Grandpa and I are writing Christmas cards. I still have a batch to finish and they're mostly the ones that I'm sending extra stuff with besides a card. I'm excited to say he has a lot of friends around the world, too. I love my gramps. :)

I went for a jog earlier and mannn, it's really cold. I'm still defrosting haha. Don't forget your Vitamin C's ♥

Holy crap, it's 6 degrees right now, but on Monday (my last day up the mountain), it's going to go as low as 1 degree!!! In other news, I think I've finally gotten sick. I have a runny nose, a dry cough, and my eyes are kinda swollen. My last essay is due Monday and I have to review soo much before Thursday :( But then, afterwards, I'll be freeeee (for 2 weeks lol).

I got my schedule for the winter olympics. Did I tell you guys that I have 6.30am shifts???? Crazy!!!! I have to wake up at 4am then to get to my volunteer centre. x_x;;

I think I'm gonna go take a nap now, even though it's 1 pm....

From 4_leafclovers : It's a coffee meme! I got Cappuccino lol I don't even drink coffee.

The Cappuccino is the java that best describes your personality. Chic and intellectual, this drink is only for the serious and mature. The air of importance 'cappuccino' carries cannot be spoken unless by the purely driven and successful individuals. This drink can be contemplative or social, although it is most often considered classy. With its rich espresso, relaxed milk, and slightly foamed topping it fits in most anywhere. Although slightly reserved for important occasions, there is a hint of exciting foam that is let loose only briefly. You are not given to triviality and pointless activities. You like success and are goal driven, ambitious and are comfortable conversing. You are confident and bold and no one can mess with a cappuccino. Any addition or change to a cappuccino only wrecks its calm and collected image. Responsible and slightly reserved, the cappuccino is the mirror of your cool, collected, and 'going somewhere' personality. To be inspired and motivated, people love absorbing the aura of confidence surrounding a cappuccino.

I haven't been on too many of my social networks (some of you may have noticed I've withdrawn from a few major sites), and surprisingly, it's been really easy. I have two more weeks left before my last exam is over. It's been so cold lately that my hands are cracking and the skin around my fingernails is sort of bleeding..... :S Wear some gloves. Stay warm. Don't catch a cold!!

eta: ahahaha speaking of crunch, I'm trying this new Lays potato chip flavour: Sweet Chili. I like it lol

six degrees outside and inside. I can't feel my body o_o;




I haven't had much sleep. I want to go home, curl up, and sleep forever. omg >< but today is a long day. sigh...fuck.

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it. - Jesse Jackson

sooo...remember that Week of Hell I was talking about earlier? Well, I got some of my assignments and tests back this week. Ace, ace, baby. ;)

p.s. I joined Em's meme :)

eta: wooow, I was wondering why I was so hungry and now I've just realized that I went all day without eating the lunch that I cooked this morning! I was so busy, I totally thought I ate it. I'm eating it now ._.

Lately, I've been having dreams of people in my life dying. I never dream and when I do, it's because I'm stressed or I have a nightmare. I wake up crying from these every time. Sometimes it's a different person, sometimes it's the same. You die over and over again in the same way. I wake up feeling very distressed. Are you guys still with me?

I've been sleeping really bad lately since I spent the last week getting literally only a couple hours of sleep a day. It was terrible and I don't recommend it to anyone. So I spent all yesterday and today catching up on sleep!! I would always wake up hungry 'cause I'd be missing out on the important meals. THIS IS A BAD EXAMPLE. Do not do what I do. Get started on your work early so you don't have to stay up doing it. It's just the worst. Get it out of the way so you don't even have to TALK about it!

Anyway, so below is my "haggard" look. Not really, but it's just me without make-up. Look at those dark circles....... And the cute shirt I bought. I don't think it's very cute anymore. It's really annoying, actually. I don't think those loooong shirts that you wear with leggings suit me very well at all. But I bought two and I wasn't going to just never wear them again, so now I just wear them around the house. I have a pair of really short shorts that I love to wear 'cause they're so comfy and then I pull on thick wool leggings. LOL that's how I look when I'm at home!!! I don't like wearing long pants!! HAHA!! I also bought these sparkly glue things 'cause I thought they were neat and I could use them when I'm writing cards to people. So yeah, if you still want a card and you haven't sent me your address, go ahead and PM me! I promise you'll get one =)



mehh...back to work :P xoxo

Sometimes I wish I could film what I do everyday so I can take you along with me lol I've made some pretty cool friends on here and I'd love to spend a day with you guys :) Anyway, right now I'm watching The Ugly Truth and munching on some cupcakes with a steaming cup of green tea. The wind is HOWLINGGG outside and it's raining so hard. At least it's not terribly cold! Oh, Vancouver. :) Have a good night, my lovelies. xoxo

I just got through two term papers, two quizzes, an essay, and regular homework all within the span of four short days AND YES, I do expect to get some decent marks back, so a round of applause, please, for this ultimate procrastinator!

In other news, there is a lunch lady in the AQ cafeteria and I think she's a little nuts. I usually get a sandwich and one of the lady makes them for us behind a huge glass thing. I always order salmon fillet. She was SO FUNNY. I thought she was completely high on something. She kept piling stuff into my sandwich and she would be like, "and ooooh, a bonus!" in a weird, high-pitched accent. By the end of it, I had a small half sandwich that was three inches high HAHA and then she wrapped it up and was like, "I LUV TO SEE DAT SMILE!" She just made my day. She also gave me an extra pickle. :D

Then when I got home, I played phone-tag with my car insurance company. It's been over a month since my crash, so I imagine he wants to talk about the medical part of my claim. Ughhh so I'll them back tomorrow and play again!

I fucking lucked out on a job interview and now I'm left hanging once again. This is dumb. When am I going to get another job?

oh yeah, I'm gonna look through the wishlists in that TH community later to see what I can get you guys! =) Maybe I'll post one myself later on.

xoxo

waking up in the morning and it's freezing cold only to go to the bathroom to find the toilet seat is like ice to your butt! How are you supposed to pee or crap when it's so effing cold? yikes!

One of my wings beat faster,
I couldn't help it--
the one away from the light.

It hurt to be told all the time
how I loved that terrible flame.

Some students in my lecture hall are being bullied by this TA who thinks it's okay to be condescending just because he's really smart and knows his field of study inside out. So when I ran into something today, it made me think. It's about 2:30am and I'm very tired, but I hope I make sense in some way. I might read it over again later when I'm done all my papers...which won't be for a while. But anyway, under the cut we go. (I'm talking about people who are really super smart, but have this way of dishing out their words that is really unattractive, yo.) ( the thing I find about fights when it's a matter of opinion and choice... )

I don't know why, but today, I just want to say... I love you, flist :)
Even if we don't talk or comment on our blogs so much, I'm glad you're here.
xoxo ♥

 I ate so much more than usual today and felt FINE which is really amazing. I had soup and banana for breakfast, smoked salmon fillet sandwich and cream potato & leek soup and green tea for lunch, a stuffed shredded-carrots-cucumber-tomato-lettuce-bell pepper-cream-cheese-on-brown-bread sandwich for snack after class, arby's curly fries after physio, and then a couple dumplings when I got home! WOW!  I AM AMAZED but I don't feel too awesome now. I think I'm catching a cold. please be careful, guys. 

 We are going back an hour!! Which means I get an hour of sleep. YES. This is a good thing. How was your Halloween, guys? After I came home from yesterday's party, I didn't get to bed 'til 3.30am so when I had to wake up at 8.00am, I was really tired. I went to get a blood test and she had so much trouble getting the blood out, she had to squeeeeeze my arm. Now it's bruised. Then we went to Oakridge and mum bought me new perfume!! I love it. It's Lancôme's "miracle" and it's so nice. ^_^

I have a buttload of work this weekend again. sigh =( Hope you guys enjoy your Sunday. I'll be writing another paper. -_-;;

Stuck.
"Is banning advertisements aimed at children necessary to combat childhood obesity?"
OR
"Is there a link between pedophilia and child beauty pageants?"

I would love to research on both of these topics, but I can only choose one. I feel like I'd do a good job on the first topic, but the second one is so much more challenging and interesting. The only thing is, I don't have much time. I have to do my entire project on campus because my home PC and printer are totally kaputtttt. :(
My TA really wants someone to do #2, though, and I can totally see the argument there. Ahh...

Btw! What are you guys doing for Hallowe'en? I think I'm just going to head over to Trevor's party after I'm done here (I'm at school). No one's dressing up or anything. I think we're all too tired to dress up. :S Anyway, happy Halloween :)

Let me tell you about my morning, people! It started out with me waking up 45 minutes to the time I have to leave. I turn on my laptop and computer, getting ready to print out my lectures for the day and discover that my printer decided, quite suddenly, that it was a good time to take a holiday. After banging around for a good 20 minutes, I couldn't get the thing to print so I ran around stuffing books in my bag with a piece of toast hanging from my mouth. I thought it was going to be warm, but it turned out to be EFFING COLD. The sun is a lie and in Vancouver, who knows what weather you'll get. We only check the weather forecast for fun, just so at the end of the day, we can think about how wrong it was. I ended up being late for class again, but oh well, 'cause half the hall didn't show up anyway. There were only like, 100 people there, so I felt pretty good. HAHA. I had the most delicious split pea and ham soup during my walk from one side of the building to the other. I just got home after five hours of straight lectures and I'm feeling pretty good to still be in one piece. Having said that, I'm going to get something to eat because my stomach is about to ingest itself. Toodles.

ps. just wanted to thank people for joining my comm! It made me very happy and I hope the place will stay alive or it won't be much use... lol xoxo ♥

teehee, so I spent all night doing this. and jessica helped me with the graphics and layout! please join my new community? TH_VENUES

I went for my VANOC training yesterday! lol Basically what I do is direct human traffic and talk to visitors for 2010. It's gonna be fun, I hope :)

In other news, it's raining so hard today. My favourite restaurant a couple blocks down my house is closing on Wednesday. (Where will I get my Dim-Sum now???) I could walk there in 15 minutes and get yummy food and now....now....I can't. I went to Rogers afterwards to rent a video I'm supposed to watch for class. It's 138 minutes long. Oh my gosh. But I hear it's goood. It's The Lives of Others and I'm sure most of you have watched it already. It put me in the mood for surveillance/creepy sciency movies so I went and bought Knowing Predictions, State of Play, and ...well, this one's not creepy: The Soloist. I think Arianne was watching it last week or something and it made me think I should get to seeing this, so here I am.

Okay, I've got lotsa stuff to do now :S byeee xoxo

 i just got home, tired and worn out. I have to wake up in a few hours to head over for a training session. I want to just sleep forever. Plus I'm jealous of this Jordyn Taylor chick. She's pretty and she's looks asian-y. :(

you can forget the details of my day for they are too painful to recount. woe. snap.
