Effervescing Moose. This week starts out better than last.

"I sat on myself and now I'm a flower."

-Alicia

I'm always happy after I get new sheet music. It's like new-book-high, only it lasts far longer. Right now I have been stimulated to effervescence.

Many things made this day unforgettable. I got 20 on my music test, which is more than enough to brighten my entire world. Lunch was great...listening to Kaj, Alanna, and Michelle face off. I amused myself with a Sharpie for the entire day, and tomorrow I get to sleep in and not have to turn in any homework.

By far the ultimate best moment, however, was when me/Alicia/Jocelyne/Kelsey were trying to scrounge up enough money for a small slush. We needed forty-five cents, and were trying to come up with creative ways to acquire said small change. I suggested we busk, which we probably would have ended up doing had not Kelsey chosen the right moment for her outburst.

"Come on, it shouldn't be that hard to get someone to give you 45 cents," I said. "I'm sure you can think of something."

"Like stripping?"

I opened my mouth to say something along the lines of, yes Kelsey I'm sure that would work, but at that moment the man who had been standing behind us spoke up.

"I've got five dollars," he joked. "I could go up to ten."

I was still determined to say something. "Come on, Kelsey. Forty-five cents."

"It's only forty-five cents you need?" he said. "Why didn't you say so?" He handed Kelsey a toonie. "I have a daughter who's in high school, and I don't want her stripping either."

And that's how Kelsey got money for being herself. She really doesn't need to try.

MoWest badminton starts soon! As do piano and guitar...I'm so pleased to have sheet music! And I got twenty on my music test!

You have beautiful eyes.
