Ten Pin Baby.

I miss dancing. I miss turning off the lights, cranking norah jones, and dancing in my hallway when I'm home by myself. You can't even begin to imagine how much i miss it. I miss so many trivial things like that. I miss taking as long as i want in the shower because (sorry brothers) I couldn't care if I used all the hot water. I miss loading the washing machine as full as it can go and I miss making crazy noises when I get excited. I just got off of the phone with ainsley, and it made me miss those little things so much. I am so excited to come home, and not in a "I want to come home right now" kind of way. I know this is a crappy analogy, but they say when you take your dog to the kennel, if he is happy to see you when you get him, it means he had a really good time. If the dog is not happy to see you, it means he had a crappy time. I am excited to come home and see everyone, because I want them to see how much I have changed and grown, and I want to see how they have changed and grown. I am excited to come home, because I am having such an amazing time.
Today was such a lovely day. I went to the gym this morning, and this afternoon I went bowling. I wasn't really expecting to have that much fun, but it was such a good time. I went with Julie, her younger sister Rachel, and their dad. It was hardcore ten pin, 12 pound balls, and the lanes were huge, and packed. Julie's dad is so good. Like he has his own bowling shoes kind of good. The first two games, I failed hardcore, but Julie's dad gave me some tips, and the third time, I was respectable!! I got to know Julie's dad some more, which was nice, because he is not home that much. He is very very funny, and likes to joke a lot.
This evening, I watched an absolutely hilarious Quebecois film (my first one!!) and I gave into the chocolate craving that has been keeping me awake at night (kolton, thank you so SO much for sending me that nutella <3) .
Today I also found out some... interesting news. This weekend is the Cadet Games. It is also an overnight event. Friday and Saturday night. My initial reaction to this news was not a good one. Last week was so exhausting, and I get so homesick, and I honestly wasn't sure I had it in me to do it again. Then I thought about it some more. Last weekend was a good practice run. This weekend will be easier for many reasons; I know the people a lot better and I know what to expect. I am going to make this weekend the absolute best it can be. I am not going to hold myself back, and I am going to try really really hard. I am thankful that I have tomorrow to get mentally prepared, and I am going to make this weekend pwn almost as hard as I will pwn when I get back home.
I am the only one who can make this weekend good, and I am responsible for my own happiness, so I am going to make myself happy this weekend!

Happily making my happiness,
Carly
