I exist! ... just barely...
So November is going to be a crazy high-velocity train (Why train? Trains aren't fast!) ride in every way, shape, and form! I've got:
Biology: Cell respiration and photosynthesis unit test - But I don't get it! 2 page essay on a famous scientist.
English: Independent Novel Study Analysis, Culminating Activity, Poetry Analysis Essay, Hamlet reading and Essays about Hamlet reading.
Spanish: Reading short stories and answering questions... but I don't get those either.
Scholarships: Queen's University scholarships due Dec 1. This is the big one this is the one my hope is riding on. This is my chance to say - I deserve this opportunity. Do you think I've been able to write a single word? You bet your bunions not!
Plus work, school, youth group volunteering, eating, sleeping, socializing, preparing for Christmas, whatever else comes between now and then, and most importantly (isn't the scholarship most important?) - NaNoWriMo!!
I told the guy who sits behind me in science why I was so tired and the next day he asked: "So how's the Novembook coming?" I thought it had a nice ring - Novembook.
Anyway so my point is, I should probably be doing anything but this at this moment. Oh well!
Here's the link if you wanna check out my story... yeah, it's super great.

Writing it is fun, though I know it sucks. The more I write the harder the story fights to express itself through my unworthy fingertips.
I see Trav has put up a wish list on his blog... what the heck, I will too! Mom's been bugging me about it.
- Cell Phone - Oh the misunderstandings I've gone through without one!
- Jump drive - it turns out my nice 4GB drive died it worked just a few hours before...
- Bras - though last time they all sucked so maybe just money for bras, 36D just in case
- Um, cool nice-fitting clothes... or money for them Medium shirts generally, pants - dunno
- Shoes - I love high-heels but I need new black sneakers like I use now, 8 wide give or take
- Stuff one needs for dorm/university life
- The final Pendragon book!
- Any Miazaki films, Ponyo and Spirited Away (cuz it broke somehow) especially
- Nakama 1a b and 2 second edition - University Textbook for learning Japanese for A.P. (buy used)
- Golly Gee! I dunno ask Jess!
There, that's all I can think of.
"But Cara, you spoke of your undergarments on a public blog!"
Yeah well, deal!
I better go - secure the rest of my future or something... :P
Love,
Cara
P.S. I am so thuroughly and inappropriately excited for Christmas! I want my family back!
But thinking about how not to fail on presents again this year is stressing me out!
Can't wait to see you all again on the holidays!
