a much-needed break...
It's like March break, but in October! For the next five days, I have a grand total of two classes to go to...thanks to the grade 10 literacy test (to think, there ARE some benefits to this new education system!) and a few ISP periods from a biology teacher who's been in an uncharacteristic good mood lately (can't decide whether I actually want to know WHY, but loving the end results!!) Friday's the dance at A.Y. and oh goodness, am I ever E-X-C-I-T-E-D!!!! I don't care how retarded everyone else may think it is...this is one of the only school events I look forward to every year - right up there with Pyjama Day and Karaoke in the Caf.
Here's something fun, if you've got a few minutes: QUIZZES heh heh heh...they're probably a waste of time, but they're fun and these ones are actually kinda interesting...not entirely the "he-loves-me-he-loves-me-not" junk in the magazines. There's one where you can see which kind of dog you're most like (there's one for you cat-lovers too...though why would you actually WANT to be compared to a cat?? :P )
Alrighty...I've got all these ideas for how I should spend this break I have...they're all good ideas, too...but they're (unfortunately) never gonna happen as long as I'm sitting here, trying to concoct a witty phrase or two. HAH...I'm so funny... :D

whew!
As I�ve already bitched about to some of you, I�ve just come out of what I affectionately termed my �week from HELL� (in actuality it lasted about 10 days, but �week� has a nice ring to it, don�t you think?). In that short time, I was expected to accomplish the following: three tests (one each for bio, chem, and English), two presentations (one half-hour in length for English and the other an ISP for chem), a university-level lab report (NOT one of those �purpose:�, materials:�, my observations:��� *bats eyelashes* - this one was five pages, typed), an in-class essay and a writing assignment. *BREATHE*� Wednesday was the peak of all the craziness, and I�d like to take this opportunity to apologize to those whom I verbally ripped to shreds on that day (though if it was on any other day, you probably deserved what you got).
ANYWAY�.it�s now Tuesday, and the beginning of a shortened week (which reminds me, THANKS! :D ) and it seems things have died down for the time being�I just have one thing left on my long-standing �to do� list, which is to read �The Watch That Ends the Night� for English. I�ve lost some of my initial interest in the book after some poopieheads (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!) ruined the ending for me, but I won�t do the same for y�all in case you ever have/want to read it. It�s still pretty good�I�m working my way through it, slowly but surely, and the only complaint I have is that it�s so damned LONG. But other than that�.I can�t WAIT to find out what happens to Catherine *dripping with sarcasm�*

happy belated b-day to me!
My 17th birthday came and went, and yet you wouldn�t know it from reading my postings�I�ve been so busy lately there�s barely been time to blink, let alone write out just how absitively posolutely splendiferous my day actually was�it�s the conspiracy all over again�our teachers bombard us with tests, projects, and assignments all due within that week, which of course leaves them free to have �socials� in the English rooms, with cookies and cakes and percolators full of steaming hot coffee�I don�t even like coffee but the thought of them enjoying themselves while we slave away at our desks till the wee hours of the�evening (I sleep early, you know that) makes me angry. Not that that�ll do me any good�I�m so sure the folks at Admissions at the U of Guelph are gonna look at my grades and go �ohhh�but she had Mr Werden, poor thing�let�s just give her a full scholarship��
But I digress. Back to my birthday: I just generally had a good day (despite having a biology test first period)�decorated locker, a cookie from Rocky (hey, that rhymes), a pen with a squishy grippy thing, my own balloon on the Enigma bulletin board, Vienetta ice cream, and just a general feeling of satisfaction and contentment that I have the bestest friends and family in the whole wide world. J �Also appreciated the opportunity to wear my �Cat in the Hat� hat�things are more fun when you�re wearing a funky hat :P
*sigh* alright�that�s about enough for today. All that work�s not going anywhere till I finish it�but maybe a piece of Vienetta will ease the pain�
