9:30 am Harmony II exam on Saturday morning at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Langley campus (Stress point #1). I had to arrive at 20 minutes to exam time, about ten after 9. We ended up LEAVING THE HOUSE at ten after nine (stress point #2)!! This was an exam I just wanted to pass, nothing more. Harmony is dreadful, and the most boring subject I've ever had to take. And that's really saying something, seeing as I'm the bookworm kid who would totally take more classes if I had time for them (mega-dork comment of the day). The exam was 3 hours long, and I spent one whole week doing pretty much nothing but studying to prepare for it. I ended up finishing in 2 hours (HALLELUJAH), when I had thought that 3 hours would be nowhere near enough. The rest of my day involved me being a vegetable, boo ya :-D Now I get to study for my L... (IT NEVER ENDS!!!!!!)
I would have slept WAY IN after yesterdays stress, but I had a soccer game at 9am in Surrey, a half hour away. And I had to be there at 8:30 for warm up.... second day in a row waking at 7, ugh. (7 seems normal, even late to most of you, but 10am is normal for me, so humour me here :-P ) I got to play forward again, and for the one shift I was back in Midfield, I think I made a friend... in a really awkward way. My check had the ball, so I was right on her back... she was right between me and the ball, but she wasn't distancing me from the ball very well so I jabbed between her legs to get it away from her.... and that would have been all fine and dandy if she hadn't stepped back a bit, basically causing me to knee her in the butt.

To put it simply, if she were a boy that would have hurt. A lot. Honestly, how can we not be BFF's after that?
The magic of the game was preserved in a Tim Horton's run... Game day for my dad and I is complete when, and only when, we have our large hot chocolate and extra large coffee, half hot chocolate with one cream, and two doughnuts or bagels, depending on what we feel like. It completes the mood, and any missed passes or bad shots are erased from my memory as the smooth hot chocolate soothingly trickles down my throat.
When I vegged out again with my mom (it was SUCH a bad idea to put a TV in the master bedroom.. what were we thinking...) we watched Cupcake Wars. I've always been seriously in love with cupcakes, they're food from the gods (move over, Ferrero Rocher :-P ). The episode focused on a pageant in California, and the winner's cupcakes were featured in it. Or something. I was tired, so I don't remember much of it :-P But they used some crazy ingredients in their cupcakes!! There was a Lemon Parsley cupcake.... not sure how that would have tasted...
Moral of the story - it inspired to to make cupcakes. So I did! I found a recipe for Almond cupcakes, and I tweaked their vanilla butter cream icing recipe into a caramel macchiato icing. SO GOOD, I almost like the cake better than the icing, which is very rare.
I don't think I've mentioned this... I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT! My sister is about 4-5 months along, and they don't know if its a boy or a girl, they're keeping it a surprise. I had a dream about the Big Day last night; in my dream it turned out to be a boy, and was the sweetest, most beautiful baby ever! I cannot explain to you how STOKED my family is, we have already planned and bought so much :-) I want this baby to come faster! It seems odd... I'm only 16 and I'm going to be an aunt?? Its crazy, when the little lady or gentleman gets here, thats when everything will sink in. I'm going to teach it to play the piano, and to play soccer and catch, and we'll make mudpies, and we'll play dress-ups or knights and dragons (depending on if its a boy or girl.) And we have a book called classics to read to children... its got Shakespeare, and Plato, and all sorts of old stories in it to read to kids.... so we'll read that, too :-) *sigh* We are so excited :-)
Catch ya later!
