WOW

Just one more day.

It’s nearly Christmas.

Schools nearly over and I’m nearly off on my cruise.

Last night was good, but it was also bad. I didn’t do any homework whatsoever. I spent the whole night making Christmas presents. I did a total of 58 cards and about 30 something gifts. I wrapped them, made them, wrote in them, etc. All last night. The bad thing is that it didn’t feel like it did before, years ago. I lost the happy excitement of Christmas. – I recall someone saying that as you get older you long and wish and just always reminesce in the past and in those memories, the feelings of the past. Similarly, that’s what I am feeling.

I’ve got lots of work to do over the holidays. And especially because I will not be there for one week, it will be even more hectic when I get back, because I have to hang out with friends, do all more work, prepare for exams, prepare for the stuff coming up and also to finish university applications.

During English class, we were having our CPT presentations. Luckily I got chosen to go today, because if not I would have to go to last period tomorrow and sit through all the presentations. I presented, not prepared because she didn’t give me any notice, llike she did to everyone else. But luckily I think I did good. There were times when I was stumbling and I was unsure of what I was to do next, cause I guess I didn’t play it through in my head well enough yet. However, I wrote a poem. What I was really surprised was that I was able to read the poem exactly as I imagined it. i.e. with all the emotions, expressions and changes in my tone of voice. Not only that, there were some times when I was so into it that I wanted to do the actions too! I don’t know what went into me, cause I mean, I was presenting in front of the class and what not, so usually I’m nervous, I stutter and I get red. But I guess it was pretty good this time.

Katie got in to Carlton! That is so awesome! I am so happy for her. She tells me in the morning and her face just brightens up. It’s really cool. She deserves it. She’s one of the few people in this world who … I don’t even know how to describe it, she’s just really honest, really awesome, kind, true, compassionate and everything great!

Well, I hope I will get an acceptance letter from McGill. I really want to go there.

I got chosen for the Casey’s Choice Award.

I am going to go eat dinner now.
