HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOBBY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAIN!! *^o^*

Yar, haven't been online for a while. Hence the "creative manipulation" of above date. Birthday wishes aren't late ... no, never.

I hate writing ToK essays!! It took me virtually the entire day to finish mine. Especially since every time I ran into a brick wall (which was often -- maybe once every 200 words) I'd get fed up and take a break. Plus I'd listen to music, which is nice, but I find it doesn't help me work. ToK essays are the bane of my existence!! This IS the last one, isn't it?

Thinking up titles is diverting, though ... especially when they sound deep, like "the Echelon of Truth: Concurrently Relative and Universal". Muahahaha. All my ToK essays are at the bare minimum word length.

Sammo should be back by now! *^_^*

Pitas.com was acting funny, and when I refreshed, it went backwards! My last entry was lost -_-;; and it was a while ago so I remember nothing of what I wrote. But never mind.

Why is it that I feel this incredible urge to slack off NOW, of all times, when things actually COUNT? In previous years I actually worked ... now it's like eh. And I shouldn't be here, I should be studying for the History test and English written commentary tomorrow.

Although my "anticipated marks" were pleasantly surprising. I seriously doubt I will live up to them (I mean, what was Barois thinking when he predicted me a 6 or 7??). Oh, and I read the UBC viewbook yesterday; it was interesting. I STILL have no idea what I'm going into. Well, maybe a hint of an idea, since I know what I'm NOT interested in. Like ... I'll stay away from engineering and commerce and law. And odd things like forestry and midwifery o_O;

Grad photos X_x such a hassle.

Now that the IB 12 retreat is finally past, things are probably going to settle into their customary groove. There's still the grade 11 retreat in a few weeks, though at this point I hardly care whether I go or not. But I'm sure it's too late to back out.

Jubilee, as I hear from feedback, was lots of fun. For the Directors, it was fun and a lot of work. By the end of each day, none of us had energy left to talk before we fell asleep. If the Directors were cranky on Monday, it was because we had, at most, 4 hours of sleep (the second night I managed to get 5, and almost 6 hours on the third night). A handful of us actually got sick on the trip x_X;

The 12 Directors (with Mrs. Willard and Ms. Patton) left on Sunday afternoon. Fondue party!! *_* It should be interesting to compare photos of that first day with ones taken after. Sunday: when energy is high. Wednesday: when energy is nonexistent.

I think I'm the Delinquent Director. It feels like the others did so much more work! *guilt trip* Maybe next retreat I won't be constantly trying to escape ... since there won't exactly be anyone to escape to.

Sooo tired yesterday!! In Bio, note-taking made my muscles cramp and it felt like I was writing in slow motion. But for once there was no after-school meeting and I could go home early!!

Cat, Mike, Bobby -- congratulations on the SmartAsk victory *_*! Happy 17th, Iris (I <3 the angel) *_*! Sam -- sleep lots and get better soon!!

So.

I ... have nothing to say. But I told Sam yesterday that I'd blog. So. No swimming today; no Subway either; and I opted to stay home while the rest of my family went to Deer Lake. Actually tried throwing myself at homework, and found that it didn't really work -- although I did type History notes. I have no self-discipline! xD

Short-term work I can handle without difficulty. It's the long-term projects that I procrastinate on. Like EE. And English informal commentary. But at this point I'm very surprised the workload is so light.

Not that there's an unlimited amount of time to enjoy that fact, due to Directorship, mainly. Tempers were wearing rather thin last week ... after my EE meeting on Thursday, I slipped into my Director's meeting and Rebecca whispered, "They're a little stressed right now." Yar ... it was wonderful o_O.

My opinion is that some of them tend to take on ALL the workload, and some of us have nothing to do. What I've learned through the years of groupwork is NOT ever to volunteer to do all the work (although occiasionally it happens anyway). I'll offer to do my share, but if other people want to do everything, I'll let them. Not that that usually happens, however.

The Friday meeting went much more smoothly and my grade 11s (Group 1! Coincidence? I think not!) are working together nicely. Ciara came over and remarked, "They look so happy! My group's just o_O."

Now I'm sleeeeepy *yawns*

Maybe this is something Catherine can explain to me:

History reading actually wasn't so bad; I managed to stay awake. But I'm putting off math ... which I will have to do later today. X_x Can't believe that only last Monday I was still free ... feels like forever, yet I'm still in summer mode.

And it's finally raining! I actually liked the perpetual sun. Now it's dark out and only 8:30, less like summer and more like ... September. I can stand heat better than cold (err, even though I complain xD). So sleepy right now ...

Well, that wasn't particularly necessary per se ... I'm sure you all know my timetable by now. But my blog always looks empty after archiving and I need something to fill up space. Kinda like a TOK essay, come to think of it.

I'M A GRAD! *dies* So what comes after? Hopefully someone will fill me in later on, because at this point I have no clue. And frankly, I've never looked forward to a school year less. Is it really only the third day back? Today was the first real day ... mon dieu, I'm bored already! I'm not gonna last till the May exams!!

AND I have too many commitments. IB Conference Director, Big Bang, Reach For the Top, Polyglots ... hrm. It's that Directorship thing that's taking up so much time. School hasn't been in session for a full week and I'm already caged in till 5 pm. At least it'll be over after the Retreats ...
