Ah you guys I had so much fun in Toronto last weekend. It did end up being a really rushed trip seeing as I was only there for like one full day basically. I got there, went out for supper, had a quick trip to the CN Tower, then went to the Legend of Zelda Symphony. That was pretty awesome. My favourite section was probably the one for the Twilight Princess. One of the sections was about the Wind Waker game and the conductor used the actual wind waker to conduct the music, everyone got super excited about that. The next day I went to the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) and then we had to go home again.
This week has been alright in terms of school I guess. It's been very busy. Just this week I ended up having to write three lab reports. But so far I seem to be hanging in. I'm trying to figure out some sort of schedule to keep me more organized and keep me from leaving assignments to the last minute. Hopefully, I'll find something that works for me.
Tomorrow is going to be fun if everything goes as planned. The first meeting for the Anime Club was postponed to next weekend so to make up for it one of the senior members is hosting a little intro get together at their place. I want to go to that for a couple hours so I can get familiar with some of the other members. Then after that, it's one of my friend's birthday tomorrow so we're going to play laser tag. I've never done that before but it looks really fun.
I'm thinking of getting my hair cut again (it's probably been like almost year or something since I did it last). I wanted to do something dramatic so I'm leaning towards getting a side cut (shaving only half my head, if you didn't know what that was). I'm not quite sure how it'll look, but I think it should be fine. If not my back up plan is to just even it out and get my hair cut really short again.
Oh also I made these super delicious burgers the other day. They were amazing. They were veggie California black bean burgers and honestly I could probably live off of those things. Definitely going to make them again sometime soon hopefully.
Hope all your weeks have been going well.

Darwin knows what marriage is all about.
Whew been a loooong week I tell yah. But over all not bad. I have a bunch of school stuff to do this upcoming week/weekend (that's to be expected though). There was a poster sale today so I ended up buying one that was a copy of Skull with Burning Cigarette by Van Gogh and a smaller Lord of the Rings one that's pretty sweet. Also today there were a bunch of guys raising money for their soccer team. They were wearing bibs and diapers and you could whip eggs at them for 2 bucks lol, gotta love university.
I had my first Physics and Chemistry labs this week. It was all pretty simple stuff, they went well. And my lab partners seem to be quite nice. Actually it's kind of weird. Earlier this summer I met a girl at the orientation who was also named Kayla, and I was like woah okay cool, I know another Kayla here now lol. Then in my physics lab that same girl ends up being there which was nice cause then I know someone in our little group. Theeeen I randomly sit next to a girl and she ends up being my lab partner and guess what her name is? Kaila. And then I go to my chemistry lab and get randomly assigned another lab partner. And her name is McKayla. Maybe by the end of the month I'll know all the Kayla's in all my classes lmao.
Oh and I'm suuuuuper stoked for tomorrow. I think I mentioned this a way long time ago, but I'm going to see the Legend of Zelda Symphony in Toronto tomorrow. And since it's my first actual time being there I'm going to go to the CN Tower and the ROM and a bunch of other stuff hopefully (though I'm only there for like a day and a night). I will fit it all in somehow!
Katie, hang in there. I think we're all in the same "school is horrible" boat. Except maybe Adam who seemed pretty excited for his school lol. And don't worry about the locks, I started using a locker in grade 6 and it just takes a bit of practice to get it. But once you do it's so easy you just do it without thinking. I do wear pyjama pants outside sometimes, but not all that often. Pants are pants though so I don't really care if people see me in them.
As for your question about university. I'll be 100% honest here and say that I still have no clue as to what I want to do in the future. Something that I like I hope, but I can't get more specific then that (forensics? vet? researcher???). I chose to go into biology because a) I always liked science, especially biology and b) I figure that it's general enough at the moment that it leaves a lot of job options open. The only other thing I might have considered to major in would have been art and to be honest I chose science because art is more of a hobby for me.
In terms of university choice... I wanted to get far but not that far from home for one so I stayed in the province. I had 3 schools to apply to so I chose Lakehead (Thunder Bay), UOttawa (Ottawa), and Guelph (Guelph). The Lakehead application was only for my mom's sake really, and as a back up. The main reason I tried Guelph was for their vet school, but I ended up changing my mind about that. So I went with Ottawa because they had Co-op (paid work program) for biology, my sister was also here, and I really liked Ottawa when I visited it. It's a nice city.
So yeah that was long, but that was my thought process. Basically, go for something that you personally like because if you are passionate about something then you'll do good in it and you'll get farther than if you just try for something that you think will, for example, get you a really high paying job or something.
On another note I joined the school's anime club. Our first meeting is next week. I really looking forward to it because to be honest I've never had friends that were really into anime or manga so I never had anyone to talk about that stuff if I ever wanted. I was chatting with an older member and I think I'll be having a good time.

PS - Did you know that Charles Darwin wrote down pros and cons for whether or not he should get married. It's pretty entertaining really. On the pro side he has "children" and "better than a dog" and for cons he has things like "less money for books."

BRB, going to eat more cake
So I decided to write my post a tad earlier than usual for no particular reason other than I'm kind of bored right now. I don't know when I'll be posting it though because the Doctor Who Christmas Special is loading on my computer right now so this might be posted after I've watched that.
Hope everyone's holidays are going well. Mines been very nice and relaxing. I've pretty much just been visiting with family and playing a lot of loz: Skyward Sword. I'm trying to beat the game before my sister leaves for Ottawa and takes it with her, which is in like 3 days or something so I have to hurry.
Other than that, I did go skating with my family yesterday. We go every year at this time because Tim Horton's hosts free public skating days at the arena all this week. I also did a bit of shopping, but not that much because I'm trying to save up my money for a little trip at the end of the school year. All I ended up buying was sweaters though, I swear I must have an addiction to sweaters or something, I never seem to have enough of them.
It was my mom's birthday yesterday so we went out for chinese food and then came home to watch The Blindside. My sister baked an awesome red velvet cake and I decorated it using this thing I got for christmas. It looked pretty awesome if I do say so myself, and it tasted even better.
An it's almost the new year, so Happy New Year everyone! Do you guys make New Year's resolutions? I don't usually make New Year's resolutions because I never seem to be able to keep them, but I might this year. Probably something like studying more for school, or maybe drawing or reading more since I've been kind of slacking off with those this year.
Kate, don't worry, I've put off doing all my homework until the week before school starts up again on the 9th. Campion, I was thinking of seeing the Tin Tin movie eventually, but probably not for a while since it's not on the top of my movies-I-want-to-see list. Good review though, makes me want to know what the crane fight scene is all about.

PS - Just finished watching the special, it was very good. Makes me eager for more episodes. As for the Doctor/Amy thing I like all the companions in their own way, but I'm looking forward to see who the next one's going to be.
