I haven't really done all that much this week. I have been working on my university applications, and I think I am just about ready to send them off. I just want to double/triple check my choices, and make sure that it is what I want to do. I am kind of worried that I will not be accepted into my first choice program, which is also really my only choice. There is only one school that I want to attend, and one program that I really want to do, which is English/Education. I do have a fallback choice, which is just studying English, and a second fallback of Northern and Polar Studies. Both of them are very interesting, and the Northern studies program seems very interesting, but I've had my heart set on teaching since I was little. It's what I've always wanted to do.
Campion, I do hope that your exams are going well. I know exactly what you mean by hand cramps during English. I wrote a test in English this week, and pretty much every 5 minutes I had to stop and stretch the muscles in my hand. I wish I really was ambidextrous, it would help so much in situations like that. The holidays are coming soon though, so hang in there and good luck.
Looking at your post, Kayla, I cannot believe it has only been a week since Remembrance Day. I guess last week was just too hectic and chaotic that my mind has pushed it away. As for the movie, it is probably another that I will never see. Though it did sound alright. Just not the type of thing I am into watching.
I hope your protest went well, Adam. Hopefully it does some good. College and university fees are getting outrageously high these days. It's nuts. No one ever seems to listen to the students, to the people that matter. Also, it's good to see that I am not the only one who looks at the blog statistics. I think it's cool that 'Cupcake Birthday' is one of our linking searchwords. It makes what I have done for birthdays a little more special.
It was funny that you mentioned David Tennant in the Harry Potter movie, Katie, as I had just watched that movie a few days before. And I was specifically looking for Tennant. He looks completely crazy as Barty Crouch Jr. It was a stark contrast to him as the Doctor.
I am jealous of you, Kate, that you are reading The Catcher in the Rye. I have wanted to read it for a while now. I have been to busy this year so far with English class and all of its required reading that I haven't been able to do any pleasure reading. It is very annoying, especially since I recently bought The Scorpio Races, which I have been waiting forever to read.
I found it strange for a moment that you had to copy and past an accent for your French, Kira, but then I remembered that I have a weird bilingual keyboard, and can put aççents on my lètters with just à kéystroke. It made my two years of French classes much easier, but it can be annoying when typing now.
Keep writing those NaNo novels, guys. I know that you will succeed, and that your stories will be amazing. Even if you don't end up writing the entire 50K, at least you tried. So keep calm, and don't forget to be awesome!
