I like school and I like learning, but this year is a little ridiculous. I though I had a lot of homework in grade 11, but grade 12 brings a whole new meaning to homework. Taking four APs is a lot of work, being Head of House is a lot of work and when you put them together.... its, well...a lot of work. Then there are University applications to be done, personal statements to be written, and scholarships to be applied for. It is a stressful year!
At least there are only 7.5 months left. Which is actually crazy to think about, in less than 10 months I am going to be done high school for ever. SMUS has been my home for the past 3 years, it seems so strange that I will fill out my last "leave form" in June, that I will never be on "duty" again or fight for the remote in the common room. I will eat my last meal in Brown Hall, sleep for the last time in Timmis house; my SMUS life will vanish in 7.5 months. It is Crazy.
Peace like a river,

It is about time!
I guess it is about time I do another post, I guess it is about time I do a post about the disease that almost destroyed my life.
I had Lyme Disease, or I did in the US at least, apparently it doesn't exist in Canada. Apparently ticks can't cross the border? Well, I had lyme disease. It sucked big time, like big time. I spent my entire grade 10 year throwing up, going to doctors and being told it was all in my head. It wasn't in my head, I wish it was, I really do because that would of been an easy fix.
I didn't eat for about 8 months...well I did...it just well...you know was always counter productive. My hands and feet were numb, I was exhausted all the time, I had constant pain in my stomach, shooting nerve pains and headaches. Finally, somebody accepted my lyme diagnosis and treated me with IV anti-biotics.
I have always wanted to be a doctor - despite the fact many left me for dead and almost killed me - I still want to be a doctor. I want to be the doctor who cares, the one who has empathy for the pain of their patients and tries their best to do everything they can to make that person well again.
There it is, my lyme story in a peanut shell.
