Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all!! Sometimes I love the Christmas season beyond belief, but other times I hate all the stress and pressure I seem to feel. And my family feels it too. We seem to be a lot more snappy and irritable in the days leading up to Christmas. And it's not right. We should be celebrating and joyful, not cranky and unpleasant.

Candy grams are finally finished. According to Weiss, we raised about $200 more than they did last year, but there are some problems with counting and stock and such. I'm going to have to review everything over the break and double check it all. We shall see.

Oh! Birthday soon. Me excited. Can now drive. YES!!!

Question. Why do Jacqui and Kaeli use my blog to carry on conversations when they could just as easily email one another?

Did I mention that the Christmas Banquet was a lot of fun? Well it was. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I've been getting very little sleep lately. Last night was the first time I've gotten more than six hours of sleep in one night. Not a good thing, but I think I'll make it thorough Christmas now.

To all the Scrooges and Bob Cratchits out there, enjoy your Christmas and time with your family. And remember Jesus in that manger, as He is the real reason for the season.

Death to Candygrams

I hate candy grams. I've done a lot of organizing for this stupid thing, and it starts on Monday, and we're not even close to being ready. And if it flops, the group that I'm working with will take the fall. And I, being the one who organized most of the whole stupid thing, will feel completely guilty. I wish Weiss had given us more notice. But all is said and done now.

It's starting to feel like Christmas. We're actually thinking about getting our tree soon, and my banquet dress is almost finished. I don't know if I'll look as good as Squid predicts, but we'll see. I love the fabric, though. Almost Gothic in colour, which I'm not in any way, but it contrasts against my pale skin. Not pale because I spend all my time inside, but because I don't tan.

Math class on Friday was fun. At least, I enjoyed it. I spent a lot of the class catching up with the other kids that I haven't talked to in years. It's really weird how much they changed after not seeing them all the time for two years. So strange, but some of them look exactly the same and the others look completely different. Plus I realized that all the guys that used to have to look up to talk to me now have to look down. Even guys like Alec who was way shorter than me a couple years ago.

Now the weekend's almost over, but it's okay. It's been semi-relaxing.

Oh, I found out that my cousin, whom I'm tutoring in French, got an A on his last test, so his mom is taking the two of us out to a movie over the Christmas break. I'm so proud of him. ~wipes away tear~

Also, my parents and I decided to stop accupuncture because it was costing a lot of money ($60 a session) and not causing any improvement. We're thinking about seeing a doctor in Vancouver that specializes in neurokinesis. Prayer would be much appreciated as we contemplate the next step in all of this. Thanks!

Late Night Ramblings

Grr. I hate writing resumés and cover letters. It's ridiculously difficult. How am I supposed to "sell myself" when I hate talking about myself? Odd for a person that has a blog, yes, but the truth, nonetheless.

The volleyball team windup party was today, and it was a blast. We hung out for a bit, waiting for the coaches to arrive, and then we sat down and had a talk. They're going to coach my club team this year!! I'm quite excited. Anyway, after that we ate pizza and just talked. After Coach Brad left, the rest of us girls and Russ played Taboo. It was so much fun!! Also, Coach Brad seemed to enjoy making fun of my vocabulary. I love the two of them as coaches. Club's going to be awesome this year.

Oh, I'm finally getting to tutor again, after two weeks. First I had to cancel because of volleyball, and then last week because of the weather.

I've been on here for an hour or so, working on homework, and my eyes are starting to hurt. Oh well, I'm almost done.

Mom's almost done Squid's dress, so she's going to start mine over the week. Squid looks so pretty in her dress. It makes me smile. She's such an adorable girl. If any guys try anything, I'll kill 'em.

Ahem.

School tomorrow. Yeah. Actually, not that bad because I get to see all of my darling friends again after a weekend of separation.

I should probably shut it down. The laptop's starting to get hot. G'night, all.

K'an ben sini. ~Bambara

Hello From The Laptop

He he. I discovered that I can update from my mommy's laptop. So that's what I'm doing.

I just finished a huge amount of Socials homework, but I'm proud to say that now I'm completely familiar with Microsoft Excel. Now I have to get started on the ridiculous amount of Planning. Tomorrow.

I went to see Deja Vu last night with Abbye and James. It was an amazing movie. My mind's still mulling over what happened - it's so confusing and thrilling at the same time. A lot of violence, though.

I apologize for the last post. Actually, I'm not sorry at all. I'm quite amused by my own brilliance.

Yeah, right.

You know, I actually don't have all that much to say. Whatever.

Giga-waabamin. ~Ojibwe

At Stephie's Behest

Stephie, brat that she is, has demanded that I update. Therefore, here is my update:

I am still alive. That is all you need to know.

Vi ses sénare. ~Swedish
