My three month recap

See, as I predicted in my first entry, I knew I wasn't going to stick with the blog.
But it wasn't that I grew out of it. I've overall stopped keeping track of what I do and what I'm going to do; my agenda is blank, my iPhone calendar lost its numerous dots. When you're always on the go, that's just what it is. Always on the go. No time to plan, no time to think, to reflect, to stop.

These past three months, compact with so many events, rendezvous and deadlines, went by fast. However, once Dian mentioned my absence in the blogging world, I realized I want to continue recording the events in my supposedly twilight years.

So here it is; my three month recap:

These past few months, the world has been very consistent on reminding me of the fact that I am almost...ugh... an adult.
My mother is, although she's always been, a prime reminder; the avid supporter of my independence. Me, being somewhat idealistic, I don't realize what I needed until it's too late. My mom's always rushing for the solution before the problem appears.

M: "You're eighteen next year"
D: "Well this is just the beginning of my life"
M: "....You're eighteen next year."

Of course, she says this already realizing that her opinions rarely affect mine and that I a near-individual, a very stubborn one at that. However, I can't help noticing she seems just a little anxious to get me out of the house.

As I'm preparing myself with the inevitable next-stage of my life, I'm finally starting to appreciate what I have. Students at Ideal all go through this stage, I have a feeling. We had our last camping trip to Squeah. (October)




Oh how I'm going to miss this place!!!



Story behind this picture: we randomly decided to get naked and go swimming in the lake!! *thumbs up* Of course, we got in shit for it afterwards.

Later on in October, for the first time, I left Vancouver, and visited a different city in BC, to K-town :D
It was for a leadership conference in so we stayed in one site but it was nice to get out and witness, first hand, the beautiful flourishing male population in the East I'd only heard of.
Note to self: Must party in Kelowna!

November was an eventful month for me as I budged my way into the papers.

All excitement aside, lessons were learned from this interview.  
Do not joke about stuff you don't want to appear on the papers.
Somehow, talks and jokes of my childhood dreams made it into the papers as "I always wanted to be the president of a country and a few months before the election I thought if I really want to take that step I should start small here," sounding a lot to me like "I'm blind and clueless".
That little bloop aside, I think the interviewer went easy on me; I sound like a "petite" but smart lady!

Orchestra rehearsals have been abundant throughout November and December, with a ton of extra rehearsals on weekdays going on til ten. We finally recorded our Olympic music two days ago at CBC.

I also decided that I'm gona have a good fucken unforgettable Christmas this year.
I don't know how, but I will!

End of my three month recap.
