Basically, I know I haven't posted in a LONG time- so I'm very very sorry about that, but about Illinois, it was super fun and I'm about to post it, but I wanted to tell people that I am finally out of school and really excited! I can't wait to just sleep in and hang out with friends all summer...of course we are moving too! That isn't so fun, but at least it's not to a different country. We have to move to a different suburb in the Halifax area, but we are petitioning to stay at the school we went to last year.
I am very sad to let the nineth graders go from MSMS to CPA and I'll miss them like hell!! I can't imagine it without them because they are so cool!
I also think that I'm going to go into nineth grade next year instead of eighth like I normally would be for multiple reasons... Not only is it because the academics will be just chalenging enough for me in nineth grade, but also because, as I have friends going into eighth, nineth, and tenth grade- the tenth graders going off to CPA high school, I would be able to see my friends that were in my grade last year during our lunch periods and during our breaks, etc...I would get to see my friends going into nineth grade being in their grade, but I would also get to see my friends that are going into high school a year sooner ( which is a good thing).
I pretty much have my mind made up about moving up a grade, but Sandbox, I believe wishes to stay going into eighth grade, and my parents basically want us to stay together, so it won't work out to everybody's liking if it goes any way. I am POSITIVE that I do want to go into nineth grade, but Sandbox and Plug don't want us to be separated. I DON'T CARE THOUGH!! I have it all planned out!!
Putting that aside, we had school awards the other day on the last full day of school, (which was Wednesday), and I won and Academics award for being the top in the class, or something like that, which, I guess, is pretty cool.
Also on Wednesday (night) I went to Semi-formal with a friend and had a BLAST!! Oh! It was very VERY fun!!
I went to to people's parties on Friday- one, just for it being the last day of school...and we hung out for 8 hours...it was pretty awesome while we had a TON of people there- some eighth, nineth, and tenth graders too!! It was pretty cool!! The other party was a friend's birthday party! It was also a very good party and I had a LOT of fun!! I go to see a lot of people and I had a great time!! Again, I am very sad to leave all my friends for the summer, especially those going to high school in the fall, but I hope I can see a lot of friends over the summer and have a lot of fun with them.
I have to go now, but I'll post soon!

WOW! I don't know where to begin to comment, ask questions, etc. So, I'll just organize it in my own way.
"Pretty cool" is a very modest comment for being top o' the class. YES! YES! YES! Not only for you but a giant step for the U.S. and it's respect in the world. We needed that.
I definitely understand Sandbox's reluctance to move out of the comfort zone, but your life and his will both be served better in the long run with more challenge now. Life gets so much more involved, intricate, perplexing as you get older; if you don't learn to face challenges while in the comfort of family, it's very difficult later on. You and Sandbox will be adding building blocks to your minds and your character as you move up an extra grade.
Your parties sounded great. Pardon me for being the picky grandmother, but the correct spelling is "ninth". Is it different in Canada? I am confused about the dissemination of students to eighth, ninth, and tenth grades. What is the cut-off for middle school vs. high school there?
Moving again has got to be a real bummer, but I hope your family can find something reasonable in size and cost. And yes, a few miles vs. changing countries has got to be a plus. Hope you still have some of those boxes.
Everything I've heard from people who have visited NS is that it is most beautiful, and I hope you are having, or will have this summer, an opportunity to grow an appreciation for the countryside. Your blog sounded as if you've developed an appreciation for your new friends, and I love that. Here's an old lady's wisdom byte: There are people to appreciate and love wherever you go so long as YOU are willing to appreciate and love.
You've cheered me up immensely. It's great to hear something positive from up there. Take care and have a terrific vacation from school. Tell Rake to let us know how things are going
in documentary world.
Love hearing from you.
Love YOU even more.
XOXOXOXO
