Tomorrow is the big day. I am strangely calm, when I know I should be excited. Perhaps this is just one giant hoax and i am the victim of everyone's collective laughter...? No, not likely.
RISK on Tuesday was a great time. I enjoyed it quite a bit, after almost a year of no actual RISK Club, I was starting to worry it would never start. Anyways, Vanessa has said she will host a RISK Tournament the last weekend of the month. I sure hope so!
While in Europe, i will be visiting London, England; Paris, France (Including Versailles); Florence, Italy and finally Rome. I am taking lots of pictures and bringing them back. I can't wait to see the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles! I think that might be the highlight of my trip, unless I see the Pope or the Queen.
This past week has been busy and short, seeing as how we had Monday off. Why does every event get stuffed into the shortest month? I want an answer, people! Or why not steal a day from some months with thirty-one days and give those days to February? Give February a break! At least when I get back, there will only be three days left in the week, then it is a long weekend... Again!
In shop, I have tacked the welds for my table. Unfortunately, the tiles do not fit in the frame, meaning I will have to sand them down. Ugh! Hopefully I will avoid doing something horrific and unrepairable to my table, after putting so much effort into it. Could be a problem if I, oh, let's say, accidentally blew out the metal while welding and created a huge hole that needs a lot of time and effort to fill? Oh well, for now those are just fears.
Well, I have to go and pack now. I'll write when I return from Europe and tell all about it!

It's been a long time!
Wow, I haven't posted since before Christmas, mainly because I've been so busy. I've been curling three nights a week, preparing for a drama production, and taking care of my Granny. I am happy to report that she is doing well in the lodge in LANIGAN! They did NOT have to move her to Strasbourg, which is super! Over Christmas, I basically enjoyed myself. We went to Regina on Boxing Day to celebrate the Holiday with family. We took my Granny, which was an exciting event for her.
Since Christmas, Tamara and I have been conspiring to set up a drama production. Whew, is it ever a lot of work! For now it seems on track, though.
RISK has started at school, finally. I never made it to the first meeting, but I will sertainly make it to the one this week. I am going to try and make this a weekly blog now, that way I don't get too far behind.
And lastly, I AM GOING TO EUROPE ON FRIDAY! Wow, it seems a little unreal, but there it is. I am nearly packed and ready to go. We got a new camera for the occasion. I am starting to get nervous about the flight now, seeing as how they've had a lot of problems with Air Canada recently. Oh well, I'm sure it will be safe...
Enjoy the rest of your week, I know I will!

Happenings
My granny is in the Lodge in Lanigan now. They might have to move her to Strausbourg next Friday. I sure hope not.
So far, RISK has been not happening, and I am a little frustrated. We have hit a snag in our Drama plan for after Christmas, we need a director, and we don't want a student. I'm worried if we get a student there would always be an issue were some people wouldn't listen becasue they were peers and not leaders or something along those lines. Christmas plans are in full swing here, and all seems cheery. I don't know if I can handle another two weeks of school though...
Other than that, things seem normal. I don't have anything shocking to report. It is kind of boring in Lanigan.
Oh yah! There is only like sixty days to Europe! I am getting pumped!

Hmm, November Feelings
Greetings,
I am kind of fluctuating in my mood lately, I am happy, at school I am hoping to get a drama play together this year seeing as how our school's drama department is seriously lacking. I believe there is a teacher on board with the idea, so I hope to work it out. I realize it is a lot of work, but if there are students who are dedicated to it I think I should do it.
I am sad because my Granny had a stroke. She had one 8 years ago and recovered well, but she is now no longer 79, she is 87, and that can make a big difference. She seems to be getting better, but has taken to trying to escape. I hope she'll be back to her old fiery self soon.
So my mood has been happy, to sad, to angry; I think I am going crazy. Eventually I'll have to channel my insanity towards RISK, but for now, I have to bottle it up inside!

RISK! RISK! RISK!
RISK! Finally I had enough. It was time for a RISK Tourny! I hosted, It was super awesome. There were tacos and movies, plus we played RISK twice. I was happier than I have been for a while. All in all, RISK this year is far better than RISK last year. Someone else has to host next time though!

Rantings and Stuff
Yah! We finally finshed combining! It took forever. Finally!
Well, not much has happened here since Oct. 15th, but I will start that blog I promised, The Search for the Perfect Girl. Do you even remember? I just did, so here it goes.
Apparantly there is a perfect girl for me out there. Don't know who, but perhaps... Pauline Brenner from Red Water Alberta? She apparantly is everything I want for a girlfriend, but I don't know if she is real. My friend, Chantelle knew her at her old school, so she told me Thursday. Apparantly, she is everything I would want... But perhaps too perfect? I don't know. But now I am rambling, so I'll stop.
RISK is having a difficult time getting started. I missed the first day of RISK because of career fair, which was interesting. But I realize I must look like a dealer or something because one kid there asked me if I knew where to get some pot.... I was shocked, and replied, "No, Sorry." which made no sense because I wasn't sorry at all. That was strange.
But anyway, back to RISK. That day only one person showed up because everyone was at career fair in S'toon. Well, we don't know when we wil;l ahve RISK, but hopefully it starts soon. There is no more chaos or darkness left in our school! It is a modern tragedy when I can't tell my insane schemes to conquer the world to a group of closely trusted confidants who share my passion! It is outrageous!
Well, I got facebook, and gave in to "the power" Who am I to resist trends?

Lookin' Up
Lately, I have been a little on edge. I have been grumpy and snappy, but now I feel better.
One reason is that I decided to make the best of being the youth leader at our church rather than looking at the downside of that job. I am afraid we won't get any Catholic Youth, mainly because they've been ignored for so long. We have incredible support from the congregaton of the church though, and maybe we can pull it off!
Another reason for my new attitude is that, like the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, the Drama Teacher never stays more than one year. There is hope for drama next year!
After numerous break-downs in the field, we finally repaired all the equipment that was out of comission. Memorable moments from those:
1. When the grain truck fell off the blocks that was holding it up while I was under it. It scared me half to death!
2. Pulling the combine out of a sinkhole with the tractor. My dad managed to drive straight into the mud.
3. Crawling on the straw walkers and unplugging the beater.
(Too hard to explain on the internet, hard on the knees, though)
4. The icing on the cake? The wheel on the combine fell off in the middle of the field!
Hey Mrs. Wiens! If you were here, leave the price of your mustang!
