S is for Summer

Summer is the warmest of all four seasons, between Spring and Autumn. It is marked by the longest days and the shortest nights.

It is my favourite time of the year, I love the hot weather, and the world just seems so much more colourful, and everyone seems happier.

The Summer is so much fun. I love it because it's like 3 months of freedom, there isn't any school, and there isn't much to worry about, just having fun and hanging out with friends. Some people go to camps and other things like that, but I honestly cannot stand anything like that. What I like to do is sit around in the sun, and tan. To me the Summer is relaxing, I don't really have much to do during the week days because my momma and daddy WORK! Boy do I feel bad for them, but then again i'm stuck babysitting my brother which is not the funnest thing, but I can't really do anything about it. Then the weekends come and it's a blast!

My family own's a yacht, and a seadoo boat. So on the weekend's in the Summer we enjoy going down there. We stay for the whole weekend, and bnoth of my dog's come. We sleep on the yacht, and sometimes we go on little journey's in it. Some places we may go to are in the States, or even just out on the lake, we out the anchor out and away we go. Then we have our seadoo boat which fits about 12 people and can go nice and fast. We usually use that boat to go to the beach, or just out for a little spin. Both of our boats are on Lake Erie.

That is what I like to do in the Summer.

But Summer has a down side, it doesn't last forever. Soon enough it's September and it's time to go back to school. And that's when it all ends...

Life Lesson: Enjoy the Summer while it lasts!

T is for Tests!

"Don't forget to study for ALL four of your tests!" My mother shouted. And all that was running through my head was "Oh my goodness, how am I going to pass all of these tests?" "And why do teachers do this to us, do they expect us to pass every test with flying colours, even if we have one almost EVERY day of the week, why don't they spread them out?!" "UGH!"

I find that tests can be very stressful if you don't prepare properly for them, so I try and study as much as I can, so I do well. But then, if you participate in other out of school activities then it gets harder, you don't have as much time to study, and you're always running around trying to get ready for whatever it is that you have to do, and trying to study at the SAME TIME. Like how are you supposed to balance that? And when teachers cram all the tests into one week, then it's even better, because you get to try and study for like 4 tests AND get ready for what you need to do. SERIOUSLY!

So pretty much, I think balancing everything you need to do PLUS studying can be difficult. And then when your mother gives you a huge long list of chores to do, which just adds on to your big list of things to do, it's even worse.

Soon enough, it is midnight and you're still trying to study and finish all of your chores, as your mother is telling you to go to bed. I find that hard to cope with, and it totally stresses me out.

And finally the day of the first test comes, and your body starts to tremble and you’re trying to breathe right before the test. Now it's right in front of you. The clock is ticking, and ticking! Your pencil breaks, and you don't have an eraser, what are you going to do? But really it doesn't and you keep writing and writing until finally the last question. DONE! Finally you’re finished.

Two days later it's back in front of you with a nice big red 90% on the front page right beside YOUR name. It makes you feel great!

"Mom, can you please come and sign this test, I tried my hardest!" "Well done, she says." As she reminds you to study for the three other tests, and she tells you that you have practice, and a big long list of chores to do. "Here we go again!" I think to myself.

Life Lesson: Never give up!

F is for Friends.

"EMELIE, GIVE ME SWEATER BACK NOW!"
Wilks screamed at me as Chrissy braided my hair.

Friends are a great thing. They are people who you can tell anything you want, and they are just fun to be around.
Wilks and Christine, are two of my best friends. Although Chrissy is brand new to the school it seems as if she's been here forever, and I was brand new last year. And it's as if we've all known eachother for life!
We have tonnes of fun together,we always have something to complete, and something to laugh at!

Just last weekend we decided we'd hangout, with some other people as well such as, Hannah and Brenna and Emilie V. So the 6 of us decided we'd try going to a dance near Christine's since we were right by, knowing that some other people we knew were going to be there we went. Before we went, we had like one slice of pizzza, which really didn't fill us, but it was time to leave for the dance! It was from 7 - 10. It was very fun and there were lots of people. When we got home, we reallly wanted to go in the hottub, so we went in, unfortunately it was only 87 degrees, leaving us to freeze in the cold water, PLUS it was snowing EW! While we did that, we broke the lid of the hottub. Chrissy's dad wasn't very impressed, he told us not to break anything else! So we went up stairs. One of us had this brilliant idea to fill the bathtub with really hot water, and all of us jumped in, soon enough there was water EVERYWHERE. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, he father again. "Girls, clean up in here, andd DON'T trash any other rooms." He said as he headed to bed. So we cleaned up and put our pj's on. Everything was great, but then we were hungry. we went down stairs and we ate like 1000000000 pieces of pizza! It was crazy! We finally went back upstairs, and played around on laptops for a while, took some pictures! Most of us fell asleep. But then at 3, everyone was up again. Some people were really grumpy, and others were scared out of their minds! We were up a little longer, but soon enough everyone was sleeping again.

Morning came, and we were really hungry, AGAIN! We really wanted cinnamin rolls, so we decided to make some. Chrissy turned the oven on, and started to put the rolls on a pan. When the oven beeped we opened it. WHOOOOSH, a huge cloud of smoke came out of the oven and we finally realized we left the pizza boxes in there. They were burning! We quickly through them out the door. We definately trashed Chrissy's house!

We have really great times together, whether they are tough, or fun, they always turn out amazing! I'm looking forward to going to her cottage this weekend, and I can't wait to see what adventures we go through!

Life Lesson: Friends are the best things you can have, but choose them wisely!

M is for March Break!

"Have a great March Break everyone!" Mme Radler said as we bolted for the door at 3:15 on March 12.
Who doesn't love MARCH BREAK?! Well I know that I love it. Two weeks of complete relaxation, whether your out having fun in the sun or just kicking it on the couch, it's always a great time.

"Emelie get in the car already" My mother shouted at 2:00am. It was WAY too early for me, but up I got, dragging my bags behind me. I reached the car! My plan was to sleep until we got to the Buffalo Airport, but my sister, as excited as she was decided she'd sing along with her iPod. Leaving me, trying to fall asleep, but really I couldn't because there was such a horrible noise. So, I never got to sleep, but we had finally arrived at the Airport, just in time to stand in a huge line up. Awesome. The good thing about when my family goes on vacation, we always travel with friends. This time there was a total of like 20 of us. So as we went through securtiy they ended up being behind us. Fortunately we got through everything fast and safely, leaving us with about a 2 hour wait sitting in chairs. Even more fun, but with all of us together, it actually was. Time flied and soon we were off. We arrived in Fort Lauderdale. The cruise was leaving the next day so we had a day to do whatever we wanted. Which the only thing I could think of was SHOPPING, we went to the mall and stayed there until closing, then went back to the hotel and slept.
In the morning we had some breakfast and soon it was time to board THE OASIS OF THE SEAS! Only the biggest cruise ship in the world!! My friends and I were SUPER excited to board.

This is it, the moment of truth, the time we board! The ship was marvelous, and we had one of the biggest suites. Although I was very tired, I was ready to explore. The ship had a sports deck,a skating rink, theatres, pools, an arcade, clubs, a boardwalk with a carousel, and many more. There were lots to do on sea days (days where we were at sea) and lots to do when we reached the ports. On this particular cruise, we visited St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and Nassau in the Bahamas.
In St. Thomas all of the girls went shopping, and all of the guys went to Black Beard's Castle. We had lots of fun!
In St. Maarten we also went shopping. Which was quite amusing, there were many great sites.
In the Bahamas we went to the Atlantis Hotel, where many celebrities stay, there were many cool things to see, and amazing glass sculptures.
All of the ports were exciting and beautiful.

I did so many things on this cruise, it was incredible!I will remember it forever!
I had the time of my life!

"Welcome back, did everyone have a good March Break?" Mme Radler said as we shoved our way through the classroom door bright and early on a MONDAY morning, everyone tired and not very excited to be back sitting in a classroom all day.
March Break is over, but now we have SUMMER VACATION to look forward to!


Life Lesson: Be greatful an enjoy everything you have.
