Last weekend was like a mini holiday for me though. We went over to a cottage in the middle literally in the middle of nowhere. The cottage is our host-fathers sisters cottage and we drove there with snowmobiles, because there is no other way to get there. The trails were pretty rough and the ride was long, but it was all worth the effort. Like I have already mentioned before I am a total city person, but I love spending time out in the woods completely isolated from the rest of the world. The weather wasn't the best on Saturday so we spent a big part of the day inside, but that didn't matter. The camp was great and the company even better. In the afternoon the heating of the sauna began and I was jumping up the walls! Right before dinner we went to the sauna with Emma and I was in heaven. After the sauna we had dinner and not long after that we were back in there throwing some more water on the rocks. Only down side of cottages are the outhouses. I hate using them so even with the -24C weather I decided to just go outside, despite the others making fun of me and teasing me about it.
On Sunday we headed back to town and it was time to study. It was kind of a bummer and not the best way to end a great weekend, but oh well it had to be done. I had two tests last week and a deadline for a history presentation. Both of my tests went well, but my presentation was a bit rocky. I stumbled on words and stuttered pretty badly, but oh well. I've had a few other presentations before too that went better than the last one.
Last week went by very slowly, but still it seemed like I barely had time to get everything done. Now I finally can just kick back and relax. Tonight we don't have big plans. We're having a couple friends over and we are just gonna relax.
Yesterday night we went to watch a hockey game where a team that consisted of old legends from the NHL team Montreal Canadians and I literally took 700 pictures of them. I was just snapping photos like crazy, so I have to sort them out now to find the good ones.
After March break we have to start practicing for our musical. I have a small singing part, I'll be dancing in the Thriller dance and I have two lines in one scene. I am actually very pleased with my parts, because its not too much so I am not overwhelmed, but still I get to be a part of the play. Events like these are perfect, because Emma and I get to participate in them. It brings people closer and it makes me realize how the people in our school are like a big family. That is one of the advantages of a small school in a small community. Just yesterday I was reminded of this. We were watching the game and a lot of people from our school were there, including one of the most adorable little boy from 6th grade. I was snapping pictures and he just came right next to me and started talking to me with his cute little french accent. It made me really happy because it is sweet to see how you can pretty much talk to anyone in our school, without anyone thinking its weird.
All I have planned for the coming week is a trip to Timmins, and just relaxing with the family and Riley. Now I finally also have time to go the gym. Oh tread-mill how I have missed you!
