As you probably figured out already, I'm home by myself on a Friday night, with nothing to do and no one to talk to. I'm a little frustrated because I was supposed to do something with someone tonight, but we just couldn't get the plans together. It's somebody that I haven't seen for the past week, won't see all of this week until Friday, and I really want to spend time with.
Life seems like it has been really busy lately, but I don't think it has been. I've just been really tired. I guess all of the sleep I've missed in the past month has finally caught up with me. Lately School has just felt like something that I've had to force myself to go to. I don't want it to be that way because it will just make me not want to further my education in college or university, which I should proably do if I want to get a decent job. That brings me to my next point about chaning schools.
My parents and I went to the University of Winnipeg Collegiate open house on Wednesday night. It was really good and I was quite impressed, but it was a bit overwhelming too. I got the impression that it would be really difficult because they have so many helps. All of the teachers have offices that they are in between specific hours if students need help. They have a tutor who will schedule you in, whenever, for whatever subject and help you. They also have teacher/student meetings, where a teacher will sit down with the student and just ask how school is going. They do this three times per semester. The school itslef is also fairly large and I felt like it was a huge maze when they took us on the tour. I'm sure I would get used to that though.
I told my mom today that she should make a meeting with one of the Dean's from the school just see what the options are and how to plan for a post secondary education. I think that it would be really good for me to go here because they move at a much faster pace, so it wouldn't be as boring and not as much time would be wasted in class. The semesters are like university semsters, from September to December, and then from January to the end of April. I think that's a pretty sweet deal. They say that you need to be self motivated, and I think I am. I think I could do it.
My birthday is coming up soon and I will be turning 16. I think that this will be a pretty important birthday beacuse I will probably be leaving Calvin in September, therefore it will be the last with my friends. I was originally going to go to Pinewood, where we normally go for Christmas break with our family, but then another 'oportunity' came up. Nick has to go to Minneapolis for work, so my mom and I asked if we could come along. He asked his boss if that would be alright, and he said that it was fine. So, for spring break, my mom, Nick, Kim and I will be heading down to Minneapolis. Nick for work, the rest of us for a break and probably some shopping.
So instead of having an awesome birthday party at Pinewood, I'll probably just have a mediocore one at my house, and then head out to Minneapolis. I already have some sweet ideas for it, so it should still be pretty fun. Anyways, I'm going to go find something else to do for the rest of the night...
