It Was Going To Be Short...

Here I am, on my blog, but with nothing to say. (I probably just jinxed it, now I'm going to ramble for pages on end).  My friends that went to Europe come back tomorrow. I really hope they decide to show up of Friday (they thought they might be too tired) so that I can see them and hear all about their trip. Although I'm sure I'll hear about it whether I want to or not. My friend (one that didn't go to Europe) and I were saying that we should act as if they never left and were here the whole time.  I would go along with it if I could keep a straight face. Also, I really want to hear about the Van Gogh Museum.  It's Wednesday.  I keep getting mixed up because we didn't have school on Monday.  My T and T student teacher's last day is Friday.  Frankly, I'm really happy he's leaving.  I'm not sure when my biology student teacher is leaving, but I think it's soon as well. Funny thing is, I know my biology and T and T teachers get the student teachers just so they don't have to teach.  I always knew my bio teacher was lazy (I had her for grade 9 science) so it wasn't shocking she got a student teacher.  But the T and T one is a little weird.  First of all, he arrived before the rest of them did (they all come at the same time for around 6 weeks).  Second of all, all the student teachers are from Western and have to wear their university ID's on their neck. I have never seen my T and T student teacher (whom I'm now going to refer to as Mr. E) wear.  And thirdly (is that a word?), I don't even understand why he was here (as in my T and T class) in the first place: he mastered in history.  Traveling and touring is, in my books and I'm sure the world's, NOT HISTORY for goodness sake.  He's also not very professional.  I saw him checking his phone today during class.  And he was wearing a QuikSilver fabric belt.  Don't you own a proper belt? geez.  Wow, who knew ranting could be so much fun.
Lately I've been thinking about when (and when I say WHEN, I mean IF) my BFFLAAT finds out about my blog.  I'm not sure what she'll think.  I wonder if she'll maybe be mad at me for keeping that kind of secret.  I guess I'll explain the whole create-a-blog-don't-tell-anybody thing, but I still don't  know if when I say that if she'll totally forgive me (if she's mad in the first place). I do, however, know for a fact that she will be enraged that her mom knew and she didn't (sorry J).  Oh well, guess I don't have to worry about that until she finds out.

OMG what if she knows and she's keeping it from me to get back at me for making a blog and not telling her?!?

^this is what happens when I have nothing better to do: my mind wanders and always seems to think horrible things. 

And see, what did I tell you? I quote: "now I'm going to ramble for pages on end."  Not that it's pages long, but still.

For those of you that have read The Hunger Games:
Peeta: Look at this bread; Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the boy, the boy who has every bread? Look at this loaf. Flavors untold. How many flours can one loaf hold? Looking around here you'd think, "Sure, he bakes everything." I've got wheat-bread and biscuits aplenty. I've got cornbread, and crumpets galore! You want bagels? I've got twenty! But who cares? No big deal...I WANT MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I Understand...?

I'm a little shaken up right at the moment.  I was playing Minecraft (not actually, I just wanted to see what the big deal was).  Anyways, I was digging and I kind of got lost.  It all looks the same to me.  I started freaking out even though I kept telling myself it's just a game, it's just a game.  Eventually I found my way out, but I actually started to feel sick like I do when I'm worried something is wrong.  And now I'm getting a headache.  I'm slightly concerned about the fact that getting lost in a virtual game will make me feel genuine panic.  I don't think I'll ever play Minecraft again (not that I was going to anyways).  My math teacher was saying last week that today's lesson was so difficult that we were going to spend two days on it.  But I understand it perfectly (not something that happens very often in math class).  It probably means I'm doing something wrong.  Hopefully not :) I was going to post a picture of some cartoon or something of somebody understanding math so I typed 'I understand completely' into the search bar.  And this was the picture that came up.  Not just one, but at least the first three rows of results.  So I have absolutely no idea what this is from or what it means, but it suits what I'm talking about, so I thought, what the hell, use the weird talking pear.  What I SAID was what the HECK (see the difference there?) use the popular picture.  And BTW, I in no way whatsoever understand the whole talking pear thing, even though the picture begs to differ.

Eggs

I"M BACK!!! I know it hasn't been that long, but it feels that way.  See, the difference between other time when I haven't posted and this weekend is that this weekend I wanted to post but I couldn't because the family that came over doesn't know about my blog.  Overall we didn't do much, went for a couple walks, looked for eggs, went to my sister's dance recital.  (Yes, I still get Easter egg hunts).  I'm not sure what I'm going to do this afternoon.  I might think about where I'm going to put more things in my room.  I'm worried that I have too many different pieces going on and that it's too busy.  But I think I should be good.  I just have to stop buying more things.  And put more thought into what I do buy.  I bought a lamp at IKEA last weekend, and now I'm not so sure about it.  I also have two picture frames that I bought and I don't know where I'm going to put them.  Oh well.

Easter

Happy Easter weekend everybody!!! Im not doing much, some family has come to visit, but there are no special plans. Well, except for my sisters dance recital tomorrow. It should be good, but it's going to be three hours long. So by the end of it I'm sure I'll be more than ready to go home. Also, I have a job interview tomorrow morning before we go to the dance recital. It's to be a counselor at FCC. But I don't think it's going to be a very formal interview. It's being held at a Starbucks. So yeah. I'm still going to dress up kind of, to seem professional and everything, but I can't help but feel it will be very casual. Especially being an interview for camp. Oh well, wish me good luck. I am finally going to be able to put those interview skills I learned in careers to the test!

Where Does The Time Go? To The Past...

I have decided that I am going to start tagging my posts (if that's possible).  Because sometimes I can't remember if I've talked about something or not already.  You guys are probably sitting there laughing at half my posts because I'm just repeating myself.  I didn't do much this evening, have been doing hw since I got home from school.  (But we all know that when I say worked straight through the evening, I mean work for half an hour, play a couple rounds of Temple Run or something, listen to a song, then convince myself to get back to work.)  I'm so glad it's a short week (3 4-day weeks in a row!!!), I am so stressed out right now.  I have two tests tomorrow and two projects that I'm struggling with (kind of).  Oh well. My BFFLAAT and friends are off to Europe, it's going to be very quiet during lunch...

(I can never think of a title...)

Today is an okay day.  Biology was just another chance to watch our student teacher struggle to teach our class.  Computer science brought on the usual challenges of figuring out why the program won't run, but this time with the code due tomorrow.  In T and T, my BFFLAAT and I had to do a presentation that we finished during lunch. Now before you rat on me about leaving it till the last minute, the internet wasn't working in the classroom so we couldn't do our research in there but none of the other computers in the school available to us have Microsoft PowerPoint.  So, bit of a dilemma.  But we got it done in time, we just didn't have a chance to really go over the presenting part.  But I think it went okay.  I never thought I would ever hear a song that has these words in it: Buzz Lightyear, fondue, swag and swaggie that was an iTunes top song.  Amazing how much impact the singer can have on a song.  DW isn't scheduled to come out till late this year, which is going to throw everything off.  It usually show Jan-Apr, then Aug-Nov (approx).  Then they do a Christmas Special that ties the two seasons together (kind of).  But now they want to start the season late this year. What's going to happen to the Christmas special? Are they still going to have it, but just be random in the middle of the season or, gasp, will there not be a Christmas special?!? I can't believe I even thought that.
