Hey dudsons,
Tomorrow we're getting our report cards! I'm kind of nervous, even though I already know what I will get for the most part.
Anyways on a happier topic....it's almost April! I don't know why I'm so excited, but I do know that there are only 2 months until school ends. I hope that these long days will pass by quickly.....so I can sleep in, play video games, etc..
So today started off with volleyball. I hated it, especially since I suck. like a lot. I feel that even basketball is 100 times better than this sport. ( plus your arms get super red after playing volleyball) I feel so embarrassed when playing a game with other people because I can't even do a simple bump properly or a serve. I feel like I'm letting the whole team down. I need to practice more on my skills, so I won't let myself and others down!
After that was science. We were working in a lab, but Amie and I had extreme difficulty using the microscope. It was only the last ten to five minutes when we finally got everything right.
Social studies was next and we continued our lesson on China. It's so funny because my teacher can't pronounce the Chinese names correctly and since our class is composed of 80% Chinese people, students kept on correcting him. I didn't though, since Cantonese was easier for me not Mandarin, which the words were supposed to be said in.
Last was French. More writing today. We learned some new things and did oral practice. That's pretty much it.

THESE ARE ALL PHOTOS OF THE MUSEUM....that I took last year :)
Hey dudsons,
I have some more photos from my adventure in China! So in these pictures there are some of this street and it's a really cool pedestrian street and features old preserved buildings with modern day shops at the main street floor. The clothes are really nice there, but unfortunately I had no time to shop. There's a lot of old history on this street and it's really nice to look at the buildings and observe the beauty. There's also a incredibly cool museum which has different sections that talk about the history of the city as well as replicas of life back then complete with wax models. I don't if that made sense at all, lol. There are lots of restaurants and there was one that even my mom ate at when she was young. We went there to eat, and the food was really good; my mom even said that the food tasted exactly the same as back in the days.

Hey dudsons,
Long time no write! I've been on vacation and therefore was not able to write my blogs...but, anyways, here I am. I went to China, so no Facebook, no Google, no Youtube, none of that. I don't mind though, as long as there's Crossy Road (a game on my phone) keeping me accompany during times of boredom. My trip went fairly well. I went to Hong Kong first for one night before heading to the mainland. You know my mission that day was to find and hunt down this pretty famous Youtuber Bubzbeauty, but *sigh* I could not find her. I was going to kidnap her baby too and stuff him in my luggage..haha just kidding.
So Hong Kong. We usually eat something at the airport right away because my brother tends to get seasick and we find that giving food to him makes him feel better. I like Asian airports because there are so many restaurants to choose from and they all have yummy food. We went to a noodle place and I had fried pork chop cutlet with hand-pulled noodles. It was pretty good, but I guess the main reason was that I had not eaten proper edible food in 13 hours.
After that, we always go on an airport express train to a big bus station, where we get on a bus to our hotel. I slept bad that night, courtesy of jet lag. However, I didn't feel really tired. I like our hotel's location because there are lots of designer brand stores right on the street of the hotel and I like window shopping, heehee. In the morning, we went to this really good buffet, but unfortunately, ha, I ate some raw chicken because I was too oblivious to notice details on my food. Nothing really happened though, but I was worried the whole day + night.
We went on a ferry to the city where I was going. (I'm not exploiting my city, so you people shall not stalk me :)) We arrived and as soon as I went outside, I saw 6 baby kittens (probably stray) and they were so incredibly cute. Anyways, instead of staying at my aunt's place, we stayed at a hotel this time. It was a really nice hotel, but it was really cheap, I believe. RMB $200 a night, lol. My aunt's apartment is literally next door. Like this is a mall, restaurant, apartment and hotel complex. Pretty cool, just walking downstairs and me getting to eat good food and shopping! Plus there's a bakery, bank, spa, and a PIZZA HUT! We had good food that night, I think.....

Hey dudsons,
Haha, one more school week until spring break starts- I can't wait! Anyways, today started off with PE and it was so, so tiring. My teacher made us do a second skipping rope test for three minutes, two minutes, then one minute. And...we had to run two laps right before that. Ahh, it was so tiring.
After that, it was science, and we did a lab on viewing snake blood and an onion peel under a microscope. It was pretty cool, because it gives an entirely different perspective on things that seem just plain and uninteresting. I can see why scientists find these kind of things so interesting.
We learned about the Wicca and Scientology religions for socials today. I don't quite like Scientology because it was so weird and abstract. Not to offend or anything, but I still didn't under the underlying concept and why it is a religion. I know finding your own self is important, but I don't think it necessary can be a religion. Wicca was cooler, but kind of mysterious because there was mentioning of them being able to do spells, including loves spells, which is.....interesting.
French is always so hot in the classroom, but overall, today was a productive working day. We're going to see our marks next class, so that will be cool.

Hey dudsons,
Happy first day of March! I didn't really do much, except for having my group members come over to work on the religions project. We worked on the presentation and the brochure, because we're presenting on Wednesday.
