It's almost February. Already. Wow. A few more hours and that's it.
Today was a fun day, to say the least.
My cousin came over, and we had a study date. But we also made lunch, smoothies, and cookies together. It was so much fun. Everything we made was experimental, but it all turned out well, so that was good. :) Photos on FB, for those of you who know me personally. We were also quite productive at the same time, and got a lot of studying done. No computer/TV for 4 hours really made us work hard. We left the radio on just to lighten up the mood, and we sung along to all the songs, aha. Genetics.
Oh, I must mention, I'm a bit of a Directioner now. Love One Direction. They're sooo amazing. That said, I'm so sad that Tumblr is down tonight. Server's overfilled or something of the sort. Eww. I could be tumbling about One Direction and reblogging all the awesome photos on Tumblr right now. But no, it's just Facebook and Twitter tonight. Oh well. It's late. Should be going to bed soon anyway I guess.
Tutor was asdlfjkadlsf today. Hard concepts. Intro to grade 12 lesson. Really great start aha. And I thought grade 12 math would be less of a jump than it was from grade 10 to grade 11. We'll really have to see about that...sigh.
Tomorrow will be an interesting day. Pianoing most of the day, and jamming with my retreat worship band. The 10s have their math exam tomorrow, so I won't get to see them again till Thursday. But oh well, that's okay. Good luck to them :) I know quite a few of them are freaking out for math. Lots of reassurance given to my fellow grade 10s over the past few days. Need to pray for them tonight before bed as well.
I write about family everyday; it gets repetitive. Things are heating up again. Don't know how long it'll be before the chaos dies down completely. I think my cuzzin's family is doing better today, so I guess that's good. Mine isn't, but time will heal things. I want to believe that anyway.
Alright, it's about time I head off for bed now. Toodles!

Wow. What an eventful day.
So the math exam today actually wasn't that hard. In fact, I was speeding through it until I got to the last question. Stumped. Good thing I still had like 30 min left though. I tried and tried, and I couldn't come to an answer. My graph didn't look right, and the formula I had created didn't match the graph. It was like...omgssssh, everything was going soo well, why now?!? Anyway. I stopped writing and took a breather, and decided to pray to God. After praying, I got the answer on my next attempt! Well, I still don't know for sure if it's the right answer, but I have a hunch it just might be (: After praying, God gave me the confidence and wisdom I needed to help me finish the exam, so I was really really thankful for that.
And it's not the first "exam success" story I've heard because someone prayed during their exam too. In fact, my cuz actually had a similar experience on one of her exams a few days ago too. So PTL for His amazing and enduring love, and for Him giving both my cuz and I wisdom during the exam when we got stumped. Lesson learnt, pray all throughout your exam. God really will watch out for you (:
After my exam, I went over to a friend's place to chill for a while, and we watched The Box together. It's a horror/thriller/sci-fi mystery movie from 2009. Really strange plot and stuff, and kinda confusing, but decent movie nonetheless. Next on my list is to watch The Host, a Korean horror/monster movie. Really looking forward to that. It should be quite a good movie. The ratings seem good (:
Family is slowly getting better. I've had lots of people praying for me about it lately, so thanks everyone for that. Slowly getting better, but like still, there's this thing with the people in my family. We're really good at holding grudges and ignoring one another. Not exactly a good thing. And some of us are also really stubborn and don't like to admit that we're wrong. It's kind of a thing that my cuzzin and I have noticed throughout our families. Kind of like a family trend. Talk about awks, aha.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow actually. Should be a fun day. Get to sleep in, make my own lunch and experiment with the kitchen, make cookies in the afternoon, and chillz with my cuzz. Who could ask for anything better considering it's still technically a school day? (: EXCITED FOR RETREAT TOO. it's a few days away, can't wait!
Alright, it's late. I should go to bed soon. Write again tomorrow! Nightss!

Hello there. Another early morning post for today I suppose.
I actually woke at 10:30am today, though I promised myself I'd wake at 8:30am. Whatta fail. Aha. Oh well, it's okay, I don't have much left to study for math anyway.
Today's the math exam. Not nervous. Maybe because I'm still sick and my brain isn't functioning properly. Or maybe because I actually feel confident enough to not be nervous. I'm not sure. Hoping the 2nd, because then that would be a good thing.
Should be studying right now, or reviewing my notes at least. But look, I'm on Blogspot again...LOL. And Tumblr. It was the first thing I went on this morning once I woke up. Not obsessed, but nothing better to do I guess. There was hardly anyone on MSN to talk to, so I figured I'd go blog. Yeaaa :)
A bit of freedom after my exam is over today, which is good. One less thing to worry about is always good. But then, there's still family issues to worry about. My cuzz and I. Still. Family is like adklfjakdlsjflkd. Wish we could both do something to change the circumstances, because we feel like we're just kinda stuck in the middle right now. And everyone in our family is really good at holding grudges too. That, for once, isn't a good thing, because we're all just trying to avoid one another now. Well, except for my cuzzin and I of course. We're talking more than usual. But the rest of the famjam isn't. I don't know. We've both been praying a lot for our families and for each other. Hopefully God will help smoothen out things soon and things will go back to normal. For at least a bit. Need some time to gain some hope back.
I complain a lot. It's true. That whole paragraph up there ^ was basically complaining and me moaping about. Need to stop being a pessimist and like look on the bright side of everything. My status of the day is to tell people to smile, because you can. Now, I need to apply that to myself too. There's always a silver lining in each cloud, and you just have to find it. I need to find mine.
Okay, enough blogging for now, maybe I'll write again tonight. Toodles!

So if you're observant, you'll have noticed that I didn't post anything yesterday. Wasn't exactly in the mood to write. Things have just been so chaotic over the weekend.
Family problems. Won't say too much, but life at home hasn't been the greatest. Lots of arguments between the 'rents and stuff lately. Same for my cousin, but even worse to some degree. It's good that we have each other to talk to (my cousin and I) and that we both brought our problems to God, but like, we just wish that our parents would understand how we're feeling, and how scared we are sometimes to be living under our own roofs. Pray for us, will you?
Math exam is tomorrow. Not super worried, cuz I guess I'm just at a point where I don't really care anymore. I haven't been feeling well this week either, and my cold's been getting worse, so like I'm not exactly in the mood to study super hard. Looking over my notes right now, but sort of grazing over them. I think I'll be okay for math though. I don't know. We'll see tomorrow I guess.
That's all for now. Sorry for such a depressing post today, but just gotta live life and move on. Toodles.

Second post of the day. Wow, someone's dedicated.
Anyway, felly was soo fun today. Spent some quality time with my cousin, and we just gelled so well together (: Didn't get too too much studying done, but at least I got time to finish all the retreat stuff and pull out the cheques. I'm no longer carrying loads of money of me. Thank goodness. So scared I would lose it and stuff.
Newcomer's introduction was interesting today. Name, grade, school, and make a slug sound. Haha my cousin's slug sound + the expression on her face = picture perfect moment. Except no camera on hand. It was hilarious though. Sluggsss for lifee <3
I'm not really worried about my math exam on Monday. I don't know if I'm actually not worried or if the pressure isn't getting to me yet, but I feel like it's soo jokes compared to my other two exams. Well french is and was the hardest out of my three exams, so since that's done and over with, life is chillz for the rest of the week.
I'm excited cuz retreat is in one week! Spending quality time with God and friends and the outdoors, and no homework to worry about, paradise. Ahh. Excited :D
Okay going to bed now. Feel like sleeping early tonight. Toodles!

God has been very very good to be today. No jokes.
Started off with my English exam in the morning. Went pretty well overall, and thank goodness the stickies in my book that I had marked off applied to the passage given to us as well. I would've freaked if it hadn't. So yaay for that. And yay also cuz I got my final summative mark for English back too, and I did really well on that. God is good.
Lunch was good too. Chilling with friends and just talking and stuff was fun.
Went back to school in the afternoon to help out with AY Dance auditions as a demonstrator. Funny how while demonstrating, I accidentally messed up one of the jumps, and I screwed up some of the kiddies. But that's okay, one exercise out of many in the audition can't hurt. I wasn't extremely impressed by any of the kids auditioning, but some seemed decent. I look forward to seeing who got in for AY Dance next year. Shall be interesting.
I'm looking forward to fellowship tonight at church. I was able to finish the math that's due tomorrow for tutor over lunch today, so I don't have to do that tonight. Thanks goodness. I'm a little sick of studying for so many exams. 2/3 done though, so 1 left, which isn't bad. I wish it wasn't worth 30% and was only worth 15%, but oh well, just gotta let life be. Anyway, I'm looking forward to KNA at church tonight because:
1) I get to see my cousin!
2) I get to see other friends
3) I get to spend time with God.
4) I get to jam with my retreat worship team
^ That altogether should come together as a really fun yet productive evening. Excited again :D
Don't have much more to say except that I'm very very thankful for all that God has blessed me with today. He truly does provide, and knowing him has definitely made these past few years of life so much better.

Morning!
I'm glad I got to sleep in a bit today. I feel so much more energized than I normally do when I wake at 8am, which is a great thing because I have an exam later on in the day.
I'm still studying for my French exam at the moment, but I'm starting to feel more and more confident about it. I've been calculating the minimum mark I'd need to get on my exam to keep my average at an 80, and really, I don't need a high mark on the exam. Even decided to calculate what would happen if I passed the exam with a 50. Again, not a big impact to my current mark. That said though, I realize I shouldn't be going into the exam with that kind of a mentality, because it'll only destine me for failure. If I know my minimum, why can't I reach for more? Reach for my maximum? Believe more in myself and have more faith in God?
I think that's some food for thought for today especially, but also for the rest of my upcoming exams. Reaching for my maximum, and giving it my all, just as God did.
Blogging does help express my emotions. So much. It's like the second best thing next to talking to God personally. Amazing huh?
Anyway, back to studying. This time, with the right mentality. Believe in yourself, and you can do it too!
Toodles.

Taking a shot at blogging because I don't feel like Tumblr adequately expresses how I feel each day, and tweeting is a pain. And FB is too public. So blogger, here I am.
About 12 hours till my first exam of grade 11. Yikes.
No matter how much studying I've done for the exam tomorrow, I feel like I still don't know all the material, and that I'm not fully ready. Like, there's such so much content to cover, I don't even know where to start reviewing. I've already looked over everything and rewritten my notes once. Halfway through the review package. Looking at my notes in its entirety for the second time now. I've never been this dedicated in studying for an exam. I don't think it's working too too well though. Blarggghh.
I'm glad I went to the school fellowship after school today. I really needed that time to be spent with God and just to meditate on all the things I have and haven't been doing this week. It was good to be able to spend time with others and pray for my fellow brothers and sisters too. I guess it's just the whole sense of community and everything that brought us together. PTL for that.
I'm still super worried for tomorrow, but I guess I'll just have to let tomorrow worry about itself. I keep telling others (and myself too) to just do your best and leave the rest to God. So much easier said than done though. Though I'm trying. And trying pretty hard too.
Enough writing for now. Better go get some sleep so I can finish my reviewing tomorrow morning. So much to do, so little time.
God Bless you if you're reading this. Nights!
