suffered terribly. I dropped a lot and I felt like I worked a lot this semester to try to even out my mark, but I didn't make it to the honour roll. I think one thing that dropped my mark was my Science courses, I just couldn't handle it and I have my mark to show for it. I couldn't memorize things easily like some people for Biology. Chemistry, I bombed the exam because of my careless mistakes. Physics...'nuff said. xP Then there's Accounting, I should've done things differently in my studying habits, and not underestimating my teacher. Honestly, there was a lot of things that I should've got. Thank goodness I was able to pull it up slightly. For the other courses, like English, Fashions, Photography and Functions, I felt that it was fine. I could easily handle it, everythign I worked hard in more or less and I end up getting the mark that I should end up with. I know that for English I could have gotten a much higher mark if I had a different group to work with. All of my group were slackers and I end up pulling up so much extra work, that even then I wasn't able to get the mark that I felt I deserve. *sigh* But I liked my teacher, he's a fiar teacher, I can't complain about him. He's teaching next year and I can't wait to have him. ^^ Math, I don't know, my mark stayed more or less the same, I really don't know, I think it was the performance problems and such that dropeed my mark. I found it fairly easy for the most part and I liked it. ^^ Math always came pretty easy to me, but I'm scared for next year becuase its supposbly harder, not only, but then the pace is a lot different, I always been able to get the time I needed to absorb everything, but then now its different. For the most part, this semester, I've been slightly better and worse in getting my work done. I think I'm still trying to perfect it, but then its still taking time. I'm really determine to work really hard on it adn I need to get the marks.

I think with the fact that I'm taking summer school and my courses are easier for the most part. Not only, but then I have courses where I can guarnteed my success, I don't know why, but I feel that. Like Math I'm not that bad, as long as I stay consistent, I end up bombing two tests usually, which obvisouly I cna't afford to do now. My English is getting slightly better. ^^; My grammar (application mark) have been about 70 all semester, which may not seem a lot, but then if you compare it to last year, its been hovering around the 60s, so for me, its been an improvement. I'm working on it since I do have to write some business stuff. ~-^ Beisdes, from that I think I have some sort of idea of what I may want to be, it woudl be business related, probably marketing, but then the more that I think about it, I like the idea of owning my own business. I'll see, it seems fitting.

I'm going to miss some of my teachers, espically my Chemsitry and Photography. My Chemistry teacher is retiring, but he promises that he would porbably come back occassionaly to subsitute or if one of the teachers were pregnant, then he'll come back. =D I had a picture with them earlier last week. It was kind of embarrassing because we went in when they had an exam review. We interrupted them and when we asked if we could have my Chemistry picture, they were all like "Aw...". *blush* My Photography teacher wished me well in my art courses next year and she said she was really proud of me since I improved so much this year with my darkroom techniques.

There was quite a bit of little events that happened throughout this semeter. For English, we end up going to watch Shrek II and it was good! <3 it! It was hilarous, just as good as the first. I end up laughing for prety much the entire movie and I loved the end! I espically loved Puss-in-boots!! Well, everyone does, but he's teh best! ~-^ My Photography teacher and I were both talking about and we were both so excited and happy from watching it. I think everyone should go watch it, its really good (depsite what my cousin says xP).

I end up missing a lot of FM meetings lately. ><* First, I've been sick and then when it was Victoria Day holiday, I end up doing my English. *sigh*

I guess in some ways its good that I didn't go, becuase I need the money to re-decorate my room. ^^; I know it sounds weird, but believe it not, my room deperately needs something new and I want to re-decorate it so it looks nicer and filled up. That's some of my things to do on my To-do list. I saw these shadowboxes where it contains about four pictures, and since its s shadowbox, I could decorae inside too with little mimature furiniture which isn't really expensive from Michaels. I was thinking of putting it on this side of my room across from my bed. It'll be really cool and I woudl like to hang some of my artwork somewhere, but then I would like to frame it, but its rather pricy. x-x My posters are probably going to go on the side where my bed it, so then my room is going to fairly decorated. It still needed to be cleaned before summer school. ><*

Heh...I spend the dyas after exmas going shopping with my sister. We went to Koreantown, Metro Square and Pacific Mall (A LOT). It was okay, too bad we didn't see Loser #3 when we went down, but that's okay. I mostly bought some wrapping supplies and I still need to get more. Wrapping papers, ribbons and tissue paper. I'm running out, but then I like wrapping. ^^; xP

The day before, we got our marks and the yearbook. It was okay, for the most part, I mean teh yearbook. I'm going to part of the yearbook, so I'm hoping to make it "better". xP I got most people to sign it, but then there's still some people like uncle and VC1. I got sakura to sign it, and I got a good feeling its going to be a essay. xP

I wish the school gave the yearbook out eariler, but then the admin wants everyone to come to school on a day where its really useless. Its suppose to help us, but realistically, who would really come (aside from myself since I like to see my exams x3). Whatever.

I tried out for Anncouncement team, and I think I did horrible I doubt I made it. Tis alright though, I didn't expect to really make it, I kept stumbling through out the whole thing. It was rather nerve-wrecking because there was so much people around you goign for the same thing.

Yesterday was my brother's grauation, and they had at the Shangri-la. I feel so jealous, they had such a nice place and eveyrthign else was nicer about it. >=( *growls at brother and my school* But it was nice, I saw a lot of people from Milliken there, as well as Yolei. I had fun talking to her throughout the thing. ^^ But at the beginging, our digtal camera died on us. =S And thwy were giving out awards already and we were getting scared becuase we had a feeling that he might get an award and he did. Luckily my dad came right on time, so we sued our other camera to take his picture recieving the award. He looked so cool in the pictures we took. I think the pictures with my brother and "his boys" were really funny because some of his friends are...kinda of short and he's tall. Heh.

It feels good to write an entry, its been too long. Maybe I'll get a chance to fix up my journal before summer shcool. *crosses funger*

Pride

"Pride...is a very common failing I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very commom indeed, that human nature is particulary prone to it, an that there are few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or others, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonimously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us." (Jane Austen, 16).

This is from the book I'm reading Pride and Prejudice and its interesting, but sort of confusing at times since I'm slowing getting to know the characters. Its a little hard for me, but I'm liking it. this quote, I found to be so interesting and timeless itself. Pride I usually assocaite with Macbeth since he had so much pride that led to his downfall. I think this should be fiarly important and it set the tone when they were talking about Mr. Darcy. Since the book is Pride and Prejudice, its half a whole. ~-^ xP

Heh, feeling like a little geeky, I'm getting addicted to reading everyday after the exams. ^^ xP And I'm starting to love this face I do-->~-^ and xP

New E-mail

I'm just joining the bandwagon and I got another new e-mail at google. ^^ I don't know why, but I guess I could use this for all my other e-mails. Heh...I sort of like it too, I used the name kare.lun becuase when my relatives come over, its how it sounds like when they say my name. I think its cute. x3

My hotmail account is getting rather junked up. ><* Maybe I should get another account in hotmail. But now that I think about it, I don't particulary love hotmail services, but then they have so much people.
