Hola

Yes it is me! I am back from my trip to Mexico (or Mehico as i like to call it). It seems Alona has been the only one posting blogs for some time. I decided i should post one too to break the awkwardness. My trip was great. I might write about it later, or i might not. It depends on how i feel. I am just too lazy to write day by day what happened. And i will probably leave something out and then remember that i left it out and then think"ugh fak" for it.
Anyhow, exams began today. I finished my french exam today. What can i say? The beginning was easy (multiple choice, grammar and reading stories and answering questions). That whole part took me about 45 minutes. The last 45 minutes were spent writing two paragraphs. I'll tell you about those.
The first paragraph i had to write was a summary on this short story we read in the middle of the year. I totally blanked out and couldn't remember the names of the characters. I'm thinking "Luc? Jean? Wait no, they aren't french guys, they're Canadian... Bob? Ugh forget it"
So i skipped to the next question thinking to return to the other one later. That paragraph was just to write as if i'm in Paris and i'm writing a post card to my folks. That was easy.
So then i return to the other question and i'm killing myself to try to remember what the guy's names were and then someone in the class asks my teacher and he says it's Bill and David. So that was a relief. But for every paragraph we write we have to include:
2 verbs with Etre
2 verbs with avoir
1 thing with le, la, les, leur, lui, y, or en
1 superlatif or comperatif.

I was in Mehico when the class was learning about superlatif + comperatif, so i had to search that grammar lesson on the computer. Eugh. Anyhow, back to the paragraph.
So then i'm writing and my teacher goes "15 MINUTES!"
I start to panic and i just write (in french obviously) "They went here, They went there, Then they did this, and then they did that." it wasn't worthy of a prize, but i finished with 5 minutes to spare. I also forgot how to say 'box' in french and 'plan' (which i remember is motif now.. or is it? Never mind)..(Motif is motive. Then what's plan?I just had it. Great.)
But now i only have 3 exams to o. Geo exam included.
Which is tomorrow.
Which i studies 3 hours for today.
Ew.
I hope i remember everything tomorrow morning.
Anyways. I must go sleep now. I need my rest.

Good Night.

Wish me luck :D

Short story :)

I was bored in the car one day and I wrote this short story; I like it too much to throw away but I don't want the extra paper around so I'm going to write it here
:)
Here goes:
:)

Warm breezes carress my boiling skin. The sun transposes sunlight into the brightness on my gentle eyes. I am awake, lying in my snowy white bed. The forstiness of my room does not cool my heat. I am still boiling of rage and distance. I wonder if I'll ever return to normal or this present state will become permanent. What previously happened has no value in my present motion. I am enraged, engaged, and amazed at how I am. Why does god let people feel this way? Does one grow through only painful wonder? If so, why do people still yearn for growth? Is all of humanites improvements made from suffering? Questions I can't answer in my lifetime. Perhaps if I wasn't so mad, I might take a moment to ponder it all.
Perhaps I'm not that mad.




Love,
allie

In Business; Eh, Melancholy.

Hola,
Things are a bit less hectic now. I have some free time and I have decided to write a blog. Things are going well and something I realized last night is that I've stopped crying as much as I used to. Every sunday i used to complain and cry about what was happening. I've stopped and I haven't done that in more than a month. I'm really happy that finally I am used to my school and that its almost summer. Even though I only have a few days left, I am really enjoying this experience. This summer is going to be amazing. I have so many adventures planned. First, my cousin is coming to stay with me for 2 weeks. I am also going to be attending virtual summer school (basically online schooling from home). I will also be studying music theory and also praciticing for my Vocal Exam in August. In a weekend in July, I will also be taking a road trip to Ottawa. It will also be my birthday in july. I love being a summer baby. In august, maybe me and Julia will go live in Ottawa and attend a french camp. WE will also embark on our first big trip (roadtrips not counting) on a cruise. I am so excited for that. It will be amazing. In August, I will do my vocal exam which I am so excited for but also very anxious. It will be my amazing proof from my voice which makes me super proud. Something I am not so proud of is that I didn't get into my school's talent show. I wasn't going to care about it but it did dissapoint me. I put on a strong face but I am feeling kind of sad about it because everyone told me I was really good and then it sort of built me up and then they let me down. Eh, whatever. They missed their chance to hear me sing. Soon they'll have to pay to hear me sing. MWAHAHAHAHA.
I don't know why but I don't like telling people I want to be a singer. I guess since every person I tell, they say that it won't happen; I don't want to be told that anymore.
I am eating a cookie.
A ginormous cookie.
Today I have to eat a lot of sugar and a big meal to test out my sugar levels and insulin level in my blood. So after school, I have to go get a blood test. Eugh. I really didn't want to eat so unhealthy today. I ate a burger and french fries, drank a coke and now I am eating a huge cookie. I also bought an extra one to eat on the way to the blood test. Each one of these cookies is probably like 600 calories. They are the size of my head. Anyways, tommorrow my business class is having a party. (Not showing up). I am almost done my ginormous cookie but I am so full and feeling gross and fat that I can't even look at the other one.
UGhhhh
Whatever.
It's only one day. It's not like i have to eat this everyday. i'm probably going to gain 5 lbs just from today, which sucks arse. Alright; I need to stop complaining. I am doing this for my health. I have to get this blood test and make sure everything is alright with me. Okay. I am done. Je suis fini complaining.
Phew.
Alright,
I'm gonna go buy a drink now because that cookie was super sweet.
Love,
allie

Brillz Week, Too Hectic To Write.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I've honestly been super busy. I haven't even had time to clean my room (not that I really mind). I wrote my science test and auditioned for my school talent show. I've yet to know if I've been accepted. I have exams approaching hurridley fast and I have a ton more things to do before that. Tommorrow I am presenting my Macbeth Monologue which I have been practicing the last few hours. I also am performing the dance with julia this wendesday. I cant believe its June 1st already! Sorry btw about the lack of proper grammer in the blog, I can't be arsed to spell check and I am typing really fast. Today I worked for my second time at the church. It was mighty fun (....). Well I've got to go now to try to clean my room and practice my monologue some more. Hopefully I'll provide you soon with a bit more detail into my life later, but now, I simply haven't got time!
Love,
allie

Bonjour Tout Le Monde

My Dearest Readers,
Shamefully i have not written a blog for the most absurd amount of time.This might have been out of no time to spare, or out of plain laziness. But i am now here, and this is a blog, which should mean something.
Thursday, May 29, my geography Class and i went on our geography trip to harbour front. I learned a lot, i could say. Sadly, i was probably the only one person listening to the guide talking. Me and this other girl Julia. What a coincidence.
Speaking of geography, i am leaving to Mexico June 6. What fun! I am really looking forward to that trip, but what i am, sadly, not looking fore ward to is finishing all my projects for school before i leave. Which gives me, oh, 4 days. Great fun. 4 Days to do my french an geography final projects, and about 1 and a half days to do my science. My science teacher is very nice, don't get me wrong, but she should be a bit more attentive to to other people's time and comfort level i suppose. Well, with every good comes a bad, and with every bad comes a good.
On a lighter note, today Alona and i had our rehearsal for our Latin dance. Everyone who was to perform in the concert this Wednesday was to come. We all danced our little dances and were off. I did pretty well, i must say. I put my nerves aside and just danced. Although i did get the beat wrong at one point because of my anxiety, but other than that, it went fine, bien sûr. I love performing and dancing. The whole adrenaline rush you get, and we have to smile the whole time, so that calms me down. How? i Don't know.
After the rehearsal, Alona and I trotted off happily to the mall (20 minutes away by foot). It was really lovely outside so neither of us minded. We were staring down at everyone in cars though. I am actually glad gas prices went up, at least now people will be getting off their arses and walking or biking places. Sorry, but it's true. And also, the environment will be less polluted. Once at the mall, we went to Suzy Shier and i bought some very nice sunglasses at a bargain of just $5.00 and also a book at the same price. I feel proud because I'm such a deal seeker. Or maybe the deals are just there when i go shopping? Anyhow, i buy cheap items, and so, i am proud.
I feel the need to paint again. Once finished with the shopping, Alona and I came chez moi and we painted a little with my brother and then played monopoly. I think Alona was enjoying the game a whole lot more than my brother and i were. My brother just wanted to get a card every time he bought a house. In the end, the unenthusiastic one (me) won. As you might expect from the great Hoolio.
I really do want to learn so many things before i grow old and invalid. Here i will make a list:
1) Painting ad Drawing
2)Horseback Riding
3)French
4)Tennis
5)Ballet
Oh but when? I don't even have a lot of time to go on the computer, never mind learn all that. Oh but i will find a way. I will MAKE way. I am starting Tennis lessons soon and my mom is looking for art lessons for me. Sadly i don't think i can find any horses around Toronto. Ballet? I might squeeze that in somewhere.
Oh but i do feel selfish wanting all this. I think it just wastes my parent's money. I wish i could have a job which pays me every month (a good salary) and i will just pay for these lessons myself.
Ah well, i am tired and so i will go sleep now.

Au Revoir,

-Julia

P.S.
Wish me luck on my recital! :)
