EMCP!

Greetings earthlings,

     What? A legitimate post from Olivia for the first time in forever?! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?!?!?!?!

     Yes people. I am posting something longer than one paragraph, hold your applause. Okay let's start.

     Basically for those who don't know I went to this thing called Mini-Enrichment in May which is this thing where if you're a student in Grades eight to twelve your teacher can recommend you to spend a week in University taking  a University lesson and such. It's fun.

     Anyways I got recommended so I went and I am going to talk about it now.

     So I applied for ten courses varying from Slavery to Disney Movies and naturally I got accepted to the Disney one. It's called "Bippoty-Boppity-What?! Jumping Down The Rabbit Hole of Classic Disney Films" And the class consisted of one teacher, Sarah, who was really nice and wonderful. Around twenty Grade 8 girls who were really quirky and strange, and then one boy, Josh, who was in Grade 11. I felt bad for him.

     The class itself was amazing and we brushed a lot of topics including ageism, sexism, ableism, racism, etc, into our topics and at the same time read five classic folk tales and compare to Disney's interpretations and write our own four page folk tale. We also had six lectures including one guest lecture about the composition in Disney films and how it mixes with the movies and generally is very stereotypical and not at all in sync with the culture of the film. For those who were unsure, that's a lot to do in a week. My friends were making funny of me because I was taking a Disney course but it was freaking complicated okay people?! haha, no but seriously fun times.

     I think my favourite part of EMCP was not the course itself but the amount of freedom we had. For example we were allowed to eat and drink in the classroom and also because it was meant to feel like University we really didn't have to pay attention if we didn't want to. Like you were allowed cell phones and such. I enjoyed the freedom.

     Anyways, it was really a lot of fun and hopefully I'll get to do it again last year. Definetly an amazing week!

Dickinson Days Stuff!

Greetings earthlings,

     So in the un-disclosed place I live we have this celebration every year called Dickinson Days and it's to celebrate the founder of the place I live who's last name was Dickinson even though no one really cares about him anymore and we just go because it's fun. Anyways I got some stuff and now you get to see it. Fun times.

1. I got these really cute feather earrings from these two really nice ladies and yeah. Also they were only 5 bucks and I wear a lot of blue. yay!

2. / 3. I got these two rings but not from the same person. One (the dark one with the gems) came from an elderly couple who had them really really cheap. I paid $2.50 for that sucka which is an epic price and I really love it. the other one (light beaded) was hand made locally by the women selling them and they were beautiful so I had to buy one. Also it was only 3 dollars. Score 

Bonus: There's my hand!

4. Emma and I saw this women selling purses and a lot of them had cats on them and we both really really really love cats so Emma got the red leather cat purse and I got this change purse probably intended for an 80 year old women but I don't care in the slightest 

5. Also afterwards we went to Giant Tiger for a bit and there's this movie section and I found 50 First Dates. Which was one of my favourite movies as a kid and I watched it religiously so naturally I bought and I have full intention to watch it tonight. 

     So yeah, that's about it! I also bought a snow cone but I ate it so I couldn't take a picture. Well this was fun. I have a bunch of posts in the making so look out for more of Olivia blogging fun time!
