The Jubilee Express!

Hey guys! I know, I know! Stop berating me for not blogging in about 2 weeks. In my defense, I am going to say that I promised to blog until semester 2 didn't start. So ha!

Anyways, on to my blog title! It actually happens to be the title of a book that I was reading yesterday. It was part of a Christmas romance trilogy. Even though Christmas was about 2 months ago, I still enjoyed the book. I guess that it's mainly because Christmas happens to be my favourite holiday.

This long weekend is actually a welcome change from everything I experienced this week. Kind of a rough week, this was for me. This weekend, I actually founf time to do things that I haven't done in quite a while. It also helped (s) that I don't have a lot of work this weekend. So far, I have read an annoyingly big pile of books (most of them focusing on rebellious girls, if I may add), watched 6 movies (2 about superfast humans with powers given to them by an alien, one comedy, 2 murder mysteries and one disgustingly mushy romance). I also, miraculously, found time to clean my room which was starting to look a bit like a pig sty. No jokes!

The only homework I had thins week was to answer a few questions based on the particle theory, research an ancient and might I add, dead, scientist, study for my gym test, prepare notes for my french assesment and finsh my math homewrok. I guess that 'only' isn't the best way to describe my homeowrk, but ...... as I know from experience, it could have been worse!

Adios amigos!

Bonjour Tout le Monde!

I'm brushing up on my French you see. Anyways, I hope that you guys are enjoying all of your new classes. I just thought I'd give you guys a bit of a head up about my classes.

So, I gues I'll start with gym, my homeroom class this semester. So far, I'd have to say that it is really fun. my teacher Ms.Pak is very nice and looks very athletic. I think that gym will be my favourite class this semester.
Ms.Pak also listed a bunch of activities that we will be doing and I am really looking forward to them.

Next, I have science which I honestly think could tie for being my favourite class. My teacher, Mr. Laratt-Smith is very cool and I like what we're going to be studying in science. I just hope that I will not blow my self up with a Bunsen burner or something of that sort. I also sincerely hope that we won't be disecting anything as the sight of a dead animal makes me quesy. I don't think my barf would be a very pretty sight in our science classroom, whaddya think?????

I also have french, which I have to say is turning out to be a bit of a bummer. I mean I love France and french food, and french designers but.....the language is just not my type. I mean, I like french, but it's turning out a bit harder than I though that it would be. And today is only my third day. Je suis tres triste. On a brighter note, my teacher Mlle. Pandurevic is really understanding and doesn't seem to think badly of my insanely disgusting french skills. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to drop french next year without any hesitation!

Last, I have math which is my favouite subject. We haven't really done or learnt anthing special in class unfortunately. Our teacher, Ms. Zagaritis is also nice and has been giving us worksheets on integers to work on. I just hope that we start actual learning soon. I mean, there are only too many worksheets that you can complete in a day.

Anyways, I hope that I do well! Besides, this semester is a welcome change!

Sincerely,
Natasha Jain

Snow Day!

It's snowing! Cha-cha-cha!

Ok, I'll admit, that was uncalled for. I mean it doesn't really make a difference to me if it is a snow day becuase regardless, I have to stay at home. It's sort of boring!

Anyways, the good part is that awoke today to see my entire window covered in sheets of snow. I could barely see outside my window!

We were able to see our exam marks yesterday. I did alright in ICS but I definetely expected higher considering the time I put into studying for the exam.

Cheers,
