Today is the last day of this semester, which also means that half year had passed. We are half way through  our ninth grade year. Today is also the first day of school after the Chinese New Year. When I woke up today, I felt so tired, because I slept till 11 for the last week, and now back to work,  I have to wake up at 6, which killing me. During Chemistry class today, we retook the final test. I think it is because everyone did very bad on the exam. Most people didn't even pass the test. So the teacher decided to let us redo the test. I got pretty good score for the redo, which is about thirty points higher than my previous one. My total grade rose up again. Even though I still don't have A, but I am satisfy with my score now. I was writing my essay today, and my topic is about lack of sleep. Teenagers should have at least 8 hours of sleep per day, but I think that is kind of impossible for me during school days. I think my average is about 5 to 6 hours per day. I think I should better go sleep now. Good Night!

After a week of break, I really felt that I should totally run away from school, because it felt so good that I don't have to go to wake up at six everyday and spend my whole day trying not to fall asleep. Last week is Chinese New Year. The best thing about Chinese New year is the red envelopes. But this year, I missed one envelope from my uncle, because he didn't come back to eat hot pot with us. Other than the red envelopes, I had a great time celebrating Chinese New year. I stayed in my grandmother's house for two days. We had our wonderful dinner at the last meal of the year of 2011 according to the lunar calendar. Second day of the new year, we went to visit my mother's family. I played with my four little cousins. It was kind of too noisy when four of them shouted and yelled at the same time. But they are all very cute and sweet. The next day, we went to a temple with my grandmother. It was very crowded, there were hundreds of people there wanted to bless for the new year. I still can't believe that our break is gone, time passes so fast. School starts tomorrow, so everyone good luck!

My sister was supposed to come back to Taiwan today. She is now studying in Russia. The last time I saw her was in summer. She went to Russia in September and started her freshmen year in college. Every time when I tell people that my sister is in Russia, they were like "what, why did your sister go to Russia." Then I have explain that she is major in piano in Moscow Conservatory. She had planned to come back to Taiwan since the day she went to Moscow. Because Sunday is the Chinese New year. It is the biggest holiday in Taiwan. It's the day for family members to gather together and celebrate for the new coming year. My sister had bought the plane tickets and was ready to come back. But on Monday, she told my mom that she lost her visa. She said that she put it in the passport, but it was gone now. So if she left Russia now with out the visa, she can't go back for five years....

I was very unlucky today. I had headache during the English test, so I can't really concentrate or think fully when doing the test. The good thing is that I think the final exam is easier than the midterm exam. There were only about 5 of the multiple choice that I don't know. I was pretty sure about the rest of the multiple choices. One other thing that made me kind of want to cry is that on the study guid sheet that the teacher gave us, says that vocabulary will be tested on Thursday, which was tomorrow. So I didn't spend much time studying the vocabulary. But today when the teacher handed out the test, some of my classmates were like "what, I thought the vocabulary is on tomorrow's test," which was the same as what I thought. For today's exam, I didn't do well on the vocabulary part, but I think I did a good gob on the other parts. Hope the I can do well tomorrow as well.

I went to sleep at 1 today, and woke about at 4 to study Chemistry. I only slept for three hours this night. I felt so tiring the entire day. During the second period is the Chemistry test. It was so hard. After the test, everyone was like, I hope I can get 40, I hope I can get higher than 50. The test was too focus on small no important details. I was very depressed after the test, because the reason why I woke up at four to study was want a better grade. But apparently it is impossible to get higher than seventy. One other thing that made me mad is that I am in regular Chemistry, so no doubts, our tests should be easier that the honor class. But today, I heard that the honor tests were easier than ours, which made me want to cry. Tomorrow is the English test. I hope that I can finish the test before the bell ring.

I had my history final exam during the second period today. There were total fifteen questions, so each question is worth about 7 points. So if I got two wrongs, my A is basically gone. All the questions are like essay questions, and all are very broad topics. When I took the tests, I think I know all there answers, but after the test, I started to think about that maybe this one is wrong or I should put more on this one. I really hope that the teacher won't grade the test to detailed. I hope that he will me points as long as I get the basic idea of the questions. Tomorrow is the Chemistry exam, which is the one I am worried about the most. Last time i did a really bad job on the midterm. I really hope that I can do well on the final. Jia Yo!

I am a total nerd today. I didn't go out today. I stayed home and studied for the whole day. I have six finals in total, one in tomorrow, which is history. I studied history for the whole day, and some chemistry, because after history is chemistry test. I know that some people said that don't worry too much, just do your best. But I can't really stop worrying about my tests. Even though it is just a single test, but it can effect the total grade easily. Lower than nighty, that means your A is gone. I hope that I can do well on all the exams and get rid of the Bs. Other than studying, I didn't do anything special today. Like every others, I had three meals, and I watched about fifteen minutes of TV to relax after studying for hours. Basically, I am a nerd today.

Finally, its Thursday, one more day before the weekend. But unfortunately, I will live like a nerd this weekend. All I can do this weekend is study and study, because next week is the final exam week. I have to do good on those tests, there is no other choices. I have six exams next week, including History, Chemistry, English, Expository Writing, Geometry and Spanish. Chemistry and English are the two subjects that I am worry about the most. Last time, I didn't do well on English Mid-term. I didn't get to finish the exam, and I left two essay questions blank. Also there was one whole page, I just randomly chose the answers, because I really had no time to finish the test. I hope that next week I can do well on every subjects, even though I know that It is impossible to get all above nighty, but I will work very hard to achieve my goal.

I was searching for quotes today, and I found some very good quotes about friendship. 
"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." I like this quote a lot, because I'd heard that to determine whether a person is a good friend or not, is when you are facing troubles or difficulties. If the person walks out just like the others, then she is not a good friend. But if she stays with you and helps, then she is a good friend. A trustworthy friend. 
"Friendship is delicate as a glass, once broken it can be fixed but there will always be cracks." This quote is my favorite one. Even though people are always saying that best friends forever, but I don't believed that there is such thing as best friends forever. Everyone has ambitions, everyone wants to be the one that takes control of others. There is a friend of my, she seems friendly at first, but after knowing her, you will know that she is always saying bad things about others. But the crazy part is that she can be talking about how bad this person is this second, but next second she will be holding the person's hand saying that we are friends. I really hate her doing this kind of things. I hope she can change.

I was very sleepy and tired today. On the way to school, I fall asleep and I had a hard timing waking up. Also during the last period, which was Spanish class, I could not concentrate, because my eyes were barely opened. I started to dream about weird things. Like I was thinking about eating Tempura, which is one of my favorite food. After dreaming and dazing for an hour, the school finally ended. 
To be honest I don't know what to write about now, so I went google for topics. This time the first thing I saw that is interesting is what things did I take it seriously? I would say lying and when others don't take people's bad feelings seriously. I hate people lie to me. I rather hear the truth instead of believing the fake things but later on discover that it was just a lie. I hate that when I tell something that upsets me, but the person starts to tease at me about what I just told. That made me really want to punch him right on his face.

Today is an unlucky day. Second period today, we had history class. The teacher handed back the test from a month ago, which was about French Revolution. When I took the test, I was confident that I can get above nighty. But the result came out today, it was way lower than what I'd expected. I got a nighty three last time and i thought I can get higher this time. But I didn't. I was very depressed the whole day. After school, I had swimming team. I haven't swim for about a month and the competition is in February. We have to work harder and start practicing more. But when I swam today, I felt like my bones are falling apart and I got tired so easily. I guess this is what I get for being lazy and not show up on practice... Today is the worst day ever in my life. I hope that the following days, weeks, years can be better than today. And I hope I can win in the competition.

To be honest, I really don't know what to write about today. Today was a boring day. I spent the whole day doing my homework, because I didn't do any yesterday. We go to Taipei every Saturday to visit my grandmother. After my grandfather died and my sister went to Moscow, my grandmother lives alone. We had asked her many times to come live in Hsinchu with us, so we can take care of her. But she refuses every time. We even asked her to come live with us just once a week or a month, but she refuses too. Yesterday, we went to Taipei to visit her. When we arrived she was taking to my sister using FaceTime. We entered the conversation. The technology today is so advanced, we can talk to my sister, who is studying in Moscow, face to face. Maybe one day, we will have a door that can take us to anywhere on earth. All we need to do is tell the door where we want to go then open the door  and walk in. With all the advanced technology, there is nothing impossible, everything is possible.

I heard some stories about teacher today during my Chinese class. My Chinese teacher has always being my favorite teacher. She is very outspoken and she is more like a friend then a teacher. I asked her about her new year wish today, and she told me that she hope the she won't get sue by parents this new year. She told me that many people have biases in teachers. People often think that being a teacher is a easy job, because you get the summer break and the Chinese new yea vocations. But she told me that being a teacher is actually a tuff job today. Because they have to face all different parents every single day. She told me that there is a very nice and kind teacher in her school got sue by the parents and told the teacher to kneel down on her knees in order to forgive her. But the thing is that the teacher didn't do anything wrong. She was just giving extra help for the student, but the parents misunderstood her motive.

My friend and I have been thinking about what we want to do if the end of the world theory is true. If I only have one day to live the first thing I am going to do is sky diving. I always want to try that. I saw it on TV and it looks fun. You can jump off a plane and fly all the way down onto the ground. The next thing that I would want to do is go eat. My favorite food on Earth is tempura. There are many different ways of cooking tempura. My favorites are fry tempura and steam tempura with special sauce. I can eat ten bowls of tempura. After eating the most delicious food, I am going to watch movies. I want to watch three movies in a role. All are about mystery, detective, and some kind of secret missions, but not fiction. The last thing I am going to do on my last day is to go up to all the people that I don't really like. And tell them why I don't like them and where they should be improved on, so they can have more people liking them. That's it! My last day on Earth!

I have been thinking about what I am going to be when I grow up. Many of people around me already know what they want to be when they grow up. My sister knew what she wants to be when she was only in grade 4. And now she is getting closer and closer to achieve her goal. Some of my classmates know their future gobs too. Some of them want to be a doctor, a psychologist, a artist, a lawyer, a business man.... many different dreams and goals. Every time I hear people talking about their future jobs, I got depressed and sad, because I don't know what I want to be when I grew up. When I was little I used to changed my want to be job every month or week. But I think now is the time for me to get  an interest and decide what I want to be when I grew up. I am really jealous of people that already know what they want to be and has a lot of passions in it even after many years and faces many failures. So I really hope that I can find a goal, and I can proudly achieve it one day! This is my new year with...:)

Our Christmas break had ended. It was the best Christmas break I'd ever had in my life. The first five days of the break, I went to Japan to ski. It was my first time skiing. I had a lot of fun and I can actually ski now. The teacher said that my friend and I had talent and we learn quicker than most people. After coming back from Japan, my child hood friend came to visit us. She is my best friend since 3, but her family immigrated to America five years ago. Her family came to visit us and lived in our house for a week. Even though we had separated for so long, but I feel like we were still close together. We chatted all night and talked about the games we used to play when we were little. We watched dramas together and shared our comments about the plot. The last day of 2011, we went to Taipei together. We went to many places to buy stuffs. At night, I went to her grandmother's house with her. She taught me how to play  Mahjong. It was so fun even though we kept losing. The last day of 2011 was the best day ever in my life. It was also a happy ending of the year 2011. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
