kiwanis

School band rocks!.... or, er.... plays classical.., and jazz,.... and concert music..... anyways that not the point, the point is it is great! We were awarded a gold at the kiwanis music festival and won the trophy for our class! I love band. our band was the only band to have oboes... one of the judges even commented on that we had two guys on oboes... i guess thats rare... Anyways, i play in another class on tues, as part of our woodwind ensemble... hopefully we do ok, but i'm not holding out for agold anytime soon

trip to ottawa

so i've taken a trip to visit my sister.... and have done alot of "firsts" along the way:
-first time i've taken a greyhound bus (other than with school)
-first time taking a bus transfer
-first time to toronto on my own
-first time using 411 (i lost my sisters phone number)
-first time to ottawa

there'll be more first over the next few days.... and ottawa is great

musicfest

today was musicfest (the competition our school band spend all year preparing for) and we won Gold! , mind you that doesn't neccessarily mean we were best, just that we ranked gold on the judging scale.... sorta confuzzling how that thing works.... but still gold! that means that we played all three songs almost flawless! so i'm happy... and thats all for now

mush

wisdom teeth out... and now MUSH! thats all i can eat, luke warm mush! mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs and milkshakes.... no texture at all!!!! I'm tempted to stick a steak in a blender (i'm a bit meat deprived).... but i just bought some raviolli so i should be able to survive a bit longer

my no good, terrible day

not actually that bad but whatever.....

-first i go to school, find out my english exam was yesterday afternoon, NOT today

-I frantically run around the school till i find the english teacher

-after a few minor changes to the exam, i get to write it in a room just off the library

-at the end of the day i get on the bus and.... its the wrong one (another stupid bus took our usual spot)

- i get on the right bus

-i go home

-i go to work

-the doors are open to the barn and my fingers freeze, my arthritus starts acting up and ,my work is muck more painful

-a trainer (a spikey metal thing) gets stuch on one of the milkers and swings down into my hand

-it stapped into my finger and my hand is now bleeding

-a cow kicks me in the knee

- I step in and slip on crap and wack my ankle on the edge of the manure track

-i come home and have to rinse my mouth with this sanitizer because i'm getting my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow.... it burns

..... lets hope tomorrow goes better, although it will probably be painful due to the removal of my smartness from my mouth

late 1800s

those of you who know me, know that i get fixated on specific things.... ok, i obsess over them. I get into phases where i am absolutely intriged with a particular subject. Right now i'm entering a turn of the century phase. I've always liked the non-frilly victorian stuff, but now more than ever, my sketch book is filled withpictures of tophats, lamp posts, and capes... I've taken to looking online for the style of cape i want to sew (i've been talking about that forever) and i think i may try to make a top hat..... more to follow on this subject

life is swell

i had a good day on friday, i wrote my art test... easy...... and i got money.... $5 for marking the fill in the blanks on the art exam during lunch.... and then i got my first milking pay check that night... and then Gattaca was on TV so i saved myself the money i would have spent renting it (good movie by the way).... anyways if next week goes this smooth i'll be happy ( I have history and English exams and then am getting my wisdom teeth out on thursday)

cows= $

so yeah, i did my first solo shift milking cows so now I'm going to get full pay (san't remember how much that is), therefore i am no longer a trainee but an actual milker... man is that a hick job or what?

MOO

whoa! i havn't mentioned my job yet! I've been working at a dairy farm down the road for a week already.... its nice, fairly easy work.... the only downfall is that afterwards you smell of iodine and occasionally, sour milk. I like it though and it beats working with stinky pigs ( these cows don't smell bad at all), or moving chickens with "Large Talons". I've been learning alot about cows though.... like 5 nipples cows aren't uncommon, but as far as i know you only milk the 4 regular nipples... Oh! and sometimes you only can milk three (we have one cow where this is the case)... but yeah...... MOO!

re: isp(s)

by the way i got 87% on both the isp projects i was freaking about.... now i just got to finish my art canvass over the next week.... should be easy ( I'll post a pic when its done)

dressed up

here are some pics of me in suits:
to the left: this year's semi outfit,
to the right: me being hyper and squeezing into my bright blue grade eight grad suit, Tubular!

metro

well, i guess i can be called a bit metro now, u c this started a while ago.... being an art person i wanted to carry a sketch book, unfortuatly guys don't carry bags (save for bulky backpacks) and this is unideal for carrying a big sketch book and pencils, pens etc... so i decided that i needed a bag to carry.... the most convenient and masculin one i could think of was a labtop case. This i got from a guy who gives us random stuff from garage sales. I then needed to make it cool (it had a logo for our local teachers union on it, not a cool thing in a high school), so i nintendo-ized it. I covered this logo with a triforce (from Zelda), and learned embroidery to make a super mario patch for an inside pocket. I now have an amazing bag perfect for books and my sketch book.
(here are some pics of it)
