At school today, I did a Peer Helper tour for 2 families. Both families were really big, with lots of children and stuff. This is the second time I've done a tour, and this one was even better than the first! It was also a lot of fun :)


After school, there was another band rehearsal. It was exactly the same as yesterday, practicing the songs over and over again. A clarinet TA called Mr. Fishman called Alex, Johena and me to practice the trio. For our trio, we picked the song 'O Come All Ye Faithful'. I really like this christmas carol, and it sounds really cool! Mr. Fishman said that he might let us pick more than one song to play, but we haven't yet decided. I hope we can though!


Mommy came to pick Sophia and me up after clarinet. We ate pretzels and talked about what songs I could do for the trio.


When I got back home, it was time to go to tennis. I went down together with Rachel. 

After school today, Alex, Sydney, Sophia and I once again stayed in our class to do our homework and wait for clarinet class to start. We finished our homework really quickly and then started playing around like we did yesterday. It was really funny.


After clarinet class, Mr. Lovett gave Alex, another girl called Johena, and me a book full of songs for three people. He asked us to pick a song to play in the concert! Unfortunately, the song 'Jingle Bell Rock' has notes we haven't learnt yet, so we can't play that :( We haven't yet chosen what song we want to play yet though......


Sydney's mom couldn't pick her up from clarinet, so Sydney rode with Sophia and I back home. We used Sophia's helper's phone to do prank calls. It was so funny :D


When I got back home, I quickly did my homework and soon it was time for disco. Katy needed  to do something for school and had to miss disco class. So Rachel and I just went to disco alone. We continued to learn our dance to the song 'Poker Face'. I am now starting to get more familiar with the dance so it isn't too hard anymore! I really like the Poker Face dance.

After school, Sophia, Sydney, Alex and I all stayed in the classroom to wait for clarinet class and do our homework... well, we didn't actually have homework, so we pretty much just played around and had fun... the teacher was at a meeting so we could do whatever we wanted to do!! It was really fun :)


When it was time for clarinet, Mr. Lovett asked Alex, me and another girl to do a trio for the upcoming Christmas Concert. We haven't picked yet what song we are going to play, but it will definitely be a Christmas carol... I hope it's either 'Let It Snow' or 'Jingle Bell Rock'! Those are my favorites...


After clarinet, mommy picked me up and Sophia came to ride with us as well. 


I got back home and waited for disco to come. Soon it was time, so I went down to pick up Rachel and we went to the dance studio together. It was freezing cold outside and I had forgotten to bring a jacket with me, so now I am sneezing every second and I'm bundled up with... lemme see.... 4 thick sweatshirts!! I'm still cold........


At disco, I learnt a new dance to the song 'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga. It's really fast and it was really, really hard for Rachel and I to keep up. But I still enjoyed it. 

Sorry I couldn't write these past days... I've had really late nights. On Friday night, friends invited us to eat at the FCC (Foreign Correspondent Club) for dinner and we came back home extremely late, and on Saturday night, after playing about 3 hours of tennis at Wong Nai Chung, mommy, daddy and I went to the Chili Club for dinner and came home really late as well. 


Today was the Sedan Chair Race and Bazaar at the Matilda Hospital. Island Dance (the dance company where I take dance class) was invited to perform there. So this morning, I went over to Katy's house and we got ready together, then her mom took us to the hospital which was where we were performing. I only performed my disco dance, "Low". It was really windy up at the Peak which is where the Matilda Hospital is. It was freezing and the costumes were really thin so we were all freezing!! 


After the performance, Katy, her mom, mommy, daddy, and I all shared a taxi to go back home. 


For a science project for school, I had to get a water sample at the reservoir. So mommy, daddy and I walked with Samantha down to the reservoir. We scooped up some water and surprisingly, the water looked so clean!! I could barely tell the difference between purified water and water straight from the ocean!


We were walking back home with Samantha, and we decided to take her off the leash and play fetch with her. As we threw the ball and Samantha ran to catch it, she disappeared into the bushes. We couldn't see her anywhere. It was beginning to pour with rain and we had to hurry home to get dry, so we couldn't stay long to look for her; Samantha had run away loads of times before and we knew that she wouldn't come back just from a simple call of her name.


I was so sad. I kept worrying that she wouldn't come back and she would be stuck out in the pouring cold rain. But when we just got back home, Sophia's mom called us. She had found Samantha!! So daddy and I went back down to the Country Park where Sophia, Rogan and her mom waited for us with a very guilty Samantha. Apparently, Sophia had found Samantha in the barbecue pit and Sophia cornered Samantha and managed to catch her! I have no idea how she did it because Samantha is one fast dog, but I'm so glad that she's back!!! 

After school today, there was a mother-daughter tea party for all the 5th grade girls. Grayce, Sydney, Niki, Sophia and lots of other people went. We had cookies and tea and talked.... it was quite fun.


After the tea party, Sydney, Niki and I had to quickly rush to violin class straight after. We were still about 10 minutes late, but the teacher didn't get upset because he knew we were at a party. 


At violin class, the teacher gave us 5 new songs for the upcoming concert. The older songs were quite hard, but these ones are extremely easy for me.... the songs that we got today were just normal Christmas Carols (Jingle Bells, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, etc...). 


When violin class was over, Sydney, her mom, mommy and I all went back home together. We organized to have a play date sometime tomorrow afternoon. It's not official yet, but I really hope we can have a play date!! We haven't had one in ages.


When I got back home, it was already time for ballet. I quickly changed and went down to the dance studio with Rachel. 


At ballet, Ms. Claire had GREAT news!! I had told her yesterday about me stopping disco class because it was too easy for me. When I told her this, she immediately called the office and asked to move me up to the highest level!! They said I could, and now I've started disco again! I'm just soooo happy that now I can do harder, more challenging things :D 


Currently in the highest level of disco, they are learning 4 dances at once. I have no idea how to do any of the dances, and since Katy is in this level too, I went over to to her house after dinner so she could teach me how to do the dances. Although there are 4 dances, Katy could only remember 2 and we only had time to finish about 3/4 of each of the 2 dances. The dances that I learnt today were to the songs 'You Know I'm No Good' by Amy Winehouse, and 'Better In Time' by Leona Lewis. They both aren't very fast songs, but they were still really hard for me to learn. During the weekend, Katy will try to find some more time to help me learn the dance, though she does have lots of activities and homework to do... but I really hope I can learn at least 2 dances by this Monday so I won't be so far behind!!




When I got back home, I had to practice violin because tomorrow is my violin lesson. It was really late, and I only just finished, so I should be going to bed now because tomorrow I have tennis early in the morning!! So bye for now :)

It was the first day back at school today, and I'm actually quite happy to be back because I was really bored during the holidays and now that I have school, I won't have nothing to do!


After school, Alex, Sydney, Sophia and I all stayed behind to wait for clarinet class. So we did all our homework in our classroom. Soon it was time for our clarinet class.


Once again, our original clarinet teacher, Mr. Lovett, was sick again today, so Mrs. Webster taught us instead... I haven't seen Mr. Lovett in ages!! At clarinet, we played some new Christmas carols for our Christmas concert next month.


When clarinet class was over, mommy took Sophia and me back home. 


After the short taxi ride, I finally decided to stop disco dance class. I have really enjoyed doing disco, but the dances are way too easy for me and I am not old enough to be moved up to the higher level with more challenging dances. So I've stopped disco for now and I'm gonna start doing more tennis and maybe start after school basketball with Sydney.


So instead of going to disco, mommy and I walked down to the Wong Nai Chung tennis courts where kids who are really good at tennis (including Jonathan) play. But we got there too late because it was already the end of the group lesson and they were just playing games; so I couldn't really see how good they were...

Sleepover with Sophia

Originally, Sophia and I were planning to go to Ocean Park yesterday (even though I've already gone twice very recently), but we couldn't go.

So instead we had a barbecue at the Country Park. I took Samantha with me, and at the Country Park today, there were loads of people who were having barbecues too, so Samantha was going crazy trying to look for food; it was really hard to control her. I can't imagine how Samantha can still be so hungry even when she's just eaten almost half a bag of dog food (it's a really big bag!). While we were eating, Samantha kept jumping up onto the table, trying to get our food, so we had to tie her to a tree. She was whining the whole time we ate, but I couldn't untie her from the tree otherwise she would eat our food!!

After the barbecue, Sophia and I went back home and we played basketball together. When we became really thirsty after a while of playing, we went back to my house.

We watched some really funny videos on YouTube, and Sophia invited me to stay at her house for a sleepover. So we started planning what we would do.

When it was time for my ballet class to start, Sophia came to watch. We didn't get to learn any new dances or didn't get to play any games even though it's soon Halloween; we had to just do our normal, boring exercises.

When ballet was over, we went over to Sophia's house for a quick dinner, because I had to go home soon for Sophia to have her piano lesson.

While Sophia had her piano lesson, I had to practice piano, too. After I was all packed and ready and everything, Sophia called and I went over to her house.

We watched the movie 'Ice Princess'. It was really fun to watch.

Now it is gonna be Allison's barbecue birthday party, and after that it will be Katy's birthday party, and then... HALLOWEEN!!!!

Happy Halloween :D

Jockey Club

For lunch yesterday afternoon, mommy and I were invited to eat lunch with mommy's friends at the Hong Kong Jockey Club (a club just like the AMC). Mommy's friends had sons, both called Nicholas. After having a wonderful, filling buffet, Nicholas, Nicholas and I went to play in the playground. At first it was really boring because we all didn't talk to each other and we all didn't have anything to do. But then one of them suggested playing tag together. It was really fun. When we were all tired, we went back in to get some ice-cream. But unfortunately, there was no ice-cream left!! So instead, we had humongous crepes with lots of syrup and sprinkles. Of course, I couldn't finish even half of it, but  it was still really good.

After finishing our pancakes, we went to a game room with the Wii. We played the game 'Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games'. But we barely got to play because we soon had to go back home.

When I got back home, Sophia called once again, and we played just like yesterday. She had only stayed at my house for about 15 minutes when I had to go to ballet class, so Sophia came with me to watch. 

At ballet, we practiced our dance for the Charity Bazaar. I really can't wait!!

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

After school, I had violin class. Mr. Y wanted tested up on a song one by one at a really fast speed, but I did it without any mistakes! 


After violin class, I went to a tennis group lesson with Rachel. Rachel and I planned to have a sleep over on October 2nd... hopefully we can!! 


When tennis was over, Rachel came over to my house to help me a bit to prepare for my piano exam. She told me strategies about how to memorize things, and we practiced like it was really the exam. I really hope I do well on the day of my exam!


When Rachel went back home for dinner, Sophia sent me her speech that she will be saying to her class for Student Council tomorrow. I'm now reading through it and giving Sophia some advice about what she should add into her speech and stuff. I'm thinking about running for Student Council next year...

Making Posters

I had no after school activities today, so I had plenty of time to do all my homework. I had a lot of homework to do, but when I finally finished all of it, Sophia called me. She is running for Class Representative, so I wanted to help her with her campaigning. She brought some poster paper over to my house and we started to make a poster. I came up with a motto for Sophia that goes like this, "Check the box for the Rep that rocks!". I took pictures of Sophia, printed them out, and glued them on the poster paper. We also wrote, "Vote 4 Sophia!". I hope Sophia will become Class Rep! Sophia also got to stay for dinner, which gave us more time to finish the poster; Sophia has to start campaigning tomorrow. I'm so excited for her :)


At school for P.E., we had swimming class. Everyone had to do a test where we have to swim as many laps you can for 5 minutes... no stopping. So now I'm really tired. I swam 10 laps (250 meters) in 5 minutes today. 


I really want to find out what cabin I will be in for 5th grade camp!! I really hope I'll be in the same cabin as my friends. :P

Aberdeen Marina Club

Mommy, daddy and I were invited to have lunch with Sophia and her family with other friends. We ate lunch at a club called the Aberdeen Marina Club (AMC). There are really cool and fun things in the AMC.  There are 2 pools with huge water slides, restaurants, playgrounds, boats, and lots of other stuff.

After lunch, Sophia and I went to a fun play in the AMC called the Adventure Zone. There are cool, steep, big slides, climbing ropes, dark tunnels, etc... it was really fun!! 

When we got back home, in the middle of some of my chinese homework, Sophia called me, asking me if I wanted to go to the swimming pool with her. Sophia's dad and her brother was there as well. Her dad played Chicken Fight with us and played other games as well. Soon it was really late, so we had to go back home.

I've just finished doing my chinese homework, which is due tomorrow. I still have to do 2 articles and other stuff for chinese which is due on Tuesday. But I'm really tired now, so I guess I'll just have to squeeze all that in tomorrow!

Hey... if I go to bed really early tonight, think about how much earlier I'll get up tomorrow morning without the alarm clock!! Yessss! Then I won't have to rush for the school bus tomorrow if I do get up earlier that usual tomorrow :)

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

When I came home from Sophia's house after the sleep over party, I had to do my homework, but I finished that quite quickly because I only had very little. Since I still had some time, I had to practice my clarinet, violin and piano. I only got to finish my clarinet practicing and I started just a bit of violin. I didn't get to finish all of them because I was going to play baseball with Sophia, Sydney, Sophia's younger brother, Rogan, and Sydney's younger brother, Jacob. 


Baseball was really fun! Although the baseball hit my pinky and my cheekbone (no worries, it doesn't hurt anymore, thankfully), I really enjoyed playing. Next term, I really want to join the Little League girls' baseball team in the school. Sophia is in it and she says it's really fun.


After 2 1/2 hours of baseball, we went home for dinner. Sophia and I were hoping we could have dinner together, but we weren't allowed :(


School starts again tomorrow!! 

Sophia's Sleep over

Yesterday was such a fun day!! I woke up quite early in the morning because I had to go to a Peer Helper training lesson. I met all the other Peer Helpers in my school and they are all really nice! We played games and snacks and we talked about the tours we will be giving to new parents and students. I really enjoyed it!

After the training, I started preparing for Sophia's birthday party. Originally, Sophia was going to do a camping trip, but since the weather isn't that great these days, the camping trip was cancelled. So instead, Sophia had a sleep over birthday party. Hopefully we can still do another camping trip some other time when the weather is nice!!

I started making a card for Sophia. I printed out photos that Sophia and I took on the computer and put them in the card as well. Luckily there is a shop right underneath all the apartments, so since I was in a bit of a rush, I went there. I bought Sophia a little journal and now she seems to really like it! But I had to buy the present with my own pocket money... I'm trying my best to save up for the LG Xenon phone I am trying to buy with my pocket money. Right now I have HK$2,445!!

After practicing some piano, I went to swim some laps. It was nearly Sophia's birthday party, so I couldn't swim for very long.

I didn't take a shower after swimming because after dinner Sophia, Niki, Sydney, Amanda and I would swim again.

We had a barbecue dinner by the pool side, then the 5 of us went swimming.

We took showers in the clubhouse, so when we got home, we went to see the tents that we would be sleeping in. It looked amazing!! I got to sleep in the same tent as Sophia :)

We stayed up really, really late and had a midnight feast as well! It was one of my most favorite sleep overs I've ever had!

So the sleep over is the reason why I didn't get to write in my blog yesterday; so sorry. Tonight I will write again about what I did today.

Gotta go practice my instruments now!! Bye for now :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...

Although there was no school today, today was much more fun than I expected!! This morning, when I was still sleeping, Sophia called me asking if I could go swimming with her and have a picnic with her for lunch. I immediately replied yes, because without swimming and lunch with Sophia, I would be sooo bored!

I had brought my phone to the pool, so after an hour of swimming, we took pictures and videos. It was quite fun! But the water was quite cold, since it was still morning and the hot sun hadn't come out yet.

After swimming, Sophia's helper brought food to the pool side, and we had a picnic there for lunch. We had hamburgers and dumplings! Yum :)

When we finished lunch, we swam some more, playing games and talking. When we were starting to get sort of cold, we went indoors to take a shower in the club house.

After our showers, we went to my house and we picked out a movie together and watched it on the big-screen Macintosh in my room on my bed. We watched the movie 'Holes'. Our 2nd grade teacher read the book to us, and we really liked the book, so we watched the movie. The movie was really good as well!

Then it was time to take Samantha, my dog, out for a walk. Sophia and I took Sammy out together. Mommy came along as well. When we were on our way back home, we met many, many dogs. We also met a dog called Alex. She is 95% German Shepherd and she belongs to the Hong Kong Dog Rescue. Alex is 9 months old. Alex had a big sign saying: Adopt Me for Free! As soon as I saw that sign, I kept begging to get her.

Alex can sit, lie down, roll over, etc... Also, if you take Alex off the leash, if you call Alex's name, she will come right back, unlike Samantha. If we take Samantha off the leash, she would run off looking for food and never come back, even if we have treats in our hand. We also met a Yellow Lab called Simon. Simon is 3 years old and really well trained. We threw tennis balls for Simon to retrieve, and once, by accident, I threw the tennis ball into the bushes. Simon ran after it, and I thought Simon wouldn't come back, because that's what Samantha would do. She wouldn't come back at all. But after a minute or so, Simon came back... with the ball in his mouth!! I wish Samantha could be like Simon and Alex, so we could take Samantha off the leash and play ball with her, but we wouldn't do it now... not if there is a risk of losing her.

After a very fun but tiring walk with Samantha, Sophia and I went back to her house, because I was invited to another picnic with Sophia and her other friends. It was really fun as well. We played with hula-hoops and other things. The dinner was really nice as well; chicken wings, pasta, chicken, pizza and lots of other food.

Although mommy told me to go back home right after dinner, Sophia asked me to play at her house for an hour or so -- it was still really early! So mommy let me play with Sophia for a little bit, but I soon came back home because I have to go to bed soon.

I can't wait for tomorrow even though I don't know what I'm even gonna do tomorrow! But I bet tomorrow will have something to do with Sophia, and so will the next day... and the next... and the next... :D

A Busy Day

It was a really busy day for me today. After school, I had a clarinet lesson with Sydney, Alex, Sophia and other people. Right after clarinet, Sydney and I had to rush to violin lesson, since we both play the violin as well. And once violin class ended, it was already nearly 5:00 PM. Sydney's mom picked me and Sydney up, and Sophia came home with us as well!

When we all got home, we went swimming together. The pool is always very warm these days, which is great because sometimes when I go swimming, the pool is freezing cold and it's very hard for me to get used to it, so I end up doing very little swimming. But I had lots of fun with Sydney and Sophia today.

But, even though it's a Friday night, nobody was free to have dinner with me, so I just had sushi for dinner with mommy.

At school today, I found out a few interesting facts about the teachers in 5th grade. My teacher once has a 6-inch sliver through his leg!! Also, another teacher was once chased by the police when he was a teenager! There were many other facts as well about the 5th grade teachers.

I found out that on September 12th, I have to go to school for a Peer Helper training lesson. All the other Peer Helpers will have to go to school on the 12th as well!! I'm really excited :)

Peer Helpers vs. Student Council

I've thought about doing Student Council, and mommy and Monica think I would do well being the school President in Student Council instead of Peer Helpers. I think being the school President would be really cool as well. But I also really want to be a Peer Helper because Peer Helpers get to do tours for new students and parents.

At school today, we got to vote for our Peer Helpers, but we won't know who the Peer Helpers will be until tomorrow. After the vote, lots of people told me that they voted for me. Around 9 people voted for me! But I also really want to run for School President. But there is a higher chance that I will become a Peer Helper and there isn't that big of a chance to become School President because a lot of other students will be running for President as well. But now I'm starting to think that being President will be more fun than being a Peer Helper because the School President gets to organize lots of activities going on in the school. But again, the chance is higher that I will be a Peer Helper. So which one should I choose?!?!?!? AHHHHH, I can't decide!!!!! I NEED HELP!!!

Anyways, after school and homework, at 6:00 PM I went to play tennis with Todd. Today I had a group lesson with Rachel and Nitya and other people, instead of having a private lesson. It was really fun but really hot! So after tennis, I went night-swimming with Sophia and a couple of her friends, Seanna and Catherine. That was really fun! But I had to go home quite early for dinner :(

URgh!! I still can't decide whether to be a Peer Helper or School President. I need to decide by tomorrow morning!! If I turn out to get the most votes for Peer Helper, I can still say, 'No, I want to run for Student Council instead," but I really don't know whether I could even win School President!!! Oh, this is a hard decision!!! :(((((
