I am so happy. It is finally the holidays. I have been waiting for the holidayz since last holidayz which was 10 weeks ago. The whole learningl hasnt been that tuff but it feels like my brain is about to explode.
I think it's because our blocks are 1 hour and 15 minutes long! The last half our of the block goes soooooooooooooooo slow it's unbearable.
It's the worst in Maths. Firstly, because I'm always seated next to people that are set out to annoy me. & Secondly, why the heck do I need to know the area of a cylinder, it's not like when Im older my profession will be to measure spagetti cans.
In Drama this term I have written more than I have in all my other subjects (literally...........maybe not german)! IT'S CRAZY STUFF!
But anyway Im so happy cause tomorrow is my last day. Tonight I have felt the most relaxed I felt in ages. I dont have any annoying homework (except my blog but that isnt counted), and I dont have any test to study for. It's great!
On friday I'm going to stay at my sister's for just ova a week. It'll be awesome, catching up with some friends that i havn't seen for ages. AND SPENDING TIME WITHOUT MY PARENTS.

THE ZOO
Do you have that weird thing happen to you. Like whenever you go somewhere the same thing happens. I do, everytime I go to the ZOO it rains or a least spits. Today was a warm Autum day, there were almost no clouds in the sky, buuuuuuuttttttttttttt of cause since I was at the ZOO it spitted. It's so werid, i;ve been going to the ZOO for the past fourteen years and i cant remember a time when it hasnt rained.
The ZOO is a awesome place to run around in and have HEEaps of fun.
We mostly just ran around the ZOO and stopped at whatever animal we found interesting.
But Drew was more interested in the animals, he wanted to get in close contact with the wild life. But the only way he could do this was by sticking his hand into the mere-cat inclosure. One thing lead to another, and Drew ended up getting Bitten by a Mere- Cat. I knew something random would happen to Drew or he'd do something weird, but I would never have thought he would get bitten by a Mere- Cat! While Drew had his hand in the mere- cat inclosure Steph was taking a picker of the cats. In the background of Steph's photo, you can Drews arm dangling down the edge of the wall and Mere-cat inches away from his fingers ready to pounce.
Later in the day Drew had to go get a Teqness (spelling??) Shot. Gutts for him!!!
Today was all about finding out about indangered species. So we listened to a presentation about New Zealand indangered species. But to be perfectly honest I dont really care much for learning about New Zealand. All I care about is our Rugby team winning their games.
But the rest of the day was good.....

sNoW bOaRdInG!!!!!!!!
Last year around July I started SnowBoarding. I started when my sister who had been Boarding for that last two years, took me to Planet. It was alot of fun but of course i spent most of the time on my Butt. When the couple of hours was over I walked out of the slope soaked and with ice ball everywhere,..... in my pockets, in my gloves and attached to my jacket.
But i never gave up on SnowBoarding, so a little over two months later I bought a Board and started regularly going for boards. My board is awesome, it's Green, Blue and White, with all these cool designs on it like a seahorse, a peace sign, a weird lady and heaps of "BURTON" labels on it, etc! I'm not that very good at SnowBoarding cause I only go for a board ever second week, which is really anoying. But oh well i still love it.
When I first started learning, my friends Crystal and Trent started learning, which was pretty cool cause we were at the came level. But there real good now. Crystal has "Freestyle" lessons and trent is a guy so he has no fear. So now there waaaaayyyy better than me now. Which is okay cause they can just teach me stuff. (haha suckers)
Last night I went for the first time in 2 months. It was on a wednesday night so it was awesome. The reason for this was because, on Wednesday nights all the pro go. The majority of people there at this time are between the ages of 17- 24ish. This I great because there are no anoying learner people blocking you way.
And it's awesome to watch. All you hear on the slope are SnowBoards scrapping along the snow, the smack of the Boards hitting the the snow after they've been in the air, and the boards scrapping along rails.
It's even better to watch. Hot guys in their different Snow Gear, doing mean as tricks on the jumps and rails, like Flips off the kicker, 360's off the flate down, c- rail (etc) and jumps, etc!
Last night I did the car, it's a car in the slope with a plastic top over it. When Crystal was trying to get me to do it I was really nerves, but when I did do it, it was GREAT!!!! (though the first time i landed in my butt when I landed.) It was really really really really easy. Afterwards it felt so great knowing that there is something new I could do. Cause I was getting kinda bored of what I'd been doing.
I LOVE SNOWBOARDING!!!

EMOTIONS I FELT WHEN READING "CHINESE CINDERELLA"
Chinese Cinderella is an amazing Autobiography on the childhood of Adeline Yen Mah. During the time I read Chinese Cinderella I felt many different emotions. Firstly I felt Horror, I next felt hatred, and I also felt Happiness. In this essay I will explain why I felt this way.
Many times throughout Chinese Cinderella I felt Absolute horror.
For example when Adeline was being taken by her Father and Stepmother to a Boarding School in Tianjin, Adeline’s father had to fill out a form about Adeline. I felt horror when he turned to Adeline and said to her, “I’m afraid I’ve forgotten your Chinese name, is it
Jun-qing?” Adeline then expresses in her Autobiography ‘a pang went through. I meant so little to him; I was such a nobody that he didn’t even remember my name!’ “No father. That’s little sister’s name. Mine is Jun-ling.”
He then goes on to ask, her date of birth, but she does not know this because he has never allowed her to celebrate her birthday. This makes me so angry to know that a father could know so little about his own child. How could he make his child feel meaningless and like a nobody?
While reading Chinese Cinderella I felt hatred for many of the characters.
An example of this was when Adeline’s class mates had followed her home from school. They wanted to celebrate the victory of her becoming class president. When Adeline’s stepmother heard them she called her into he room, Niang then started screaming at her. Though Adeline explained to Niang that she didn’t invite, Niang continues slapping and accusing her of being a liar and a show off. Niang then sends her down to her friends to tell them they must go home. When Adeline approaches her class mates she realizes that she has blood dripping from her nose and that they had heard every harsh word and every slap Niang had inflicted on her.
This makes me feel hatred for Niang because she went to ever extent possible to make Adeline feel unwanted and alone. She didn’t want anyone to know that she has stepchildren. She wanted to look like a perfect Wife with two children. Not two children and five stepchildren.
I did not only feel miserable emotions through out reading Chinese Cinderella. I also felt happiness. I felt this way, when Adeline finally got what she had wanted her entire life. After winning a international playing writing competition her father was finally proud to have her as a daughter. He then allowed her to attend University in England. This made me feel Happy because throughout the novel I felt the pain and misery she expressed. But now that she was truly happy for the first time in her life. It made me feel happy that she received the happiness and love that she had deserved her whole life.
In conclusion I felt different strong emotions while reading different events that occurred in Chinese Cinderella. I felt Anger, Hatred, and Happiness. From reading Adeline’s feelings and emotions I felt he pain and her happiness.
