Well; everyone is dieing to know how I did at Canadian Nationals!
Before I even get to that, though.
The first day: I almost got on the wrong plane to Calgary. Close enough to Edmonton. If it were anywhere nicer, I wouldn�t have got off the plane.

We also watched Fear Dot Com on my laptop. Great movie, although the freakiest thing happened. Mike went to
