Accessibility and sit skies in Fernie

Dear Readers

Accessibility in Fernie? Heck no! A lot of the stores in Fernie are not accessible. Fernie doesn't have the nice biker paths which forces me to walk beside the highway. I was all most hit once. At the ski hill they do have a sit ski but it's old and they can't put it on the chair lift. I wish we had a sit ski like the one in Kimberly. Fernie won't get a new one because there are only 2 disabled kids in Fernie including me. But thats no excuse is it? If we had a sit ski I would probably be up there all day! When my school used to go for skiing lessons I would have to stay home which made me feel terrible. Oh Kimberly next time I'm there I promise I'll go skiing.

canada place

Dear Readers

Today we went to Canada Place which is the spot we will be working at. There is this big center that all the reporters go to write their stories. I am so honored to do this. I am also very tired. I threw up the whole way to Vancouver. Yuck. It was my sisters muffins. Blahhhhhhh! I asked the pilot if he thought it was a rough ride and he said no! It totally was. Our room at the Hyatt Regency is BIG! It has a beautiful window that over looks the street. Tonight I'm meeting my sister Tabitha and we are eating the fancy Hyatt super. Now I'm going to meet Theresa Lalonday so bye bye for now. :)

Saturday and Vancouver

Dear Readers

On Monday we are going to Vancouver for our last studentslive meeting. I'm excited because I get my press pass on this visit. And Kate is going to be with me which will make me less anxious. I had to make a video for studentslive to get chosen. I had to redo my video over and over again because I couldn't get it right. I chose sledge hockey because it was very interesting. I learned that sledge hockey was created in a rehabilitation center in Sweden. I had to make a sledge hockey presentation. I think the best part of carrying the olympic torch is that i get to carry it with Kate. Please remember to sign up for studentslive.ca

Saturday, Sunday and Monday

Dear Readers

Sorry I haven't written in a while but I've been so overwhelmed. I've been forgetting things left and right. Saturday I went down town and got an exercise shirt. It is black and pink. Then we went for a tea. After that my sister came from Cranbrook and we played Super Mario Bros. Sunday I went to church and then I hung out all day. Today I have some music I have to do. Well bye for now don't blame me if I don't write.

Friday and the torch

Dear Readers

KATE AND I GET TO CARRY THE TORCH! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED.

Thursday and over load!

Dear Readers

My brain is going to explode!!!!! To much science not enough chocolate! I've been learning about the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Why can't text books speak english? I had a lovely burrito for lunch with a side of very watered down apple juice. I was so hungry at lunch I couldn't spell animal! I'm to tired to type any more. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wednesday and glasses

Dear Readers

Yet again I had another brain fart. I thought I lost my glasses. So I went crazy trying to look for them. I tore my room apart. And then I look over at my desk and they were sitting there! Today I have a teleconference with SET BC and Katie Gibbs. My family has something against fruit today. We don't have any. But my father said he would go get some. Fruit is like an essential breakfast item. I have a vegetable craving so this morning I ate peppers for breakfast. Yesterday I think I ate to much chocolate! Because I got hyper and I ran around my room for an hour. I finally practiced my piano last night. And I watched Josh play wii fit. Well school time!

Tuesday and I lost my brain! Can you help me find it??

Dear Readers

Oi I just woke up. Ya I have a bed head problem. If I don't straighten my hair I look like a hippy. Why school why! I had a brain fart yesterday. Ya I FORGOT WHAT 1+1 EQUALED!!!!!!!! See now you know what I said about being as dumb as a post when it comes to math is true. Have you ever had a brain fart? It would be nice to know I'm not the only one. I'm starting my singing lessons on Friday again. I'm so excited. My singing teacher had a baby and stopped for a while. I just found a friend on facebook that I haven't seen since grade 1. Him and I were best friends up to grade 3. Then he moved. It was nice to talk to him. My favorite snack food is chips! I'm a chipoholic!!!! Speaking of food I'm hungry I'm going to eat.

Monday and back to work

Dear Readers

Back to the old desk again. My brain isn't cut out for working so hard. I'm going to tell you a secret. When it comes to math I'm as dumb as a post. What subject do you have a hard time in? My favorite subjects are Drama and lunch. What is your favorite subject? When I graduate I want to go to collage to the become a singing teacher. This is my 7th year of singing lessons. I play the piano too. This is my 3rd year. Speaking of that I forgot to practice oops!!!!! I'm super excited for the Paralympics but there is sooooooo much I've got to do. Writing in this blog is one of the things I have to do. And finding out what athletes I want to interview is another. I wish I had an assistant who could do it all for me. I have to admit I'm still a little confused about the studentslive thing but I'll figure it out. I did feel a little weird at the meeting because I always do stuff like this with Katie Gibbs. Not having her there was very hard. Well I have to practice my piano before I get in trouble.

Sunday and taking down the christmas decorations

Dear Readers:

Today is Sunday and I just got back from church. We are taking down our christmas tree and our decorations today. Sometimes I think it's pointless setting up all the decoration and then a week later taking them down. I do love setting up the tree though. We have a tradition in our family for setting up the tree. We watch "It's a wonderful life". My favorite christmas movie would be "White christmas". I swear I watched it 10 times over the christmas holidays. I hate having to go back to school right after the christmas holidays. I always forget everything I learned before the holidays. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who does that. I'm a procrastinator. I always leave my homework for the last day of the holidays, but my new years revolution is to not procrastinate. What was your new years revolution? Happy holidays everyone!

Saturday

Dear Readers:

Today is another boring Saturday. None of my friends can come over. I don't get why people see my wheelchair and not the person that is sitting in it. I've all ways had problems with making friends because I'm in a wheelchair. I don't get why people have to treat me as if I was mentally and physically disabled. I'm not mentally disable I'm physically disabled. I have a very hard time in school as well. My teachers treated me as if I was a baby. I hate that. But I'm doing better because now I'm being home schooled. So today I'm probably going to sit at my laptop and eat chips all day. I can't go outside either. I live where there is snow all the time. And people here don't think to shovel the side walks! So I hope you all are having a great Saturday!

I just got home from Vancouver today and I am very tired. We drove 12 hours! When I was in Vancouver I had my first ferry ride. We were taking my sister to Gabreola Island to get her stuff. I did get a little sea sick but I didn't puke. Vancouver was so warm, it was + 8! When we got home it was - 16! Ahhhhhhhh cold!!!!! But I'm glad to be home.
