Alright so I'm going on semi-hiatus until February 1st for exams! I say semi because I have very little faith in my ability to stay completely off the Internet. =( If you see me tell me to go to away. Loudly, rudely, and repeatedly should you like. In fact take the opportunity to air any untold greivances you may have against me; there is hope that I will scurry away like a small animal and take refuge in studying. Not very much hope but it is there.

P.S. I may not return even within February due to the joyful reunion with books I plan to undergo once I return from my Calculus exam.
P.P.S. Did you know Tharkay from the Temeraire books is going to marry me? It's true.
P.P.P.S. And if I ace my exams you're all invited. Just to add incentive. =D

Yesterday was probably the best end to a year I've ever had. =D I went to the Reviving the Islamic Spirit's Entertainment night (more on RIS later).

( There was a movie! And music! And funny! =D )

Happy New Year everybody.

It's been an interesting couple of days. I signed up for the Anime Club at school and it looks like it'll be a lot of fun. Harleen and Ankita got scared off by the...enthusiasticness of the club members but I think I'm going to fit in just fine. :D Plus the club heads are Brittany, Marques, and Zoe, all awesome friends of mine. ♥

I'm feeling pretty proud of myself because I've finished almost all of the essays for my English summative. Of course it's due this Friday, so it was kind of expected that I be at least close to finishing but ne. I was being realistic, I was sure I'd be rushing to write three essays all on Thursday. Now I've only got my satire essay left which should be easy to write seeing as deadpan sarcasm is one of my default modes. <3

I was freaking out a bit earlier, because Zoe (friend of mine who's a year older) decided she's going to drop out of the IB program (advanced program we're in). Her home school's in Mississauga so she'll be transferring. Not only am I going to lose one of my friends and manga buddies, I'm going to have to manage Earthcore (school environmental club) all by myself! We were the co-heads and I don't really think I'm ready for the responsibility of heading the club on my own. There's really no other option though so I guess I'm just going to have to manage. I'm probably going to feel a bit awkward though, seeing as some of the club members are older then me. And I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to say to the new niners. X_x Wish me luck, please?

Math is proving to be a difficult subject this semester, my brain shut down in class today when the teacher started explaining about the slope of line and tangent. I know it's not anything hard but my brain tends to do this weird thing where it totally stops working after awhile and everything the teacher says just flies over my head. I probably should look into getting some help if this keeps happening.

Civics is turning out to be a pretty good class, we're going over political ideologies right now. Really heavy on the note taking but it's prompting some fun discussions. ^_^; You know you're becoming a true IB nerd when political discussions goes under your list of fun things to do.

A question to the Canadians on my f-list, are any of you planning to Word on the Street? It's a big book and magazine festival held in different locations throughout Canada each year. Authors, publishers, magazine editors, and other people working in the literary field all show up there. ebony_creme you might be interested to know Margaret Atwood will be doing a book signing there this year. :D I'm subtly trying to seduce you into coming. Really though, it's a lot of fun and if nothing else a good place to pick up new books cheap. ^.^ It's on the coming Sunday, September 24th. The Toronto branch (the one I'm hopefully going to) will be held at Queen's Park. You can find out more at the website.

And now I really should stop avoiding my trig homework. -_-; Notice how I only write my long entries whenever I'm putting off something? Somehow I get the feeling I'll be updating lj a lot more often during this school year.
