15/365: resolved
Well, I don’t really know if everything’s been resolved, but for the time being, they have been. My bio quiz didn’t go as horrible as I’d thought it would have, and it turns out I actually learnt something by writing out notes and reading the textbook. Who wouldn’t have know? I also never knew non-parallel and anti-parallel meant the same thing - whoops, that’s one question wrong. But all in all, not as bad as I thought it’d be.
The remainder of today consisted of the graduation rehearsal, in which, my friend and I sat and talked about whatever came to our minds. Honestly, our conversations were just so random. I don’t even know where they came from. It was very entertaining though, and made that 40 minutes more bearable. I did miss calculus though, which I really wish I didn’t. Not because I love calc or anything, but because the other class my teacher has is now ahead of us, and we’re expected to go onto D2L and copy out the rest of the lesson. That is definitely not going to happen.
The rest of my school day was mostly yearbook signing, and while I really don’t have that many people to ask to sign my yearbook, I’m still so tempted to read everybody’s messages. I’m excited.
So anyway, since I’ve gotten home..I’ve signed 1/3 of my friends yearbook, made a fruit salad, practiced my makeup look for grad (which I still have not perfected), washed everything off, eaten that fruit salad + carrot sticks, researched laptops and cameras, and now, I’ve opened my textbook. I have drained my phone battery, yet again.
Tomorrow I will be going to biology to check over my quiz, and the 17.1/17.2 quiz for 20 minutes. Then my mom is taking me to market to do some clothing exchanges, last minute shopping - clutch, possible new flats, but maybe not, and Sephora hauling for her. Then back to school for English and Calc, which will be followed by grad gown pick up. Yay?
Just by the way, my picture today is my alarm system. It goes all the way up to 8:30, because even though tutorial starts at 8:15, and class starts at 8:45, I have woken up at 8:30 before. I find it impossible to wake up without at least 5 alarms every other morning, so this is just in case. I also suppose this is a bit inaccurate, since I only turn it on from 5:45 onwards on a daily basis… but either way…I lack sleep, or I just love it too much.
14/365: misunderstood
I am angry, for no good reason..or maybe there is reason for it. I think this time, it’s even legitimate.
Apart from that, my day was alright. Calculus was not bad, and while I was pretty confused with this method of anti-deriving (if that’s even a correct term) - integration, I think I understand it now. Let’s see if I can pull off not doing any homework for this unit.
In English, we were given 80 minutes to read a 16 page short story, and I’d already read it on Friday. I basically sat there talking to those around me, and contemplated leaving. I couldn’t though, because as I had this conversation today, I actually quite like my teacher.
During lunch, we were all just signing yearbooks. We continuously scrambled for pens, and struggled with simple vocabulary to fill the pages. It was somewhat enjoyable, but honestly, it’s been so stressful, because I don’t want to write a completely meaningless message. It is grade 12, after all, and while many of my friends will be staying at U of C, and in similar programs, there are a few who aren’t.
My first spare consisted of more yearbook signing - well, mostly me sitting and watching those around me sign each other’s yearbooks. I attempted to study biology, which did not exactly give any results. I also managed to look over my 17.2/17.3 quiz, and surprisingly, I did better than I thought. However, I failed the 17.1/17.2 quiz, just as I thought. Whoops. I probably should have looked over the one I did worse on….that would make more sense, right?
My second spare was spent with more bio studying, and complaining. My friend finally got into the math class that we had planned to take together, to ensure that we’d be in the same class. It took a phone call, not too long of a wait on hold, a conversation with a man who seemed to be quite nice (also, a surprise), and some explanations of the situation. But yay, we’re all in the same math class, and I think that’s something to be happy about.
The rest of my day shall be a list:
- pho
- digging nail polish out of my closet
- reading chapter 18.1
- finding out my quiz is not on the entire chapter 18, but 18.1 and 18.2, meaning I have a significantly less amount of work to do tonight. That is definitely something to be happy about too
- exploring Wal-Mart with my dad, and finding cheap things - which has become a tradition every Monday (well, either Wal-Mart or Costco, depending on where my sister would like to go when I’m at piano.)
- buying more fruits and vegetables, so that I snack ‘healthily’
- piano - this Nocturne that I’m learning is one of my all-time favourites, in terms of pieces from the repertoire
- anger
- Superstore, which is very empty on Monday nights (also, a good thing)
- now, biology
I think this 365 challenge has given me an excuse to take pictures of random things I see even more - especially the self-photo thing. At least I’m putting my phone to good use….? That’s horrible reasoning, but either way, my pictures of the day.

I just wasted two hours of what should have been dedicated to chapter 18 of biology - which, to my surprise is ridiculously long, playing around with a straightener. This whole “grad brain” thing seems to be inevitable. This is bad, considering that the biology final on Thursday (the day before grad) is worth 20% of my mark.
13/365: Born and Raised
Today was also quite uneventful. We spent 3 hours looking at appliances, only to calculate a total of $6570 for 5 appliances, and then go to Sunridge. It really wasn’t that bad though, because my sister and I spent those hours - when our dad didn’t need our help reading reviews about cameras. However, now I’m 100% undecided, because I don’t know what I want, or which one I want.
My sister and I took quite a few pictures in the car (of Lucy, I mean), as she kept trying to steal our food. My dog is insane. This morning, we gave her a rib bone, and everytime we took a step towards her, she’d growl. I’ve never seen her do that before..
At Sunridge, my dad bought me the new John Mayer CD - which I was actually quite excited for months ago. I didn’t buy anything else though..which I think is a good thing, in a way. Anyway, I’m now listening to the CD on repeat, while cleaning up my room. My grandpa will be here in a total of 3 and a half days, and my room is a mess. I did get to organizing my scarves though, with this closet organizer I bought in Vancouver’s IKEA. I originally had seen it in one of xteeener’s videos though about how she organizes her accessories. I only bought it because my scarves were taking up an entire drawer of my dresser, and I need more room for clothes.
Well, I’m not really cleaning my room now, because I’m downstairs…and I’m typing a blog post. But I really should start Chapter 18 of biology, because it looks very intimidating. 20%…this unit…really? What do I do if I fail? I guess that’s really worst case scenerio. Or just kidding, that’d be if I fail the diploma. I should probably just aim to not fail at all.
For the rest of tonight, I’ll probably finish some calculus (attempt to, at least), try to start on biology, and finish cleaning up my clothes. I can do this? I think.
But I’ve just thought of another dilemma. I don’t know what colour I’m painting my nails for grad…because I’ve decided to just do my hands myself. My mom insists that I get a pedicure because she doesn’t like my toes. I don’t blame her; my toes are scary, and that just may be too much information. I also don’t have a clutch, or I don’t know what shoes to wear to the ceremony. How am I doing my hair? And I should probably practice my makeup before the day comes.
This is too much stress for something that I honestly did not care too much for a while ago.
I just need to do well on the bio unit test, and the calculus quiz the day before, so that my mood isn’t completely ruined. That is all.
