life was so much easier when boys had cooties....

Oh man. Totally crushing. It's been what, not even a week, and there's already someone catching my attention. It's funny how over summer, I promised myself not to let boys get in the way of my learning...I was using that for an excuse anyways... and here I am, as I said before, not even a week into school. And I'm crushing. And of course, he is the typical jerk jock with a pinch of boy-next-door, and a dash of smartness which rounds him off perfectly. And, as always, he is way out of my league. There always seems to be a girl smarter, or prettier who seems to catch the eye of this cutie, while I stand by on the sidelines and watch with my infected eye. But, we talked for the first time today, and I am pretty sure that my blushing and the fact that i was stuttering were both very noticeable, and may have given away my secret crush.

In other news, my eye is officialy healing *knock on wood*. It was looking quite grody for a while, but it is now slowly but ever so itchily, healing. I showed two of my friends the picture of my eye, and both reactions were said with disgusted amusement...which is always the best kind.

The weather is quite bad today...chilly and cloudy. But for once, I am not wanting to cozy up under a blanket and wish for summer to come back (has it already left ?). No, instead, I have pulled on sweats and a baggy t-shirt, and am planning to stay like that for the rest of the night. Which also means that there is no way I am going to be leaving the house tonight.

I am also applying for a job on Tuesday, at a building where all of the big concerts are held. I'm not sure yet if there is the best place for me to work, just because I feel as if I should be doing something more....fun(?). But, we will see if I am going to get hired but this big building. But I believe I will because my cousin and I are applying, and my cousin has definite connections.

Well, I am now off to go and cozy into a blanket and wish for summer (jk).

signing off.....

Oh No!

Three words for you before I go to bed...

Too Much Homework.... who knew the begining of the rest of our lives was going to be so challenging....

Ohmylordy...

So today's blog is going to be really short. And the reason for that is because I am already feeling the pressures of school to get exceedingly good marks. And for me to get an exceedingly good mark in chemistry 30, I am having to relearn all of chem 20 in three days (three weekend days, i might add). So my today has been filled with moles, and aluminum and electrons...not exactly what I was wanting to deal with on my first weekend after school started. Another thing school related that is quite bothersome is the fact that my social teacher has decided that my class would benefit by labeling the map of Canada...and no, you were wrong if you thought the major cities and provinces...we also have to label about 20 different lakes and rivers. Now, I would understand the importance of this assignment if we were going to have to study the main lakes and rivers of Canada...but when the curriculum states that you must learn about globalization and consumerism for a semester...it makes you wonder if this project is just a big waste of time (?).

Today was quite exciting for me, because for the past seven months, the one computer my family owns was in my room...meaning that i never had any privacy because i have a (now) thirteen year old sister (need i say more?). So, after many months of complaining, my father has finally decided to move the computer out of my room, and into my basement. I can't describe how happy it makes me, but at the same time...I felt as if I were immature for all those times that I complained about not having any privacy in my room...considering the fact that at the moment, our house has three bedrooms, and five people...so I'm the only family member not having to share a room. And now I have all the privacy I want...but does that count me as being immature or spoiled?

The First of Many

Alright. my first blog post. how exciting! i don't exactly know what you're supposed to put onto these things...so this is my attempt. Things have been quite intense the last week....well, more intense than what i'm used to in boring ol' saskatchewan. You see, it's that time of year again that all high school students dread, and little kids and commercial stores look forward to...yes, school. Now, had I been going to a high school where i actually knew people, i don't think that this week would have been so terrible...but of course, i know no one at my school because people here tend to be very specific when it comes to the type of people that they will associate themselves with.

As well, this year is grade twelve for me...and oh my god (!) I don't know if I am ready for it. I guess that we will just have to se what is going to end up happening...and I have a feeling that the next ten months will be some, if not completely, of the toughest months that I have ever experienced. Take chemistry 30 for example... I didn't pay attention in chemistry 20 (through no fault of my own) and I now am having to have my father AND my chemistry teacher teaching me stuff outside of school...on my own time...when I could be doing less productive things...such as watching tv...or the latest brotherhood 2.0 video.

Today and yesterday have also marked the days of my sisters birthdays. On the less desirable side, the past two days have been filled with spoiled "teeny-boppers" (as my parents say) who request that they don't clean or get treated unfairly. But, on the much more desirable side, the past two days have meant two days of eating cake. mmmmm. I must say that after the cake is gone, it will seem as if having no cake is quite out of the ordinary.The past two days have also been quite warm, so now, with the air conditioner borrowed from my grandmother, my parents have set it up...but now it is too cold in my house, and i risk the threat of losing my toes and fingers at any second. It seems amazing how hard it is to be the perfect temperature, and when it is too cold, people will complain that they want heat, but when it is too hot, people will long for the cold winters. How ironic...

One more thing that I would like to write about tonight, are my friends. I miss them entirely too much, and am hoping that I will some day soon be able to travel across plain, flat saskatchewan, into beautiful Alberta. Right now they are probably trying to soak up the last few moments of summer before school starts for them, so I am wishing them all the best in their attempts to enjoy the remaining moments that they have before grade twelve...or the begining of the rest of our lives, you could say...begins.
