Update!

location: couch

time: 10:48am

mood: tired



Waking up early on a Sunday is not fun. Why I did I have no idea. My body just loves to torture me with early stomach aches! It's like when I wake up, if I don't get up within 10 minutes, my body thinks i'm being too lazy and sends me these stomach aches, it's annoying as hell I have to say. But now i'm up, have been for about 2 hours. I guess I can't do anything about it now.



So for an update on the blue-blocking glasses trial, I have been feeling tired earlier, and gone to bed earlier too, so thats good. Some days I forget to wear them but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Yesterday i went to bed later than usual (usual as in over the past week.) and yet I woke up early. Something is definitely happening. I still feel tired in the morning but who doesn't right? During school I do tend to get tired but that usually happens so it's nothing new, and I guess the glasses don't promise that. I'm being to lazy in the morning and I think that's what's affecting my school alertness but whatever, i'll live with it.



So I have this Science Unit Test on Monday. It's on Ecology. My Science teacher seriously just loves to torture us. As if exams and summatives aren't enough right? Well I should probably start studying, whatever, tests come and go, no use dwelling on one.

Lemonade, Airplanes, and New Schools

I didn't have high expectations when i woke up this morning. Wake up. Eat. Watch T.V. Try not to think about the fact that tomorrow is Sunday.

It's exam time here in Canada. Summatives are coming to an end - I have 4 left out of the 8 - and exam week is soon, stress is not uncommon and neither is sweat. We've been going through a heat wave over the past week. Our highest temperature here has been 32 degrees Celsius! (89.6 degrees Fahrenheit) That may not be hot for you Americans, but we live in igloos, and our igloos are melting!
I've been thinking about this summer, i'm going to be pretty busy. Vancouver in July, New York in August. I want to show everyone my trips, to document the events and memories that take place. I think i'm just glad that school will be over. At the beginning of the year, i was such a keener. I did all my homework, every night, loved my classes. Now most of my classes are good, i don't like the work, and i long for the end of the day, the end of the week. I can't believe we get summatives AND exams though. Aren't exams enough torture? now we have to do a huge project too? it's like the high school from hell! except for the fact that most other schools get it too.
Anyways I probably shouldn't be hating on my school, on account of the fact that next year it won't be here anymore. two years shy of it reaching 100 years, we are knocking it doown to make way for our new field, as we move into the new school. A lot of grads are sad, they're not here next year, but they don't want to see their memories torn down. I, being a freshman here, will miss the old school, but i'm just as excited to see the inside of the new one. I think we've put up with hearing the builder's make enough noise to drown out our marching band long enough. I can't help feeling a little cocky over our new school, apparent state-of-the-art facilities make me want to laugh at everyone who won't be going here next year. I know it's bad but hey its my school i deserve to be a little proud of it.
