Otherwise, things went well. The weather is shitty, which makes my hips hurt, plus I hadn't eaten in a while, so I made my workout on the shorter end today, but still within my acceptable range. Had my Spanish homework done, got not only all the points but the bonus on the Spanish vocabulary quiz, peer edited somebody's paper in English that made me confident that mine was at least the second-worst in the class, and (since I didn't really have anything to do during my free periods since I won't be there tomorrow) read a lot of fic in my breaks.

When I got home, the phone was ringing off the hook, which was annoying as all get out, but it turned out to be a school about a scholarship I got (it was a bit embarrassing there, though, as she was like "So you're in, and you got our highest scholarship!" and I was all "Thanks! *recalls applying to your school but cannot remember where you are or if there was any particular reason why I did so*" and then the people from the car place telling me that I should have the car back by late Tuesday afternoon. Plus, turns out that the chicken that was in the fridge yesterday was saved for me, so I had a salad for dinner and that was good. Andplusagain, I'd asked Dad to get one kind of ice cream a few days back, which it turned out the store he went to didn't have, but he went out and bought me the fat-free minty ice cream sandwiches I wanted and picked up some caramel rice cakes at the same time yesterday, so yay for healthy non-health food.

I'm going to be at school for our awards breakfast tomorrow, then leaving for this health fair thing, which I'm excited about. On both counts. And then a dinner and awards thing (not actually awards for me, but they want our group of awardy-people to parade around for the younger persons so they can say "this is what you must be") on Wednesday night which is also cool.

And LOLOLZ, this teacher thing is hard. I just spent about an hour and a half typing up a 4-page test for my dad's class (because they added things and moved them around and such). I wanted to just scan in the bits that didn't need changed (as there were large blocks that did not), but I figured that it would take about the same amount of time fussing with the scanner as typing it. I was wrong. The formatting's the hard part. How much space do you leave for the answers? Stuff like that.

Speaking of the weather. Just a letter to the people who plow the roads:

Dear Road Plower People.
Did you decide that plowing the roads that lead to my house was for losers or something? Fail.

When Sue picked me up from school today and took me to the shopping centre for a Cocoa Loco (ie. mocha frappe) for me and white chocolate frappe for herself from Gloria Jean's, she was like, "I'm going to have to run for hours on the treadmill to get rid of this!" and it was both strange and wonderful. And reading this reminded me of that.
Though, the amazingness of her body (considering she's gotta be at least late thirties) intimidates me and makes me reluctant to share any of my own body insecurities. She was a dancer (and I think still is), and she's got the whole tall, long-legged, beautifully proportioned, well-muscled thing happening. And I feel incredibly squat and pudgy despite my 168cm/63kg. Which still leaves me somewhat pudgy in certain areas.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SCHOLARSHIP BB!
I get the embarrassed thing, though differently. When I got the scholarship to my old high school my mum decided not to tell me when she picked me up from year seven that afternoon, but to come to the door and announce to the class that I got it. Whoopee!

Thanks! Turns out it wasn't quite as good as I'd thought (when I looked it up, I was all "W00t, all but $8k!", but the number I was looking at for the tuition was per semester, sadly), but it's still nice. I'm kinda failing on the college front so far, having only applied to two other places, so it's nice to get my options broadened a bit.
