Today's the university fair, so grade 12 students basically have the day off. I'm going to the fair tomorrow, so today I'm catching up on homework and housework.

It's also the Terry Fox Run today. My mum and I were standing at our kitchen window, chatting, when we suddenly hear drums. Kids start streaming past our house, holding signs and banners and balloons and kites. It was my old elementary school, out for the Terry Fox Run. And it was so precious! They were chanting and waving their signs everywhere and the kindergartners were all bundled up and the older kids were just having fun, pounding the hell out of the hand drums. It was amazing.

And the procession lasted a good five-ten minutes, I think the whole school was out. My neighbour stood outside, waiting for her little daughter in kindergarten to come by so she could take a picture. Her daughter was so excited, it was adorable!

I miss my old school.
