YOU + ME = LOVE?
You ask me how I feel about you.
I wouldn't say that I don't like you..

This picture's for you.
I told you I could do it.

Sho I look scary in pictures. Not the point. Received three awards from Chinese school. That's one more than last year :) but it was my first year not getting straight A's ):

I have a feeling I'm going to be seeing some C+'s on my actual school report card this term.. freak. I didn't even get an A for Japanese. Did I really get 99% last year? I've always gotten an A in Japanese. Japanese was always my best class. Very--- very-- very- sad. And I want to take Japanese HL and the JLPT again next year? Pshh, I thought I was sho good.

Oh well. The year's over. Sign my yearbook Monday (:``yourone&only.

I'm not even going to try thumbnail-ing all my pictures before editing.. there are too many and I'm too tired. Going to post them all on Facebook some day. Yeah, some day ;p

DAY 1: Wednesday, June 13 (Introduction/SDS)
Got my wake up call from Clara at 4:22 am.. which was late.. her mom had to wake her up. Gave wake up call to Enoch. Went to school on time.. I think. I was on bus #1 (: Arrived at Tsawwassen early and waited around forever to board the ferry. Others ate their snack (which looked more like lunch..) and I bought my lunch to save until noon. Took 'professional' pictures on the deckk and then watched cartoons. Arrived at Swartz Bay and took another bus to Pearson College. Mm.. along the way took pictures of people. Arrived at Pearson and picked our dorms. Clara and I roomed with Rena and Vivian in Victoria House. We were in room #5 which was AWEESOMEE. There were two beds further into the room ('top of the room') and two beds closer to the door ('bottom fot he room'). One of the beds from the 'top' and one from the 'bottom' were separated by a wooden sliding panel. You could slide it close so you didn't see that top/bottom bed from the other side or open it so you can see (: heheh. Anyways. Four closets for us four, and they were very very pretty. Each bed had a light on the wall. We were near the washroom, very convenient! Anyways.. ;p Then did the Four Area Survey.. went to the stream first, EW. My least favourite place. Second was field. Very nice.. although there was like nothing to look at. We got to eat our lunch there! heheh, a nice place to eat. I wouldn't want to eat at the stream. For some reason, Neo and Terence ditched their group and ended up following us heh. The third area was the intertidal, my favourite place. The mountain was the last area. Don't like it very much.. but don't mind doing any research there.. except for the ant hill x _ O. Suu I did my Self-Directed Study (SDS) at the intertidal! heheh (: collected water and rocks, very simple experiment XD but the pH stuff took a long time in the lab. Dinner was lasagna, garlic bread (or I thought it was anyways), and fruits/vegetables. After dinner we continued with SDS but I finished near the beginning suu we played. We weren't allowed to stay in our rooms to sleep.. blah. Oh well, played on the swings.. took some pictures. Then for evening activities, I watched the guys play some basketball, took some pictures, and then played some volleyball <3. Mug up was very nice. Hot chocolate was yummmy .. cause all the sugar was stuck to the bottom of the cup ;p wasn't very sweet and that was good. Went to dorms and had lights out at 10:45 pm but kept talking untill past midnight or something zzz. Lots to gossip ;D

DAY 2: Thursday, June 14 (Group 4 Project)
Planned on waking up at 6:00 am to shower but Clara went back to sleep after her alarm so I did too XD. Our wake up call was 6:30 am, so we had 30 minutes to prepare and we took a shower anyways. Breakfast was sausages, eggs, hashbrowns/potato pieces, cereal, and yogurt. We started our Group 4 Project after breakfast. In my group were Nicholas (biology), Neal (biology, chemistry), Nancy (biology, chemistry), Clara (physics), and Yu Meng (chemistry, physics). Somehow.. Clara and I got the idea that we were going to go to the intertidal but the guys thought we were going to the stream.. suu they led us to the stream and we were like.. huhh.. how come it's taking so long? 'Cause the intertidal is very close to the buildings but the stream is like a ten minute walk through the forest. Yeahh.. and not only the stream, but the very very far/deep part where it's alllll muddy. and since I thought we were going to the intertidal, I didn't prepare for the wetness/muddiness/dirtiness. It was VERY VERY VERY muddy. Nicholas and Neal took off their shoes and walked barefoot. We were walking and walking and walking and our shoes got muddier and muddier and muddier. We would get stuck and had to keep trying to pull our feet and shoes up. Clara would keep pullllling and then fall forward ): We went farrrrrrr out near where the stream connected to the intertidal. It was more than 400 meters. At every 40 meters, chemists took a water sample, biologists took a population sample, and physicists recorded the water current. So after three hours of that, Clara and I headed back to our cabin. We dumped everything we wore, even shos, into the bath tub and soaked the mud out. Then we finally went to lunch! My favourite meal out of the three days, it was taco with some kinda meat (beef?) and cheese annd beans, bananaanana/apple, and vegetable salad. Loved the tacos! but this time I didn't have time to get seconds ): Afterwards we got ready for our second trip to the stream.. but unfortunately (or fortunately? ;p) the tide was high and the stream was flooded and that would ruin our experiment so we had to continue it the next day. Had some free time since we couldn't do our Group 4 (but really, we should be doing SDS or somehow working on the Group 4 without needing to be at the site.. says Willard/Gabbot). Dinner was at 6:00 pm. Not my favourite meal.. but it was alright: whole wheat (ew) bread, corn, other vegetables, baked potato, and chicken .. breasts? I couldn't tell. HOWEVER, the desert was delicious! Icecream! I had two servings muahAHAHA. With lots of sprinkles, chocolate chip, marshmallows, and some chocolate syrup. After dinner, suppose to work on Group 4, but couldn't because of the tide so fooled around more! heh. Oh yeah, we had to clean the bath tub.. drain out the water and collect all the mud so it doesn't go down the drain. Let's just say it was very tiring and time consuming. Did it before dinner and after dinner. Suu.. went to intertidal and saw people skipping stones! I tried and I could finally make a stone skip two times! ;D I have never succeeded before. Bryan skipped one that was like twenty times or something! It went farrrr... suu awesome. For evening activities I played vollllllleyball! Mug up again, not very.. mm.. enthusiastic this time. Lights out on time and didn't sleep very late.

DAY 3: Friday, June 15 (SDS/Group 4 Project)
Again, was going to wake up early to shower but, again, we slept. I took a shower anyways.. and then ate breakfast: pancakes, bacon, and hashbrowns/potatoes <--love. After breakfast, had to pack ): All my dirty clothes and stuff were washed.. but wetttt. When done packing, we could work on SDS or Group 4. We definitely had to work on Group 4. So we decided to measure out the whole river and I being a chemist, will take water samples and go to the lab to calculate the salt (we've got a coooool method, unlike boiling.. ;p) while the biologists and physicists continued working at the stream. The chemistry part surprisingly did not take as long as the previous day, there were not many samples to work with for this day. After submitting our work for SDS and Group 4, lunch was served! Some kind of noodle and bean soup -- very good, beef salami/cheese/ham and pineapple pizza, and vegetable/fruits. I took two slices of pizza and Nancy gave me one piece.. suu I had three pieces and I couldn't finish one of them. I packed it so I could eat it on the bus ;D the teachers made sure we ate everything we put on our plate ._.`` after lunch, nothing exciting happened.. we bussed to the ferries, we ferried back, bussed to Churchill, and got a ride home from .. John's.. friend. Yay, home!
