This morning my siblings and I had a dentist appointment.  My brother and I went first because my mom and my sister had to go to Savemart to get some groceries. I was taken in to have my teeth cleaned within the first five minutes of arriving in the lobby. The woman who was assigned to clean my teeth was very nice and we talked about spring break and about school.
After my teeth were cleaned, I went to go see how my younger sister was doing. She was int he room right next to mine. When I walked in, I was surprised to see that my sister was very calm. She just sat in her chair without any protest as the dentist poked at her teeth. I was proud that she was very mature about the whole situation. Overall, it was a pretty good day that ended with a good badminton practice.

Today was the day when I finally got contacts. My brother had to get new glasses and I was to be fitted for contact lenses. I was pretty nervous about getting contacts. I was worried that it would be hard to put them in and take them out. However, I knew it would beneficial to me because it would mean I wouldn't have to wear glasses when playing badminton. It would make it easier for me. Once my optometrist gave me the contact lenses and taught me how to use them, I figured out that it wasn't that bad.
For the rest of the day, I had to get used to my new contacts. My eyes were kind of out of focus for a few hours, but it wasn't too bad. I also went to my dad's work place after getting my contacts. I told him about the optometrist and about the contacts. We then went home and bought In-N-Out for dinner.

My plan for today was to stay at home and babysit my brother and my baby sister. We each spent our time doing different activities. My brother spent the whole day playing his new videogame and my sister spent her time playing on her Nintendo DS. I spent my time on my phone and watching TV. Honestly, I enjoy spending time with my siblings because I never know what to expect with them. They are full of surprises.
During practice today, I felt like I worked really hard. I improved on certain concepts that my coach wanted me to work on. It was also a fun practice because I got to play a few games. When I came home, I was welcomed with a great dinner consisting of rice and chicken. My mom is a great cook. Hopefully tomorrow there will still be leftovers.

Today, I stayed at home with my sister. She woke me up due to her singing in the hallways. My mom had planned for me to babysit her at home while she took my brother to get a videogame. THey left around 9:30 AM. Afterwards, my sister and I snuggled up on the couch and she watched her shows on Disney Junior.
When my mother came home she told me that my siblings and I had a dentist appointment on Friday. I was surprised to find out that my sister was going to get her teeth cleaned. It would be her first time sitting in the dentist's chair. Hopefully she wouldn't be nervous. I ended the day with a two and a half hour practice for badminton.

Today I woke up feeling refreshed. My plans for today included going to work with my mom. She was planning to have my brother and I file papers at her office. I never enjoyed this task because it was time consuming and boring. Once I got there and started the filing, I realized it wasn't as bad as usual. I think it was because my brother was there to help me.
After a few hours, my mom took my brother, sister, and I to a milk tea place in Fremont called Gong Cha. I really enjoy the milk tea there because you can control the amount of sweetness you want in your drink. The pearls they make are also really good. They are really soft, but still chewy. Then, all of us went home and I had to change to get ready for practice. Practice was very enjoyable and I'm glad that I went. Exercising and moving around after eating a ton of food made me feel better.
