waiting to go on an Outreach trip since Grade 7, when I'd get kicked out of class super early every Monday afternoon because of some Outreach meeting. Now, I'm the one kicking the little kids out! I swear I've been so busy and preoccupied with school and IB stuff that I've barely been pumped up about this after the Outreach trip. At the beginning of the year, when I found out that I was going to be going to Cuba, I thought the wait would be forever... I just find it super hard to believe that I'm actually going at 11:59 PM tomorrow! It's such a strange feeling. =S And yet, I've barely packed... HAHA. I'll have to use my major cramming skills; I don't wanna bring a huge suitcase to Cuba (the one I brought to Idaho was the biggest. So sad!).So, I haven't blogged for a while. What's been happening in my life? Lots of stuff, I suppose. Then again, "lots of stuff" for me isn't much. A couple of weeks ago, I had my IB French oral, and I'm so relieved to be done. I swear I had some kind of word vomit during my oral though; I didn't know if I was conjugating everything correctly, but I just hope that I did well enough as to not drag down my interactive oral mark significantly. =D I think that's one of the things I've been anticipating with nothing less than dread ever since I was kicked out of the grade 9 hallway in grade 9 as a result of those orals. Just watching the IB students at the time staring at these papers and talking to themselves... it's nervewracking, it really is! I'm just glad it's done. =)
Right after that, I left for Idaho. Not much to say about that... was it good? In some respects, yes. In most respects, not really. The worst part was coming home to find that I had tons of mysterious homework that confused my excrutiatingly-tired mind at the time. I'm just glad that time's over; it was pretty hectic. =/
At the moment, I'm just pretty darn excited for Cuba. I think it's amazing how our team was able to bond so well when only a short 2 months ago we were all kind of like "huh" to each other. So we're not total "BFFs" yet, but I'm sure that as we'll connect even more as we work together down there. I think the leader-change thing was pretty crazy too. All in all, everything just seemed to turn out for the better these last 3 weeks, and I must say that I'm finally beginning to feel these traces of excitement from somewhere deep inside of me. =D
Now, I must finish French, practice piano, PACK, and do history. Ugh, when I come back it will be history-biology craziness, to be replaced by French. Ugh. Oh well. I think it's time for a break.. right? My team members have personally told me that if I bring anything IB, I will get beat up. Haha... Back on Saturday,March 28th, with a story to tell.
