I think this is the longest that I've not updated for!! I've just been so focused on other things.

School started again, and this year is my senior year. That means a lot of stress, but in a good way!! I can't wait to get out of this town. Right now I feel like I was just made for university. This semester I'm taking Peer Tutoring (I was placed in a grade 10 applied English class), Law, and English. The work load isn't that bad most of the time, but it kind of goes in waves. I guess you could consider right now low tide in that case, since I have time to be here

I quit my job at the library and I got a new job at the bookstore, Coles, at our mall. So far I'm really liking it there because I get to help a lot of people and I feel like my opinion counts, and I get to use a cash register. This is exciting to me because when I was a kid, my dream was to be a cashier. Or a waitress or a secretary. Plus there's more hours, and more hours = more money. The discount on books doesn't hurt either, considering that I buy so many of them.

And yesterday I turned 17! "It's about time," as one of my best friends put it oh-so-politely. It really is though, because I feel like I'm so much older than my real age anyway. Either that or way younger. I celebrated rather uneventfully with my friend sleeping over and chilling with my family. There wasn't really much to be done because in Canada it's thanksgiving weekend, so no one was really available. See, everyone thinks about the drawbacks of being born at Christmas, but no one thinks of thanksgiving!!! I got some nice gifts though, the highlight of which was the Coach bag my parents let me pick out. It's very me - all pink and uniquely shaped (that's me all right lol) with my signature bow.

So hopefully I'll be back sooner this time! But if not...uh...Merry Christmas?
