Chapter 21: The Long Wait

Well Hello,
It is now roughly 3PM – and here I am, posting, just like I said I would. Ha! Well, this could get a lil’ long and I will apologize in advance for it, but hey, like it said in the ummm…bible…  “ye cried out for posting so ye shall get stuck with long posting” – Now your asking just where in the bible does it say that… well I think it’s towards the back somewhere, go look for it. :) Okay, I’ll admit, it’s not in the bible and I’m pretty sure most of you knew that. :) Anyways, here goes:

So, how has everyone been? Good I am hoping and assuming. I have yet to hear of any tragedies so I’ll think you’re all fine. Anyways, as long as we’re all alive, we’re good – right? Like the new slogan I’ve picked up “I’m alive, so no complaints”. :) Amen for that one.
Well, now that I know you’re all good, and have been good for the past month, I’ll post about my “exciting” life – just to let you all know what’s been keeping me so busy.
Well, first off – I’ve been flat out at school work. No joke. I’m sick of it actually, I’m soon just gonna say “crap it” and not even do any. Well, I can’t do that, but I often feel like it. It seems that the teachers pile work on students all one time, (ex. I had a World exam, major assignment, math test, plus other little things to do for school) With all that, I had things to do for the grad, the student council, bible study, prayer meeting, CAP, newspaper – so that’s a fair bit of work. Especially when you have a deadline for it all to be done. I managed to pull it off, but had to take a Friday off of school just to “distress” myself. It was fun though. That sounds weird, but it was. I always have to have something to do or I become bored. And when I become bored, that’s not good. lol- Eh Charlotte. Ha! Let’s not go there… ha!
Anyways, yeah – it was mostly school work that kept me away, but there was something else as well. For the longest time, my laptop had a serious case of spyware. I had done literally dozens of searches, destroys – immunes, all of it, and it still wouldn’t leave me alone. It was THE worst time in all of my computer history. I ended up calling like three different people and asking their advise, I had two people to look at my computer and they couldn’t even do anything and then I had to call a person who REALLY knew what they were doing – and they told me a few things but it all boiled down to doing a “system restore” on my computer. It totally sucked cause I lost a few things, but despite that, IT WORKED!  That took a number of days to get fixed, and since that I don’t use my laptop a whole lot for online stuff, other then email. Ha! So! There’s another reason.
Well, It was my birthday a few days ago (on the 27th of February) – I normally don’t overly celebrate my birthday other then have the “family” in for a meal, open a few gifts and cut a cake. Wow! For me, it’s just another day. Who cares I’d say. lol- Next year, if I’m in Vanguard I probably won’t even bother to celebrate it. It’s pointless – why do people make such a big deal over it anyways. Now that I think of it, it’s rather dumb. Children on their birthdays want to be “older” like, “ohh, I can’t wait til I’m 30” , then when a person who’s 29 turns 30 they nearly faints off… :rollseyes: (I really wish they had smilies on Blogger, maybe I should suggest it to them). You only have ONE birthday, the day that you were born, all the other days just mark it, so it should be called a “birthday celebration”… but I guess that’s to long for people to say that, considering today is mostly a “rush, rush” thing. “In and out as fast as you can”… Mmm, I wish people would simply slow down. Oh well, I guess that would be a lil’ hypocritical of me to say, considering I am a “rush, rush” person – most of the times at lease.

Anyways, Yeah – So I’ve been extremely busy. – As you now, can tell.

In closing, I would like to make it VERY clear that WE HAVE WAY TO MUCH SNOW! It’s soon be spring and now we’re getting ALL SNOW! Almost daily, and might I add, it sucks! Ha! Well, I’m sure there’s a few that enjoy it!

Prayers Everyone
