I am still trying to find the time to write in this thing, in fact this week my goal is to write every night and see what happens. Wish me luck...
So...as for my weekend, on friday i helped to run and participated in dusk 2 dawn. Although we did not have as many participants as we had hoped, the event went over better than i personally had expected. If we do end up running the event again next year (which in my opinion is very doubtful) i think that there are definitely a few changes that could be implicated to make things better.
It seems like deadlines are coming up faster and faster slowly drowning me. I feel like in every class i have something due, over due or in the process of being due. i have an overwhelming amount of work and it seems like a huge struggle to find any motivation whatsoever to get it done. In Mr. VanEek's philosophy class he talked about something he calls' "senior-itis" which is what i think i am suffering from. It's that uncontrolable feeling of not being motivated and failing to see how important school work really is. On top of this lack of motivation i am getting really sick, which isn't exactly encouraging. I have that horrible swollen throat, that makes it feel like an impossible feat just to swallow occasionally and my head feels like it has swollen up to the size of a balloon that is simply waiting for the perfect opportunity to explode. I have been taking cold medicine and vitamins like crazy and i am just trying to avoid getting any sicker. I would take the time to stay in bed and rest but i just don't hae the time becuase of all the deadlines i have. In any case, i am tring to write more and maybe one of these times i will have something profound and genius to throw at you. Until then...

Hello again.
It seems like i can never find the time to write in my blog. So many things happen and by the time they are over i have no energy or time to write about them. But really need to keep up with it, so i am trying really hard to write things down as they happen so i don't end up as overwhelmed and exhausted as i have been.
So... what has happened lately? Well, the most recent thing i suppose was the snow day that everyone had on monday. Only for me, it was not as fortunate because instead of having my usual day off, at home alone in the peace and quiet, i was stuck in a house full of people (my sister, mom and my mom's boyfriend) because the weather was too bad for anyone to go to work or school. So tragically, while everyone was enjoying their time off i was trying to hide for most of it, in the comforting silence of my bed room. It may sound a little negative, but trust me, when silence happens very seldom, you learn to seize an opportunity and on monday i was, unfortunately, disappointed.
Other than that....i have been working alot and trying to find motivation to get all of my homework done. Its much easier said than done with me these days. Then of course there are all teh stresses that come along with university applications, that i am simply trying to block out of my mind for the present time.
Other news?Hmmm......Oh! Dusk to Dawn! My committee for SAC is helping put on the event called dusk to dawn. Everyone should come out it will be a really good time, so tell your friends and listen to the announcements in the upcoming weeks to find out more! Its alot of hard work and i really hope it goes over well.
Well, i am really really tired and my comfy bed seems to be calling my name. So i will try to write again tomorrow, although i don't know how many events of much importance will happen in the next 12 hours but i suppose only time will tell. Until next time...

So much to do, so little time...left.

Well....christmas holidays are coming to a close, and i have been thinking about my new years resolutions that i will really try to keep this year, but by the end of january will probably be long forgotten. Also, i am stressing about university aplications because leave it to me, to finish it tonight only 3 days before te deadline. I have some sort of addiction to procrastinating and then completing things under pressure. If only i could be one of those people that accomplish theirgoals early, there is actually people that do that right?!In any case, i am here on a sunday night thinking about all the things that are most likely to be done for tomorrow that i have seemed to forgotten about or procrastinated about.
Instead of doing those assignments at this particular time, i think i'll write a little about my christmas holidays. I had a really good christmas and relaxed alot and then worked boxing day, which sucks until you figure time and a half pay!I ended up working about 42 hours that week and when new years came i was really glad to have time off to enjoy it. Then the second week of holidays i had to eat, sleep, and breath skating it felt like, because we had a competition on the 6th to prepare for. The competition went well, we got first place overall out of 15 teams and we home pretty early saturday night which was really convenient. Which leads me to where i am now, sitting in front of the computer obsessing over all the things i have failed to do over this week. So i guess i better go and finish up some thigns for monday morning. Until next time...
