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?

Tawana, for some unexplainable reason, you're my fave housemate right now!!!

Quite liking: My Boxman for President dance-off entry

Finding the energy to: Learn Chemistry. Mid-term test coming soon...

Thinking about: The French essay I haven't finished which is due first thing Monday morning...

Busy week the past one's been. I can't remember what I did last Saturday but the day was quite dead. Or Sunday. I know I went to church...

But I remember what happened during the week. I had lunch with Ewuradjoa, my friend from middle school. She's done with high school and is working on her college applications and SAT. She wants to go to Yale I think. She also told me that most of of our friends are all leaving the country for university. Mostly to the US, a few to Canada. Really makes me feel small. I have another 2 years...

Jeani and her sis Steffi came over on Tuesday. I got them hooked on Guitar Hero (after I intmidated them with my awesome skills on Closer-Medium). Yasmin came over on Wednesday. We just hung out watching BBA and a Rowan Atkinson video she had. I spent most of Thursday sleeping cause I stayed up to watch the presidential debate (JOE THE PLUMBER!!!) but I went over to Katakyie's house when he was done with school. He's writing PSAT today. He's getting me started on Avatar. H e gave me the first 6 episodes of Book 1 and I'm gonna get rest today. I watch part of episode 1 yesterday. It's quite good. Oh, yesterday...

Erika came over impromptu. We talked for like the longest time imaginable about the people in school. Then we went to the mall cause Eli and I had school shopping to do and we picked Yasmin up cause her house is close and it was a hot day. She didn't want to walk. When we were done, Eli went for her confirmation class (She and our cousin Jimand are getting confirmed tomorrow) and I got ready for the Korean dance. Not like a dance party. The Korean Embassy organized a performance on Korean culture. The Korean in our school put posters up to advertise. Jeani said she wanted to go cause since the Olympics she's really fascinated with the Asian culture. She even asked me to give her my J-pop songs. Her iPod is now infected with Ayumi Hamasaki...

Jeani came to pick me up when she was done with MUN at school (Her commitee's boring but I love the stuff she's written so far. She's a press member and is writing her stuff Gossip Girl style!) Yea-young was soo excited to see us!! I think her fear was that no one from school would show up. We got there really early so we spent like 30 or so minutes trying to find good seats. Erika and her bro Ellis came too and we ended up sitting upstairs. It was a good show. I loved the fan dance. It was really prettyful!!! lol. And I almost ran into my old art teacher las night. Good thing I didn't...

Today's another dead Saturday. I'm home alone right now. Eli's gone to get a fake doctor's note, my dad's playing squash and my mum's doing her usual Saturday morning errands. And I have no idea what I'm doing for the rest of the day. 

SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!

...which reminds me, I gotta work on my Halloween costume...

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!!

Happy (late!) birthday Jeani!!

Hey JT!!

Yeah I know, your birthday was yesterday... But we had fun, no? The 10 million videos we took... lol. Too bad we couldn't have our kaba photo shoot v.v

OK, anywhoo, I can't believe your finally 17!! OMG you are such a baby! Don't worry, I'll pick you up one of these days... when I get my license!! (Next year when I hit 18!!)

I miss our Mission Impossibles from last semester!!

I just wanted to say that you've been an uber awesome friend. You've always been there for me and tolerated me on my worst days. I honestly can't imagine life without you... *doesn't think about*

You really laughed at me the time when I called you about the security guard...

But no worries, JT cause we'll be together for the rest of our natural existence, whether you like it our yes!

Our college road trip thing is still on. Vegas, here we come!!!

Just remember one important factor in life-  I will always be there for you. Though I may not  show it openly, I always will be, okey dokey smokey???

 Remember last semester with the person in grade 10? You really helped me through that!!

LUV YA LOADZ!!! xxx

Noda noda noda!!!

But you're still a n00b!!

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...
