How I Messed Up (Diary edition)

Part #1 - The trip to Canada

Diary page first 3/7/2001.

We are moving out of town again. Like every five months...

Anyway from now on I will be finally writing in this diary that my mom got me for my thirteenth birthday. I don't know why I've been keeping this diary and not writing anything. It's been like three years. I can't believe it. Anyway, this time we are moving to Canada. We never moved so far away! That is why moving there sounds a bit scary to me. I heard that it's a perfect country to live in. But you know you can't believe everyone that you meet on the streets.

Everyone on the last day of school has been asking me why am I moving so much. Of course, I avoid answering them. To me, it is a stupid question since I don't have a dad and my mom has to work all the time. So her work is stretched and in every country possible. She goes to those meetings all the time so I am mostly alone at home, alone outside, or in school with people that I don't know. Also, I don't know how to say anything to them. This bothers me a lot because I have a lot of attitude that I can't describe in those gibberish words. Overall I love my mom because she understands me a lot but she can't change my life since that her work apparetly pays a lot. My mom says to me that she met my dad in Asia and that he's apparetly a K-pop Idol wich I don't belive because I'm not a child anymore. Well I'm allowed to date just not to marry yet. lol... ... ...

Mom calling Cherryl:

"Cherryl!" pause "Cherryl!" : My mom called me but I didn't answer because I was so focused on writing in my diary.

"Cherryl Blossom!!!" : My mom yelled this time.

"What mom?": I asked and came up to her.

"Cherryl dress up and lets finally go to the taxi or we will be late to the airport." : I ran to my room and started dressing up, running around and finally taking the luggages down the stairs.

Me and my mom sat in the taxi. So the taxi driver started driving to the airport.

In the airport:

We waited for seven hours just to get on the plane because the plane was late but we finally got on it.

I thought I would write something more in the diary while we were on that plane. So that's exactly what I did.

Anyway I just found out from my mom that we will be staying in Canada for loger because the tickets cost a lot and she has lots of work there. So I'm finally thinking that I would have at least a bit more stability there. I'm pretty sure we will be staying there for at least a year. I'm so happy. That means that I would finally find myself some good friends maybe even a boyfriend. And also I speak english at home so that means that I don't have to learn the language to understand people. Also what I found out is that I will be going to summer school for the month. Wich sounds very boring to me. Well my mom said that aparently we won't be learning much but more socializing so thats the thing that sounds good about this summer school. Also we will be having lunches there. Wich is great over all.

Me just thinking after getting off the plane:

Twenty-four hours on that plane we spent. It was horrible and my back started to hurt even though it usually dosent. I want to finally look at the city and admire it es much es possible.

We were in Toronto aiport tired, grossed out and so sleepy. So we got in a cab and drove to the nearest hotel. I know it's been a lot of time since we got of the plane but we slept the whole time. We just woke up today. I'm surprised since this is a five star review hotel. I have no idea how my mom payed for it but somehow she managed even though we have a one bedroom room wich is not the gratest if I'm being honest. Finally it's breakfast time. I'm so hungry. My mom is asleep though. Thats why I'm writing in my diary right now. My mom is gonna try to find a flat to rent that is not so far from High School and University or College. So for now I will just try to fit in the summer school that I will go to in two days. About thouse two days before summer school I'm planning on exploring the town with my mom.

Cherryl and mom talking in the breakfast restaurant at a table:

"Mom are we goin to explore the town today or you are just going to find a flat or somethig else? Whats the plan?" : I asked.

" We are goin to town.": Mom said with smile on her face.

"Really?" : I asked.

"Of course sweetie.": Mom answered.

I had a big smile on my face my mom too. We were both over the moon with happiness.We both dressed up and went outside to explore the town. Believe me or not we were very suprised but not in a good way.

In Evrope and Asia were we been it's way more cleener there , way more cooler, way more old buildings and antique and vintage stuff, and newer tall skyscrapers and new stuff. Here in Canada it feels like we are stuck in time. In the old times. I didn't expect that everything is so different. I could never imagine that Canada would be so different. I mean people here are the gratest. So nice and kind. But I fell lost. There's lots of homeless people and weird people wondering around and the place overall looks scary. Maybe this is just my immigrant impression but i'm not so sure.

Its been ten days since I started going to summer school. It is so much fun we play games and socialize a lot. I love it there. It's in downtown I'm not so scared to go there anymore maybe thats because my mom drops me off there apparetly because her work is not far from my summer school. Were driving a bus there. We finally found a flat that we live in since 7/7/2001. Good that it hasn't been long time finding the flat. I have my own room.

I actually met some friends at the summer school. Emily is the one that is going to the same High School es I will go to wich is great. So I have one friend in my pocket now. lol. Basically she's like my minion. I don't even know why she is following me around so much. But whatever. It's not like I care much.

I know I'm going to the Toronto Wellington High School. Wich apparently is the greatest High Schools out there in Toronto.

Anyway I have to run or I will be late for summer school.

Toodles.
