15's almost gone, turn it on

Hellooooo.

So yeah. Hum, don't know where to start off first!

I lost my wallet last Thursday, except I didn't find out until Friday.... I've looked absolutely everywhere. I'm kind of grounded because of this, but my parents have been surprisingly kind about the whole thing, so I can't really push my luck and keep on asking to go out like usual, so right now my activities are on temporary hold :( Which means no Fright Night, no party, just my actual Halloween plans. But I guess that's okay. I don't have to spend money on my Fright Night ticket 'cause I should save, and there will be other parties :'( But at least I still have Halloween Day. *Think positive!*

So all my advertisements for the Halloween Dance on my last post are useless. I never mentioned that the Admin at the school didn't approve the date because 1) we wouldn't have the necessary security available that day such as our lady constable who is for some reason always present around the school grounds but can't stay late on a freaking Thursday night! And 2) We don't have enough teacher supervision available for that night. The date they HAVE approved however, with the necessary security and supervision, is Nov. 5th. But really.... who wants to have a Halloween Dance AFTER Halloween? That's lame. BUT. Us Grads came up with a whole new, better, and way more fun Dance, with its own crazier theme!

STUDENTS OF GUILDFORD PARK, GRAD COUNCIL PRESENTS TO YOU: GLOW!

• All grades dance on Thursday Nov. 5th, 2009
• Starts 6:30 - 9:00pm
• Tickets are 8 dollars at the Sabres Den at Lunch
• All school rules in effect
• WEAR SOMETHING WHITE, 'CAUSE IT'S BLACKLIGHT BABY :)

And I promise, this one's gonna be the bomb... the Halloween Dance MAY have been iffy due to the difficulty that comes with dancing in a costume, but now this one's like, all out wear whatever you want and glow in it too ;) Woot!

Volunteered for Junior Movie night on Tuesday and it was LG and LB Mania.... I realize that they were watching a Haunting in Connecticut and I was screaming pretty loud myself but dude, you could just tell, some of them were just freaking out for the attention. Dear LGs and LBs.... please grow up. You annoy me. HOWEVER. Thanks for coming and supporting your GP Grads 'cause we raised 350 easy buckaroos! You kiddos rock.

And I gotta say we're not doing horribly for raising funds.... only 9 kids haven't returned their chocolate money out of maybe 30 kids who took them? And we've sold a lot of Canuck raffle tickets, and we're doing pretty good at the Sabres Den with selling these LOW FAT ICE CREAM BARS and popcorn... but yeah. I really hope it keeps on coming 'cause jeez, we need that money and I have no shame in hustling, HAHA.

Homework is as follows (though I've finished all of my Law and Lit):

ENG H

• "The Crucible" Pre-write
• "The Crucible" Essay (long ass and difficult topic on conscience. It's like... ugh. Whatever.)
• Final Response Journal (finished this in spare!)

LAW

• p. 135 #1-3 (finished it during class discussion 'cause I was hella bored and not paying attention)

LIT

• Act II Scene i paraphrase (done in class)
• Read Act II Scene ii (done in class)

So really..... all I have is English homework :) Which is also the hardest homework of aaaaaaaaall. Not to mention that after that I've got this annoyingly large research project coming up next and out of all the topics we can research, I've got about zero knowledge on all of them. Sooo.... woot.

Too lazy to write more, well, actually, I would go on for a while but I don't want this to be uber long. I'm just gonna go!

Seeyou later whoever!

When your heart wears thin

Happy early Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope that between now and Monday, you're all enjoying yummy dinners with the people you love, and that you are, much like me everyday, thankful for everything you have (and don't have) in your life. I love my family, my friends and my God, forever and always and very thankful for their presence in my life!

So everything's definitely picking up. My school stuff, Grad stuff and extra-curriculars are making a pretty bizzzay schedule, which I'm not sure I like! There's no excuse for school, I have to make time for it, but those two other things are just hindrances to my free time! But who'm I kidding of course, I love doing volunteer work 8D

I can't wait for Halloween at all! When I went costume hunting, some perfect outfits were found for Kim, Amanjyot, Genina and I. And I can't wait to bust a move at the Halloween dance, it's been forever. Oooh, shameless advertising time!

• WHAT : Halloween Dance!
• WHEN : Thursday, Oct. 29th, 6:30 - 9:30pm

I can't even hold it in, I'm soooo excited for what's coming up. Grad wise, school wise, events wise. Shooooot this year is gonna be the bomb-diggity. Let's just pray that homework doesn't get in the way, huh? And that I don't sideline it. 'Cause God, that would mean suicide. Speaking of homework.

LIT

LAW

SPARE

• (Who ever would've thunk that I'd get hmwrk for my spare?) Ms. Neilson has made Genina the go-to Poster Girl, so she's drawing them up, and I and my fellow C Block spare classmates, are colouring and cutting out tickets/raffles, and whatever there is for Grad that we have to do!

ENG

• Response Journal for pg. 34 - end of Act 1 in "The Crucible"

Sounds like a lot, but it's actually pretty easy peasy I think, so I'm not fussing. Right now I'm watching Jurassic Park with my Mama :D So I'm gonna quit writing here and focus on the movie. Not more stuff for me to say! 'Cause even though there's plenty more I wanna be writing I just can't when I'm distracted :)

Au revoir, whoever's reading!
Lurve,
Gelina.
