Running out of Time

Well, studying has been a fail this week so I guess I just have to make sure I study lots this coming week. I just can't wait for this semester to finally be over so I can start my next classes.

I'm helping out at the vet again tomorrow though, so that'll be a nice break from my usual routine. I plan on really watching the surgeries closely this time around so I can get as much from the experience as possible. Hopefully I won't get grossed out by it or anything.

Adam, I'm glad you had a good time in Germany and didn't get lost.

Deidra, if you asked me face to face I would probably just say I want to be immortal right off the bat. However, it would also depend on the situation because maybe there are restrictions or downsides to being immortal (for example: vampire = drinking blood, Captain Jack = continued aging). Then I also wonder what sorts of things I would do if I was immortal because I would have like all the time in the world and I'm a horrible procrastinator. So if I didn't have a restricted time to live I might just end up wasting a bunch of time doing pointless things, whereas I could have been doing more if I had been mortal. Also a lot of things sound better in theory than in practice, so there would really be no way to tell if I'd really like to be immortal since all I've ever been is mortal.

Anyway I got some stuff to take care of so this'll be all for now.

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.

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,
