Back to the Land of Birch Soil

Now that I have completed my 600 mile car ride, I am standing in a relatively quite place. Yes, I am indeed standing. An hour ago I started feeling overwhelmed, and decided it was because of my lack of working out. Missing school for three days is okay academically during the holidays, but I still have a need to get my energy out. So I am typing, standing-style, periodically jumping around in a circle. Later I will actually do something that raises my heart rate. I may also feel overwhelmed because of the quietness of the woods. Last night I got out of the car, refusing to follow the line walking in the door, and stood still for a moment. After the door had closed shut, I extended my head toward the sky, seeing the large moon, perched in a sea of stars. I have to admit, the stars sky is a lot clearer farther north from the big cities. Glancing across the lawn, my innocent childhood came back to me simply, as the fresh snow sparkled delicately. I remembered my self running down the driveway in blissful moments like this, watching the snow's sparkles change in different perspectives. The snow is even different from the city. The snow started to crunch under me, as my boots started to turn toward my dog waiting patiently beside me; the only sound accompanying the cold, soft wind. No matter what experiences happened, there is always something special about the place of childhood. For me its settling and peaceful.

School has gone good recently, minus the out of control PE class, though even there I seem to find the nice things. Grading is harder in Gym recently, and I finally got my grade up to an A. I am sure I will rant about my gym class some time, but not now. And by the way, it's not the teacher, it's the students that bother me. But of course, just after I receive the one grade I needed to have all A's, I get a B+ in a Chemistry test, and my grade in science goes down to a B. But the next unit is not that hard. Otherwise I am just trying to keep up with whats going on in my classes. In other words, my Chinese presentation. The website we are using at school, is not working out as well at home. I think I may use Windows Movie Maker instead.

As always I am using procrastination this holiday season, and I don't have everything yet. But hopefully I will be able to put something together. I am pretty excited about it actually, and it doesn't involve money! I am mostly thinking of my mom's present.

Happy Holidays Everyone!
