Oh no! I’m doing triple posts now, I so need to get back on track with my blog, it’s just that lately I don’t have a lot of time on my hands and I try to make the best of what I have, which unfortunately is nothing. But in the end there’s an excuse behind every forgotten entry in the past two days.
So how about we start talking about Saturday, if I can even recall what happened on that day since it seems so distant in my mind. Right, now I remember, it was the day on which I was stressing out intensively since I was going to visit my friends house for the first time…meaning that I had to meet her mom. I really wanted to make a good, lasting first impression which is the cause of my high level of stress. I was to meet her at 1:00 p.m. at her house; in that case I needed to leave home at like 12:00. Before leaving my mom invited my grandmother to take part into the trip since they were going to go do some shopping in the mean while. As a person who likes to stay home in his stuff, I rarely adventure myself in that part of the city so her address was unknown to me. To avoid getting lost we decided to use the very useful GPS. As we drew closer and closer to her house I could see the marker on the system signalling that I was 300 metres, 200 metres, 100 metres from destination…I was at my destination. It was a really quiet and charming neighbour hood and to my surprise my stress started to fade away and we really got down to business…when I say business I mean our French project…duh. We had until 4:30 to finish our oral presentation’s visual aid. Time flew by so quickly, we talked, we laughed, we worked…but best of all we had fun…and we got everything done! I really didn’t want to leave, I felt as if things were really starting to go well and then BYE! Ah well, I was stuck in the back of the car with a huge poster that measured the whole width of the vehicle. Stupid me…for a second I forgot that we had a trunk! So we stopped at the grocery store and placed the huge poster in the trunk so I could have the whole back seat to myself. My mom needed to be home early since we were receiving some guests over for the evening. We got home at like 6:00 but turns out that the guests only showed up at 8:45. Either way I barely saw them, excluding the part where we needed to give them a tour of the house. At 9:00 I decided to call my friend up to start practicing for our oral presentation. Everything went well; we knew our lines almost perfectly. The funny part is that we practiced once and then we basically started to talk endlessly. After a while, if I do remember it was 10:00, I was like “We’ve been talking for so long!” I thought that hours had gone by but in reality it was less than an hour. So I said as a joke “Imagine if we could talk until midnight”. Surely what I said became reality become my mother came to check on me at almost 2:00 in the morning and I was still talking on the phone. In the end we needed to force each other to hang up to get some sleep; we talked for more than 4 hours! Later on I fell asleep after a short session of text messaging.

Yep, all our hard work and effort will sure payoff...

Next up was Sunday! Or maybe I should say “Sunday…”because there was absolutely NOTHING to do. Like the temperature was perfect and all but I didn’t even bother going outside. I stayed in the solarium all day and worked on my oral presentation, at least I got to bathe in the “sun”…through a window…So the only highlight of my day was when I was downstairs playing on my XBOX 360 when my mom called my up franticly. I searched franticly for her and found her in my room, gazing outside at the front yard. I got closer and noticed that we had visitors on our lawn…birds…mighty big birds. It’s what they call wild turkeys, and they’re HUGE! Like they are so scary looking. This time we only had 3 but last year during the winter time we had 14 in our backyard!
MOM! I've found supper!

Last but not least, super boring Monday! I came to consent with my friend that we were to meet at school today for 8:00 since we needed practice for our French oral presentation, which was due for today. When I got up I noticed that my mom wasn’t out of bed. So I went to check on her when she announced that she would be staying home today! Neither my mom nor my dad was going to work since they had to take some advance on the renovations in the garage. My dad took care of my carpool by getting my mom’s friend to pick me up to get me to school. As I stood in the kitchen, starring impatiently at the clock I asked my father at what time she was going to pick me up. He innocently told me at 7:30. I was supposed to get to school at 8:00 and I live and hour from the city. So I asked my dad to desperately drive me to school and we made it in 40 minutes, although my friend was nowhere to be seen until she arrived at 8:30 do to massive traffic jams. We practiced anyways and we were ready to get this over with once and for all. Class went on like normally, I got my History test back with a mark of B+. Like what the hell! I studied so hard for that test and the guy doesn’t seem to see the effort put in it! Anyways, if I told him I was in the gifted program he would probably bump up my grade…but right now I don’t care…at all. French was also that morning, we were to present today…although we DIDN’T! I was kind of mad but kind of relieved, mad because we were ready to present and happy because we had another day to practice.
Random sidewalck "art" during lunch...vandalism!
-Now here I am, tonight. I got home and helped my dad for a bit in the garage by installing these trusts on the ceiling. I was so dusty. Now it’s raining like a lot, I’m kind or relieved that it is because we were having non-stop sunshine lately and it kind of made me sick. Oh and here almost everybody lost their electricity, like our road is one of the few that still has power. So my freezing grandma came here for the evening in search of “shelter” since her house was near freezing point. Anyways, I’m about to head to bed…tomorrow is a new day. See ya.
