APRIL FOOLS!


Yes, today is the first of April. It is also April Fools Day. To me, this "holiday" is pointless. Sure it is funny to get a couple of laughs from pranks, but some pranks are not nice and it can be quite annoying. Not saying a bad prank was pulled on me, because it wasn't thank goodness! But for some people, it could really suck! I only got pranked once today by my friend Devon. I had met up with him in the library along with Alex and some other friends and I had asked him what we did in Track practice yesterday because I wasn't there. He told me that I was kicked off the team because it was the second day this week I did not attend practice. Stupidly believing him I said WHAT?! As he said seconds after, April Fools! But thank goodness this only goes on until the afternoon otherwise you're the fool!


Anyways, it's Friday! My weekend project: Camera Cupcakes! My boyfriend had asked me if I could make cupcakes that he could bring into work for his birthday that passed. Whenever it is someones birthday they have to bring in some sort of treat. So he wanted to bring in cupcakes, and seeing as he works in a camera store, I thought I would make Camera Cupcakes! I have absolutely no idea how this is going to work out, but I have an idea! I'm going to make half a batch of chocolate cupcakes and half a batch of vanilla. I'm going to apply vanilla icing to all of the cupcakes. I am then going to place a mini Oreo Cookie on to each one of the cupcakes, (Camera lens). From there, I'm going to take black icing gel and draw the outline of a camera around it including buttons. From the way it appears in my head, I'd say they're going to turn out quite cute!


As for the rest of my weekend, work and English homework! :)


I wish I could make my cupcakes look this good!

On Your Mark, Get Set... Go!

Well I didn't go to school today!

Today was the Literacy Test for the grade 10 students and for any other students who did not pass it the first time. Luckily for me, I passed it the first time. English has always been one of my best subjects. Grade nine- 98% Grade ten- 77% Grade eleven- 87% and I am currently taking English this semester and am sitting at a 99%. I'm a very opinionated and descriptive person so it helps a lot when answering questions to stories or writing essays.

Anyways, I got to sleep in this morning! The Literacy Test was only occurring in the morning so I was supposed to attend my fourth and fifth period classes. However, as the time went on, I did not want to move from my bed. So I decided to stay home for the whole day. We weren't doing anything productive in my classes anyways seeing as half of the students wouldn't even be there due to the fact that their school buses come to pick them up in the morning.

So because I stayed home today, I missed Track practice as well. I don't think it would have made a difference if I was there anyways seeing as I can barely walk! My calfs and ankles are so sore, it makes it very difficult to walk properly. When coming to a standing position from sitting, I move so slowly it's ridiculous. I have never felt this way before after doing any sort of physical activity.

Even though I am unbelievably sore, Track is going good for me so far! I've been to two practices so far and I'm slowly getting back into shape! My first practice, we warmed up by running laps of the school. I ran the basement, then first floor, second floor, third floor, then back down to second floor, first floor and basement. Embarrassingly, I was the last one to finish my laps. However this did not bother me! I am in it to get back in shape and loose my tummy-chub. After running our laps, we did exercises that will help us improve on our events. Then to wrap up our practice, we ran the stairs. I do not like the stairs. The stairs are not my friend. My legs were so numb and weak by this point, that I thought I was going to fall down or up the stairs. It was brutal! But just what I needed to start me off!

My second practice involved a lot of running. We did our warm-up; a run of the school and then headed outside to the Track. Myself being opposed to cold weather, sadly had no say in this decision seeing as the whole Track team thought it was a good idea to run outside. I'm very sensitive to cold weather and can not stand it. Also my joints tend to act up in the cold weather causing myself to move slower than usual. Despite the coldness, I tried my hardest. We did our usual exercises and then began running. We ran three laps of the track and five 100 meter sprints. If this were me last year, I would have found a way to get out of it. However this year it's a different story. I must say I'm quite proud of myself for completing all of the required running. Even if it has caused me all of this pain!

Hopefully from here on, it will only get better! :)

Early Birdie.

Another Friday.

Another weekend. A weekend of work obviously. Also a weekend of homework, but that's no surprise either. However I did give myself something to look forward to this weekend, SHOPPING!

Today, is a good Friday. Today is PAY DAY! Which means I get to go out and buy myself something! It was officially the first day of Spring this past Sunday and despite the fact that there is still snow in London, I'm going to buy myself something I need for summer. That would be a new pair of shorts.

All of my shorts from last Summer are too small for me now. So I am in desperate need of shorts so when the gorgeous weather decides to wake up from it's very long nap, I am ready for it! I had purchased a pair of denim jean shorts from American Eagle last year and they are by far my favourite pair of shorts. That is why I am going to purchase my new shorts from American Eagle as well! And I am in luck! They're having a buy one get one 50% off sale on shorts! So not only am I going to purchase a new pair of denim shorts, I think I might purchase some nice tan-brown shorts as well. Also to boot, I have about $35 left in American Eagle gift cards from Christmas! So I won't be spending all of my hard earned money.

However that is not the only reason for my trip to the mall. I am also browsing around for some heels to go with my prom dress. There are these pair of heels from Le Chateau that are perfect to me for my dress. The heel is short enough so I can easily walk in them, they look to be the same colour shade as my dress, they are peep-toe and they just look so fancy! I just love them! They are a bit pricey for me though, $80! So I am going to be smart about it. We are only in March and my prom isn't until June. They just have to go down in price by then! So that is why I will wait.

Until then, my eyes will still be open. :)

I want it!
