I miss home so much. I never thought I would say it but I miss the snow! Sometimes I just look out the window ad hope that suddenly I'll see the sparkling white flakes. All I can remember are the days when I would stand at the bus stop with Cori, Sarah and Ryan, waiting for the bus that ended up being 45 minutes late. I miss that! I also miss all of the school events, like the awards night. I'm so sorry I wan't home to see everyone last night, but my Mom and Dad were there to watch you! They say congrats to everyone!! The worst part is going to be not being home for the good ol' Beav Christmas Concert. It was always my favourite....I'm never going to forget those memories. It's going to be weird when I play my first recital on the 30th of November, and no one will be there to see me. I'm so used to at least someone I know being there.

29 Days.....I'm hoping they'll go quickly. I can't wait until I come off the plance and see my Mom and Dad for the first time in 4 months. Some people here don't talk to their parents very often and I always wonder how they can do it! They think that UVIC is their home instead, and kind of lose contact with their actual home. I could never imagine that. Calgary is my home.....that's where all my friends are, and it's going to break my heart when I have to leave Calgary to come back here after Christmas!

I still live it here though. The program here is great, and the people here are great too! Whenever I'm down they cheer me up, and when they're sad I make them laugh too! When we're all sad, we resort to the always sucessful sweatpants and tubs of ice cream ritual. Nothing solves problems like being a sob and eating ice cream.

Sarah, I know you're feeling like you're not ready to jump into the world of UVIC, but don't let it get you down. I'm here for ya!! If you have any questions or just want to talk, give me a call, or write me and I can give you a call! You have so much potential....I know you and you strive for the best...ALWAYS!! I miss you and hope you're feeling better! SMILE!

To everyone else, write me sometime, or give me a call.....it will help the time pass!!

Later Gators!!
