Spring is the season of hope
Happy Easter. I got a big box of chocolates (that I got to pick out myself yesterday) from Henri Stubbe. Which is the best chocolate place in Ontario. Seriously, it was on CBC this morning. mmmm... My waistline isn't thanking me. I got some jelly bellies too, the apple kind (my favoooourite)...
My trip is coming in 5 days!! The flight is from Montreal so we have to take the Air France bus on Thursday leaving at 4:00 or something instead of earlier (originally it was 2:00) so I get to go to school Thursday. I needed dressy clothes appropriate for wearing at the conference, so yesterday I went shopping with my mom and spent a ridiculous amount of money. Well, her money, which makes me feel bad, but she wanted to buy stuff for me, soooo... I got... a black spring-y type jacket from RW&co (I'd never been there before), some dress socks, a pair of khaki dress pants from Club Monaco, and heels. And I also bought black fabric with pink polka dots, and black and white flower-y print fabric to make a couple of skirts for myself.
I went running a couple of times this week. I loved it. I love running, it makes me feel so good about myself, even when I feel really terrible and am in pain and want to stop. I should really go today, but I feel a lot blubbery and gross from all the chocolate and candy I've been eating all day (and still am eating, right this second). So maybe I'll postpone the running-ness till tomorrow.
School sucks right now, I'm doing horrible in all my classes. Except for french, Im doing well in that, luckily. Then next best is math, I think, then physics. Which is some indication of how horribly chemistry is going. I thought I was ok, but my teacher thinks I am a very stupid person (which I'm not, usually) and he has good reason, since I nearly FAILED my first test, so a near FAIL is what will be showing up on my midterm. The last time I did this badly on a test was when I knew I could drop my trig test last year so prioritized and did no math homework during that unit. I wish I had the same chem teacher as I had for grade 11, because he was helpful and didn't make me feel like the stupidest person every to walk the face of the planet, like the current grade 12 teacher does..
I cannot wait for summer. I find out my Shad Valley campus by April 5- c'mon, UBC :o) ! I can't wait for leaves, and to be able to wear flip flops, and for warmth and no school and... sigh... But there's only 3 and a bit months left, and in between is my trip, and band trip (Gigi come visit me!!!) and if I manage to fail chemistry, I just won't count is as one of the courses I use to apply to university. Or I just won't go to university or become an astronaut, I'll use my default option- becoming a circus performer and raising llamas on the side. So no worries.
