Hello Interwebz!!

Well, mocks are over, I'm 19 and I have a little over 2 months left of TIS!! Totally Yay Me!!! Urgh, I can't wait to finish! I already have the gave I want to play lined up! Okami, The Urbz (If I can find the disc), Super Mario Galaxy (maybe...) and, if I can get one of my cousins DS's, LoZ Phantom Hourglass! Yeah, after IB is gonna be soo kewl!!

...But before I get there, I got loadz and loadz of workz to do before then! :[

My b'day last week was extremely loow-keey. Got an awesome charm bracelet from Jeani and a few cards here and there. And I wrote a killa Math Paper. And I had to clean for general inspection. And I got a killa headache at the end. Yay me!

Back to work now. Yay me....

Home stretch

Listening to: For You by Utada Hikaru

Gosh, I knew the final semester was going to be tough but, all jokes aside, i'm literally close to tears about my uni apps.

I'm still in the middle of sending and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. I really hope I get some good acceptances and scholarships.

You know, this is actually the worst part of the application process; waiting for responses. The UK-lites have gotten theirs but they are all conditional. That must be equally nerve-wracking. So we're all on our toes now.

Mocks have been postponed to 22nd February cause the teacher want to cover a lot of the syllabus before than. First time that has ever happened!

Going for Geog class now!

2010!!

Listening to: Once by Pearl Jam

About to: Work on Geography

Hoping that: Grace didn't deactivate her Facebook account

Happy New Year! 2010 is gonna be an amazing year. I can feel it!

The first 5 months are gonna be really hectic; finishing college apps, studying for mocks and IB exam...but there are some fun points (CAN 2010!!!) and after MAY!!!: graduation, World Cup, COLLEGE!! Yeah, this year will be good!

Didn't do much New Year's. Went to church, then went over to a friend's place for a bit and then came home to watch Anderson Cooper 360, the New Year's Eve countdown. Kathy Griffin is tooo damn funny. Maybe I should make her my role model...

Ahh...Now I'm trying to work on my Geog cause school starts in a week and I've really procrastinated this Christmas...sigh...

Suck it alll in and deal....

Listening to: Possibility by Lykke Li

Excited about: Finishing exams today and vacation next week!!!

Not excited about: TOK presentations tomorrow and Wednesday

So, so far my exams haven't been as disastrous as I imagined them to be. Lets just wait and see how the results turn out.

So even though I finish exams this week, it isn't gonna be all chilling and roses for me. On the contrary, it's gonna be a hell of a hectic week for me. From tomorrow, I have TOK presentations to worry about. Then I have the bulk of my university applications to worry about. Choir practice comes into the mix since Carols Night is this Sunday. And theeeeen Geography Fieldwork. Not to mention the fact that I'll have to go for classes starting tomorrow. Sheeesh. I preferred exams week....

So on a much lighter note, I got Metal Gear Solid Touch this week. It's hella fun!!! Except that I'm having a hell of a hard time with Crying Wolf. Knowing me and bosses, I'll eventually get it. I mean, I did strof with Shadow Ganon on LoZ: Ocarina of Time (And by strof, I mean, I spent a ******* long time on that boss. But it was fun!). I just have to pace myself....

Ok so figuring out what I'm gonna do this Christmas. Gaming most def (Okami and The Beatles Rock Band), reading (Girlfriend in a Coma and Toby Alone. And I want to re-read Deathly Hallows and Breaking Dawn) and getting my learners permit.

Now I need to email my mum about my highlights. And about snacks. Very important....

For the hell of it, I'm going through my old blog. Check it out if you want to find out how I was back in 06 and 07: http://sedirox.xanga.com

It's an IB thing dawg!

Thinking about: My TOK essay

Hey hey hey!!!

Don't worry, Roxy's still alive! Just felt lazy to blog during the summer so I tweeted instead! But I decided to pick my blog back up again even if no one reads it!

So quick update on the past few months:

-Summer was awesome, merci beaucoup!!

-I'm done with my Extended Essay. And I must say it was actually pretty fun!

-My next hurdle is TOK >.<

-Still finalizing my college list. urgh

-IB is hell. Too damn much!!

-School competitions are now based on colors. I'm a Mighty Blue Cedar and we rock!! The whole colors thing has made school more interesting!! We lost the singing competition and the debate but we really hope we hit 2nd in the fun games we had yesterday (which was fun!)

Ok so that pretty much sums up the major points in my life! My grade's funfair is tomorrow. We dubbed it Supernova and our tops are ILL!! Ha ha, I'll try and upload some pics if I can!! I really hope it goes well! :)

And after that, Jeani's b'day's on Monday (she's finally gonna be 18!) and then, TOK presentation rehearsals on Tuesday, SAT on Saturday and Mid-semester on the 15th!! My dad got me The Beatles Rock Band and luckily it's compatible with my Guitar Hero controller! More all-night rocking for me on the 15th! And hopefully, we'll be moving into our new house! *fingers crossed*

Okey dokey, hold your bated breath for my next post which will possibly (or hopefully) be after the 6th!

Never say bored, just say you have a bit of free time!

Listening to: Internet radio on iTunes....ahh screw this cursed rebuffing stream!! Full Moon by The Black Ghosts

Dreaming about: Okami!!!

True to my word, the day after my last post was a horrible one. I don't remember too much but I got my Math paper and I failed miserably. Here's my report summary:

Math-3

Geography-6

French-5

English-5

Chemistry-5

History-5

Total points-29 out of an impossible 42. Epic. Fail

But anyways, the year ended on a nice note. The IB2's finally graduated and I'm so uber proud of them!!! They're all going to really good school in the fall: Columbia, Princeton, MIT, Leister....I don't remember the UK universities.....

But the last week of school, was killa! I had to do karate, choir and cadets. I got kicked out of cadets last minute 'cause I missed the dress rehearsal due to killa cramps. So I ended up singing and punching on Saturday...

But now it's summer and I'm home!!!! 10 more days and I'm on my way to Dubai!!

Thinking about: Twilight. I need to watch it again!!

I just got a sudden realization: It's been almost a year since my latest crush which officially lasted about 3 weeks but lingered on for a while. The... weird?... annoying?... random?...let's go with random...The random thing about it is the fact I started liking him on his birthday. Random huh? Well, I guess that's what maked it different. And I can comfortably say that out of all the 5 crushes I've had, he was the best. So let's just say I'm kinda glad I freefell. 2 days before his b'day, I knew what was gonna happen. I told myself "Sedi, you cannot get a crush at this crucial point in time of your life. Besides, you know what will happen to you at the end of the day." My IG's were only a few days away and I knew it would end badly. I always end up hurt.I guess that's why they're called crushes. But did I listen. Noooooo. I fell. Quite bad actually.

But you know what hurts? All the time I liked him, he actually liked someone else. When I found out, naturally, I was quite upset. He didn't know I liked him so I can't really blame him much. Funnily enough, we actually like a couple anytime we were together. Holding hands, laughing,hugging...gosh it was all so cute!!! The Se-rah told me that he liked someone else. That was when the process of forgetting began but it took a long time. It still lingers but it's not as strong. Sometimes I'll look at him and be like "Can someone please tell me why I had a crush on this dude?" Granted, he's a nice guy, but sometimes I just wonder... Now I think he likes this other girl and anytime I see them together, I get really happy. And I mean happy. Jeani and Myma think I'm delusional but I just think I'm glad he's moving on. Since he is, I don't have to tell him, right?

And besides, I gotta concentrate on more importanter stuff in my life. Like G.A.M.I.N.G.!!! My half-sis Amy got married last week and my dad went to Utah for the wedding. I felt that my gaming had become very one-sided *coughGuitarHerocough* so I need to come back down to earth. And what better way to do that than to get a game that has been critically acclaimed by everyone-Okami. I started it last night and it's really good. The one thing I love about it it the fact that the graphics are like Old Japanese paintings. Tres fantastique!!! I'm gonna play it when I'm done here!!!

So now my half-sis is married and my family had expanded!!! My dad was telling me stories and they sound so well-behaved and nice. Gosh, I really wish I had gone!! It sounded like it was so much fun!! *sigh* School sucks!!

Exams are coming up *yuck* Which involves a lot of studying *yuck* and I still haven't done my EE! Sucks even more!! Wish me luck v.v 

Forever lonely on the 14th

Can't find: my French notebook
Worrying about: falling grades in Geography and French
Looking forward to: my birthday and mid-term!!
Dreaming about: The chocolate I am going to devour soon ;-P


First off, Jeani said I should mention that she is stressed so.... Jeani is stressed. OK, she's not as stressed as she was this weekend but she is still stressed because she is doing her Economics presentation right now and she can't wait for tomorrow cause she doesnt have Economics again for the rest of the week.

The prefect list was annouced and the new prefects have been in power for about a week now. Jeani got Entertainment, Kafui Deputy Senior Prefect and Ama MPH prefect.

So seeing as Jeani is Entertainment and Valentine's day was around the corner, I helped her start the chocolate orders. First, we had to get an estimate of how many bars we had to buy so we asked round and got an estimate of almost 2000 bars!!! Then we had to get the names of who they were sending the chocolate to and wrap and deliver. Here's where the mixup started: We had the lists both on paper and on Jeani's laptop and stayed up until midnight on Friday wrapping the chocolate. People would see the list on the paper, do the wrapping and writing of messages and put the list away and another person would do the same list AGAIN!! Same thing happened with the lists on Jeani's laptop. So there were double orders while people got no orders. Even after staying up, we still couldnt finish so majority of Saturday was spent wrapping and delivering (some Valentine's day). And then people came to attack us asking for refunds cause their orders didnt go through (and I am very embarassed to say that I found a list in my school bag- a delivery that never went through). So, that was basically my quite crappy/stressful 14th. The only fun part of that day was watching Episode 10 of my favourite Korean soap 'Boys Before Flowers'!!! That show rocks!!! I sent to 40 people this year and got about 10 bars (hey at least it's an increase from last year's 7!!)

You know how some people say that Friday the 13th is a bad luck day? They were wrong: Friday the 13th for me was Epic Fail day. g4tv.com used to make Thrusdays Epic Fail days but they stopped a long time ago (it was fun while it lasted!) Lemme explain:

Seeing as people has decided to send chocolate to day students and teachers (*cough* yours truly is a good example to use!) Jeani and the whole "Entertainment Squad" decided to deliver their on Friday so we wrapped Thrusday night. Luckily, it was only 18 bars so we were done in no time. We decided to deliver at snack time when the whole school was in the MPH. I started delivering and some of my friends wanted to deliver too so I gave them a few bars to distribute. I put the ones from me aside and told Valerie to deliver them for me. I was only sending to Se-rah, Keith and Fang. Se-rah had been MIA for the past few days so I couldn't get hers to her then, Fnag was having a serious paper mix-up or something so hers was put on hold so it was only left with Keith's He had an exam after snack so I walked Valerie all the way to the Exam Hall. I told her to wait and I went to the art room with Jeani to give Yea-Young her chocolate. We came out and Valerie started complaining that he wasnt coming fast enough. I told her to be patient and that she was doing me a really big favour and that I love her forever. I was about to go back downstairs when she told me he was coming. Having no other option, I ran back into the art room and stayed there for about 10 minutes. Valerie came in, one less bar of chocolate later and told me her side:

After I ran into the art room, one of the Physics teachers came up to her and started teasing her cause her birthday was the next day. Keith came up and thought today was her birthday and tapped her. She turned and did her stupid delivery song thingy and gave him the chocolate. He smiled and she had to remind him that it wasnt from her. His smile became brighter and then she came into the art room.

I couldnt leave just yet cause he was still standing outside. He finally went into the Exam hall and I finally left. I decided to play hide-and-seek for the rest of the day which was fun for a while. I went with Jeani to check her SAT scores (by the way, I failed mine. I got 1760... Jeani didn't tell me hers). Then I went for my TOK class and finished up the lists. While I was working on the lists, I kept on seeing Jeani at the library entrance. Getting extremely bored after an hour, I went their to see her and then I asked Valerie if she had delivered to Se-rah and Fang. Se-rah was still MIA and Fang was still paper mixed up. Luckily, I saw Se-rah bag in front of the library and put it in. She was so excited about it but she couldnt tell me face-to-face. She did it via Facebook:

hey, thanks for the valentine's chokii~!
it was unexpectable...
luv ya too~~~
i won't 4get wat u hav done to me...
at least i hav to pay you bac...huh?
welll....
i hav 4gotten that valentine was coming...
happy future valentine^3^~~~~
thanks!

Can someone please explain why people have to buy gifts for people if someone gives them a gift? I happen to really like giving gifts to my friends and dont expect anything back in return.

Where was I?






Oh yeah: Epic Fail Friday!

So I come out of the library and Jeani is still waiting for me and told me Keith passed by. I wiped my brow of imaginary sweat, glad to have missed him. But quite unfortunately, he came from the other corner.... He said thanks and kinda go a little worried that he didn't get me anything. I told him no worries and walked off. Jeani was disappointed, Valerie was disappointed cause they were expecting something much more...um... bigger? Rita said this whole thing was not Epic Fail. She wouldnt know Epic Fail even if it bit her in her behind!!

Now, I can gladly concentrate on the most important day of the year: MY BIRTHDAY!!! 9 days to legalization!!!

Not my fault!!

(lack of statuses)

Hey hey hey!!! Don't give me that look! I know it's been a while but it's soo not my fault!! The wireless access points in school have all been destroyed due to excessive downloads from the junior years so now the network now runs on cable internet. So I am actually in the computer lab right now. *sigh*

So much has happened, I don't even know where to start!! My SAT's were OK; the atmoshere was not conducive for writing a 3hour 45 minute paper AT ALL!! We wrote it at some local high school and some of the students who were'nt writing were making a helluva lot of noise. And these kids were running around screaming at the top of their voices. The results should be out soon...

The month of February means my birthday's coming up!! I almost forgot until last week. You can't blame me though, I going through a lot!! School's gotten way to crazy and it's just stating to get a little less hectic because of the fact that my SAT's are over and that the drama competition too is over (Catherine came 3rd). So I'm having quite a bit of free time on my hands and it feels soo awesome!!!

Speaking of which, Valentine's Day (aka Valerie's birthday!!) is coming!! Can't wait!! Last year we had a chocolate delivery in school and I sent chocolate to 21 people!! This year, I know it's gonna be more than 21, I have the usual suspects; Jeani, Eli, Erika, Valerie.. some new additions; Rita, Keith... and unfortunatly, some people from last year wont be getting any; Monita, Micheal.... CAUSE THEY'VE LEFT!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! (uncalled for!!)

Prefect elections are almost over!! I thought I would be nominated for a position but I wasn't. The campaigning time was too short. So I'm not gonna become a prefect. People have been telling me since Grade 7 that I would be a prefect in Grade 11. But I'm not. Jeani was nominated for Entertainment prefect and Ama and Kafui were both nominated for Head Prefect!! The finalized list will be ready by tomorrow. I'm actually not upset cause being a prefect would be really stressful. So I'm gonna campaign to be the Student Representitive Council member for my class. If I get elected, I'm gonna fight hard for change in the school!!!!

"The school is on fire!!!"- Jeani

(forever random!!! lol)

Exams are officially finally over!! My last French paper was manageable but tiring.  Classes official started today and already I've been bombarded with loads of work. I have an English commentary due tomorrow by lunch, a Geography presentation next Wednesday and I have to start thinking about my History Investigation (what am I, a detective?). On top of all that, I have to start working on the SAT writing section cause I suck at English stuff in general.

This weekend's gonna be long cause tomorrow and Monday are holidays (tomorrow is Farmer's day and Monday is one of the Muslim holidays. I forgot which one) and on top of all that, Sunday is Ghana's election day. I'm still too young to vote (one year below the voting age even though I'm turning 18 in less than 3 months). I really hope there's no bloodshed... Elections can get violent sometimes...

So with all this free time(!), what am I doing on the side? Well, Christmas is coming so that means my school's annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. Not only am I in the choir, but I'm also the star of the play!!! (literally. THE star!) This year, we decided that the wise men would chase the star to baby Jesus. The whole play is one big irony, it's so hilarious. Now I just need Se-Rah to help me with my costume cause she's really artistic.

Erika and I had a bit of a... recently so I don't know if she's not talking to me. I say hi to her sometimes but she kinda brushes me off with a smile on her face. I really hope she's still not mad at me cause I love her to bits!!! (Full story later probably)

And as promised- pics!!

I took this during Geography class today cause I was really happy and hyper!!!!

Kandi and Henry were messing around with my laptop the other day (don't tell them I uploaded this!!)

I declared yesterday Smosh Day cause I wanted to watch all my Smosh videos in one day. I didn't finish so I pushed the 'holiday' to today too!!

And she's little!!

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?

Emotionally scarred last Saturday...*Cue suspense music*

Listening to: Do It by Nelly Furtado
Watching: BBA 3 (Tawana looks like a crayon!!!)
Indecision: What am I doing today???

I found my extremely old iPod. The mini. It's bulky and looks older than 4 years but I'm having a blast listening to all my old songs!!

The Founder's day week ended on a good note. We all had to were our school polos on Friday (ew!!) but it was an interesting day. We had this big assembly thing with a play and awards and junk. Then we spent the rest of the day getting ready for the funfair...

...which, by my standards, was a success. We weren't fully ready by 10 especially since most of the 12 graders went to write SAT's but we bounced back quite quick. I helped with the haunted house the day before (which was an uber success!!! The most successful thing at the funfair after Jamz...) and spent the whole day walking all over the place even though I worked in both the casino and games room. (I played Mario Kart Wii too!! It was quite fun) At about 2:30 I went to the Jamz room but it wasn't really active cause it just started. I left at 3, found Jeani who had spent the day with her parents and we went back at 3:30 and the place was damn hot!! I saw smoke coming out of the room and was like 'Who's smoking up there?' (It was on the 3rd floor of the Resource Center) Entered the room and immediatly got hit by a blast of hot hair. I stayed in until 5, dancing my little heart out. We managed to get the best DJ in Ghana- DJ Black!! My hair was uber wet with sweat but I think it was worth it!! (But there are some memories I want to throw away to the deepest darkest corners of the earth. *shudders*)

We watched a few performances for an hour then the Jamz continued until 8. At this point in time it became a free-for-all (at first it was 16 and over) I went back in at 7 cause I was hanging with Jeani. She said she couldn't go back in there so she went back to the room and watched Stardust. I went back in and the nightmare started all over again (Why???) The fun part was over... When the lights came back on, the walls were discolored cause people had grinded seriously on the walls... Most of the teachers were mad!!

So basically that was the funfair (The Premiere...Fly @ 5). I spent the past week looking back at everything that's happened to me during the past mid-semester... And the analysis? I gotta work harder academically, I gotta clear my head of what doesn't deserve to be there (It's gonna be soo hard!!), and I gotta go crazy for CAS!!!! My mid-semester report was good though. I got about 36 points so hopefully I'm on the merit list (more good things for my college applications!!)

Now I have to plan my mid-term... driving...lunch with friends...mall crawling...Guitar Hero... hmm...needs more activities... Mother is screaming something about grandmothers... gosh!!

"The sea is wine red/ This is the death of beauty"

Listening to: Jeremy by Pearl Jam

Current academic pursuit:Finishing/doing English and Math homework

Hoping: The funfair goes off without a hitch.

Theophilus just gave Jeani and I nicknames: Timon and Pumbaa. I'm Timon and Jeani's Pumbaa. I asked him why he gave us the nicknames and he said it's because I'm small and Jeani's big. My logical reason is that Timon is the crazy ringleader and Pumbaa kinda goes along with the flow (ok so we don't really act like that but it's close!)

Right now, my school is celebrating it's 5th anniversary. The actual day is on Friday but there are activities planned for the whole week.

Monday- Symposium on international education. Yawn! At one point in time, Ama, Akosua and I were in the bathroom and played 2-4-6-1-1 and ampe!)

Tuesday- Debate. "Is Ghana ready for a female president?" Boys were for and girls against the motion. The girls won by a landslide!! It was hilarious!!

Wednesday- Career Day. Spent most of my time with the IT experts!!!

Thursday- Staff vs students football match. I always look forward to this every year!! 

Friday (A-day)- NO SCHOOL!! Photo exhibition, enactment of school's dream, special assembly and some other stuff I can't remember...

Saturday- Funfair!!

Sunday- Special anniversary church service.

Next Friday- MID-TERM!!!!! lol!

Busy week huh? Well, I guess. And it doesn't help that I have tests coming up (Math on monday) and homework (English is 2 and a half pages? why????). IB's a crazy thing...

Oh yeah almost forgot to mention: Saturday's games were the most boring ever but it was the best for me! Weird huh? My cousin Gabriella came (shocker!) and Micheal too!! Yay!!! I missed him so much! And now everyone's looking forward to the funfair! The IT department actually unblocked Facebook so we could tell everyone about the funfair!! Can you imagine? Well, I'm abusing it. I haven't really said anything about it yet but I will, soon. I reminded Katakyie about it again. He's forever grounded!! I just hope his dad allows him to come. I mean I practically begged his dad to let him come. And Michael said he's sacrificing his exeat to come. Yay!! But don't worry guys (aka whoever reads this), I'll give you the full report next week!!

Ok now seriously, I have to do my work...

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...

This sucks for you!! or me maybe...

Watching: One on One (Dunno what season)

Eating: Reese's Snack Bar and a huge chocolate chip cookie

Wishing: nothing at the mo

Trying to: Download Maroon 5's "It Won't Be Soon Before Long"

...well...my first post...I should say something... I dunno...ok... here goes...

Let's start with the basics. My name's Sedinam but everyone calls me Sedi or Roxy (even some of my teachers) The 'Roxy' is a long story...

My summer's is ending in a week. And I must say it's been uber awesome even though I didn't travel. Last year, I spent 90% of my summer in the U.S. It pwn'd! This year pwn'd too in it's own way. 

My parents went to L.A. early in the summer for the Rotary Convention so my sister Elikem (aka Eli) and I stayed with our uncle and cousins Mawena (Momo) and Mifatu (Mifa or Miffy) for 3 weeks. After my parents got back, my cousin from France, Edna, came to stay with us for 2 weeks. When she left for Niger, my other cousins from London came: Caitlin and Kiva. So they are leaving tomorrow and Eli went back to school today. Sucks for her!!

But in between all that, I got a summer job at a internet cafe, took driving lessons and went to a Fat Joe concert (it pwn'd!!)

So... facing the final week, there are stuff I wanna do like...

-Go over to my best friend Jeani's house and finally watch parts 2 and 3 of the Pirates of the Caribbean series (I never watched them.Ever... >.<)

-Go over to my cousin Micheal's house and played Fusion Frenzy 2 and get the Sims 2 on my Mac (whom I have named starchild. She's a 13-inch white Macbook!!)

-Hang out with Emily and Micheal before Emily goes back to London

-Hang out with my other cousin Gabriella (still haven't heard back from her...)

Analysis on the first post: UBER BORING!!!!! If I keep this up I'll slowly fade away into oblivion...
