harvest

harvest festival was so much fun this year. it started out by running all over the campus looking fo keys. finally a teacher let us in the room, and danielle and i set up. then, jessica, grace, danielle, and i went to its a grind to kill an hour, since our shift didnt start till 4:30. coffee was fun, talked about randomness. then we came back and face painted, thanks to danielle for doing it with me, and did that until about 7? i love painting their faces. they sit there so still, and try not to laugh or talk, and then when i show them their face, thay have a huge smile! so worth it. afterwards, we went to the football game. danielle and i, that is. we met up with chantal and ian, and basically sat at one of the ends and talked- and froze! so that was my day- pretty good, overall!

WC gym trip

we went to the rock gym for wilderness challenege, today. so much better than being stuck in school. we got out durring break, and came back in seventh. i must say, this sport is not for the shy. this was basicaly my first time, so i had no idea how to use anything. a 't.a.' showed me how to put on a harness, so i did what she told me to. later, westrup walks over, along with fieldhouse, and now i have two people staring at my crotch. then david comes over. it was so funny- i wanted to laugh really bad, but i reigned myself in. finally we figured out the harness, and we started to climb! i didn't get far at first, it didnt help that we didnt start with too easy of a wall, but eventually i got the hang of it and made it to the top a couple of times. i only made it to the top when joseph was standing below me forcing me to do it, though. that was weird, but cool and fun, too.
lunch felt like it came up in no time, and after that, things were more relaxed. everyone pretty much knew what they were doing, and friends were climbing together. over all, it was alot more fun than i expected it to be :)

i love old people

today was totally amazing. i went to a convalescent home with amy and danielle. now i love old people, but it is sometimes hard to just walk into a room and start a conversation, but that is what i had to do. i'll get back to that later, though. for - i don't know- maybe thirty to fourty minutes, i walked in a circle around the nursing home. she couldn't talk, but you could tell she knew what she wanted, because she definitely knew which direction she wanted to go. i also got to decorate for halloween for awhile. most of the time i spent talking to people, though. some conversations were hard, with lots of pauses. others, you couldn't understand one word, you just smiled and hoped you put the right remark in the right spot! there was one lady, alice, who was amazing. i talked to her for an hour and a half, i think. i heard some of the same stories a few times :) but she was really nice. here is what i got from her, though. she has brain cancer, or a tumor, or something like that, and is in the nursing home. she is very talkative, as most of them are, and would love to spend all day talkin to a nurse. she tod me this, though. she said that she never tries to talk to a nurse more than she can help, because she knows that their are other patients who need her more! how amazing is that? she was full of life and hope and happiness, in a place where i would probably be pretty depressed. oh, and i think she had 12 siblings, though i'm not sure if it was her or a different lady. but yikes! that is so many- and especially if you think that they were probably born before or durring the great depression. anyway, alice made my day, and is one of my new heroes :)

I want...

to paint flowers, but I don't know how!!!

I laughed so hard I cried today- it was the first time in forever, and it felt so good! I just sat there laughing silently and shaking, the tears actually rolling down my cheeks. it was at something stupid, too.

August is so relieved her government test is over, and she did well. She is so relieved she is talking in third person, something August never ever does :]

:D

I think I'm going to pass my gov. test! I hope!

yikes, so i have a government test, an english test, and an english paper. i also have a dad who wants to change my car battery- very nice, but i have no time. i also have add, but just for the day. whenever i need to concentrate most, i never can!

i just made a facebook account, and i have no idea why:)

update!!!

it is time for an update. what about, im not sure, but ill figure it out as i go.
today was good, i had gov for an hour and a half :[ i did go to its a grind with a few amazing people, which was fun. lunch was cool, i dont really remember what happened, but i remember the happiness part. all i had to do was read for english beowulf, which was interesting. i should also study for a math quiz, but blogging is much more interesting.
tomorrow:
i have yb for 1.5hrs, then i have ceramics for 1.5hrs. with the same teacher! but thats ok, i never see her in ceramics- i talk to ian the whole time, which is cool. im also about tostart a pot that i love. it looks amazing in my head, but well see how it turns out :) i love having a project im excited to work on- there is no better feeling. i also get out at like 1:10. hallelujah! i love off-campus.

i really want art for my walls. so if anyone wants to donate anything they have done lately....

there is a blood drive at school. i want to do it, but i guess im scared. but isnt that selfish? i mean, isnt it worth it to save someones life? wouldnt i want someone to do it for me??? im trying to convince myself.
