Busy but Exciting

Oh jeez, sorry, this has been one of the longest breaks between my posts. Just been waay too busy for the past couple of days – will explain later. I just have so much stuff that I'm currently working on and even more that's going on in my mind. I seriously hope that I can get it all down on the computer. Don't wanna forget any of this stuff.

So, looking back on my calendar, let's start from Monday. Monday the only thing that I can recall that's important was markham village library volunteering orientation and interview, which was pretty cool. I guess, now, interviews aren't as intimidating as they once were. Which is really good.

Something else that has been pretty big and new to my routine is biking. =D Every since I started biking last Friday, I have been returning home eager to go out for a bike ride at the park. I'm slowly but gradually learning how to bike better, but I still can't make those turns… anywho, it's some great exercise and nice to just relax and let my mind go free and just wander about in nature. The main reason why I took the initiative to start learning to bike and actually doing it is for the Duke of Edinburg award. However, I don't know if I'm still gonna continue with it, due to the outdoor adventure thing. Cause it's hard for me to do biking for it since I'm still really bad at it, however, the people who are doing it with me are pushing me to bike and I don't think I can, and also no one is doing any research for the location and we don't have much time left until the date I want to do it. So there's this chance that I might not pull through with it, which is unfortunate, but I've still gotten a lot out of it. I still hope I can continue to do it though… iunno, we'll see

I don't know if you've realized, but majority of my posts and the things that I talk about are not about academics, they're the extra curriculars. I've just realized that… and it's not a surprise, but still I just thought I had to mention it. Cause like extra-curriculars are soo much more important than academics. I was talking to a friend the other day and we were saying that if the work that we do for the extra-curricular stuff would go towards our academics, wouldn't that be great? =D

So on Tuesday after school we had an OSAID meeting. Yay! It was fun, mrs. Smyth made cookies, which were yummy! So about the meeting, we didn't get much or anything really covered but a lot of my friends wanted to join and run for an exec position and the president is making them write speeches and actually have an election. Honestly, I have a few choices and biases of my own. This is before their speeches, but this is not because some are better or closer friends than others. I like being fair, I think that one should run for a position if they think they best suit it. And I choose or want someone to be in a position because I think that they are suitable for it.

Okay, I'm getting tired and bored of this… let's talk about something different. So today, I was at Markville and I saw Mrs. MacDonald! Isn't that so awesome! Anywho, we talked for a good 45 minutes and yeah it was really cool. It's really nice to be able to catch up and talk to someone you haven't seen or talked to in a very long time.

This morning, I went to an OSAID meeting with the school board and I thought it was really really really awesome. Although it was small and short, it was informative and organized. I think that every council should have something like this where there is a centralized focus. This will allow schools all over the place to collaborate and exchange ideas, in the end, it will just benefit the students.

I think I mentioned this earlier, but if I didn't here's a recap. So basically, a few months ago I came up with this idea for a school event. Basically it's like a university fair kinda thing but instead of universities, it would be the clubs and councils. I thought this would be a great idea to help the little clubs and new committees to promote themselves and get new members. But then, I just kinda left it sitting in my head and didn't do anything with it until I went to the BAM retreat where I shared it with my group and the rest of the students. Then I told my teacher about it and she loved the idea. She then passed it on to other teachers and the vp during a staff meeting and they really liked the idea too. But then, today, during the Anti-Bullying meeting, my teacher was talking about it, and she didn't know that it was my idea. I guess this isn't right, but I just couldn't help but feel a little upset with the fact that no one really knew that it was my idea. And I think I should take some initiative to get it going and start working on it… it's hard with all these events and stuff cause school is done next week.

Alright, there's more I want to say, but it's 8 and I haven't done any homework, so I have to start. I'll post later or soon, I hope.

This is a pretty cool quote. And it's really true, you don't have to be bored, you can look at the bright side and find opportunities and exciting stuff in every moment.
