Look!Look! I'm actually blogging!!! and it hasn't even been six months yet!!! lol :P... but, no, really... I'm supposed to be writing an English essay on the Heroic Identity... but I got lazy and decided I'd come check out my blog and... well... write here instead *shifty eyes* ...wow... it's been soooo long since I did an actual proper blog that I've practically forgotten how to do one! *gasp* ...
hmmm... where to start... so far this year's been pretty good... the total-science-math-focus/lack-of-humanity-essay-writing-thing took a lil' getting used to... and my marks still aren't great (tho I had a 98 in history for a while there :)... it sorta died tho... might a been those assignments I didn't fully do *looks innocent*) but, no, I'd don't think I can complain... fall and winter were pretty good... my Elementary Jazz exam went well... it was actually rather fun... ... OOOH!!! and I got to see "Jesus Christ Superstar" while it was in town!!! which totally rocked... and the Tap Dogs too!!! OMG, they were AMAZING!!! I sooo wish I could do that!!! "Little Dragon" was good as well... oooh... and I saw Cirque's "Allegria" this summer, which was really, really good...
... My mom and I went on a cruise of the south Carribean for new years, which was pretty awesome... we had great weather, and the ship was massive!!! it had like 14 stories... and, of course, I insisted on always taking the stairs... I always beat my mom and the elevators too!:P ... it was really cool tho... it had absolutely everything!!! including a little shopping street-like thoroughfare... I kept calling it vegas on a ship... Our days at sea were sooo great and involved me alternatively lying on a deck chair reading, and swimming in the ocean-fed pool... the nightlife was pretty good too, especially 'cause there was a rediculously large ammount of ppl my age onboard... our land days were equally great w/ hiking in San Maarten, snorkling and sightseeing in St Thomas, off roading in Aruba, and shopping/sightseeing and snorkling in Curacao... aww man, snorkling is awesome!!! I'd never done it before, and I panic if I'm wearing the mask above water, but once you're in there, it's absolutely amazing!!! I totally loved it!
I swear, falling asleep to the rhythm of the waves is absolutely one of the most relaxing things in the world... it was really great too 'cause the only rough day was New Year's Eve... there was a storm and the ship was rocking like crazy, but it was sooo much FUN!!!
So anyways, I came back from that with a killer tan... and a much more relaxed and happier attitude (which I'd somehow lost at some point this year, though no one seemed to noticed) ... winter funness continued on... Gillian and I spent quite a few Friday nights skating w/ppl at the rink and Ju and I had sooo many movie nights... Exams went pretty well.... and, OMG! we had sooo much fun dragging the guys out to go skiing on one of our free days!!! It was sooo great!!! there ended up being like 8 of us... *shakes head* we totally need to do that again next year!!!... aw man... and then there was March Break... which was late this year... I can't believe the snow actually stayed!!! I was sooo excited! I spent the first half of the break skiing up at blue mountain w/my cousins (not exactly the rockies but, hey, skiing is skiing) ... we had an awesome time skiing uncut trails through the trees and doing a natural half pipe... until we got cought and "warned" *looks innocent* really, there weren't any barriers!... so what if the trees were nearly impassible??? lol... it was all good tho... 'cause the "W"s written on my cousins' passes were very, very easy to rub off... but, yeah... so I basically spent most of the week crashing into trees and going over insane jumps... (on a hamstring with partially torn muscle fibre - which is a painful fact that I'm still trying to ignore :P) ...
OMG!!! how could I have forgotten!!! I finally got my G2... and I'm legally allowed to drive anywhere, anytime... and guess what came with that lovely little piece of plastic???... keys to a brand new 2005 Mazda3 GS model sedan!!!!... oooh, how I love my baby... and how I'd love her even more if I had money for gas *looks pleadingly toward mother* but, no, it's all good... after all, I have a car!!!.... scary ain't it?
... hmmm let's see... I don't know that I have any other news... oh... I went to the Kiwanis Dance Festival w/Jazzworks (Woburn's Jazz dance team) and we got a silver... we lost the gold by 1% 'cause we were wearing hats *pouts*... but it was still a pretty cool experience... ... and oooh... lol... I'm now known around the school as "that ditzy cheerleader"... for my role in my schools "Spirit Week" Assembly... man, was that skirt ever short! I totally LOVE acting that stupid... it's so fun and liberating!!! ... I'm soo glad that I didn't overload the make up tho!!! ...I went downtown right afterwards to rock climb...
... and yeah.. I think that's about it... good thing too... I really do need to write that essay!
