Looks Like I'm Not Going To Burnaby North

I Just Got Home From The Dermatologist


Today I went to the dermatologist to check out this weird "rash like thing" (as my mom puts it) on the sides of my face. But I had to get there earlier because my mom and my grandma were also going to visit some other doctors. Overall the visit was kind of exciting, but when I got home, I received a shock.

No Burnaby North = No Friends At All


So when I got home, my dad told me that I had received a letter from Burnaby North saying that I was unable to go to their school because they "projected" they would not have enough room for me.

The reason why this really upsets me is because I kind of had a hope that at Burnaby North I would have SOME friends at least (a few of my friends were going), but at Alpha, I will have absolutely no friends.

To be truthful, I really believed that I had a good chance of getting into Burnaby North. I imagined taking classes with my friends there and also joining the awesome extracurricular courses they held there. I imagined that after school I would walk home with friends or even head over to their house. I had a lot of hope put into Burnaby North.

So it looks like I'm going to Alpha.

The reason why I'm not exactly the hugest fan of Alpha is because, well, Burnaby North had a lot more opportunities for me. They had more AP courses and their sports programs looked awesome. And Alpha hasn't exactly been the best school in Burnaby lately.

I was invited by the letter to register next year at Burnaby North, but I'm not exactly sure what will happen after one year at Alpha... will I make new friends and want to stay there? Will I still stay in contact with my other Burnaby friends?  I seriously don't know.

But I guess I just got to let the future be the future.

See You In The Next Post

I'm in a really sulky mood right now, so I'm going to go play some games to put my mind off things (sure that's why you're playing games Kevin =P).

Because of the letter, the day so far is probably a 6. Still not feeling that great about going to Alpha and I hope by some miracle I do end up in Burnaby North.
