Today I missed school yet again for a cross-country meet. I will make this short and sweet. We left the school at 9am, and I ran my race at 10:30am and finished way before 11am. Then, we left the park to go back to school at 4:30pm, which means that I had to wait around for the whole day and miss school without doing anything. Although I did partake in the crowd who cheered for the competitors, I felt that I should have simply ran my race and ask my parents to pick me up afterwards. The good part is that I placed 33rd individually, and the team (Grade 9 Midget Girls) placed 3rd which we were awarded with a bronze medal. I am happy to announce that I will be advancing to the City Championships next Tuesday at Centennial Park! Yeah!
I got home quite late today since I had to go to Kumon Math class after the meet. Up until late tonight, I did not get a chance to call a classmate to see what happened today in class. I checked the daily log and apparently it was simply a lot of homework review. Tonight I mainly focused on perfecting and memorizing my Gr 9 Elections speech. It is truly a lot of pressure, because many people mentioned that they are going to base their decision on this speech (which I feel is complete nonsense since we are capped at a one minute time limit) There is simply not much time to say what I want to say to my classmates. Regardless, the other candidates are on the same boat as me so I will make the best out of this situation. Whether I win or lose, I found that what I truly got out of this week of intensive campaigning was the experience of meeting many of the students in Grade 9, especially those who are not enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program.
I did not get to review my homework today, but what I did get a chance to finish was print out all my HTML & CSS codes and my programming codes. Well, I suppose I feel accomplished tonight to some degree.
Look forward to tomorrow!
