La page d'accueil de mon "Facebook" est le nouveau Quebec. Comme Canada, la majorité d'utilisateurs écrivent en anglais mais il y a une percentage qui écrivent en francais ce weekend.
Demain est Victoria Day mais les étudients de BI en Canada doivent écrire deux examens - ce n'est pas juste mais c'est la vie. Sur "Facebook", tous les étudients de BI s'écrivent en francais- c'est une forme de practique. C'est amusant pour nous mais les autres étudients de notre lycée pensent que nous sommes ennuyeux. Mais, nous devons étudier.
J'espere que l'examen est une pièce du gateau (une expression idiomatique!). Si je veux une bonne note je dois étudier beaucoup et quand j'écris l'examen je dois utiliser les choses comme les expressions idiomatiques, les pronoms relatifs, les phrases hypothétiques avec "si", les mots de liasion, le subjonctif, le future antérier, le conditionnel passé, le conditionnel présent, le plus-que-parfait, et l'impératif.
Je ne peux pas attendre pour la fin de ces examens - après ces examens nous regarderons un film - je ne sais pas quel film à ce moment mais je veux en regarder un avec beaucoup de garcons très chauds. Après que nous aurons regardé le film nous irons à chez J pour BBQ - je ne peux pas attendre!
à ce moment, ma salle est Quebec mais chez moi est Canada car les examens de BI - je veux dire "merci" à BI pour cela.

Predicted Marks are so Bad!
I got my IB predicted marks for Math&French today, they are soo bad. I'm not getting into university with my predicted marks, no way.
French - 5 (translated it's 80-89)
Math - 4 (translated it's 70-79)
I'm so upset, I know I can do better, I slept through all of Gr 11 math last year and I ended up with 90+ - there is no way my final mark is going to be a 4. I know I can get a 6 (7 is ruled out b/c I didn't do too well in my math portfolios), from now till May 5,6 I need to work my ass off and study until I know the whole IB Standard Math curriculum by heart. I think my predicted mark for math is so low b/c it's mostly based on the exam I wrote in Jan (which doesn't count) & I basically failed the Jan Exam since I had no power the 24h before the exam and lost 2-3 days of studying b/c the power was on and off for those 3 days. I can not get a 5, a 5 will not get me into university - especially since math is supposed to be one of my strongest subjects.
French Group Oral - 20/30 (level 5)
Individual Oral - 21/30 (level 5 - high 5)
I think I can get a 6 in French; I can not get lower than a 6. If I get the same mark I got on my Jan exam in May then I am set on the borderline of a 5/6 in french. I have almost 2 months to learn idiomatic expressions by heart to elevate my french writing - also need to use as many pronouns relatives, subjontif &etc when doing the written pieces. I also need to learn to not freak out at the exam table - what a great Victoria Day I'm going to have, writing a freaking french exam - at least it's not at the YRAA date like I though.
***I really think they should add 10% to our bio mark b/c we're not even learning Gr 11 stuff, we're doing pretty much pure Gr 12 Bio

Failed 3/4
Ah Mon Dieu! C'est fini!
Bio Quest - let's not talk about it, it was bad and the fact my french oral was cut my time short makes it worst
Orale Francais - in the speech part I failed, I stuttered, paused, & repeated myself. I have never done this bad, it went well until I started talking about the controversies surrounding Brigitte Bardot where I forgot how to say sexual harassment in french and from then onwards it went downhill b/c I started to freak out and hyperventilate - you can hear my shaking.
The conversation part went rather well since I was able to ask her questions and there was no delay in my answers but for some reason I wasn't able to remember the word for "answer" so instead of saying, "dans le club de "reach for the top" on doit donner une response à beaucoup des questions" I went the long way and said a bunch of stuff, "l'objectif de le club de "reach for the top" et respondre les questions". I was kind of surprised at how smoothly the conversation went - I didn't need to translate anything from english to french or from french to english; it just flowed.
ToK Presentation: It was extremely cute and Hallarn loved it, line of the day:
Spinoza: You're just jealous the part of God in my body is more beautiful than the part of God in yours
Math Quiz - failed. I missed up singular matrix & non singular matrix and I messed up #3b. arg. not good.
Going to bed early tonight after only 45min last night, bio lab this weekend & must do italian band assignment for class on Sat.
***woke up at 7/8 pm, went for run at 8, came home at 9
so exhausted
***Fun Side Note:
my friend J.L. came home from HK last night, oral today, he was dead sick so he wore a Asian mask to school, did his oral then went home - laughed so hard when I saw him in his mask. Thankfully I went before him so I didn't get his germs from the mic.

la presentation francais
J'ai fait ma presentation francais aujourd'hui, j'ai fini! Je suis contente que j'aie presenté!
I have to say while I'm relieved I'm done I'm still so upset b/c I did 70%+ of the work, Vicky did 30%, and the last partner did nothing. As in 0%. Sure, she went out and brought some stuff but I could have done that. She attempted to write a script which consisted of her copy and pasting parts of our brouchure - no additonal research and not written in conversational tone. I had to rewrite the script within 24h and in that time period she kept on emailing me to send it to her - it's not my fault her script sucked so bad I had to rewrite it and why is it that she took 4 days to copy and paste and it's ok but I have to write an entire script in my 3rd language in 24h. My mom did more work than her. I love my mommy; she painted most if not all our poster/murals, made 30something paper boats, helped me make 50+ potatoe-haddock pancakes, a pie, & 25 crepes and b/c K doesn't want to pay for food and apparently thinks I should pay for all my parents offered to pay for the cost of feeding 25 people. Honestly my parents are amazing, not only did they have to let us use my house they had to feed my group (I still can't believe K came to my house that time without eating breakfast or lunch - what am I? a free food centre?). I honestly wanted to kill K today when she told me that she didn't know her lines yet for the puppet show, honestly she didn't do anything the whole project, is it too much to ask to memorize a few lines? She went to bed before 12, I went to bed at 5something in the morning. She didnt have to do anything but I spent the whole night cooking and didn't even get to practice my lines until 3am in the morning.
Anyways, I think our posters turned out quite well, I love my last minute idea of painting M. Homard - the mascot of Le Festival de Homard du Shediac. My sailboat on the poster above the classroom is a fail though, it looks rediculous but the ones my mom painted looked amazing. My christmas in the classroom was also a fair - some forest we had, 2 trees. - I think I'm going to ask Madame for the pictures of the presentation and post a few up.
I hate how I have the inability to be mean, anyone else would have already gone to the teacher and told her about the lack of work done by a partner but I sucked it up and carried onwards. I hate how we could potentially get the same mark even though I did most of the work. I hate this. I also hate how I could have not written her part so nicely, I could have made mistakes on purpose so she would mess up. Personally I don't need a script so I don't know why I was so nice as to write one when I didn't need one for myself - why did I put myself through so much stress and work when it wasn't needed?I need to put my foot down and stop being so nice.
Must go finish ToK presentation & do my math hw....
***so scared, didn't really eat today
-too nervous to eat breakfast
-too nervous + no time to eat lunch
-ate 3 potatoe pancakes + bits of pie crust during presentation
-apple
-orange
-little pasta w/mushrooms + shrimp when I got up from my much needed 6h nap

Je veux tuer une personne! C'est le plus importante projet pour Francais mais le traville qu'elle fait c'est mal
Je ne suis pas content, je ne suis pas heureuse. Le 2 mars est la date pour le plus importante projet orale de ma vie pour francais mais j'ai une partenaire qui est imcompétente. Elle ne peut pas faire une chose correcte - je veux pleurer. C'est 10 h 24 mais je ne peux pas faire mes devoirs de maths ou de bio parce que je dois corrige le script pour le projet - alors, si je suis correcte je n'ai pas besoin un script mais elle le veut alors j'ai dit elle doit l'écrire mais le script est très mal est je pense qu'elle est la seule personne qui peut comprendre. Ma autre patenaire le pense est très mal aussi - c'est ennuyent que je dois faire les choses que je pense que c'est inutile. Je pense que je peux faire la presentation sans un script mais elle pense que nous avons besoin un script - je detest les scripts beaucoup car j'aime etre fluide quand je parle - avec un script je suis robotique. J'ai crée la brochure et faire les peintures, ma autre partenaire a crée les choses pour notre spectacle de marionnettes - nous avons travillé beaucoup mais la primère partenaire fait un petit petit et les choses qu'elle fait sont imcompétent.
Je suis fatiguée et je veux dormier mais je ne peux pas - je ne suis pas content que je sois en cette position.
