I’m in America! I’m with my maternal grandparents. Today we leave San Francisco. We have done lots of things in the span of six days. Such as celebrate my grandparents’ birthdays, go on a carousel multiple times, walk to and from the hotel and my grandparents’ house, go to a fancy mall (with interesting escalators), and eat a whole lot. My battery on my phone is a little low and I want to save it for later so, see ya when I get back to my computer!
2nd
Hi. It is quite hot these days. I haven’t complained about work for a while. I like complaining about work because it makes me feel like I have things to do. That might change in the next year, or not, depending on my mood. I think.
The Olympics are interesting to watch, even though I don’t understand the grading/scoring of some of the events. It fun, because I can’t do any of the sports, apart from ping pong, but that’s a whole other level.
Also, school starts in SEVENTEEN days. Whoa. But even that seems faraway because of the trip in 4 days. For 5 days. I might post something. Or not. Anyways, I will go do something useful. Well then, see ya!
Laalalala
There is less than a week until my family and I go to San Francisco. I can’t say I am excited, but I am looking forward to the trip. Every time I go somewhere I try to think positively. This time I will probably be optimistic. There was a time when I didn’t really want to stay after I got there, but I got through it. Yes, Gloria didn’t think about her own thoughts and just did whatever it was a good model child did. But less model like. Hahaaha. Well, these days, all I have been doing is sleep in until it is 12 pm-ish, watch random dramas (sorry y’all), listen to lots of music, read a library book, play Candy Crush (sorry), and go out with my parents and siblings. And play ping pong every week. And overstretch and have super sore legs. Yep. Yippee. It is getting late, so I will end this post here. See you next time I write!
Augustus Gloop
There are two reasons why I called this post ‘Augustus Gloop’. 1) I finished reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to my brother 2) It’s August! My brother is very weird. He thinks that school is exciting. Like maybe the thought of going to school. For a pre-kindergartner it may seem cool, but man, for me, a pre-secondary person, I kind of dread the change in environment. I hate being in an unfamiliar place. Even if I have been there several times before. I probably will adjust to it in like, a year..? I dunno. Maybe. Anyways, I have a dentist appointment in 3 daays. I hate dentists. I just don’t. Then, in the last week of August I go to San Francisco to visit my grandparents. Yippee! Airplanessss. Alright then, see y’all later!
halfway through
It has been almost halfway through Summer Vacation. For me, I have started writing a fictional story (that I will probably throw away after), I have started those “Complete Canadian Curriculum” workbooks. The grade 8 one. I can do most of it. Well, whatever I have gotten to.
I have been spending most of my days with my younger brother. Sometimes I wonder if I am even being a “good” sister. I probably am doing some things wrong. Maybe because I’m stupid. Maybe it’s because I’m Gloria. I have done some really weird thinking. Lots of weird thoughts that progress strangely. Maybe I should think more about my actions. Will that make me smarter? Probably not. But, some more thinking might be required for me to come to a solution.
How come I keep having negative thoughts? Well, not really negative, I guess. But, it seems to me that, most of the time, I can’t seem to make up my mind about anything. I keep waiting for things to change on their own. Especially when it comes to myself. I feel that I don’t even know what it takes to be myself. Not what it takes, but what it is. See? I don’t even know what I am talking about. Well, I should really do some thinking so that people don’t just call me stupid, or ‘dumbass’. Until I figure myself out! See ya.
the cut
I got a haircut today. Now, my head is lighter! Also, my hair is thinned and layered. It’s weird. Especially when I tie my hair up in a ponytail. All the curly part of my hair is gone too. I’m back to straight hair. It’s also ticklish at my back. My hair is pretty thick. Yup.
Summer right now, doesn’t really feel like it. I wore long jeans again today. Maybe it’s just me. I don’t know. It’s getting late. Approaching 11:40 pm. Well then, until I have something better to do. See ya!
here’s to nothing
Summer Vacation has started. I am told to find some work to occupy myself with, and I can think of nothing. It definitely does not feel very much like Summer Vacation. It feels like summer, but I don’t feel the relaxing wave of relief of ‘no deadlines’. I feel like I haven’t done much for grade seven, so how is it over now? Even the process of the leaving ceremony seemed like it was for everyone except for me. Everyone else in my grade at my school seemed like they either they couldn’t leave or would like to leave as soon as possible. I don’t think that I fit in either of those sides. Do I not have feelings? It’s not great to leave, I guess, but I’m not exactly sad to be going to high school. I dunno. I think I’m trying to be neutral. Ahaha. Well, I should do something. Until I figure out what to do. See ya!
Levelled Up
Well. I have graduated. That was… well, fast? Or, it feels as if I have accomplished nothing. This reminds me; I was seated next to a fairly emotional girl at my leaving ceremony/assembly-thing, she had tissues, sniffing, and teachers trying to comfort her. I think, perhaps, she was getting all emotional from the thought of entering another “chapter”, or leaving her ‘childhood’ and getting the attention from awards and such. I don’t know, this is just some things that may have led to her wave of emotions. I, on the other hand, as described by my sister, was stone-faced. She said that throughout the principal’s speech, I did not change my cold expression at all. From walking to my spot to until after the speeches, I had not changed my expression. It may sound all weird, but I felt a little relieved, and a little, panicky? Maybe, I felt alone. Most of the time, I like that feeling. At peace, most of the time. But this was a frightening feeling of ‘what do I do now?’ I don’t know if I am overthinking, but I know for sure that I am not scared of next September. I am certain that I am not afraid of high school.
I feel like I should be writing like how I usually do. But I can’t seem to get a hold on that part of me. I don’t know. If I let that part of me go on, ranting, it might start some more… thoughts. There are many unresolved issues. I will probably go now. It is getting late. For now… SUMMER VACATION!
Late June 2016
Yep. Late June. It has arrived. I mean, it started a while ago. But I mean, I actually DID SOMETHING that I was required to do. Like school. A grade. Especially grade seven. To be honest, grade seven was a lot easier than I imagined, but the time when I had 3 to 4 projects at once was not that fun or easy. But after all that, I can say that I’m done! Tomorrow all the 6/7 classes at school are going on a trip to Playland. After the trip, we have Friday as our last normal day of school. Then on the following Monday, the grade sevens will go to a water park, then Tuesday is half-a-normal-day and half a swimming day. Wednesday is grad day. In which I wear a womanly thing. Then in September I go to secondary school and my brother starts school. Whoa. Kindergarten. Wow. Grade Eight. Okay, I’m kidding about grade eight, just about kindergarten. Mainly because my brother will have his own school life. And that’s weird.
Today I have ping pong class after dinner, so I should conserve energy. And I will do just that. Until I finish grade seven (technically I am…)!
nothing has changed at all
Yeah. It is almost halfway through June. How things go by so fast when you’re doing project after project. I haven’t had the chance to write anything on this blog, mainly because I have been researching, taking notes, writing paragraphs, and fretting over presentations. Now, I am less than halfway through my last project; SCIENCE. I should be doing it right now — I am — but, I thought I would complain first and then work hard on it. I have ping pong later. So I should really hurry.
I achieved something! I think I got into some Honours for Grade 8! I believe I got into Art, English, and Math. I think. When our teachers were telling us, I was in a rush, and so I’m starting to doubt. I like to doubt myself. I don’t know. Okay, i should go continue my Science Presentation. Until I get things figured out! ;D
