So far...

... I'm not stressing the ____ out this weekend. I AM, however, at the library again, which DOES s-u-c-k. Ah well. I'm studying for a pharmacology test. And it's not as interesting as it sounds. (10 more weeks, 10 more weeks, 10 more weeks...).

Matt and I watched a movie last night that was just terrible. Death Defying Acts. I don't have much to say about except that it also s-u-c-k-e-d.

Anyway, I should get back to studying. It looks kinda nice outside today, which makes it even more of a downer to be stuck in the library! However, after my test on Tuesday, the rest of my week should be kinda slack, so I'm looking forward to that.

Haha, now that I put the 10 more weeks mantra in writing (see above) I'm nervous that I'm jinxing myself. Everything I hand in, every test I take, I wonder if I'm going to pass it so I don't get stuck in school for another semester! Fingers crossed. It's kinda sad really. I wanted to put off booking grad photos, ordering a degree frame, making a counter to countdown to the last day etc. just because I'm afraid that that will jinx it all! I just want to be done so bad!

I think people think Matt and I fight all the time...

... which isn't true. Or at least, they are usually in good fun.

Last night Matt and I went to the hockey game which was a good time. We went to Moxie's first which I have been craving since Nancy and I decided to forgo our usual tradition last week (not successful) and it was so yummy! We went to the game and were, like, an hour early, where we proceeded to chat and such. The girls came out to pick up the hockey pucks after the warm-up and I was watching them in their TINY skirts bending ALL the way over, and Matt and I ended up getting into a fight about feminism. I say "fight" but really, our "fights" are usually good natured and hilarious and end with Matt saying that I'm totally unreasonable and argumentative but he loves me anyway :). ANNNNYway, right after our fight when I was pretending not to speak to Matt and had a fake mad face on, wouldn't you know that that would be the time that they would put us on the Enmax Energy Board (jumbotron)? Never mind that I was stuffing my face with popcorn at the time. Oh yes, you'd better BELIEVE it was attractive. It was actually pretty embarrassing being on there. They left the camera on us so long I felt like diving under my seat. I've told some people that we were on the big screen and EVERYONE has asked if it was the "smooch cam". Can you imagine? I would have died right there.

Can I just have a moment...

to stress the __ out?!?!

Oh gosh. I am working on my take-home midterm assignment and I am STRESSED! It's due on Tuesday, 5 questions with NO PAGE LIMIT! It is so difficult to write without a page restriction. Oh man, I should have started this over reading week, like I had planned out in my agenda. I had tons of fun doing other stuff, but I should have been doing work too. Ugh. Yikes. Yikes. Yikes.

Can it please be May 2009 now? I just want to be DONE!!!!

All things

I haven't updated for ages, and for once I feel like many things have happened since I last updated. It's a much better feeling than not having anything interesting going on in life and posting nothing!

I'll start with last Thursday, since that's as far back as I remember.

Lo and I tried the Wok Box for eats and I found it kinda disappointing. It was pretty pricy, and I didn't love the food. The ginger beef had a really odd flavour! I think I'll stick with the GB Peking House; same price and MUCH more delicious food. We certainly had a lovely date though, and ended it by watching the first episode of the new Survivor season! I think it will be a good one. We always have fun watching though.

Friday night I ended up seeing He's Just Not That Into You with Lo and her friends. It was good! Really long, but I didn't realize how long it was until we got up and checked the time and saw how late it was. That's a good sign though; I hate sitting in movies and feeling like I have been sitting there forEVER. It was so strange though; just when it looked like the movie was wrapping up pretty nicely, the people next to us got up and left. It was so WEIRD. Like, really? It made to sense to me.

Saturday Matt and I babysit three of our most favourite little kids. My favourite lines included the 6 yo asking Matt why he has stamps on his arms (the tattoos) and asking me if my boyfriend is married. To which I replied "not that I know of". I have never technically asked the question though. Hmmmm...

Also, the baby LOVED him some Matt this time. Not that he didn't last time, but last time he fell asleep in MY arms (a feeling I l-o-v-e) but this time he wanted Matt to hold him. When I tried to take him, he started to cry and hugged Matt. I left him alone and he put his head on Matt's shoulder, giving me a dirty look. It was so funny/sweet.

Sunday Matt took me on a surprise date to a nice restaurant downtown-ish. It was yummy. There was a guy at the table next to us (and I mean pretty much touching- the place is TINY) that was being such a jerk to his girlfriend. She would say something, like "I get treated differently at work because I'm so young. I wish I was older" and he'd give her a hard time and say how HE was clearly superiour because HE doesn't wish to be anything but what he is. It was a totally condescending manner that he had though. It made me happy that I don't have a boyfriend who talks to me that way. Not that I would put up with that shit, but still...

We came home and watched the Amazing Race and the Office with Lo. We're totally done with the Office on DVD though, and I'm so sad! I can't wait until summer when the season that is on TV now comes to DVD. YAY!

Since then, I have been up to other interesting stuff. I got to see Ashley and Nancy, watched three movies: Righteous Kill (I didn't understand it), Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2 (cute and better than the first), and Coraline (so GOOD but in 3D- not a huge fan). It's been a good break so far, although I am being FAR less productive than I ought to be. Boo-urns.

100th Post!

It's my 100th! I don't know if that is a good number or a bad one for how long I have had this blog, but that's my count!

I really like my new template, mostly because of the picture. I have spring fever now, in that I am TOTALLY DONE with winter. On Thursday, it was nice enough to wear capris, which made me want to dig out all of my nice weather clothes! So boo for not being able to!

I had a great time with Lo and her friends last night. We went to a pub for karaoke, and Lo and I even got up and sang! Like I was saying on the way home, it is so silly how nervous you are about it, but once you get up there it is no big deal at all! We sang Don't Stop Believin'. Good times. :)

Lo has inspired me quite a bit. She is very into green living and healthy choices at the moment, and while I think I am usually good at making good choices food-wise, I could certainly go greener. We went to a health food store on Thursday, and not only did I pick up some cool stuff (green guide, preservative free jam, and organic chocolate), I found the Cranium Page-a-day calender for 99 cents! It was so awesomely amazing! I hope we can visit the health food store more often! Maybe a more regular Thursday activity (which will work even better when I have my own house to buy food for).

Things I'm looking forward to in the near future... a few movies for sure! I'm exciting to see both He's Just Not That Into You as well as Coraline. Hooray!

School is a bit strange lately. I'm there, and I'm doing work, but it feels like I'm not in school, which is weird. I think that I'm not taking it as seriously, which isn't good because I have to keep my GPA up, and try to increase it if possible. One thing I'm really missing is riding the train with Lo! I sure took that year and a half of us riding the train to and from school for granted. I miss having her to talk to in that almost 2 hour commute per day. :( And the always funny/sometimes nerdy talks we would have. We are keeping up our Thursday dates though, and Survivor starts this Thursday! I hope we are able to find a way to keep it up when she moves!

Due to the spring fever, I've been thinking a lot about the summer! I definitely want to ride my [new] bike a lot more. I technically got it last year, but not until October/November, so there wasn't a lot of riding time left. So I'd like to do more of that. Maybe that could be part of my greener living! When I want to go to the stores close to my house, or even visit Lo in her new house, I could ride my bike! Also, I'd like to dig out my rollerblades and get them going again. They haven't had a good run in a while! Also, plenty of lake time, camping (for once, even though it's promised EVERY YEAR that it will happen), and maybe a road trip somewhere! I feel like I was robbed of summer 2008 since I was in school for most of it. It was good in the end, because it means I can graduate this year, but it sure did suck at the time.

Whew. That was a longer entry than I thought. It has been a while though.

Ooh, one more thing: I found out my GRADUATION DATE!!!!! JUNE 10TH, 2009!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

Under construction...

Yes, that last template was brutal. I loved the bright purple, but it was difficult (for me) to read the white text. Plus, I hate how NARROW the writing spot was. I tried to fix that, as you may have noticed, but that sent all my links to the bottom. Argh! So much for me being proud of myself for being able to play with HTML.

Be back soon. Searching for template.

I really...

... can't shake this lack of blog-spiration.

Maybe I'll just post a new favourite picture today and hope my muse returns sometime soon.
