The final stretch ....

Well....the last week has arrived. Sigh......
On a practical note, if there is anything you need to return to me (books, fund-raising IOUs, etc.), don't forget please! Also, for any of you techies out there, you may want to consider submitting something you've done this year to the contest. If you forget about this, go to the Student Page of McQuarrie Online, and scroll down to the information on the Media contest. I can help you put this together this week if you're interested.
On a more personal note, I am looking forward to spending this week with you, finishing up the projects and a few other things, and doing some celebrating! Let's have fun, ok?? See you at McQ......

It's not really hard to believe. I was only there for 1 year. But it was a depressing thing to think about leaving. That's why I'm still sticking around, in case you were wondering. Remember, I have the experience of leaving; and I will say it's something you don't forget easily... and that's a very wonderful thing.

Rocking On,

i don't think i've been this sad about leaving any school before i feel like i'm graduating for high school where you don't know how many people you'll ever see again i mean when you graduate from somewhere else it can be easier to see people i don't even live in the same city as lots of my mcq friends. the times here have been way fun ( i don't have a specific top ten yet) and i'm worried i'll be doomed to spend the rest of my time at school, for the next little while anyway, in complete boredom in a totaly different place then the rest of my regular school classmates

What? This is it? I felt yesterday I just stepped into the doors of MCQ. Time pass quickly and mercilessly. I'm stuck in Laurentian for another several month without MCQ to brighten up my week. How could still I live? This is unbearable.

I'm home sick today so this gives me plenty of time to do whatever I want. I think It would be hard to narrow McQ down to 10, but some good memories I have are(In no order):
1.Stratford trips
2.The girl book crises
3.Dominique, Mnick, Ana and many other friends in Grade 6, Mrs. Streeters class
4.The UN debate
5. Shane's hate of the U.S. President and his allergy to fruit
6. The bus driver discussions
7. general s's unique tribal dances
8. the fact that our class has never been able to sucessfully start and KEEP a fire going to roast our smores
9.the garden party
10. the excelent fabulicious smores yesterday-thanks K and Ms.Watt for that excellent treat.

Well, that was hard. Thanks everyone for a great year at MCQ!And I can't wait for Statford!!

Because of a false alarm, our whole school was outside for almost ten minutes (that includes the Phy-Ed students, who were in shorts). This happened last Friday, and almost 1/5 of the school was in absence this week.

I had a fever during the weekend, but I got better on Sunday.

I'm really just starting to post things since mqc ended becaue i've beeen sick so i feel your guys pain can't wait for tommorow though. I'm also amazingly surprised that you guys could narrow the list of things you loved the most down to ten i loved everything about mqc this year except that we didn't do the music listening regularly but we even did that on the last day. i wish that stratford and the conference weren't the only things left but wishing only goes so far so i'm just going to say good-bye and hopefully see you all tommorow. p.s. i especially loved the garden party since everbody else mentioned something special
