bdah!

I am feeling nervous again! Only not about any particular thing! I wish this mood swinging would stop already. :(

On the bright side I finished my Earthcore poster! Now all I need is tape and I will be set to recruit my new minions tomorrow.

I feel like reading a Danielle Steele book. Why are you asking me to do this brain? Do you not remember the terrible boredom that was needed in Egypt to finally induce you to finish The House on Hope Street? Finish Singer in the Snow instead, according to Locus it is fantasy-like sci-fi.

Question: How does one define sci-fi? Because I have seen Kelly Link's Magic for Beginners classified as sci-fi and now my brain, she has the confusion. I got past the sci-fi = spaceships and robots! definition and have been thinking of it as weird stuff that does not involve magic. Now I find this is not true. I live in puzzling times.

Also I need to sleep. I can not for the life of me figure out why I thought it would be a good idea to drink a Tim Hortons ice capp on top of the cup of tea earlier.

Hey that caffeine is probably the reason for the mood swinginess.

I am starting to be allergic to the Internet. This is a sign I should go and see if I can force sleep to come.

countdown the clock is ticking

School starts in four days. I don't have an opinion anymore. I'm just going to go in, do my best in all my classes and clubs and make a couple of extra du'aa. =)

school: Grade 9 Orientation went fairly well. Had a sudden attack of the nerves when faced with my first academic group; they were huge compared to the IB groups. Still delivered my spiel okay, though I forgot a few of the things I mentioned to the earlier groups. I got a couple of people signing up and some more who said they might be interested in joining later. Note: I'm going to try to remember to take a lot of pictures at Earthcore this year, if the next head does this I'd like them to have pictures and info about what we've done to show the grade 9 kids.

volunteer: Tomorrow will be my last day at the hospital. It was interesting, although I don't think I'll be doing it again next year. I went to Youth Arts Against Violence for the first time in two weeks. We gained a couple of new members while I was gone. Today's workshop on lateral thinking was a lot of fun. I signed up to do a drama skit at the festival.

religion: I'm going to try and pick up a newer translation of the Quran soon. The one I've been using was published in the 1930s and uses really archaic English - all seest's and thou's and so on. I'd like something with a little more clarity for Ramadan.

other: I have a copy of Naomi Klein's No Logo! =) It is next on my Non-Fiction reading list after Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip Hop Generation (which is insanely fascinating. Also the photography is lovely).

Toodle-oo!
