Nine Days Till Christmas

Well my week has been pretty relaxed, probably since Chirstmas break starts soon. Today has been pretty epic though. I just got early acceptance to both the University of Ottawa and Lakehead University! I'm really excited about it. I'm not sure where I'll go in the end (I also have yet to hear from the University of Guelph), but I have like almost half a year to decide, so that's good.

The second sunflower plant finally bloomed yesterday and guess what? It's orange! I'm so glad that it made a flower. It actually grew a lot too and now the flower is too heavy for the stem, so I have to figure out a way to hold it up straight.

Tomorrow Deidra and I are going to go see the Nutcracker ballet. I'm really happy that we're going to see it because I've never actually been to a ballet before and I'm sure it's going to be amazing.

Adam, hope your finals are going/went well. Also, I haven't really been on youtube for a while so I completely forgot about P4A. I'll have to make sure to check it out tomorrow to show some support.

Wow, Katie. 7 hours of sorting is super intense, I would definitely not be able to do that. Also intensives sound pretty interesting and I think I played that game before, but I'm not very good with doing math games like that.

Kate, that's good that you get to see your brother again. Hopefully you'll be able to make a P4A video, too.

Kira, it's been a pretty mild winter so far to be honest, but we have had a bunch of snow so I took your advice and I was able to make a snowman a couple days ago, carrot nose and all. As for Christmas plans, just the usual relaxing and visiting with family with the potential for some fun stuff like skiing with my sister.

Campion, that sucks that the weather has been so bad, mother nature just likes to do that to spite everyone, eh?

PS- I just found out that the sequel to this book I really love finally came out. I've been waiting for it for over a year so this is really exciting. I'll have to try and get it ASAP. Today has been amazing, hope your days are going as well as mine!

Word Count: Not What It Should Be...

Almost forgot to post today since I was relaxing after a long week. All I can say is I am sooo glad I have a three day weekend. Maybe I can finally catch up on some sleep.

Tomorrow I'm going to be spending all day volunteering at the vet clinic that comes to our town every two months. It should be an interesting experience. They said I might be able to watch some of the surgeries too, so I'll get to find out if I'm suited for that type of thing. After all, it would be hard to be a vet that can't do surgery.

As for nanowrimo... well that's not going well. School has been pretty hectic so I really wasn't even sure I would be able to do it at all. I decided to at least try and wrote for all of 1.5 days before homework took over. And I'm not like those people who sacrifice their school and sleep for nano so I'm pretty far behind. Not sure if I'll be continuing or not. I never was really good at sticking with things.

Never considered a day of silence, I like talking too much I think. It would be really hard to not say anything. Kate those are really amazing marks! Keep up the good work. Never read the Da Vinci Code either, but I've seen both the movies and heard lots of good things about the books. Good luck with exams Campion, and that's really cool you got to go to Armageddon Expo. I've never been to any sort of convention, but I've wanted to for a while. There just aren't any that happen really near me, so it'll have to wait until I have more money I suppose.

Oh, and one of my dwarf sunflowers bloomed! The other one seems like it might flower soon as well. I'm so happy and proud that they've stayed alive this long.
