New music, sleepless nights, changing of results, chicken pox, bitches, body scans,.... all part of what the French would call 'ma vie'

At: my mum's office

Watching: World Sport on CNN

Eating: Fries

Drinking: Water

I don't even know where to start!! Ok, let's start with the most important thing: I'm over my History hostility (yay!!) The subjects still clash though (boo!!) but I'm in Geography class most of the time. (uber boring!!!) but I'm still good!!

Sleepless nights

The Inter-Hostel singing competition is FINALLY over!! No more late nights or 'sleeping' in class (I don't actually sleep in class, I kinda go off due to lack of sleep. One time, I ran on 4 hours of sleep! My roommates and I stayed up after singing practice to about 1:30 am talking about all the stuff we had done in school since Grade 7!)

Generally the performances were really good (as always!) but the competition between hostels was't as much as last year (due to the fact the the really competitive seniors in the different hostels have all graduated) but it was all good! After the performances, we gave the judges a bit of time to compile the results. Normally, during this time, the different hostels are suppose to re-perform their songs from last year but no one was up to it this year. So... we all went outside and took PEEKCHAASS!! (I don't have them right now. I'll get them from Dzifa later this week and put them up later)

15 minutes later, we were back inside, anxiously waiting for the results. MY HOSTEL WAS FIRST!!! ALL OUR HARD WORK PAID OFF!! We celebrated like crazy!

Changing of results

Monday, during lunch, we got the breakdown of the results-the compulsory and optional. But guess what? Apparently, there was a mistake in the results! My hostel then got bumped to 2nd position and the other girls' hostel was first! Either way, I was cool with it. I just hope I get a little more than 20 CAS hours...

Chicken pox

There's a chicken pox outbreak in school!!! AH! I'm not worried. I got chicken pox when I was a baby (and don't you dare say it's possible for me to get it again!! Cause it's not!) One of the 12th grades classes did a presentation on it a few weeks ago. Erika had a chicken pox scare after that. She said she was burning up and had rashes on her back. My roommates quarantined her from our room. She went to the nurse and it was just a normal rash. Keith told me yesterday that he had alleriges but I called it chicken pox. He has all these spots on one side of his face. In our current 'chicken pox epidemic' what else would I call spots on face. Pimples?

New music

I am sick and tired of the music I listen to- Pearl Jam, Lacuna Coil, Incubus, Fall of Troy etc. Not that I don't think they're uber awesome but I listen to them day after day, night after night, free period after free period. I needed a change. One of the new 9th graders I talk to, Rita, lent me her iPod on Sunday. She has all these cool bands and artistes on it- Cute Is What We Aim For, The Cab, The Hush Sound, Mickey Avalon, Brokencyde... it was UBER REFRESHING to my ears to hear different artistes. I'm on a mission to listen to every song she has. She has 250 songs and I'm on the 167th song (on shuffle) Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap. Of course, I don't listen to EVERY SINGLE SONG, I skip the ones I know/have like Panic at the Disco and Rihanna. And I made a list of my favorites so far. Quite a lot of Brokencyde...

Body scan

My dad came to pick me up today during my 2nd Tuesday free period. My body's acting really weird so I came home to have a doctor look and me. I had to take a blood test and I got 2 shots instead of one! The first shot didint bring out any blood. And my BP's quite low too...I 'm due for a scan tomorrow (I'm not pregnant just in case anyone was thinking...) and to see a specialist. Hopefully, nothing is seriously wrong with me...

Bitches

New people just keep coming to my grade! The latest edition is Sarah, a Nigerian who used to live in the UK. (or was the newest person Francine? *shrugs*) She's really petite and has a really small face and she's really cute. She was a day student earlier but became a border just last weekend. Everyone in my grade likes her (and all the new people so far!)

Sarah's table is really close to mine in the MPH (aka canteen) and for some bitchy reason, one of my tablemates, Michelle, don't like her. Michelle is a year below Sarah and I (I'm in grade 11) and is always gossiping about Sarah on the table. She talks to her friend who is on the table behind her and says bitchy stuf like ' Ah this girl who does she think she is? She just came and she's eating the food. If I were on that table, I'll beat her everyday.' or 'This girl just came and she thinks she's a senior (the grade 11's have a lot of responsibilities!)' or ' Look at her small body' or 'Look at her plenty hair that she's always leaving down. She doesn't even look nice'

(sorry for the swearing)

Michelle fucking pissed me off yesterday at breakfast because all that came out of her mouth was shit! You haven't even gotten to know the girl and you're already trash talking her! And I already don't like Michelle. She has a bitchy streak a mile long (Quite a few people in her grade do). I wanted to say something so bad but I knew she would pull the 'I wasn't talking to you' card on me and I didn't want to ruin my day at breakfast. So I kept quiet and fumed. My other tablemates Nii (grade 9) and Prince (grade 11) tried to talk to me but I was too pissed off at bitchy Michelle. Oh but don't think I'm not gonna get my own back! I'm gonna do stuff that really piss her off. I know she hates it when I clear the food away while she's eating. Hey maybe while I'm doing that, I'll make a bit of the leftover food fall into her plate! (Does that make me a bitch too? I hope not...) Never mess with Sedi's freinds! Ever!

Other stuff which couldn't fit in the title

The sports competition is this Saturday! I'm a bit more excited about it now 'cause my friend, Katakyie, came to visit his sister in school on Sunday and I told him about it. (he goes to one of the other international schools in Ghana and claims he's on his school's soccer team) He said he had to get round his dad but he's hoping. And I also invited him to our school's first ever funfair which is on the 4th of October.

You know, maybe Saturday will not be as bad as I expect. Michael said he may come cause he misses us (Me. Jeani. Eyram, Kandi and 'everyone else'). But hey! you never know what may happen...

Does my new profile pic make me look a little rock star-ish? My hair looks purple! But it's not!
