Apple Pies...

I now offically cannot stand.... Apple Pies.
I now hate them.
After making over 100 pies in just a few short hours, you would too.
Thanks to a grad funraiser, I've had to do this... TWICE.
So... 200 pies... making the pastry, rolling them out... filling them with filling, and putting on the top... now, that is quite tiring....
So... for the time being.. do not show me an apple pie, do not talk about apple pies...
do not, do not I say!

Cold... I hate Cold

...I hate when the weather changes. The weather is getting soo cold :(
I hate when the weather goes from hot, to warm, to cold. It's drepressing... no more tank-tops, shorts, skirts... Now we have to wear pants, sweaters, big winter jackets.
I'll like it better when there is actual snow on the ground. Snow is alot fun to play in, and is sooo pretty ^_^
The way the weather is right now is sooo drepressing.. The leaves have all fallen off the tries, the grass is drying out, it's always frosty in the morning...
So... basicly what I'm saying in this pointless blog, is that I can't wait until the snow comes :)

Ouch

...I hurt in places I didn't know I could hurt in...

What a weekend... Baton workshop... 4 routines to learn, and ouch, being pushed to the limits...
I feel like I pulled my leg muscle, yet again, and that's not counting all my bruises, that I don't even know I got...

Sometimes I hate baton workshops... I come out feeling so sore, and I don't usually remember my routines. Someone Please Help Me...

I'm going to sooo kill myself this year... If I don't kill myself with all my freaky tricks that I have to do, I'll die from exhaustion after each routine..

The Art of Eating Chocolate. . . No Thanks, Part 2

White Chocolate is not actually chocolate, it's been proven!

I said this in my last blog, and have been met with some controversy about it. Now, I'm out to PROVE that white chocolate is NOT chocolate.

First of all, do you know what makes chocolate, chocolate? The cocoa bean. That's the main ingredient that gives dark/brown/milk chocolate it's taste, color, and smell. White chocolate does not have this ingredient.

But, why is White chocolate called 'chocolate'?
White chocolate is called chocolate because it is made with cocoa butter (the left over fat and sugar of the cocoa bean, after being prossessed to make chocolate). However, chocolate is considered to be something which has the distinctive smell and taste of the roasted cocoa bean, and white chocolate lacks this characteristic.

So.. technically speaking... White Chocolate isn't chocolate :P

The Art of Eating Chocolate.... No Thanks.

Do you know what I absolutely hate?
Chocolate. Yes, you read that right. I said chocolate.

Now, I bet you're wondering, who in their right mind hates chocolate?
Well, obviously, I do.

Another question you're most likely wondering, is Why?
To tell you the truth, I have no idea why I don't like chocolate. I used to eat brown and dark chocolate when I was a kid. Now, I can't stand it.
Oh, and before you say... White chocolate is chocolate, you're horribly wrong. White Chocolate is not actually chocolate, it's been proven! It's more like solid vanilla ice-cream, and I have no idea how that's even possible.

So go think I'm crazy, I don't care.. haha.. enjoy the chocolate too.

TRU.. and nursing

Thompson Rivers University is now accepting applications for the Fall of 2007's classes.

Today, I wrote out my application for TRU. I am applying for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. This course only allows a limited amount of people, so I'm applying early. I am EXTREMELY nervous about this. What if I don't get in? There are only three Universities in BC that offer this Degree... TRU, UBC, and UNBC.

I don't have all the requirements to go to UBC. I need French 11.. I only have 10. I also don't want to go to UBC, because it's in Vancouver, and I don't like Vancouver.
UNBC is in Prince George. I do not want to go to Prince George. I've also heard that it's not that great of an university.

What will happen if I'm not accepted? There's nothing else I'd want to do. I've wanted to be a nurse since before I even started highschool.... Sure I've been thinking of joining the Armed Forces, either the Navy or the Air Force... but I wanted to join to be a nurse.

Vancouver Fieldtrip

You never realize how close you become to someone in just a matter of days.

Near the the end of September, 11 students from DSS went to Vancouver on a Chemistry/English feildtrip. Having so little of us made us all actually talk to each other, and learn more about each other.
hahaha... In School most of us don't talk that often except to bug each other. :-)

We left early (before 6 even) in the morning, so most of us were sleeping on each other... Some people have some very uncomfortable shoulders....
Hahaha... Moving on...
Well when we got to Vancouver we headed down to Storyium... Well, to get there, we had to go through East Hastings... And had to get off the bus there too :( Everysingle one of us grabbed onto another, and walked down the street hand-in-hand or arm-in-arm. Haha... I think the guys liked it cause they had two or three females hooked on their arms.
Storyium was fantastic! Learned alot, and got involved in the plays :) And the cop guy was a total hottie, eh Jazmen? ;) After storyium, we headed up to UBC, and took part in the most boring tour ever of the Chemistry Labs... I almost fell asleep!!! After UBC, we headed to watch A Shakespere play, "Measure by Measure" It was FANTASTIC. I love seeing live plays.
After the play, we headed back to a hostel, where we were staying for the night. We played pool for a bit (haha I beat you Teri... made Alex and Fraser lose their bet too!), then headed to bed. The bedding completely stunk. :(
The Next day, we headed to Science World. I've never been there before, so it was quite interesting. I enjoyed it, but Body World was kinda disappointing :( Soon after we headed out headed home. We stopped at a mall for lunch and some shopping. Where did I head staight for? LA SENZA! whooo :) After shopping, we went home. What a fun field trip! I wanna go again!

Thanksgiving

Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone!
Hope it was a good one. I had an awesome Thanksgiving! My cousin, her fiance, and their son came up to stay with us. I haven't seen them in over a year. They arrived early Saturday morning (around 4:00 AM!) and stayed until early Monday.

Their Baby Liam was sooooo full of energy! Thats him and me in the photo. I loved every minute of it though. I wish I had a younger brother.

Thanksgiving Dinner was on Sunday Night, and we had 9 people over. Dinner was FANTASTIC! Thanks Mom! After dinner, we played cards, and had alot of fun!


Best Part of all was the TURKEY!!!! Whoooo

Fall...

Fall is the depressing season in my opinion... The leafs are turning yellow, and red, and brown... Then they lose their leaves... The grass turns brown... Snow starts to fall... The weather is getting colder... School's back in....

There are some good things about fall though ^_^ Thanksgiving... MMMMmmmm Turkey.... Halloween.... WHOOOOO free candy!!!!! My Birthday... YEAH another year older!
