Oh man...I'm so sorry!

I keep thinking I'm going to post more often in this blog, but I forget...week after week after week...ahh!! So I'm going to write now to make up for all this lost time.

Yesterday was ski day! It was sooo much fun, despite the cold, and the fact that I almost died going on a "square" that was definitely NOT a square....it was for sure a diamond, plus it was narrow AND icy and right below a chair lift. It was not a fun run. But after that, I managed to do some moguls which was amazing, even though I nearly hit a tree and fell after every third mogul! :D

Skating this morning was a disaster because I was incredibly tired after yesterday's skiing. I got to the rink and got on the ice for my lesson, and my coach greeted me with her beautiful honesty. Her first words to me were: "What's wrong?? You look DEAD!" haha

I have a skating show tomorrow which should be interesting, considering my solo is brand new. I learned it in one 45 minute lesson about a week and a half ago, so I'm not too comfortable with it yet....soooo Winter Carnival should be fun! haha hopefully I will at least not fall on my footwork like I did last week.

Hmmm what else....well I'm still going through the infamous CEGEP dilemma...I have no idea where I want to apply yet, and our stupid academic advisor dude is making us hand in a form with our averages and our 1st and 2nd choices for CEGEPs and programs this week! Almost a month early! I have no clue why he wants us to choose so soon....but whatever...that means by Thursday, I will know what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. Exciting.

I've spent the last week working on a crazy assignment for music. We have to take a song by Stephen Foster and turn it into a dixieland style song. It is impossible because I obviously had to choose a song that's chords change every bar, and so I'm having a really hard time. And it's due on Monday. And I sitll have to record a solo section and then improvise over the melody at the end and create some sort of drum track. And do all the rest of my homework which includes studying for a massive math test on logs and growth and decay curves, and reading HAMLET. All tomorrow. After my skating show.

Ok so I think that's enough writing about my stressful life.

I love Obama.

A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense. - Barack Obama
