oh lately it's so quiet

For some reason I felt really homesick today. It's probably because it's Wednesday, Dad's half-day and so the day Mum and Dad go shopping, and whoever's willing goes with them. All through the holidays I went, and I just miss it now. It reminds me of when I was in Primary School when I used to watch for them through the fence because I knew they'd have to drive past on the way there. Sometimes Graeme would watch with me, but I usually it was just me, and I always wanted to be with them...it seemed so exciting and fun to be shopping during school hours... And now I'm so far away from them, but I still want to go and it just sort of...highlights the distance...from them and from my childhood. It's something I don't get to participate in at all any more, and that makes me feel sad.
It was an alright day generally, I went to French in the morning, which went okay, tho' it did remind me of my imminent oral presentation and so made me nervous, as I ate lunch I was joined by Daniel and Miriam, which was nice, and they chatted to me for a bit. After Desi left (the girl who used to live next door to Daniel and just across from me) it seems Daniel's been a bit lonely. He's Russian and she's Ukrainian but she spoke Russian with him mostly and I think he misses that. Before I moved in as well, a guy called Dimitri was in my room and he was Russian too, so he had his own little Russian quarter up here, which must have been nice for him. But he's a very cheery guy generally and I don't pity him because she's gone, I think they're still in touch, but I just wish I would have more to say to him so he doesn't feel so alone. 
After lunch I went to the Library and read for a bit, for my Victorian Fiction class we're reading Jane Eyre at the moment, which I quite like, but after an hour of reading it was a bit to much and I left soon after finishing. Since then I've been mooching around my room, not really doing much, I can't really concentrate. I've got to do a PowerPoint presentation to go along with my oral presentation on Quebec and I've been playing around with that but it really doesn't look all that great. I might just ask my teacher if I can do a little information booklet or something and give it out, rather than making a rather bad attempt at a PP presentation and it distracting me from learning all my information etc properly.
Anyway, I really should be getting back to work.
