Great.  It is the second week of school and I am already dying.  I'm quite sure I will soon just explode, because my body cannot handle all this PRESSURE.  I just finished my art critique, I know, I should have started earlier, but I honestly just wanted to do a really good job because I really CARE about Comp. Civ, and Ms. Dhar DESERVES to have me ( Read more... )

I really can't believe Harry Potter is over.  For life.  Woe is me.

WELL JUST GUESS WHO HAS FINISHED READING THE LAST HARRY POTTER BOOK.  JUST GUESS.  WHY, COULD IT BE YOUNG EMILY CAMPBELL???  WHY YES IT COULD.  ( Read more... )

Sometimes when I read certain books, I want to steal a car and run away.  I finished reading the Memory Keeper's Daughter, and I considered taking all my money and leaving my house.  But then there's the problem that I don't have my license, and the only place to run is like Alberta.  And I'm sorry, but that's just sad.  I've also found when I read ( Read more... )

Exams are OVER.  This is good.  Today was not so good.  I had to get up early today to go to prizegiving, which is this completely mean event designed to make people who don't win things feel bad about themselves.  And I'm not just saying this because I didn't get anything besides honour roll and an arts pin - even when I won stuff last year, I ( Read more... )

So, I made my mom a tape full of music (yes, a tape) for her car, since she only listens to the beatles and I decided she needed to branch out a little bit.  So I tried to select the most mellow music I had, because if I put like system of a down on there, her brain would probably start to bleed.  So I'm thinking I did a pretty good job.  But then ( Read more... )

It's Johnny Depp's birthday today.  REJOICE.  I think it should be declared a national holiday.  Maybe I should bake a cake or something today.  Or at least some sort of festive cookies.  IT WILL BE DONE.

I watched Music and Lyrics yesterday, and is it lame that I really liked it??  It was really cute, and Hugh Grant was all charmingly british, and ( Read more... )

Dear Ms. Park, who has come all the way from merry old England, has decided to assign us a project in our physical education class.  I think she needs to be informed of the following facts:

a) Here in CANADA, no one takes this class seriously.
b) Projects are reserved for classes in which we learn things more mentally challenging than how to maximize ( Read more... )

I've decided that I require a small animal of my very own to 'cure the lonely nights' (haha).  But I can't get one with fur, as my dear papa is quite allergic (which completely doesn't make sense since we had a cat for a long time).  So the options are: a hedgehog, a gecko, or FROGS.  I'm not really looking forward to the live-bug-feeding though...

So, let's review: I was sick yesterday with an ear infection, and did not go to school.  So, my drama teacher goes around telling everyone that my grandma died.  I'M SO CONFUSED.  I just don't really see how she made that connection - Emily is not in school = a relative died?!  Good God.

Also, yesterday was the Police concert, which I did NOT attend ( Read more... )
