Slice of Life #284 - Reading - Tuesday, May 26th, 2020

It's pretty late now, so I'm going to be keeping this post really short. I didn't really have anything to talk about, so I guess I'll talk about what I've done today, and that's a bunch of different things, but mainly reading. I'm very happy to say that I've read about 400 pages today and have finished My Life as a Ninja, which I started today.

I've also worked on homework today, but I still have a lot to do. Fortunately, we're going to be getting time to do it in class, so I think that I should be able to get my homework done. And if the class time is not enough, then I'll just do it in my own time.

Tomorrow morning, I'm probably going to go for a 2km run with my dad (except that he's going to be on the bike). I'm going to sprint the first 800m to see what my time is, and then I'll jog the rest of the way home.

Then, I'm going to go to school, which, unfortunately, is starting early at 8:30am tomorrow, which means that I may be in a little bit of a rush. But other than that, it should be fine. I'll cope.

Now, I don't really have anything else to write about, and I've somehow managed to write this post in 5 minutes, so I'm very happy. Bye!

Slice Of Life #283 - Life As It Is - Tuesday, May 19th, 2020

    Currently, my life is still the life under lockdown. The lockdown has been extended again until June 3rd, but fortunately, it's only CMCO (Conditional Movement Control Order). This means that most businesses can resume and kids can now go outside (but we can only stay in the car). School continues to be online, and we're going to have all end of the year things online (ie. the end of year assembly will be online this year).
    Recently, I've been taking online BSA (Boy Scouts) merit badge courses. This allows me to earn merit badges and continue progressing in rank online during these weird times. Last week, I took a course for the chemistry merit badge, and I'm happy to say that I now have that merit badge! This week, I'm taking a merit badge on safety. The two choices I had was between safety and communications, but I decided to take safety as I would have the chance to do communications with my troop when the CMCO is lifted (communications is required, so I'll have a chance to do it). I also chose safety because I felt like safety is a very important topic, and that it may help me a lot in the future.
    Now, I have nothing left to write about, so I'm going to go and continue taking the safety course (I have 1 video left to finish by tomorrow). Bye!

Slice Of Life #282 - Travel to India - Tuesday, May 12th, 2020

Ahhh! Finally, something intresting! Let's jump right in...

Yesterday night from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, I went to India for a short break! Except that it was online. My dad decided to join a Tour India thing, so I decided to join him for some fun! What we got wasn't really what I expected to get, however. At first, I thought that we were going to "literally" tour India with 3D maps and buildings (using google maps or something like that). However, it was really just a powerpoint and a woman telling us all about India. However, overall, I thought that she did a pretty good job. I learnt a lot about India during those 2 short hours.

After the course, I decided to go and make brownies for me to eat during breakfast. That all went really well, except that I may or may not have filled the container so much that it overfilled...

This week, I'm also taking online courses in order to earn my chemistry merit badge for Boy Scouts. It started from yesterday and will be going on until this Thursday. So far, it's been going pretty well and I'm liking it a lot. I've learnt a lot as a chemist these past 2 days, and I can't wait for tomorrow's course.

I don't have much time left, so I'm going to end this week's slice here! Bye!

Slice Of Life #281 - Tomorrow's My Birthday! - Tuesday, May 5th, 2020

    Tomorrow's my birthday! I normally don't talk about my birthday in these types of posts (or do I? I forgot), but I have nothing to talk about other than my birthday, so it's worth talking about it. We're going to be ordering from one of my favourite restaurants, Sushi Kitchen. We don't really have any other way of celebrating my birthday tomorrow other than eating from that restaurant, mainly because we can't go outside due to the Movement Control Order (MCO).
    Life at home is starting to get very boring. I don't really have anything to do when I don't have school/classes. I'm going to try and finish a book that I've borrowed quite a while from the library this week, but probably not the book that I have on my kindle - mainly because that takes so long to read. I've spend hours reading it but have just reached chapter 5 (which is on page one thousand something)...
    I'm going to be keeping this post short because I don't really have much time left now. Bye!
