Full house Friday Night

Listening to: Some jazz song.
Recalling: Facts from History and Chem at the same time.
Muching on: Chocolate!!!

Hello world!!
So very luckily for me, the IB is begining to wind down. But not without giving me its final doses of stress! Ha ha! Haven't blogged in a while due to it.

So, on a much happy note, I am DONE with my university applications but struggling with financial aid. And after some mucho grande complaing, I got accepted into a university: Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis! Since I'm still struggling with financial aid, they havent given me anything yet. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good package. And praying that I get good financial aid packages from my other schools. The ones I get accepted into...

Just had an awesome Friday night. I thought my Friday night was going to be dead but it wasn't! My cousins and friends came over and we went for pizza and just talked. They just left like 15 minutes ago. But it was a really fun Friday night! So after this, I'm gonna study detente during the Cold War.

My birthday's in exactly a week. And I am absolutely dreading it cause I'm turning 19! I'm old! Not to mention, I have mocks starting Monday. Been studying all day and I'm about to study History (detente during the Cold War more specifically). But right now, I want either juice or a soft drink but there is a lack of that in the house (no Alvaro :[ ) I'll be fine...I hope...

Where are my slippers????????

Listening to: Me ye manager by Asem

Feeling: emotionally unstable

*Yawn* I just woke up and got this nagging feeling.....Okami. I'm on the first boss, Waka and he is damn hard. But then I haven't tried enough. I'll spend today doing that and hopefully I'll get through....

But that's not the only thing I'm worried about. I'm aslo worried about my sleepover with Jeani. I have a bad feeling it might not come on. It all depends on a get-together Ewuradjoa is planning. A friends of ours, Priya, is in town for a few days from India. And we haven't seen her in years!!! We're hoping to meet up with her tomorrow but our other friend, Nana Tachiaw, is kinda in a situation. She has this exam thing and her mum might not let her go out so we're keeping our fingers crossed. 'Cause if not then we have to plan on Monday...without Priya 'cause that's when she's leaving. And that's when I plan on going over to Jeani''s. If we get the green light for tomorrow, The I'll hustle to sleepover at Jeani's Sunday-Monday. The reason why I'm planning so hard is that when I get back, I'll be having SAT classes and working towards my license. My fingers are crossed tighter than lightening....

 So that's what's nagging me. And I also got the shock of my life yesterday. My dad came back form China in the afternoon (that's not the shock), he unpacked and bullied my sis and I into the car and drove us to the estate my uncle lives at. He stopped in front of an incompleted house and proclaimed "This is your new house"(This isn't the shock, I'm getting to it...Just kidding!) We had a look around and it's not bad. First off, it's not too far from our current house and Eli and I had our own rooms. And it's quite a nice house. We were suppose to have moved in by now but work got delayed...we might move in by end of summer...and I only get a few months in the house before college...

Now if you'll excuse my, I'm gonna go eat breakfast, defeat Waka after multiple tries and play Crystal Defenders.

Chez moi!!

Listening to: Joy FM

Glad to be: home!!!

Looking forward to: the beach!!!!

So even though mid term was about 3 weeks ago, I'm still really glad to be home!!!! And lucky I don't have any report to show or any form of homework apart from my Extended Essay which I don't mind too much. MORE CHILLINGS!!!!!

Okey dokey y'all. April Fools' day was Epic Fail with a capital E and F. See, I did research the day before and found the Oreo-and-toothpaste joke. I tried it at snack but no one believed me. My best trick was the one I played on Nana Adu-Kofi. He came to me and asked me for Heroes episode 21 and I casually told him I had it so I put it on his laptop for him. In actual fact, I gave him Kevin Pereira's video "808 and Expiration dates" with the file name "Heroes 21".  He fell for it!!! He tracked me down in the computer lab and really gave it to me. I laughed my head off the whole time. I also tricked my sis Eli. She wanted a song, Runaway by Styl-Plus and I told her I had it but in actual fact, I just renamed Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday to that. She was so upset.... LOL!!!

One of the things I dislike about being a college-bound student are the arguments I have to encounter with my parents. I just got home and I had this disagreement with my mum about standardized tests. I wrote the ACT last week and now she wants me to do SAT AND ACT again cause she thinks not all schools accept ACT and she also thinks that the ACT is and add-on to SAT. She got me really fired up that my good mood kinda died. Now I have to have the same discussion with my dad which is likely gonna be worse...

So much stuff has happened in school this past few weeks that has made me realize how extremely lucky I am. Priscilla mentioned it some time. I hardly have anything to worry about. My grades are good, my friends are good too, almost nobody talks about me behind my back, I'm liked by almost everyone... and I realized that it's really true. And I'm eternally grateful for that. But funnily enough, some people can't understand why I've never dated before. Myma was really shocked when she found out. She said I'm really pretty and I have a really great personality but why? I told her that it's only this academic year that boys have started taking me seriously.  But whatever....

OH!!! I gotta go!! Beach time!!

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!

"IB is a rigorous course for highly motivated students" lulz... (Happy birthday Dolly!!!)

Listening to: Mirrorcle World by Ayumi Hamasaki

Hiding in: the Library (no ones after me though!)

Current academic pursuit: Filling out my CAS form

Hey all. I know it's been a while since my last update. School started and everything's just gone crazy!!

When I came back to school last Saturday, everyone was uber happy to see me. I was practically floating on cloud 11 (shows you how happy I was!)

Sunday, we got our new uniforms... X_X. I hate them. My dad loves them...

(full body shoot coming soon)

Now IB is in full swing for my grades. We have quite a few new people and there's already a lot of drama (and it's only been about a week!!!) So now here's my official list of subjects:

Mathematics Higher Level

Geography Higher Level

French Higher Level

English Standard Level

Chemistry Standard Level

History Standard Level

History and Geography clash on the timetable so until a change is made, I have to alternate. I go for History on Mondays and Geography Tuesdays to Thursday. So far my fave subject is Math (what a geek... but by next week, I'll be wishing I never choose the damn subject...) 

Oh gosh I thought was gonna talk about soo much..Ok I have a bit of time...(I have another free period and another...CAS can wait a bit)

So Fang spent her summer in China but she was in Shanghai. She got me some cute hair stuff and one of those toys you get from McDonalds. It was the red Olympics mascot, Huanhuan or whatever its called. She told me their names strung together translated to "Beijing welcomes you!" You gotta love the Chinese...

Snack time!!! Not like I'm going...
