Now that is talent

The school I do my correspondance through has decided that it is the teachers job to be my tutor, so they are no longer funding a tutor for their students. Which includes me. Which includes math, at which I suck. Which means, that they will no longer pay Colette to tutor me, which is really bad news as she is the only reason I am passing math. For the school to do this is completely unreasonable, especially for student's like me who struggle in math. For my distance ed teacher to help me I would need her on the phone for over and hour every day. Which is what Colette is doing (except in person). I highly doubt that my teacher has that much time, as she has enormous mounds of schoolwork to correct, as I am not her only student. So, just because the school wants to tighten their purse strings, my education is suffering. Now doesn't that just sound like the BC school system?

Anyway, my rant does have a point. Now, Colette will be my art teacher (which they do still fund) who will also occasionally help me with math if I need it...no...when I need it, during/after art class. She will be focusing on photography with me, she will give me assignments (ex: take pictures of examples of contrast, examples of different types of contrast etc...) and then she will show me how to work with those pictures on photo-shop(right now I am taking out color and playing with contrast). I have decided to share with you some of my accomplishments of the past week. Enjoy, and feel free to comment on them. =)

Did you know that to get a hair appointment in this town, you have to book almost a month ahead of time? Yowza. Anyway, I took the initiative and booked myself an appointment for the 16th of February, at 2:30. Yup, thats right, today. So anyway, I went in there with a vague idea of what I wanted, and gave Karli a rough description of what I wanted. It turned out completely different than what I expected, but it is amazing! It is an inch or so shorter now, with a bunch of layers that are shorter, mostly around my face. I love it!!!

Well, Valentines Day has come and gone, just like any other day of the year. I got flowers...and chocolates. Jael got flowers as well. We gave them to each other. Now thats not weird at all.....nah, it was pretty sweet actually, I was not expecting anything like it. Thanks Big sis!!

Got to run and babysit now!!

Love and all that junk (yippee for valentines day)

Well, me and my mom and co. just got back from an oh-so-joyful trip to saskatoon. The being there was fine, it was the actual getting there that was the problem. On the way there, we were packed in quite tight, and we really did make an effort to pack light...then...the shopping happened. The trip back, I am sure we were almost dragging on the ground...but it wasn't our fault!! There are just so many pretty things....and then there was this sale....and before I/we knew it, we had almost twice as much stuff as we set out with. Poor Dante, that girl is so good. She was squished into the very back where there is this little mini-seat. And then, there was all our luggage squished next to her. As if that wasn't bad enough, Grandma's bag kept falling on her head! Most kids would have been complaining the whole time, but not Dante. She could have complained, in fact she had every right too, but she didn't. Such a sweetie.

Valentines Day is sneaking up on us, stupid holiday if you ask me(personally, I prefer st. patty's day YAY GREEN!!). Just a reason for all those romantics to feel let down because their boyfriends/husbands (or, on rare occasions wife/girlfriends) aren't as romantic as they are. Or you feel left out because you don't have anyone, or there are those people who hate it and feel pressured to do something because it is what their loved one is expecting. We should get rid of it. Except for the chocolate. Yummy. Heheh.
