well dudes- since i last posted life has been stuck at kind of a stand still, it doesn't feel like anything really has changed- but i konw that lots has
first weekend of the summer vaca my parents went away and i had a party- it was supposed to be pretty small- like around 75 at the most in my head kinda thing-- but no wrod got out and camping trips got cancled and yeah- upwards of 200 ppl came - i was a mess- i didn't drink ( thank god) but i was really nervous the whole time and couldn't just chill and enjoy myself, the breaking point of the evening occured on my glass in circled back deck- two guys started fighting and a few more joined in lots of ppl just stood around and watched - but me being me decided that i was going to throw a spaz- i jumped into the middle of things started yelling at everyone to get out- and ended up getting punched in the face< just about my top lip on the left hand side. > yeah - so the party got broken up after that- thanks to a lot of help from my friends < who also cleaned up my kitchen and helped me out in SO many ways>
the next major event was going to world youth day in toronto- it was crazy- there were alot of ppl and all the locals were really friendly and i ran into ppl from vancouver that i never see here < it felt so weird knowing that we had to travel to ontario to see each other> i saw the pope- twice - about a meter and a half away, it was great-
it also wasn't- we were sleeping on the floor in an elementary school- my group was lucky enough to be in the kindergarden room - which entitled us to our own toliet and sink- instead of having to share with 150 odd other girls, then on top of that the food was well cooked, nutritious - but hard to get and un plentiful, and really rather bland. alot of ppl in my group ended up getting sick or ingured- four of us couldn't walk to the park to see the pope- we took a taxi- and by some strange mericle were let thru all the police road blocks until we got to the site hospital- i was the second person to be registared in the hospital and i was suffering from manourishment, dehydration, exhaustion, some kind of chest/ throat virus, nausea, and to top thigs off i had extreme menstral cramps- sucks to have your body hate you eh?
we also took a week to tour around montreal, quebec city and ottawa- all beautiful cities with history- and lots of brick- i really enjoyed them i hope to return on my own in a few years
since i have returned i have met up with "old" friends, met some new ones, and been confused everyother step of the way
