EMAIL OVERLOAD

So, I've been busy.

And my email inbox is piling up.
So I just finished my Music ISU - YAY ME! - and I decided I deserved a break.

Here are the articles I wish I could read now, but don't have time for. :)

MAY DAY!

READERS.

I am so excited.
I just got back from the Taylor Swift concert.
She is honestly the prettiest and sweetest girl I've ever seen.

She is so cute, she got so teary eyed when she heard how loud we screamed for her.
That's the sweetest and humblest thing I have ever seen!

ANYWAY.
My May has been mega hectic!
Between ISUs, work, writing report cards, and trying to have a life, I've been extrememly mega busy.

But, today marked the day that starts the best week + a bit of my year!

Friday, May 21: TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT.
Saturday, May 22: First Saturday since Easter I get to sleep in. Also, last DI meeting for the year, then sleepover at Angie's.
Sunday, May 23: HARRY POTTER EXHIBIT AT THE SCIENCE CENTRE.
Monday, May 24: Finish ALL work for rest of year except exams. LEAVE FOR TENNESSEE.
THEN, FOR THE NEXT WEEK, I get a break from school and I get to go to Knoxville, Tennessee.

I'm sooooooooooo looking forward to it.
And in DI, we've stepped EVERYTHING up a couple of notches.

Just like in Glee, when Artie steppped up his dancing. ;)

Anyway,
I'm mega tired from my mega busy day today.
So, goodnight! <3

Important Announcement:

Hey readers.

So, important announcement:

If you do not know the difference between bragging and pride, then please learn what it is. :)

There are many people out there who don't know the difference, and think that whenever you are PROUD of something that YOU have ACCOMPLISHED and worked HARD for, that you are bragging. Even if you state afterwards, "I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging, and I apologize if it sounds like I am."

And another thing, if you're JEALOUS, do not go ruining other people's parades because they are proud. They're not bragging. Guaranteed.

Which reminds me, I heard a story today that I thought I would share.

I tried to stay out of it, but my opinion needs to be stated.

So, a friend of a friend was apparently talking about people behind their backs... Knowing the person somewhat, this honestly didn't surprise me. However, our mutual friend - a really good person - told their friend that if they were going to talk bad about people, not to do it when my friend was around.

So, apparently, friend-of-friend was angry at friend because friend was sticking up for not only her other friends, but also everyone else that friend-of-friend was talking about.

Now, here's the distressing part.
Friend-of-friend got angry! They felt that friend didn't have the right to say that, so friend was upset and went to APOLOGIZE.

Can you believe that?!

I felt so bad for friend, because they shouldn't have been guilted into apologizing, when in my opinion, they did nothing wrong. I didn't realize that encouraging good behaviour and discouraging rude behaviour was something to apologize for.

Remind me to apologize to a lot of people.

Anyway, I'm done ranting for today.

PS: Shout out to Anne, Jess & Ash. I love you all! <3

Cat Nip Balls, thanks to PETA

So, I've been procrastinating.

I have so much work to do, but I got a lot of it done over the weekend.

I felt very productive. :)

Anyway, today was supposed to be yet again, another productive day.

However, I got home, took a nap, read, then worked on my homework.
I got one assignment done.

Now, I'm supposed to be making lesson plans for work, but I decided to get rid of the 27 emails that are haunting my inbox.

So, here's the article on how to make cheap cat nip balls for your feline friends.

Also, a very interesting fact from the monthly SPCA International Newsletter:
The fur production industry isn’t only cruel to our beautiful animal friends; it also does extensive damage to our environment. According to the Industrial Pollution Projection System, the fur dressing and dyeing industry is one of the five worst industries for toxic metal pollution to the land. Mink, foxes, raccoon dogs, and rabbits are common species exploited for their fur.

Speaking of homework, my assignment was on laughter therapy.
So, we could all use a laugh.
And why not be green while doing it? [I should really post this on my OTHER blog, oh well]

Anyway, I NEED TO FOCUS.
JUST LIKE ALL OF YOU.
