Tick Tock

Today I woke up to a big bang.  When I looked over I saw that my brothers computer fell of the top bunk onto the floor.  He woke up like five minutes later and asked what the noise was.  I pointed to the floor to answer his question.  Then I realized my grandparents were coming today.  When I woke up I got ready ate breakfast-for the first time in like 20 years-and started school.  I just read a bunch of poems by Shakespeare and Robert Frost and answered questions.  I heard that my school is pretty easy compared to some peoples back home.  Then we started cleaning.  Around the time we were basically done cleaning it was time for my sister and mother to go and pick up my grandparents.  It was about a three hour drive to Picton.  During that time I got the sheets from the drying rack outside and made the beds.  Then I waited and waited and waited.  Finally I got really bored and went to do some random stuff.  For the first time in at least a year I got on instagram again.  Then I read some more for school and sketched some random stuff like the logo for my ukelele case.  Then I went downstairs to make dinner.  I made the most complicated meal in the world. Mac and cheese.  After my first incident with it I was hoping to not burn it.  It turned out all right.  Then I went to watch a documentary on Queen Elizabeth and what it was like to grow up in the palace.  Then I made some tea and watched My Kitchen Rules.  If you have not heard of it it is because it is based on people from New Zealand and Australia.  The two people I wanted to go home did.  Then random shows came on but I stayed downstairs because I couldn't think of anything else to do.  When they did arrive at 9:30 we had a short time to talk because everyone was tired.  My grandpa came in saying "The roads could not have been curvier."  I laughed at this because in the past two months I have seen curvier.  Then my grandma wanted ice water.  In New Zealand they basically do not believe in ice so you have to go to the store and buy these little things where you can make ice.  Also there is not a freezer in the fridge so you have to go outside and get it.  Then we asked them how Winter was going and they said it was in the 20's and it was snowing and sleeting.  I answered my saying it has been in the 20's here to because 20 degrees celsius is about 70 degrees and it can range from 50 to about 85.  Then we all got ready and went to bed.
