My, oh my, oh my...it's been what...a whole MONTH since I've last blogged!?! More than that...actually=S Anyhoo...for those who have been faithful enough (or maybe crazy enough...*cough*David*cough) to check this every single day for the past month in which I didn't update...here's what you've been waiting for!!! hehe...

So...what have I been up to since the new year began...Studying, homework, EXAMS=P But as crazy as 1st semester was - with calc, gr.11 bio, English, and algeo - I actually ended with better marks than I had hoped for...and NO, I did NOT get perfect in calculus=P

As for semester 2...which feels like I've been in for a while already...I've got all 3 gr.12 sciences (unfortunately chem with Christensen, yet again...) and design tech. There haven't been too many assignments...just a lot of homework every nite...and well, design tech, we're designing a classmate's "dream cottage"...but mine's turning out to be a mini dream getaway condo thing...don't ask...But yeah...a LOT of work in that course. Especially since I've gotta learn how to use DataCad and draw 4 floorplans within this upcoming week=S

Other than that...what else have I been up to...hmm...OH YES! Earlier this month, I got myself listening to Mr. Graham's stuff he had online...it's REALLY good...I think, anyways=P For those who don't know who Mr. Graham is, well, he's one of the two music teachers at school. And outside of being a secondary school music teacher, he has a band of his own...and he happened to get a debut CD out last year. Anyhooey, for those who are interested, check out his site at: www.chrisgrahammusic.com =)

Here's one of the songs I like (in terms of lyrics):

GONE AMERICAN
Everything�s gone American,
This is the world we�re living in,
It�s not a war that we can win,
As long as we�re always giving in.
Everything�s gone American,
Tell me a place I�ll show you when,
They put a dirty finger in,
Looking for Benjamins within.

Well I know there�s people out there too,
Who believe that freedom�s not just for me and you,
So many voices, but whose choices,
Are we letting them divorce us from our souls, from our souls.

CHORUS:
I long to be free again,
Now everything has gone American,
I long to breathe you in again,
But everything has gone American.

Everything�s gone American,
God Bless us all in all Amen,
Let�s close our eyes and count to ten,
Maybe we can begin again.
Everything�s gone American,
Is this the way it�s always been?
Somehow it gets under your skin,
Where does spin end and truth begin?

And I know, I know it�s starting to grow,
There�s no way you�re gonna hear this song played on Uncle Sams� radio,
So many voices, but whose choices,
Are we letting them divorce us from our souls, from our souls.

CHORUS

Fast food on the moon, it�s coming soon,
Exhaust on mars, I�m seeing space cars,
On the top the world there�s a hole in the sky,
Someday we�re all gonna be deep fried.
Now all my blues are turning grey,
Somebody take away the paint.

Everything�s gone American,
Is this the world we�re living in?
Let�s close our eyes and count to ten.

Well...hope you guys check it out=) As for me, Dad's calling for dinner, so I better go=P

Hope you're all doing well!
