Just Stuff

Save Dudley

Logging onto Facebook, I was greeted by two notifications. One from a clan that I played with (the typical weird stuff they put up), and the other one, an invitation to join a group (interestingly named) "Save Dudley". Of course I already knew about the whole cause, having the person who started this group discuss ideas with me beforehand.

The short version of this whole story is that our band teacher, Mr. Dudley, will be moving over to Mountain (or something) next year. He started the music program at Alpha seven years ago and now it's grown exponentially. While all of us were quite sad that he was leaving, one student decided to stand up against it and look up some things. She ended up discovering that we could actually try and keep Mr. Dudley, simply by writing a petition and letters.

First of all, I want to say that I felt more like the grade nine rep than I have ever in the past two years. A student was coming up to me, asking me to finally use my responsibilities. So of course I accepted. Being a part of the music program, I also wanted Mr. Dudley to stay.

Secondly, I really hope that this works out. Seeing the group right now (it stands at 70 or so members), I can't help but have good feelings about this. It will be something to remember in the upcoming years, that is, if we pull it off. I am glad to be taking part in this, and I honestly hope that it will work out in our favour.

What Do I Want To Be?

When posed (seriously that is) with the question of: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" two things pop into mind. 1) I think that it should always be: "What do you want to be if you grow up?" and 2) I don't know. Being in the mix with grade tens and elevens sometimes brings me to this situation. At this point though, I have no idea what I want to be, or more so, what I can be.

My biggest decision around this topic yet is the idea of a backup plan. If all else fails, I feel like I'd just go into the military or train to be a pilot (actually, pilot would be one of my first choices). However I still think that I'm too young for this kind of stuff, and I probably won't be talking about it again for a while.

So yeah. That's me.

Yeah, Yeah, Goodbye

Recently my post intervals are weird, and I'll try to get myself back into the rhythm of posting every two or three days. A lot of ongoing anime to watch. A lot of chem to cram. Life.

I realized this a few days ago. I love writing. I'm actually writing a short novel for English, and hopefully it'll work out. Another thing that I realized was that the whole chem thing will become (regrettably) another huge what if? Actually, it is a what if? right now. I'm an 8. Later guys (and gals).
