Scattered Thoughts

First of all, Ontario was great! Eric, Joey, and I had so much fun together. We visited with my grandparents, some family friends, and a few cousins. We made a few fun stops like Canada's Wonderland, where we rode some pretty crazy roller coasters, and Dave's Guitar Shop, which was one of the most impressive guitar shops I've ever seen. Even though I don't play guitar that much, I thought it was quite impressive.

Second, our house has been on the market for two months now, and today I was browsing for property south of Winnipeg, and I found a really nice river property. I want to live south of the city really badly, but it all depends on if our house sells and how my parents feel about living there. Hopefully they're cool with that...

Third, I'm still feeling a little bit nervous about school. I went back to school shopping last week with my mom and got all the stuff I need. Now I just have to wait...

Anyways, that's just some random stuff on my mind right now. Not too much is goin' on. I haven't felt very inclined to write anything lately.

Living the Summer Life...

Wow! I can't believe that it's already August! Where has the summer gone?! I feel like I haven't done anything productive at all this summer. All I've really been doing is hanging out with friends and sitting around like a bum. At least, that's what it feels like. I think August will be a little more exciting.
This weekend I'm flying out to Ontario with another cousin and we're driving back to Winnipeg with another cousin...I'm pretty excited. We're doing some fun things like hanging out with friends of the family, and going to Canada's Wonderland. I think it will be really fun.
I have some other things that are in the works of being sorted out, so perhaps some of them will work out and keep me occupied.
This summer I have given reading a second chance. I really used to hate reading, but the only reason I read was because I had to for school. I'm reading books that I actually enjoy now and it makes a world of a difference.
I've been thinking about school starting in September more than I normally do because I'm going to a new school. I'm a bit nervous, but quite excited. I think it will be a good change. My schedule is packed full of educational goodness. Haha! The way the schedule works at the University of Winnipeg Collegiate is pretty neat. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are all the same and Tuesdays and Thursdays are the same. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have a full schedule packed full of English, Precal, Chemistry, and History, but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I only have Art and Biology with the afternoons off! I'm especially excited about the fact that I'm done at the the end of May and I may be going to England! Hopefully that happens!
Anyways, not too much has been going on lately, just...life.
