The prettiest place in Canada?

We just came back from Victoria... (well not just... I had to finish my NaNo before I could write this... by the way I won!! Ok back to your regulatory scheduled vacation update...) and I really like that city. I wish Stefan's project had been in Victoria instead of Nanaimo because its such a nice place. The downtown is just beautiful. Theres this amassing soda shoppe that I just LOVE. We tried a Chocolate float last time we were there and then this time we had a raspberry and peach float that was SOOOOO good, and an Epic ice cream Sunday which was also really good. We had a really nice breakfast... and it's kinda neat Food Network was filming for a show call You should eat here while we were there this morning... I finally got eggs Benedict after craving it for like a month...(there are NO breakfast places in Nanaimo by the way...) and they were REALLY good. Stefan learnt that if a hippie barista at some coffee shop asks you if you want White Coffee you should say no. It tasted like dirty watter... There also are some really neat little court yard's with shops and stuff but the shops were a little uninteresting... but all in all wondering around Victoria makes for a lot of fun. Oh ya the Parliament Buildings look so nice dressed up for christmas.
We visited a Bug Zoo, I had been told about it by someone at the LARP and it was really neat. I had a millipede on my face... There was a guide who was telling you about all the bugs and she just continually went around the room talking about all the bugs and would take them out of there display cases and let us hold them. There was a really pretty spider that I liked and the millipede was neat. The centipede is creepy... they look so mean...
Today we went to Craigdarroch castle, it was really pretty. I like castles. They are so epic! They have a lot of story... its odd because in general I am not much of a history fan but for some reason I like hearing the history about buildings (imagine if we could find out all of Loyalist's history... that place is over 100 years old and probably has some story's to tell... it doesn't look like a castle but it's still really old...). I like Buildings...
Anyways it's sleepy time now, I am going to yoga in the morning (the first time back in a month... there were tooth doctor appointments... and then a scheduled change and an exam... so ya but I will go tomorrow... ) and it looks like I sold my bike... which is pretty sweet.
So there we go, I'm heading back to Ontario in less than two weeks... NaNoWriMo is over... sold my bike... I guess all that is left right now is to keep up with the Physics-ing and pack the house. All adventures have to come to an end at some point... otherwise you can't really call them an adventure... all in all I am happy with this adventure and ready to go home.

A birthday, A painting, an Exam and 36 333 words

So been busy lately... not in the sense that I have been doing a lot... more just non stop math and other school things.
We went to Vancouver again last Monday for Stefan's birthday. It was a really good day. We mostly just went to the aquarium hung out... then missed the ferry... so I kinda read the schedule wrong... and it's the kind of thing where that's it... theres an end to when it runs and you have no choices left...

I painted him a picture of Noel I like it a lot.

It's our Kitty : D

Other than that I re-did the Functions Exam this morning...  went SOOOO much better... I am still getting worried about my marks. It look's like about 85 is what I need for the engineering programs... but really it's not the end of the world. I can just do things again. The only real way to get better at math is to do more of it. And I am cool with doing more of it... I just need to go to school next year.

Calculus is finished too, I have to do an exam for it but I think that will happen after christmas. So now it's non stop Physics till christmas. I have to get the chemistry stuff sent to me so I can do that as soon as physics is done... THEN I can apply for University... Since all the credits just need to be started. /sigh... lol I can't be feeling overwellmed yet... this isn't even the REAL work.

Lastly NaNo... I'm still going... I am a little behind on yesterday's word count... I think I need 2000 today to be at today's amount. It's all going really fine... There will be a bit of a scramble on Tuesday next week uploading it to the sight since me and Stefan are going on one last little trip. We don't see us coming to this part of Canada again anytime soon and I REALLY liked Victoria... so we are heading back there for a little two day trip. It's suck a pretty little town. I guess that means I should finish my novel by saterday doesn't it...13667 in 5 days...  thats 2734 each day + a physics project I want in the mail by the 2ed... :D

So just don't complain I never write to you thats all... :D
(P.S we are planing our Florida vacation... :D We get off a cruse ship on my BIRTHDAY :D sadly we arn't on the ship but its still fun will tell you more ASAP Promise!!)
So...well...ya...

10 036 words and one less tooth.

     So after not quite a week of NaNo I hit the 10 000 mark... :D yay! This is even with the major interruption that was a wisdom tooth extraction. I don't do dentists well, so this went amazing... it's kinda hard to explain but I felt like I walked away... separated myself from the things I didn't want to have anything to do with and just let it happen. There was a small freak out to start with but all it all it wasn't as bad as I have been before.
     Saturday I felt like crap... Friday after the surgery was ok, I guess drugs will do that right... but I havn't really been up to anything today. I managed to get 500 and some words done just now... will try for another 334... I say two half day word counts are aloud when you go have surgery... :D all in all I am still up to date... I just have a math Unit I want to hand in by the end of Monday... this may not be as possible as staying on word count is... anyways I'm going to go finish those words off.
(oh ya I think the story stopped making sense three days ago... but then again that was when all the dentist stuff started so maybe I will be able to bring it back on track? Maybe?)
