I haven’t been posting blogs for a long time. I’d say --- as my excuse --- I was quite busy studying for final exams. Yeah, by the way, I got pretty well on my final exams. French wasn’t as good as I expected. Math, I did great comparing to the others, but not perfect for my dear mother’s request. I did pretty good in Science, and English. What really surprised me was my Social Studies’ mark. I got a crazy 94%! Woah yeah! My Social teacher, Ms. Morris said I got one of the highest marks in the whole grade! Well, one of the highest. Haha, good enough actually. My score proves effort create miracles, because I studied so hard for Socials. I’m glad and proud. However, to God --- Jesus Christ --- be the glory! Praise the Lord.
Time passed really fast actually. My Grade 7 life is finished. Next year is Grade 8! Oh my Gosh, how did it all happen? It feels like a miracle right now. I’m terribly happy, and I can’t even describe what it feels like. Well, I just wish with my whole heart that summer wouldn’t pass as fast as the school year. Nah, don’t wanna bother putting my hope too high, because I knew it’s going to be like, shoo, in a heartbeat, and I’m back in school in Canada. Sad life… okay, I’m only joking. With the truth…
School ended on the 14th of June. I am now on the plane going to Tokyo, Japan from Vancouver, Canada. This wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Time surprisingly passed fast. Listening to music and reading books is always one of the best ways to make boring moments pass faster. Especially listening to music works the most, because a song is approximately four to five minutes, and listening to twelve to fifteen songs. It’s not so bad. Just always remember to download a bunch of new songs before going onto a plane. Old songs bored me and I would keep switching songs before they even finish. ;) I’m in business class, and thanks to my dad. It’s awesome: food is great, and the servers are super nice. J By the way, it’s Japanese Airline. Again, it’s great. J You think I’m making ads and doing a good job for Japanese Airline? Eh, yeah, totally, if you can even imagine that…
I’m super excited, like I was when I was in the Vancouver Airport waiting to get on board. I tried to sleep twice --- half lying half seating in the comfortable seat --- but I just couldn’t. To be honest, I don’t even know why I’m this excited. It’s strange right? Probably it’s that I’m looking forward to go shopping? Then I can get onto another cool plane? Then I get to Shanghai? Then I can get used to the time difference (which I actually do look forward to)? Then I can get my gorgeous TOMS shoes which we bought on TaoBao.com? Oh yeah. I believe that’s the reason. I remembered now --- thanks to the shoes we ordered, I kept on getting distracted and all excited when I almost fell asleep. Yup, good job, I found the reason to be all happy and excited. J
After arriving in Japan, we’re going to spend four hours shopping while waiting for the plane to Shanghai. Shopping! I wish I could have enough energy for the next four hours. It’s really weird how the four hours seemed so short when I was at home in Canada. I was confident and prepared. However, now, it sounds like eternity. Which kind of freaks me out actually.
I planned my daily activity one week ago, as my mother told me to, as well as my goals. Pretty much what I’m going to do in China are probably just: guitar lessons: yay, basketball practices: yay, blogs: cool, Bible studying: okay, Math tutorial: whatever, and shopping: yay! Right, one more, I’m getting my TOMS shoes! What I’m going to do is pray and hope that they’re my size.
Well, my goals for this month are:
1. Finish the Bible: the New Testament
2. Play basketball for more than four hours per week
3. Write at least two blogs per week – that’s 8 for this whole month
4. Weigh lesser than forty-three KG when I get back to Vancouver (I’m now about forty-four KG)
5. Know how to play F on guitar
6. Play piano every day – at least open it and touch one key
7. Read more than three books
8. Run on the running machine or on the trail at least once a week for at least thirty minutes
Okay, that’s it. I wish I had an awesome full of joy, of God’s word, of sweat, of music, of knowledge and of unhealthy but tasty food. J I wish you, who are reading my blog --- probably Mom and Dad, a great summer as well, full of screams and laughter of your children, of clothing you bought online, of air conditioner, of shades under the hot sun, of relatives asking about Canada, of never ending business and of the happiness summer brings. J Thanks for reading my blogs, for the clothes you got for me, for taking me back to China for the summer, for buying business class tickets (again), for allowing me to bring my guitar, for choosing a tutor for me, and for all the other things I didn’t mention. I really appreciate the decisions you made and thank you for everything. Anyway, have a great summer!
