Well today is a special day for my graduating class, because we are going on our final retreat together.
Some of these kids have been together since Kinder garden, and this is my first year with them. Although I've been on countless trips with many of them before, Rome, Camp Homewood, Various DYC's around BC, Seattle, and Naniamo, this is the first time I'll be traveling with all of them as the 2011 St. Andrew's High School Graduates. Not going to lie, I'm nervous but after I went to load my pack on the truck, and saw some of my new friends that will be along, all that went away and I was reminded that now is the time, for us to come together as a grade, be leaders of the school, and grow together as we get close to facing the world.
I know I'm coming before my time, but I feel more apart of the grade 12 class then I ever did with the grade 11 class. Maybe I'm finally on even playing ground.
Off to catch the bus to Camp Imadiene. Grad' 11

Oh that? That's where my dwarf tooth used to be. Don't worry the spot is going to get filled in by a new better tooth.
Well it has been an eventful 6 days.
On Thursday November 18th 2010, I went into surgery and had 5 teeth removed. 4 wisdom teeth and 1 lone dwarf tooth. Some of you may be scratching your head wondering what a dwarf tooth is; allow me to enlighten you. A dwarf tooth, is a tooth that has personal issues and decides that it would not like to grow into its place, in this case to its spot in my mouth. It tries to fly under the radar and did so quite well for 14 years before it was discovered by the braces guy. Being a tall person I never understood the concept of being small and dwarf like. So as one can imagine it was difficult to come to terms with and understand my little dwarf tooth. I now understand that he was just shy, but unfortunately for him, that just is not good enough, and he was removed from his hiding place, in my gums, and left my life. Leaving a small hole that will be filled in one years time with a new, friendly, put in its place, tooth.
As for my 4 wisdom teeth, well they simply had to go, I just did not have enough space for them and they hurt me from time to time.
I guess in a sense these 5 teeth can be compared to men, if they are shorter than you, and not man enough to stand out and take their place in life, he needs to be removed. Which is exactly what I did. I removed it. And if a man takes up more than his fair share of space in my life, and causes me pain then he too, shall be removed.
Having removed these 5 teeth, my mouth is now happy. Of course there is pain from removing them, but time heals all wounds and Tylenol definitely helps.
Now almost a week later, I'm feeling pretty good and I'm healing nicely.

October is my least favorite month.
What is it about October that's so darn confusing. I thought I had flown under the radar this year, however it appears I was wrong.
Time slips away so quickly these days, as does sleep. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though, it's my own fault.
Sister's can be hard to love sometimes. Especially when they are given a very important piece of paper to bring home so that you can cross the US boarder and they neglect to bring it home.
Ah well. Just another day in Fortress Grohovac.
