Woah, Xanga went all crazy!
I haven't been on this is soo long now. haha, it's fun though to go through my old entries...
I do believe I've changed some. xD

Anywho. Once again, I'm procrastinating. From evil evil English. I'm just not that great at writing... except that I did really well on my English Provincial... ^^;; . Maybe that was just a fluke? O.o And same with math. I'm done with Math now... which makes me quite happy. I just need to figure out the rest of my life now, and start writing scholarship essays. Hah. yeah...

I'm going on Vacation this summer!! Gonna get myself a job (hopefully) in Calgary. boo yeah! haha, anywho wish me luck. ^^ And don't forget to SING your heart out!

Christmas. //Presents.//Boxing Day.

Big stressers.. but i suppose they don't have to be.
---

Homework//School//Volunteering

More Stressers. But that doesn't have to be either.
---

Media//Society//Government

Corrupt? Are we all brainwashed zombies that only believe we have the ability to think for ourselves?
---

Life // Future // Ambition

Crazy things to ponder on crazy days that wander.
---

--swim in a lake of confusion. Bask in the glory of accomplishment.--

I don't claim to ever make sense. I recommend not trying to make sense of my blabber. ^^

Oh, and

Merry Christmas everyone.
[screw politically correct]

Everyone has been so busy... Me included. However, I'm also buy procrastinating, which is REALLY REALLY BAD. I'm horrible. I know.

I'm just not in the mood for math.. But then I should really buckle down as I'm about 4 assignments behind. Ugh! I'm pretty sure I just failed my math quiz today.. and then the there's a test coming up... So I guess the importance of studying right now is really quite urgent if I intend to get at least a B on my report card.

Oh man, report cards are coming out on thursday. I'm so screwed... I'm just really scared for Math...

haha, I'd rather SingSingSing anyday than do evil Mathmathmath.

YeahYeah SYMPOSIUM 2006!!!!! Experience REALITY.
I'm a new person.
The world is ours to make a difference.

So I've been helping out with Metfest recently... I'm going to be doing backstage/techie stuff... So far it's been uber awesome... We learned to use the Genie.. the elevator thing that lifts you up. And I learned how to open up the wall between the Caf, and the Stage (there's a double wall, and it's heavy.. but fun to open. My right arm was sore after that... >.<) I think I'm going to be doing props... Don't know how that's going to be just yet... but I'll figure it out. I'm really enjoying this year so far... been keeping busy. ^^ That's always fun.

Hmm... I failed my most recent math quiz... 4.5 / 12. I felt... quite stupid. haha, but I guess Math Honours prepared me for that... I hate looking at my old test marks. >.< I'm hoping I did well on my Test on friday. Math just isn't my thing... But I think I'm going to do Calculas... just for the heck of it? Does it make sense for me to do it ... It'll be an accomplishment, going through with something I'm really not too fond of. I endured. Stuck with it... right? A beautiful Evil. It's everywhere.

I'm going to DISNEY LAND this Spring!!! Magic Music Days!!! xP Going wtih the choir.. except I'll be missing a bunch of academic courses... >.< Catching up will SUCK. But I'm thinking the experience will be worth it. Do we need a passport to cross the border? Hmm... I'll have to ask about that.

Anywho... I must sleep now. >.> How will I grow otherwise... xD [oyasuminasai]

So yeah.. I went with the school to see the Dalai Lama. That was cool. I it was an amazing experience, and he was so cute and down-to-earth... I feel bad for not being as attentive as I could have been. I also feel bad because I was nodding off... just a bit. I didn't actually fall asleep though, so yay!

I'm thinking of applying at A&W... they're hiring everywhere for all positions. Wonder what they'd pay.... >.>

You know what really sucks? feeling stressed out. Maybe the psycho murderer dude in Montreal was stressed out? I can see how it'd make you crazy. Stress leads to Depression.... which just plain sucks. haha.

Yeah... I'm going crazy.

Soo... I had my first day of work on the 18th.... that was >_> interesting. [actually not. It was really really slow.] Kinda sucked, dress code required tucking my shirt into my pants. >< and the pants go really high. so yeah.

Highlight of my first day: sunburnt. My cheeks are temporarily permanently red. Of course that doesn't make any sense, but that's okay. Actually... it's not. They ITCH!!! GAHHH!

I met Jas! We were taking the same bus home and I was like... "you look like someone I know..." and then I was rewarded with an "Alex's Sister!" But yeah, he's still a crazy genius. Turns out Mr.Tam is going to his school as a wrestling coach.... the crazy wrestler he is! Actually, I enjoyed the wrestling unit in PE with him... haha, can you picture me wresting? I sucked at it. But the exercises before you wrestle were quite fun. ^^

haha, it's quite funny watching alex wait for the computer. Stomping around.... "Done yet?" xD and here he is now... trying not to smile... then laughing at and reading everything I'm writing, which of course he'll see eventually. Brothers are crazy. I have 4 minutes on the computer left, and I intend to use them. So too bad Alex. MUAHAHAHHA
