Waldon here! It's my birthday tomorrow! So, I figure I should at least try and get a post in before the weekend, eh?

I don't have much time to actually break into a good post, so I'll leave you with a photo instead, alright? I took this the other day, and it might give you a good chuckle.

Good night all!

That was a major problem this evening in the lab (the title). Out of seven of us, four (including Junior and I) couldn't get our Bunsen burners to light. For those who don't know what that is, here's a picture:

(I just got an image from Google, haha. This is pretty close to the ones we used today). They're pretty nifty when they work! You have to connect it to the gas supply, opent the gas inlet (see that little turny thing on the bottom near that hose? Yeah, open that a bit), then light it with the flint lighter (the metal thing in the picture). When you light it, you have to make sure the gas isn't on too much or it will . . . Explode, to put it bluntly. We all found that out today.

Anyway. Everyone at our bench (Hilary, Lianna, Junior, and I) couldn't get our burners to light. We kept trying different flint lighters and everything but nothing would work. Rami, our lab instructor, checked our gas valve. It turns out that it was turned off. Go us and our awesome lab skills! Other than that, everything went fine. Although, my burner was tipping over because it wasn't very balanced. I think the hose was twisted. Rami solved the problem by putting a beaker on one side. Good thing: it worked. Bad thing: if the beaker tipped at all, it would have unbalance the burner and set me on fire. I simply must say that I have great skills. In what? Possibly setting myself on fire.

Other than that, nothing really exciting happened today. I woke up at around 7 or so, and Mom asked me if I wanted to go out for breakfast at eight when the kids went to school. I said yes, naturally! FOOD = <3 . Mom and I went to the airport first then out for breakfast. I was only home for about 15 minutes after that then I had to leave again. Junior had a break at 10:30 and I wanted to play the loving girlfriend part, so I went to Tim Horton's at around 10:10. I got to the school with a French vanilla and a donut for him. He didn't even notice me at first! :O

I stayed in school after that because I didn't want to waste gas going home and going back. Well, Junior and I went to his house for a minute with his truck, so that doesn't count. We both passed in our pre-labs. I just hing out at the school after that because I didn't have a class until 1:30. Fun times. I didn't get home this evening until about 7:45. I didn't get to eat until about 8:15 or so because I did my lab while it was still fresh in my mind. Now, I feel sick because I ate so late. The only reason I ate is because Junior wanted me to. Apparently ten hours without food is bad. (><)

Well, that's it for me. Good night!

- Bre :)

That sounds unnecessarily vulgar, but I assure you, I didn't mean for it to sound that way. I was referring to this large space here that I'm typing in. I have absolutely no idea what to put here today. I didn't really do much at all. I shoveled the end of my driveway this morning? Yep. Pretty exciting. :P

Actually, I did do something pretty noteworthy now that I'm thinking about it. Bre let me go down to her house after school. :) Thank you for that Bre, it meant a lot to me. I hate being alone during the day. Heck, even at night.

So, we spent the afternoon, until I had to go, watching television. We were watching the BET network. Does anybody know what that stands for? I thought it was "Black Entertainment Television", but nobody really knows. :S Bre worked on her knitting while I was watching TV. It was a good afternoon. :)

I spent a good p0rtion of today doodling and sketching. I'm feeling really out of it though and my actual sketches are kind of crappy. I've got one of my hand which I was planning on using in another piece, that didn't turn out too well. Well, I guess I can always fix it another time?

Now. What else can I put here to fill in some space? I hate having small posts, but I guess I have no choice. I think I'm going to go text Bre some more before bed, and then read a little more I suppose. :P

My most sincere apologies to everybody hoping for an interesting post. Good night everybody!
-Waldon

Waldon here, and if you don't know the title, hang your head in pop culture shame. :P I've got a headache tonight, so I'll see how far I can get with this, sorry if it's not very long.

This morning was a Delayed Opening, so I got to go down to Bre's house for a little while. That was fun. :) After that we went on to classes. I had Art Class first thing in the morning and I think that's my favorite way to start the day. I worked on a sketch I started last night of a fairy/pixie thing, and I think it's come out rather well.

After Art, I had World History where we discussed 0ur research papers that are due at the end of May and watched a little bit more of the movie about the life of Gandhi. He was an amazing man, but I've already talked about him in one of my previous posts, so I won't delve into that again, as much as I'd like to. :P

Then, because it was a Delayed Opening day, we went straight on into third period, which just so happened to be Music. Music is another of my good courses this year. I play Tenor Sax in the band segment and my own Harmonica when I get the chance. We were playing Band all class, but near the end I was losing air out of the Sax from somewhere and I wasn't getting much noise. I think it may be an air flow problem from my mouthing maybe? :S I hope I haven't broken a valve or something. That would suck.

Next was lunch. Lunch is great, Bre and I always go to the Math Help Centre. Today I was debating the equal importance of English as a course as Math with Sam. Sure, Math is the "Universal Language", but you really can't SAY anything with it. It's important, yes. I'm not denying that. Losing your mathematical skills is stupid, they're the fundamentals for everything involving science and engineering. But the course itself and having an understanding of the language we speak is just as important. The course inspires critical thinking and improves your grammar and eloquence. Which are things that can easily help you in communication with everybody else and in the workplace. Don't undervalue that. You can understand as much theory as you want. But if you're a jerk because you talk like your opinion is better than somebody's without trying, nobody cares if you can find 'x' a billion different ways. :P

After lunch I had English class, oddly enough, and I spent the period doodling while listening to our reading of "Catcher In The Rye". That was over soon enough. xD

Last it was Nutrition class. Where all the jerks in school go to get an easy credit and some food. I really dislike my class. My old Nutrition class was GREAT. I loved it. But this class makes me want to punch people. Let's not talk about that class overmuch.

After school I had to go to a meeting with two of the young girls that are going to be in the children's dance show with myself and a member of my troupe as entertainment between the dances. Because admit it, if it's not your kid on stage, those dances are... mediocre. Now, if that's YOUR kid on stage, that show was better than anything you've ever seen before. No. You're not biased. ;)

Bre decided not to get a ride home with me today, so it was a lonely ride home. I HATE driving home alone. There's really no rational reasoning behind it, but there you go. It depresses me. I don't mind going home alone if I've dropped somebody off, or if I'm leaving somebody's house or whatever. But if I've just gone from point A to point B without seeing anybody? Like, going to the gym or driving to the store? Nah. That makes me sad. I don't like that at all. xD

Now, oddly, I don't mind it at all if I'm walking or biking. But if I'm driving a truck or a car? After I get to my destination, I'm ready to just curl up in a corner somewhere. :P

So, after my drive home I ate supper and sat down. There I remained for the rest of the night. I've been playing games all night and haven't done much else, sadly. Gunner didn't even want to go for a walk, and I can't blame him: His legs are hurting him. :(

And so I'm done. I suppose I did okay with this blog?
Good night everybody!

Waldon here, and I thought I'd try something different. Instead of writing a blog post about my day (even though I was able to talk to Bre on the phone for a good while tonight, I really liked that! :) ), I think I'm going to put up a sketch I did a while back instead. I like this picture and although the scanning pixelated and stretched it a bit, I think it's mostly acceptable.

So, Good night all!

As the title indicates, it’s getting late and I need to go to bed. So! I’m going to make this a quick one. I know, I know. I’m such a slacker. I need to be more consistent with my blog posts. I also know that I keep saying this, and I keep getting Junior to fill in for me by using such lame excuses as “I’m tired,” and “I need to fill out this scholarship form.” Jeepers. I’m awful! And I’m a mooch! I don’t know what that guy sees in me. Apparently I’m pretty awesome (according to him, but he’s biased). Oh well. I’ll solve this mystery another time, when I’m not so tired. :P

So, Valentine’s day was yesterday, as was Junior’s birthday. Normally, I only celebrate Junior’s birthday, but this year was different. I had someone (Junior) to celebrate Valentine’s day with. Go figure. As I mentioned in the home blog last night, he gave me the CUTEST origami heart. I love it! It’s next to me right now. I’ll post a picture of it at the end of this post. We didn’t do anything special last night. I think he mentioned going out to dinner at a later date? He’s pretty much a closet romantic. I love it. It’s the total opposite of me. Anywho, Russell went to his house to hang out, so I just sat around filling out a scholarship form. I had to pass it in today, so I was trying to get it done ASAP. It was passed in on time, I’m glad to say.

I am also happy to say that Junior was my Valentine. :)

I asked Ryan about the procedure of getting a Valentine. Was Junior automatically my Valentine because we’re together? Or do I have to ask? Ryan said I had to ask. SO! I did. And I got myself a Valentine.

Today was all right. Junior picked me up and we went to school. School was all right. I had double Math first thing this morning. I got a Pre-cal assignment that we had to have handed in at the end of class, and the same thing in Math. Luck for all of us, neither had to be complete. Math is kind of lonely without Junior… But don’t tell him that. He’ll think I like him or something, the creeper. :P

French was okay. We did some work. Chem was okay this afternoon. We have a quiz on acids and bases on Thursday and a lab to do on Friday. English was incredible, as always. Today we were in the “circle of learning.” In other words, our desks were placed in a circle around the class and we all faced each other. It was awesome! I like the circle of learning.

Today was also a canteen day! Nikita, Deejay, Junior and I were all there. I didn’t help much because  I was clueing up the scholarship application.

Tonight, I was at Nan and Pop’s for a bit. I cooked them supper. I love my grandparents. :D

Also, I thought Junior was cheating on me. He hadn’t text me, so at 5:30 I text him. Naturally, I knew he wasn’t cheating on me. He was only at drama practice a little late. Silly me. I’m not attached at all.

Okay. That’s enough of my crap for the night. Good night all!

-Bre :)

P.S. Here are the pictures !

Waldon here. Bre is out again tonight, she's got a lab paper due tomorrow. What kind of teacher assigns a lab over Christmas Break? Yeah, so I'm going to be doing it again. That girl is always working so hard, she deserves a break. Come on people. If you know her and you're reading this, give her a little breathing room maybe?

I was up at 5 15 AM this morning. I hate not being able to sleep. I was asleep last night at around 1 30 or 2, so you can tell I'm kind of ornery right now. It all worked out for the best though, I've got to admit. I lay in bed for an hour and then got up and got myself ready for the day. My sister was leaving to go back to University this morning, she was gone by 8. So was I, I left the house and was on my way to meet Gladdale by 8. So for most of the morning Glad and I were in Tim's eating breakfast. We then proceeded to foot-pad it all the way to Northmart. So until 11 AM I was out and around town. We got back to my house and I put a frozen pizza in the oven and Scottie, Glad and I all ate that. Later on, Bre came over and worked on her Chem. You can tell shes been working hard, guys.

After supper, I worked on my math assignment a little, then switched over to sketching. I love sketching. It may not be the most sophisticated form of art, but at least I can get a few giggles out of it. I do portraiture as well, but it's harder to get permission from somebody  to let me use a picture of them so I can draw their face. It tends to sound kind of creepy. Bre invited me over to see her before she left to go back down to her moms house, but I couldn't get over because I had to walk my dog. >.< So to apologize, I dedicated a sketch just to her.

Glad, Scottie, Jessica and I were going to watch a movie tonight that Glad told use we HAD to watch, I think it was called "Memoirs of a Survivor"? But we couldn't get a hold of the movie, so we had to go without. I hope I see her before she leaves to go back to University.

Anyway, I don't see anything big happening over the next few hours, so I'm going to cut the blog short again and attempt to raise Bre's spirits a little. Lord knows she needs it right now with all that Chem. I never could get a hang of chemistry. Blows my mind. Anyways... Good night everybody!

Today, Junior had wrestling and I had... Well, nothing. I didn’t need to tutor (last minute cancellation), so I just stayed in anyway. It turns out that Ryan was staying in (again) to finish off his research paper. So! I stayed with him. Junior offered to bring me around when he was done wrestling/whenever I was supposed to be done tutoring. He’s some nice. :)



Anywho, at about twenty after four, Junior came into the library and got me, and I went out to the truck. Ryan passed in his research paper, so he came out to the parking lot with me. Junior had given me his keys so that I could start the truck. I. Love. His. Truck. Trucks are my weakness. It’s an old Chevy. I LOVE Chevrolet, haha. Junior had to go to his locker to get something (was it his locker?). That’s why I got the keys. So, he came out, hopped in the truck, and we drove off. Because I spilled the Rice Krispies on the floor yesterday morning (ugh. I dropped the container that they were in, the container opened, and the cereal went EVERYWHERE), I had to go to the store to buy a new box. Junior was kind enough to give me a ride there.

We went to the store and got what we needed - AKA, I got cereal, scented body wash (coconut = yummy), a toothbrush, and yogurt, while Junior got some deodorant (and something else.. That I can’t remember). After leaving there, we ran across the road to the optometrist because my new glasses were supposed to be in soon and they hadn’t called me about them yet. It was about 4:55 and they close at five, haha. Luckily for me, my glasses were in! :D

So, I payed for my glasses and then Junior brought me home. The drive was so weird! I had my glasses on, and I could finally see clearly again. I haven’t been able to see through my glasses properly for a couple of months now. It was a GREAT change. I’m so glad Junior brought me down today!

I was at Nan and Pop’s for supper. As usual, Nan’s cooking was impeccable. When I got there, Cody text me to hang out. I said that I couldn’t because I had to tutor. THEN, Lisa text me and told me that she didn’t need me tonight because she was/is sick (get well soon, hun!). THEN, I text Cody and said that I could possibly hang out. THEN, Ryan text me and told me that he couldn’t do the project tomorrow because he had plans with Meghan. SO! I had to tell Cody that I couldn’t hang out tonight, but could maybe hang out this weekend. Maybe. Ryan and Meghan’s 17 month anniversary is tomorrow. Holy cow! They’re such a beautiful couple. It warms my heart to see them together. :)

Anywho, Ryan picked up Britt and I from Nan and Pop’s around 6:30 and dropped Britt off at Mom’s. We proceeded on to his house, where he finally ate supper and we tried to work on our project. We had to leave shortly after seven to pick up his brother at hockey. When we got back, we worked on our project and played a game of chess - simultaneously. It was great. Naturally, I lost. I’m awful at chess.

Ryan dropped me off at Mom’s (what a sweetheart. The Pathfinder is with Mom, and I didn’t take Dad’s truck, and I didn’t want to get Nan to pick me up. He offered to bring me home), and I came inside to chill with Nan and Britt. We watched Jeopardy, then Britt went to bed. Then, Nan and I watched some of the Canadian Tenors Christmas thing on CBC. They have gorgeous voices! Look them up on YouTube or something, because their talent must be shared. NOW, I’m sitting down, writing this.

I should go to bed though.. I have a Pre-cal test tomorrow, a Math test the next day, a Chem test on Friday, the A Separate Peace assignment due Friday, and a Chem lab due on Tuesday (of next week). At least I have our French class Christmas party to look forward to tomorrow afternoon! We’re missing Chem because of it. It’s going on from 12:14 or so to 3:16. All afternoon! Woot! Ms. Shortt is ordering pizza for us (and won’t let us pay. She says it’s our gift from her), and someone is bringing in a Wii or PS3, so we’ll be set.

And now I’m done. Good night!

- Bre :)

PS. Here’s a picture of me with my new glasses. I like them. :D
