WHEW. SUPER (LATE) LONG RESPONSES:

@Icelilly: Yeah, I'm probably going to settle in BC to start, since that'll be close to home (mom loves Washington and will never leave, except maybe for Scotland), but once I get my bearings I'd like to travel. I've been all over the US and a good chunk of Europe, so there's no chance I'll confine myself to just BC. XD

Arrgh. The only problem with days off school is that you get behind. Seriously, I missed three days because I moved, and I'm still running to catch up. God, I'm terrified to miss days next year--the whole, "IB procrastinatin' now; IB dead later" thing scares me. D:

It's not TERRIBLY hard to get a passport, mostly annoying to round up the documents, photos, and ID--and then the waiting period--but overall it's not a great ordeal. In Washington they're rolling out some "enhanced ID" that can act as a passport into Canada, but I don't know about that...

Speaking of pictures, I'll need to remember to get some pictures of my sunflowers when they're grown (or maybe even now, lol) so I can post them later! :D I wish I could've gone to the tulip festival in Skagit county, but I missed it--and apparently a "World Tulip Summit" I hadn't heard about. :C Here's a link: http://www.tulipfestival.org/

@Izzybizzy-aru: I'm glad the pots worked out! That incident with the flying fertilizer doesn't sound like it was fun, but I hope your experience with your new sunflowers goes well.

I have a Chinese friend with relatives around Beijing who was freaking out about the winter storms... I wonder what a Chinese winter is like... is that strange? XD The school thing sounds like it was awesome, though.

@Anons: Cool! Glad to hear about all this green-i-fying going on! It sucks about the flowers that died down South (I know how that goes), but I hope the other attempts will be successful.
