This time next week...

Well, at this time next week, I will be on my way to Ghana! Yup, that is right, one more week.

The only problem is... I am having trouble to with the current pain medication I am taking. It is causing more pain than it is alleviating. Not the best time for this to be happening!!!!!

Excitement

Okay, so I just realized that today is March 1st! What does that mean? That means I am going to Ghana in 10 days! Just 10 days!! ...I'm already packed. I am so excited, but in a way that is not regular excited. It is the same kind of excited feeling that I had before the day I moved into my dorm room at boarding school. It is a nervous kind of excited, mixed with an I can't wait kind of excited, mixed with this is going to change my life excited. I don't know if that made any sense, it is hard to explain.

The concussion that I am still recovering from, plus the nerve pain drugs, plus being super excited to to go to Ghana is making concentrating on my school work very difficult! But hey, tonight I managed to finish the math take home test, even though there are questions on it that we were not supposed be able to do...I did them. And I got all caught up on my calculus homework...which is amazing because I suck at calculus and I generally don't understand my homework. And now I am going to read a head in chemistry, and study for my bio test...and I am jittering with anxious, nervous, life changing excitement.

Peace like a river!

P.E.

In theory, you would think that as the older you get, the more difficult PE would be come, but as as I sit here and try and do my math homework, I am distracted by the middle school students running around the driveway. When I think back to my grade 10 and 11 PE class, I don't think we ran nearly as much as these 8th graders have to.

Just some pointless musings...and a way for me to not do math. (I'm not a big fan of identities...).

Off to calculus!
