Summer, Summer, Summer- three monthes of "freedom", released inhibitions, sleeping in, and most importantly, fun. Unfortunately for me, however, I have to wake up every day at approximately 7am to go to school...again. I just love school so much. Not really. I am, however, having quite a lot of fun, and was allowed to catch up and spend time with many of my friends. Because I did not start blogging until today, I will give a brief summary of my busy summer up to today. So far I have cooked/baked chocolate chip cookies, crepes/pancakes, scrambled eggs & tuna casserole. I have traveled around the city to familiar SF hot spots like Fisherman's Wharf/Pier 39, Downtown, North Beach, and the Sunset, and last week I went to Paramount's Great America in Milpitas for a day. I have acquired a new affinity for gardening the roses in my backyard, which I have spent a lot of time on lately, and have coached at my old table tennis club at Glen Park. This is my first blog post and I am extremely excited about it. I will probably spend a lot of time blogging about my day during the summer, but probably not so much when the school year starts because I won't have as much time. Anyways, this was my day:
8-10:30 Health Class w/ Ms. Seawell. We talked more in depth about emotional and mental health. We also played a "icebreaker" game where we asked questions about each other. I am one of six incoming seniors in a class of 50 kids, but I have quickly made friends with some incoming sophmores and juniors that sit near me. Thankfully, William sits in back of me so I have someone to talk to when we're on break.
10:30-11 Took 29 to Judah & Sunset then transfered to the N and got off on 9th & Irving. I have probably only taken one of these lines a few times in my life so I was quite nervous when I found out that the line did not announce stops. We learn and we live though right?
11-12 Bought the Jamba Juice Super YumBerry June 16 Special for $1 and met up with Vivian & Natalie. We walked around Irving and we found a "recycled clothes" store that I thought was interesting. Buy used clothes for cheaper, and sell old clothes for money (35% of sold price in cash OR 50% of sold price in store credit). I just thought this concept was interesting and I have always heard about these stores but never got to see them in real life.
12-1:30 Took the 44 to the California Academy of Sciences, but once we got there it was obvious that we would not be able to enter. The place was packed with people, and the lines went even furthur than the trees, and almost to the pretzel station which was very surprising but not really. If you are wondering why there were so many people, it was "Free Wednesday", and a ticket is regularly priced at $20 for teens under seventeen and adults at $25. Because of this misfortune, we decided to walk around Golden Gate Park and take pictures with Natalie's cool Nikon camera. I was probably the most impressed with and most interested in the "Rose Garden" probably because I have been doing a lot of gardening recently in my backyard. Our previously neglected "garden" is now vivid with life (not really, but better than before) and blossoming with roses that my parents planted a long time ago. I was fascinated by the roses in the "Rose Garden" because there were so many different types and colors. Next, we walked around and by somewhat chance found "Stow Lake". At first we were somewhat leaning towards renting a paddle or row boat for 15 and 19 dollares respectively, but Vivian and I were too nervous about falling in the water so we kept walking. Shortly after, Natalie's camera ran out of batteries so we decided to head home and walked back.
1:30-2:40 Took the 44 back home with Vivian and went to Foodsco to buy supplies to make a hotdog. Her brother came over to my house and we made tuna casserole, the first time that all three of us had even tasted a casserole before. Fortunately, the casserole turned out perfect, but most importantly we had a blast making it. We were supposed to also make crepes for dessert but I did not have milk at my house, so Vivian and her brother left at around 4:10.
4-5 While we were waiting for our casserole to finish, I turned on the TV and saw one of my favorite talk shows: The Ellen Show and decided to watch it for the next hour.
5-7 Took a nap.
That was basically my day. Pretty busy and tiring but you know what they say about busyness. "It is always better to be busy than to be bored."
