Just Another Thursday
Leave a Comment
Yet another Thursday. I would like to blog more, but half the time I have nothing to say, or I’m too busy.
I’m so pumped for tomorrow. As much as I love Edmonton, I can’t wait to get out to Smith’s and chill with my cousins. The rib cook-off? Just an added incentive.
My interview with Andy Patil from Matt Mays + El Torpedo comes out today. The headline? “Matt Mays + El Torpedo get even the best writers frazzled” Oh Kristen, you make me blush…
Also, I did a sports piece. Now that you have picked yourself off the ground, it wasn’t anything too major- just a piece on the dance team. It’s not like I actually went to a game.
Last night Tara’s family took me out to the Royal Glenora for dinner. It was so awesome…. nice not to have to resort to grilled cheese like most Wednesdays!
Um…. what else…. 14 days until Vancouver, 9 days until MM+ET concert. WOOT.
Van City is going to be so awesome. Encounters crew! Conference! French!
My life rules. I just need money.If you have extra, feel free to send it along hahahahaha.

Exciting Stuff Man!

I know, another update so quick? It’s because some exciting stuff happened.
I am one of the few recievers of the Saskatchewan General Proficiency Award. That means that I had one of the highest averages in Saskatchewan my Grade 12 year. I don’t know how many they give out, and it’s according to school divisions (I think), but it’s still pretty sweet!
On Thursday I at down with Aimee (Intercamp Features ed.) to go over the edits for my feature about students and money. She had nothing but good things to say- I used colourful quotes, I had awesome organization, and best of all, only 3 mistakes in the whole 1800 words, 8 page story. I also get to work on the layout of the piece with Chris, the graphics dude, on Tuesday. I am so excited to see my baby get published in the October 3rd issue! My first Intercamp piece was published in the most recent issue, and you can read it here.
I did my interview with Andy Patil yesterday and it went AWESOME! He was very cool and laid-back, and really nice. We talked about his musical influence, our love for GarageBand, and the origin of the name El Torpedo. Fun Fact: his favourite song from their self-titled album is Lost Souls, while his favourite Terminal Romance song is Northern Belle. I can wait to do the write-up, and I’m so pumped for the concert (which I’m going to, because it turns out Maureen is going, and I didn’t want to go on my own).
This morning I went on a cleaning spree in my room becuase it was really dusty. I got some wipes for my computer yesterday, so now all the dirty fingerprints are gone and it’s back to being white. YAY!
Ugh I should work on my essays and Intercamp stuff. And eat.
