I need to get to sleep earlier. I didn't end up going to sleep until at least 12 last night, and then i woke up an hour later because ... I have no idea. It sucked. So I got like, 6 hours of sleep and now I'm cranky and kinda tired. But hey.
Tomorrow's Remembrance Day here in Canada. It's similar to Veteran's Day, but we don't get any time of school/work/etc. Instead, all the provinces celebrate a moment of silence at 11 their time. It's harder at school's - especially mine because there's a lunch (we have 3 lunches) at 11. But we are going to assemble and pray for our soldiers over-seas and thank the soldiers that gave their life for our freedom.
Lest we forget.
In Flanders fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing, fly.
Scare heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw,
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.

If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.
