It's Finally Here

It's finally here. Vacation! Tomorrow my family and I plan to leave super early "before sunrise" which is not too good. I don't want to wake up super early, but you know since it's a 10 hour drive to Salt Lake City I'll do it! I hope vacation is fun, I don't know why but I'm really eager to see the hotels, and not the real thing. I am looking forward to the entire vacation itself though. So after we reach Salt Lake City I think we're going to Yellowstone, I'm not sure. I thought it was a two day drive from where I live, I don't remember though. I'm not looking forward to the car drive there (did I mention that it's a road trip?). My dad said that at Yellowstone we're going to be doing a lot of hiking, and he even said that that was the main point of this trip. I would like to just go sight-seeing because I'm lazy but I'm probably going to go hiking anyway. I think hiking will be fun. I've been to Yellowstone before but it was around 3 - 4 years ago. Since I was a little younger back then, I think I only hiked a few of the trails and stayed in the car with the AC on with my mom. My dad and my brother always were the ones hiking, since my brother's a boy scout I think that's the main reason he actually went hiking. If he had a choice and he didn't want to earn badges I think he would have stayed back; but I don't know. I'm really looking forward to going to Yellowstone!

My Friend From 2 1/2 Years Ago

Around 2 and a half years ago I met a friend named Monica. She was very nice, but after the school year ended she spent one year in China and now lives in Singapore. For Summer vacation her mom and her decided to come to the U.S.A for around a month. Since I hadn't seen her in so long, the moment I saw her (at a restaurant where we ate together) I hugged her super hard. I had missed her, but now she is leaving in around 5 days. So I saw her at a nice Chinese restaurant, and we ate and then played at a park, it was about a three hour experience. Then around 2 or 3 days later we had a sleepover, since she was living with her mom's friend. It was super fun, we played a bunch of Mario Kart and other video games. On the day of the sleepover which was a Friday, we went to a park and had lots and lots of fun. At the park, we went on the tire swing, and we did other things. Then, we had a swinging competition. My favorite part of that day was racing up the hill and then rolling down the hill and seeing who could finish the obstacle first. After a few more swing races, we went back to her temporary house. The funny thing was that we actually managed to stay up until around 12:30 A.M. I didn't get a lot of sleep but it was worth it. We did a bunch of pillow fights and everything. On Saturday morning, I played a bit more with her, and then I went home. Then one or two weeks later, we played together again at the same park that we went to on the day of the sleepover. On that day, we did more obstacle courses and we were timing each other, and my sister was there too. We also did the fun hill rolling obstacle, and I gave both of them a 6 second head start but I still managed to win or get 2nd place! Yesterday, which was a Wednesday we saw each other again and ate dinner together. The dinner was incredibly good, and her mother was such a good cook. After dinner we played like an hour of video games, and then I sadly had to go home. It was really fun playing with her.

Only A Few Days

I cannot wait for vacation! It's almost here, it's in about.... let me check my calendar. Only three more days! These few days leading up to vacation day, I've been very bored. So these days I've just been either reading my kindle or watching youtube or playing video games. Most of the time, I've been sleeping. I want to go on vacation, but after vacation it's school. I feel like summer has passed by so quickly. I remember just the last day of school, and now I realize that there's only about 5 more months until Christmas and I still remember 2017 Christmas. I just feel time is going by so quickly, each day passes in a blink.

Vacation Finally!

After my math class is over, I would have finished my musical theater summer camp and my math class. I sadly still have one more week of camp, it's basketball camp. Last year I did basketball camp, and I did it with my friends. All three of us had sore legs for 3 days straight. On the second day last year, we had a playdate and we could barely move for the playdate because of our sore legs. Now, I'm doing it alone with my sister only, and I wanna see if I get sore legs or if I will be fine. Last year it was pretty fun, but not the best. I still can't wait. Hmm.. Is there a name for this blog post? Yes! I'm supposed to be talking about vacation. For vacation my family and I plus my grandparents are going to go to Yellowstone. My family has already been there, but since my grandparents haven't we're going again. In around 2 - 3 weeks from now, we're going to be leaving by car and driving to Yellowstone. It'll be about a 2 week trip, and guess what I've already packed! And the funny thing is, is that my family always goes on road trips, and we rarely go by plane, I've been to basically the entire west side of the U.S.A. because of road trips.

Summer Day (Fun?)

Today is a Saturday, and it's summer. There's never anything to do on Saturdays. Even during school, I had classes on Saturday, but in the summer, Saturdays are just plain boring. On the weekdays of summer I have classes, right? It's fun during the classes (even if it does have to be educational stuff like math), but then after the classes are over I have to play piano and write blog and then do nothing. Oh, but I remembered, I can do my homework! Still, everyone acts like weekends are super fun because there's no school, but when you think about it... If you don't have anything to do at home because you're not on vacation, there's seriously nothing to do. Today, I just talked about how boring Saturdays are, I know I'm so creative. Tomorrow, I might write a blog post on how boring Sundays are. You know..

Summer Math Class

On Monday, I started this match class. We learn math that is around one or two years above our normal math standards. It's a three hour class. In the first hour we learn stuff, and then we have a fifteen minute break. In the fifteen minute break, everyone gets super loud and it's really annoying. Today everyone was talking about some very odd and not very appropriate things. After the weird break we had another math lesson with another teacher, and after that we had break, and then with the forty five minutes remaining we did a test. We do this every single day for two weeks except sometimes for the last 45 minutes we play some games or do something fun. It's okay, I guess but the sad thing is that we have math homework, 20 problems.

Forgetting to Write Blog

On Sunday, I went somewhere, but we came home late because the drive was one hour an thirty minutes. I had not time to write a blog post because it was very late. but it was a very fun day. First we went to this blueberry farm, and we were picking blueberries, we ended up spending $90 on blueberries! But, we also bought this boysenberry jam. The blueberries were $6 for one pint, and we got 9 pints. They were so big and sweet compared to store bought ones. After we went blueberry picking we went to a mall to eat lunch. After lunch we drove to this lake, and we were planning on renting a motorboat to go on the lake. But we didn't find a place to go motor boating, so we just sat there enjoying blueberries, because it would be a waste to drive someplace and then do nothing there. All in all, the trip was pretty fun, but when we drove there I felt like throwing up because we had to drive on mountains. The lake we went to was also very dirty, and there were other people swimming and playing in the lake, but it was gross so we didn't.
