My, oh my, oh my...it's been what...a whole MONTH since I've last blogged!?! More than that...actually=S Anyhoo...for those who have been faithful enough (or maybe crazy enough...*cough*David*cough) to check this every single day for the past month in which I didn't update...here's what you've been waiting for!!! hehe...

So...what have I been up to since the new year began...Studying, homework, EXAMS=P But as crazy as 1st semester was - with calc, gr.11 bio, English, and algeo - I actually ended with better marks than I had hoped for...and NO, I did NOT get perfect in calculus=P

As for semester 2...which feels like I've been in for a while already...I've got all 3 gr.12 sciences (unfortunately chem with Christensen, yet again...) and design tech. There haven't been too many assignments...just a lot of homework every nite...and well, design tech, we're designing a classmate's "dream cottage"...but mine's turning out to be a mini dream getaway condo thing...don't ask...But yeah...a LOT of work in that course. Especially since I've gotta learn how to use DataCad and draw 4 floorplans within this upcoming week=S

Other than that...what else have I been up to...hmm...OH YES! Earlier this month, I got myself listening to Mr. Graham's stuff he had online...it's REALLY good...I think, anyways=P For those who don't know who Mr. Graham is, well, he's one of the two music teachers at school. And outside of being a secondary school music teacher, he has a band of his own...and he happened to get a debut CD out last year. Anyhooey, for those who are interested, check out his site at: www.chrisgrahammusic.com =)

Here's one of the songs I like (in terms of lyrics):

GONE AMERICAN
Everything’s gone American,
This is the world we’re living in,
It’s not a war that we can win,
As long as we’re always giving in.
Everything’s gone American,
Tell me a place I’ll show you when,
They put a dirty finger in,
Looking for Benjamins within.

Well I know there’s people out there too,
Who believe that freedom’s not just for me and you,
So many voices, but whose choices,
Are we letting them divorce us from our souls, from our souls.

CHORUS:
I long to be free again,
Now everything has gone American,
I long to breathe you in again,
But everything has gone American.

Everything’s gone American,
God Bless us all in all Amen,
Let’s close our eyes and count to ten,
Maybe we can begin again.
Everything’s gone American,
Is this the way it’s always been?
Somehow it gets under your skin,
Where does spin end and truth begin?

And I know, I know it’s starting to grow,
There’s no way you’re gonna hear this song played on Uncle Sams’ radio,
So many voices, but whose choices,
Are we letting them divorce us from our souls, from our souls.

CHORUS

Fast food on the moon, it’s coming soon,
Exhaust on mars, I’m seeing space cars,
On the top the world there’s a hole in the sky,
Someday we’re all gonna be deep fried.
Now all my blues are turning grey,
Somebody take away the paint.

Everything’s gone American,
Is this the world we’re living in?
Let’s close our eyes and count to ten.

Well...hope you guys check it out=) As for me, Dad's calling for dinner, so I better go=P

Hope you're all doing well!
