I've got a man to stick it out / make a home from a rented house

Saturday is July 1st... Canada Day! The great day on which your friendly neighboors to the north became their own country. It is celebrated by fun bands on The Hill and the fireworks. I'm having some friends over (it's no longer a party. No one can come.) We're going to watch the fireworks and stuff.
Saturday is also my 9 monthivesary with Mike. Yay happy :). As Mix so eloquently put it "Wow... if you'd had sex on your first date, you'd have a baby!" Thank you, McC.
In other news... school has been over for a week, and what I thought would be a boring, slow time has been jam packed. I'm so tired from lack of sleep! For instance, today. I thought yesterday that today would be boring. Instead I went to school to see some teachers, went home, saw Mike, talked on the phone with some people, organised babystting, went to the park/dinner/movies [Thank you for Smoking] with Geoff and Kirsten. Insane.
Oh! The BIG NEWS!
Last weekend I tried out for Insight Theater, a drama troupe by Planned Parenthood that goes to school and presents to grade 7, 8, and 9 about safe sex and healthy relationships. It's so much fun. It's not just reading off facts, it's making funny skits to present the info to the kids in a fun way. Ex: this year there was a skit about "Alice in STI Wonderland" Funny stuff like that.
So I tried out last weekend to get into the Summer Training Program which runs every Tues and Thurs all summer. At the end of the summer they pick 16 from the training to make up two troupes of 8. And today I found out I got into summer training! I'm so excited, and so stressed, because now, I want to be in the troupe just that much more!
The problem is I'm away for two weeks to visit you guys (!) Which means I miss 4 sessions, which is a Big Deal because every meeting is so important. I've said to the coordinator that I will work as hard as I need to to catch up for what I miss, and I hope that she'll overlook that I had to miss and she'll let me in anyway, because I want this so badly.
Wish me luck!

I have been named Assitant Director of Leadership on StudCo (Student's Council) for next year. I'm very pumped.
This means I assist the co-directors of Leadership in organising Leadership activities for our school. These include:

+Leadership Camp for the grade nines (which is in March next year instead of October, which means less stress right away)
+Grade Nine BBQ on the first day (working with Spirit division of StudCo)
+The new for next year Exec Leadership Camp at the end of September, a camp for the Executive of all the school organisations (basically, all the clubs with charters that are amendmants to the StudCo Constitution -- like Canada pre-Trudeau*)

My directors are Anna and Griffin. I know Anna from Hopewell and rowing, which is good, but I don't know Griffin. I really hope they'll delegate to me and I hope I'll be able to do lots and control things too. I want to work hard next year on this.
Also -- the Exec Camp that is new -- it was sprung on us today at the meeting for next year's Exec. So in addition to planning a Grade Nine BBQ on the first day (which will be crazy to organise), we have to worry about Exec Camp right away. Crazy. Thanks for the heads up, B&B! (Our new coprezes)
Well, fingers crossed we'll pull this all off. In the meantime, I can't wait for summer! Tomorrow is the last day and then my two exams on Tuesday and then home free for the summer.
