So I finally tried posting earlier today, and the blasted blogger site was down. However it is back up now so it's ok :) Just a quick update here I think. The wednesday before school started I had surgery. dental surgery. I had to have three teeth removed in preperation for my braces. It sucked hardcore. i was knocked out while it was done, but of course felt like garbage and completly out of it when I woke up. Came home and stumbled into bed, where I stayed most of the time for the next four or five days, eating very little, and liquids when I did. I also of course had side effects which they like say may happen, but hardly ever do...for example, half of my tongue was numb on and off for about a week and a half. That SUCKED hardcore. That surgery really knocked it out of me, I am still recouperating from it, and my gums still healing. Besides the anastetic and drugs they gave me, and all the pain killers I had to take afterwards, I wasn't eating very much so I was really weak, and my endurance is still pretty low. So I had a pretty tough time getting through the first week of school, feeling the way I did. I'm not all the way recouperated but I'm getting there. I am enjoying all my classes so far, and like all my prof's. I'm particularily glad to be taking Canadian History. I saw my prof today and even got permission to write my essay on the effects of the rebellion of 1837, which is what the Spirit Walk is about. Which brings me to the next thing; Spirit Walk. Dress Rehearsal was last night, and after we got our 3 unlucky happenings out of the way it went well. I even saw a shooting star and told Katrina it was a sign for good luck. Apparently I was right. Opening night is Tomorrow, and the show runs Thursday, Friday, Saturday this year. I am excited, but nervous, to be Stage Managing this production with such a HUGE cast and stage. If anyone is interested in getting tickets let me know. School is really busy already, but I am looking forward to just immersing myself in good theatre and good people this week end. Oh yeah, and teachers college applications are FINALLY out and I've started the long process filling them out already. I'm stressed about that already, but also very excited and nervous. I really hope I get in. I think that's about it for now, this turned into a longer post than I anticipated. Hopefully I'll update again sooner than last time :P

oh P.S. I'm gettin the braces on Monday!

The following is from my cousin Mary-Beth's live journal, and it was so beautiful I just thought I'd post it here and share it with you all. It certainly made my eyes tear up, and I am so happy for her, that she so early found the person she wanted to be with for the rest of her life, that she and her hubbie are happily married now, that they found each other. I just thought it really captured what love is, what love can be, what I hope I can someday find.

"Thanks glandril Thanks for everything baby:Thanks for letting me go to your house all day, thanks for feeding me, thanks for loving me, thanks for understanding what I'm going through, thanks for helping me through all of this, thanks for knowing what to say to make me smile, thanks for knowing what to do to make me feel happy, thanks for knowing what to do to make me feel good *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* thanks for letting me cry in your arms, thanks for letting me be me, thanks for talking sense into me in my stupid moments, thanks for loving me, thanks for letting me into your heart, thanks for always being there for me, thanks for letting me call you late at night (or in the middle of the workday for you, I guess), thanks for being my light, thanks for being my angel, thanks for being my godsend, thanks for being you, thanks for loving me, thanks for wanting to share your life with me, thanks for putting up with all of my problems, thanks for always being there, thanks for never leaving me, thanks for everything. (I'm sure I missed something there, but my eyes are too filled with tears thinking about how lucky I am, and how much I love you)Je t'aime, mon ange, mon coeur, mon esprit, mon amour, je t'aime toujours."

I feel like I have kind of drifted apart from some people this summer. It's not that I didn't want to see everyone, but everyone seems to be so busy, I'm busy, it seems so hard to stay in touch with some people sometimes. Some of them it's a matter of distance, some it's just our free time never seems to overlap. Some, I just don't know why. And I miss the friends I haven't seen this summer. I am sure that I could have made more of an effort, but at the same time, so could they have. I guess as we all start to move on, into different directions in our lives, some people will drift away
