Do You Remember

I Didn't Forget Again!...Kinda =S

Well, I actually remembered! It might not sound like it, but lemme explain: Friday was wayyy too exhausting to blog anything, Saturday was my dad's b-day party, so there wasn't any chance to get on the comp. Sunday is just... Sunday o.o It always feels all dark and gloomy (which it really was), so I left it til today!

Now, about Gr 9 day... It was one heck of a day o.o I'll try to tell the whole day as I remember it (Every freaking detail! XD). The days before, my home form was rehearsing for this 2 minute cheer that we're supposed to do and the winner gets this 10 pound reward of candy O.O Now, everyone in our class wanted it REAL bad, so we worked extra hard (In my opinion) to win it. Now, I'm pretty sure we would've won it if it weren't for some minor *Coughcough* setbacks. Luckily, we got points since everyone was wearing the colour they were supposed to. I came a bit early to school just to rehearse my part for the cheer (Which involved me dancing up on stage in front of ALL the Gr 9s! How scary =S). Even if it was only under 10 seconds, I was SURE it was gonna be one scary moment. Luckily, some of my friends were early to school and came to watch me. They said I was gonna do fine... Yeah right -.- When everyone arrived, our class went and rehearsed for a whole hour. From there, I got to learn where to change my routine and what to keep.

After that, we headed towards to the auditorium to watch the various councils perform skits and try to recruit new Gr 9s as their reps. During this one boring skit, I bothered to look at all the other Gr 9s; THERE WERE SO MANY! I started panicking as I always do; I've never actually done some solo performance in front of so many people. I was also kinda nervous that I'd mess up on stage and everyone would remember it for the rest of the school year XD I kept thinking that for the rest of the auditorium, and didn't even realize that everyone was heading outside to go get free pizza XD.

Apparently, it was freezing cold, but I wore an undershirt, so I was actually kinda sweaty (Well, I DID say it was every freaking detail, didn't I?) o.o The Athletic Council in charge of Gr 9 day made the classes line up in order of how loud they could scream out their home form; obviously my class would be first, since we're an all guys class (Imagine how manly it'd sound! XD). Sadly, the pizza was cold and each person only got a slice, so it wasn't very fulfilling -.-

Right after lunch, each class split into 2 groups and we did some competitive activities. I'll only mention the highlights since there were too many. We (Obviously) won against the other classes in tug-of-war. I mean, we literally took them to the floor (Wow, that sounds so cheesy and makes no sense, kinda o.o) !

In this one game where you had to spin in a circle with your head on a bat, we got owned by the all girls class -.- Why, you ask? Since one of our teammates *AHEM* decided he was too dizzy after 2 spins (And not like everyone who was doing 8), clutched his head and started moaning. I think half their team went by as he was holding his head. I swear, what a pussy (Normally, I don't use this much, but just for the one occasion XD) I mean, I did 16!!! You know how dizzy THAT gets?! The guy in charge thought my head wasn't on the bat and made me do another 8 o.- Right after that, I apparently "jump over one guy and nearly fell on another". You should try it sometime and know the feeling XD

So, after the activities, we headed back inside to the auditorium to start the class cheers! XD Now, all this pressure was building up in the room since everyone wanted to beat the other classes they lost to in the activities; for me, it was just to beat the other girls class. Since my class is 1L, it took a while for us to go. I was shaking when the first few classes went, but then watching them perform, it was like "Wow, even if I fail everything, I'll still look good XD". I mean, half of the classes made up their cheers last minutely, so I started to feel a LOT better... until I got onto the stage -.- As our music came on, it wasn't bad at all, cause the crowd started cheering instead of booing, like they did with every other class. Now, after the guy who did the worm in my class, I had this urge to do well and beat him. Seeing as my gym teacher and I were the only 2 to do b-boying onstage, it felt really good. Even before I got on the floor to start my footwork, everyone was all cheering and wooing, so it was allll good =)

Sadly, our class only won the Loudest Class award, while this other class won the candy -.- Sucks cause we don't get another chance to compete against them (I think). Either way, the stick with a Pikachu ball on top that our class won suck, I guess it goes to show that an all guys class really can be loud o.o

While I was heading to my locker, some friends of mine started saying how I was all crunched up and nervous in the beginning (Which I was) until the end where it looked real good. I sooo agree with them, and complimented their class, even though I wasn't really paying attention o.o

I went to this school dance with a friend just to see how good it was, but ended up staying til 5 o.o The music was SOOOO DAMN LOUD! Where the speakers was, no one stood there; they all crowded in the back. There were a few ciphers that people started, and I joined in one to get my butt kicked XD Guess I'll have to get better if I wanna join in next time =) Right after we left, I swear I was partially deaf o.o Me and my friend kept having to go "WHATTT?!" to each other to hear something like a whisper.

All in all, it was a very interesting day! I kinda hope for one like that in Gr 10, but I really doubt it. Well, there's my every single detail of a freaking long blog post for you people who wanted to read about it. Until then! =)

Forgotten Again -.-

Ok, honestly, I SWEAR I posted sometime in September! I mean it! =O Well, guess I hafta post then. I hope this one isn't excessively long cause I got a LOTTA homework to do and I just got back from the dentist's an hour ago (Yay for orange braces! =D).

So, high school started a while ago, and I'm freaking out o.o I don't think I've ever done so before, but you people are the first people to know. High school can sure be one freaky place for many reasons. ACI turned out to be freakishly big, and I was late every class for the first week. Luckily, they didn't really mark the Gr 9s late that week, so I was safe =D Now, I'm not always the quiet loner person, but I dunno why, I just felt really quiet that whole week. But, I've made quite a bit, so Imma safe for now. So far, I "need support" in English, says this diagnostic that everyone else failed (In an Academic class). I think Geo's the only one EXTREMELY boring class that I'll hate for the rest of my Gr 9 year. I came late every class, so I got stuck sitting with the "other" people. That class is just hard to describe... I guess I just don't fit in with anyone there =S.

SOOOO... Gr. 9 day's coming up, and it's just a day where we do nothing but skip class and play games. The catch, is that each home form has to do a cheer about 2 mins long. The winning class gets some sort of "cool" prize. Sadly, my home form is all guys, so our cheer is gonna sound so manly. I heard from last year that the all guys class went "WE'RE 1N! WE'RE ALL MEN! WOOOOO!!!!". Seriously, I don't wanna be the guy up there doing that. Luckily, our gym teacher proposed we do a dance instead, which is perfectly fine with me. Surprisingly, his main reason was that he won the last 2 years by dancing instead of cheering. How so? MY GYM TEACHER CAN BREAK-DANCE. THAT'S SO COOL!!! =D So, we're gonna do this dance where he comes on stage and does a dance. I'm still considering to ask if I can battle him onstage or something, but doing it in front of ALL the Gr. 9s... Suggestions? =D

Oh and, I had this really embarrassing moment in music class. Our music teacher likes to pick certain people to play songs (Eg. people with white shoes). He just HAPPENED to chose people born in May, June, July and August. Ends up, I'm the ONLY one playing. Now, that is just SAD cause, WHAT'RE THE CHANCES OF THAT?! Even worse, I suck at flute altogether, so it was just a fail performance =D

Anyways, I don't think I have anything else on my mind, and HOPEFULLY, I'll remember to post sometime after Gr 9 day. Until then! =)
