Only 5 hours left!

Yay! I'm so happy. Its been a good week, money wise (even won 2 dollars on a crossword puzzle). But its also been boring.
So just checking in... bought a hat today with some christmas money. Very excited cause it looks good and hats usually don't. Got my hair cut the other day, looks good. Short but good, my ponytail is so small.
Did I mention I got a toolbox for Christmas? Yes, quite excited and a couple of cookbooks too and a couple really nice skirts, I shall be taking in the new year in nice fashion. Which is good cause 2006 has not been my best looking year.
Anyways... yep. Almost finished the Song of Unmaking, its good. Little weird but good. I like the characters.
Gonna go do someting or other. Later

Snippets from my day

snippets.. fun word
I've accepted that yes I may like classics but I'm not good at it, and that's somewhat okay.
Work is really boring when only about 10 people come in.
One of the janitors in the mall is nice, he bought me coffee. Calls me kiddo, which makes me miss Dave.
In another area of the mall, the security guard is really flirting with me. Fun but annoying after 4 ten hour shifts in a row.
I've almost finished The Testament. Its enoyable. John Grisham can pull off Christian novel very well. Lending this book to my mom.
Dave's home! I realize that home is actually an hour away but I've missed having friends around and he's sorta around when I can talk to him on msn.
Really want to go home on Monday. Don't want to stay here any longer, going crazy.
My family keeps calling Willow fat. Its mean. She's got feelings too you know.

Wicked...

Was well... wicked. I really really liked it. Great discussion of good and evil, really gets ya thinking. Has me quite interested in reading the actual Wizard of Oz now, as I've never seen the movie or read the book or anything like that. It incorporates a bit of the story into it but most of it takes place before hand. It was really well written, he's got some really poweful images in there as well as just really good writing. He's got this type of poem in it entitled the "quell", at one point the school mistressed reads it to Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West) and her peers. I really liked this one:

Sing a hymn of rectitude,
Ye forward-thinking multitude.
Advance in humble gratitude
For stictest rules of attitude.
To elevate the Common Good
In Brotherhood and Sisterhood
We celebrate authority.
Fraternity, Sorority,
United, pressing onward, we
Restrict the ills of liberty.
There is no numinosity
Like Power's generosity
In helping curb atrocity.
Bear down on the rod and foil the child.
("Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" By Gregory MaGuire, Page 84)

I like it. It helps if you know the contest but I still think its really cool. And my little brother just ran by naked...
Anyways, I've typed this all up with one hand since I seen to have sprained my left wrist and thumb area. Somehow.... though I didn't do anything but its quite agonizing. Tootles.

Grease

We watched Grease last night. It was on TV, we couldn't decide on anything so we decided on Grease. I love the music of that movie. Very much. However... the first time I saw that movie I was like 14 and a very naive and sheltered 14 year old at that. I didn't get half of the comments. Well this time I did and it make me very very mad. Women are regarded horribly in that movie. I could barely watch it. This is not usual for me, cause normally I'll let that stuff slide. But I was mortified... the comments gave the impression that women were only meant as sex things and for men's pleasure and that in order for a guy to like her, the girl had to be a gorgeous sex toy. I was ticked. The music in that movie just isn't as good anymore.
And warning, no guarantees I'm gonna let those comments slide anymore...

School is my arch enemy...

So I have a huge dilemna. Classics is not working out for me. I have not gotten a mark above a C+ in any classics course yet. This is not good as it is supposed to be my major, and I need a good average for law school. I know.. I shouldn't be worrying but I do and Its killing me. Literally.
Soo... I'm stuck. What do I do? Do I try and get my classics marks up higher this semester? Do I switch my classes around and take something else for a major? And if so, what? I need a double major if I want to continue the Law In Society and I do know I'm sticking to that. Or do I abandon Arts altogether? Or do I just forget university and work towards some dreams of things I'd really love to do even though success at them is nearly impossible?
I'm making an appointment with an advisor when I get back to Fredericton and maybe they can help me. If I do switch my major, what do I switch it to? And it means I won't be able to graduate in my four years... which bugs me cause I really want to get this done and get out of here and start a career or whatever... grr.

Work is really tiring me out. I work Wednesday to Saturday, 10-8 and Sunday 12-5. And all I do is sit there. Its depressing and just downright boring. Though I really don't have anything better to do. I've seen Marie over Christmas and that's it. No one else, haven't even had anyone call me to say Merry Christmas. I miss my friends, I don't have many but I miss 'em. Its weird, its been awhile since I've felt this lonely. The suicidalness and depression probably doesn't help much though.

Got my cavity filled today. Yeah, he didn't wait long enough for the freezing to kick in and apparently the doesn't stop when you kick and flail your arms, however grabbing his arms and digging your nails into it does help. He stopped. To say it was almost done. And then started again. I must say I'm in alot of pain now. But it just matches the pain in the rest of my body lately. But off I go... Wicked is really good, so I'm gonna continue reading.

Night at the Museum and The Green Mile (the book)

Very enjoyable. And very funny. Ben Stiller is fun, as is Dick Van Dyke and Owen Wilson. I really enjoyed it. Gave me a bit of a moodlift. But now I'm back at the house.... and you know what follows.
Saw the new trailer for The Simpson's Movie. Very funny, and I don't even like the Simpson's that much, though they are growing on me.
Also saw a poster for the Children of Men. That was exciting. A little ticked at the taglines however. One ran as follows -- "No Children for 20 years. Women are infertile" -- That's all I need to share really, nice of them to make it the women who are infertile and then make sure everyone knows that's what it is.

Finished the Green Mile by Stephen King a couple days ago. Really enjoyed it, the crying was a bit unexpected, I was expecting some different, not sure why but when I think Stephen King I think scarey or horror, not that. But I really really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing the movie (though I'm sure they've slaughtered the book in it but oh well).

Now I'm on to Gregory MacGuire's Wicked. And I'm going to go read now. Later

Happy Day after Christmas Day

Hope Everyone's Christmas was most splendid.
Mine was err... well interesting. Let's just say I really am looking forward to going home. Which I think I'm going to do earlier than originally planned. Possibly as early as Saturday. Which yes, means I'll be in Fredericton all alone on New Year's and for the week after that but that's okay. I kinda just want to be alone, as unhealthy and possibly life-threatening that might be. Anyhow, just popping into to wish everyone a Happy Holidays!

Goings On

So the last couples days have been pretty uneventful. I've done nothing really. Nothing productive at all... actually I have no idea what I've been doing cause time has passed really fast and I have no idea what I"ve done... I havent' read, I haven't cleaned, I haven't even watched the movies I said I'd watch, yet here it is, time to go home.
I've finished my Christmas shopping, just need to wrap a few things. I watched Dawn of the Dead with Dave the other night and this evening we watched the 3 of the Band of Brothers series thingies... I borrowed the others cause I really enjoy them and wish to spend the rest of my night watching them.
Why is it so bad that I don't like Christmas? I told that to someone the other day and the thought I was crazy. I then asked them if they could solve my feeling like hell right now, they said they couldn't so I told them to just keep their thoughts to themselves. See I don't fee well, cause I liked that person and was still rude to them. Grr... but whatever... I'll get over it right? A solid week of the blues is nothing right? gah.
Anyways, I've got some stuff to get done before I go home so I'm off. But I'll check in a few days.

As a result of the crazy amount of playing, Jack just came into the living room, looked at me and literally just fell right over. He's been lying on his back with all four paws in the air for about 10 minutes now. He's very cute and very pooped.

I'm enjoying the home alone thing. Okay. I lie. I am enjoying every part of it except for the going to bed part. When it comes time to go to bed I freak out. Its when I'm lying in bed, and its dark and quiet that I wish I wasn't alone in my apartment. I know there's nothing different about having the tv on and the tv off but it feels different. But I'm just weird that way. Gonna have to start going to bed when the cats are quieter and willing to sleep with me. Hopefully its something I can get used to if I want to live alone next year, but still not sure about that.
Unlike right now when Jack is going bezerk. My gosh he's crazy. But I just finished playing with them. I need to play with them more often. I need to play with Willow more often, I'll start to play with her but then Jack just comes running over and ruins it, earlier he actually stayed away long enough that I could actually get her into the game of bat-at-the-fuzzy-spider-with-the-jingly-legs. I think my neighbors probably hate me. The cats tend to run up and down the hallway. I kinda wonder if they can hear it or not... and if they can then they definetly hate me, cause they always run around at about 2 or 3 am.
Well... I'm off to do something or other. Not tired, I've actually had a few good nights of sleep in the last little while so the string of insommnia filled nights are well overdue.

Saturday Fun

Its Saturday.
I didn't tackle downtown, by the time I was ready to go out I was not in the mood to tackle huge crowds of people...so instead I went to the mall. Idiot that I am. From now on, I finish my Christmas shopping before November. But I'm still not done. I still need to pick up something else for Mom and something for my grandmother and a couple things for Dad. But then I'll be done. So glad too.
Watched the 6th Star Wars movie with Dave earlier. I have no seen the first three... and when I say first three I mean last three.... or something like that. Yes.
Now I'm watching Saturday Night Live - people are always talking about this show and I've never seen it, so I thought I'd watch it. Its quite enjoyable actually. I'm also reading Stephen King's "The Green Mile", which is okay, I can't seem to get into it though, but hopefully I'll find it better after I get farther in.
Anyways that's all I have to share for tonight. Have a good night all.

Done!

So I'm done. So glad too.
Wrote my last exam this evening. Ancient Science. I went into this exam being really really confident. So confident that I took all last evening off (from about 6pm to 4am) and hardly glanced at a book. I had studied before that I assure you though, and I studied most of today. But got to the exam and I wanted to die. Apparently we studied Aristotle. I did all my readings for that class, and missed maybe 4 classes (I liked this class) and I do not remember EVER discussing Aristotle to that extent. Luckily I don't feel too bad about not doing well cause most of the class was as lost as I was. One guy even asked during the exam, "Is this the right exam?" Talking to a few people afterwards I realized I was far from the only to be lost on it.
But oh well, its over. Hopefully I did well on my final paper and that'll make up for it.
So.. exams are done. And I have a whole week to do nothing! Whoot! I say that now, gimme like 2 days and I'll be bored out of my mind. But I do have plans. Allow me to share.
Its only midnight, I'm not tired. So I'm gonna organize school stuff, and my computer.. its feeling unorganized and its bugs me. So gonna tidy up some folders and reorganize my music and school notes. I already tidied the living room (annnnd Jack just stuck his nose in the candle...anyways...) already, the kitchen is a disaster. My roomate did not leave the place very tidy... but oh well. So I'm gonna tackle the kitchen tomorrow. Then I'm babysitting Peter tomorrow night, befor that I'm gonna run to the bank though and pay the power bill and pick up a christmas gift for them, as they have been really wonderful to me since I moved up here.
On Saturday... the plan is to go the Farmer's Market downtown and do some Christmas/Window shopping to get me feeling a little less down about the whole Christmas thing. Oh and the bookstore cause I want books to read next week! Books!
Then on Saturday night... I have no idea.. books, movies and alcohol...? Yes.. I think that works. I have a couple coolers I want to get rid of, cause I'm gonna do the crazy diet Marie was on after Christmas and I can't drink on it.
Anyways, Sunday evening I'm supposed to be visiting Mary, if she isn't working on Monday, if she is then I'm not gonna bother.
Anyways, those are my plans. I head home a week from today, so I need to get my Christmas shopping done before then.
So, off to my organizing. Yay! Done school for the term! Alrightly. Later all.

Just one left

So I wrote Philosophy of Law on Monday and I must say I was pretty confident that it went well. It was easy... actually it was too easy. He had given us 6 review questions to focus on, well the exam turned out to be those 6 questions and 3 more. However, we only had to answer 3 of the nine. So I got to answer 3 of the 6 for which I'd prepared answers for. It got better though. Of the 3 questions, we had to decide which would be worth the 50% of the exam. Well I chose the three I'd write and just decided that whichever I ended up writing more for and a better essay for would be the one I chose in the end. I had a feeling I'd write more on Devlin cause going into it that's what I thought I knew better. Well I ended up writing 3 1/2 pages on the Oake's Tests and its application to prohibiting the burning of a Canadian Flag as a means of protest. And the two answers that I thought I knew alot on I wrote like 1 1/2 pages for. Now I hope I actually wrote correct things for the Oakes' Test. So that was Philosophy of Law. I am happy cause I'm taking the Senior Philosophy of Law seminar next semester, the subject is Criminal Liability, anyways, yeah and I'd like to be somewhat confident that I know what's going on in the whole realm of legal theory and philosophy.
I have one exam left. Ancient Science tomorrow night. I haven't started studying yet... that's the plan for tonight. I slept too long again last night. I am sooo sore. I really can't lie in bed for more than 5 hours without getting really sore and 13 hours is a little over that number.
Pauline and Melissa leave for home tomorrow morning. Leaving me alone for a week. Yes.. I'm looking forward to having the place to myself for awhile, now I've just gotta figure out what I'm gonna do, though I do have some ideas.
Jack was lying on the laptop earlier. Very cute. Here's a picture. Enjoy, cause now I must go study.

I like it... well... I do..not the part about it being true though... though I think my hair is beautiful... most days.

Exam in 11 hours...and counting...

I have just started studying for my philosophy exam, tomorrow at 2. And when I say studying I mean, reading the material I haven't read since the midterm.
I've gotten through one case. And I'm onto the next. I've made shortbread cookies and icing and if I was a huge fan I'd eat some, but I'm not. So I've made up little containers of em for friends. Pauline is making her favorite dessert, "Sex in a pan", with a title like that, one must be very careful what they say around the baker. Its 7:15. I'll fill you in on the rest of the evening as my means of procrastination.

7:55 - Pauline wants to order food, it sounds good to me. She wants pizza at pizza delight. I don't want pizza... so I'm going for fettucine alfredo. Its pretty much the same price sooo.. and its a bit healthier. Soo... anyways, gonna go study while I wait for the food.

8:55 - Food still isn't here. I'm a bit ticked. However I finished my last case reading. Which is good. Some interesting to share on the subject of pornography however. The last case I read was about it and charter freedoms and such, and there were these two passages that I found interesting, especially in their complete opposite views.

"Good pornography has value because it validates women's will to pleasure. It celebrates female nature. It validates a range of female sexuality that is wider and truer than that legitimate by the non-pornographic culture. Pornography when it is good celebrates both female pleasure and male rationality." ~ R. West, "The Feminist-Conservative Anti-Pornography Alliance and the 1986 Attorney General's Commission on the Pornography Report" (1987)

"Women, particularly, are depreived of unique human character or indentity and are depicted as sexual playthings, hysterically and instantly responsive to male sexual demands. They worship male genitals and their own value depends upon the quality of their genitals and breasts." ~ Shannon J., in R v. Wagner (1985)

I found it quite interesting, as both sides have really good points. Anyways, food's here!

10:50 - I've eaten, showered, has desert (sex to be exact... in a pan that is... the desert.. with chocolate... oh never mind), I've taken Dave cookies and his own little container of sex.... in a pan. I've wiped out on the ice outside (that's gonna hurt tomorrow) and now I'm going to study. Yes. I am.

12:30 - Yay! I read Mill's "On Liberty"... boring but interesting is something can be that way... now its one to Devlin's essay on the prohibition of homosexual conduct in private between consenting adults. This one proves to be much more interesting. Gonna make hot chocolate too!

2:15 - Okay. Devlin was much more interesting. Though I must question how he expects law enforcment to enforce this whole thing if its private... without infringing on rights to privacy... but I guess that's for another time right? So now its on to Hart's criticism's of Devlin's ideas and then some writing... reading is starting to make me fall asleep, so I think I'll sit down and write up some outlines for the essay questions. I've been nodding off a bit.. so I've set my alarm so just in case I do fall asleep I'm set and won't end up sleeping in too late to study more in the morning.

2:40 - Jon was online and started talking to me. I have yet to return to my studying... but that's ok. I haven't talked to him in awhile and he makes me feel good bout myself... which is rare these days so I'll take it!

4:25 - So I got all the essay questions written (except 1)... never read anymore though. Figured I could do it all by just reading the notes and intros and I could. Thank goodness. Only got distracted twice. The first time was by my legal dictionary.... turns out it had citation stuff in it, and then by Willow who came in looking for attention. I don't usually give it to her at this hour but today I did. She was quite cuddly and it was very nice. Jack is now trying to eat my pudding.
Anyways, I have one last case to read and one last essay by Hart.

6:35 - Okay. I'm done... finally. Gonna try and rest my eyes for a few hours and then I'll get up and head into the university with Pauline, study with Lyndsay, then write the exam. Then study for Irish... soo night!

Shallow Hal and Legally Blonde

Okay... someone shoot me. I can't handle many more of these romantic comedies.
And Legally Blonde... wow.. that was horrid...

Exam Week 2

Tonight: Make Cookies, review cases on international and constitutional law, watch a couple episodes of 24.
Sunday: Study Philosophy. Alot.
Monday: Study Philosophy with Lyndsay. Write Philosophy exam at 2. Study for Irish Exam. Write Irish Exam at 7.
Tuesday: Sleep. Finish "Timaeus" and study for Ancient Science. Watch Standoff, House and My Boys
Wednesday: Study for Ancient Science Exam.
Thursday: Study for Ancient Science Exam. Write Exam at 7. Go home. Cry and maybe have a drink.
Friday: Realize I have been officially rejected by someone who I thought was absolutely adorable, and that I have failed my 100% final and must rearrange my schedule for next semester. Email Advisor regarding rearranging schedule and dropping Irish Studis.

And that's the end. Then I have a full week before I go home. What I"ll do I don't know. Gonna visit Mary on Sunday and Monday I think. Hopefully spend some time with Dave. Do my Christmas Shopping. Read a bunch of books and watch some movies (both of which I will let you in on in the next little while).
However, now there are shortbread cookies to be made, and philosophy of law cases to be reviewed... err... read actually. So tootles.

The Holiday

Not my type of movie. Yes, even if I did tear up at the adorable old man. Not my type. However, Jude Law = Adorable!!!
It was cute. And if you like romance then I'm sure it was great. But I don't. They just make me depressed. So I just spent 10 dollars to get even more depressed than usual. Thanks Hollywood!

My Seduction Style... uh huh

Happy Feeeeetttt!

How could I forget??!?!?
Finally saw Happy Feet! It was adorable, there is nothing like penguins, but there is nothing better than dancing and singing penguins.
It was very well done. I was impressed they even brought in some environmental and political issues, my only complaint being that they tried to fit them all in in just the last part, and they sorta forgot bout them in the first part. So okay, it wasn't supery de duperly written but it had penguins and Robin Williams, Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman so it was redeemed.
I highly recommend it. Very very much. Good movie. It will soooo be my stress reliever before every exam I ever write again = in other words, can't wait for it to come out on dvd!

Movies I've watched Recently...and other things...

Mean Girls - Didn't actually expect to like it. But actually enjoyed it. Rachel McAdams was in it so that was good.
Stars Wars... - I don't know which ones. They were good. I know Star Wars now. I'm kinda excited.
Bridget Jone's Diary - Usually don't like Romance but it was okay. Had some good laughs and she reminded me of me so that made it fun and kinda depressing at times.

In other entertainment news, I watched the new TBS comedy called "My Boys" today, it was very enjoyable. Funny, and lighthearted. I really liked it. Also reminded me of me, not nearly as pretty as Jordana Spiro but yeah when it comes to relationships with guys it reminded me of me, especially with recent interactions with "boys", I'm apparently just better as "one of the guys" which is actually find with me. As much as I complain about it sometimes, I still prefer it to other ways things could be. Made me also think about my living situation for next year. I wouldn't mind living with a couple guys. I don't like living with girls but a couple guys I could handle. None of the drama and the silliness. But anyways, unlikely to happen.

Pauline and I began the 2nd season of 24 this evening. We finished season 1 a few weeks ago and just haven't had time to start the next. But we've started. Ironically when both of us should have been studying. Anyways, should be good and intense again. I find the acting a bit weak but otherwise I enjoy it.

But now its time for bed. Tomorrow proves to be busy: making christmas cookies, exchanging gifts with Pauline and Melissa, then supper and a movie with them, as well as some major Philosophy Studying and hopefully stealing a conversation with Dave at some point. But yeah.. nothing too exciting yet plenty to do. So, I must try and increase this week's sleep hours by a few, so night!

Exam Week 1

Okay, this week's gonna be sorta busy, but not. Which is good. Okay, not it'll be busy.

Monday (that's today): Promise Pauline I'd decorate, so Christmas decorating. Want to make stew, and perhaps make a batch of sugar cookies or someting. Finish last load of laundry so I have clean towels. Read the 400 pages of Mythology that I have left.
Tuesday: If my back isn't starting to feel better - make appt for massage somewhere, Read Hart, and Grotius on International Law and cases. Study for Mythology like its going out of style.
Wednesday: Read Mill, Devlin and Hart on Criminal Law and Casese. Memorize pictures and maps for myth. Finish Pauline and Melissa's Christmas gifts, then Movie with Mary.
Thursday: Study Study Study Study for Mythology until my brains turn to mush and then keep studying.
Friday: Write 100% Mythology exam at 9am - oh God I'm gonna die! Meet Lynsday at 1pm to study for Phil of Law. Come home and forget about school for the rest of the night.
Saturday: Take some time to Study Irish for Monday night, return to reviewing cases and theories for philosophy. Christmas gift exchange with Melissa and Pauline, movie.
Sunday: Study for Philosophy, Meet with Mary and Melissa to study Irish (??)

So it should be an interesting week. But for now, I'm going to go eat my soup, put a hot pack on my back, and then find my christmas decorations. Happy Snow everyone!

Oh, and whenever I want to procrastinate - http://wallyandosborne.com/narchives.php - Comics to read!!! Love it. And its Dave's fault. Just so ya know. So when you get hooked you can blame it on him.

In Honor of the Snow

Happy First Real Snow!!!

A Letter to Pets

Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.
For the last time: there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, or meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years. Canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly, talk back or hold a grudge.

School-work Avoidance

Some people, like my roomate and her friend, eat. Some people drink. Some people watch tv or read. Me? I clean.
Since 7:30 this morning, I have done 3 loads of laundry, swept and mopped, scrubbed the bathroom, cleaned the cupboards, cleaned the fridge, vacuumed the floor, cleaned my room, and washed several sink fulls of dishes.
I'm crazy. And very very very tired.

umm...

I think that's an appropriate title.
I feel like I haven't stopped for the last 3 days. Well... most of the week actually. And I think its starting to take its toll.
With the coming of winter, the sad stuff is starting to set in.. and fast, my back seems to have decided to wage war against the rest of my body, and my sleeping patterns are going downhill, quickly, day by day. Exams are quickly approaching and I've really slacked this semester... as I do most semesters... so they're won't be any complaining coming from me regarding marks this year, as its my fault.
In other news, New Brunswick is the most blissful province to live in, apparently. I'm doing something wrong. Neighbors have finally moved in downstairs, I'm hoping the gorgeous boy helping them move is moving in too. My cat has an eye infection (she looks like she's blind in one eye... I feel bad, but I don't think this could be my fault...), or at least that's what the vet over the phone thought it was. I can't get her in today, but tomorrow morning we'll be making a trip in. Which is actually a good thing cause I need cat food. I'm hoping to put her on the weight control stuff soon, but she needs another month or two on the stuff for her bladder problems. Then I'll put her on the weight-stuff, and then after she loses some weight, her and Jack can go on the same thing, which will be nice, as its very difficult to get them to eat their own seperate food. Although they are definetly getting better at keeping to their own dishes.
So its been a full week of habitat stuff. Sunday was wreath-making session 1, as previously posted, Thursday was bakesale day. It was great. I got lots of work done. Sitting there all day was a little slow running but I got plenty of reading down when I was there alone. And then I got to meet one of the other girls on the trip. We're going to get along well. Just hopefully not too well, as the conversation got interesting a few times. But anyways, then one of the girls who helped with the wreaths on Sunday showed up, I also really like her. She's really nice. I like nice people and I also really like getting to know new people. Then last night we started back up with the wreaths... people who do this for a living are crazy. Absolutely nuts.
But its fun, time spent with good people, doing good things for a good cause right? Right.
So we get to do it again today, I had hoped to have plans tonight... but no such luck. Yeah, things didn't turn out... or I wouldn't know really.. as I haven't heard anything. Okay, sorry for the rant that is about to follow. I don't get it. I can understand not hearing from someone after the first date for awhile... fine, you've only seen them once, so what.. but after 4 or more.... ? See this is why I only try and like people who I know wont' be running away anytime soon. I feel like an idiot really. I knew he was too good to be any good. But meh, I wanted to be single for awhile anyways, and I'm pretty sure I need some more time to get over other people first, but.... grrr... if he does contact me again.... I can't promise I'll brush him off and say forget it... cause I'm a fool and feel its a natural thing to get keep getting hurt.
Anyways... I'm supposed to be going out with Melissa and Pauline tomorrow night. Its our last chance to go out before exams and before everyone goes home for Christmas. I was looking forward to it, until my back started hurting. I really don't want another repeat of the halloween going out. Cause that was horrible. And I really have no desire to drink... not when there is so much stuff I should be doing, that and its more likely for me to fall and hurt my back even more.
I think I'll go anyways, though. I can have plenty of fun not drunk, but drugged from the pain meds. Which I think I need to take before I go back to the wreath-making.
So I need to start thinking about apartments and living situations for next summer and next year.... Pauline wont' be living with me next year, her and Melissa want to find a house and some other people and they both know me well enough now to know that I can't handle that. Yep..... not sure what I want to do... especially with the summer, all depends on the job situation, but I'm pretty sure I can't move home for the summer... but for the fall I'm even more unsure. I can find another roomate and stay here. I can just look for a one bedroom in this general area, as I like it here and its cheaper, or I can look for something downtown.... which would be more expensive, but a more central area, or I can look for something near the university, which would be even more expensive and would probably involve other students, so that's quickly out as I don't like other students. Or I can do residence... which means losing my cats, and being around students all the time, sharing a room and a bathroom, in a place that makes me homesick. You know, I think that one's out too.
That leaves me with finding a roomate, and staying here or looking for a one-bedroom around here or downtown... they both have their advantages and disadvantages... but oh well. I've got until March before I have to worry bout that too much.
Okay... I just moved out of my comfortable position and my back is hurting again. So I'm going to go eat maybe before heading back to the wreaths... after I pay bills and go to the bank... yes. And get hot chocolate.
Yeppers. Okay. Later!
