Hi! It’s been a long time since I wrote in tblog. I haven’t written in like maybe 9 days, or something like that. I guess I really miss it alot though. There are two reasons why I haven’t written in a while: 1.My computer kept crashing. 2. I had studying to do as this week is my exam week. I only really had to study for economics. It’s not like I took alot of time to study. In all there are 4 exams that us sec.5’s have to take. Math, French, English, and Economics. Yesterday was my english exam which was very easy, and today was my french and economics exam. I am not too sure how they went though. My french exam consisted of two parts, which both had multiple choice questions. The two parts were the listening and the reading. I wasn’t stressed when my exam first started. The first part of my exam (the listening) went pretty well, but the second one made me feel sick to my stomach. I was the last one out of the class. I was so nervous. I kept looking at the time, knowing that I wouldn’t finish in time. My problem with french reading is that I have to read something twice in order for me to understand it. They gave me 10 minutes more to finish my exam. Even the people who didn’t know french left before I did. Still, the time wasn’t enough and I found myself circling any answers that I didn’t even know, as I was too stressed. After the exam, I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, and wanted to cry, but I held it together and didn’t. Sounds stupid, but I ended up having a ringing sound in my ears and my body seemed weak. I got my money for my lunch and went to the cafeteria. When I got there I sat down with my friends and didnt do anything, still hearing that ringing sound in my ears. Then, it all stopped. I got my lunch and sat down, and we had an interesting conversation, yet I forget what about. My mind was off of the french exam, and onto the economics exam. I tried to study a bit more, but I felt like I couldn’t learn anything from just staring at a book with words, and not much strength to study. I seem to find myself wanting to talk about Mariano and not economics. I didn’t tell you guys that I finally told him that I liked him. Well, I did. And now I feel so great just doing so. He told me that he also liked me, but that he didn’t want a love relationship with me as he is going to Mexico in the summer and doesn’t want to leave with a broken heart. I feel exactly the same way. He’s just so adorable, that sometimes he just makes my heart melt. I wish he wasn’t leaving this summer. Who knows when I’ll see him after that. Three years? I really hope not. I wish it could be sooner. I miss him already. I also just found out that Nathasha is moving on March 15t^h, and I am so upset. She is a really good friend of mine, and I don’t want her to go, but thats life. People come, people go, they make friends, then have to see them go, they make more friends, and then they themselves end up leaving. That really sucks. I wish I could just pack my friends along with me where ever I go, but it just isn’t that simple. Everyone has their own paths to take, but in the end we will all still be friends. Probably not as close as we used to be, but their will always be that connection between us, cause no matter what, we’ll be there for each other. Yup, they’re all invited to my wedding, whenever that is, whether it’d be in 10 years or 20, and I’m sure they wouldn’t miss it. Back to my day. My economics exam was so hard! I thought it would be easy. My grades are pretty good, yet again the time was too little. At the end, I was still there stressed, just like my french exam... and my teacher came to me and saw that I was stuck on a question, and he actually told me the answer to the question that I was stuck on, and told me not to tell anyone. I guess it’s all right to talk about it in tblog. The only person that I know who reads it sometimes is Dai, and well maybe Mariano. I don’t care if Mariano reads it anymore. There is nothing that I don’t want him to know anyways. Mr.Eems is such a nice teacher. He tries his best to make everyone succeed in his class.. and he does an amazing job. He makes everyone understand things clearly and he’s the best teacher that I have ever had. I actually enjoy going to his class. After my exam we walked to the bus stop and along the way we had a snow ball fight. It was really funny. I actually through Dai into the snow. I’m so glad she wasn’t mad. Then when we were waiting for the bus inside the building, Mariano, Jess, and I played monkey in the middle with a mitten. It was so funny. One time Mariano and I both ran after the mitten, and we slipped, and I got my coat wet. It was so fun, and hilarious too. Then we got on the 7 bus. When we got off, I saw Nathasha and scared her. She goes to college and I don’t usually see her too often around her school. Anyways, I told her to come and we all were chasing after our bus. It was so funny. The bus had already left but it had stopped as there was traffic. Jess and Dai were about to get on the wrong bus, and laugh when they realized it. The bus was just in front of the other. We ran to the correct bus, the 87, and the bus driver wouldn’t let us on. Then we ran back and took the 79 bus instead. Tomorrow is a day off for me, as there are no exams, and Thursday I have my math exam so I will be doing my memory aid tomorrow. This time, "hopefully" I don’t get stressed out. I’m crossing my fingers for this one. I better pass it. Besides it should be easy. Then, on Friday we are going to Kims’ house. We’re having a girly girl party and we’re gonna do our nails, hair, and some makeovers. We’re also gonna take some picures. It’s gonna be fun. Oh, and next week is the Quebec Carnival. It starts on the 30^th, and we have a snowman mascot called Bonhomme Carnival. He isn’t the original mascot, as the original one retired last year and they had to get a replacement. Anyways, what is usually at the carnival are igloos, ice sculptures, parades, people blowing the long red carnival horns, the glissade (its a place to go sliding), a sliding hill with tubes to go on, a place where you go listen to music and play games and win stuff, and also a free food court. It is such a great place for friends and family to enjoy a nice long day outside, and, well, inside as many activities happen indoors. I can’t wait. Well.. bye bye!  luv becca-ru
