Hi everyone!!! Here I am in Indianapolis! I had a hell of a time getting here...Air Canada cancelled our flight and didn't tell us, so we flew to Chicago, then here. And then they lost my luggage!! But now I'm all settled in. My parents are going home today. My floor is all international people, the only one who speaks fluent english is a really nice girl from South Africa. Noone speaks either language I speak except for one Spanish guy I think, so I'm out of luck. But I am practicing my French. The rest have no idea what is going on, but they're all really nice and we stick together. They're from Japan, Germany, Vietnam, China, France, Argentina, Spain...no Canadians. But I really like it here though. I'm so happy I'm taking ballet classes again.
We had orientation on Friday and went paddle boating and walked around downtown yesterday. Classes start on Wednesday. Part of the curriculum is a mandatory science class, so I'm taking beginner biology!! :-s I'm really nervous for all of my classes though. And I'm kind of sad today too...I don't have any regrets, but I'm still so nervous!! Any advice is greatly appreciated. I really miss Taz. I'm going to cry!! Anyhoo I have to go but I will post more later. Go out clubbing for me everyone!! And enjoy Toronto, I miss is like crazy. Wish me luck!! Ciao Ciao, Bianca |

Yesterday was quite the emotional day for most of us. I will miss a few of you terribly, even if you won't miss me. I can't believe Sean cried; I never thought I'd see that. I think Serena and I were the only girls not crying at one point or another; right now graduation isn't even on my mind. 19 days and I'm back where I belong. There have been ups and downs, but overall this school, with the exception of some people, has been a fab experience, even though sometimes I wish I hadn't come here at all. That is all. The real goodbye speech comes after grad ceremony. Ciao ciao.

Now that I've somewhat calmed down... I can't believe it. I was having sooooo much fun before the window breaking escapades. There I was in the lobby, putting the finishing touches on the astroturf with Serena and Greg to find out that a window (or three) are broken. I've never seen so many long, downtrodden faces in my life. No spirit assembly=not worth coming to school per me.Plus I got home at like, 2. No way in hell my parents were going to drive me back for 7 am. Did you guys get lectured? What happened? Do tell. Anyhoo, I'm off for my Nonna's house. Call cell. Ciao ciao tutti. Ps-Christine, still waiting for my 20 and Babsi for my 10. Vite, vite!!

for last night. I could have done sooooooo much better in my pointe dance in the purple dress. I failed you guys. My last show and I let everyone down! I'm so sorry! I hope you are not too dissapointed in me. Anyhoo, buona notte tutti. |
|
|
My first show is tonight! I am sooo nervous, not for tonight but for the show on the 28th...kill me now! It is my last show ever, and what if I fall on my ass or mess up, blank out, drop my cape...there are so many things that could go wrong, and knowing my luck, it will happen to me. I. Am. So. Scared. I am going to look like the bad dancer I am. I can see it now. BOOM. Flat on my face. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! HELP! |

Chris: $10 Christine: $20 Kristina: $20 Again, Leah Posluns Theatre on Bathurst at 7pm sharp...I open the show, so do not be late! Thanks again! Ok, so...question. What is ugly Lindsay Lohan doing with the God of fashion, Valentino? To quote her..."I mean, I like, love Valentino. I wore him once to the Mean Girls premiere." Okay then. What is with celebrities who think they know everything there is to know about clothes? Who try to design their own accessory or clothing lines aimed at teens like us but fail MISERABLY at it? Why are celebrities ugly faces staring out at us from fashion magazines? There should be models on the covers...a model on the cover of a fashion magazine?! Gasp! Who would have thought? Celebrities are wrecking the North American fashion industry, more so American than Canadian. The Europeans, once again, have us beat. Who agrees/disagrees? Anyhoo...I'm off, I'll write more later. Ciao Ciao.
 God, she's ugly. Someone please fire her hairdresser. The dress is gorgroeus, but it wears her, she doesn't wear it. Thoughts? Chris, please don't kill me, I know you love her!!

OMG. I'm actually so sad right now...the pope died yesterday while I was in dance class doing the can can! I knew he was going to die and in a way, its good because he's been suffering for so long but he will be dearly missed. I remember when I went to see him at Downsview in 2002. I got up at 2 am with my Nonna and my Zia, took the subway, walked in the rain alongside a bunch of other people, just so we could attempt to get as close to him as possible. Good times. On Friday my Nonna decided I should come to church with her too, to light a candle for him. I really don't know what else to say, except that I'm really sad...I almost feel like I've lost a friend. So who is going to the dance on Friday?? I hope I can go, I really want to, if alot of my friends are going too! I need the book "The Girl With A Pearl Earring" for my english isp...I was wondering if anyone had it so that I could borrow it instead of buying it? I promise I'll love you forever and take good care of it!! Anyhoo, I'm off but I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and I'll see you tommorow...if this snowy blizzard at my house ever stops! Ciao ciao.
