Chanise 's notebook entry: Dec 09, 2010 Hello everyone! It has been a while since I have written in my notebook. I have been so busy with final exams and studying lately :( hopefully this work will pay off! I am so excited to go home and see my family for the holiday season, and get a long break from school! I turned 20 years old on Monday! I don't feel any different. I think I was expecting to feel older or wiser hahaha! I am already making plans for my next birthday celebration. I know it's so soon, but I really want all of my favorite people there with me and I want to go on a really long trip to somewhere I haven't been before! This birthday that just passed, I didn't get to celebrate due to school and lack of money :( but I am saving up, and I will have a big celebration next year. Speaking of traveling, I have been thinking of taking a road trip with my college friends to Canada (Far north from where I live). I think it will take about 20-25 hours to drive by car (I don't even know if my Volkswagon Beetle can handle that kind of trip hahaha!). Vancouver, British Columbia is the closest to us, but I have to find out some things to do there. I am hoping to go during the Spring. Well i must get back to my studies, I hope everyone have a wonderful day/night depending on what part of the world you are in! show your smile, Chanise <3
