          I realized that I am going to be an aunt soon. Isn't that weird? Well, I am already an aunt to some people that I've barely seen in my life before. It is all because in my mother's family, her sibling range ranges from a huge variety. I am not too sure but there might be at least 15 years difference between the oldest and the youngest sibling. So, basically, I am an aunt to another kid my age. Isn't that interesting and weird? That is not the weirdest part. The weirdest part is to be called "aunt" by another kid of the same age. Haha...how weird...However, as far as I can remember, I don't remember them at all...which is kind of sad...Also, today is so hot hot hot! It is burning hot! After raining for like a week, the weather is hot. I don't know whether I'll prefer it to be hot or for it to rain. I think I will prefer it to be hot since when it rains, it's kind of dangerous.

          Today is such an interesting day. Today, at 10 in the morning, me and my brother had violin class. For the first 50 minute, my brother played and the next 50 minutes, I played and meanwhile, my father who dropped us at the place went shopping at Big City. After class, me and my brother stood outside of the class and waited and waited. We phoned our father and he said he is coming to pick us. Ten minutes passed, no one. Then, twenty minutes passed and still no one. Then, forty minutes passed and still no one came. Then, I phoned again but before I can dial the number, my mom phoned. She told us that she is coming to pick us up and not dad since the car my father drove got pulled away by a pickup since my father parked at the wrong place. However, my father claims that he parked at the right place. Well, after waiting for 1 whole hour of sitting there since I didn't bring a book to read, my mom came and picked me, my brother, as well as my father. Then, my mom drove us to the place where they keep the cars they pulled away. Then, me and my mother went to Taipei. Today is such an interesting day. It is almost May and I realized that in May, I will be very busy.

          The weather these days are so weird. I kept on raining and it's not normal rain because the rain is huge! I dislike it since I like it when it's sunny and when it's raining, it causes traffic, and it's very dangerous when driving on the high way and you get wet and sick, and it's just very annoying for me. Also, we probably won't have PE outside tomorrow even if it isn't raining during PE time because it probably will still be wet since it is raining like crazy right now. Each droplet is huge and gigantic. I hate it when it rains and when I typhoon comes. I hate it because my grandparents live in Tainan and they are pretty old and when a typhoon hits Taiwan, Tainan floods and every thing gets damaged and it's not good.  For example, there's the August 8 flood one year and the year after that, it flooded again. We changed cars twice in two years because of those flood and typhoon! We also changed the furniture and stuff, and now, it will be worse since my grandparents are even older and my grandma have Alzheimer which is pretty bad...

          These days, I am so forgetful. On Tuesday, I forgot to print my history paper out. Today, on my way home from my mom's office at 6:15, I forgot to bring my violin so my mom and the car and I drove back and I got the violin and we drove back home and when we reached home from Jubei, it's already 7. In the car, I tried to sleep and I finally managed to fall asleep and we arrived. Now, I just feel tired. I feel tired these days and I wish I can sleep earlier and my eye sight are getting blurrier. I wear contact lenses and I might need to get a new set. I have already changed a set this year. I might have to change it again.

          Today, during homeroom, I suddenly realized that I didn't print my history homework out. We are supposed to write or type an essay on a god or goddess that we chose during class. Since, I got to go pretty last, I got Aphrodite. She's not that bad though. Well, I didn't print it nor email it to Mr.Paul. I finished it on Sunday night and it is supposed to be due Tuesday. At first, I thought that I will email it to myself and print it on Monday at my mom's office but then, I didn't since I was a bit busy. Then, I came home completely forgotten about it. Then, I realized it when it's way too late. But then, people often make mistakes.

          This weekend was pretty awesome! On Saturday, my brother and my parents headed to Taipei since my brother need to attend a meeting about Princeton. At first, my mom was going to drive me home and leave me at home but then, my mom decided to let me go to Andrea, my friend's house to play since on Saturday morning, my mom need to go to work and she comes to my mom's office to learn piano. I went with them and had some fun until we went to an activity where I became involved. I really didn't want to be involved but I didn't have the guts to tell her mom that I don't want to attend so I ended up having to attend in that event next Saturday. It sucked...I wish I had the courage to say NO! I DON'T WANT TO GO...but I don't. Well, then, I spent the rest of the afternoon at their house playing with Andrea and Brandon. Then, on Sunday, my brother and I went and had violin class at 11 and after violin class, my brother and I went to Vivian's house. We went there because a group of my classmates are having a meeting congratulating my brother and asking him questions about the process since he got into Princeton. It was pretty fun since I get to play with Joseph, Samuel, Clement, Eve, and Vivian. Then, we headed home and I started doing homework. That part sucked because we have a lot of homework. At 7, we went to dinner and after dinner, while walking home, I laughed so hard that I had to use the restroom. I was laughing at how my brother is copying how people walk. For example, my brother will copy a way a teacher walk or what a teacher do and it is hilarious! Today, I went to school for orchestra and I won't consider it as a fun activity but it wasn't that boring. I get to watch the musical, laugh at people in a funny way, play poker cards, arm wrestle, eat pizza, and have fun! Tomorrow, school is starting again and I haven't complete my homework yet.

          I am reading Lord of the Rings book 2 and I find that book 2 is far more interesting than book 1. I am deeper into the book than what I thought I will be. Also, I am now reading Speaker For the Dead. It is a sequel to Ender's Game. I really liked the Ender's Game. It expressed how the boy felt very well. Well, today, we had orchestra and it was pretty fun. Well, I kind of enjoyed it. During orchestra, people played happy birthday songs for Ben and Jeremy since it's their birthday. Also, some people just started playing movie theme songs such as Star Wars, the Titanic, Indiana Jones, and other movies. It's quite interesting and I often wonder how they remember all those songs in their head. I can't remember songs in movies that I've saw before. But I wish I can. That will be cool.

          I can't believe that this week just started and it's about to end. This weekend, my father is going to England for a business trip and I wish I can go as well, since I've never been to England. But, I can't because of school. Then, next Monday is PD day but I have to go to school. That's pretty unfair right? Well, I guess it's not really fair and the reason that I have to go to school is because I am part of the orchestra. On Monday, all the students in the musical, orchestra, and stage art have to go to school on Monday because they have a rehearsal going on. Also, I found that when you go to school, you need to swipe a card and when you leave, you also need to swipe a card really weird. Also, in some classes, when the bell ring, you can't go in from the outside unless you have the card and when you are inside, you can't go outside unless you press a button. How weird. This quarter, my grades are pretty awesome and I improved from last quarter as well. However, I had a bad start of this quarter. My English grade normally start from an A+ (100%) at the start of the year but now, it is starting from an A (95%). I started from an A because on the myth retell homework, I got a 90%. And for the reading circle, Joseph is in our group and he didn't do his work so our grade also went down. :( Sad face ):

          Today, I woke up at four o'clock in the morning to a weird sound. I didn't know what that was and I can't get back to sleep. So, I got up and used the rest room. Then, I went back to bed and slept but with that weird noise that sounded like a machine but yet, I've never heard that noise before ringing in my ear, I can't fall asleep. But then, the noise stopped and I soon found myself falling asleep. When I woke up the next time, it's 6:30 and I continued sleeping then, at 6:50, my dad came and woke me up. I asked him about a weird noise during the night but he said he didn't hear. Then, I went downstairs. That is where I learn the answer to my question. My mother said that the dish dryer machine sort of burned up or something that I don't really understand and then, she found out that I heard the noise. Then, she start telling me that when I hear something unusual, I should tell her even if it is 4 in the morning. Then, I understood.

          Today, my eyes are very dry and it bothers me a lot especially for the first class of school. Today, the first class is Computer and I don't normally stare at computers, TV, or any electronic devices early in the morning so it hurts my eyes. Especially today since my eyes are very dry. Then, the rest of the day, it is just as annoying. But now, at night, things seemed to be better. I hope tomorrow my eyes aren't as dry. Also, I hope that tomorrow doesn't rain because we have PE. We are playing basketball during PE now and I don't like basketball in particular but I don't hate it but it is still exercising. I will prefer to run around then sit in a chair for 90 minutes watching a movie. Especially if we are watching a move I've watched before. Then, it tends to be really really really boring. 

April 15, 2012

          I wonder what I will do if I just stopped playing violin and piano. To be honest, I don't know what I am going to do. I have been playing piano and violin for a real long time and it's just part of my life now.  If I just stop playing the instruments, I have two hours to spare each day and I don't really need extra hours and I won't spend the two extra hours playing computer games. I really don't know...since music have became a part of my life now. But yet, I have been playing for such a long time and I am not just good at it. Maybe I'm just not the kind of person to learn music. I got to go. Bye.

          Today, we had orchestra and like what I typed yesterday, I enjoyed it. I know that might sound weird because if you give most people as choice of any club they can join, they wouldn't be joining orchestra. I wouldn't as well but since Ms.Ivy asked me, I joined. Today is pretty interesting even though we have to stay at least 5 minutes after the bell ring and after that, we need to put the desks all back together which took another 5 minutes. The part that I like is that I am able to watch all the people act. I just like it with no details to back it up. I realized that my journal's length is decreasing as each day pass and I should do something about that. But yet, sometimes, there just really isn't anything to type about such as a few days ago. But still, I'll type about my day. 

April 11, 2012

          I feel sad because of several reasons. Some reasons, I can't tell but others I can and I will type what I can here, in this blog. Okay, so yesterday, I told my father that I got 100% on my math test and he said good job and then, I showed him the test and he said that the test is so very easy compared to math from local, which I agree, and that if I didn't get 100, I suck. The math we learn in PAS is much more easy than the math from local chinese schools. Well, nevermind. I want to be happy so, I will stop talking about sad things. Well, tomorrow have orchestra. I don't dislike orchestra. I like orchestra. I find it fun even though I don't know why. It is as if I can be with a group of people that share something the same that is not their age. I don't really know how to explain but I like orchestra. I also like orchestra because we can see the musical before hand. Also, this is the last year that my brother and I will ever be in the same orchestra. During orchestra, I often look at my brother and then, my brother turns to me and we started laughing. It is as if we can read each other's mind. For example, the Friday before Spring Break, we were playing for the musical and I looked at my brother and my brother looked at me and then looked at Ms.Ivy and then back to me and we both started laughing of the same reason that I won't mention here. Then, at home, we discuss and talk and it's pretty fun.

          My computer is acting really weird these days. Sometimes, I can use Firefox while I can't use Google Chrome. Sometimes, I can use both Firefox and Google Chrome. Sometimes, I can't use either of them and sometimes I can use Google Chrome and not Firefox. But always, I can use Internet Explorer even though I don't like using Internet Explorer. Today when I turned on my computer, I can't use Firefox as well as Google Chrome and my Internet Explorer doesn't allow me to make a blog post and I'm trying to fix that problem right now. So, I decided to do my journal later. And now, I clicked on Google Chrome and it worked! It is very weird indeed. I really hope that I can fix Firefox and get it back to normal and I really hope that Google Chrome doesn't have any more problems and I really hope that I can speed up the speed of Internet Explorer because it is really slow. 

April 9, 2012

          As I typed yesterday, I am going to tell you what I did during Spring Break. So, over Spring Break, I did nothing special until the last three days which is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Friday, my family woke up at 5 and we headed to the train station where we got on a train to get to Hualing. The drive was long but I didn't notice since I was sleeping most of the time. When we arrived at Hualing, we rented a car and headed to a restaurant to meet my mother's older sister and her son which is my cousin. We had fun together eating. Then, later taht day, we headed on to all kind of places in Hualing. Then, the next day, my family and I traveled alone without my aunt and cousin. We continued going around the Hualing and having quite a lot of fun. On the second day, we drove from Hualing to Taidong and we continued having fun in Taidong. Then, on the last day, we walked on a mountain that took forever. There are at least more than 2000 steps and it's so tiring. But since we need to catch a train, we need to hurry and we barely rested. After climbing the mountain, we headed for the train station. The ride took at least 5 hours and it is annoying. I wish I brought a book to read but I didn't so I spent a lot of time sleeping, playing poker cards, and playing my oldest brother's i-pad. But the trip was worth it. It was a lot of fun. And now, school started and I have to start my daily schedule of going to school then to my mom's office to practice piano and violin. 

April 8, 2012

          Even though today is April 9, I am typing a post for April 8. That's because there's something wrong with my Google Chrome as well as my Firefox so I have to use Internet Explorer. I didn't update my Internet Explorer yet and so, that might be the reason why I couldn't type a blog post since it doesn't support the IE. I wrote it down by hand and now, I'm typing it in. Well, over Spring Break, I did nothing much until the last three days where my family and I went to Hualien and Taidong. I had fun but as we came back on Sunday, we arrived home at 10 and so, it's a bit late to continue typing my blog. I will type what I did during the break tomorrow.
