Schoolio

Good morning, afternoon or night all my loyal readers.

I'm am extremely sorry that i haven't posted a new, umm, post in the last few weeks, but hear me out! School just started, and the homework is total torture. It hard for people that don't go to my school to understand the kind of homework we do, from my my social studies teacher's story maps, to the hour-long math pages that we do on a daily basis. But that not saying that i don't like my school year. The teachers are so cool, and its just such a joy to walk in every day, and to learn things that i didn't even think about learning. Comparing this to 5 oaks is too hard, because over here, I'm really being challenged, and I know that this is the school i want to be in in order to live a productive life. The only melancholy thing about this year is knowing that almost all my friends are leaving in order to, and i quote(!), " have a normal high school year", which i think is really ridiculous, no offense Ryan! So, i beg of you, if one of my friends is reading this, please please please stay! IB AND MYP is an amazing opportunity, so trust me!

Another this that has happened to me recently is the trip that i took to Seattle. For me, it was an amazing experience, from seeing Pike Place to going into this chocolate bar place( the best words to describe it) In case you don't know, I'm a total foodie, and just to see the love and passion that the people in Pike Place put in their ingredients was a once in a lifetime experience, and i even got a garlic and Rosemary pasta from papardelles. if you think I'm rambling, please be tolerant! I There is nothing i respect more than food! Anyways, after i shared that same story and experience to all my family members back home, i got up to reading an INSANELY dark and cynically funny book called Fight Club. Now, i don't want to spoil anything, but i will say that the ending is absolutely and totally unexpected, and your mouth will be hanging like the thing in a grandfather clock. So if i continue to talk about this, I will accidentally give it away!

Now, to change the subject from spoilers, i have an amazing restaurant review for you! The restaurant is called Decarli, and its food its mostly a modern rustic fusion, with a menu that changes daily, offering Beaverton a unique gourmet experience. We called for a reservation, and immediately got there ( we found out about the restaurant by going on restaurant.com and getting a 25 dollar coupon) So we get in, everything nice and dandy, and immediately order. The food is a little on the expensive side, but considering that everything that can be made from scratch is, and all the meets and fish come from Oregon. Our appetizer was a plate of polenta fries with a Gorgonzola butter. Amazing! The polenta melted in your mouth, and the Gorgonzola perfectly complimented the softness. We waited another half hour for our main courses, which was understandable, because there was a HUGE table of random dudes, about 20 of them, and the chefs had to make everything to order. I had a house made Cheese ravioli with lobster mushrooms in a light butter sauce, my mother had a steak, and my father had a piece of cod which was served with lentils, lemon, capers, and basil. The cod was the last one of the evening, so we felt extremely lucky to have gotten it. There aren't enough words in the English language to describe the food. It was absolutely Delicious. Everything was a la carte, and the flavors were just harmonious. To top it all of, we had a desert of vanilla bean panna cotta, with a fig and balsamic vinegar top. You might think that sounds gross, but if you had a bite, you'd understand the pleasure i got from each and every bite. So, if you are looking for an amazing place to celebrate, Decarli is the place to go!
That concludes this post, and stay tuned for the newest one!
