And she's little!!

Listening to: I'll be home for Christmas by Drew Seeley
Feeling: Glassy-eyed, numb and tired (In the middle of the day!!!)
Failure to work on: SAT Math
Number of exam papers left: 1 (French text handling)


I am exactly 85.71% done with my exams (I have a total of 7 papers and I've done 6) so I've been free the whole day today. I spent 2 and a half hours playing the Sims 2 and watched an episode of How I Met Your Mother. I really need to take a nap cause I look like shit right now but I'm not gonna. I pulling a strong late night tonight. After lunch (hopefully if there is no karate) I'll play the Sims until 5:30, bath, go for dinner and hopefully if nothing comes up I'll do my laundry and watch as many episodes of How I Met Your Mother as I can. And tomorrow I WILL study SAT Math. Promise!!
My exams so far have been a roller coaster of ..... dunno. Let's recap shall we?

Monday:
Math: A horrible way to start the exams. 7 questions in 2 hours. 1-4 were manageable but after that it became more horrible. Luckily I was able to get a 5 and I am EXTREMELY proud of myself!!!

History: Who writes a History exam in 1 and a half hours and FINISHES??? I had to writes 3 VERY detailed essay in 90 minutes. Obviously, I didn't finish...

Tuesday:
English: Once again, unable to finish. I had so many ideas to talk about I spent 30 minutes writing them all down and an hour to write the actual essay. My ideas were sooo many only a quarter made it into the actual essay. And I didn't even talk about STYLE!!!

Wednesday:
Chemistry: @_@ (nuff said)

Geography: Oh my hacking gosh!! Question 2 c!!! Why????

Thursday:
French 1: So far, I think this is the only paper I was able to finish before time and go over my work. My essay look less than 300 but it actually a little over. I really squished my handwriting on the page.
I just hope my grades are good enough to keep me on the merit list. I highly doubt it though...



I just realized that my blog's a bit dead so I 'm gonna start putting more pictures up. I'll spend most of this weekend (if I can) taking pics on my Mac to put up here. But for now let's start with this one. I don't know where they took it though. Matthew's laptop I think. Valerie gave me her pen drive so I stole them. They look so cute and fresh!

I had what I will liberally call "the best dream eva!" last night. Lemme just say that it felt so real that I thought it was really real. But the rising bell rang and I was brought back to cruel reality. I almost cried. I can still the note really visibly. The words. The confession. The kisses. The hugs. The relative barrier. The nickname at the end. My feelings from last semester want to come back. They've been fighting with my normal feelings for some time. Now I don't know if I've really moved on. The other side has but might be showing very faint signs but it could be my imagination.
(Sorry if I seem quite confusing and not giving a lot of information. I don't know if I want to say the WHOLE thing. Yet.)

Onwards to tomfoolery!!!!

It's Just Another Way To Die

Listening to: A Kiss To Send Us Off by Incubus
Studying: Math (test tomorrow!!)
Loving: The new cinema at the mall

Believe it or not, I just woke up. What a life. Wake up then blog.

My weekend was good. The highlight is the fact that I'm home! I came home on Friday 'cause I had a doctor's appointment and stayed all weekend! My parents had gone to Dubai for the week cause it was my mum's birthday last Saturday (coughhoneymooncough) so they met up with me at the ultra sonic scan office. My mum spent practically the rest of the day telling me all she did in Dubai; shopping, sightseeing... the works.

 After the doctor's, we went home and I took a nap Then we went to see Quantum of Solace at the new cinema at the mall. It's really cool. The cinema I mean. The movie was good too. It's the first Bond movie I've seen from beginning to end. Then we went to the exclusive bar in the mall- Rhapsody's. They don't allow under 23's in after 6 but I got in smoothly. It was awesome!! But the service was soo bad we ended up going to some take-away place and eating starters until 1 am when we left for home.

Yesterday was uneventul. I spent most of it studying and working on my iTunes library. I have over a 1000 songs!! Go me!! 

So know I'm still studying cause I got a serious Math test and I might also have my TOK test tomorrow.

Hey, I hope the girls had fun on their day out yesterday!

Oh my hacking gosh thank you!!!

Listening to:Within Me by Lacuna Coil
Working on: SAT's
Thinking about: My TOK quiz tomorrow and my hot math quiz on Monday

Oh my gosh, you will not believe how ESTATIC I am right now!!!! I had a French essay due today and I had left my exercise book in the hostel so I was contemplating going back for it but I chickened out (We're not allowed to go back to the hostel during school hours). So I copied out my essay on paper and hoped for the best. I go for Geography class and Dzifa tells me that we don't have a French class today cause our French teacher is busy with the 12th graders' oral exam!!!!! I was soooo happy it was scary!!

So what's been cracking with me lately? Nothing much. I'm just trying to study for exams but soo much stuff pops up. Like how I wanted to learn History last night but I had to do my French essay instead... oh well... Next week is revision week so no homework, no tests just revision for exams. *sighs* I really hope I get above 30 points. I'm aiming for 5's in all my HL's, a 7 in History and a 5 or 6 in either English or Chemistry.

Wish me luck!!!!

"Once or Twice"- Jeani's random phrase of the day!

Listening to: Prelude 21/12 by AFI
Doing: Geography research on Thomas Malthus 
Looking forward to: Exeat this Saturday!!!

Jeani, will you blog for me? I'm feeling lazy...











fine...

The school's internet has not been working properly for some time. At one point in time, I felt that the whole school was like the South Park episode were they wake up one morning and the internet's gone (and funnily enough, Dolly and I stayed up the night before it happened doing our MUN research)

Ah, MUN. There was an MUN conference at another school about 2 weeks ago and I was the delegate of Panama in the Security Council. Lemme just say that it was my first official MUN so I was a bit confused so I was quite quiet during the debates. But when we had the Generel Assembly, I was talking up a storm! Some terrorists had captured a fellow delegate and wanted the whole of Australia. If we didn't comply within 2 hours, the delegate would be killed and they had suicide bombers in all the major cities in the world. Unfortunately, when we can out with a resolution after the 2 hour deadline so the delegate was killed and 105 million people were killed in the suicide blasts. (remember, it's fake. It didn't really happen. But the delegate was really absent that day.)

And I'm proud to say that I'm failing 5 of my 6 classes!! Weird huh? The only subject I'm doing ok in is English and that's because we've hardly done any exercises. I had Math and Geography tests the Monday after the MUN conference. And because I had spent the whole weekend doing the Conference, I didn't get time to study so I failed and failed miserably!! But the only reason why I'm happy is cause it will give me the energy to learn for exams so I can have a really good report this Christmas (exams are in 20 days...)

Halloween this year was a bit dead. I went as Boxman from Smosh and I got 2nd place for bet costume. Daniela won- she was a snake lady. And it was so painful cause everyone kept on hitting me while I was in the box and I didn't take a lot of pictures that night...


Today, they FINALLY resolved the History and Geography problem. The History class has been spilt up to 2 sets. I'm in set 2 a.k.a non-Economics students. So now I have History when there's Economics. That means my beautiful timetable has been destroyed. I used to have a free period every single day but now I only have free periods on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays (at least my 4 free periods on Fridays are still intact) And we just got a student teacher from Central Michigan University in our History class yesterday... v.v 

Oh, I almost forgot! Today's election day and everyone in school's gone Obama crazy!!! It's so hilarious!! And Ghana's elections are in about a month...

And I would also like to mention that too many people are born on the 4th of November!! Happy birthday Lizzie, Rita, Nii and Somi!!

By the way, I'm officially math retarded!! I can solve really hard math questions but I can't solve really hard ones!! Example is the last question. It was a simple math question but I spent a good 15 minutes trying to solve it and I know I got it wrong. crazy huh?
