Prolecni Raspust 2010

Zato sto sam prosli post pisala na engleskom, i bio je strasno dugacak, ja sada mislim da je vreme da ovaj post bude na srpskom. Kao sto ste videli, naslov sve govori - Ovaj post je o mom Prolecnom Raspustu 2010. Bio je zauzet, i zanimljiv. Ali, na kraju sam strasno htela slobodnog vremena.

Uglavnom, moj prolecni raspust je bio od subote 13-og marta, do nedelje 21-og marta. Na brzaka cu da vam ispricam sta sam radila tih 8 dana. Ali, pre nego sto pocnem, imam nesto da vam kazem. Mama i tata su odlucili da nam rasture kuhinju u sred raspusta. Oni cu da nam stave onda lepsi sporet, masinu za sudove, frizider i sve te druge stvari sto ljudima treba u kuhinju. Ali, u medjuvremenu, nasa dnevna soba ima frizider, masinu za sudove, i sporet u njoj. Super, jel tako? |: Da, znaci samo sam ja to htela da kratko objavim.

Subota, 13-i Mart - Ujutru sam bila kod kuce, a onda, kao kod svake subote, sam isla na basket od 1-5. Uvece, sam isla kod Aleksandre i Kristine (: Bilo je lepo (:

Nedelja, 14-i Mart - Mama i tata su bili u silnim prodavnicama da kupuju stvari za kuhinju, dok smo ja i Ivan uzivali kod kuce. Una i Nina su onda dosli uvece za sleep-over. Bilo je superr (;

Ponedeljak, 15-i Mart - Mama i tata su bili na poslu ceo dan. (Procitajte na dnu sta ja imam da kazem svim roditeljima koji kukaju sto moraju ici na posao...) Ja i Ivan smo se onda zabavljali sa Unom, Ninom, i JJ-om ceo dan. Uvece, odmah posle kad smo odpratili Unu i Ninu kuci, otisli smo svi kod Monike i Stefana na sleep-over za 2 dana!

Utorak, 16-i Mart - Ceo dan smo bili sa Monikom i Stefanom. Bilo je lepo, jer su imali Mininu kucu za raspust: Benny. Bili smo u parku, setali smo se, i igrali smo se oko kuce.

Sreda, 17-i Mart - Ujutru, i tokom dana smo bili sa Monikom i Stefanom opet, ali posle posla je mama dosla da nas pokupi, pa smo isli kuci. Napokon smo stigli kuci da se samo odmaramo i uzivamo! <3

Cetvrtak, 18-i Mart - Od 11 sati ujutru, do 4:30 posle podne, ja sam bila sa drugaricama u Fairview Mall-u. Bilo je strasno zanimljivo! Gledali smo film: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, koj je bio jedan od najboljih IKADA, i setali smo se po prodavnicama, i tu smo jeli i rucak. Ivan je bio kod Peter-a i Olivie ceo dan, isto.

Petak, 19-i Mart - Ivan je tad krenuo sa Peter-om i Oliviom kod njihove vikendice sve do Nedelje. Ja sam zauvek zahvalna sto Peter i Olivia uzimaju Ivana svakog cetvrtka, a i ovaj put za 3 dana! Jupiii! Kako je meni lepo. Ja sam ceo dan bila kod Ivane i Luke, i cak smo isli kod ROM-a. (Royal Ontario Museum.) Uvece smo gledali neki super film koji smo cekali vec nedeljama! Zove se: Starstruck.

Subota, 20-i Mart - Ujutru su dosli Sara, Marko, Una i Nina, pa smo mi i njih vozili do basketa. I naravno da smo imali basket od 1-5, kao i uvek. I, bila sam presrecna da idem da gledam jedan fenomenalan film u bioskopu: "Remember Me." To je film sa Robert Pattinson, i Emilie de Ravin. Obozavala sam film <3 (:

Nedelja, 21-i Mart - Zadnji dan raspusta )': Ivan je stigao kuci danas, a ja sam 3 sati radila domaci. Kako sam se umorila! Spremala sam se za skolu, istusirala sam se... I cekamo da cujemo jel ce Aleksandra doci uvece. Bio bi super dan, ali onda se setim da moram ici u skolu ):

To ti je bio moj Prolecni Raspust ove godine. Svidjao se meni, i bio je zanimljiv, i strasno sam tuzna da se sada zavrsio. U, i o roditeljima koji kukaju da moraju ici na posao... Ovo je tipicna konverzacija:
Dete: "Meni se uopste ne ide u skolu sutra!!"
Roditelj: "Ni meni se ne ide na posao! Ali imas srece da si uopste imala raspust cele nedelje! Ja sam morao da idem na posao. Zeleo bih strasno da mogu ici u skolu zbog toga."
Dete: "Ne! Bolje je da se ide na posao, i da se bude placen!"
Roditelj: "Da, ali onda budes placen, ali josuvek nemas raspust."
Moje resenje je jednostavno. To je sve problem roditelja sto nisu izabrali dobar posao. Ja cu postati uciteljica zbog glavnog razloga da budes placen I imas raspust. <3

3 LONG months in 1 LONG blog post.

Yes, I agree. The amount of time that has passed by without me writing anything is ridiculous! Now, not only am I one busy person these days, but every time I go on the computer, I instantly log on to MSN, a chat website, and get hooked! I have a million chats at a time, and when I actually think about the blog, I realize that by that time, not only do I not have enough time for my really long posts, but I have too much to write! And that's too much work that I can't fit in... Okay, I know this isn't the right attitude to have, that's why I'll make up for the past 3 months in this blog post. Yes, you must put up with another long post - But it won't be that kind of post where I go through every single day in immense details. That is not only annoying to write, but also to read. Here I go!

Well, January was a blur: There isn't much to say other than that we just had to get back on track with out regular lives after the holidays. So, I won't go through many details. February and March were the most exciting months - I think. So, I'll just leave you with that... A blurry month in the past, that is practically forgotten and BORING! Ooh! Wait, noo, I do have one thing to say about January. The report card marks for term 2 were due, and all the teachers were going crazy trying to get the marks needed onto the report card. Because they didn't have enough marks, and that is fully their fault for not being organized enough, us kids had to deal with the punishment of the teachers' non-organization. The punishment was the constant amount of projects, homework, tests, and assignments! It was like a week and a half of this stress, and it was very tough. It was also frustrating, I had so much to do already, but the teachers screwed up once more, and took away the few minutes of free time I had already, not to mention that they also made me miss a ton of activities... :(

But, next is February. Now, in February, MacMillan (my school) had a BIG fundraiser for the music department in our school. It was called: MacMania, and it was great! Basically, it was a 5-hour dance/carnival. It was from 10-3, and there were many activities to keep you occupied all daaay! There was the dance in the cafeteria, hosted by MacMillan's student DJ's. I like it when they host it, since teachers put on really dumb music that hasn't been around for like, a thousand years! Old people these days... Throughout the halls, there were many games like: Whack a Mole, Mini-Basketball, Ring Toss, Bean Bag Toss and Giant Tricycle Racing. (Giant Tricycle Racing was amaaazing!) Then, there was a lot of food to purchase. Hot Dogs, Pop, Hamburgers, Popcorn, Sno-Cones from OUR OWN machine, Cotton Candy from our own machine as well, Pizza, Chocolate Bars, and a BUNCH of candy. They were also selling lots of glow rings, glow necklaces, glow bracelets, glow sticks, glow toys, and glow glasses! To add on top of all this, it was a casual day! A break from all this uniform nonsense! In the gym, there were other games. Like an inflatable castle where you play Wrecking Ball in, an inflatable jousting field, Mighty Strength Tester, and a silly shower! (: It was a day I will never forget.

But that's not all; since shortly after that, I got sick. :( Yes, I just came home from a restaurant, and I started puking the next morning! I woke up really early, went to my mom and puked over 10 times from midnight to 7 in the morning. I'm not even exxagerating! It was horrible! So that day (Wednesday) I stayed home, and I did the same on Thursday. I felt terrible, I also had a fever of 39-40 degrees! On Friday, I had a runny nose, headache, and I was sore all over, so I couldn't go to school, or the major volleyball tournament I desperately wanted to go to! But, the next week, from Monday-Thursday was my school trip to Quebec City! All the grade 7's were invited to come, and almost all of them DID come. Now, I know I've been to Quebec a jillion times, but it was different when I was experiencing it with my friends. We had a lot of fun, although each day was PACKED. We had soo many places the teachers planned to visit, and we were exhausted by the end of the day! But, it was still lots of fun. Even though we learned too much when we were 9 hours away from school - Stepping into Quebec is like opening a history textbook! We still had lots of time to souvenir shop, buy many, many things, have fun, and hang out. It was a great experience that I will not go into too many details about. But I do want you to comment on whether or not you'd like me to write a seperate blog post on this adventure of mine! Thanks. (:

That Friday, everyone stayed home anyways, 'cause it was a long trip, and nobody wanted to go to school! At that point, I missed 8 days of school out of the past 10! The next week, I only went to school Monday-Wednesday, and Thursday morning. Since I had a volleyball tournament that afternoon, and Friday was a P.A. day. Those few weeks were great! But, of course I got punished, I had to catch up on all those days I missed that weekend! It was an incredible amount of work, and it was exhausting, but I'm glad I'm finally back on track with the rest of the class!

Now, it's finally March! On the first day of March, we got our report cards. I was very proud! My average last term was 83%, and this term, it climbed up to 87%! I worked hard, and I think I deserved it. I improved in almost each subject, and in the Learning Skills section. My best subject overall was my French. Being in French Immersion, I was good at french for sure. But my marks were outstanding. In French Reading, I received a 98, in French Writing, a 95, and in French Oral and Visual Communication, I received a 98. Although, next term I'm going for straight 98's! My worst subject this term was Drama. :( But, to be honest with you, that is also the subject I care the least about! What am I going to use drama for in the future? I will most definetely have no future in acting, since I couldn't act or do all this fake dramatic stuff if my life depended on it! I hate having to be someone else, when I am me, myself, and I. There is no one else to be quite like me, so why should I act someone else? It bugs me. And, what's even worse is using our "body language" to display our feelings. No. It's not my style. I like talking, and expressing myself that way, and in other linguistical manners such as writing. So, overall, I made the honour roll term once more, and I am proud of my achievements. Yay!

Next, we had our annual speech arts competitions. I am good at making speeches, writing, and speaking in French, but I still don't enjoy speeches one bit! I also didn't like how our teacher made our topics start with "if" or make it relate to us. I've never done that before, and I didn't like it. I enjoy a solid topic. Well, I don't enjoy anything, but it's better than what my teacher made us do. So, finally, my topic was: My family and Household Chores. This was all basically about stereotypes for chores, and breaking them in my life. Sadly, I made it to the school-wide speech arts competitions, where we presented in front of the whole school, since we were one of the 2 best speech presentors in the class. Here, 2 more students would be picked to represent our school, and move on to the TDSB's competitions. Okay, yes, I was one of those students. On one side, I was frustrated I had to continue, and keep this stress going. But on the other side, I was glad I did a good job in front of the whole school, and I was glad I was good enough to be chosen to represent our school from both grade 7's and 8's. But, there was an issue with that. The next round is the same day as the all-day co-ed beach volleyball tournament. And I'm needed in both speeches, and the volleyball team! This is a bad dilemma to be in. But, it also brings me to my next topic: School Sports Teams.

As most of you audience members know: I am an athlete. I love sports, they occupy my time so well, they bring joy, amusement, fitness, love, and competivity to my life, and I play many of them. But I only tried out for 2 this year, in school. The reason for that is that not only does one sport keep me very busy, but not all the sports I play are included in the school teams. Since basketball season is sadly over, as you know, now it's Volleyball. Well, I shouldn't say that. Volleyball's in fact, coming to an end soon! Our school's best sport is Volleyball. The reason for this is that we have many teachers who play volleyball very well, as well as our principal. Now, our principal is by far the most talented volleyball player I've seen yet. That's why he makes sure MacMillan is very involved in all volleyball teams, competitions, and tournaments - He coaches. Each volleyball season, there are 3 grade 7 teams, and 3 grade 8 teams. Grade 7 boys, grade 7 girls, and grade 7 co-ed. Same for the grade 8's. Boys, girls, and co-ed. In case you're wondering what co-ed is, it's a team consisting of both boys AND girls. The rules are slightly different, and it's harder, but it's still so much more fun. I made the girls team, and we did great! In a tournament, we got bronze, 3rd place of approximately 12 teams. And, we made it to the playoffs. Now, you try out for the girls and boys team, but for co-ed teams, you get chosen by the coaches. If you didn't try out and make it for the girls or boys teams, there is no way you're on the co-ed team. You fully have the right to be chosen, and say you wouldn't like to stay on the team. But, you should be on the team, since only the best 8 players from both the boys and girls team make it to co-ed. I was lucky enough to make it to co-ed, since my position is to set, and I do a great job at it. Our team, if I do say so myself, is talented. And we have a few games coming up the week after March Break, as well as one of the most exciting events: A Beach Volleyball Tournament! It will be a blast. Now, it's hard to adapt to the boys, since I have played with the girls on the team since elementary school! But, it's coming, and we are guaranteed to have fun, go far, and learn so much more about volleyball. This season, I have learned to love the sport so much more than ever before, thanks to the great coaches: Ms. Bayliss, Ms. Lucas, Mr. Evans, and Mr. McNeill. So, for that, thank you. <3

And, as I mentioned in the previous paragraph: March Break? What? Well, indeed. All of next week there is no school, since it's the March Holidays! I am soo happy about that... From this moment RIGHT NOW, March Break started 4 hours and 26 minutes ago! I am soo excited! For the first time, I can just relax at home. Yes, I am going to be seeing my friends, and having sleep-overs, but at least I am not being dragged on a 5-hour drive to Montreal. Don't get me wrong, seeing my cousins is great, but, I really needed a break. We're constantly visiting, and I have a life, in case you didn't realize. I need to be with my friends, and have fun. So, I'll probably have enough time so that you will be able to see another blog post by next Sunday. This March Break will be a great one, filled with friends, movies, and sleep-overs. :) Yahoooo!

Ooh, and not to forget my last major event I wish to highlight. Last weekend, on a Sunday, with my basketball league, we went to our annual Raptors game. Basically, it's an event where the whole league can watch the game, with the tickets we order, and afterwards, play on the Raptors Court. We do this once per year, and it's an event to look forward to! I've done this many times before, from all the countless years I've been in this league, but the fun never departs. From a first-time player, it's an honour to play, dive, and fall on the court where the greatest Toronto Raptors famous NBA players sweat! Not only the Toronto Raptors', but also their opposing team. Think about it, the floor where LeBron James sweat, the floor where Kobe Bryant's designer sneakers have ran by, and the same floor that Shaquille O'Neal has probably sprinted by, fell on, and injured others on! Now, the nets! The ball you just shot has gone through the same net as Chris Bosh's dunk, Jared Jack's amazing fade-away shot, Jose Calderon's 3-pointer, Pau Gasol's last second fluke shot, and Yao Ming's MANY dunks. It's honourable, memorable, and a bunch of fun.

I just realized how much I wrote! I am sorry, but I know I NEEDED to let you guys in on the past 3 months of loneliness! I haven't written anything since the little cartoon thing for New Year's. And that's not right. I will make an effort to write shorter posts, but that goal got postponed today. So, I hope you enjoyed yourself reading this post, I hope you're glad you heard more about my past few months, and what's been going on in my small, yet eventful life. Thanks, guys. And don't forget to feel free to comment. Bye!

Kako je Google dobio ime?

Broj sa jedinicom i sto nula zove se googol. Reč googol izmislio je devetogodišnji dečak Milton Sirrota kada ga je njegov stric, američki matematičar Edward Kasner, zamolio da nađe ime broju 10 na 100-ti. Broj 10 na googol nazvan je googolplex.

Kasnije su Larry Page i Sergey Brin (osnivači Googl-a) pogrešnim spelovanjem reči googol došli do naziva za svoj pretraživač.

Ni pojam googolplex nije ostao zapostavljen, pa je to naziv Googleovog sedišta u Kaliforniji.
