I feel extremely honoured

Hey guys,

I can't believe there are actually people reading this thing. Even after I ditched it for 9 days I got at least 1 view per day. That means so much to me! Thank you to anyone who reads, I appreciate it immensely.

So. Today. I was wholeheartedly planning to skip my Bio class this morning so I could sleep for an extra hour but instead I got my ass out of bed and came for it, and I'm so glad that I did. Why? Because my professor decided to imitate the waggle dance of the bees today. Made my morning so much better and I'm really sorry that my friend didn't show up to class today to see it. She will be sad.

I failed my Russian quiz. I answered 50% of the questions and when I checked my answers (it was simply a vocab translation quiz) I got at least one wrong. So a big, fat F on that one. But, I had a riot reading this one text in the textbook, we were supposed to read it out loud to a partner to practice pronunciation, and the teacher seemed to like our enthusiasm. Brownie points perhaps?

In German we went over the verbs werden and wissen and we learned the difference between wissen and kennen, which both technically mean "to know" but they function much like connaître and savoir do in French. So basically savoir and kennen mean "to be familiar with x" and connaître and wissen mean "to know x for a fact". I didn't grasp that in French, whenever it came up I just guessed basically, and now I doubt I'll understand it in German. I've related it to the difference between to know and to be familiar in English, so that might help somewhat.

I've met my best friend from Kindergarten. She has a science in my room right after I do so we see each other at the door. It feels like poetic justice to me that we found each other after so many years. She left school after grade 6 to be homeschooled so I haven't seen her in eons. She hasn't changed a bit either. I'm hoping that we can get together soon and chat, we've only had a minute and a half to get caught up so far. We both have an affinity for Russian history, particularly the fall of the Romanovs, so we need to get together. I really do miss her company, we were such good friends for so long. We kind of grew apart near the end, but I have this terribly melodramatic idea that time brought us back together for a reason now, so maybe we can be good friends again. I hope so, at least.

I've been invited to a party hosted by the Pakistani Students' Society tonight. I know what you're thinking and I'm thinking it too. I will be the only white kid there. Which is fine, I guess. It's a henna night so I'm actually really excited to go. If you've seen anything on my deviantArt page you'll know that I'm a henna artist, so this is going to be an excellent experience. And I get to hang out with one of my IB friends all night, which will be awesome.

That is all the thoughts I have for today, I need to run to Craigie just now to pick up some cash and a notebook. And maybe a slurpee. I will talk to you again soon!
