Done and...goodbye

Before I start I need to tell you that the school system is a little different here in Quebec instead of elementary and then high school and then college its primary school(kindergarten through 6th grade) and then what they call secondaire (7th grade through 11th grade)and then cegep for two years and then university. O.K. now that that's said i can get to the story.

Yesterday was my last day of 6th!!! Well actually our last day is Monday but I decided to have my whole class over for a big party to celebrate since my teacher had to go to court (our principal wants to get rid of our teacher because he doesn't like him) on Monday, and we were gonna have to have a substitute. We had a party last night to celebrate with our teacher and to say goodbye to him. We played games and ate pizza and got our year books and report cards. I can't believe it's actually over!

Weekend with Mom

For her fortieth b-day my Mom decided to do a triathlon in Pennsylvania with Dad.So they started to train but my Dad hurt his back in January so he planed to just go and encourage her.But a week before the triathlon Dad re injured his back so he couldn't even go.So Mom decided to take me along with her.On Thursday night of last week I left with Mom and our friend Sara who was going to visit her parents who lived an hour away from our hotel.the trip was 10 hours long but thankfully I had Mom's laptop and a lot of movies!!!When we got there we went to eat at a sub place and headed back to our hotel where Sara's Mom came and picked her up.For super me and Mom went to a pizzeria and I ate the best pizza ever!!! On Saturday me and Mom went to visit the city and to go to the place where the triathlon was gonna be for a first timers conference. On the way out we met two family's who Helped mom with her bike and helped raise her morale!They also offered to stay with me during the triathlon.

Sunday morning we got up and went to the triathlon grounds. There where over one thousand participants!!!The race started at 7:45 with the swim. Mom finished the swim in about a half an hour.The biking was the hardest for her because it was a very hilly course.She finished with the run which she did in a half an hour. That night we decided to go to olive garden to celebrate.We left the next morning and got home at five o'clock. It was a really fun trip that I'll always remember!!!
