Woah Baby!


Someone's having a baby right now! Probably someone most of you reading this don't know. She's a teacher in my high school that I've never had actually, but we've had many good baby conversations and looked at many ultrasound pictures over the past nine months. It seems like it's gone by so fast and here it is! I haven't heard very recently, but an hour ago she was still in labor. Everyone thinks it's a boy and even I can best picture them having a boy, BUT she's carrying SO high. Doesn't that mean girl? And isn't that often a correct prediction? I don't know really, but I feel like going against the mainstream and saying: I think it's going to be a girl!. I could be totally wrong, but just maybe I have a special intuition about this ;)
Dave is away with the boys this week. He and I think four of his friends left Sunday afternoon and headed for Toronto Ontario. They planned on going to a Red Sox-Blue Jays game, but just before they left they found out they could get into a second game for two bucks! So instead of coming back Tuesday, they'll be coming back late Wednesday night. They decided to got to Toronto rather than Boston because game prices at Fenway are crazy, but in Toronto they were really cheap. They group is mostly Americans I think, so it's kind of funny that they are going a farther distance to go see the Boston Red Sox in Canada!

Anyways, I miss Dave.


Today my mom and I are going to pick up my prom dress and my dress for the night before dinner. I am really excited to have everything all ready and organized for this crazy week of prom and graduation and finishing school. I really liked my prom dress when I got it, but now I am not so crazy about it. Oh well. I love my other one. It's black and sassy and it's SO comfy. Usually comfy= doesn't look very good, but I feel pretty good in this one. My mom hasn't seen it yet, so I guess I have to get the ok from her before anything is final ;)
My parents gave our second car to my brother to take to Indiana for his internship, so right now we only have one car. We're getting another one sometime this week, but it's been hectic having only one in this busy week. My mom takes it everyday to work and doesn't get home until five, so I'm having a hard time finding time to get to the gym. I have a huge group final assessment project that we have to do every evening this week, so if I can't get to the gym before supper it's probably not going to happen. So that's my vehicle frustration.
Yesterday I decided to start eating healthier. Much healthier actually. Those of you that read my other blog on myspace probably remember me doing the Daniel Fast which consists of eating only fruits, vegetables, flax, oil, nuts, and pure juices. I did that for ten days last year and it really made me feel a lot better and I had way more energy. It was really hard, though cause your options are very limited. So, I am going to do my own version of the Daniel Fast. I am doing mostly the same thing except I am allowing granola, small amounts of dairy and probably a light salad dressing. NO MEAT! My family is definately a meat eating family. If any of my extended family is reading this, you know cause we're all the same. We love our meat and potatoes!
So I have five days of school left now. Its exciting but surprisingly sad. I don't think I am quite at the scared stage, but I am seeing everyday as the " last this" and "last that". Like we only have one more Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and then Monday and Tuesday. So each of these days will come with all of their quirks for the last time in my high school career. There's a lot of people I am going to severely miss.(I'm very happy that Dave is no longer going to be on that list). There's those everyday people that aren't my closest friends, but I see them at certain points in the hall, in certain classes, and at specific times every single day. It'll be so weird not to see their faces so frequently and consistently. And these are the people that I am not likely to keep in touch with. Small bit of sadness in this happy and exciting time.
I am still really looking forward to our girls trip to PEI. I think it's just been to busy to really talk about it and plan anything, but it'll be great. Not to mention that I'll get to see my Nana and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. I love them all so much and I wishI could see them so much more than I do. It'll be a great week.
I need to go spend some time with Oprah now....it's been forever since we've had quality time! You know you're too busy when you can't seem to make time for Oprah!!!
Anyways...I hope all is well with each of you during the onset of the summer season :)
Until next time!

Hi!
I was surfing the web and I reached your blog...
I 've two questions for you.
forst of all: how many languages do you know? and the second one is: why would you like to study psychology?
Thanks for your answer!

Hi!
You're right, I have been really busy. Thanks for commenting on my blog! I really only speak English. I've taken french all my life in school, but I wouldn't say that I am fluent. Psychology has always interested me. I love people and helping people. I like to listen and I love to learn and understand the mind. Psychology can go in a lot of different directions as far as occupations and I am not exactly sure what I want to do yet, but probably something in the counselling area.

I hoped you were able to understand Italian... too hard!
doesn't matter!!
I study psychoogy in Torino (were olympic winter games took place...)
and afpter 4 yesrs studing i understand that you don't have to study MIND but you have to study PEOPLE...the way they use their mind in everyday life contingency... may be strange at the beginning but you'll agreee with me in a couple of years!!

my, brother, I and other 10 friends have created a storical group hand we try to live like in middle ages... last night we had a show in Milan and we all danced with fire-stick with medieval dresses.. cool!!
