Sloppy Joes

Ok, we've all been extremely busy this past week or so, and as a result we haven't been updating as much as we would like to. But I promise as soon as all this Grad stuff is over we will be right back on track, and with alot to tell. Here's to the summer of '06!

Wonderful Hali Prom

It was a long time coming, but I finally made it down to Halifax for the Prom at Ecole D'Carrefour - and I'm certainly glad that I did. Aside from having amazing food, drink, and dance, I was able to spend time with Kat, who I don't often get to see.

We drove down to Halifax on Friday, and I quickly changed into my tuxedo because the limo was supposed to arrive at any minute. It showed up around 3:30, and when we got inside Chantal & her boyfriend Zach (who had an amazing lime green tuxedo) were already there, as well as Nick & Roxanne. We drove around for quite a while as nobody knew where the fourth couple (Varick & his boyfriend Ben) lived. After passing their house and spending like half an hour driving out into Halifax's version of the boonies, we turned around and picked them up. The driver was a very surly man who kept insisting that 570 Cow Bay Rd. doesn't exist, when it clearly did. Oh, we also had non-alcoholic coolers as the limo had a no-alcohol rule (and since they have safe-grad after prom it probably would've been a bad idea).

So eventually we show up at the Public Gardens - late of course after our extended detour - and got a bunch of pictures. It felt weird getting into pictures of the school group, because I don't legitimate go there, but oh well. A bunch of us ran to McDonalds to pee, that was kinda sweet, and everyone stared at us in our finery.

After this we get back into the limo and head to the hotel - which was very, very nice. We line up, do the "grand march" (in which everyone and their date is announced) and ate in the ballroom. The food was rediculously good, they had all kinds of stuff and it was a great meal. I finished it off with Chocolate cheesecake that is pretty much my new favourite food ever. After food we just talked and walked around, and then the dance started at around 9:00. It was a lot of fun, but I just have to say that many of these white french dudes have very little rythm and it was comedic gold to watch.

At midnight we left and went down to the docks, boared a tall ship (I think it was called the Silva?) and sailed up and down Halifax harbour. It wasn't a clear night, and it was quite foggy, but this made the city lights look beautiful and bestowed everything with a very haunting beauty. Plus it was fun dancing on the boat and sailing under the bridge - which for some reason had a bunch of cop cars on top and their light flashed across the sky.

After the cruise, we went back to the school - they had this awards show in French so I didn't understand, but it was evident that these grads are tight and really know each other well. I guess it happens when you go through 13 years of school with the same 44 people. They then signed yearbooks and watched this picture movie of their highschool days (which was boring for me but I could definitely understand why they enjoyed it). We capped it all off with a really great breakfast of fresh fruit, muffins bagels and donuts and then I finally went home to bed, which was circa 7:30. This means I only got a few hours of sleep before Carly's - and thanks to everyone deciding to wake up at 8 and start yelling, I didn't sleep well their either.

Oh, and I'm probably going to do an edit later for spelling - I apologize for sounding like an idiot as well, but I am very tired and need to sleeeeeep.

Good Night, Bad Morning

Well, this night proved to be a...Yeah, there's no one word that can be used to describe this. The question is where to start?
Kylie has just come back from a 2-month hiatus from drinking, and I've been out of the drinking game since Feb or farther back to New Year's.

The night started out with alot of confusion of where to go, who's going where, and what's going on. After all the manuvering of people and cars, we were on the fast lane (except for that fucking slow ass car that was in front of us half way there) to Carly's Camp.

Once there, we got our sleeping arrangments and it's time to crack open the liqour =D
Here's the liqour list
Dan + Kylie -> 24 Coors (Dan = 7 beers, Kylie = 9 beers)
Woody -> Gin and mix
Carly -> Mike's Hard Crisp Apple (x4)
Matt -> (The neck) of Captain Dark
Vince -> Pint of Crown Royal
Jessica -> Bottle of Wine
Alex -> H2O
Lepper -> Captain + Five Alive

Well this led to a very very long game of Thumbmaster, which pretty much led everyone to their doom of drunkeness. We played some other card games, but then the raging party decided to slope down a rocky hill.

Basically it was just a complete puke fest and trying to take care of the sick. Actually it wasn't really a fest, more like just Vince not knowing what's going on. Jessica emptied her stomache, but she sobered up quick. The sober and drunk people still somewhat in the right state of mind, helped out to make sure everyone was alright. Somehow, at that camp, I always end up touching vomit with one of my limbs. This time...yeah, bare foot. I'm sure you can understand what it may feel like if u were to warm up some taco dip and step in it.

After everyone passed out for the night, the morning decided it wanted to slap me in the face with a headache and tiredness (which is better then puking in the morning) but yet everyone else seemed to be fine. I tried to sleep as much as a could, because the light really effected my headache, but unfortunatly we had to leave, and I had to move. w00t. We were back on the road and then to McDonalds to get some food in our system. Carly bought me two #1's on the breakfast menu. We ate and split our ways.

Now I'm writing this story to you to enjoy...now if you excuse me, I must go to the school for prom stuff, then the grad church service, then Jessica's for another party =D

Here's to a busy week everyone
*Cheers*

(Definitely) Got the job.

I just got a phone call from Heather M, Co-ordinator of Active Lifestyles Programs for the Abilities Foundation of Nova Scotia, and she told me that I got the camp counselor position at Camp Tidnish, which is a camp for physically and mentally challenged children and adults. (Tom, the best thing to do would be to call her yourself - talk to me for the number). She said there were a couple forms to fill out and I'm assuming that means she will mail them to me? It's all good.

I am looking forward to having a new, fun job and escaping the hell that is Shell Canada. Maybe I'll even have a great experience along the way.

Other than that, I only have two exams left - Calculus and English Provincial are done ("DOUBLE KILL"), Global Geography ("TRIPLE KILL") and Physics Provincial ("SUICIDE") are remaining. I at least get to write Global Geograpy in the learning center so that should be fun!

After my physics exam I have an interview with the paper, and then get to pick up my tux, because I'm going to go down to Halifax on Friday for the Prom at Ecole d'Carrefour. Should be a good time, and Jesse is going to come down with me so that he can meet up with his harem. First this prom, then ours next Tuesday - I cannot believe that I graduate in a week and a day!

The picture? Just a hint of what went down this weekend - waiting for Jesse to produce a full update.

So how about them exams?

Well kids, we're down to the end here. It's almost game over man, if you will. Everyone has exams this week, except me, which is always a plus, but the abuse I suffer isn't a plus. Good luck this week children, if it makes you feel better I get to sleep in all week. So anyway, Red ordered my laptop tongiht and it should be here within a week or two. Very clutch indeed. The final FYGA is tomorrow night which makes me extremely upset and depressed. I have nothing to bring to the potluck either so hopefully I'll figure that one out. Anyway, peace out and all that good stuff.

(Tentatively) Got the job.

Today, Jessica P. and I went out to Camp Tidnish for an interview - and it went fairly well. I don't know if I've ever had a cheering section of 40 people at any other interview I've been to. I'm pretty sure we got the job - the director, Heather M., told us that she liked us and we were welcome to join the staff but that she needed to do some background checks before she made it official.

Last night Tom and I went out to Jessica P.'s and sorta kinda had a bonfire, which basically consisted of people throwing chairs and spraying Raid onto the fire. The upside to this party was that there was an abundance of sweet food to be had.

Oh, and it turns out that the iPod I got from Acadia was a nano, so that's pretty sweet.

This last week of school has bascially been optional - I only went to one class on Tuesday, and that was the one where my class went to the dance recital. If that doesn't say "overachiever" than I don't know what does.

Til' next time.

And of course, Monday is the last day of highschool. I think that's insane.

Sandy....RIP

Well buds as you probably have already heard Sandy had to be put down, now to some it's probably no big deal but it is to me becuase she was a part of my life for 16 years! Now I am going to tell you the story of Sandy's bad day. This morning I was awakened by P lep saying Sandy is down, immediately i ran out of bed downstairs thinking she was dead. But to find she had just colapsed because of a stroke. After the stroke she couldn't walk the same all morning, watching her suffer like that was the worse thing I have ever done to myself, enough torture for me to say "ok this can't go on we have to put her down." Which let me be the one to say "it isn't an easy thing to say." At first I said I wasn't going to go to the vet because I didn't want to see her go but at 11 am I decided I midas-well be with her until the end and joined her at the vet. She was uncomfortable, but in seconds she was ok and gone to a better place (very sad)! After school Dan, Vince, and I dug a hole knee deep (by the way thanks dan and vince it means alot to me) in the backyard and gave her a proper funeral and said good-bye to my best bud Sandy.
On a happier note, I set the date for my last day of working at Price Chopper August 26th!! Talked to my dickhead boss and worked out me staying there for 16 hours each week!

Few Updates...If You Wanna Call It That...

Hey brothers & sisters,

So not much news has happened to me over the few days, but this week I've pretty well completely checked out of school. Yearbooks are looking great, but the signatures and memories from past times are never ending lol (as you can see, Lepper is "calmly" demonstrating how to write in a yearbook)

Umm... I got the Job at Wal-mart, and my first shift starts at 4:30pm today. So I won't be able to make the Awards Night tonight =(
I had an interview with the people from the Bacon-Elliott Bursary, I think it went alright, but we'll soon see come Graduation. There's two of them given out, and 5 of us had an interview, so 40% chance isn't too bad.

Good Show!

Well, it's finally over, and unfortunately, we didn't win. But congrats to Ernie, I'm sure that he'll do a great job as minis- oh... oh wait, no. We're deep in the heart of Conservative country, and all you can do is try! I guess one positive thing is that Dad did better than the other Liberals that have tried, even though provincially the Liberals have been getting a shit-kicking from the media.

After I dropped Daniel-san off and drove home... I saw like... a bomb being thrown? I'm not entirely sure what it was, someone threw this weird thing and I saw it trail and land in greco's parking lot, and it was on fire and the gas coming out of it stunk really bad and was filling up the whole area. So uh, chemical warfare anyone?

Oh, and I got a fish! I used to be obsessed with them, but I gave them all away. Now I have just a singular betta, and I'm not sure what to name it.

Today I basically went to school, and the only thing I actually went to was the Dance Recital - it was a good time haha.

Other than this, I have absolutely nothing to say, so peace out.

Is fucking summer here yet?

So, this weekend as most of you know, I went to Ottawa for a family get together...What sweet ass fun that was, NOT. We left at around...mmm 3:45 monday, after I tried to stay up all night the previous night. I made it halfway through Conan, so It lasted until about 2 oclock. I only did this so that I could get a good sleep in the car... Well that didn't work for some reason. I just layed there completely conscious the entire time with my headphones on for about 13-14 hours of non stop driving through a god damn monsoon. We had to take Jenn's (Sister with new baby) Mom back to Ottawa with us too...Yeah. Thank god for Duracell.

So we get to my Aunts pretty early, around 5 oclock there time. She was pumped as usual. I met up with her, my uncle, my grandparents and cousins. And of course Willie, the dog. Willie also developed some nasty ass cancer and has a large tumor on his side, which was sad. But he's still the exact same dog. It just looks like he's gunna split into 2 Willies. So we just...did nothing for a while, I even went to try and sleep in a bed, and no such luck. My sleeper must've been broken. We had some supper, I played poker with the cousins for a while, then at 10 oclock I finally went to bed again, and didn't wake up until 1 oclock the next day. That's a personal record.

Then the party started at 2 oclock and ran until about 8. 30+ bottles of Wine and a Keg were all open for grabs. And yes, I indulged. Not much though. And god dammit it's disgusting! Wine does not taste like grapes at all, contrary to....my belief. My cousin also rolfed over everything by the end of the night. The party was super boring for me, just a bunch of relatives Ive never seen before talking in Dutch...yay. My cousins had all their friends over, but it just made me miss home even more, listening to them all enjoy their own inside jokes. Missed my buds.

So we had a big ass poker tournament next, and Im happy to say I had a comfortable 2nd place, and I got beat by the biggest shit show ever. I went all in blind, and he said he would call me anyways (he had about 30 times what I had). I get 2, 3 unsuited, he gets A, K unsuited. off the flop, K, K, A...as if that wasnt bad enough. Turn, 4...and then bam, the River is another A. What a prick job. Bed time for me.

Next day, Mom and I took Oma and Opa to the airport. Mom spent an extra 20 minutes finding a parking spot because apparently they can't handle going in alone. I took them in to their checkout and the person there was really friendly, even offered them a drive around the terminal. Finally mom shows up, we buy some Harveys, then head out to go visit moms french friend Silvie.

We get there, and I manage to connect to the "Internets" for a bit. Then her 2 little kids come home and start asking me all these french questions. And I was all...WUH? But then BAM out of no where they start talking in English. These 2 very small children were completely bilingual. Crazyness. Anyways, we stay overnight there and then back in the car for another whole god damn day.

This ride seemed so, so much longer. And that's bad considering the first ride was long enough. It wasn't raining, but it wasn't sunny either. Bleh, after 13 hours of trying to keep Mom awake, we finally get home. Hooray? no...

I was set behind the whole weekend on my whole working out routine I made up, so naturally I want to catch up. I bust out the dance pad and UH OH. HUGE sudden pain in my leg, and I go down. I'm screaming WTF and then Stan comes in out of no where and seems to know what he's talking about. He says I've got a leg splint and some shit about tendons. So he wraps me up and I hobble into my comp chair, atleast I can still do THAT to entertain myself...OH WAIT.

Nothing but crap on the internet too, and I lost a whole bunch of files that just mysteriously dissapeared (Hmm). So a few terrible/awkward conversations later, It's bedtime. Although the conversation I had with Brent was pretty interesting. If I knew how to post pictures on this thing, I would show them all the greatness, Brent.

And now here I am, NOT in school, ranting about my terrible weekend. I pray to the GODS of jelly that this week gets better, and fast.

Drawing to a Close

Yep, tomorrow begins the last week of school. This means I should probably be studying - but when have I ever done that.

We wrapped up some band stuff this weekend, by playing at the Parish Festival and at the Teacher's retirement banquet. It was such a crazy rush to see all of your old teachers screaming and dancing around the tables, they absolutely loved it and it is something that's going to stick with me for a long time. I think that congratulations are in order. Also, we played at Trinity St. Stephens this morning - which is always a great show, the church really works to improve our sound.

What else... Friday night we got together and played poker, and signed yearbooks, which was pretty tough. We went down to the "Relay For Life" and did a couple laps and visited the luminaries that were set up for Daniel's mother, which was tough as well.

Other than that, nothing major to report for this weekend, things are simply "drawing to a close", and I'm here to witness it and report it every step of the way. The countdown to graduation is on, with 18 days left.

Oh, one more thing - I won an iPod from Acadia! I'm not entirely sure how, but I guess I must have been entered in some draw, and they are supposed to be mailing it soon. I don't know what type it is either, could be a shuffle, nano, or regular iPod I'm assuming - so more on this as it develops.

Till next time.

Walmart Employee?

Hey Everyone,
I didn't want to push Alex's news down the page, but too bad for him.
The new yearbook looks amazing, hats off to Alex and Mal for the great work!
Too bad we couldn't do the grade write ups again, because I noticed I left out Carly and alot more stuff has been done since I wrote those...the note I wrote to Jesse, what was that about? lol, but still the grad writeups really showed me that we're graduating...and there's only a week (+1) left of classes...and lots of stuff with Graduation coming up.

Any-hoo, to the title.. I've got another interview at Walmart today with the manager(s) at 3:30. I'm not sure whats going down this afternoon, because when I was at the first job interview, they said they'll do a background check and they would give me a call by next week.
(and yeah..its only been two days, better then Pricechopper lol)
And they said if they call me, they'll set up an interview with the manager(s) where they'll give me a job offer. Let the countdown begin (T-60 Minutes)

Yearbook/Stage Band/Swimsuit Model????

Well, here is the Yearbook..... cover. They should be on sale tomorrow, but if you haven't bought one yet then you might have to wait until Monday. (Side note: sorry about the image quality - if you'd like, you can buy me a better webcam). One of our committee members was so kind to lose grad-write ups, and this definitely screwed some things, but I think everything should be sorted out, and to these two people - sorry! But everything is good now.

Man, it took a long, long time to do this book. I hope everyone enjoys it, and if you don't - well, I guess you should've made it yourself, you lazy ass. You just got yearbOWNEDk.

Other than that, our Stage Band final concert was tonight, and of course was hot as ever. Solo went okay, everyone did really well - and busting out the oversized hats and sunglasses (funny, because they're bigger than normal!) was of course sweet. Ms. Taylor's outfit during "Funkytown" was... well, I guess the appropriate word would be funky. Congrats to Hillary A. and Scott N. for the awards! We still have a few more concerts coming up, we are playing at the Parish Fesitval this Saturday, at Trinity St. Stephens Church during their Sunday morning service, and at another top secret locale.

Oh, one more thing - FYGA has decided to do a swimsuit fashion show, hosted by Amy P. - and some of us are going to be wearing decidedly revealing clothing. Monday at 8:00. Yep.

That's all for now, I guess.

Job Scare

A week ago I found out that like myself 31 people had applied for the Park program Job, this scared me to death. This is the Job that would save me from Price Chopper and make it so I can make a good amount of money this summer. After the interview I felt ok it was a solid interview with Dewhite. Six days later I find out I am one of the top four people along with three girls who are just as fit for the job as I am (Jenna, Maura, and Julie)!! Four people left and three positions, Maura was granted the tennis instructor and that means between the three of us there is just two parks available. Let me tell you I was scared of Baers. But no worries I wont be stuck not getting paid enough from Price CHopper I just got off the phone with D-white an dhe offered me the job (of course I accepted) and i start training this thursday! Thank to all of you for trying to calm me down when I talked to you frantically about this for the past week!! My appologies go out to Julie who was the one out of the four of us who got cut, she was bummed out but she'll get another job for sure!
.......thanks again buds...I am now pumped for the summer!

fyga

dan's piczo thing is probably going to be out of control. he does that to things, artistically and such

white point july 4-6, thats going to be awesome. it was such a good time last year, and frankly i like this year's crop of people better than last year so i'm obviously looking forward to it. the only thing is, its going to be the very last youth group experience i'll ever have. by that point regular youth group meetings will be over and thats all i'll have left to cling to. three years have gone so fast, and its been an unbelievable three years. i'm so grateful for everything youth group has made possible for me and i'm already dreading the end.

Mono-tone Blues

So the hospital was an adventure. After 6 days they finally let me out, which is a real shame. I honestly felt a lot better when I was in there then when I got home. They definitely let me out way to soon. I miss my precious pain killers. But the hospital at night, is the worst place ever. It's very errie. The hall lights are left on, and theres no noise except the occasional nurse and the IV machine. Time seems to slow to a crawl and it felt like I was awake for hours at a time. But mono has its upsides I guess, so I'm definitely exempt from all school work and exams from now til the end of the year, which is a huge bonus. But still, my spleen is apprently very tender, so any hard physical activitity could rupture it, which is a shame, because I'm so physically active. Anyway, Mono is extremely tiring, not to mention painful. But anyway, only 90 days left til we leave for university, and thats pretty neat. Oh well, I'm out.

I didn't get my Band Teacher a quart of vodka..? I did.

Tonight was fricken' awesome.

We had our final band concerts - which went great. I'll try not to get too braggy, but our band is just so god damn good it's hard not too. Out of the 72 concert bands that competed at the Atlantic Band Fest, we won the award for Most Outstanding. Pumped. Ms. Taylor also won an excellence in teaching award, and I'm really not sure if anyone deserves it more than her.

The afternoon concert was good, (and so was the food at bigstop in between) but the evening concert went better in my opinion. We all lined up on stage, and then got pinned with corsages (sp?) and recieved photos. This part is kind of a blur, because everything is just lights, cameras, and action. We also gave Ms. Taylor her present, which consisted of a quart of Vodka in a trumpet shaped bottle. I hope she enjoys it!

I won a couple of awards, and I'm really not sure what the first was, because everything was a blur and it was like two sentences long. The second was the Fred Gray Memorial Award, which the band votes on. This year it was a tie between myself and Leslie M., so we both got one and that was nice.

We still have the Stage Band Concert coming up on Thursday at 7:00. It'll be worth it if you go.

So that's everything that's ever happend in my life up to this point. Enjoy!

P.S. Here is a pic of Brent and I, clearly lovin' it, nerdy as ever in our band uniforms.

Local Hero

No, this man doesn't save cats from trees...nor does he stop criminals from stealing. In fact, he does a complete 'U-Turn' on that second statment. This man steals from the rich and shares the wealth with the poor.
I'm talking about our one and own Brent Perry!

Picture this:
Big corporation buys product, only to have expired stuff at the end of the day...just waiting to be thrown out.
One faithful day Brent and I (oh yes..correct english) are walking in Walmart looking at stuff. He says he has to check his schedual. He goes out back and comes out all jittery. Of course I'm confused as hell because he's like
"Guess what I just saw!"
and I'm thinking
"If it's not two hot chicks doing something together, then I'm sure it's not worth hearing."
So I just look at him and shrug with the response of
"I don't know, what?"
Brent looks at me and says
"There is an enitre cart full of expired Red Bull just sitting there."
I look at him like something just slapped me in the face.
"No Way..." I reply

What happens next? Well he goes out back and opens up a box of bags, fills two bags with 8 cans and we walk out of the store like we just recieved the greatest christmas present ever.

Yesterday, Brent had to go to work. I tells him that if there's any Red Bull left, to fill an entire bookbag full and bring it home. He was very doubtful that it would still be there, seeing how the walmart bastards throw it all the stuff out at night.

I give Brent a call after he gets home...and to everyones surprise, he stole 23 Red Bull.

This Man...Is God

The Business Hall of Fame

So yesterday was the day of Me and Lepper's big important business conference in the World Trade Convention Center in Halifax. We were specially invited by JA to attend the Business Hall of Fame dinner. But to us, it only meant seeing our JAAC friends another time. Mom took us down after all of us cut work/school early. We got to Bedford to pick up Shannon so that Mom didn't get bored out of her skull waiting for us, and then we went straight to the WTCC. Lepper immediatly went to see his sister Mel just to show her his suit and what not. I made my way into the center completely lost when I noticed Shelbie through the window, and then saw Kara, Lucas and Grace. We went outside, embraced, then wandered around trying to figure out where to go. Brenda who runs JA Nova Scotia pointed us in the right direction where we found our nametags along with our table # and sponsor.

A few minutes past and we saw Natalie practicing her stuff with Daniel, the other MC (God I hate that kid, he's also burried deep in the closet). Lep shows up eventually, and we search through the nametags furiously to see if Karly's is there, and it wasn't! Finally half of the Sackville girls show up late, Kristie Lyndsay and Sarah F. We do our hellos, and the valley people haven't seen them in a long time, so they were pretty excited. After we get a speech from the new JA prez, we wander down into the dining room to find our tables, and mine is in the furthest corner possible from the stage. That didn't matter much though because of the crazy set up they had. 4 massive Hi-def TV's, and 6 huge projection screens. It was "High Class" to the max. We go back and do our little mingle thing which none of us took part in, but first we meet up with Myra and Sarah S, who we thought flew in a ditch or something.

And oh sweet jesus, Leeta arrived. We were dodging her all night (Shes large, annoying, and apparently obsessed with Lucas). In Dane's language, she is both a "Brian" and a "Karen". She's like if Brian and Karen had a big kid. So we mingled, took some photos, then we got sent upstairs where we had to make a road block type thing as hundreds and hundreds of executives and CEOs went and found their tables. Took a few more pics, chatted it up with Brenda and some other peeps, then we went into dinner. Which was looooooooong, but still nice. Like I said, I was in the furthest possible seat from all the action. Natalie did an awesome job MCing the event as usual, and Daniel....didn't. I really want to punch that kid, but oh well, it was still good. We saw some really pathetic attempt at a play from the early....times. Not really sure what time frame it was in, but it was bad. Then some guys did their little thank you speech after they were inducted into the Hall of Fame. One guy looked like Dana Carvey and Bob Saget mixed together. AND, I sat with a guy who looked EXACTLY like Buster from AD, Tony Hale. It was intense. The dinner ended, blah blah we shook hands with our sponsors and then we headed outside.

It was good bye time for everyone. We finally got a picture of all the JAAC originals. Me, Lepper, Natalie, Lyndsay, Myra, Sarah S, Sarah F, Kristie, Grace, Kara, Lucas, Shelbie, and Scott. We all did our shugs and hugs, and then we were off...

I miss all you guys, and we have to plan to meet up yet again. Every time we do its always a ton of fun. I'll throw up some pics on the pic site.

And thats my first REAL entry to our ADB site. Enjoy.

Piczo Website Under Construction

I'm working hard on the new website, I've got alot of ideas lol, but it's gonna take alot of work...cuz well..my HTML and Photoshop skills only take me so far. Have a look, hopefully you like, and within time it'll be up and running


Adot Brothers Website

Bad day ended well

Ok so, this was easily a crappy day...mostly because I got dicked over with a physics test, surprise calc quiz, and 6 1/2 hours of work to top it off...plus my step-grandfather drove me home from school, so I had a bit of a near-death experience. But worked turned out being okay, mostly because I managed to swipe four tubes of Pillsbury cinnamon buns, and they weren't even expired or anything! When I got home, there was a message from SMU on the phone...turns out I've been upgraded from the residence wait list and I'm being offered a room, and they're going to email me the offer...which I didn't get yet, but I'm sure everybody I know is rooting for me getting a Loyola single.

Yearbooks!

So.

The end of the year is upon us, and so are yearbooks!

"I am very pleased to let you know that the yearbooks are scheduled to ship today (earlier than anticipated) and are tentatively scheduled to be delivered next Wednesday or Thursday."

Clearly, Alex = pumped. To those who haven't yet bought a yearbook, we may have another sale (depending on how eager Mallory and I are - forcast calls for "very") or you can probably buy some of our limited extra copies.

It will feel so good to finally finish up everything associated with Yearbook Editor... I wonder who is gonna take this on next year?

Pics Now

Since we can't exactly visually aid those who read this blog on this site, we've added a link to another site of ours which will allow us to post pictures and such to go along with our Blog. It's under heavy contstruction right now, but it will be up and running in no time I'm sure.
