Latest memorable event- Leadership camp last weekend. *sigh* I'm still in a daze from it. (If this entry is ridden with typos, not my fault. Okay, so maybe it is, but I can't type well when functioning on 10 hours of sleep total since friday.)
That's what going to camp does to ya...

Memorable moments:
- The girls' dorm blasting "Hey Ya" by Outkast at the wee hours of the morning and the spontaneous dance party.
- Campfire fun of mocking Richard Simmons, Jay-Z and my principal, Mr.Baytor (isn't that the greatest name ever??)
- Sappy, very leadership-typical singing of "Let It Be" at campfire, swaying and group hugs and all.
- Crowd surfing. More rock-concert appropriate than Leadership camp, but still soooo fun.
- Very violent "prom date" game. I still have rug-burn marks on my elbows.
- Trying to teach the boys how to hula hoop. I have never seen anything that funny, EVER.
- Luau party at dinner. After that, coctail-paper-umbrella fights.
- My Relationships- Love and Friendship seminar. Was so nervous before, but me thinks I beasted it! Or rather, me hopes...
- Warm fuzzies galore.
- Our lunch table having our hands tied to each other. Never ever, EVER again shall I attempt to get seconds while attached to 6 other people. Fried chicken is surprisingly good at flying long distances when flung off a plate.
- The absolutely random Spanish theme prevailing throughout the weekend. Its all Adam's fault, he started it off with his "Knights, Horses and Cavaliers...a game that took its roots in the early days of leadership in medieval...uh..Spain".
That spawned Spanish man-eating dragons, spanish second chances, spanish dance parties and a whole ton of other spanish things. Ideas have a weird way of spawning into realities at L.C.
- Ainsley's morphing of the Warm Fuzzy story into the Sexual Favour story. Not as disturbing as it sounds, but certainly side-splitting funny.
- The Exec bonfire at 2 am
- The Night Hike and the Solo Walk at night...seeing the meteor.
- Being woken up by very, very ear-splitting trumpet rendition of the Star Wars theme.


Gah, that was long...sorry y'all, but i just wanted to some memories down, before they fade away.

Time...where are youuuu???

I just realized that it would be so very wonderful if days lasted 28 hours instead of 24. That would give me time to actually do everything I planned to /was supposed to.

I thought I'd post only relevant issues here, but I guess not. Changed my mind, time for relevant is later, not now. Now is time for some venting and destressing.

All teachers have a conspiracy against students. One week would be so relaxing and work-free...and then, BAM! For a whole month straight nothing but tests, assingments, all due at the same time...I currently have 3 ongoing projects, all due within 2 days of each other, and 4 looming tests in the very near future. 3 of which are on the same day.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the teachers got together in the staffroom at the end of the day, to compare schedules and to plan major things on the same day...

I'm not the procrastinator sort of person, (though that does happen occasionally...maybe even a bit more often then occasionally), but even for me this is crazy. A steady work load is good...projects are all in good fun, but THAT MUCH!?

Gah! They say grade 11 is the hardest year in high school...they being everyone in the older grades. Right now i am ready to believe them.

Alright, enough with the distractions...have to go do some (more) work.

Ciao to all
