Here I am! Sorry for the wait, I had a lot of things to do…really! It’s the beginning of the summer vacations but I’m still very busy, although it’s not with school stuff. In the past 3 days I’ve been all around town, there was seriously no stopping. How about I go back to the last exam day so I can really show you how my life has been CRAZY (okay maybe not that much but you get the point).
That faithful Thursday; my very last exam day as well as my very last day in my 10th grader life. I had my French exam (best for last…no joke). It was relatively easy, but super long. I was halfway done with part 1 (we had 2 parts) when my teacher screamed out that we only had 40 minutes left. I seriously thought I was screwed. But in the end I guess I underestimated myself since I was the first to finish. That doesn’t happen very often, but French is my best subject. Either way, when I left the class for the last time my teacher gave me this HUGE smile. I was really surprised, usually she’s bitchy but this time she actually looked calm and relieved. I guess summer vacations apply for everybody, not only student. I then proceeded to take the last of my stuff from my locker; I closed my lock for the last time before two months. Since I was the first one to finish I was kind of left alone on the school’s patio, waiting for fellow classmates to arrive (I did talk with other people, duh, but I was waiting for the people with whom I’m closer). Finally a few of my friends came along, one in particular who is leaving our school next year. She was explaining how she took out all of her locker decoration one by one, and then locked her locker for the very last time. Saying it like this sounds so boring but when she was talking it was really nostalgic; made me feel kind of weird.

There I was, free from school, teachers, homework, projects, exams, friends? Would this mean I would be isolated for the rest of the summer? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, there’s no end of the year without a little bit of hanging out "after-hours". A couple of friends and I went downtown to celebrate…wait…what did we celebrate? I mean, we did wish happy birthday (really late) to one of our classmate who is heading back to British-Columbia next year. But then it’s the beginning of summer…ah well, I guess it was just a big mix of different celebrations. We ate at this awesome restaurant. I was really hesitant at first when I was looking at the menu since there were two completely different dishes which really interested me, one very plain dish and the other one a tad classy. In the end I told myself that I shouldn’t stay in my comfort zone and simply go with plain old alfredo pasta, so I chose to order this magnificent dish which was named Funghi e Prosciutto, which presented penne tossed with wild mushrooms, fresh rosemary and spanish onions in a white wine cream sauce topped with prosciutto. As if that didn’t sound like enough, I was full after only a few bites. It was seriously one of the best nights of my life; I had never smiled and laughed to the point where my mouth would literally hurt. After our terrific dinner we decided to head to Candy Mountain. I had never really entered in such a store before, I had heard about it but never personally experienced it. It’s quite an experience; you find every single piece of candy, no kidding. They were even some REAL scorpions wrapped in candy as well as deep fried worms in a box. I really wonder if they even sell those things.
Usually I’m looking forward to Friday’s, at least when it comes to school. But this Friday was quite cloudy and I was kind of forced to stay inside to do some house cleaning (more like INTENSE room cleaning). It’s profitable, now my room looks spick and span, but I think it’s a waste of time. Em came over in the afternoon; we had until close to midnight together since we needed to go get my brother at school at that time (he was coming back from Toronto). We watched Mr and Mrs Smith. I have so much DVDs at home but I haven’t watch the ¾ of them, sadly. It’s actually a good film, outdated but good. When it came close to eleven I peeked outside and I was the country summer sky filled with stars. Em lives in the city so she never actually saw millions of stars all at once. It was breathtaking. All those theories about the universe and all…it’s quite a mind game…makes you realize at what point the world is small.

Little parenthesis, I was watching TV while cleaning my room (not very efficient) and it came to my attention that PEPSI has indeed changed its logo. It’s like the end of the world! It’s like talking the golden arch away from McDonald’s (EWWW), it’s a world-wide classic. Good job for the designers at PEPSI, they managed to modernise the logo by adding these angles but is it really going to work? I mean, the old red, white, blue circly thing stays PEPSI’s original logo. My theory is, and this theory could be proven, that Pepsi (I’m tired of writing it in capital letters) is loosing it’s clientele to Dr. Pepper. Haven’t you seen all of their new TV adds with Dr. Dre (I don’t know how to write his name) and they are driving around town with these trucks that are loaded with free drinks. They stop at schools on a regular basis to do some promotion and let me just tell you that it really works. That’s why Pepsi changed its logo, to bring back the clientele.
Last but not least, today is Saturday. There isn’t much going on around here; it’s quite a gloomy day. I learned earlier this evening that my grandmother is going to go to the hospital really soon, I hope it’s not swine flu. Now I’m stuck at home, doing nothing and I think it’s going to rain anytime soon. I’m being called for dinner now, I’m leaving.
I kept my promise; I now upload my pictures in a bigger format.
