Today in art we were talking about light in photography. That got me thinking, that when teachers say all subjects are somewhat linked, they aren't kidding! Either way, I hag volleyball practice after school and since our coach is away, no one was really focused, which really sucks. After practice, I got home an I was really hoping the book that I've been waiting for would be there, but as I pushed my bike up to my house I didn't see it. However, when I opened the screen door, I saw it lying on the other side. I love the book, FutureChefs, the recipes seem great. My culinary life seems to be falling in place, I'm working at a culinary school next summer, and now the book. I hope the positive trend continues!

Early morning practice for volleyball again!!!!! We did basic things, like hitting and passing. Then after school we had a game against Hamber. I was surprised (but very happy) that I got to be captain today. We played hard and I had some pretty good front row attacks. Although today's game was harder than Magee, we still beat Hamber in 3 sets. After the game I went home, made a great dinner and now I'm going to bed.

October 13 2014: So today we came back to Vancouver. We went past Silver lake and stopped there for lunch and then it was off to the border and going to home sweet home. After the border we went to the Vitala farms to see the animals and buy some fresh produce. Then we went home, I slept, nothing major

This morning we set off to Mt.Baker. There are apparently amazing views from the mountain so we set off in high hopes. We got there, absolute fog and it was FREEE-ZING! We went for a small hike around one of the lakes and hurried back to the car. The also stopped by one of the waterfalls and did a portion of the hike around there. Then we went back to the cabin and went out to explore. Eventually we got back, made some sausages and pasta and we went in the hot tub by the cabin. Afterwards we played some games and went to bed.

Today we went off to Glacier, right by Mt. Baker in the USA. It's actually super close and it only took us about 2 hours to get there. There was a slight problem though, the people we were renting out cabin from had double-booked the place so when we got to our cabin, there were already people there. There's no cell service in Glacier so we went to a close by restaurant and they were very helpful and we called the people and got a new cabin (which way WAYYY nicer than the one we were supposed to get). We came to the cabin, ate a makeshift thanksgiving dinner with chicken (turkey), mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and chocolate covered cranberries (cranberry sauce). Then went outside and roasted marshmallows on the campfire and then went off to bed.

Practice was cancelled today so I was able to come to school early to set up for my group's English presentation. We were going to use the old film projector to project our book in a film version, however, we ran out of time since our story was really long. I didn't do much today, lots of online activity. I'll be getting away from all of that though since I'm going up to Mt. Baker for thanksgiving weekend.

Today we had our first game of the volleyball season! We played against Magee. Our captain situation still hasn't been resolved. Our coach is gonna test out 3 different captains and then decide for the remaining portion of the season who the captain should be. Magee was an easy win. 3-0 in sets (we play best of 5). My serve was on point, and according to my teammates something on facebook was posted about me getting 15 pts on my serve in the second set alone (I don't really know, I don't have facebook). I wasn't captain today but hopefully on Tuesday I'll get the chance.

Well, compared to yesterday, today was leaps and bounds better. The day started with me catching my skytrain and then catching the bus with perfect timing. Then after school,I was playing really well at practice and I am officially the first server on the first line (at least for now). We still don't know who our captain is and we're finding that out tomorrow, at our first game. I still haven't gotten my copy of the book, but I'm sure it's coming. Anyway, time to study for math, we have test tomorrow and I better do a whole lot better than last time.

Today was not my day. I started off by coming to school at 8:15 because I didn't know that it was a collab day. Then I did really poorly on a math test (I wrote the test on Friday but got the results today). And then on top of that, I lost my keys so I had to get a ride from one of my teammates after practice since I couldn't bike home. Ultimately though, I found my keys, the cookbook had it's debut and you know what, tomorrow will probably be better.

The day started with early morning practice. Calder Hell week is over but I'm still really sore. We also got our numbers today. I really wanted 13 but we could only get number in between 16 and 30 so I got 26. I did my school stuff after school and checked my email and... I got news about that book that I'm in. It's coming out tomorrow. The title is FutureChefs and I'm soooo excited, I should be getting a copy sometime soon. OMG!

Today my parents and I went up to Buntzen lake and went for a hike. We hike around the lake as well as up one of the peaks. It took us about 8 hours from start to end but if you get rid of all the breaks we took, it was 6 hours of actual hiking. So now I'm just gonna go to bed since tomorrow is morning practice and I'm excited to see if we'll know who our captain is.

Today I had tennis and volunteering. At volunteering, I planted trees and removed more of that stupid blackberry. Tennis was fun but I was really sore from all the volleyball. I forgot to mention in any of my posts that last week was Calder Hell week, full of fitness and the utter breakage of your muscles. Tomorrow I'm going for a hike and that should be "fun".

3 guesses on what I had today... VOLLEYBALL! We've learned that we're only gonna have 1 captain this year (last year we had a new captain for every game). I'd really like to be captain so I'm trying to show my coach that I would be a good fit for the team. Fingers crossed....

My blogs are gonna be just volleyball filled from now on. Nothing really interesting happens in my life other than volleyball. We had morning practice just like Monday. That's really my life now. Volleyball, school, and necessities.

Today we had another practice. The team is coming to a good start. I really hope I make the first line, because you get to play wayy more during the game. I don't really know what else to say...

Today I had early morning practice for volleyball, I like practice, but sometimes I'm kind of tired and I don't do as well... Either way, I'm really excited the practices are rolling along smoothly. It was our first practice and I really like our team. Hopefully the season goes well.
