Schools out?

Greg — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 00:37:06 +0000

School has just begun and already we are out of school. Not for holiday but because our teachers are striking. All the parents and the government are saying how terrible it is that the children aren’t in school learning. But if you ask the students they are just glad to have extra time off. Although [...]

Spring into life

Greg — Sat, 04 Mar 2006 00:38:19 +0000

Now that it is spring a lot of new events and things to do are opening up. Snowboarding season is coming to a close, but it is still fun to snowboard in the sun. Sailing season is just beginning so I have many so many activities to do with my friends.

This year I plan to [...]

Jasper at agility

I also have now taken Jasper, our Border Collie, to an agility competition. I’ve been taking him to his classes most weeks, except when we went away. So by August he had learned everything except the “teeter totter” (see-saw) and we entered him into the Club’s fun competition.

The trainer said he should [...]

The boats at my sailing club

My Dad has been bugging me again to write something. Well that is all very well, I know I am on holiday but I happen to be very busy. Holidays are when I get to go out with the guys and see movies or we hang out at each [...]

Dog agility

My dog Jasper

Recently, I have enrolled my dog in an agility class, which is when you take your dog around jumps, through tunnels and over obstacles. It has been very fun to train my dog, Jasper, and he is catching on very quickly.

I take him to regular classes on Saturday at 10 o’clock in [...]

Xbox and KD

Greg — Tue, 24 May 2005 00:26:57 +0000

Xbox parties are great fun if the right people come. Recently, my friends came over for a halo/ fable party. It was very fun because we had 2 TV’s and 2 Xboxs so we could play what we wanted. But apart from the games, food is very important. Especially Kraft Dinner because it is simply [...]

Ipods at school

Greg — Sun, 03 Apr 2005 00:25:50 +0000

Ipods and MP3 player are a very big thing because nearly everyone in my school has one. Every day you can see people at lunch or even during class listening to their Ipod with a friend. Although some of the time the teachers can take it away from you. But what is even more annoying [...]

Playdome

Greg — Fri, 11 Mar 2005 00:27:39 +0000

Every year at spring break the Playdome comes to Vancouver. The Playdome is a travelling fare and has many rides. A few days ago, I went with my friends to the Playdome. There were lots of rides like bumper cars, and a Ferris wheel. But there were also many rides for teens, which were quite [...]

Looking back on the holidays

Greg — Tue, 11 Jan 2005 00:06:15 +0000

Going out with friends all the time is the main reason for the holidays and weekends. Going to movies. Going snowboarding or swimming. I wished I could have spent more time with my friends over the holidays. One of my favourite movies I saw was Oceans 12 in the theatre and The Bourne Supremacy at [...]

Things I have learnt

Greg — Mon, 20 Dec 2004 23:53:55 +0000

When I came to Canada I didn’t know how to snowboard, sail, play basketball (well) and play American football. But now I can play these sports easily. I love to snowboard and sail. At school every morning I play basketball with my friends. It’s so much fun.
