This Is An S.O.S, Save Me From This Island Of Stress!

Who knew school could cause so much stress? My god, I feel like I'm going to get an ulcer or something. Math and Science are the MOST stressful.


I'm having a bit of a difficult time with math you see. There are just some things about it that I don't understand. Like on the tests, you have to round everything to a certain number, and never on the assignments. And who's ever going to use trigonometry or long algebra in real life cases? I mean, hello! I'm not planning on becomming an accountant or a scientist when I am older.


And science? Well, some parts of it just piss me off. Like how we just HAVE to have a quiz everyday on stuff we learnt a minute ago. I've been preparing for these exams for a while now. I'm not failing either one of the courses, but they just make me so stressed out and frusterated! I'm still having trouble with Chemistry! All of the balancing of equations and complicated formulas .... thank god my friend knows what she's doing when it comes to Chemistry so she's tutoring me on that unit.


Other than those two horrific subjects, I'm doing quite grand in English, Media Arts, P.E and Planning. And I haven't been able to take a breather yet - and the only time I'm going to be able to stop and catch my breath is when school is over and my exams are done with. Right now, I feel like going for a nice bike ride down the road ... or maybe I feel like lying in my bed and falling asleep while watching a " Harry Potter, " or " Lord Of The Rings," movie. Will the summer EVER get here? I need someone to save me from this deserted island called "Stress!" This is an S.O.S.

So Many Things To Accomplish Within Two Months!

Today after school, during the car ride home I started to think, now that school is almost out for the summer, what things do I wants to accomplish this summer?.... so I would like to share my list of things that I would like to accomplish this summer! First off, I want to accomplish having the BEST summer of all time! Secondly, I would like to try to spend a full week at my best friend's house ( we did this last summer - awesome memories, except for the horrid sun burn! XP ) and have as many sleepovers as I possibly can with my friends. Third, I would like to at least hang out with the guy I really really like two or three times or even more (maybe the mall, movies, a little fun competitve game of mini-golf ... :P). Next, I would really like to make mine and my best friend's last year attending summer camp the GREATEST week of summer camp ever ( although last year was totally awesome! ). At this moment as I am eating a Kool-Aid Banana Freezie I am thinking " My god, I'm so done with school and totally ready for summer!"

Long-Distance Friend, Lakeside Tanning and Weekend - Oh My!

What a great day! Not only did I have a fantastic, relaxing time tanning away at the Lake after school but a friend who I haven't talked to in about a year posted a message on my Facebook profile. So I decided to call her, she was so surprised! She was a really great friend to me in 8th grade but then she had to move to a big busy city an hour away from our little farm town. We were on the phone chatting for at least an hour and a half - about how Adam Lambert should've won, final exams, bringing the good memories back in mind from 8th grade, our summer plans and more. I hope to see her this summer before she goes back to Korea for the summer! Thank god it's the weekend! I've been working real hard, studying for final exams and just long tiring days in classes - not to mention the insanely 30 degree weather dosen't makes everything better, but I can't complain :P. I've got two days to rest up and to enjoy the summer sun! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, until next time

"It's A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood..."

Yet, another beautiful hot day has come and gone. It's fairly rainy and cold all winter and spring here in British Columbia, so once we all feel the hot rays of sun upon our backs we all try to take advantage of the outside as much as possible. I saw the musical "Les Miserables" the other day with my English Honors class and thought it was amazing! The singing and acting was rather phenominal. Although the hour ride in and out of Vancouver was rather hot it was all worth it! Don't you just hate it when you run out of things to talk about with your friends on a long bus drive? We were looking at the beautiful houses as the bus drove through the rich part of Vancouver and started to talk about what colour our house doors were ...... you know you're bored when..Lol! It got to about 30 degrees outide today, lovely! And I'm not being sarcastic either ^_^. If it is like this tomorrow I think I'll take a trip down to the lake ....... until then I'll leave you with a little song that is currently stuck in my head:



~The Campfire song song~

"Lets sit around the campfire,

And sing a camping song!

Our c-a-m-p-f-i-r-e-s-o-n-g song!

And if you don't think that we can sing it faster,

then you're wrong.

It'll help if you just sing alooooonnngggg.....

.....duum,duuuum,duuuuuuuuum!"



=D Cheers! Ariel
