Today it was absolutely gorgeous outside, I could barely handle it. I am so so excited for spring, and even better yet, summer. Being young and free and LEGAL. It's going to be fantastic.
Last night I went to go see Alice in Wonderland. It was soo good. I am actually kidna surprised by how much I liked it. I really wasn't expecting to love it, but I totally did and I want to see it again even! Haha crazy, I know.
Anyway. After the movie, I went to Tim Hortons with Thomi, Derek, Dylan and Jarred. Yahoooooo. I love hanging out with Thomasss, she's hilarious and great. We then journeyed to Jarred's house and watched the absolute worst kung fu movie I have ever seen. It was actually more ridiculous than anything I have ever seen. I don't remember the name, but but involved an "Axe Gang" and it was just.. haha soo stupid. God. I don't know how people even come up with that kind of stuff.
Anyways, the last couple of days have been grand. I had to write or else I would be breaking my promise to myself, but I'm not that inspired now haha so I'll write again soon.
Peace and love :)

Oops, it's been a while...
Sorry about taking so long to write again. Life has been quite busy lately, but I know that's no excuse! I need to write, even when I'm busy. I'll do better!
Alright, what have I been up to since I last wrote...
Oh, yes. I attended CSLC Lead the Stampede. It's the Canadian Student Leadership Conferene that is held each year, and this year it was in Olds, Alberta. I ended up going because I'm on my schools Student's Union, and I didn't go to ASLC (the alberta version) when the rest of the group did. It started last Tuesday and didn't end until the Saturday. This was.. September 22-26. Before I left, I was a bit worried.. this being my first year on Student's Union, and my first ever conference.. I was scared everyone was going to be preppy little goody goods. But when I got there, within the first probably 10 minutes I met some people who were really nice and seemed very.. real. Down to earth, kind, the whole bit. I was happy to find this and I realized that all of the people here were probably just like me. They probably all wanted to do something for the world, to make something of their life and make something good come out of their actions. It sounds so corny, but it's absolutely true. I loved it. Then we were put into our spirit groups, which was quite the experience.. our group was quite spirited to say the least. The tenacious tumbleweeds - I think the name says it all. Anyways, I clicked right away with a few people, so that was wonderful. Then the next day we had keynote speakers, workshops, everything.. It was just absolutely amazing. To learn that there are so many other people out there who think just like me, and want to do something to help! I just couldn't even believe it. I know that I keep saying this, but it's just how i feel. I loved feeling like I wasn't the only one, that there actually are other people out there that feel the same way. Anyways.. yes. It was a fantastic experience. I'll write more ion the speakers and everything later, I just want to touch on some other points here tonight :)
The day that I left for CSLC I got my French 30 information in the mail. Oh man, what a crazy course.. I was looking through the package the other day, with all the textbooks and workbooks and pages of stuff I have to do.. Haha I think it'll take a while for me to complete this course :P But that's alright. I'm excited to get my 30 level in a second language! It'll be quite the accomplishment. Hopefully I do quite well.
Oh, that brings me to the next thing I wanted to write about! This Friday in drama class a lady came in from U of A. She gave us a lot of good information, and I really learned a lot through her presentation. She mostly talked about drama, and getting your Bachelor of Arts of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama, but she had some other interesting things to say as well. Such as, the grade average last year for people entereing to get a Bachelor of Arts was only 75%, and they then lowered that to 70% because they had more room. That is just fantastic news for me. I plan on getting good grades this year, and hopefully getting an average of high 70's or low 80's, but this is just such a relief.. As long as all the people applying this year aren't extremely smart, then I should be in for sure! So yay :) It's rather exciting. At the same time though, I don't want to get too excited just in case I end up not getting in.. I think that'd be pretty terrible. So I won't think of it as a sure thing just yet!
On Monday I totally got a new car! I can't believe that I forgot to say this, oh my goodness! My Aunt's fiance's mother bought a new car and was going to give away her old one, so I got it! It's a 1990 Acura Integra. It's not the greatest thing, but I absolutely love it! It's so much better than my old car, you have no idea. It has a stereo, it has cruise, power windows, all that jazz! Oh and also AC :) So it's pretty much 18471389057105 times better than my Tempo. It's also mujch more attractive, so that's awesome. I'm just so glad about it! It needs an expensive part, but the way that I see it, as soon as that part is in it'll be ready to go, and that could be done right away, within the next couple of weeks, the next 2 weeks maybe? It's just soooo great. I've gone too long without transportation, it will be so nice to be able to get out of the house again every once in a while, without my parents having to drive everywhere.
Ahh, one more thing to talk about before I sign off. I am so, so, so excited for Halloween, it's almost a bit ridiculous. I've got 2 different costumes, I can't wait! The 29th of October is the dance at school, it's "the Night of the Livinf Dead". I came up with the name, no big deal haha. It's going to be so sweet. Holli and I got decorations last week, so it's going to be awesome decorating and putting everything up :) So for the dance I'm going to be a dead cheerleader haha woot woot! I'm thinking of getting a bloody knife to stick out of my chest, I think that'd be fantastic! Then for actual halloween (which I got off of work, unlike last year!) I'm going to be a dark fairy.. I have huge black wings and I'm going to do crazy makeup and all that. It's going to be amazing. I can't freaking wait! Holli and I and all of our crew are gouing to party it up, since halloween is on a saturday. It'll be great. The only bad thing is that I think I have to work the next day, cause I'm pretty sure that's my weekend to work.. But oh well! It's totally worth it haha I don't even really mind.
Okay, well I've been writing for ages, so I think I will go now. Ta ta! I'll write again soon, no worries.

I can't believe I forgot to write about this..
In August, I went on a 19 day canoe trip. What an experience. Anyways, I won't write about it now. This will just act as a reminder for myself to write about it the next time I'm on here. So, look forward, phantom readers!
Musings on a scintillating day.
Today I had to get up at 5:30 in the morning for a Student's Union event. Great. The best part is that when I get there, the teacher supervisor yells and shouts about how I have to get moving. Like, really? I'm pretty sure that i showed an immense amount of dedication by showing up on time even though i live 1\2 an hour out of time. UGH!
But, not going to let it bring me down. I am confident, competent, and successful. So hah.
My parents and family members have been telling me that I should start writing articles and submit them to my almost-auntie, who is the owner of a local magazine. It would be monumentally freakin' amazing to be published, but, I'm kinda scared to do it. I don't even know why, but I totally am. I think that I'm just going to try and bite the bullet though. If I write a couple of articles and give them to Kim then maybe she'll publish them. If not, it's no hair off my back. Skin off my back? I don't remember how it's supposed to go. BUT, you get the gist. :)
So, this weekend is Jarred and my (grammar? ah who knows.) ONE YEAR ANNI. Yeah, I know. I can't freakin' believe it either. The weirdest part about it is knowing that in another year, I will (HOPEFULLY!) be off at U of A, starting a completely different life. It's just so... odd, you know? I mean, how many people really stay with their high school boyfriend in university? I think it'd be so hard to start over like I want to if I was still with him. But at the same time, I have no intention of losing contact with my best friends.. So what's my deal? Maybe I'm just scared 'cause a year is such a long time. I really don't know.
HAH. I love looking at facebook pictures and seeing people looking like demon babies. It really brightens up my day, 'cause if you can put pictures like that on the internet, where anyone can see it, you've gotta be pretty damn confident in yourself. And confidence is amazing :)
Alright. Oh, I was going to end my entry there, but I just realized I forgot to talk about my drama class! Well. My drama class is crazy. It's full of... unusuals, lets put it that way. The people who shower only occasionally, put deoderant on even more rarely, and don't really understand social cues. It's great. I love being in a class with so many of them because, as horrible as it sounds... I don't care about impressing them. No matter what I do, they will not care, because they do things a trillion times weirder. I'm sure some people would hate the class, 'cause there are a lot of people who aren't "cool", but I absolutely love it. It does help that I love drama class :) but that's alright haha. OH, and I'm also making new friends in the class. And my bestttters Holli is in it, so it's fantastic. Anyways, to sum up : drama class owns.
OKAY. I think that's enough writing now :) So, peace outt! I will write again soon.
PS. Did you notice that I didn't take a whole month to write again?! Yay, progress.

Wow, long time no post.
Well, it's been nearly three months since I've posted on this blog. Clearly this change thing isn't so easy :P
Actually, I am feeling like I've been having success in that area lately. I've been making new friends, getting closer to the people that make me happy, and getting further away from the people that make me feel like crap.
It's really quite refreshing.
Hm, since I last posted, I have:
1. got rid of those nasty partying habits. funnily enough, it happened during spring break, which is pretty much THE party time.
2. brought up my marks in both physics and bio, thank GOD.
3. started hanging out with pretty much the coolest person ever, she's my very own hollister :P
4. broke up with my boyfriend, got over my stupid anger, and then got back together with him. again, THANK GOD.
5. met said boyfriends parents, finally. scary scary scary, but really not as bad as i thought it would be.
6. gotten closer with my mum and dad, actually started to talk to them again. that's always a bonus.
7. become much more positive.. it was a long time coming, that's for sure.
8. got some AMAZING new shoes.. totally not relevant but I don't really care :P
8. last, but most definitely not least... I have finally begun to stand up to people when they do things that I really detest. I think it's quite a big step. Yay :)
Well.. Hopefully it won't be 3 more months before I post again, but who knows, high school is pretty crazy busy. I'll try and keep you updated. Thanks for reading!

Change is in the air.
As a high school student, change is quite common. Friends change, interests change, personalities change.. and I find it quite interesting that many students view this as a bad thing. Not me though. I like change. Well, I try to anyways.
Today was my fathers birthday, and at dinner we were discussing what mainstream is. I found it quite interesting. I don't consider myself to be too mainstream, I feel like I have different ideas than most people and that I dress differently and do different things. But stepping back and looking at it tonight.. I realized that I am soo alike to so many people that I know. And while that's not a bad thing, my new year's resolution (a little late i know) is to be uniquely maintream. I want to have my own ideas and do my own thing. This blog is going to be my documentation of that. Wish me luck! :)
