YAY, I´m SOOOO from British Columbia... minus the Birkenstocks and the socks in the sandals. Oh , and I thought Kamloops was cereal and not a city. My bad, I confused it with Fruit Loops. Many loops.
Oh my, today was my second last day of high school. I´m completely and utterly NOT amused. This is actually the first time I´m really not looking forward to holidays. It means I have to go back to JERKMANY pretty soon. In 4 weeks, minus 5 hours I´ll already be on teh plane. Okay. Please excuse me while I go freak out. No offense folks, but I´d rather stay here and just visit Germany once in while. People are so negative and rude. So not fun.
Anywayz, finally the weather got better again. Going to Demi´s tomorrow after school -a nd after we get our yearbooks. I´m excited for those! Like, REALLY excited!
Okay, anywayz I wanna go have a shower!
