Simpleton
Crap. I haven't written a post in so long. Well here's an overview of the week:
It got filled up really fast with stuff and passed by quite quickly. I had a term 2 chemistry exam on which I received 95% and on the practice provincial I got 99%, so not that bad. English was purely review until friday, upon which we wrote letters for ourselves to open on our 50th birthday. This is apparently a tradition among Mr. Poppy's grade 12 classes and it sounds awesome. Band got excessively stupid around midweek, so I was forced to write a song about it, and then it tapered off in lameness near the end of the week. I've been studying for all of my provincials next week and cannot wait for them to be overwith.
Friday morning I received my marks on my Grade 10 piano exam via telephone (thank you AGB), for somehow my piano teacher acquired them covertly. She mentioned some strange military secret...internet? :S I was pleasantly surprised at the early hour of the morning. She intially said I passed, which is what I was most concerned about, and then proceeded to tell me my mark was 87. I was absolutely stunned and that made my day. I suppose my errors were overlooked as natural in the exam and the parts where I was expressive and musical ultimately displayed my competence on the instrument. In short, I'd have to say that is one of my largest accomplishments in life so far.
Friday was last day of school and I only had two classes, one at the start and one at the end. I drank 2 liters of coke and ate a bag of chips so I kind of was half awake. I jammed afterwards with Colin, Richard and David. Lots of RATM. w00t. I had a drum lesson, and volunteered at "Judy & David" (celebrities of the young'uns world) at the Port Theater.
Today [Saturday] was nice and relaxing. I awoke at 10.30 and slowly got ready for the day. I phoned Alana and we made plans to go to the mall @ 2. 12pm: I went with my mom to Black & Lee's to look at prom clothes. I also went to Moores. Inquire further regarding prom. I'm always eager, as other people are, to speak of such tomfoolery. Subsequently, I proceeded to Woodgrove Mall w/ Alana to browse shops, for she had her paycheck and I had a gift certificate for the GAP. I acquired material assets (two shirts) as did she (Collective Soul CD). When I got home we began celebrating my Dad's birthday (Jan. 31) by going to the Keg for dinner.
The Keg has got to be the best restaurant for the following reasons:
1. Tasty free bread before dinner
2. Bottomless drinks
3. Great atmostphere and popular restaurant
4. Good prices (Regular Nachoes (best nachoes I've ever had) 6.95)
5. Maximum steak price is 24.95. Their best steak, a mon avis, is the Sirloin which is only 19.95 and comes with sides. It should also be noted that it is the best steak in Nanaimo as far as I know.
6. Great service
7. Cool
Afterwards, Je suis alle a la theatre de port avec ma famille. Nous avons observe un homme et sa bande jouent ses instruments. Ils ont choisi jouer les chansons de Elton John et Billy Joel. Les 70's >>> They did some h-core covers and my parents liked it. I felt quite young among these 50's and 60's babies, but I enjoyed it too in a musical skill sense. The guy was an awesome singer. Tomorrow I study. Au revoir.

Mad props on the piano results btw, it's been a long time since I scored anywhere near that except on theory, lol... wish your dad a happy birthday for me. Things have been pretty random here, watching a lot of tv shows on CD or DVD, & said goodbye to one of the old exchangees today. Il a disparu! Never to be seen again; it's kind of weird in retrospect.

Afterwards, I went to the Port Theatre with my family. We watched a guy & his band play their instruments. They chose to play the songs of Elton John & Billy Joel. The 70s.
Where, my good friend Chip, were you during the compulsory core french classes in school? :p
