The heat doesn't faze me!!!!

Listening to: Diamonds and Coal by Incubus
Chatting with: Robert and Fang

Hey all!!!
Just got into Dubai this morning. The flight was good even after all the mess when went through before... I didnt sleep the whole flight and eventually crash when we got to the hotel(around 7 am. Our flight left 5:30 GMT) even though I said I wouldn't. When we woke up it was 2 Dubai time and we spent the rest of the day at the awesome Dubai Mall which we didnt even finish seeing. Now we're just hanging out at the hotel room being random. Tomorrow we're going to the water world and other stuff. Then we leave for Birmingham early Sunday morning!!!

EXTREME PAIN!!! and hate...

Watching: Wizards of Waverly Place
Dreaming about: Boondocks
Excited about:Flying out on Thursday (Dubai!!!)
Going to: Redo my nails later... and watch Boondocks


Just got back from Jeani's place. Signifying that all feelings on naggingness is gone!! I spent Monday and today over at her place. We watched Twilight (again!) and it was just as awesome as before (The trailer for New Moon scared me. In a weird way).

I spent most of Saturday in agony due to the fact that I was braiding my hair for summer. And I haven't braided my hair in years!!!! I cried Sunday morning cause it hurt like hell and I hated it with a passion. But now I'm used to it (even though it gives me a headache everyday) and can't wait to take it out when I get back!!!

Ah, summer! Can't wait to get to Dubai. Depending on my situation, my next post will be from there. Hopefully...

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!!

In which the most awesome epiphany was had!!! :-P

In the: Biology lab
Worried about: getting a flipping compiler!!!!

(follow me on twitter! www.twitter.com/sedirox)
Do me a favour-don't ask me how my exams went. It's just been one disaster after the other. My only OK-ish paper was English. Followed by Geog paper 1. Don't get me started on Math... I was kinda sick already... and I failed. miserably.

I had a really awesome epiphany on Friday. My life long aspiration is to be a renowned video game designer like Shigeru Miyamoto. But to say "I want to be a video game designer" to anyone who asks is kinda... well... sounds off-ish. So, I decided that instead I'll say "I want to be a computer programmer" which does sound kinda cool. And, if all goes well, I'll be a computer programmer by the end of the year. Right now, I'm in the process of learning C++ (hence the need for a compiler) So if someone asks me sometime next year what I want to be, I'll say "A computer programmer but I'm already one" S-O-H-A-C-K-I-N-G-C-O-O-L!!!!!!!

According to my countdown timer, I have 17 days, 0 hours, 10 minutes and 40 seconds until summer!!! (6th June!!!!!) And then...my last year of high school. The IB2's are leaving this week. I'm gonna miss some of them so much it's not even funny... Lucie, Myma, Marcelle, Ashley, Lana.... v.v Can't wait for my graduation. Michael has promised to design my dress for me so that means, it's gonna be off the hook!!! Yayness!!!!

Ok,  I'm gonna go wallow in self pity cause my Extended Essay is still giving me hassle. I have to go for a police scanning tommorow.

P.S. my favorite couple broke up. Well, not like they were going out. I just used to see them together a lot and I really liked it. Now, I hardly see them together...

No longer special!!!!

In the: computer lab with Grace and Elsie
Worrying about: my math quiz tomorrow and my Extended Essay
Excited about: My half-sis's wedding this Saturday!!!!!!!!!

L is for the way you look at her
O is for the only one you see
V is very very very happy-making
E is even more than anyone that you adore can...
Ok, sorry about that. It's just that since Friday, I've been seeing some individuals together a lot and it's just made me really happy. You would think that I'm jealous or something but I'm not. Honest! I'm just really happy about it. I saw the two of them together and my world immediately became right again. I asked Rita yesterday if anything was going on between the two of them but she said no. I begged her to just lie to me and tell me that there was something going on but she said nothing was going on. She even said that the guys doesnt like the girl and the girl likes someone else. Well, I really hope that the guys really likes the girl cause I dont mind too much if the girl likes someone else. If the guy didn't like anyone, I would become upset. Again.
So.... My grade has already started planning for the funfair for next semester. It's called Super Nova and I'm in charge of the Games Room! More Guitar Hero!!! I want a really creative name for it. Something having to do with the galaxy. Maybe Venus or something. But I know we'll have the usual stuff like console and what not but I want to do something uber creative with the place. I'll have this summer to come up with stuff.
Oh man I can't wait for summer!!! I know it's a bit of a long way off but still!!! My summer itinery has been planned out: I leave for Dubai a week after school vacates, spend 2 days there, go to Brimignham for the Rotary Convention, then go to London for a few days then take the Eurostar to France and spend about 3 weeks in Paris with Edna, take the Eurostar back to London with Edna this time, back to Dubai and then home sweet Accra!!! Bummer I'm not going to the US though... I don't mind too much...
I'm just recovering from a serious sickness bout. I had karate on Friday and because I hadnt done it in so long, I was aching from head to toe afterwards. Then I had dance practice for entetainment after my SRC meeting until 1am. I woke up Saturday morning and had a sore throat and cough in addition to my aching body. But I was still able to dance for entertainment. We had this rep your country thing and my grade got Jamaica so you can just imagine the kind of dances we had to do. We tied first with the Grade 9's but then there was a fight and a dance battle and they won. I slept for an hour, watched Space Jam and fell asleep again. Woke up tired and still aching Sunday morning with cramps this time. Dozed through church and spent the rest of the day on my bed listening to music and watching The Colbert Report. Monday, still kinda has cramps and still kinda ached but it was ok. Now I'm as fit as a fiddle!!! Oh yeah, I also had a cold the WHOLE weekend too!!!
I'm really upset that I can't go for my half-sis's wedding thiss weekend. I havent seen her in almost 2 years and she doesnt reply to my emails!!! Gosh!! My dad left (or is leaving) today for the wedding in Utah. My mum isnt going but mu uncle and a few of my dad's friends are. They better take pictures so I can see them when I go for my IB exeat.
Lacuna Coil's new album Shallow Life is in stores now!!!! Can't wait to get it from iTunes!!!!!

The Starbucks Dream- I'm gonna add caramel to it for you, is it ok?

Listening to: Make me wanna pray by Christina Aguilera
On the phone with: Jeani
Just finished: eating fufu and palmnut soup (a traditional Ghanaian dish)

The sun is a beautiful thing. I had a epiphany while I was at the mall today. The summer is almost over and I hardly had any sun time. So when I got back home, I grabbed a chair, starchild, Microserfs by Douglas Coupland and my phone -ultimatepwnage- and I now have the sun in my face!!


And today too, I lived out a fantasy I had been dreaming about for some time. Lemme explain- I love coffee shops. Starbucks and the like. So I have this fanatsy of sitting in a coffee shop with a book or laptop with a cappucino (or whatever caffeine thing. I'm not really big on caffeine... yet)
Caitlin had to do her hair so my mum suggested the salon in the mall cause she hears the peole are quite good. So we dropped Caitlin at the salon, my mum went off to do grocery shopping (cause I'm uber skinny right now and I need to gain some weight before school starts or my friends will think I was anorexic over the summer) and i made my way to the coffee shop at the food court

But my fantasy was derailed...

Today, a large group of people were advertising a debit card which I thought was quite cool. While walking through the mall, I was asked twice to sign up. I declined both times. The third time was when I had left Caitlin in the salon and was making my way to the food court. This lady came up to me and practically dragged me to a seat and asked me to sign up. I told her my student ID had expired and my exam candidate number was different from the normal Ghanaian candidate number. She said no worries and the next thing I knew, I had an e-zwich debit card with the Ghana Commercial Bank logo on it. If I had known, I would have signed up and gotten one with the Standard Chartered logo. My mum was a bit upset (not at the fact that i got a card, the fact that the GCB logo was on it. She works at Standard Chartered :-D)
Either way, the card is quite cool. And most of the shops in the mall support the software anyway. So it was a bit of a win-win thing. Except the GCB logo. I still have some Guitar Hero III stickers. I'll use a few to cover it up...

And finally, Sedi lives out a fantasy!! ^_^

I get to the coffee shop like 20 minutes later and order a cinnamon twist with a vanilla milkshake. While waiting, i curled up in a corner and read Microserfs. I wasn't on cloud nine though, maybe cloud 6.5.

So that's been my day so far. Later on, I'll play Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl after my numerous guests who are currently at my house right now leave. Tonight, I have my room to myself!! I'm so excited!!

(The Daily Show Global Edition at 9:30!! I missed the 2:30 airing...)

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...
