longer days

today was a long day. starting with have great difficulty getting out of bed, more so then usual. the bus me and 5 or so other usually get on, never came. we ended up taking a 1C and getting on the mall bus. With just moments to spare. fortunatly, i had to leave from first immideatly; being on music ministry and JOE team, had no shortage of responsibilities.

had mass. we did good, as usual. however, we lacked real queues as to when to being to sing and play. always room for improvement. afterwards we had to distribute the bread we ordered to all the rooms and offices. we finished that and then spend my 2nd spare chilling in CM and playing president.

3rd we law, drawn out, and off topic as usual. never changes. every 10 minutes or so, I have the responsibility to yell out "ok, lets talk about law!" we keep going over the same material, talking about racism, morality and The Charter of Rights and Freedoms. However, because its Church, its not a real legal view, its a historical view. dont get me wrong, i love history, im going to university for it. BUT i took a law class for a reason. not to have Church's botched take on Canadian History...

In religion, touma was "a trip", as usual. we had a quiz after after yesterdays test!?! it made no sense. it was based on the homework questions we had to do last night. But for some reason, she didnt check or collect the 7000 question which were assignedd yesterday following the wonderful test... i hate that so much...

thanks for asking

how was my day? well, thanks for asking!

1st per, we continued doing little informal presentations about our studies was just finished. i love presenting stuff. i dont know how people dislike being in front of people. its envigorating. really.

in second, spare, heaven. and of course because of the literacy test - OSSLT. (ontario secondary school literacy test), or as i call it the (Ontario Spend$ as Students Learn Trash). either way, i got a much longer spare. score!

law was as usual. blah. its not really that good without beltran. but i like chuch, this is the 5th class i've had with him. i know his life story. and it sickens me each time he wastes class time telling it.

and finally religion. touma. whats to say. we did have a test, however. it was easy. simple spewing back at her which she shoved down our throat. thats the ministry of education for ya! but luckily, i was able to leave immideatly after the 20min test to help direct the setting up effort for the mass tomorrow. furth always drops something on my shoulders. i often enjoy it though. except with masses, theres always a few teachering milling around the gym acting like they know what their doing when in reality, they're making things uber difficult.

fake spring

this blog's title is how i feel regarding so called "spring" thus far. its fake. i believe its really winter, masqerading as a poor form of spring. the fleeting mounds of snow are slowly thawing, but the wind is still brisk and bitter. the sun may be out, but its just a few degrees above freezing! its an illusion. really.

but meteological blah-blah aside, today was tiring. no one event did this, i just had crap sleep last night, i suppose. can never be sure. i'm going to take a nap now, it will be good. nice and warm and resting. i have a meeting to go to this evening at 8ish. when i come home, i'll be totally wiped.

today in religion was fun, at least. touma is getting increasingly frustrated with us but shes always laughing as well. i really enjoy that class, its kinda like last semester philosophy. tons of fun and you can express yourself. thats what highschool should be all about!
Agree?

out of the loop

NOTE: i will not be posting on the weekends and holidays, daily. it would be to much for me to do. but when my weekends/holidays are eventful, you'll be the first to know!

i had the hardest time getting to sleep last night. it wasn't like i had coffee any time near attempting to sleep (had one that morning at 11 or so). but, being Monday (yesterday), we had dinner (which i really didn't enjoy), my mother went to work at 6pm and i got restless.

i could have done a number of things. but i was defiantly hungry and not in the mood to eat some household food, i walked down the street to giant tiger to get some cheap chocolate. against my intentions, i also grabbed a sub from Subway. yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. it sat well.

I watched James Bond: Golden eye on my laptop. one of my favorites. i love all James Bond movies. i keep attempted to watch American Gangster which i also have downloaded, never have the patience for it, especially when i saw it was like 2 and a half hours! Holy Moses! when i borrow/ rent/ download movies, i ALWAYS watch them in like 45 minute chucks. (Lord of the Rings took like a week for me to watch, still excellent) but i just don't have the patience to sit through the whole bloody thing!

Mid-Day

rolled out of bed this morning, totally groggy. i actually set my alarm, last night, to wake me at 6:45 just so i could jump out of bed and be blissful knowing that i could just jump back in bed to sleep for another 3-4 hours. it was surreal.

my mother went shopping in the states with my aunt and two couisns (who left their cars in my driveway). Also, oddly, there's a wad of like two hundred dollars just sitting on the table in the kitchen. its werid. I keep wishing it's mine.

so, as always, another intresting day in blogging. had an intesting comment on a previous blog from ms ward; a resident expert on blogging, having done it for a number of years (and i belive her university degree is in blogging, if i'm not mistaken). I've come to believe blogging is, mentally, a full time thing. people are always going to get their panties in a bunch over your honesty. so i encourage, usher in an era of truth and transparency, everyone blog!

A New Day

NOTICE: when you see sentenses in quotations "like this", it means its my patented pharses that is important to know & understand. merci.

It was a good day today. had a sub in 1st. i like ms cuderman, shes proable one of the smartest and best teachers at St Joes. I once thought teachers knew everything, till i came to highschool, and found out most are really full of it. But there are many exceptions to this (Pitre, church, beltran, fuerth, cuderman, plante etc).

Aside from this, ms fureth was kind enough to roll in a television so we could watch some episodes of Whose Line is it Anyways? , one of the best shows ever produced. it was great, there was like 10 of us + fuerth packed into C.M. it was awsome.

I also realized recently that blogging is a VERY difficult thing. and cardinal rule #1 is that it is not a paparazzi site. even know digging up dirt on people can be gratifying, its not for blogging. as a general notice, i apologize for anyone's toes i've stepped on (my recent blog entitled "Holy Moses" still stands) however, those of you who come to this site for gossip and dirt will no longer find it. sorry.

but there is another carindal rule, one i didnt devise: keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer. its so true and good. so stay on my good side, as i always say:

"It doesn't matter what you say. It just matters how many times and how loud you say it."

Holy Moses!

Lets get something stright. If you cannot handle that I (and the other millions who blog) have thoughts, and that a blog is meant to put them in writing, then i suggest you stay away from other sources of truth.

If you cant handle it then get the hell away from my blog! These people who have a problem with honest should be shot, im afarid to say. (actually i'm not afraid to say it). But for those of you who cherish living a world of deception, lies and illusion, then go, and you should not be reading this anyway!

Holy moses some people are screwed up...
Good day.

I Said No

well, Katie o. is making a pathetic attempt at planning a party (since no one wants to have one) which will include an amount of drinking. I said no. Shes crazy. And apparently Sam M. brings something to the parties to make it "fun". Her words, not mine.

I speak to others, and we all seem to ask. "Am i the only law abiding teenagers?" I probably wont be drinking until i'm able to, you know, the legal way!?! And even then, i don't say to myself "Im going out to get wasted this weekend!!!!!!!" Idiots.

And then we remember the ridiculous band Tatu when Jordin Sparks song Tatoo came on. I like her, shes like 18 and Christian! Cant hit the target any better. And theres Katie screaming for attention. Pathetic.

The most blunt and accurate account of all my thoughts as if I was foolish enough to speak them to you.
