Almost done with the mocks!!!!

The mock exams are really giving me confidence! I'm so happy with my results! Eeeeee!!! *moment of happy squeeking*

Here's me during the literature exam:

We went ice skating today instead of PE and it was a lot of fun although I don't know how to skate at all. 

Got a cute owl from Edna-chan, my secret Santa!!! I love Edna-chan. And owls. 

I got inspired by all of those "Sketchbook tour" YouTube videos so I dug out my old school sketchbook that I had from Year 5 to Year 8. So much stuff! I'll make a post about it tomorrow because it's really random, funny and interesting at times. I think I'll also make a post about an old notebook from Year 6 that I also found today. It has a really touching story about Margarita and a very strange one about me and how, I quote, "I've had a hard live. People don't understand. Really...". 

Peter, I will tag you in this post mwahaha! 

Okay bye.

Why and when did you start blogging?

I started blogging in 6th Grade on a Russian children's social networking website and I had 18 followers! I blogged every day of the year, telling people about my first year in Middle School. I guess others found it interesting because I wrote about living in another country and studying in another language. Thanks to that little blog, I met my online friend Lena who I still talk to on Skype sometimes. Back then I was not really into anime and thought that it was weird, but Lena introduced me to it and so I became an otaku! I guess it changed my life in a way. Another "fan" I had was a seven(or so)-year-old Ukrainian girl. It seems like she looked up to me since she told her mother about my blog and both of them would leave comments.
I guess I started blogging back then because the summer of 2010 was pretty boring and the only thing I could do to entertain myself was write. I wrote a lot of fictional stories and created a website on googlesites where I posted them. Everyday blogging was some sort of challenge I set myself because I enjoyed writing so much, I could not live a day without it.
I wanted to carry on writing in that small blog I had, but I found a website called Blogger and decided to carry on writing in English for a bigger audience. I figured out that it would be better because a lot of my friends could see it. I thought it would be a way to keep in touch with those who left (like Katja or Peter).
Sometimes I wonder why I still have this blog. But, hey, I'm almost at 9000 views!

Shopping and Twilight

Yesterday, Franny, Carolina, Emma, Paulina, Ximena and me went to the cinema to watch Twilight.
I ran out of my house to get to the tram, but as soon as I got to the tram stop it left. The next tram was only coming in 6 minutes. At first I decided to wait, but I ended up running to the train station. Franny and Carolina said that they were at Starbucks. Since they weren't there I went inside the train station. Franny called me and we, finally, met up.
The rest of our friends were already at Balexert, buying tickets. I was all excited about it. (Whenever I go to the cinema at Balexert I just can't stop thinking about that time I went there with Peter, even though it was such a long time ago...) I got nachos and a slushy. Yum yum!!!
The movie was.... I don't know how to describe it properly... I was waiting for something to happen, but nothing really did... At some moments I just didn't understand what was going on because some of it was all so fast and unexpected and not at all linked to the story. The fights weren't at all realistic. The characters didn't act at all. You just couldn't tell if the main character Bella was sad or happy or depressed because she had the same face on all the time. The story was complicated. Sometimes there was too much action that you just couldn't keep track of it. And sometimes there was no action at all and it was boring.
The movie messed up my good mood and by the time we went shopping I just wanted to go home. While Carolina and Franny were at the makeup store, I was on my own outside. I didn't feel like looking at all the lotions and masks and perfume bottles. I started getting bored so I decided to get to the book store. On my way there I stopped and thought carefully about what I was doing. I thought about them looking for me and getting worried because they wouldn't find me. I thought that it wouldn't be at all nice to leave them there. I thought that they actually cared about me and I only cared about myself. I ended up thinking that I was selfish so I went back, finding Franny looking for me.
 After that, all of us went to Clair's. I wondered there for a while and came up with a conclusion that none of it was interesting  to me. So I went outside again. Before I knew what I was doing I found myself walking to the book store. I stopped myself once again. And thought about it all. I decided not to go there.
After about 30 mins Franny walked out of Clair's and started calling me. I could see her, but she couldn't see me. Slowly, I made my way towards her.
Franny and all the rest of us went to Lush. Less than a minute after I sneaked away with Carolina. We ended up at the stationary shop looking at post cards and pens. There was a very cute purple post card with two owls on it. It said "Special friend" on it. I wanted to buy it, but then I thought, who I should give it to, and not finding such person, put it back on the shelf.
Franny found us quickly. After going to the CASA store (where they sell things you can decorate your house with) I, finally had a chance to go to the book shop.
I spent a lot of time looking for Enligh books. When I found them I realised that almost all of them were fiction books. Since I don't really like fiction I decided to go and look at the manga books near by. At least a quarter of them were Hentai (pornography) and the rest were the ones with strange characters (like Naruto). I didn't find anything I knew. I gave up my hope on finding a good book so I went to look at the DVDs. I ended up going outside, stalking Franny and Carolina who were looking for me, thinking why I'm treating them that way.
I went home, very tired. I didn't buy anything while the others bought loads. Weird...

It's gona be Friday, Friday. End of school on Friday! Everybody's looking forward to the holidaays!

We went on a field trip today. It wasn't one of the best ones. The place was really nice.
We were divided into groups. Half of us went tree climbing and the other half went to this sledging thing. It's like a roller coster.

It's like at the picture only without the snow.
It was really fun. the first time I went with Yasmin and we were really scared. It was Yasmin's first time and my second. It was very steep and had many turns. The second time we were singing the ABC song and "the final countdown". After three rides with Yaz I went down by myself two times without braking. Then I went down with Franny at full speed. I felt kind of dizzy after all that.
We had lunch next. Since I was hot lunch the school provided me with a picnic lunch. I had a ham sandwich with butter, chips, an apple and a farmer bar that I traded for a twix. Yasmin gave me two pieces of pizza and I had some of Franny's cherries.
After lunch we went to tree climbing. It was really boring. I usually love tree climbing. It was very fun when I first went there with the summer camp and it was a m a z i n g at Peter's birthday party last year. There where too many people (it felt just like The Hunger Games) and the level of difficulty went from black to green. There was even a really hard one on which I cried. I was stuck on that one for like 20 mins and so did Yasmin. When the two of us came down (Franny was behind us for some reason) we decided to go on a very easy track that was actually made for little kids. Together we went on the zip-line about five times and Liddy took pictures of us using Franny's camera.
The bus ride made me feel sick. Since the school buses went to get the 8th graders from Europa Park we had to ride on these other ones.
After school Franny and I decided to go to a cafe. It had a very funny name - Happy Days. It still makes me giggle. XD =D Anna joined us. Even though we waited for our food for a long time I really liked it. My pancakes were delicious and the sirop was great! I took the leftovers home. Franny took tost with eggs and bacon and Anna took crepes. All together we paid for fries.
I went home at 5 and called my Grandma straight away. Had a lot of things to tell her, didn't I? pkht

The first exam

I remember last year our first exam was history too. It was morning and the sun was shining. Many people were crowded in the hallway, chatting nervously. I was nervous too because it was the first exam I had in my life. I don't know why, but tight after the exam when we were allowed to go to the bathroom everybody went. Many girls, sixth, seventh and eighth graders, just stood there talking. Later, Franny gave me a note from Peter that I no longer have. Then we were called to class and I don't remember what happened next.
This year it's different. The rain outside gives you the feeling of afternoon and not morning. Of course there are people in hallway, but the atmosphere is different. There isn't a huge line to the bathroom and the only people there are 7th graders. We laugh with Franny and Jack during the revision period. None of us actually know what we're doing. We should be studying, but all these names and dates to remember just seem funny to us.
The exam starts. I quickly look through it and find a huge text on one of the pages. That just gets me nervous, but when I find out that many questions are multiple-choice I calm down again. I like those types of questions because at least you can guess.
I take out my lucky pin that I brought with me last year. It's a shiny bee with silver wings and a golden body. Suddenly I think of 6th grade again, I think about all my friends that left. I wish they were here with me. Katja, Peter... Even Tess, Liinu and Ali. And maybe even Raul. There's something about these people that left that no one else can replace.
Anyways, the exam went well. It wasn't easy and it wasn't hard. There were some bits I struggled with, but some were very easy. It was nothing like the exam we had last year, but it doesn't mean it was worse than that.
Tomorrow it's our English exam. So wish me good luck!

I want the time to move slowly and... to rush!

Sometimes I just don't want to move on with my life. If I could take myself back in time and stay there forever I would be a 6th grader again. Katja would still be my best friend, I would have lunches with Peter at the top of the Grenier, Yaroslav would talk about bulls on the bus and... It would be better.

I found out that I want to go on a trip around Russia more than anything in the world. It's my best wish now. I would want to go on the trip this summer, but there's nobody to come with me. (Yesterday) at lunch time I was copying the Russian map into my notebook. I didn't plan where to go yet, although I know that there are some places I would really want to visit.
I also want to go on a trip around the world with my cousin, but that can't be possible because I'm 13 and Vasjok is 8. To travel around the world I'm going to have a helicopter. A purple one. With flowers on it (=^_^=).

That's what I wish for. What about you?

The best day of my life

"...paying for the things I never done. Don't don't let go..."
It was the best day of my life today. It's still kind of my birthday. I'm obsessed with "Stereo love". It's such an old song but... Songs like this never get old.
It's the CDL Grand Prix today. So we got to miss Sports. I don't have anything against Sports, but doing nothing and messing around with your friends more fun than that. It was sunny and everyone seemed happy. (In the morning I made Yaz jealous that I saw Mme Farcy and she didn't. She's like her fan now. She gets excited whenever she sees her and wants to stalk her. When Mme Farcy says hi to her she goes hyper.) We were standing outside at first, but then Franny got "sick" and we went to the bathroom, crashing everything on our way. We screamed a lot in the bathroom. Franny broke her bracelet, Yasmin felt weird because we made jokes about Mr Hitz. There were lots of reasons to scream and laugh about. One dude was stalking us (we told Yaz it was Mr Hitz).
Then, all of us went to the rock. Franny and I decided to sunbathe. Yasmin left us so we were happy to enjoy ourselves at the sun. We lay on the grass and plugged our earphones in. It felt like summer so I decided to listen to "Stereo Love" (of course). Imagine, lying on the grass and listening to the best song. I'm sure it would be better if Peter was there with me. It was too sunny so we went inside the Molesson. There was nobody so we could do whatever we wanted. We had a lot of fun. We opened the windows and shouted out random stuff (mostly Franny) like "I'm sexy and I know it!". Franny gave me a biology sheet (on which I got 7/10) and I starting singing it like opera.
It was the best day of my life so far. Sometimes I think that the most important thing in life is to have a BFF. How would my life be like if I didn't have a BFF? Not very exciting, I guess. Thanks to Franny for being my BFF!
P.S. Tatsuya, Fielding and Martin visited us today. For those who don't know: Tatsuya is this dude who was on my bus before he left to Japan. Martin (aka Benedict) was my boyfriend in the play we had in fifth grade and Fielding is his brother - the fastest guy in the school.
P.S.S. Guess what I'm doing now? Listening to "Stereo Love" of course.

Spring!

My Grandma came on Sunday. She even visited my school. I'm really happy about that.
I don't get this. There's a competition going on between me and Peter? All right. He already gave himself a point. Well... Four people subscribed my youtube channel. One point goes to me, doesn't it!

My heart, my soul

I read my blog since the begging again. My hands getting wetter and wetter after every entury.
Summer. That's my skype name now. I miss it more than anything else. I have a feeling that it's never going to be that great again. Why am I the only one who misses summer? I wish I had a time machine, so I could go back in time and feel the sea breeze again, so I could hug Snezhana, so I could travel to Kolasin. So I could listen to romances at night, look at the shining sea and cry to myself. Summer. I can't believe it will never be the same. NEVER!!! NE-VER E-VER E-VER!!! Why does it have to be so hard?
Katja. Will she ever hear me? I know that she will never be my friend again. We would never be in the same class again and draw "secrets" about teachers. NEVER!!! NEVER!!!
Peter. I don't even know if I would ever see him again. People are still asking me if I love him. Some people are just officially gf and bf but never talk to each other. They "date" they "go out together". I don't even know what's it's like. And there's another NEVER!!!
What is happening to me?
I can see my heart beating... Keybord soaked... Speechless...
