Oh Joy and Elation!!! .............. << previous // next >>

Wednesday December 13th, 2000. - 3:00 PM

Well...everywhere you look is white. Some of it is eventually turning to slush. There are people shoveling snow, walking in the snow, playing in the snow, ... everything...in the snow. We got a snowstorm here two days ago. It wasn't the worst snowstorm that we've ever had. If anything, it was a "mild" one. We got around 14 inches of snow in a couple of hours. Anyway, at school, some people didn't show up. I think it's a bit ridiculous. I mean, we've had worse before and people made it. Oh well...It just goes to show you just how determined some people are. I can understand if you live really far from the school, but when you're just a few blocks away, shouldn't you make the effort?

Anyway, I went to school yesterday because we were supposed to have a Chapter 8 test in my Finite Mathematics class. I know, it probably sounds nerdish, but I don't care. I was prepared for that test and I wanted it done and over with, so I went to class. When I got there, about half of the class was there, so the teacher decided to postpone the test to the following day (which is actually, today). I didn't really study extra. This chapter is on matrices and it isn't really a difficult topic to grasp. I just skimmed through the homework, but I didn't do too much more studying than that. It is one of those subjects that you either know, or you don't know. It's plain, cut and served just like that. So, I think that I aced that test. I finished it really fast, but then I double checked all my calculations and the form of all the questions. I can't wait to get the results for that test.

Right now, I'm downloading the song "That's What Friends Are For" by Dionne Warwick on Napster. I heard it playing on the radio when I was going to sleep last night and it reminded me of how much I love it. That song is old, but every single time I hear it, it reminds me of when I was little. I cannot explain it, but that song makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. (Yeah, cheesy expression, but I don't know how else to explain it).

Guess what? Yesterday at school, it was a Dress Down Day. It's a day when we all strip down and get naked. Haha....no....I'm just kidding. ((OBVIOUSLY!)) I go to a Catholic high school, so we have to wear uniforms. On Dress Down Days, we are allowed to wear our "own clothes" (that is, casual, non-uniform clothing) Guess what? I FORGOT!!!! So, there I was, wearing the school uniform when most people were wearing casual stuff! *blush* Haha...well...there were a few other people who also forgot, so it was no big deal. I think that in OAC, things slide past more easily without anyone blinking an eye. Anyway, I did feel a little foolish...., but I just joked that I was showing school spirit. (hahahahahahaha...yeah right!) I was daring to be different. You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same. Haha...I had to try to get myself to feel better and that did a bit of the trick. *Smile*

I'm just going to leave a very brief thought here, because I don't know who exactly reads my online diary and I don't really want to get into details on the Internet. Anyway, I'm going to break it off with my boyfriend, most likely. We've been drifting and I think it's time to move on. I think that our friendship was more fulfilling and it's best that we leave it as that. (Okay, enough about that. I said it would be brief......)

Today was a glorious day!!!!!!!!!! I feel so happy and sunny and cheerful and hyper and giddy and glad and ecstatic and energetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful WONDERFUL day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything went so great today. It was the perfect day. Lately, I've been in a sad slump, but today, I feel GREAT GREAT GREATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! Hehe....Outside, it is cold and BRRRRRR.......but I'm okay.

You know what the most beautiful thing is? Walking through freshly-fallen snow. It's calm and quiet...full of solitude. The snowflakes are falling down lightly and they make the ground sparkle and look magical, in a way. Even though your fingers may be numb inside your gloves, you are still admiring the beauty of Mother Nature. It's so beautiful outside. It's like a Winter Wonderland - a magical winter dream....I think that days where it snows long and peacefully, are really romantic. The atmosphere just makes it so special. (Of course, then reality kicks in and you realize that it has snowed so much that your driveway needs to be shovelled. *smirk*) Haha...still...nature is beautiful.

More good news: Tomorrow, is a late start at school. I only have to be there for 10:00 AM. YAY!!!! This means more rest for me. I think that I might actually go to bed early tonight. I haven't been getting too much rest lately, and I'm sure it would do me a lot of good. PLUS, then, maybe I won't turn into a toad...haha......

Well...I'm going to go now and eat some chicken. Mmmmmm....Take care. SPREAD THE SUNSHINE and MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT!!!!!!! *muahhhhhhhhhh*
