So Close

Only one more exam to go: functions.  This will be my hardest one.  This morning I had my computer science exam. It was only 4 pages, single-sided.  That is very short.  I think I did fairly well, except on one question where I drew a blank.  I dislike having a weekend in between exams because I think oh, I'm done exams, I don't have to do anything. WRONG!  And you really don't want to do any studying.  But now I am so close to saying done for real.  After my exam tomorrow, I'm going my BFFLAAT's house to tie dye some t-shirts.  Then I'm going up to camp for high ropes training.  I'm kind of worried about this.  Not about the actual training, but the time slots.  First of all, I don't know when the time slots are. Second of all, the assistant camp director was saying that she thinks that training won't go past 4pm. So what am I going to do? I know that the wranglers are up there, and I think that maybe one of the counselors is already up there, but I don't want to be bugging them all the time.  So I'm taking lots of stuff up to entertain me. It's starting to sink in now that this is it, literally.  I'm sure I've told you this before, but after I get back from training on Friday, I pack and then am back up at camp for the rest of the summer.  Adios, amigos!  I've started to gt stuff together that I need to take up.  Tomorrow is Amy and Rory's 2nd wedding anniversary, it says so on my Doctor Who calendar.  I'm really sad, because the writers of DW said that they're going to be killed off this season. I really like them.  This will be their third season, which I guess is the average span of time that someone spends with the Doctor.  Speaking of which, I've been watching series 1 of DW, my friend lent it to me.  I don't like this actor as much, thankfully he only did one season. I really hope I like the next actor, because he did 4 seasons!  

The scenario here is that the world just ended (kind of) but the Doctor is on the wrong side of the "wall".  By being on the wrong side, everybody forgets him.  The lady who walks by the window is River Song, a friend of the Doctor's, and the blue book is River's.  Then Amy starts remembers, and well, you can see the rest. :)

104%

And for the record, I got 27 out of 26 on my Travel and Tourism test.  (the one where there was the bonus question about Mr. Darling's food opinions, see Good Day).

So Close...

It's been awhile.  Yesterday was the last day of classes.  But that means that it's exams.  I'm only worried about math really.  I didn't have an exam today, but I have two tomorrow.  I ended up going to school still though because Battleship is still not done.  It was originally due yesterday, but our teacher decided to give us until before our exam on Monday morning.  So me and my friend spent three hours this morning trying to get it to work.  Our problem right now is that we can attack the computer, but we can't get the computer to attack back.  There is serious reason for PANIC.  I really don't know where this is going to go.  Either we will find the problem and feel so stupid for missing it or we will never find out why it doesn't work.  I'm not at all worried about my exams tomorrow, travel and tourism and biology.  I have a lot going on in the next week.  Two exams tomorrow. I don't think I have anything Saturday, but I need to start getting stuff together for camp. I need to buy a storage unit for my clothes. I also need to buy more shorts.  Probably the same thing on Sunday.  And studying, obviously.  And trying to figure out Battleship.  Then Monday I have my computer science exam in the morning. I'll study for math in the afternoon.  Do more studying Tuesday morning, then write my math exam that afternoon.  On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I'm off to camp for training about high ropes.  Saturday I pack, then I'm off to camp on Sunday.  (this is the high ropes at camp that I'm going to be working on all summer[that's the climbing wall in the background]).

It's The Thought That Counts

So as I was walking home today I noticed some blue ribbons tied around people's trees, etc.  I was trying to think of what they were for. I know that when a soldier dies we tie yellow ribbons, but I couldn't think for the life of me what a blue ribbon meant.  Today my brother came home and he had one.  The school is sending them home with kids for them to show support for one of the teachers.  It was recently found out that her 4 year old son has leukemia (I think it's leukemia, but don't hold me to it).  I think that is such a nice thing to do for her and her family.  I really hope that this moves her family (not literally, but emotionally) because I'm feeling pretty moved and I'm not even involved.  I'm reading a book right now and in it it says, "Perhaps the Fates are people like us...ordinary souls who've found themselves caught up in the battle between good and evil, and have chosen to take a stand and help do what's right.  Small things that take just a moment to do, yes, but that could add up, in the end, to make an enormous difference to someone. " I think it is fitting for the situation.  On another note, we got our yearbooks today.  The theme was fairytales...I think? It's all about castles and dragons and kings and queens and stuff.  So far it seems good.  The one thing that drives me up the wall is when they give somebody the wrong name. It's like, is it impossible to get people's names right?  There are only 1080 people including staff in the school.  Is it really that hard? When I'm 90 (yes I will live that long) how am I supposed to be expected to remember everyone? I'll trust the yearbook, WHICH IS WRONG!!!  Ugh, that is my pet peeve of the month.  (I have so many pet peeves, I name one every month).

Sorry About That...

...I had a little bit of a breakdown last night.
Anywho, putting that behind us, have you ever tried not using your mouse?  How far can you go with just using the button on your keyboard? Can you check all your favourite websites? Can you send an email? Could you even play a game? I've gotten this far, from turning on the computer to opening firefox to getting to my blog and writing a post.  I think that's pretty impressive.  I even checked my email on the way in.  Email is hard though, lots of tabbing and going through and almost making it and then pressing the tab button one too many times and having to go through it all again.  You should try it out.  Who knew you would depend so much on a mouse?  Hehe, that was a funny sentence.  As a part of the core staff at FCC this summer, you are required to run a craft during the mornings and afternoons.  I wanted to do either high ropes or rock climbing.  I got high ropes and I'm really excited.  The only thing is is that you have to do some training in order to be certified to operate the ropes.  Last year when I was just a CIT and I helped out with high ropes I just got a quick lesson from one of the counselors on how to do it.  But I guess since I'll be doing it all summer I should be certified.  Speaking of certified, over the weekend we did first aid training, mainly CPR.  It is a 16-hour long course, but we did it in 2.  It was a really watered down version mainly focusing on CPR.  But we still get the full certification.  The ambulance driver/nurse who taught it to us was kind of funny. "The short and dirty reality is that if someone goes into cardiac arrest they have 10 minute.  From the station I'm positioned at, it takes me 15 minutes to get here." Ok then, great to know.  I hope no campers go into cardiac arrest.  We used a defibrillator on a dummy.   Ugh, a shut down to install updates window just popped up and I couldn't get out of it without using the mouse.  Guess that's as far as I got.

Under The Microscope

I just got my hair cut and I don't like it. I should have gotten layers like I have in the past. Over the weekend while at the core staff training weekend we talked about the things the devil might be trying to do in us and to drive us away from God. One of the thing we talked about was that we shouldn't try and impress other people and that's one of the ways the devil gets to us. I said I would try and not do that. I don't think I did that too much before, but them I remember all the time I say 'it doesn't matter' because I just want the person to be happy. I think that might be different though. But I know sometimes I would stand in front of the mirror in the morning for a while trying to think if my outfit worked. I'm not super fashionable, but I don't think I'm a bad dresser. But I would be trying to impress. I was looking in thee mirror at my hair and realized how ugly my knees are. And after I thought that I shouldn't be critizing myself because I am a beautiful young lady that has so much potential in life. I regret cutting my hair. I regret critizing myself because I know it is wrong. I was created in God's image. I'm sure at some point I'll regret telling you this but I'm trying to be more open and honest about things. I've just reread what I've written and it doesn't express what I'm feeling. I'm crying right now. I don't know what to do and I'm so confused. This is the first time ever my period has come early. I'm so stressed right now with school. I have a math test tomorrow which I think I should do good on. I'm just trying to think positive and work on praying everyday and trying to read the bible. We talked about summer goals at camp and two of them had to be spiritual. I'm happy they did that because I've never had a spiritual goal before and I think I will be good for me. Before when I tried reading the bible I just read it and thought that was good enough. Over the weekend I realized that wasn't enough and that I needed to actually absorb and think about what I was reading. I'd like to get a book about reading the bible and personal devotions. Over the weekend some of the people shares their testimonies. I have always loved hearing testimonies. Whenever I started to fall away from God I would think about their testimonies and remember just how amazing He is. They really help me better understand God. Although I think I've come to terms with the fact that I will never truely and fully understand Him. I need to go to bed now.

Heather's How To Determine If Your Short Shorts Are Too Short

 First of all, if you have to question it, they are too short. But here we go:
1. If they do not cover your bum, they are too short. 
2. If you can see your underwear, they are too short.
3. If the overall length of the fabric is shorter than your hand, they are too short. 
4. If the pockets stick out the bottom, they are too short.
5. If you have to keep pulling them down in fear of exposure, they are too short.

Pet Peeve: Some clothing companies know that their shorts are ridiculously short so they use patterned fabric for the pocket so that it's 'pretty'.  Disgusting.
