My dad hasn't been feeling well for the past few days, every day he comes home snorting, coughing and snuffling, before lying down in bed. My mom says I should take the bus home tonight so he can rest.

Still practicing for my driver's test, I need to book it for the middle of July. On the weekend I drove to my relative's house with my dad in the front and my mom in the back. That wasn't much fun, since my mom is a back seat driver and would freak out while my dad's giving me a totally different command from her while hurling more curses then a truckdriver. I drove completely by myself on Tuesday because my dad was dropping his car off at the mechanic's. He drove the car to be fixed while I took my mom's car behind him to go home in. Oddly enough, I felt more at ease driving entirely by myself then with my dad, I think it's because then I only had to worry about myself and not anybody else if I screwed up.

I e-mailed my uncle a while back since he works at the offices of several theme parks and can get me tickets at a discount, but he hasn't replied yet. I'd like to go to Canada's Wonderland and the CNE sometime this year.

Got class at 3 PM today my Plant histology class and lab were both cancelled last week, so we're behind. At least I understand all the stuff they're talking about, it's more or less memorizing rather then dealing with abstract questions on things.

Going to Pacific Mall tommorow for a bunch of things that I need. Black paint, white feathers and tonnes of Wrappit. I've decided to make Nightmare Wings by sticking wrappit over some foam that I cut out, then coating it with polyfila before sanding, painting and waterproofing. White feathers are for angelic wings. I'm going to get about 3 rolls of wrappit to make armor with this summer.

I went to the doctor's on monday and got skin cream for my eczema and strong sleeping medication for my insomnia. I've just had such horrible sleep for the past while and it's been affecting my ability to think straight. My doctor said these ones were very strong and left a bitter aftertaste, probably to keep people from lacing food or drinks with it. I took a half the first time, but I used a whole one last night so I could pay attention during classes. I haven't felt this good and alert and awake in a while, I slept great last night. I only have about 30, so I think I'll just use a half most of the time and a whole if I have class or a test the next day just so I'll be more alert.

Don't know why I've been having trouble sleeping, maybe it's just all the stress coming this July. I'll have to pick my courses, and that prof will finally e-mail me to let me know if I got into that field course to the Bahamas. That course will give me the extra half credit I'm short of to graduate next year in spring, otherwise I'll have to stay back for another semester. That doesn't really bother me, since I finished high school a year early, but it will throw my plans to be an english teach abroad off for a bit, since you apply in September and leave in July the year after for the JET program. If I'm stuck waiting for another year, I was thinking of filling the void with a TESL certificate and job, since that will let me do other english teacher programs (it's not needed for JET).
