Trips around the Maritimes

and other exciting events of the last few days.
Skipped classes on Friday to go home and see Marie. I'm going to miss her. Alot. I've shed a good many tears over that in the last few days. She gave me a huge thing of books. I need another bookshelf. I was originally going to take the bus back up to Fredericton on Friday night but Dad offered to take me up. He neglected to tell me it was going to be after he went to Halifax and Moncton and Woodstock. So I got home around 5am Saturday morning.
Dad thinks I should go into something easier in school, like Business or Engineering he said. Its times like these that solidify in my mind that I am nothing like my parents, as least not in the intellectual department. This conversation also involved the ever-fun argument about whether I should be in university in the first place, cause you see, my father is a male chauvinist pig and believes that women belong in the home looking after his needs and those of his offspring. I quickly assured him I was nothing like the women he goes for and therefore will be nothing like my mother. Sure, I plan on children but I don't plan on staying at home all the time, yes, I just might go back to work.
Alex thinks I should live with Dave, cause then Dave could protect me. Apparently I need protection. I told him I could look after myself, he said that girls needed boys to look after them. I was not impressed. I do not like what this child is learning and I'm not sure who to blame it: my mother, my father, his school teachers or just society in general? Or most likely a combination of all of the above.
A couple friends of Pauline's came to visit yesterday. We went to the art gallery and then to the mall. Then returned to get Dave to go for supper. Supper was good, except my teeth are bothering me. Like aching painfully so I wasn't able to enjoy it as much. And they forgot my chicken on my flat'za. Which was fine with me. But Pauline insisted on pointing it out. The waitress offered to get me another but it was fine without the chicken. It really was. I can deal with not eating meat all the time. Though Pauline's assertivess did pay off as I did not have to pay for it and since I only got ice water (which everyone scoffed at when I ordered), I got a free meal! Was nice. Since I really didn't want to be spending alot of money.
We then went and played pool. Which was fun. There were six of us but we only got one table so we took turns. Melissa and I played each other and were mocked a good deal as the game took forever. Then Dave and I played Pauline and Melissa and we sooo won! And then we lost against Denise and Kevin but that's okay cuase they were definetly better than us. I enjoy pool. I'm horrid at it at first but I get a bit better, until I get overconfident and then it just goes downhill from there.
We returned to the apartment to play cranium and have a few drinks, turned out to be more than a few for some people. Silly drunks bother me. I have no problem with sillyness in general but silly drunks annoy me (though I'm probably one myself), I tend to just get a bit lightheaded and very touchyfeely when I drink. And I might giggle a bit more than usual and oh, I do much better at cranium when drinking. Much much better. Anyways, so that was last evening. Fun and amusing, good times had by all, better times had by some.
Ooo, I finally spent my Christmas money from Dad, Its been sitting in my wallet and I couldn't decide what to spend it on, as I'd been forbidden to spend it on school, which is okay, cause I got a bursary and don't need to now! So I decided on slippers and the first season of Bones. I'm very excited about Bones, and the slippers don't fit even though they are the biggest size they had. No, I don't have big feet. Also finally spent my chapters gift card. Decided on Mirror Mirro by Gregory Maguire, which should be enjoyable when I get time to read it... and all the other books on my list.
Saw guy who I went to the formal with. I did share that right? Okay, whatever, anyways. Its been almost two months since I've seen or heard from him. I really wasn't in a mood to deal with him, so I quickly escaped but to no avail as he saw me anyways, and decided to say hi. Of course no mention as to why I haven't heard from him or what I did wrong but oh well.
Anyways, I'm going to go wash dishes and make supper and study and watch some Bones (!!). So later!
