There She Goes, There She Goes Again

So, my last first semester of high school is over...well technically I still have it on Thursday but we'll see if I go. Just to let everyone know, I past my Chem and Lit exam so you can all breath a little easier now. Sorry it was so stressful for you guys...worrying about me all this time and all. But alas! It was for no point. That is actually something that I have been trying to stop. Worrying is such a stupid waste of time and I do it so much! It is one of the most useless, tiring, and stressful things that you can ever do - so don't do it! But I must say that it is easier said than done. I worry constantly about petty little things but I am trying hard to give those worries to God.
Hmm, let's see, what else to write about....I know! This may be in no interest to you, but yesterday I was reminiscing summer. All those wonderful times and how it had changed me. It all started with Uprising, the most glorious moments of my life were spent at BCBC on June 17th or something....I can't remember the exact date. Wow! That was an amazing time...never in my life had I felt so complete, and I never have felt that since. I think that is what we will feel in heaven all the time. And if that is true, my human body would never make it. It is hard to believe that I could doubt God, not trust Him, and turn my back on Him after an experience like that. But I have to admit that I don't always trust Him.
After that, I had an interview at the Co-op. The scariest moment of my life...NOT! Hah, I breezed through that one, until Chris came to the question, name four words that describe you....ummm, let me think...for about an hour and then I may have an answer. I hate those kind of questions. I got the job.
After that it was off to LDC for me...a.k.a. Bible Boot camp....haha I made that up right here! I'm so proud of myself. Well, let's just say, I hated it at first, then sort of enjoyed it, then I realized that I was having the best week of my life! It was sooo sooo sooo good. And I think most other people in my group thought so to because we are already planning our second LDC reunion. We were going to have it around Christmas but it didn't happen so now we are going to wait until Brit comes back from South Africa.
Then the next week, I babysat, the most adorable kids. Most people will probably laugh at that statement and say, "She's joking right?" But I must honestly say that I love those kids and they are so cute! Even though Elliot screams almost 24/7, Calvin refuses to listen, and Tessa, well she's just cute, I really enjoyed my week. As frustrating it was and how tired I got, it was defiantly worth it.
Then I counselled, for the first time, and no matter how much it looked like I like being with kids...I don't like it at all! Either they are boy crazy, or me crazy. Or both. Ugh, the beginning was horrible, I wanted to go home so bad. But eventually I got other that homesickness or whatever it was and started to enjoy me week. And by the end, I was having a good week. I think I might see a pattern here.
Next came camping....I love family! I went tubing for the first time, it was so much fun! I an going to try and make this move a little faster so, I worked next which sucked much. Then I headed over to Alberta which was super fun and a little scary with Jess and everything. Then summer was over........

The Wonderful Art of Complaining!

I don't even know where to start. Perhaps that's because there is nothing to start with but I will try to scrounge up some exciting details of my otherwise dull week. Hm, I started my Lit. exam which is last years provincial exam. I'm sure you all know what I'm going through right now. Tomorrow I have to start the first draft of the essay. I don't know what I'm going to right about yet...perhaps if any of you read this by tomorrow morning, you can give me some ideas. The topic is change - it sounds simple enough but really, it's hard to come up with a good solid idea.
Another exciting moment in my life happened only a few hours ago in the very place I sit....I learned how to tap on the guitar! Yay, tapping makes me sound like I know what I am doing on the guitar but really it's quite easy. If you ask nicely I might show it to you.
I watched the first of the last set of Anne of Green Gables today. Those are actually pretty good movies. Oh how I love Gilbert Blythe!
Ugh, this is so frustrating! I cannot think of anything to say...at all! Except maybe that my VCR just ate up my sisters movie Grease...shh...don't tell her! How perfectly horrible! And I wanted to watch that movie again. Now it is doing something else strange so I guess I'll let it run it's course and hope for the best.
Is anyone looking for a job? Anyone? Because you can have mine! Well, it's not to bad but sort of it is. It's also that I hate how it interferes with everything else in my life.
But I am suddenly feeling exhausted and am craving some sleep. So, so long my dear friends who are nice enough to read my complaints!

Stubborn Teachers, Spain, and a Bourne Night!

Well, I defiantly tried to hand in those assignments, but unfortunately; she is actually sticking to her word and will not mark them until February. It is something strange that has come over her. I do not know what it is but she is acting very different from last year. Many people will have trouble applying for school because of this predicament. But, I’m not going to worry about that!
I am actually thinking about going to Spain for school. I think it is with the same school that Eric Dueck went with. It’s either that or Austria, or maybe a short term missions trip to Africa or South America. I am not to sure which way God is leading me. I was talking with Colleen from work and she encouraged me to just wait for Him to tell me where I am supposed to be. It’s really hard not to worry about it but I think I’m doing pretty good so far. I had a beautiful God-time yesterday as well. I got an email from Dayna, and it encouraged me a lot! Thanks!
So, I am super excited for Sunday! I can’t wait for the fondue! I love fondues so much! Michael asked me to work for him but I am working Saturday for him instead. You guys better be happy…I gave up my Saturday sleep in for you. And he is going to work on Wednesday for me hopefully. So, then I can go get my nails done! Yay! But that means that I have to grow them out and hope they don’t break. I also have to make sure that I don’t eat them. The people will think that I am some sort of morbid, cannibal, self-eater! I don’t want that to happen. That would be rather embarrassing, don’t you think?
I only have one class today, and we have a sub. This is going to be a boring day eh? But hopefully Mom can come pick me up at lunch. That would be super duper!
So Kris, I heard that you went shopping yesterday? That’s exciting. I can’t wait for that movie. I think I might scream when I see it. And then, the next available day I will have a Bourne night. It should be wonderful. It’s such a good movie. Thank you for getting it for me.
I hope everyone has an awesome day!

कैन यू रीड थिस

इ वांट सोमोने तो लोवे मी! इ ऍम सो अलोने. What I just wrote is a secret! Ha! You can't know what I said. I think I will start saying things about you guys in that strange language. Wouldn't that be fun? I should eb working on my Chem due tomorrow but I am very sick of it. I have done half a chapter already and I think that I can do the rest later. But I should also be working on English...but why should I because she says that she will not mark anything that was due before Christmas. I think I will still try to had some in. My marks are going to go down a lot if I don't. I had like 3 assignments that were supposed to be done...shame on you Janette! I haven't been able to consentrate on anything today...I always end up staring into space and just thinking, actually I don't think that I am even thinking that much. Just sitting there. I have been a bit discouraged today but I don't know why. I hope my day improves but it doesn't look to hopefull. I have to work after school and am not looking forward to it like you probably already know because all I talk about is work. I will try to stop, but I want to make conversation and that is all I ever do. Maybe my life will become more interesting in the next couple months. Only a few more months and I will graduate! Yay! That is exciting, but kind of scary...especially since I do not know what I am going to do. I thought that I was going to The Blanche Macdonald Center in BC but I don't know if that's what I am supposed to do. I have a feeling that I am supposed to do something else but when I prayed about it, God told me not to worry about it. His words were, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." So, I think that it is pretty clear that I should just wait, listen, and not worry about what my future will be. But it is harder than it sounds. I want to know now so I can plan. Ugh, it is so frustrating. But I got to go. It's almost 3:30!
