The beginning of the end

Time flies by so fast, it is already the end of April, then comes May, and after that it is almost time for me to go home (June 25th). I've been doing some thinking this week, a big change like this coming up is hard to ignore. The feeling is mixed; Confusion, relief, sadness, and oh so much more. I believe there is only about 23 days of school left, or something like that. This week we have three days off, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Other than the weather, not much is changing here in Boundery Creek, New Brunswick. The fields are of course getting greener and I think the trees will explode anytime now. It feels very much like summer, I must say. We run around in t-shirts and mini shorts. It's a good time =P

I don't do very much in school right now. My schedual is a blast to begin with, plus I've reached the point where I don't really care anymore how good my marks are, all I want to do now is enjoy the time I have left in Canada. The social life in school is going so much better now, I feel much more confident than I did a month ago.

Guys and Dolls is cancelled so now I go home every day after school. It was for the best, with our time limit we wouldn't have been able to pull it off. At home I usually try to do something outside, like walking, playing basketball or badminton or something like that. They have lots of stuff to do here, so you won't get bored.

Yesterday Auke, Baukje and I went canoing for two hours or so. It was really nice, we saw some animals (I'm pretty sure we even managed to see an otter). It felt very much like Canada, you know, go canoing in the river, with the fields and the banks covered with red sand. Here and there were some tiny spots of snow, but that should be gone in no time.

We've also painted the deck by the pool and the staircase. We did most of it last weekend and finished that side off this saturday. Now we got to do the veranda in the front too. I like painting, you're outside and it feels like you're doing something good and you don't have to think so much.

Prom is in six weeks. That's pretty much what people are talking about right now. What dress, hairstyle, makeup, Safe Grad... Oh my, it's apparently a lot to think about. I'm borrowing my dress from Baukje, It's a nice dress. The blue colour in combination with my hair makes a good representation of Sweden =P

I think I've figured out my project for next year: A little book about Women's Rights in Afghanistan. I just read A Thousand Splendid Suns so i'm a little into that now. Find it very interesting. I'm gonna try to start off some researching and stuff soon. The more I can do now, the less I would have to do t home, right? ;) We don't want any procrastination here!
