Ocean Park (again)

Since there wasn't any school today, this morning, Sydney and I left to go to Ocean Park! Grayce was planning to come with us, but turns out that she was busy, so she couldn't come :(


Sydney and I basically did that same rides at Ocean Park as I did with Sophia the last time I went. We went on the Mine Train, the Dragon (roller coaster), the Space Wheel, Bungee Trampoline and the Crazy Galleon. It was really fun with Sydney. We wanted to ride the most scary ride in Ocean Park called the Abyss, but it happened to be closed just today!! So we couldn't ride it :( I hope the next time I go it will be open again! It looks really fun :)


We had to come home kinda early because Sydney had Korean tutor. When I got home, Sophia called me, asking if I could play with her. She came over to my house, and I showed her some games and websites I found on the computer. Then she had to go home because she had chinese tutor. 


When Sophia left, mommy wanted me to go swimming before it got too cold, since the winter is soon here. It really was cold in the outdoor pool, so I went indoors to swim. After swimming 40 laps or so, I took a shower in the clubhouse and played a little while on the computers in the clubhouse.


Sophia and I had planned to play basketball after my tap lesson, so I was really looking forward to that. But unfortunately, she was busy with something else, so I stayed home and practiced piano instead.


Now I have to go practice violin... tomorrow Sydney might be free to play!! I hope so :)


I CAN'T WAIT FOR CAMP :D

I'm really soooo excited for camp!! I even started packing already! I only need to pack just a few more things...


When I got home from after-school violin class, I had no homework at all!! So I just played on the computer, listening to music... then I had to practice my piano for my piano lesson next, next Tuesday. I thought I was going to have a tennis group lesson tonight, but unfortunately, because of all the rain that made the courts wet and slippery, tennis was cancelled :(


So I just spent the night practicing my instruments and playing more on the computer. Tomorrow Sydney and I will be going to Ocean Park since there is no school on Thursday and Friday because there will be conferences on those days. Yay, so 2 extra days of vacation!!

Ocean Park

Today was so much fun!!! Since there wasn't any school, Sophia and I went to Ocean Park!! At first, I thought that Sophia wouldn't be able to go, because she wasn't calling me at all. When I finally decided that she would never call, Sophia called! I was sooo happy that we could go to Ocean Park!!! 


At Ocean Park, we rode many rides. I'll describe every ride we did...


-Dragon = Roller coaster with 3 loops and 3 up-hills and 3 down-hills. Sophia and I rode it 2 times.
-Mine Train = Roller coaster with no loops, but really fast. 4 up-hills and 4 down-hills. All hills were really steep. Sophia and I rode it 2 times.
-Bungee Trampoline = Jumping up and down really high. Sophia and I did it only once.
-Raging River = Boat on rocky water, then a really steep drop. Sophia and I did it once as well.


Those were all the rides we did... not much :( But all the lines were reeaaallly long, so those 4 rides took up almost 3 hours!! Sophia and I might go to Ocean Park again on October 1st. We don't know yet... I hope we can go again and ride more rides!


After Ocean Park, since it was boiling hot outside, Sophia, Niki and I went swimming together. The water felt sooo good and refreshing. But we couldn't swim long because I had to rush to ballet class. I had such little time that I couldn't even take a shower after swimming!


When I came back from ballet, I went over to Sophia's house for dinner. But we only had time to eat together; we couldn't play because Sophia had a piano lesson to go to. We planned to play after her piano lesson, but she never called, so I guess I'll just have to wait for tomorrow to play with her!!

Yeah! Tomorrow there won't be school because... wait, I don't know why actually! So today was the last day of the short week. There were only 3 days in the week today!!

I had sooo much homework last night... I finally knew what it was like to have lots of homework!! But luckily today, since it's weekend for me now!!

The weather has finally gotten a bit better, so this afternoon it was really hot and sunny!! 

At school today, we had swimming for P.E. It was really fun, and I raced lots of people in my class. But the changing part afterwards wasn't very great because the changing rooms are wet and sticky and changing inside those changing rooms wasn't exactly the best part...

I'm hoping that tomorrow I can go to Ocean Park with Sophia because the weather that is predicted for tomorrow is supposed to be still quite sunny but not too hot and not too cold. Going to Ocean Park during the summertime is a bit too hot... so hopefully Sophia and I can go to that amusement park tomorrow!! I really hope so :)

 

So since I had no after school activities and not much homework, I'm now chatting with Frances and Katy and doing video calls with them :D

Last day of vacation!!! Sad but happy

About an hour ago, daddy called saying that school might not start again tomorrow, but they weren't 100% sure yet. I know I shouldn't have kept my hopes up that my vacation would still be going on, because just now, daddy called again saying that school will definitely be starting tomorrow :( I don't want my vacation to end!! Haha, that's strange though... just a couple days ago, I was really wishing school would start again, and now I'm wishing my vacation would last longer!! Maybe it's just because I don't want to wake up so early again...

Since today wasn't going to be very hot like these past days have been, I called Sophia in the morning, asking again if she could go to Ocean Park. She never called back with an answer, so I'll just take that as a no... at least there is Sophia's birthday camping trip that will be coming up this weekend! Can't wait for that :)

Today I spent my whole afternoon sorting out my clothes; I have many, many, many, clothes, but most of my clothes are much too small for me. So today I went through all my jeans, sweat pants, capri pants, shirts, jackets, etc... and now that I'm finished sorting through all my clothes, my closet isn't filled at all anymore!! I seem to barely have any clothes left now... I really need to shop for more clothes then! But I still don't know what to do with my smaller clothing, and now all my too-small clothes are all spread out on my bed, and the clothes take up pretty much my whole entire bed, which is a queen size bed! Yup, that's how much clothes I used to have...

Then I took Samantha out for a walk with mommy right before my disco class. For disco, we have to wear long, black pants, and since I was planning to go directly to disco after walking Samantha, I had to walk with long, black pants in the blazing hotness. It was sooo hot for me that I was practically drenched in sweat by the time I got to disco. You can't image how sweaty, hot and tired I was after disco!!!

At disco, my disco teacher, Ms. Tiffany, gave the class news saying that we would have to do a dance to the song called Hoedown Throwdown with the little kids that were one level lower than us in disco. If you don't know what the Hoedown Throwdown is, check it out on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hoedown+throwdown&search_type=

It's not the best song to dance to, and I have to do it!! :(((

But luckily, we also get to do another dance for disco that isn't as easy...

I read the book 'New Moon' most of the time today, which is probably why I finally finished it and am now starting 'Eclipse', the 3rd book in the Twilight Saga. 'New Moon' is really good and everyone says that 'Eclipse' is the best one... the most exciting one!! So I can't wait to read more of 'Eclipse'!

After many, many hours of reading, someone was finally able to play. I always wonder why I'm the only one who is always free, 24/7!! People are always sooo busy, and I'm always sooo bored, with nothing to do, homework all finished, and all other friends aren't free to play. But luckily, Frances and Katy finished their homework before everyone else (thank you!), so I immediately called them to play.

We had decided to play in the playground, but ended up just playing at home because it was just much too hot outside to play.

Unfortunately, I couldn't play for very long because there was a movie that I really wanted to watch on TV called 'Princess Protection Program', starring Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez. It's really good! I really enjoyed watching it :)

After watching 'Princess Protection Program', I pushed my bedtime to a little bit later and watched one episode of the TV show called 'Wizards of Waverly Place'. I ate a watermelon flavored popsicle while watching.

I'm hoping now that tomorrow I can go to an amusement park called 'Ocean Park' together with a friend, since I still won't be having school tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too hot and the weather will be just right for Ocean Park.
