July.25.2007 -- A Midsummer Day's Blog Hi everyone! My summer's still going great... I'm doing some photography -- I discovered that bobby pins make the BEST photographic subject -- and writing some poetry after a two-year-long hiatus. I added a link to my brand new poetry blog on the main page of my site. I do hope you will take a look and maybe comment if you have time! I don't have much to write about, so I thought I'd share 'my little story' with you. share it with everyone. If you know me well, no doubt you have already heard it. But for those who haven't, I'm posting it to my blog in hopes that it will make you smile! Here goes: I came to Canada when I was 5, and I didn't know any English. I learned quickly, but because my school had not ESL program, my vocabulary was limited. One day, we were doing a worksheet on animals: "Name an animal with stripes." "What does a bird use to fly?" "What is a zoo?" "What are pests?" Pests? I had no idea what 'pest' meant, and was too intimidated by my strict teacher to come up and ask her. So I decided to listen to the answers others were sharing with each other. I heard it from two whispering, giggling girls, and wrote it down, so proud of my problem solving skills: "Boys are pests." I never got that worksheet back...I wonder why... Oksy x PS. That is why I never cheat! Lol... have a great one! :) (TO COMMENT ON THIS ENTRY, VISIT THE 'ARCHIVES' LINK ABOVE) ------------------------------------ June.24.2007 - Flip-Flop Season! Summer is here!!! Wow, I haven't blogged in two months now... I've been really busy with schoolwork, but now that it's over, I can catch up on all the Cyberspace time I missed! I'm not even sure where to start blogging... I guess I'll tell you guys about my exams. In one word: Ugh. To elaborate a bit on that... they were all right. Math was so easy, it was irritating. It was a board-wide exam, so it was easy because everybody in the whole school board should be able to write it.. I guess I shouldn't be complaining, but it made me really mad because I studied a whole weekend for nothing... and I kept re-reading the questions to see if there wasn't any trick to them! Okay, I REALLY shouldn't be complaining! That brought up my average a lot... but I do wish I had studied for English or Science instead. English was all right, but Science was terrible. I barely knew any of the answers, and I DID study, just all the wrong stuff. I memorized about 10 pages of notes, but the questions on the exam were the very ones I hadn't memorized... plus, I finished at the last second and didn't look over it much. However, I'm not too, too upset... Normally, would be, but at the moment, I'm just so happy summer's here, I actually don't mind all that much. I'm not taking any of the sciences next year anyway. This summer, I'm just looking forward to doing some photography, drawing a lot, updating my site (I've already changed the front page), reading, and writing some... Please drop in and add some comments when you have time! Oksy :)
