So today the colleges came to my school and now I'm quite puzzled. You see the first person we talked too was from Emily Carr School of Art and the guy seemed really real, unlike the other colleges whose presenters seemed really fake. He even tipped us off on some pretty cool things to do do get into the Emily Carr school. I think it is something I should look into since I like that but I'm not nearly as good as most people I know. The other option for me is my career choice of Psychology, I figured at first that I would go right after High School and be done in 7 years and have my PH.D. But now I'm not as sure as I was before. I was going to go to the Okanagan College and stay with my Aunt and everything would be all set to go. I have decisions to make now and not a lot of time to make them.
The thing that puts me down the most is my dad repeating to me that I can't in life. I can't be like my sister whose going to become a Veterinarian, I'm not going to become a Pharmacist like he wants me too. He thinks and voices all the time that I'm never going to go anywhere in life. He told me to day that I wasn't going to become a vet like Paige or a pharmacist and I'm going to flip burgers at McDonald's for the rest of my life.
I thought parents were supposed to support you in everything you do not put you down because you won't become what they want you to become. Not put you down all the time about decisions you make in life for your future. At least mom is being helpful and supportive, which I am thankful for.

Weekend With Grandma
So my parents went out of town for the three day weekend. Mom in in Vancouver and Dad has taken the girls out camping. So Grandma and I are at home here together hanging out. She made some awesome Halloween cupcakes. They are so good. Anyway my parents won't trust me to stay home alone so my grandma always comes to stay. I don't mind her company at all and she cooks awesome dinners :) . Everyone gets back on Sunday so we have been sitting watching Halloween movies and we watched this movie call Stacey's Mom. It is based off the song and I would not recommend it as viewing material. It's pretty dumb and only a little funny. Now we are watching Criminal Minds. All this is helping to take my mind off of what has happened in the past weeks.
So, in the time Mrs. Rowell has given the other Script Writing students to write one play I have had to write two. This is why; So I wrote the first play with this student named Robbie in mind as the lead of the play, Mrs. Rowell had promised me I would get him. So I finished the play and one day Mrs. Rowell had all the DS students get together to choose students for their play. Well Angie actually allowed me to have Robbie, and that's when it started. Ashley Lewis began to huff and puff because she wasn't getting what she wanted right away. So when I went to the washroom, she went to Rowell and had the whole list changed. I now have both SLR students and Alex, who is the most difficult student to work with in class, a student who does shit all named Hannah DZ and one good student who is extremely soft spoken. Oh, and guess who gets Robbie, that's right, Ashley Lewis. I'm so ticked. I went and talked to Rowell but she only continued to make excuses. That is going to be the most stressful few weeks of my life. Anyway so I had to write a whole new play because well those students would never be able to do my old play which meant a lot to me. So I wrote a new one and if Rowell asks why I changed it I shall tell her the truth. This was only part of a bad week...
So Mrs. Henly, my psychology teacher was being a total cow and wouldn't accept my note from being away, in fact she gave the whole class a lecture on my note not being an adequate excuse. This was the beginning. She then told me I would get zeros for all the work I wasn't there for. Then the next time I had a new note and I walked toward her to hand her the note, and she looked at me like I was pathetic and laughed. So I didn't go to D block and dad talked to the principal who talked to me the same day as the Drama issue. He had Karpenko come talk to me the next morning about what happened and I told him. The principal gave me permission to leave during that block as long as I signed out before I left. He said I could do this until I either got out of the class or talked to my parents. The next day I was able to get out of the class which was good, but I really hope Mrs. Henly gets caught for harassing all the students.

Thanks Giving Dinner
So I'm excited to say that I have officially made Turkey dinner by myself! I told the boys here that if they pitched in and bought the groceries I would make them Turkey Dinner for Thanks Giving. Well being a vegetarian and never having done it in my life I can officially say I have accomplished it. All I needed was a little help getting the nasty stuff out of the turkey and a couple tips from my Auntie Angela and Gramma and I was set. We are having a few guests over....some of them not exactly invited or expected for that matter.....
So approximately two days ago Myles asshole of a room mate brought home this girl. He didn't bother to introduce her or anything and rushed her to his room. So we all figured she was a corner pick up (a nicer way to put it) and figured she'd be gone in the morning. Turns out Myles had the next day off so we were planning on going shopping for Turkey dinner and then he had some other plans which I will tell you about later. Anyway...she was still there when we woke up....and was there for a while and Myles decided this was weird and pointless with her hanging around and he, and I both weren't comfortable with it in case she was just some one night fling his room mate picked up. So he went and knocked on the door. First there was no answer then he knocked again, harder this time and asked her who she was where she's from that kind of thing. So she told us she was Dan's girlfriend from Grand Prairie. We were still not super comfortable with it so he put a sock on the door. Later that night we find out that Dan claims she's not his girl friend, yet she's staying with him and they are doing it every night. Oh and even though Dan is supposed to pitch in for the dinner he isn't and apparently she is staying...THANKS FOR F-ING TELLING US!
So Myles took me out yesterday and we spent the day together. First we went shopping for turkey dinner and then came back to check on the apartment since we didn't know for sure what that girl was, and had lunch. He then borrowed Brandi (a girl who works in the office and is super nice)'s vehicle. She was really nice and let us use it. He told me he wanted to take me to a beautiful waterfall in Tumbler Ridge. He is soooo romantic is too sweet, I love him! Anyway, we couldn't find any maps or directions to get there so we went to see the world's largest earthen damn. It was called the W.A.C. Bennett damn. It is located in Hudson's Hope and it is so large that you have to drive across it. Even though it was windy and cold it was pretty cool and an awesome experience. We also looked at a fossilized dinosaur, the real thing even, and not a replica. It was cool and so fun to do together. When we got back we went for dinner. It was freezing and we walked all the way to the Red Lion (which is supposed to be Chetwynd's version of a fancy high class restaurant) and it was closed. So we ended up walking back and going to the Red Dragon, which was a Chinese food place that only has two items on the menu which can be converted to a vegetarian meal.... Steamed Rice, and Vegetable Chop Suey, which was mostly onions. But it was still really nice of him to take me out for dinner and, minus the onions, it was actually really good. He is such a sweet heart. I can't wait until we get to spend more time together after everyone leaves after dinner :)

9:45am to Chetwynd!
So last week I was talking to mom about going up to visit Myles sometime soon. Expecting her to say know I asked cautiously. But instead she said of course and even offered to buy the bus tickets and give me money for a cab ! I was absolutely amazed and ECSTATIC! So my bus leaves Saturday October 9th at 9:45am for Chetwynd....I just realized that the ticket is for the wrong day cause it was supposed to be for Friday the 8th.....Anyway now I"m a little less excited. But I'm still excited to go see him :) I come back on the Tuesday and I even get to spend Thanks Giving with him. I told his room mate and him that if they pay for the ingredients I'll make them thanksgiving dinner :) Well I'm off to finish packing though I thought it was for Friday so now I also have to talk to mom....
