First Snow

This morning the first flakes of winter came down from the heavens! SNOW!!!!!! It started out as little,  microscopic snowflakes then for a couple minutes would turn into these chunks about half an inch wide! The entire day, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the school dismissal. I was so excited I almost did a somersault in the middle of the hallway! Actually, in general it was a great, exciting day!

For some reason, this is the only thing I wanted to blog about since I was just so excited...

Christmas is in the air... I can hear it.

This is the weirdest title for a blog post, but for me is true. I can literally hear Christmas waltzing down the hallway, up the stairs, around the corner, into my room, and finally ending up in my ears. Music of course! Today, the Holiday Music has started up on the radio and I'm becoming a pumped maniac! That may be bad, but who cares?!

Show Choir is going great, but I need to learn a lot of songs by December 3 for a book fair we're performing at. I know it'll end up magnificently in the end, but I'm still nervous. The hard part is memorizing the routines and music, then actually remembering all it.

Last year I went to Australia for Christmas, my birthday, etc. This year I'm stationary in Illinois where it'll snow and snow. Snow, by the way, is cold. A lot of people already know that, but cold snow equals ice. Ice equals car accidents, then the car accidents lead to death! Eeek! Why am I talking about death, I don't know but listening to Christmas Music on the radio makes me type bizarre sentences. Oh my, bizarre reminds me of blizzard, and blizzard leads to power outages, and power outages lead to more suffering! No T.V!!! The end of the world would've come early then.

I bid you goodbye as the time is ticking towards 9:30, and I need to "sleep."

Lazy Thursday

Right now, I've come down with a stomachache and a headache. To pass the time, I decided to blog something. I could talk about anything really. Like the fact that as I'm typing this sentence, Penelope is on top of my left arm.

Last night, I went to my Show Choir practice and I was assigned eight entire songs! Five of them are Holiday Songs. There's Let it Snow/Winter Wonderland, which is a mash up of both songs. Another one is Felis Navidad! I love that song, especially since it's in Spanish, because I'm learning Spanish at the moment. Sleigh Ride and Santa Baby are also some songs that we're learning, but they're hard to learn because of all the confusing harmony. So Christmas doesn't hog the show there is one Hannukah Song. That one is really fun too.

Sadly, nothing else has been going on so I'll end this post for now.

Thanks!

Happy Haunted Halloween!

Happy Halloween to everyone who like candy!!!

I've been bombarded with truck loads of homework, and have been texting my BFF's. It's become a thing, texting, and I can easily chat with my friends. Of topic, but true.

The school year is gradually getting better! This quarter I have SPANISH CLASS!!!!!!! Today was my very first day, and my teacher, Seniora Vincent, spoke total Spanish! Not a peep of English. I could somehow make out what she was saying, but otherwise... I was very confundida!!!! (that means confused in Spanish).

Halloween this year was very simple. I, the great Irene, was a very very glamorous vampire with my friend Nora. Christina was going to be Moaning Myrtle from Harry Potter, but last minute she got a PhD and ended up dressing up as a doctor. Anyway, I trick-or-treated with Nora and my other friend Brigitte. She's had mono for the past month, and I barely see her anymore. She come to school for two periods then leaves, because mono makes you uber tired. Back to trick-or-treating, Brigitte was a masquerade! She work this beautiful dress that she decorated with this gold shawl and it was just epic. Nora and I went shopping together and bought a dress/top, some sparkly eyeshadow, and matching jewelry. In the end my eyes were huge. One eye has so much black eye shadow it looked like I had black skin. I think it was VERY Halloweenish though, and thank Mum for doing it.

When I got home after walking for a really long time (about two hours, maybe less), I told my Dad, "Halloween is finally over..." he replied, "Next up, Thanksgiving!"

I forgot to mention something that I feel was very important! I went to Boo Bash, which is a Halloween party at a nearby park. They had the Trail of Terror which Nora dragged me through. I was creeped out and thought I would die, but in the end I stayed alive! Then at the end, there was a Haunted Hospital which was enclosed in black tarp. I was really wimpy and passed, but Nora and Brigitte both went inside. Afterwards, they told me what happened and I said, "I'm so glad I didn't come with you."

I may want to get to bed soon, it after nine and there's school tomorrow. Maybe I'll stay on my laptop a bit more(he he he...).

The New School Year

Hello!

Sorry I haven't posted for such a long time. I keep forgetting, and postponing and such.

I know it's September, but over the summer my family and I all went to GREECE!!!!!!! We stayed for like... almost 2 months!!! It was a really long time away from home, and Penelope the pussy cat, and all my friends, and cousins.

Sadly I don't have any photos of our stay there, but once I get them I'll try and post them!

In Greece we stayed in Platania and Athens. A good chunk of our stay took place in the mountains a.k.a. Platania. It was fun there, being able to learn more Greek, and spending time with my grandparents. We also had lots of visitors too. And my Uncle from Canada visited with his friend which was AWESOME!!!!!!! My cousin that lives in Athens came to Platania too. He's really funny!

Towards the end of our stay we drove back to Athens, we went to the Acropolis Museum. That was 2 gigantic thumbs up! It was really really cool. Looking at all the statues and carvings.

Overall the vacation was an amazing experience. 

School is exciting. It's my first year of middle school and I'm having a blast! Switching classes and seeing my friends everyday! There is always something new happening whether it's during Math class or my friends and me sitting around the lunch table.

I think I've updated you on as much as I can think of off the top my mind...

Happy Valentine's Day!

My favorite holiday (next to Christmas) is Valentine's Day! February is the perfect month for this "lovely" holiday! So, this post deserves red text!

I have to admit I don't have a great reason why I like Valentine's Day. It's not that I don't like red or pink. I just love Valentine's Day! Also, groundhog day is in February. The groundhog with the very complicated name is our fortune teller that tells us if we are going to have an EARLY Spring or an extra long winter... I find it ironic that the groundhog didn't see its shadow (which I think means early spring) and Chicago got a blizzard... ironic isn't it?!

My friends and I, after the blizzard, went sledding in 2 foot deep snow. It was really fun, because I kept on running over one of my friends.... oops. Anyway, afterwards we had some hot chocolate and watched T.VI was tired out. We had a snow day at school that day... and the next one too. I was super happy! I had a great time the next day with my friend that I kept on running over with my sled! We made these really demented friendship bracelets in my room. It was really funny when we finished them!

I hope Valentine's Day is going to be AWESOME!!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
