(I'M BACK DREAMERS!!!)
HEY EVERYONE!!! It�s been a long time hasn�t it, almost 3 months since I have blogged!! I�m sorry it took me so long to blog, it�s just from my last blog basically, I never had any motivation to blog whatsoever. I was planning on doing it on numerous occasions in June, just mention that I may be going on a short hiatus or something, but I wasn�t even motivated to do that�lol. Anyways the summer is almost over, and I guess I thought about just filling you in on some of summer doings or at least my happenings since my last blog�lol.
Well, In June I finished up my exams, and I was excited to finally start my summer holiday. I mentioned this before, but I decided to go to summer school and do a course, one year ahead just so I have it done and out of the way, so I could lessen my course load for the year to come. I did grade 11 English with Rach, Jill, Sarah, Camille, Mariana and many other students in my grade that go to my school. I started off in the same class as my friends but I ended up getting transferred to the other grade 11 English class, since our class had too many students. Out of my group of good friends though, I was the only one that got transferred, at first I was very disappointed about it but I actually got to really like it instead of the other class, since the teacher I got was nicer than my other teacher. It would have been cool of my friends could have joined me. I got to talking to Michelle a bit more, since her group of friends were in the other class, so that was pretty cool. I also got to talking to 2 others from my school that I never really spoke to on a regular basis and one that�s in my, what you all call �homeroom� class, so we we already knew each other and spoke on a regular basis. School only lasted for like 3 weeks and then it was over. I�m glad I chose to go, cuz I finished a whole course in like 3 weeks, so one course down oh yea�lol. Well actually, my birthday is July 5th, so this was the first time I actually spent my birthday in school. Insane isn�t it. Yea I prefer not too�lol. Well when summer school was over I was actually quite thrilled, no more waking up extra early anymore, and Summer Holiday was finally starting.
My cousins came to visit from overseas. I saw 2 of them like 2 years ago around the same time, and the other 2 I saw 6 years ago, but I didn�t really remember them, well one of them that well. It was kind of awkward at first, but we definitely got use to each other and had loads and loads of fun. Amusement Parks, Shopping, Movies, Niagara Falls, Caribana and obviously some of the tourist stuff, since they were technically tourists as well�lol. But yea it was awesome and we enjoyed each others company, it�s going to be really cool when I visit them during Christmas vacation, and even better basically all my relatives live overseas so it well be cool for us all to come together and see what happens. Allegedly, I will end up meeting some cousins I never met before, nevermind that, cousins I never knew I had, oh joy eh..lol.
Summer is not only about family though, Nisha had her umm�I�m pretty sure I will spell it wrong, but it�s a dance recital/graduation. And it was on her birthday, which was even more special. Jill and I went to Rach�s house to get ourselves ready. When we got there we met Sarah, as well as Camille and Mariana and Melanie and Mich�le as well as many other from our school. We all looked awesome, we clean up very nicely�.lol. Nisha�s dancing was awesome, oh my gosh, she looked soooooo pretty in her Indian outfit. This other girl was performing too, but I�m not being biased cuz Nisha is my friend, but she was better than the other girl by far. She really did amazing, Great way for her to finally turn 16 eh? Also Rachel turned sweet 16 in August. We watched Pulse and went for Lunch at this restaurant Jack Astor�s. It was hilarious, cuz we all ordered the same meal�lol. At least we made it easier on the waiter�lol. It was really cool, for all of us to get together again and hang out!! So now we are all 16, and style-en�lol.
This past 2 weeks I guess I can call it somewhat of �downtime� I guess. I�m getting some rooms in the house renovated, and my room is one of them. Actually, I�m going to be switching rooms as well, so yea I�ll be very excited when it�s all over. I have hardwood floors in my room, well technically I always had them but carpet was over it, so the carpet was taken up the floors were sanded, stained, polished, and the polish smelt horrible�.lol. Anyways, what was left was painting, so Saturday my mom and I went to Home Depot to get paint, and brushes and everything else we needed. It was pretty hilarious because it was semi-obvious that we have never ever painted a room before. So we asked this guy for recommendations, and stuff and coincidentally that guy was like the only worker around all the time, so we ended up asking him basically all our questions. It was pretty funny actually, but he was a great help. So my mom and I started. I have wallpaper on one wall I took it off and I primed it seemed as though it was going well, my mom�s room is wallpapered too, and she was having trouble taking hers off, so she gave up, so instead she called this professional. So he�s going to take off the wallpaper in her room and paint and apparently in my room I should have sanded the wall that the wallpaper was on before I primed it�.lol. So instead he will do both rooms. I was actually a bit excited to paint my own room, but whatever at least I feel confident that my room will turn out nice, since they actually know what they are doing�lol.
Well, school is starting tomorrow, oh joy oh bliss. I cannot believe my summer holiday has basically come to an end. I�m actually going to have to start worrying about school and homework and projects and ugh. Well, I think I basically summarized the majority of my summer, not really in the mood to get into every detail, since I am slowly getting myself into the blogging routine again. Updated a whole bunch of things juts not the layout...lol, look for it. Enjoy yourselves, and whatever is left of your holiday. Later dreamers.
