Reality Sets In.

Now that I've been back for a few weeks from my expedition I've been super busy with homework and trying to catch up with everything I missed. I'm finally back on track with school work, but now finals are fast approaching and I'm already starting to stress. I've got a lot of presentation and papers to write, but fortunatly they are all mainly on the same topics. I tried to focus them all around the issues we discussed on the expedition, which makes it alittle easier on me because I actually got to experience some of the things I am talking about first hand.
Another thing on my plate is the fundraising for i2P. I feel like I've tried a bunch of different fundraisers in the past and people and my school just don't seem to want to join in. I'm assuming it's because no one has that extra change to spare, but I think I have finally found the perfect fundraiser. Props goes out to my mom for bringing this idea home. We are going to sell pumpkin rolls at my mom, dad and baba's work for the next week or so for about 8 dollars each. My mom called me on her lunch break and said she already sold 8! That's 64 dollars right there, and about just as much as I have made with my bake sales at school! I hope this idea really works because judging by the website for the fundraising, we still need a lot more money to build this school. I'm really confident that school's will push at the very end to get to the goal!
On a different note, I started training for a marathon a week ago compliments of Kat for getting me started! I've been doing pretty well so far. My only worries are with the cold weather fast approaching I think I may have some trouble breathing because that was my biggest issue last year when I was running (right before I got mono).
Well today is a rest day for me, although I'm stuck inside writting a paper and some other homework. I'd much rather be running!
