it’s my birthday

YESSS, it’s my birthday! I’m 13! Surprisingly, I actually got quite a number of gifts from my friends and family. A list would look like this:

  1. A whole bunch of CHOCOLATE (like 4 bars)(lol)
  2. A fancy water-resistant, sports watch (sparkly!!)
  3. Some money (idk, man)
  4. A ladybug themed cup/goblet/bowl-ish container (woah)
  5. A Starbucks card
  6. A hilarious notebook (no, really.)
  7. A lot of cards
  8. Two drawings of cakes by my cute baaaby brother in kindergarten!!!
  9. Three bags/packages of junk food/deep-fried stuff. (;P)
  10. A CHOCOLATE cupcake with caramel icing on the top with SPRINKLES (yum!)
  11. A bouquet of flowers made of tissue paper, a ribbon, and some sticks. (wow)

That’s actually quite a list. Another thing my friends did was decorate my locker. It was covered with gift wrapping paper with HAPPY BIRTHDAY all over it. And green streamers. And sticky notes with some messages on them. At the end of the school day, I took it down CAREFULLY and brought it home. Dinner was great. THANKS MOM and DAAD. Well then, see y’all!

faaaill

Why is it OCTOBER all ready? Why is it that I am already a week into October? I’m so confused man. Like, about everything. I’ve adjusted to school, I guess. I think I’m still uneasy about a few things. Like what I should do with the extra time in the morning, since I arrive at school pretty early. Or when I should arrive to the class after lunch. That’s not really a worry, but I just don’t like to loiter around it or be late.

Gabey is going to school too!! I saw his first day of school picture my mom took, and he is so cuuute. I also visited him once on a Pro-D, and he’s so cuuute. He tried to introduce me to some of his classmates, but a lot of the grade ones knew me. He’s really good at concentrating, but he rushes a few things. He’s so cute!

I got a student identification card thing. It’s really flimsy. Woah. I just noticed the time. I should probably get going. Well then, maybe until Thanksgiving? See ya!

Beat

Tomorrow is a Pro-D Day for secondary students, but not for elementary students. That means I can visit my little brother!! I really want to see my little, tiny, little brother communicate with kids his age, and in class listening or whatever else kindergartners do. It seems so cute. Oh my. Also, I plan on checking in on some classmates from the years before. With my sister. I think. I don’t know, it depends on when we decide to get up tomorrow. Haha.

I haven’t written something fictional on this blog in a while and posted it. I’m thinking of something… Well, for now. Unless I’m studying for my English test next week. And finishing Socials. And doing something that I can’t quite remember right now. Yippee. Work to do. And I was complaining over the summer break about having no work. Wow. I really regret saying stuff like that. Ha. Alright, I should probably to something more interesting. So, I’ll get going! See ya, until I write something and decide to post it on my blog!

Some Preparations

Well, I have apparently survived the first three days of high school. I succeeded in getting lost less than three times without a map of the school. I got lost 2 times. Many of my friends had maps, but I just left my map at home. I think I can figure it out by the end of September. Or this week. I think I did pretty good despite my cold that I caught the day before school started. I’m still pretty sick, so I skipped ping pong today. Anyways, HAPPIER news… Tomorrow is my friend’s birthday. I made a card, but I have yet to find a suitable gift. I’ve got to go, because there is school tomorrow. See ya!

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!

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.

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
