No NaNo

   I think it's safe to say that everyone has had a decent week. I know that my week has been better than the last. I've been sleeping better (which is an amazement all in its own), and I've been able to keep up with my work without stressing out like mad. The only downside to my week is that I've had a cold, but I seem to be through the worst of it now.

   We have a long weekend this weekend, and my family and I are going into the city for some appointments and to spend some time shopping and being together. I am hoping to get some early Christmas shopping done, though I have no clue right now as to what to get anyone. It will be great, since I don't really get to see my dad at all during the week, as he works during the hours that I am at home, and sleeps when I'm at school.

   My Hallowe'en was nothing special this year. I sat on the couch doing homework, (and freezing, as I sick), while my mum gave out the candy. I didn't even watch any movies or Hallowe'en specials like I have in past years. Also, since I was sick, I didn't wear a costume at school. I was planning to, just black angel wings, but I was feeling too horrible.

   I am like you in the subject of aliens, Kayla. I believe that we cannot be as unique as we make ourselves out to be. With such a huge universe as they tell us there is, with millions of stars and planets, there has to be some other form of living creature out there. And of course, since it does not live on Earth, it would be alien to us. Little green martian-like creatures would be neat, but I'd accept anything.

   I have thought about taking a vow of silence, though never during school. I don't think I could go a day of not talking to my friends, or giving my opinion on something. Also, I don't think my teachers would appreciate it. But one day when I'm not at school I might. Just to see what changes when my voice is not around.

   Congrats on your grades, Kate. You did wonderful! I'm sure you did the best you could, and that you will be able to keep them up sufficiently through the rest of the year. And at least your teacher allowed you to redo your assignment, instead of just taking away marks.

   Adam, I wish it were Saturday. But at least the weekend is almost here. One more day! I am jealous that you got to see a Rocky Horror showing, its something I've wanted to see since reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I hope your week was fun, and that your test went well.

   Your posts are never boring, Kira. Or annoying. I've never read The DaVinci Code, or watched the movie. It sounds really good, also a bit confusing. My Hallowe'en was good, all things considered.

   Exams suck, Campion. Good luck. Hopefully all of the studying you have been doing will kick in, and you will ace them. The Armageddon Expo sounds really cool. I've never been to anything like that, but I'd like to. Glad you are having fun in between studying, and not stressing too much.

   I am not doing NaNoWriMo this year. I was thinking about doing it, but since I have a lot of work already, and am tired all the time, I decided against it. Plus, I find that a looming deadline just makes me produce bad writing. I'd prefer to write in my own time, when I feel like it. But all to people who do NaNo, if it works for you, that's awesome.

Don't forget to be awesome!
