Ah this sucks, I completely forgot that I had to post today... well yesterday technically. I did think about it earlier but then I got caught up watching Star Trek and it slipped my mind completely.
But anyway, this week has gone really well. It was pretty easy school-wise. I got an 85% mark on the written part of my english ISU which was better than I thought I would get. Now all I have to do is figure out what I'm going to do for my oral presentation and I'll be done with it.
Right now my school is holding some fundraisers for the Harvest Centre in my town, the place that gives food to those that need it in the community. We're having an actual food drive, but we're also collecting change and all of it will be going towards buying food and other necessities. I think it's a really great thing, and I'm not sure how much food we've collected so far, but we already raised 500 dollars in one week which is pretty astounding for a school our size. My class is actually in the lead for that with 120 dollars and we only have 7 students.
Anyway, that's it for now, don't forget to be awesome!

100th Post
I don't know why, but this week has been very tiring. I even went to bed really early one night, and that didn't help. I am so thankful that this weekend will be a three day weekend for me, because I definetely need it. Not only to sleep, but to get some work done.
Stickaid was amazing. I woke up at 6:00am, to realize that I had messed up and gotten the time wrong. So I went back to sleep for an hour and half, and woke to see Myles snarfing a Kinder egg. It was a good beginning. I really liked the way it was done this year, with multiple co-hosts each with their own activities and such, as opposed to last year, where it was just Myles and Charlie and random people popped in and out.
My favourite co-hosts were the RH Experience, Connor, Luke and Tom. They were just hilarious. I think I missed a segment of theirs, but what I did see made me laugh so much. It was funny to see them do the Kinder challenge together. I also loved it when Charlie did his challenges. It was like watching all of the videos over again, but with even more awesome.
Thank you again Kayla for your awesome drawing. Oshawott would most definetely be my starter if I had that Pokémon version game. I have always been a water trainer. And Oshawott is the cutest of this generations starters. Snivy is alright, and so is Tepig, but they don't match up to the awesome-ness of Oshawott.
Adam, the longest car ride I've taken recently was a 2-day car trip to Saskatchewan to visit my Grandparents. It was really long and boring, mostly because I was in the backseat with my sister the entire drive. Canada is really vast, and I would not want to drive the entire way. Also, good luck with your song. Keep at it, you will get it eventually. =)
Katie, that is actually a really good quote. I think it means that it is easier to understand others and their motivations, but it is difficult to understand yourself. It is easier to like others, and open up to them, but it is more difficult to like and accept yourself. I hope you are feeling better, and that tiny chickens aren't invading your head.
I'm with you, Kate. I want the second half of the year to be here already. That is when my more interesting classes are, and it would also mean being closer to graduation. This semester just doesn't seem to be going by fast enough. Also, congrats at staying up and watching all of Stickaid. I decided to go to sleep at midnight my time and get up to watch the final hour and a half. It was worth it, as the last bit was amazing, and I wasn't as tired to do m homework on Sunday.
Kira, I actually really like Granola bars. I don't find them dry or nasty. They are chewy, chocolate-y awesome-ness. And, woo French homework. Je t'aime français. I took it in grade nine and grade ten. I would have taken it again, but there weren't enough students to get a grade eleven class together. Oh well.

Campion, that is a Granola bar. They are amazing, trust me. Though not as good as porridge and brown sugar. Don't worry about my schedule, it's a minor clock in my room that is set to NZT. My main alarm clock is still set to me time. Though personally I don't use clocks, I use my cellphone mostly to check the time and to wake up in the morning. Also, the weather here has been nice this week, which has been really pleasant. I hope your exams are going/went well.
Anyway, I've procrastinated my homework enough with this post. I watched the last episode of Doctor Who, taking a break from Stickaid, and now I don't know what I'm going to do with my Saturday nights. Any suggestions? Don't forget to be awesome!!

Just Listening
Hiya.
Its afternoon here and its a pretty normal day. I'm on the computer in my basement waiting out hurricane Irene. Yup I live on the east coast and its ridiculous how serious [and not serious] people are taking the hurricane. I think it will be okay and nothing will go wrong. So I'm waiting for the hurricane to prove me wrong. Nothing so far. People are actually taking surfboards to the beach still, and are still on the roads even though it is highly suggested to stay indoors.
Okay so I just realized I didn't answer questions from last week in my post so I will do that now.
I play the clarinet, guitar, piano, and I have tried really hard to gain a saxophone. I actually seriously considered buying one from Luke [http://www.youtube.com/user/LukeIsNotSexy] but I didn't have the money. I also play a mean glockenspiel. That's about all I can play, for now. Favorite Doctor Who, well most recently its "The Doctor's Wife" which is the episode Neil Gaiman wrote. I thought last nights episode was good, for the most part. it had a few good [even great] twists, but nothing I didn't already suspect would happen. Not sure if you guys caught it last night so I won't mention the parts I enjoyed or the ones I thought were, well eh.Adam I'm glad you had a good time at the debs, you looked good, and "Prom King"! Glad the suit was all business. Campion your YouTube channel is awesome, I hope you keep making videos. Kayla sounds like everything is going awesome, and that's great! Kate and Kira I hope your classes do get better. Deidra I'm sorry about the whole prom situation, I'm not one for dances, though I still go to be with friends.
I've been doing a lot of listening and watching lately. Like right now I'm listening to Maureen Johnson read from her book "The Name of the Star" on blogtv. As for watching...well I have Buffy the Vampire Slayer on my computer.
I technically start school this Thursday, so I hope that goes well. And my favorite charity is A Wish Come True, which is like Make A Wish where they give a child their wish. An example would be how A Wish Come True sent me to Disney World when I was eight. The same charity sent my second oldest brother to Disney World when he was four. So they were and are a big part of my life, therefor I deem them my favorite.
That's about all I have to say this Sunday.
Bye!♥
P.S. I don't have to take algebra two apparently, ever. Just thought you should know. :)

Summer, School, Sisters and Stuff (Yay Alliteration!)
I actually have a couple of things to talk about today, all of them good. First of all, my sister is coming to visit for the weekend!!!! She decided last minute to fly up here for a quick visit and so we're going to pick her up from the airport later tonight. I'm really excited that she's coming, my sister is awesome.
Secondly, they were having a sale at Chapters on these language learning pack things so I picked one up cheap for Japanese, which is a language I've been wanting to learn for a while. I haven't started yet, but I will soon, I flipped through the book it came with and it looks like it'll be an interesting experience.
Thirdly, I'm not 100% on the idea yet, but I think I've decided what I'm going to aim to become when I'm older. A veterinarian. I really like animals and I'm good in all my science and math classes so I think it is a good decision. And I have to start out taking 2 years of general science courses in university before I can even apply for the vet program so it gives me time to get more experience with animals and fully come to my decision. It sucks a bit though because it means I'm going to probably have to take physics again this year which I was hoping to avoid.
Finally, this isn't really as big or exciting, but my mom just baked some pulla and it smells delicious so I think I'm going to go eat some right now. =)
As for Dr. Who episodes that I liked, well.... The Empty Child was good, Evolution of the Daleks was also pretty cool, Midnight, and The Idiot's Lantern was not bad as well. I also like the Ood and K-9, they're probably my fave non-human characters.
My favourite charity is probably the World Wildlife Fund because as I said before I really like animals and we humans can really screw them over sometimes. Two years ago my sister "adopted" a tiger in my name for Christmas and last year my parents "adopted" a polar bear in my name as well. Another one would be the MS Society because I remember taking part in the read-a-thons that they had for elementary school kids and I think that's great because it raises money for a good cause and gets kids reading at the same time.
I checked out your youtube channel Campion, it was fun to watch so I do hope you keep it up.
As for school I don't have my schedule on hand at the moment but I'm going to be in 12U English, 12U Advanced Functions, and 12U Biology first semester. Then 12U Chemistry, 12U Data Management, and 12U Calculus second semester. *12U means grade 12 University level if you were wondering* Like I mentioned above I may have to take 12U Physics as well and I was thinking of taking 11U Art for fun, but I might not be able too if I'm too busy with my other classes. I'm not looking forward to my English class because I have the same teacher that taught it last year and she made her last class write tons and tons of essays.
And yeah, that's about it I think,
