4 More Sleeps...til IKEA!

2007-03-06T12:21:00.000-07:00

I've had a crazy 2 weeks!

Midterms are almost over, I write my last one tomorrow! I had to give up everything I like to do in order to study for the last week for these 4 tests, and to write my english paper. After tomorow, things will seem soooo good!

I was being all doubting and grumpy and no fun at all. But I feel GREAT now and everything is back to normal. Honestly, I feel like things couldn't be going better. Let's keep this up!

Mike's taking me to IKEA on Saturday!

...boring...

2007-02-22T18:03:00.000-07:00

Today I spent the entire day doing homework. I was planning on writing my english paper, but it definitaly did not happen. Tomorrow.

I was supposed to go to the church tonight for Pioneer Club but things got all messed up and Mike couldn't pick me up. So I'm going to have dinner with my mom, scrapbook and do more homework.

I'm going to Missions Fest tomorrow. I am very excited!!

I Love Being Lilo

So a quick update...

Jenn and I tried to make fortune cookies for Andrew and Mike for Valentines Day. Haha what a disaster!!

V-Day was AMAZING! We went to the Muttart Conservatory for the Sweetheart Stroll. So adorable! They had hearts with I Love You in different languages. It was so funny to try say them. The only 2 I knew for sure was Thai and Mandarin.

I went to good old PLC this weekend. Not to go to winter weekend, but to babysit the V. Diddy's kids. It was a lot of fun. And I loved seeing everyone. And using my camp name.

My mom and I started scrapbooking together. How cute are we?

Chessecake, Stats and Immunization

2007-02-09T16:51:00.000-07:00

Today, I went back to the travellers clinic and got my 2nd hep a shot. Now instead of being covered for only one year, I'm covered for 25.

Stats is not all that fun. Lacey, Jade and I worked on it today. Got lots done. Still lots to do. Way better than doing it by myself.

Soc 271 was cancelled today. Kind of nice. But thats my favourite class.

I'm going for cheesecake with my friend Kevin tonight. I've been looking forward to it all week.

And thats it.

Chivalry is (not?) Dead.

2007-02-06T17:57:00.000-07:00

Today, when I was on my way home on the bus, I saw something happen that made me questions boys. The bus was pretty full, no seats avaliable and someone rang the bell to get off. So there was an empty seat. At the same stop, a girl got on. But before she could get to the seat, a young man sat down. They seemed to be making eye contact, while she stood at the front of the bus. So he motioned to her if she'd like to sit and she politely shook her head no. So is chivalry dead? Should he have let her sit down first? Or was the offer still enough?

On a happier note, Brody shared his m&ms with me today.

And Mike drove my mom and I so we didn't have to take the bus home from West Ed. He is definately a nice boy. And I love him.

Dance, Sing, Floss, Travel

2007-01-25T16:32:00.000-07:00

I just finished watching one my favourite movies, A Walk to Remember. I love the way that movie takes all my emotions to experience it fully.

I'm home sick today. Didn't have school but I missed work and my 2 volunteer positions. I hope I'm better for tomorrow though. Breakforth here I come! Can't wait for Casting Crowns and Starfield! And the sessions should be good too!

I'm so not looking forward to 3 exams, an assignment and a lab due next week and a huge project the week after. Its gotta get done.

I wake up and tear drops, they fall down like rain,
I put on that old song we danced to and then,
I head off to my job, guess not much has changed,
Punch the clock, head for home,
Check the phone, just in case,
Go to bed, dream of you,
That's what I'm doin' these days.

Coconut Ice Cream with Gummy Bears

2007-01-23T19:40:00.000-07:00

Ahh yes, I enjoyed that delightful treat today! From marble slab. I went with my mom and my sister to celebrate! Yummy!

I did homework all day today. Again. I still have so much to do. And with Breakforth this weekend, I won't get anything done. But its gonna be so much fun!!

We got Rascal Flatts tickets! YES!!!

My to-do list for today is a whole page long!

2007-01-16T15:37:00.000-07:00

So today, I've spent the day doing homework. Reading chapters of textbooks, reviewing class notes, reading articles and even the play, A Midsummer Nights Dream. My life seems forever plagued by homework and exams. Oh university!

Seems like I haven't been doing much else than school, work, homework and volunteering these days. Thats not really a bad thing. I love my family, I love my friends, I love my boyfriend. I hope I get to see them more.

What if I printed my assignments on pink paper?

2007-01-12T19:27:00.000-07:00

I've had a crazy week! Starting up all those university classes again...This semester I have 5 classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and then I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off. Tuesdays for homework, Thursdays for study buddy, work and pioneer club. I'm taking anthropology, psyc 105, english, stats 151 and sociology 271 (introduction to the family! woo-hoo!) so really its not that bad, lots of work, but thats not always a bad thing.

Before break ended the lovely Cocoa and her adorable friend Myrtle from Australia came to stay with me for a few days. It was awesome just to hang out with friends and see some other people that I haven't seen in a while!

Looking forward to reading week and having a break/ possibly going to the mountains to snowboard is quickly headed out the window. Stupid papers.

New Year, New Me?

2007-01-04T15:26:00.000-07:00

Ever notice how everything makes a resolution on January 1st and by February 1st, few have managed to keep it? For years, I've keep a list of goals. Some I've accomplished, some I will never be able to accomplish, and some I'm still working towards. Recently, I added a list of places that I want to travel to, a list of goals Mike and I want to accomplish as a couple, and yes, even a few so-called resolutions for myself. I also want to make a 101 in 1001 list. Yes.

Starting Over

2007-01-03T10:45:00.000-07:00

So this is me...Stay tuned
