"Denial is the strongerst form of affirmation"- Jeani

Listening to: the sound of half my prep class playing bingo (not the kind old people play)
Worried about: Frigging french orals tomorrow!!!

Bonjour tout le monde!!!

My prep class is mucho grande noisy tonight but I'm not gonna tell them to keep it down. This is our form of rebelling the fact that we STILL have to go for prep even when exams are over. The teachers need to take a hint....

The past few days of my life have been quite fun!! Saturday, I dressed up as Jan Di from Boys Before Flowers for the fashion show we had for entertainment. Luckily, I didnt get punished for wearing a short skirt until what happened 2 years ago...

Sunday, I just chilled out and went to SOS for their Pan-African Night Market. It was loads of fun. I tried this really cool Ethiopian dish which was quite yummy. I dont know what it was called though. And I saw Micheal (Yipee!!!) and he gave me some really nice blue and purple beads. And once again, I got that nagging feeliing in me that I should have gone to SOS. Oh well...

Today was a holiday (African Union Day) and the Pan-African club organized a sale. We sold kelewele, ice cream, coconuts and condensed milk toffee (when I get home, I'm making truckloads of that thing and eating it all by my alone). We made 250 ghc!!!! The music was soley African so I heard all of my fave songs like Mo Gbono Feli Feli, Azonto and the Pigaro club mix!!

So after this much fun, I'm absolutely dreading first period French tommorow. Not to mention see some of my exam papers in which I did absolutely badly!! (I have to start making excuses for my parents.). And the cherry on the cake- French orals. I'm gonna be soooo depressed tommorow....

Chapter 5- Angels and Monsters

Watching: SNL

Feeling: extremely hot. The weather's been like that lately

Really liking: My gold highlights

Oh my gosh, it's soooo good to be home!!! Christmas is here!!!!

So my report was good. I got 5's and 6's but I got a 3 in History!!! Wow, so the exam was that bad!!! No merit list for me next semester...

Tommorow is my grandma's birthday so, obviously, we're planning this huge party for her cause she's 70. My mum, unclle and aunt got her a TV!! How cool. Last year, they got her this really cute blue TATA car. She said I can use it anytime I want!!! Whoo hoo! The pedals are so light and extremely responsive!!

My school's festival of 9 lessons and carols was really successful to those invited. To me, it was the worst carols service in all my 5 years of being in school. Seriously. There were so many gaps between items and the microphone weren't working half of the time. It was really embarrassing!!!

So even though so much has happened, I really don't have that much to say cause I'm feeling extremely lazy. I'm gonna see if I can convince my sis if we can play The Sims. I was playing the really old Sims game for Gamecube on my Wii on Friday and a serious wave of nostalgia hit me. We used to make a seriously random family and lock them in a house and kill them by buying a lot of fireplaces and making them burn!!! It's soo much fun.

And I have to write that poem for my grandmother which I will post here when it's done. And I have to do some form of SAT prep. The Scarlet Letter is extremely boring. I think I've forgotten how to read books. Especially classics. Cause I can't make heads or tails which the book. The only good thing is the fact that it has over 800 SAT vocab words.

Tuesday, I have choir rehearsal cause my school choir is performing at Joy FM's carols service. See, what happened was this: Someone from Joy FM came to our carol's service and fell in love with our choir. So we went to the radio station last Monday (I didn't go cause there wasnt enough space. Paula and I were the rejects!). But I am singing at the carols service on Christmas Eve. My sis doesn't want to go cause of what happened last Christmas Eve...

flashback

My mum, my sis and I were hungry so we decided to go get a take away from a restaurant. While we were there, this lady ran in and out of the place twice then we heard gunshots. Everyone in the restaurant immediately dropped to the floor. It was really scary. After some time, everyone regained composure and came out of their hiding places and left the place. Luckily, our food was ready so we paid and left. Apparently, some robbers were trying to steal a lady's bag but she resisted so they tried to shoot her. One of the bullets even passed through the door. No one was hurt though.

That's why my sis is paranoid about going out on Christmas Eve. Not her fault, really...
