Back to normal at last

So...after a week of moping about things finally started to get normal again. Now, I'm only suffering from boredom and the occasional sadness when I think of how much fun I had and that I'll never have that specific experience again..but then I must remember there will be others and they can only be better.

The rewards of being in this show are still arriving. SO many people who came to the show have told me how much they enjoyed it, how surprised they were with me, and how proffesional and entertaining the play was!! Someone even said "I forgot it was just kids acting." That makes me realize what a privelage it has been (and is) to be part of this group. I've been so unapreciative in the past and often I wish for more...but really this is better than I could ever have wanted and I am so proud to be part of this theatre group even though it won't make me "famous."

Although I recieved an "A" in Drama I am now hurrying to finish up social studies which I neglected quite a bit right before and during the show. The rest of the time all I do is watch Little House On The Prairie (about 6 episodes a day - a waste of time I know - but it still entertains me even though I've seen every episode at least twice), write my stories of course, and count the days until my birthday. Kind of silly too but it was just yesterday that I realized its exactly 3 months till my birthday - Wahoo!

Thats all for now.

PS - You will also notice that I changed the name of my blog. Why? because I think "Elizabeth" is more fitting as most people actually don't call me Lizzie.

Just my boring life again..

So I am now fully back to schoolwork, my break is over. In Socials I am learning about the modern ages (well the modern ages of the 1500s) and in English I am reading Sherlock Holmes (which I am actually enjoying).

I am also racking my brain for a speech topic for 4-H. Speech night is on Wednesday and I have to pretty much know the whole speech from memory. I've never even written a speech before and the others I am going up against have alot of experience. I might as well be burnt toast compared to them =(.

Oh I got my piano exam results!! First class honours! Wow, I didn't think I'd do so well. I was really convinced I had failed!!

Yesterday I went skiing which was pretty fun. I got really scared though at this one point when it got so foggy I couldn't see anything but white!! I wasn't sure where I was. Thankfully it didn't last long.

Today I have dance...uhhh. not really looking forward to it. btw I am quiting all dance next year because I suck. Well to say that would be to put it mildly. I really, really, really can't dance. I'm not going to improve either. I'm convinced of that.

At first I was worried that if I quit now I'll regret it later...I did quit ballet a couple years ago to pursue horse back riding (which failed for other reasons which I don't discuss) and I sort of regretted it this year and thats why I started again I guess. But now I've decided I'd rather just improve something I'm actually good at. Something that I can actually use in life. (btw I know what that something is but I am not writing it here because I KNOW you'll laugh).

You know what I am really sick of right now? When people tell me I am blocking traffic!! Its happened twice lately and I wasn't even in the way! Uhhh..I don't know why I just wrote that...but its true!!

Ok g2g do some more school!

Fare the well!!

Bored..so very bored..

Ever since last Monday when I finished Math and Science I have been SO BORED!! There is seriously nothing to do until I get my English and Socials Books. ( I'm on semester.) So I guess maybe that is why I've been blogging so much lately.

I've never really had this happen before. Like even if its Christmas Holiday, Spring Break or the Summer there is always something I COULD or SHOULD do. Even if I don't do it and just procrastinate the whole holiday I don't have that feeling that I don't have anything to do. So this is like the first time I can actually remember really having NOTHING to do!

I guess I really shouldn't be complaining since I would actually prefer being "underloaded" then overloaded with school. The annoying thing is that all my friends are busy doing schoolwork!! Its kind of funny though since its usually the other way around.

I suppose I could start on Info Tech but I really don't feel like that. In fact, I don't even know what I feel like doing. I actually want to write something. Something really, really good. Like a novel or at least a good start to one but nothing is working. Well, I sort of got a good lead last night but I don't feel like trying to write and being discouraged.

I am entering two writing contests...
The Royal Commenwealth Essay Contest http://www.rcsint.org/essay/
& The Young Writers Club's Postcard Story Contest http://youngwritersclub.homestead.com/Postcard_story_contest.html

I believe that both are open to youth up to age 18 so please check them out if you are interested!! (The Commenwealth Contest gives some nice prizes too :) that is not why I'm entering though! )

I guess that is all for now! Probably the most boring post I've ever written but I just can't think of anything interesting to say when I'm bored!!!

Ta-Ta!!

Hello Again!

Hey there, it seems like a while since I've blogged!!

Last weekend I went on a ski trip with my youth group. It was really fun. Well, mostly fun! On the last day one of my friends and I went on a triple black run without meaing to! That was NOT fun! I took my skis off at one point and carried them and my poles as I walked. NOT a good idea! My foot got so stuck that my friend had to come help me dig it out!

I can't really think of anything else I've been doing lately except school! I'm finished science and ALMOST finished math.

I listened to a program on the inaugaration (correct spelling?!) on CKNW(correct again lol!?) It almost made me want to cry just thinking about how, just 40 years ago, a black man couldn't even drink from the same water fontaine as a white man and today a black man is the president of the United States!!!

Oh, we had theatre on Friday. I don't even know why I'm writing about it because nothing exciting happend. I felt like crying during the whole class. I know that sounds stupid but I've felt like that basically every friday. I know why..I think..but I'm not going to say on here.

Ok...well I'd better go!!!

See ya later!

Rain, School, Rain

Hey! Its raining here and it has been for the past couple of days. I'm afraid all the lovely snow will be gone soon :(. Although it was fun in the snow I am looking forward to when it gets back to normal again. I usually get tired of the snow after its been here a couple of weeks.

Well, right now I'm in a mad rush to get all my schoolwork done for Semester 1 and start fun-fun Semester 2 (English & Socials!). While I'm super excited about getting rid of these gruesome subjects (science & math lol) I'm NOT looking forward to doing my tests.

Yesterday I got a book called When I grow up, I want to be a Writer. Its a really good book! Btw I want to be a writer so its PERFECT for me. Especially since I've been having a major writing-block lately.

Well I'd better get back to things.

Bye!!
