So it's been quite a while since the last post, and I guess you can scrap the "daily" plan, since it doesn't seem to be working o.o Lotsa stuff has been happening, but I'll just skip to the most recent.
I guess the title's pretty obvious what today was about, but for those of you who can't seem to figure it out, I'll recap =D So today was a survery day, where these people from York University came to do a survey (Not just any survey, but a bullying survey). Itsa program called RISE, but I have no idea what it means. Anyways, they came during my core class, though I was hoping I'd skip science. The survey booklet was big and fat (About 10+ double sided pages I think?) so it took more than an hour to do. There were some really random questions though, mostly in your opinion kinda questions. The good thing was, they gave us candy in the end =D Also, your name gets entered into a class draw for some giftcard to Chapters, so Im hoping I win XD Sadly though, the survey cut off into my music class, so no flute for today =(
Onto the second title! So it's pretty obvious as well, but I'll go into it a little. Our Student Council (Sadly, I'm not in) came up with an idea, which is quite cheap-ish. Our school normally hires a DJ to come and play songs during our school dances, but they've thought of getting students to audition and replace the hired DJ. Though the students thought it was a great idea, I bothered to look into it a little, and after some asking around, I got the whole story. The school planned to borrow a sound system, since hiring a DJ cost "a lot more". Apparently it's $50 for borrowing the sound system, and $2000 for buying it. The hiring the DJ in the whole year costs about $2050 or so, (The school plans to buy the sound system) and they can't afford to just hire a DJ under $100, and so need a student DJ. Now where the $100 of saved money goes, I'm not sure. I only say it's cheap since the student DJs suck (No offence to anyone) compared to actual DJs, whose profession is to play music. Besides, the school is only saving $50, and even then, what is it going towards? This kind of discourages me to go to the school dances, even though I've gone to all of them. If I have to pay $3 for some kids who don't know their stuff, I guess I'll have to go watch the movie, which is quite sad since they play child friendly + educational movies E.x Planet Earth.
Anyways, that's all for now, so see you until I feel like writng again!

Somewhat lots of stuff
Wow, so much for daily -.- Oh well. Lemme start off with Halloween & candy hunting.
So we had lotsa time to go, but we ended up starting at 6:45 or so. We went until 8:30 or so, then went back to my house for a break. We continued until 9:30, then went back to my house again (We planned to go till 11, but barely any houses were still open, so we gave up). Everyone got bored, and we ended up playing rockband downstairs o.o Last person to leave was 10:30, so I guess that's reasonable enough.
Just yesterday, Travis, Jen and I went birthday gift shopping for Travis o.o We ended up getting him some gamecube game (I don't remember what game it was, but hey, not my fault). I ended up meeting James at the mall, though I didn't see his sister or cousin anywhere o.o I think we went for 4 hours, and then I had to go. I ended up meeting my parents at Sportscheck, and we ended up going shoe shopping. I eventually left the mall at 6:30, and then ended up grocery shopping o.o I finally got home at 7 -.- Though I did have a good time, I got stuck doing homework until 11.
Now, onto today. Today wasn't the best of days, since we had a random english test, and I dont think I did so well. I almost fell asleep in half the classes, and I think because of lack of sleep o.o Sad to hear, but my class stops doing band early, since most of us can't handle an instrument -.- We now get to learn about Mozart. Oh boy! (Sarcasm intended) Art class was ok, but I get stuck redoing my work, since I did it wrong. Thanks to Dhruv for giving me the wrong instructions -.-
That's pretty much it, so until then!
