The Beach Again We Go~

So from the title you could tell that I went to the beach again. Summer time is a time of fun and beaches xD

Anyways, this time I got some nice pictures :D
This beach was a lot better then the last one I went to.
We went with my dad's friend's family again.

I made my first sand castle!! :D

I've always wanted to make a sand castle.

I don't know why though...it's just something I've always wanted to do. ^ ^

Well, at least now I can cross it off my bucket list. :) 

[wow I'm glad to say that I've been crossing off quite a few things on my bucket list :D]

Yes I made stairs on my sand castle xD
It was so plain. I had to do something to it.

Here is my castle at another angle. I also built a moat/protective wall around my castle.
I couldn't let the water come and destroy the castle!
that puddle of water is the "moat". [the hole that we dug and ocean water went into it]
the thing that's all lumpy in front of the castle is the protective wall :)

This is a picture of the ocean wave on the beach. I love this beach because it's pretty clean.

A jell fish that wounded up on land.
Sadly it died.
But the children (my little siblings and my dad's family friend's kids) enjoyed staring at it.
My brother actually poked it with a stick ^ ^;;
Looks like poking random things with a stick runs in the family. (i do it all the time xD)
And doesn't this jelly fish sort of shaped like a foot?

This is a picture of a cloud I saw while on the beach.
Doesn't it look like a mouse? or some kind of animal? :D
The sun behind it makes it glow and has a nice affect.

I thought this cloud looked like a robot or person waving hi.
My sister has no imagination and didn't agree.
Do you think it looks like a robot waving hi?

It's my little brother's hand (Ga.)
and
My foot! :D
Ah ha ha ha~ I'm so weird ^ ^
I was standing on "sand clumps".
I don't know why, but I like stepping on them :)
it feels funny when you do.

So anyways, I had lots of fun. 

The cleaning part after the beach is a total pain the butt :P

I hope you like the pictures. xD

And I love looking at clouds by the way...that's why I took pictures of interesting ones.

I can always find cool shapes in the clouds ^ ^

...but for some reason no body else I can see them >.>

My friends think cloud watching and people watching is lame, and they don't understand it.

I love doing both xD

Ordinary

That's all today was really; ordinary.
It was just a mixture of tinierme and studying. Plus, some Psych. Psych is a super awesome TV show, which I have all 5 seasons set of. :D it's almost as good as Dexter and Doctor Who (other TV shows). I also talked on the phone a bit with Rin-chan ^ ^ which we were mostly conversing about tinierme and studying xD.
So today wasn't anything special. Except for the fact that my brothers were totally killing me today. Crying, whining, and fighting was all they did; nonstop. D: It was a killer. And what I mean by that was that their annoying attitude/mood were killing me. Meaning they were a pain in the butt!
but I was able to handle them because I'm cool like that :D lolz jk
Sigh~ so that was about it for my day. Got quite a bit of studying done too ^ ^

So Much Studying!!

I know I've already complained about studying, but since I couldn't really figure out what I exactly I should be studying, my dad has decided to help me.
He found me this really great website that helps "drill" you into learning. By "drill" I mean, help you become faster at solving equations and stuff. This website has helped me quite a bit. But my dad is making me study so much, it's tiring. TT.TT It's summer. All I want to do is sleep and spend time with my sweet sweet gorgeous computer. (xD lolz yes my computer is gorgeous)
Sigh~ but I really want to do well on that test next year.
I don't think I really explained what this test is, so just to give you a better idea I shall explain.
This test will basically decide my future! It has a whole bunch of stuff on it that is like two grades more advanced then the grade I am in. It's a test to see who's smart and who's not basically. And there are schools that only except the smart people. Everyone wants to get into those schools, but they only have a limited number of seats.
Anyways, my dad wants me to study all day everyday. But you know how tiring that would be? xD
Thus, I made a deal with him. Four hours on the weekdays, and two hours on the weekends. That way I can still waste time on  have fun with my computer ^ ^.
I'm worried about my friends though >.>
Some of them are very self-confident about them getting into the school they want that they don't think they need to study. But I'm worried if they don't study enough, they won't get into their desired school. It's not that I don't have confidence in their intellect. It's just that, there are things that they could work on or review or be faster at. Speed is everything on this test. The faster you can finish this test the better because then you'll have to review and work on the harder questions.

my dad hasn't been making things easy for me either. He'll ask me to do a question, and watch over my shoulder. I start to get nervous, and my brain doesn't function well. >~< so I couldn't answer the question properly. I mean seriously?! It's nerve wrecking when someone watches you intently! So my dad lectured me and basically described me as "dumb" in a long fancy way. I wanted to say "It's not my fault! I know how to answer the stupid question. It's just that you watching me makes me nervous!" But I couldn't say that because he'll say I'm just making excuses > <
it's annoying when he doesn't understand and gets all grumpy at me.

Sigh~ I really hope I'll make it into a good school

ps. most of you might think I'm talking about college (SATs) and maybe some of you aren't.
I can't really tell you if I'm going to college or high school or maybe even a middle school. (lolz who knows, maybe middle schools have big tests over here, you never know xD)
It's not that I don't trust you (my readers). It's just my dad says I need to be cautious on the internet, and not leak out any confidential information.
But since I love my readers so much, I'll tell you this:
I'm not in elementary school.
Lolz xD that is practically a given from the time you've started reading. But hey, I confirmed your guess right? ^ ^

Another Trip to the Beach

Today we went to the beach again. Except it wasn't just me and my family this time. My dad's best buddy from high school invited us to go. The beach we went to was the same one my family and I went to for July 4th. My dad's buddy, H., said they should have fireworks that day. We decided to go with H. and his family because we didn't get to see fireworks on Independence Day. The fireworks weren't going to happen until 9 o' clock or so. Thus, we had to find something to do for 5 hours xD. The beach is also part amusement park, so we decided to hang out there. But the tickets for the rides are so damn expensive TT.TT we only got to ride a few. Well, the younger ones got to ride a few. I only got to ride the bumper cars since I had to drive for my brother who is too short to do it himself. I was okay with that ^ ^ I love bumper cars! :D
Today was my first one actually driving the bumper car myself. We don't go to amusement parks often and when we did it was when I was little. So my dad drove for me for all my experiences with bumper cars.
Anyways, it was so much driving one! :D I was really good at it too for my first time. ^ ^ I had total control. It was hilarious though. Because Z. (the little brother I had to drive with) was screaming the whole time! It was his first time riding, so he didn't expect it to be fast and bumpy xD. My sister didn't know how to drive (it was her first time too), so she kept spinning rapidly in circles. xD It was hilarious. My dad and H. joined in too. I kept bumping into H. xD It was quite awkward, but still funny.
I wanted to go again, but they were so expensive. A ticket was $6 each. That mean for all of us it costed over $30! It sucks :P I couldn't go again.
Afterwards, we went to the kiddie section. I of course had no fun there. But it was fun watching the little ones laugh and have fun ^ ^
Then we went to the beach. And guess what. After we waited until 8 o' clock, we found out that there was no fireworks!! >:\ that's not right man. Second time this has happened. Turns out they have fireworks every Friday. So we're going next Friday. Sigh~ I really wanted to see fireworks :( even if they're just loud colorful sparks in the sky that get boring after 2 minutes, I still want to see them.
Since, it was late, we all just went to a nearby calorie monster McDonald's xD.
Then we came home and started watching Dexter. Dexter is this super awesome show about a serial killer. xD You should really find a way to watch it ^ ^
We got the whole series, so we watch an episode or two every night.
But each episode is like an hour long >.> so we all end up staying up until 12 or 1 o' clock.
Which causes me to not want to wake up early and study, but I have too TT.TT

Independence Day

I totally forgot to tell you about my July 4th! I'm so sorry >~<
Well, my July 4th was...okay I guess.
There's this beach that has a fireworks show every July 4th. Furthermore, my brother keeps complaining about how he wants to go to the beach and wants to see fireworks. Thus, my dad decided to spend our Independence Day at this beach. Hit two birds with one stone ^ ^ (this saying sounds violent xD and mean towards birds). Anyways, when my family goes out it takes forever. You know how hard it is to get two toddlers ready for the beach? Very hard. Plus, my sister didn't have the slightest clue on how to prepare for the beach either, so I had to tell her what to do. I swear, she's too spoiled and lazy. Everyone basically does the work for her. But my dad has been trying to get her to do simple chores like the dishes or something. She's not very good at them; needs more experience.
I packed my bag with basically everything. A towel, extra clothing, a jacket (just in case it suddenly gets cold. it happens xD), sunscreen, and so on. I like to be very prepared ^ ^. I'm glad I brought the sunscreen because my dad forgot it. I saved the family from sun burn ! xD
Once we finally got to the beach, we had to find stupid parking. Afterwards, we then had to find a spot on the beach. But my dad wanted to sit somewhere near the food area. Which was all the way on the other side. TT.TT there was so much walking. Once we get to the food stands, my dad gets some corn dogs and funnel cake. I was like "We just got done eating lunch!" and he was like "I thought you guys might want a snack." My dad is crazy >.> . . . The funnel cake was good though ^ ^
As we were standing there eating, we noticed signs that said "No fireworks on July 4th." Everyone in my family got so disappointed. I mean fireworks was our main reason for going to the beach.
However, my dad was glad I noticed the sign or else we would've stayed there until 10:00 pm clueless xD.
The beach was fun. I accidently grabbed onto a tiny crab thinking it was a pretty rock. When I saw the legs wiggle around everywhere, and felt it against my skin, I dropped it and screamed. Then I shook my hand (as if all the crab germs would fly off) and started shouting "Ew! Ew! Ewww!" A nearby elderly-ish person saw/heard me and started laughing. >~< Which wasn't nice at all. My sister started laughing, and said that happened to her too. Apparently, she told dad, and he said that we should have ve caught it, so we could eat it. I was like "Firstly, the crab is too small to be satisfying in anyways. And secondly, ewww > <" I'm telling ya, I have a weird father. After two or three hours we left.

Studying

Okay, I have a problem. It's bad. This is bad. TT.TT and I can't stop it.
I can't study for more then half an hour without starting to get drowsy afterwards!!! HALF AN HOUR!!
TT~TT I just can't stay awake. It's like I start out all determined, but then the words start to blur and my eyes begin to close themselves; my  motivation disappears D: and I fall asleep. But I somehow luckily never end up falling/drooling on my book. I don't drool much, but even the slightest bit of it can ruin the book.
Sigh~ I really have no clue how to solve this problem. It happens with book that I'm actually interested with too. Like, I'm reading this book called Stolen by Lucy Christopher, but I can only read for about 30 minutes before I start to get sleepy. This book is pretty good too. TT.TT Am I cursed?! So I've developed a schedule, where I only study a subject for about 30 minutes before switching to something else.
If it continues like this though >.> I have a really bad feeling about my chances on that important test I've mentioned a couple of times.
Not only have I been falling asleep from books, I've been getting distracted lately. I can't keep focus. :(
When I start to get bored, I fantasize or think about more fun things that I would rather be doing. TT^T so everything ends up rather unsuccessful.
....Well to tell you the truth >.> this is my first day getting into my studying schedule. Perhaps, I just have to get used to the schedule; give it a couple of days I guess.
Sigh~ why do I have to have reading assignments? Personally, I like math better. I finished my math homework in half a day without getting bored. Math is just so much easier for me too. >.> However it's opposite for some of my friends. Rin-chan likes English better. She's pretty good at it too. Math is her least favorite subject. Me and and Rin-chan are very different xD, but we surprisingly think alike often too (like we have the same opinions on people and stuff).
Anyways, back to my problem. I need to find a way to stay awake while studying.
I could try and use clothing pins to keep my eyelids open like they did in the manga Yankee-kun to Megane-chan. xD that sounds painful though...and I don't have clothes pins. xD lol fail.
What do you do when you're having trouble with studying? Any suggestions would be helpful ^ ^

Late Spring Cleaning

If you look at my house you'd think it's pretty cleaning; excusing the few toys (okay a lot of toys) lying around the place. However, my dad decided that we needed to clean up and make space for other junk (*cough* I mean valuable items...).  Thus, we took out a pack of wipes (baby wipes was all we had at the moment xD), and we went to work. Sigh~ my sister's desk wasn't so dirty, just a little cluttered and unorganized. Dad has been bugging her about cleaning it and how she should be responsible. It gets annoying after the tenth billion time. >.> you'd think my sister would have had the brains to do what my dad says. But no I had to deal with my dad's lecturing; when he wasn't even lecturing me! Now, my sister's desk might have been unorganized and all over the place, but you should have seen my brothers' desks. They were DUSTY!! I'm allergic to dust mites, so it was scary cleaning it up. I tried not to touch any of it and clean it at the same time...>.> it's possible. Dust is not my friend. I was able to clean both my brothers' desks before my dad and sister even got done with my sister's desk. They shouldn't have put so much work into cleaning it because I doubt it'll stay clean for long.
Anyways, I eventually got around to cleaning my desk. I don't like cleaning other people's things. I really only care about cleaning my stuff, but I was forced into cleaning the other stuff. Sigh~ yes I know it's selfish to only think about my hygiene, but that's just how I am ^ ^.
My desk took the longest cleaning because even though I'm relatively cleaner then the other three children living here, I have more junk on my desk. xD Well I mean stuff tends to collect up when you got random study stuff, old school papers, little pens here and there. Plus, I have these boxes under my desk (to store more junk), a shelf (full of more stuff), and a three drawer bin to take care of. Thus, I had to move everything and clean out the dust, first; which was a lot of work because there's a lot of dust and stuff to move! When I wiped the desk, I noticed that it suddenly got whiter xD (I have a white desk). That meant there was a layer of filth on my desk. Ew >~
Cleaning is good. It makes your environment healthier; which in the process makes you healthy too. But it's a total pain in the ass to do....like exercising xD.
