Hey! Bre here. Tonight's title comes from a favourite song of mine, "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter. To be honest, it's the only song by him that I've ever heard. I've never bothered to look up any others. So, why choose this lyric? Because I had a bad day, obviously. Well, it wasn't all bad. It just started horribly. It all started when I woke up . . .

I woke up with my alarm as usual and stayed in bed for a while. Again, I didn't sleep well. Three or four bad sleeps in a row is enough to set me on edge for days. After my shower, I wasn't fit to look at. On top of not sleeping well, I have been having crippling headaches and I've injured my wrist. None of this waes helping my mood. Before I left, Mom gave me some Aleve for the pain and told me to take some Ibuprofen at lunch if it wasn't better. It wasn't better. But I didn't take anything because nothing was working.

So, school. Nothing terribly exciting went on. I got a Math assignment (due Wednesday). I have a Psych test on Thursday, a Chem test on Friday, and an English essay due next Thursday. We were going to have our Physics test today but that got changed (AGAIN) to Wednesday. It WAS last Friday, but it was moved to today. When we all went in to write it today (I was completely ready! I did my assignment and everything to study, and I was ready to ask Ranjan about the last question!) I was the only one that was aware that the most recent assignment would be on the test. Wow. Ranjan just smiled at me and said that the test would be on Wednesday. GAH.


This afternoon was long. It dragged on. I got home, ate supper, then started at my Math. I got most of it done, left out what I was stuck on, and moved on to my Physics. I finished my last question, then did some Chem organizing. Now, it's twenty to ten and I'm exhausted. At the moment I'm talking to Junior on the phone, sort of helping him with his Math, but he's not really doing much Math. :P

And I'm done. (><)  Good night!

- Bre :)

Good morning! Where we are, it's about five minutes after midnight so I'm just going to say that it's the morning. A brief explanation of the title: in Physics, Ranjan was teaching us something about how gravity affects falling objects, and something about the acceleration due to gravity being -9.80m/s^2 . . . Or something like that. Anyway, our test is on Monday and I'll have to figure it all out by then.

This week has been crazy! We got all kinds of assignments back and more assigned. I'm so glad both of my labs were able to be completed during the lab hours. If I had had to bring it home, I would have cried! I have three tests next week and several assignments due. I got my Math assignment done this evening (given today, due Monday) and I got an online Chem assignment done (due October 10th). Not too shabby. But I still have three tests and two assignments to do for next week! Not to mention a Chem pre-lab for Wednesday! Man, in a way I'm glad I didn't go away for my first year of university.

Because nothing major happened today in school (well, we got an English quiz back and I got 11/14 or 78.6% - awesome!), I'll just move right on to this evening. I got out at 3:30, said goodbye to Junior, and went on back to Mom's. Brooke wanted/wants to have a bake sale tomorrow to raise money to take care of an injured dog. Mom was baking the entire day for this. 190 cupcakes, fudge, and four dozen muffins later, Mom went to bed exhausted. When I got home from school, Britt was decorating. Mom needed some more stuff, so I went to the store for her. I picked up Junior and off we went!

Note: Never try to turn left when it's four o'clock rush hour.

We finally got to the store and did the shopping (obviously). Junior had to carry the basket because I've injured my wrist somehow and can't really do much. It really hurts to move it. :(  . Anywho, we did the shopping, I dropped him off at home, then went home myself.

This evening, I helped decorate cupcakes and bake muffins. Junior came down at around 7:30 or so and stayed until about 11. He sort of helped with the goodies, haha. When Britt needed a cupcake to ice, he passed one down to her. Britt is great at decorating things! She made all kinds of designs with the icing! She even made Elmos and Cookie Monsters! :D

Okay, that's it for me. I'm really tired. When Junior left, I got ready for bed . . . And did my Chem assignment. Now I'm exhausted. Good night!

- Bre :)

P.S. Junior and I have been together for nine months today! HOLY CRAP.

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 :)

Waldon here, and I want to apologize so much for my lack of blogs the past two nights! I got bogged down with homework, and I forgot all about it! I'm so, so sorry. :(

So, on to the blog! I took three science courses this year, two of which I've never even taken in high school. So, you can tell I'm kind of out of my depth here. But, I'm going to finish the year with these courses. I will.

This week I've had a TON of homework due. I've got a math assignment due sometime., but an actual due date would be too much to ask for so I've been panicking over that. I've got a physics assignment about jobs in the field of physics due by Friday, and a chem test on Friday as well as two Pre-labs, one of which was due today and another tomorrow, an English story to read and 4 pages of physics math practice homework that I needed to finish for today. The teachers will be giving us another assignment soon, I think. >.< I'm actually spending upwards of 7 hours a day in school every day, with no actual breaks during. When I get free hours, I go to the library and work on my Math or Chem. My Math is 15 pages long I think? Oh! And a chem assignment due Monday. Yeah. (>.O)

So, what have I been up to lately?

Nothing really. xD I went to Bre's last night so she could help me with my math. Thank god for that wonderful girl, she showed me how to do a bunch of the assignment and explained each individual question. :) I had a Biology lab this evening until 6 30, so I was in school for 9 hours. From 9 20 this morning.

Friday night Bre wants me to go to the movie with her and Deejay. So I guess I'll be doing that. :P It's called "Crazy Stupid Love"? I haven't even heard of it, but I bet you I know what it's about already. :P I told Bre I'd go if I can complain about it all I want. xD

Now, I guess I'm out of things to talk about? No! Wait! I'm not. :P

Tomorrow morning I'll be waking up around 6 or so to go to the gym for 6 30, I FINALLY have somebody to go to the gym with. My friend Josh will be going with me tomorrow morning for an hour or so. Neither of us could find a partner to go with. We didn't want to go up on our own, that would just be boring. :P

So, now I'm done. Good night all!
-Waldon

That's right, it's me! Bre! I know I'm not as exciting as Junior but he's busy and stressed out at the moment, so I'm taking his place tonight. He forgot about the blog last night (see? Stressed) and offered to do it tonight but I used my scary-girlfriend voice and told him no. If he has a pile of other things on his plate, the least I can do is write this for him. He's done it enough for me! Right? Thought so.

Nothing is really new, to be honest. I did the Chem assignment (due next Monday), I'm still stuck on the Physics assignment (due Friday). . . I'm reviewing Psych? Junior and I have a Chem lab on Wednesday that I'm not looking forward to. We have to write out a pre-lab with all of the procedures, materials, and objectives in it. Rami (the lab guy) said we have to do it to make sure that we actually read it through. Wow.

OH GOOD NEWS. Ranjan moved our Physics class to 12:30 tomorrow instead of 1:30, so I now get out of school at 1:30! But, at 1:30, Junior has a break, so I'm going to spend an hour with him. The poor guy is so stressed out already. It's usually him comforting me but this year it's the other way around. Sure I'm stressed! Don't get me wrong. He's just about ten times worse than me. He just doesnt' show it. Trying to be all manly and stuff, he is.

At the moment, I'm looking through my Psych study guide. It's 1211 pages long. Holy cow. I can't wait to get to chapter two! It's about the central nervous system. We did that in Bio in level two (level three Bio) so it looks pretty familiar!

I think I'm done for tonight. I need to go to bed soon or else I won't make it to Psych tomorrow morning. Good night!

- Bre :)

Today is my Dad's birthday! Yay! :D

At the moment, I'm just fixing up my Math assignment, so I'll turn my attention to this soon. *does assignment*. All right, I'm done that for the night. Time to read some Chemistry notes. (><)

I'm completely stressed out and today was only the third day of classes. I have no idea what I'm going to do next year! Perhaps I'll only feel like this for the first two weeks, then it will go away! I sure hope so. I don't know if I can handle this all semester! Physics was really stressing me out yesterday. Now, I've never done a Physics course before this so everything is new to me. There are four people in the class who took Physics in high school, and the teacher, Ranjan, is really nice. This means that I have people to ask for help if I need it! :D

Ranjan is great. He's originally from India! He's incredibly nice (so far!) and he seems really smart. Sometimes, if we don't understand him and he starts to laugh, we laugh with him. Well, I don't know about the others, but I do that when I don't catch what he said. Lucio, our Chem teacher, is from Ghana if I remember correctly? I don't know if that's how you spell it. I met him this summer at the French camp! He's really nice, too. Tony, our English teacher, is from Nigeria . . ? I don't remember. He kind of intimidates me. Maybe that's because I'm in the back of the room?

Enough about school. Today is my Dad's birthday! We went out for supper at seven (I almost missed it! I arrived at his house - Junior brought me there - at about 6:50) with some of his/Mandy's friends. It was nice! They even had cake! :o  Britt and I got home around 9:15 . . ? Maybe. I don't remember! It's been a long day. Upon getting home, I said good night to Thomas and Bryton and Britt (after her shower), fixed up my assignment, and read some Chem. Not too exciting.

Oh, fun fact. The longest I've seen Junior all week (outside of class) was 20 mintutes - we walked from school to his house, then he drove me to Dad's. I miss hanging out with him. As he said, we practically lived together all summer. But we didn't! :P

OKAY! I have stuff to do, and I'm not being exciting anyway, so good night!

- Bre :)

Hey all, it's me Waldon. I actually posted a blog here last night, but for some reason it didn't show up. That's exasperating. So, I'm writing another blog tonight to hopefully make up for it!

As anybody who reads this blog regularly will have noticed by now, (If you haven't, you're lacking something vital. :P) we're not updating regularly. There have just been too many things on the go for us to keep on top of the blog like we should. And for that, I offer my most sincere apologies and hopefully you can all find it in your heart to forgive us. Please, I hope nobody has been disappointed in us, and at myself in particular. I know I alone have sorely slipped in my responsibility to the blog.

And now, onto the actual meat of the blog!

Today has been a fairly normal day, I suppose. I drove down shortly after 8 to pick of Bre, and so by about 8 40 we were waiting in the school parking lot for the bell to ring.

First period today I had english. I love english class. :P I spent all period writing out my interpretation of the irony involved in a short story's title. I think I wrote about 300 words or so?

Next was Nutrition class, where we watched a video on... ummm... something about the worlds most famous foods brands and similar? :S We watched a segment on BBQ and Chocolate, and by the end of that I was very, very hungry. xD

Then it was Recess. Nothing happened really. :P

After that it was the start of my double math period. We're pretty much done all of our material, so we're reviewing for the next few weeks. Suffice to say, I was reading for about 2 hours. :P

In the middle of those two periods, I had lunch. Where I had to go to a dance rehearsal that nobody told me about. I wasn't even needed. I shouldn't even have to point out that making me give up my lunch for something that I wasn't needed for is an easy way to rally my chagrin.

Last period I had art class. Thank god for Art Class. Ms Edmunds didn't get any primer for me to paint over the log I'm going to be painting on, so I had a free period to sit back and do what I liked. So Sandra and I battled and traded Pokemon for about an hour. We're cool kids, you know it. :P

Then, after school I stayed in for an hour to wait for Bre to finish tutoring so that I could give her a ride home. I enjoyed it, actually. :) I got to relax in the nice quiet library for a little while. If I had my music, it would have been perfect.

Then I drove Bre to her Nan and Pops, and then commenced with my night of tooling around and doing nothing. :P

So, without further adieu. Goodnight!
-Waldon

Good evening all! Today has been an exceptional day (well, minus the fact that I discovered that my THIRD wisdom tooth is coming in) and now you get to be told about it!

School was all right, although I had trouble waking up for it this morning. Junior picked me up and we went on there. At school, I had Religion first. I finished my questions on the chapter and then I read the book that Vlad lent me, Cirque du Freak. It's a series, actually, and I finished the first book today. There are 12 in total, and Vlad has 11, so I'll be  busy for a while yet. (READ THEM, THEY'RE GREAT).

Sorry, I'm all over the place.

Second period was Pre-cal. Nothing went on. We reviewed our homework for an hour. Third period was Math. It was nice. We got some review stuff and we had time to work on our assignment... That I've had finished since Monday. So! I read!

At lunch, I went to the Math Help Centre. Junior had to go  to a dance rehearsal. :(  I went alone, but I saw Deejay, Sam, Sandra, Thomas, Robyn there! It was lovely! Junior came in about 1:05, 5 minutes before lunch was over.

After lunch, I had French. It was okay. Ms. Shortt had us do an activity where she gave us all a bunch of random things and we had to write a French story about it. I didn't finish! But I'll finish it this weekend and present it on Tuesday.

Last period was Chemistry. I hung out with Sandra and Sam while we worked on our assignments. Sandra and I always have the most wonderful chats! I finished my assignment. Sandra looked off my notes because she didn't have hers with her. I had fun. :)

After school, Junior and I went to the store to buy some Nutriwhip for the cake that I was going to make Dad and Nan. We also picked up a couple of bags of chips for Saturday night because Ryan is having a party at his cabin. We're all going down around 7 or so, and won't be back until late, so there probably won't be a blog that night. Sorry! Junior is driving me down. :)  I can't wait! I'm so excited! I'm bringing down my iPod dock as well.

Junior and I went to Dad's, then he went home. I made the cake! It is/was French vanilla, with a lemon centre and Nutriwhip on top. It was so good! Nan, Dad, and I all had a piece after supper... Now we're way too full!

So! I have to stop writing now because Dad is going to bring me down to Mom's now. Bye for now!

- Bre :)

Waldon here, and guess what? :P

Almost everything I have to do is done! I've got one more night of dance left, and then it's just a few assignments and then back to my job! I can't wait! Sure, there'll be exams, but I can handle those. I can study in my free time after I get all my events and stuff done with.

I'm sick of having stuff to do. When we got back from Euro Trip, there was Drama Fest three days later. We got back from Drama Fest and suddenly it's Bre and I's Graduation. Now, not even two days after THAT, I have four consecutive nights of dancing. I'm beat out. >.<

I just don't find dancing as interesting as I used to, sadly.

So, last night (as I mentioned) I was dancing. Between acts, I was walking out to the lobby to get a drink while the audience was watching another show. Just as I opened the main lobby door, two little girls ran and tackled said door from the opposite side. Why? I still don't know. They just stood by the door and whispered after I gathered myself back up and walked on. Now, I wasn't expecting this at all. My forehead was expecting it even less. :P Now, I still have a headache and those two girls didn't even apologize for about a hundred pounds of force being applied to my cranium. Very unpleasant, I assure you. xD

HOLY CRAP.

MR DUCKLES IS EVOLVING.

HE'S DOING IT!

HE'S ALMOST DONE!

HE'S THERE!

I'VE NOW GOT ONE GINORMOUS BIRD!

Sorry about that. I've been playing Pokemon. Mr Duckles is one of my Pokemon. He is single-wingedly more awesome than almost every one of you. :P

Now. On with the post! xD

Today, was a good day I think. I started off normally enough, with the picking up and Bre and such. Then we went to school, where I had Nutrition first (I made Ice Cream, which I gave to Bre) and then double Math (Where I finished my book) followed by Art and then History (Where I played Pokemon with Sandra!). It was a good day.

I seriously hope you people don't believe I really don't do ANYTHING in school. I do do work. I just prefer not to talk about how I'm doing review Trig in math, or doing multiple choice in History.

After school, Bre and I picked up Sandra and picked up her brother a few things. He was hurt yesterday and I send my condolences to him and his concerned ones! Then Bre and I went to the Co Op where she picked out some stuff to make a cake for her dad. Then we dropped into the greenhouse where I'll be restarting work next week. I've got this weekend to finish everything off before I start.

Then this evening I was at the Theatre with the children's Dance group again, and our show went off almost perfectly. The two little girls we were acting with were a little hasty and premature with a few lines, but that's understandable, they're only just starting. Actually, for their age, they're doing remarkably well. In fact, they're better than quite a few of the improv actors I've met. :P

Still, I'd like to work with them some more and see if I can get some new ideas across.

Now, this evening I spent playing pokemon and reading up on my Math Placement Test. I think I'll head on to bed now though... Good night everybody!
-Waldon

There is a story behind the whole "sugar booger" thing. I don't actually call Junior that. That would just be gross.

So! The other day, I was hanging out upstairs with Mom, Brooke, and Bryton. I had the idea to change Junior's name in my contacts to a ridiculous pet name. First, I changed it to "baby cakes." Then Mom had the idea to change it to "sugar booger." We did a quick poll and "sugar booger" won by a landslide. We all voted for it. Now everytime Junior texts me, my phone shows "SUGAR BOOGER text message." I love it. Junior doesn't seem to mind so it'll stay that way for a while.

I'm really sorry, but I've had a down day today. This isn't going to be too long. 
 
I woke up really early and got ready for school. I didn't go to the airport to see Junior off because I would have cried (don't judge me!). Lisa brought me to school. School was really meh today. Nothing happened. I missed Junior. After school I was in so much pain that I couldn't stay in to tutor, so Nan picked me up. I chilled out with Nan and Pop until Nan brought me to Mathletes at around 7. I was late but nobody minded. Ms. Giles gave me a hug and said that everyone was worried about me because I was really upset today. Nan picked me up after Math and brought me home. I chilled out for a while, text Junior and stuff. I registered for the Math Placement Test (I need to remind Junior about that... I don't know if he's done it yet) and now I'm writing this.

WOOT! Crappy paragraph. I pwn.

And now I'm going to bed. Sorry for the disappointing post! If I'm feeling better tomorrow, I'll write a half decent one. Oh yeah, I'm leaving on Friday, so (AGAIN) there won't be any posts for a while. Junior and I both get back on Sunday. Okay, good night!

- Bre :)
