In the Beginning

Interns starts tomorrow. For anyone morbidly curious enough to wonder what Interns is, it's a nine month long discipleship program for eighteen to thirty year olds. There's classes three days a week, conferences and the works. I don't know much about it seeing as I've never done it. However tomorrow we are going to a cabin until Friday to get to know each other. To be honest I'm not as excited as I keep telling people I am. While yes it is something new, it's not new to be doing something new so it's not exciting. It's just like starting another year of school and a new school. I've been to eleven schools, so this is nothing new. However I'm sure most of the people in Interns have been to three or four schools, five if they really have moved around, and one hasn't been in school since first grade, so this is a 'new and exciting' thing. For me it's just 'meh, it's new. Big deal.' And also as shallow as this sounds, I'm scared I'm not going to fit in. That the other girls are going to instantly mesh, and I'm going to be on the outside looking in, and that if they do try to include me, that it'll be out of pity for the 'washed out little kid' then them actually wanting to get to know me.

Anyway, I'll try and let you's know how it goes as the year progresses. And on Saturday after I get back. I'll try, no absolute promises though.
Sorry about the dely'd update.

10 minute post

Alright I only have ten minutes to type. Less than that really since I have to be somewhere at 2:30 and it's now 2:19. Granted, it only takes two minutes to get there, but that's besides the point. Anyway, I am really sorry about not posting in, well, forever but every time I went to blog I realized I had nothing to blog about, or I hadn't finished processing it yet myself so I couldn't post it, and than just forgot about it. But now, now I have stuff to post about. I just may not get through it all right now.
First it's April, which means this month and next month are our last two full months of school, and then only a half a month. Because exams take two weeks, although I only have an English exam to take. In some ways that is really exciting. I always love the end of school when it warms up (this year has missed that memo though) and you can wear shorts and tank tops again, it just feels like summer. I love that feeling. However on the other hand its really scary because it is our last time of reaching the end of a school year, and this time there is a Grad ceremony to add to it, something that hasn't been in our other years of schooling. And next year we aren't coming back. It's really really scary when you think about it.

I'm hoping to be accepted into the InterMenno program next year. It's an exchange program where you go live in Germany, Switzerland, or the Netherlands for a year and work there, learning their language and culter and such. However they have sent out the letters/e-mails to everyone else, and I seem to be the only one who hasn't gotten any. If I don't get accepted I'm planning on going to UFV (University of the Fraiser Valley) next year and get my BA in English, as well as work full time and take dance class. Ballet and Jazz once again.

Alright I decided I might make this a longer than ten minute post, mainly because I want to proof read it (my friends would be proud) and I have so much more to post that I don't want to just end it, so I will just cut it off when I have to go, save it, and then come back to it after play rehearsals (backstage crew). Or if I don't have enough time, after my small group. Which reminds me I have print off/re-type some of my poems to bring there, expessually one I wrote last week on my missions trip, which I will type about when I get back from rehearsals cause I gotta go. Be back before you finish reading this. Haha.

So, it's been about two weeks since I started this post... I was going to talk about my missions trip though, which will have to be in another post. I'm just drooping this off so that I don't forget about it, and hopefully on Sunday (it's Friday night now) I can write about my missions trip. Someone bug me about it until I post please.

'Twas the Night Before.... (what times is this now?)

ACK! I haven't posted all year....... (corny, I know)

Alright so Christmas has come and gone, New Years has come and gone, and all that's left is to go back to school (ahhh!) and go have the family Christmas get together, in January, well AFTER Christmas. But that's just because this way people could go to other family gatherings and thus creating less confusion.

Anyway, onto important stuff. For Christmas I got my dad a book called Pierced. It's really a comic book. Actually a book filled with Zit's comics, specifically the ones that have Pierce in them. I think he liked it. I got a CAMERA!!!!! It's pink, and silver. I also got a ballerina calender, a $50 gift certificate to Coles, bath stuff, a shirt, slippers (one says good morning, and the other says good night)and a fridge magnet that says "I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it" I loved what I got.

From the gift certificate I got two books and a bookmark. I still have money left on it too. The books I got were "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, and "Need" by Carrie Jones.

"The Hunger Games" has become my new favorite book. It's in the future but the most futuristic gadget in there is a hover craft, the rest of it is basically normal stuff we have, and even a little less (no cell phones, or IPods, that kind of thing), and North America has been reduced to one country called Panem, which is one city called Capitol (ironically, it's the the capitol of Panem) that is surrounded by twelve districts, every year one teenaged girl, and one teenaged guy is forced to go to the capital to participate in the hunger games, a televised fight to the death. It's mandatory to watch. The winner is the last person left alive.

"Need" is basically "Twilight" without the vampires, and all the drama, but with Pixie's and other were-animals besides werewolves. It was good.

Today we went skating. I spent half of it with one of those things that help you skate. For the record yes I can skate, however the kid I was babysitting can't. So she was with the skate-help, and she still wouldn't skate, so I pushed her around for about half the time. For the rest of it, my dad pushed her and I just skated around. It was so much fun. I want to go skating again soon. An odd statement I'm sure from someone who dislikes cold and such, but oh well.

Anyway I'm off. Talk to you all later.
