And hey, If you've got some free trne on your harids, why flot build a snowperson. Welcome b ack, fellow Austinites. I hope everyone, had an excellent Christmas holiday. Did Santa bring you everything your littie hearts desired?I certainly hope go. Now that schcol is back in session and exams are lesa than two weelcs away, my fellow Austinites are running around like chiekens with their heads cut Off. This becomes a vr stressful trne for Grade 9s, andbecause I don't want taume them suifer, I thought I wouldý offer them , little advioe. Scenario one: Yçu are sitting in the gym, surrounded by liundreds cf astudents ail worlng feverishly on their exains and you have no idea wliat any of the answers- are (in fact, you are sure that the teacher has handed your exain ta you in German). This às no reagan ta panic. The beMtway to handle the situation? Pray. Scenario two: Iàke maziy Grade 99, you end up in the wroang row, and end up getting the OAC calculus exam instead. Now, this does net have ta b. aes bad as you thlnk. If you notice that *you have the wrong exam, just p ut up your hand and wîthin an hour and a haif a toacher might look in your direction. Once the teacherstops talkcing long enough ta wàlk over, aIl you have ta do is expiain your Archy TRAFALGAR CASTLE It's the new year and Urne te make a confesson. I havent had mucli success with my writing career ... too undiscipliued is what my teacher says I arn. I have ta admit t every Urne I ait down at tis computer I get confused about the function cf the 'mouse.' It rune against rny nature to tbink cf a mous. in any way excopt food. Se bore I arn in 'Wniter's Craft' for another year, trying net ta dangie rny participies or misplace rny modifiers ... talk about stress. My owner went ta Vancouver for the. holidays and left me to keep n ye on the castle. Ordinarïly I wouldu't ,mid, but recently there bas been a revival cf the century-aid rumeurs about a ghoqt who dwolls amq'ng us and, brave' as I ami, the. thouglit cf some misty 'creature floating through the halls dees make my fur stand ou end. It seeme seeof aur carpenters, wile malcing repaire lu a rarély used apartrnent above the iufirmary, came upon a mysterious lady on the. laziding. She had flowing blonde hair and was dressed in a long, black robe. I hea the. fellow fied down tho sMaireansd eut cf the. building as fast as ho could. Now, l'y. lived here witii the dean for aver six years aud lu al aur mldnight ramnblinge, w.e have nover encountered a ghostly figure ta spook us. But, as tlioy say, cuniosty illed the. cat, so I have decidod net to venture on that landing just in case... I don't want ta take any unnecessary chances. I have leut a Mef or two because cf folishnoss l the. past, and these days I need ta preserve al my streugth te defeud my ternitary agaiust Wally, -a castle-cat 'wanuabe' who keeps slippiug in through the. back door. So much for mystery and festive holidays. I didn't evon got Miss Mei's turkoy feast on Christmas Day. Naw all the. girls are back frein their trips homo ta, Venezuela, Hong Kong, Korea, Indiana, etc. and the. now terrn bas plenty cf fun ahead. Miss Jane Schniit bas corne frein Waterloo University for five rnonths as a co-op student teaciier iu math. I haven't played any tricks on lier. yet but rrn workiug on it. Friday, Jan. 14 is Parentd Nighit and this includes a delicious dinner. I'm partial ta rcast beef sud hope nobody will notice my prosonce undorineath the. dean's tale. Jan. 21 i8 our annual Si Day. I stay home -- as usual -- but overycue eIe. wiil b. an the slopes of Devil' Elbow ta eiijoy the. tbnill cf the. downbull runs sud the. challenge cf the cross-country trails. (Persoually, I wouldnt want ta put eue paw upon tiiose suowy tracks; 17il think of tiiem ail as I cuni Up under a radiatar and sleep the. day away.) Yes, everything 18 under controI. As I make my daily rounds frein hall ta hall, pausing for a scratch under the chin or a turnmy rub, I feel fertunate, as always, that I lucked inta this great iazy life in Trafalgar Castie. Now, if I could just get that cat Wally ta, keep bis distance, I couid realiy relax and settle down for a long winter's uap. predicarnent and wait for hlm/lier ta finish laughingr (trust me -- he/sheIl laugli). You should be given your exaxu shortly after this,. leaving youi with approxmately 15 minutes ta w rite the entire exani. Impossible? No way. There ifs a vory simple solution -- pray. Seriously though, exams often go over quit. well, 80 there is really nothiug ta worry about. Honest. Now that I have reassured the Grade 9s, I can move on ta happier and more exciting news.
