Monday was my fist IB Off Day. On IB Off Days, all the IB students can stay at home and do their homework, organize themselves and enjoy the ‘no school day’. I didn’t have homework so I stayed in bed until 8 o’clock and at 9am I went to the gym with Desmond. There were only 4 other people, but we had fun and did some exercises. In the afternoon Desmond and I wanted to go to a park and feed the birds. The park was really nice 😍. We walked through the small forest and stopped at the green meadow. There, we waited for the birds. Usually they land on the peoples’ hands, Desmond told me, but no bird came to us. They were all sitting in the trees chirping. Sad life 😢…
In the week I had some running practices for the 2k run at school, which is next Monday. I improved my time from 9:50min to 9:20min. That’s pretty cool! It’s fun to practice running at school, because after the practice we can do what we want. For example football, soccer, walking around… And I got back my french text: 95%!! Often the teachers give numbers of percentage on tests and exams. And of course, 100% is the best. I’m very, very happy with my mark 😊😊😊
On Friday we had six dogs at home! Six dogs! It felt like being in a zoo! Three dogs were playing in the house the whole time. One dog was sleeping, one dog was barking for food, and the 6th dog was hiding under a chair. In the afternoon, after I came home from school, Desmond and I decided to go for a walk with them. 1km took us half an hour, haha 😂. Desmond had the ‘difficult’ dogs and I had the ‘easy’ ones. There was a really cute Labrador puppy: Archie. He’s gorgeous 😍!!
On the weekend, we were invited to a birthday dinner of Diana’s aunt, so David’s, Sam’s and Pat’s great aunt. The whole family met at her house. I met everyone and hopefully I remember all names next week on thanksgiving. Ok, I don’t, but I try 😂. I had some nice conversations with a few family members and then, Mike (cousin’s husband), David, Sam, Pat, their cousin, Amanda, and I played ‘Phase 10’. It was the first time they played this game and I had to explain everything, but they understood it very quickly. We had a lot of fun together and they really like it ☺️.
P.S. I found out that my friend Reggie loves eating cornflakes:
