Youth Summer Reading Club 2008

I finally have time to sit down and type up another blog entry! After summer school, I started my volunteering experience at Sunnybrook Hospital. My first day was a blast. Luckily, I have the nicest supervisors on earth! (I have two supervisors) I thought the hospital would have a gloomy atmosphere. However, I was absolutely wrong! The nurses are really kind and funny. People probably think that hospital has a bad smell. Well… in certain areas, definitely… but my volunteering placement smells like coffee all the time. It makes me want to grab a nice large new chocolate brownie ice cap supreme from Tim Horton’s. Oh, what do you know… my volunteer placement is 2 minutes away from Tim Horton in the hospital!! I think the coffee smell is enough for me, because I don’t know how many calories an ice cap has. Doesn’t the ice cap look so mouthwatering…the whip cream topping with chocolate shavings, delicious creamy coffee, and ice chilling sensation? Umm…yummy. Has anyone try the Oreo Sundae from Baskin Robbins? I just found out that it has 1330 calories and 31g of saturated fat. If you don’t know, 1330 calories is two thirds of your calorie needed daily and 31g of fat is over your daily need of saturated fat. So even though it is so tasty (I haven’t try it, but come on, you know it is good just by the look of it alright?) I am getting really hungry now, so let’s move on to a different subject- BOOKS!!! (I don’t understand how I first talk about volunteering then food…)

I am very disappointed to say that Stephanie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn sucks. It is so bad that I had to force myself to continue reading it. Sadly, I could only force myself to do so until pg. 100. I gave up afterwards. The book is probably all dusty right now and somewhere under my bed. I apologize to those diehard fans (I consider myself as one too,) but I just can’t find the motivation I once had when I read her books, ok? I just can’t!!! It upsets me too… *sigh* I am once again searching for the next novel to read. Guess what? I bought 3 books for $10.50 (tax included.) They are the classic novels: Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn, Oliver’s Twist, and the Great Expectations. I can’t wait to start reading them!

School is coming. Call me crazy or whatever, but I AM EXCITED! REALLY EXCITED! It’s probably because I want to know all about my schedule. I have no clue who is going to be in my classes. I need to find that out soon. I haven’t started my back-to-school shopping yet. Well… I kind of did because I got a NEW PUMA PENCIL CASE from Market Village (in case you don’t know the mall, then just think Asian shopping paradise!! Haha!!) Let’s make a mental list of what I truly need: binders, notebooks, report covers, markers, highlighters, and… I think that’s all. I take good care of my stationeries. I have been using my old binders for 2 years already, and they are still in good conditions. I need new ones because I used my old ones for storing my Gr. 10 materials. Get ready everyone, school is on the way!!
