This past month has been weird to say the least. I feel like I've been learning a lot of things about people I didn't know before or didn't really pay attention to earlier. I know that a lot of things are changing between my friends, and it's a bit sad to know that things aren't as simple as they used to be and that tension is surfacing between people that wasn't there before.

It's well-drawn too, which I like. So please, check it out if you're interested. And now to the main entry:<br /><br />I am staying up way past my bedtime to update my journal.

Actually, considering that Jacob was one of the only characters I could actually stand from the Twilight series, this isn't really isn't a very insulting April Fools joke to me, though it is funny to see DA mixed with a huge spawn of Twilight, Seeker and Lady Gaga icons and signatures. DA really planned this out well :D<br /><br />This month is exciting. Exciting because we all get to hear back from our universities. Exciting because I'm going to New York.

I myself don't have many new pictures to share (still continuing with my artist's block) apart from ones of my dog and poems I've written for writer's craft. There hasn't been many nice things to take pictures of outside since winter has been pretty much non-existent for the past few weeks.<br /><br />But anyway, how are everyone's classes going?

I know I missed a party today because both my parents were too busy to drive me, and I don't have a license because I'm lame. In fact, I haven't been out of the house since I wrote my last exam.

Yay! :w00t: Funny how you think so much time has passed since then, and then you realize that it's really only been two years, so really not much time has passed at all. Anyway, I can't talk long because I have exams to study for, one is Biology and one Chemistry. I'm studying Biology first because it's on Tuesday, but that gives me very little time to study for Chemistry which is the morning following.

I didn't always feel that way, just until I wasn't a kid anymore.<br /><br />Yeah, my holiday was unproductive.

Normally I'd upload some deviations to accompany this entry, but because my laptop is currently not connected to the internet I've had to resort to using the slower desktop computer downstairs, which doesn't pick up USB keys half the time, so is not the best thing to upload photos to. Basically, this means I can't upload deviations now, but hopefully, once I get internet on my laptop again I'll be able to later.<br /><br />So this month for me has been sort of a long revelation.

How else can I convey to you how much I enjoyed it if not through photographs? Now it feels like I've woken up from a long dream and now am back in the boring world of reality where I have to catch up on several sheets of math and an enrichment essay. Great.<br /><br />But I still say, it was worth it! I'd leave you a long description of what I did each day, but I know it will just bore you and make you guys hate me more, (or in :iconoboemg: and :iconsilverhawley:'s case laugh at me more) so that's all for now.

But I still wanted to go to school to write my chemistry retest, so I got a ride with my dad. I got to school on time, wrote the retest, watched the Christmas assembly, and then, since there was nobody in my biology class I decided to leave.

So, for most of this weekend I've been having endless fun manipulating songs on my computer, making them sound super-low or chipmunk-high, or reducing the vocals and making songs sound like karaoke tracks (the best part is when you hear how funny the backup vocals sound).<br /><br />Then, yesterday I got a bank card.

Well I was so busy studying all the teachers on my timetable that I didn't realize until after I was on the bus that I am doing two sciences and a math this semester! Repeat, two sciences and a math!!<br /><br />I'm not sure what to do now! I've looked at other people's timetables and I think I will be able to trade math and French with each oth ]]></media:text>

And this trip can be summed up into three easy words: shopping, eating and family. Yup, that's basically it.<br /><br />What sucks about coming back now is that I think everything here is boring. In California there are mountains and palm trees everywhere, but here we just have trees and flat grassland. It's BORING. I know, I'll probably get out of this mood after a week, but right now all I'm thinking is 'Canada is so boring!!' and 'Let's go back to California!!'<br /><br />But there are some optimistic bits about coming back 1) I get to brag about how I missed two weeks of rainy ]]></media:text>

It was probably wasn't the best day to go since most of this week we've been caught in several thunderstorms, but we were lucky, there was no thunder yesterday and it was actually sunny.<br /><br />Anyways, while we were there, we went on mostly roller coasters (Thunder Run, The Bat, Wild Beast, Dragon Fire, Sky Rider, Vortex...), except for Cliffhanger, which is now called Riptide (It's the one that looks like two giant rolling pins being spun around and splashed in water). The worst part about that ride was going upside down because everytime we flipped I would get pushed ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Okay, so the first snow day we had was a bit weird considering we really didn't have a lot of snow this year...but having a second one less than a week from the first one? That's a miracle! This means that I get to miss choir practise tonight and math class. I've only been in math for two days and I already know it's going to be a nightmare beyond all nightmares. I mean we have to do three MONSTER TESTS throughout the semester, plus a review test next week. I may be more behind in math then the people who had it last semester because we start going out on our music trips during semester two...and I know for one of them I'm going to be absent  ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Hey everyone!<br /><br />So I'm kind of new to the whole deviant art thing, but basically I do a lot of work on paint (I know what you're thinking, PAINT?!) photoshop, and I also have a thing for photography so you'll see me posting stuff for that too. I don't draw much so rarely will you see me post something I've made with my own hands. In short, I hope you enjoy my artwork and if you've got any comments please don't be afraid to leave me one.  ]]></media:text>
