For Friday, 5/10/12, My Last Day

So it was my last day at Germantown Friends School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was a great day. I had all my classes but the day went by very smoothly. I still had two free periods and got to say goodbye to all the wonderful kids I met. I came home after school and for dinner had lasagna, which is my favorite. Then I also got this little cup of chocolate moose and even the cup was edible. Yummy. So after that I went over back to the school for this little thing that is a student run program called coffee house. It is basically a musical talent show. A lot of people, probably everyone is musically talented. Then I got picked up and went back. I got and watched some television with Sonali and Neil. Well on a completely different note, my two week trip was amazing. It was a great experience. Even though Philadelphia is only two hours away the kids here are pretty different but are funny and chill. I met a lot of new kids and made some new friendships. It was fun. Since it is close I plan on coming back and visiting. Well back home to New Jersey. It's been good. Namaste (Hindi way of goodbye).

It was the second to last day of school. I had barely any classes, and we had meeting again at school. But this time the choir sang a song for us. WOW! They are the best choir I have ever heard in my life. They filled the whole room; it sounded beautiful. I wanted to to start singing along but I could not because of two reasons. One, I did not know the words to the song, and two, I can not sing if my life depended on it. So after the meeting I learned GFS is known for their choir. Basically, everyone tries out and only the best make it. Further, like every three years they travel around the world performing. Any who, my day went on and I watched some volleyball being played. They have this open area in the middle of campus and kids set up a volleyball net and they play. It was really funny because some kids are just not meant to be athletes. I mean I may not be the best but I have pretty good hand - eye coordination. So tomorrow is my last day at school and I hope it goes by well. I have all my classes and only one free, but that is alright. Ciao.

Today was just another normal day. I do not know what to write about to make this blog interesting, sorry. Anyway, we had assembly today and the music teacher had students compose their own song, mainly classical and one jazz. It was actually really good and I was quite impressed. Other wise my day was uneventful. I was kind of tired so today I just went through the motions. I got home at five because I had to wait for my ride. So after school, I just hung out and got a free cup of fruit. It was good. I ate pineapple for I think my first time; at least that I remember. So then I came back to the house and played FIFA. I played Neil and beat him 3 to 0 but he does not play a lot and I love FIFA so it is ok. Well that is all I have for today. Au Revoir.

It is a Tuesday. I went to school. School felt pretty long becuase I was tired. I was tired because I did not sleep much last night. So I am taking art class and I have not taking art in about five years. Also, I am terrible at art. But I am in the class and we are painting this thing on cylinders, with water and with living goldfish in three of the cylinders, and two boxes. Mine is coming out to pretty amazing. The teacher said it was the best he has ever seen. No I am lying, its probably like below average. Anyway, everyone else in the class is actually really good. So that is my experience in art. I did a lab in biology and I created a something based on the genes passed down from the mother and father. It went by quick so I was let out of class early. Today was a good, normal day, not too eventful like some other ones. But this is my blog for today. Adios.

So today was the beginning of my last week at the school. I want this school week to go by as slow as possible. I am enjoying this experience. I am making new friends and I am just getting comfortable in how the school works. Today I took two tests. One in precalculus which was pretty easy for me. Then I took and pop quiz on Malcom X on the book they are reading in class. Luckly, I had a packet on some of the things in the Malcom X movie so I atleast got some questions right. I mean good thing the grades at the school do not count for my grade at my school. I do not have any homework tonight. But I did do all my homework due today over the weekend. After school, I went to go play basketball. It was quite enjoyable. That basically wraps up my day.

I had a long but historical day. We started off the day by going to a rich country club for brunch and a cricket festival. I saw a gorgeous red Ferarri. It was a "love at first sight" kind of deal. I miss the car so much. Only if I could see it again. But after we went in Philadelphia and saw the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall (where the constitution was made). It was a nice scenery. I have been there and went on a tour before for a school feild trip, but it was still neat to see it again. After we went to this famous ice cream place called Miga; it servers Italian ice cream, gellato. Then we went back home, and I finished off the day with this blog that I am writing at this very moment and some NBA and NHL playoff action. Thank you and good night.

Cinco de Mayo

During the day, I did not do much at all. I played a little basketball with Neil, and then just slept the rest of the day. But, around 9, we went out to Center City to eat at a Korean resturaunt. It was delicious. After we walked around and saw City Hall. It was a beautiful building with great architechture. Then all nice lights on the buildings was a nice setting. There was also, a street that on each side going al the way down had a flag of every single country. Also, we passed by those famous steps where Rocky from the movie "Rocky" ran up and jumped and did his little cheer. I wanted to run up the steps but it was late and we were in the car at this point. Maybe next time I can do it. It was a fun night.
