First day of school

Well, today was just like the first day of school all over again. Summer ended, school started, an extra week of summer started again, and then school starts again.

I brought my iPod Touch to school today so during the bus ride it was really fun -- everyone wanted to play with my iPod and we played games and listened to music.

After school, I came back home happily, since I had no homework at all that I had to worry about. But when I got home I still had to practice my piano. Today was one of the only days that I wasn't busy since I don't have activities on Tuesdays, so I had to practice for a long time since usually during the school week I don't have much time to practice.

Finally, after finishing my piano practicing, I hooked up Monica's Macintosh laptop into my little clubhouse. My clubhouse is right underneath my horseshoe-shaped desk. I have blankets and stuffed toys and cushions inside my clubhouse so it is very cosy. I even have a lamp in my clubhouse!! So now I'm just playing with my sister's laptop, in my little, cramped clubhouse...

After browsing on Amazon (Granddaddy gave me US$50 on Amazon), I went night-swimming, just by myself this time. Pretty much every night now I go 30 laps. My goal is to try to swim 1,500 laps. When I finish swimming 1,500 laps, mommy says she will buy me an LG Xenon phone!! So far, I have swam 150 laps... 1,350 laps to go!

Today I had my second violin lesson with my new violin tutor. Mommy had bought new violin books for my tutor and I to work on. So he taught me new songs to learn.

I had planned to eat at McDonald's for lunch after violin, but I wasn't very hungry after violin class, so we just took a taxi back home.

When I finished a small lunch at home, I called Rachel to see if she was free to play. I went down to her house and we played on her new Macintosh laptop.

After playing a bit with Rachel, I went swimming with Frances and Katy since today was really sunny and beautiful (about 92 degrees). First we started out to just talk, and then we played a game of tag and other games as well. When we were in the middle of a game, Frances spotted something on the floor of the pool. We all went to investigate in it, and decided that it was definitely doo-doo! We ran to tell the lifeguard, and as soon as the lifeguard starting using a long net to scoop the poo out, everyone in the pool immediately got out and left. But we stayed (not inside the pool of course) to watch the lifeguard, giggling and laughing. Then I soon had to go home to take a shower because it was nearly dinner time.

After a warm shower, Frances and Katy called, inviting me over to their house for dinner. I was allowed to go since mommy and daddy were going out for dinner. Frances and Katy's parents were going out as well.

We played lots of things; it was almost like a sleep over!! So sad we couldn't actually have a sleep over :( . But luckily I will be having a sleep over with Frances and Katy on September 18th, because it will be a sleep over birthday party for Frances!! Also, Katy and Frances have loads of clothes that are much too small for them, but since they are taller than I am, their small clothes could fit me! So Katy and Frances let me have all of their clothes that they couldn't wear anymore. They had lots of clothes that were too small for them and they are really nice clothes!! I'm so happy to have them :D Thanks so much, Frances and Katy!

When mommy and daddy got back home from dinner, they called me and unfortunately I had to go home since it was already really late :(

But I'm probably going to be playing with Frances and Katy again tomorrow... hopefully!
