Just a new journal to wish everyone a Happy Holidays for whatever you are celebrating...even if you aren't celebrating : )

I am so glad for the break now! Now I can clean my room But seriously...man in these past few weeks I've had so much homework. It's like teachers are trying to murder you before the holidays. And I still have a bunch of homework assigned over the holidays...ISP projects and all that fun stuff...buuuuuuuuuuut I'm not going to do it for a while XD

But one thing that I don't have to do is apply for colleges/universities anymore! I did all that in early December. I applied to a bunch of different places:

Universities:
York University - Chemistry, East Asian Studies
Western University - Chemistry
Huron College - East Asian Studies
Ryerson University - Photography
Brock University - Chemistry

Colleges:
Georgian College - Photography
Sheridan - Photography
Seneca @York - Photography
Humber - Photography
Fanshawe - Photography

And it was super exciting 2 nights ago! I got my first Offers of Admission! only 2 weeks after applying too! 2 Offers of Admission from York, one for Chemistry and one for East Asian Studies! I was so excited that I ran out of my room screaming to tell my parents XD York is the one univeristy I really want to go to <3

Other than that news, not much has happened lately. I've just been swamped with projects and stuff...haha I still need to get my christmas shopping done >.<

Do you guys have any plans for the holidays?

So it seems its been a month again between my last two journals I really should start updating more.

School has been okay....super busy though. I've got English assignments left, right and centre! I got to learn a new instrument though! I originally play Tenor Sax, but I had to learn Clarinet for one of my jazz songs. That was fun...though I admit the clarinet was a lot harder than it looked at first....but once I figured out the secret to it, I found it easy

So all I've been doing lately is getting home, practising clarinet for 2 hours, doing homework and going to sleep. Haha not every exciting, but as long as it gets me my grades, then whatever.

This weekend though we having to clean out my grandma's whole house so we can ready it to paint....and MAN...like, when I first went down there this morning all I thought was "ohh god...its just a shitload of crap." But after the first few minutes, I was opening all the boxes and getting into everything. Did you know my grandma filled the whole back cupboard of the bathroom with bottles of whiskey? Some of them empty, some half gone, some completely full! And it was really neat too, because I found an old certificate that is actually my mom's grandpa's. Its from 1904 and its something about certifying that he is a minister than can bury the dead? (lol I don't even know).

And when we were going through her attic, we found the actual newspaper from back in the 60's about the first steps on the moon and stuff. And the actual newspaper from the 30s about when the king died. Like...there was over 100 years of history just up in that attic. It was amazing, though admittedly hazardous to our allergies XD God we were all using the 24 hour clariten and we STILL had reactions.

Anyway, so just a little journal about what I have been doing. To all Americans: Happy Columbus day, and to all Canadians: Happy Thanksgiving (I definitely just put merry christmas instead of thanksgiving XDDD)

Ugh god...so I haven't updated with anything new in a while...and I might not be for another while. I barely have free-time this year...and this is only the 2nd week of school! Teachers were actually serious this year about the workload...maaaaaan I've had 3 hours+ of homework a night every night >.< And to top it all off I'm getting sick as well. At least this is my heavy semester! So I do manage to get it over with at the start. I've got:

1st Semester:
Gr. 12 University English WritersCraft
Gr. 12 University Chemistry
Gr. 12 Advanced Functions
Gr. 12 University English

2nd Semester:
Gr. 12 Food and Nutrition Sciences
Gr. 12 University Japanese
AP Chemistry at lunch
Gr. 12 Instrumental Music
Gr. 12 History of the Western World

I'm supposed to be trying to my G2 again in 2 days...but of course, now there is the goddamn strike, so unless it ends tomorrow my test gets put off until sometime in november. Stupid fucking examiners. Like, seriously, I think that anyone's test that got cancelled because of the strike should take priority after the strike is ended. It doesn't seem fair that say if the strike ended on friday: that someone whose test was on thursday, now has to wait all the way until november, whereas someone whose test is on saturday or sunday still gets to go. Its not OUR fault that our test got cancelled. GAAAAAAAAAAAAh stupid examiners...I should already have my G2 but nooooo I just happened to get the stupid male version of the british lady, who happened to hate life and everyone in it that day. I took YD so I wouldn't have to wait 12 months, but now I'm going to have to anyway AGFNAJGNALKNG /rant

Nothing else much to say, other than I still have an essay to fix, a dramatic monologue to write, and studying to do for tomorrow D:

Hope you all have less homework than me!
