Dear (shy) Harper-loving Hashemite,

Don't support Stephen Harper. He's a dangerous cheat and liar who will turn out to be the worst Prime Minister since Confederation, yet he will be able to make lots of people fall into his game of lies, deception, cheats and dirty tricks. Don't fall for it. Also, in 2007, don't support Mario Dumont. He's a stupid tool who is more incompetent than anybody else in politics. Also, as appealing as he may look, don't support Sarkozy, especially when he says "je ne vous mentirais pas" because he's lying when he says that he won't lie. Don't support any of the other candidates for that matter.

Don't despair about your crappy retard life in Riyadh. It sucks, yeah, but you only have grade 9 left in that place before you move to Ottawa, where I'm sure you'd never have thought you'd actually end up living and studying. Grade 9 will be awful, but it's a necessary evil to make you appreciate the epicness of CB. C what? CB!

Take Gym in Grade 10. You'll hate it. But because of that class you'll meet your best friend who will lead you to having the best group of friends you can hope for. Become friends with a kid named Michael in this aforementioned gym class at your new school.

Don't worry about IB. It's all largely overrated, though you may panic a few nights here and there, but you'll pass with high colours despite everything. And, even though it will take 4 years to make sense, for all you do, become obsessed with Brazilian history. It's worth it and it will significantly help you.

Don't worry about being the least popular kid in Riyadh, because you will go through something in July 2008 which will alter your life beyond your wildest dreams and which will play a major role in, unexpectedly, getting two of the most popular girls at CB to be good friends with you. In addition to, as previously mentioned, the most epic group of friends you could ever imagine getting. You will probably scoff at this, but this group of friends, to be known in CB history as the "A-Locker Hallway", of which you will be one of the key figures, will be mentioned at the June 2010 Valedictorian's speech.

Sincerely,

Harper-loating Hashemite
