So it's been over 3 years now that I've been in Canada, and my life has changed so much. I've experienced so many things people would never even dream about doing in their life. I've lived in three different countries, traveled to 10 different countries, been to many different cities, and met amazing people.
Usually the first thing people noticed when i was here was my accent, or the way i dressed... giving it away that i wasn't really from here.
But now... I'm kind of fitting in, my accent is fading - but i can always bring it back and surprise people. But it's kind of sad that it's going away. It was kinda unique you know. It made me different, and lets be honest, people loved it.
I could always try speaking in it more often, but still... It won't fully come back.
I'm hoping to visit England again soon. To see my family, and my friends.
It's been 3 long years since I've seen them.
It's sad that i didn't actually tell most of my friends in school that i was moving to Canada. It was so spontaneous. I never really got to say goodbye properly.
And i have to admit it.
But i miss it.

Total Relaxation
The skies are clear, not a cloud in sight. The sounds of waves rolling up and down the beach fill my ears. I slight breeze cools my body. The ocean's scent fills my nose; a scent i have not experienced in a while. My hands lie softly on the sand, caressing each sand grain between my fingers.
Total relaxation.
That would be great right now. Not a single thing to care about, and no exams or school to be seen. If only...

Summer
Well, there's two weeks of school left, and i haven't made a single plan for summer. I'm really hoping I don't have a tragically boring summer, stuck inside crying at the misfortune of what I call My Life...
Maybe I'll get a membership at the YMCA and start exercising more.
Yeah that's not going to happen...
I'm swearing to myself that I'm going to have an amazing summer, but even that seems like I'm setting myself up for failure. What am I to do?

Rocks > My Parents
So, I recently came to a conclusion that my parents are brainwashed by rocks. They have the mental capacity of one anyway...
That is all.
That is all.

10 Rules of Life
| 1. | You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period. |
| 2. | You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life." |
| 3. | There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work." |
| 4. | Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson. |
| 5. | Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned. |
| 6. | "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here." |
| 7. | Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself. |
| 8. | What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours. |
| 9. | Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust. |
| 10. | You will forget all this. |

Cancelled
Oh Connor, how was your weekend?!
Well you see, i made many plans for the whole weekend only for them to be crushed and cancelled at the last minute! So that kinda ruined the whole weekend.
Oh that sucks Connor. What did you do then?
Sat in my sauna of a house, dying of heat.... studying.... and watching every harry potter while eating a tub of ice-cream....
