There and back again

Here I am! Again. I know, I keep resurfacing and disappearing again. But now I am back. For good. Or at least for a couple of days. Anyway, nice to see you are all here. Hi Sam! Nice to meet you.
Anyway, (it isn't my post if there are less than 4 "anyways" ;) thing are good here. I just got back from Portland, Oregan, where I stayed for a week for x-mas. Nice to see all my relatives (on my mom's side) again, and leave just when you start getting really annoyied by them. lol. Anyway, I had a great x-mas, got stuff that I really wanted, and hopefully hade some people happy with my gifts.
A little while before that, I was in California with my relatives on my dad's side for Thanksgiving. We go down to California once a year, and I always really enjoy it. And, my cello didn't get damaged by the airline this time! Yay! Hopefully, I will be able to go back to California by myself in January. I am really looking forward to that.

And then there is skiing. I love skiing, and my family always plans on week-long ski trip a year. This time we are going to a ski resort in Canada called Kimberly. I have never been there, but it looks good. That is in about the middle of January. Another fun thing to look forward to!

For me, school starts on the 2nd, and while I am looking forward to it, I am not looking forward to chainging my entire class scedule. I really like getting to sleep in a bit, but that may not be the case soon. And with the wierd scedule of the homeschool classes, I may not be able to take all of them. *sigh*

From now 'till school starts, I will be kept busy by getting all my assignments ready, cleaning up the house (every other minute my mom "suggests" something I can do to help) and learning Mac OS X. Because, I got a Macbook for x-mas! YYYAAAAYYY! So now I am trying to find out how to actually use it (our family uses Windows computers.) Luckly, I got a book about how to switch from a mac to a PC, so I will be avidly studying it. It could take a little while though, becuase it is huge (514 pages!)

Anyway, glad to be back! Hope I will stay this way for at least a week (but don't count on it ;)
