Reflections

This has indeed been a very awesome christmas break. I have practically gone shopping everyday. If I had not been shopping, I was out doing something equally as cool. (with the exception of having my wisdom teeth taken out which caused so much pain!!!)
Nyways, today is new years eve. Many plans flooting around... how knows what will happen. How am I going to start the new year?
We shall have to wait and see.

Plans Are Hard To Make...

Yesterday was awesome fun. My skiing talent shined while everyone else kinda learned how to ski. lol. I was proudly the ONLY one that didn't fall. Some people had some freaky wipe-outs (poor jenny & sharon). Too bad we didn't meet any cuties.

When I got home we did the family thing. I was oddly enough looking forward to it. It was even a little too short. I didn't see everyone I was hoping to see, but they will probably be around next year, right?

today i shopped again, and 2mora... more shopping! woot! my life is sweet at this very moment!!

Gotta Love Boxing Day!

It's the holiday for all the best shoppers. The time when shopping is at it's best.
Went to two malls today. In my opinion, they are the best ones around. You can't really beat the Eaton's Center!! It just totally owns all the malls! But the lines were pretty long... there were lines to get into the stores, to try on the clothes, and the longest ones were to pay... ack!!! Thus it's safe to say I didn't buy any clothes... although the trip wasn't pointless.
I got home and was complaining that the mall was crowded. My mother asked me if I would ever go back there another year... like a true shopper, I Said YES!

Planning on a peaceful and more relaxing day of shopping 2mora. I'm afraid to buy too much and then have to carry it all back home.
~Still in minor pain! (and somehow I got a bruse on my cheek...- and can't figure out how!!)

Pain - GO AWAY PLEASE!!

As some of you might know, I had my wisdom teeth taken out this morning. I am in some pain (not as bad as before). Nyways, I'm not really suppose to talk much (dentist's orders) so I decided just to blog my thoughts.
My last exam went pretty well... smiles! I made it home late last night, and my family was super happy to see me. Even though the males are all acting like it's no big deal. Cuz I know that they are ecstatic inside.

Well, when I feel better, I will do something FUN!
Drive really fast, and do what I do best!!!

shopping makes me sleepy.

yesterday was a total waste of a day. I litterally spent the whole day in my building and didn't leave once! 99% of time I spent in my room! That's just sad. Although I did watch Home Alone 1 & 2, It's A Wonderful Life, and some south park & family guy episodes. What a lazy day!!

So, today was a lot better. I got up, when to pick something up from my prof, then took the bus to a mall, then to another mall, where I ran into a girl from my floor. Spent another hour randomly shopping with her, and now it's like 3:00 pm. Thus, I still pretty much have tons of time to do anything but study.

Be There Soon.

It's OKAY To Slack!

Well, I knew I wouldn't be studying much for espanol. I think the total came to about 45 mins of serious studying and 30 mins of staring at the page or talking to people about the exam. I just came back from the exam. THANK GOD I didn't waist my time studying! MY GOSH it was easy!!! I have to admit that there was ONE thing that I didn't understand, but it wouldn't have been something that I would have studied, and thus, studying or not I would never have known the answer. feh. My next exam isn't for a while, thus I have a few days of some more serious slacking! WOOT!

Before the exam, I went to the caf to get a snack. I saw this girl that I knew from my class and had seen there a couple of times. I decided randomly to talk to her today. We shall never really know why I did it. Nyways, I studied with her for a while there and then brought her back to my room so I could get my stuff. Then I went with her and my neighbour to the exam. I WAS NOT BEING HUMANITARIAN! Isn't it okay to just be nice. Trust me, i didn't MEAN to feel bad for her. IN FACT, I had been planning to talk to her the whole class but had never gotten up the courage to do it.

I keep telling myself that I am NOT shy, that I just don't like to talk. But let's face it, I am pretty damn shy. There is NO way around it.

The End Of 2 Double 0 - 5

okay, just like every other year, people start to make random end of the year lists. It helps people to reminisce about fav moments from '05, but it seems that everything makes a top 5 list. That's not what I am here to rant about however. Even though some of these lists are totally stupid, I'm here to make the most awesomest top 5 list for the year!! I call it: Shannyn's Top Five Nicknames Other People Use For Her! .... lol. Of course I can only use names that people actually called me this year... and thus, let the list begin with nicknames that the fewest number of people have called me, and work our way up to number one!

5. Ditz (<-- okay, maybe I am a little ditzy, but it's still not very nice!)
4. Weener (<-- that's just childish, honestly!)
3. Bitch (<-- have to admit, heard that one a lot in high school)
2. Sharon (<-- you know it, so many of you have used that against me!!!! - you might not use it on purpose, but nevertheless, I hear it all the time!)
1. Blonde (<-- it's actually hard to think of someone who hasn't called me that before)

And that is my list. enjoy! lol.

STILL Have Three To Go!

Last night was horrible, I felt SO sick! It's a terrible feeling to be alone and sick. I didn't have a doctor mom to tell me what to do. So I just sat in my room, feeling like I was going to be sick until I feel asleep. There was nothing I could really do about it. Thus, I used the old grin-it and bare-it. I woke up this morning feeling fine, except with the lack of studying on my conscience. oops. feh, i'll be home soon.

Life is all about grinning and baring the situation. What a painful society.

A Day In The Life Of A Bubble-Headed Blonde...

I was freaked. We all know I HATE public transit. But we also know I LOVE shopping. What a dilemma. So, there is this mall pretty far away, it takes 30 mins by bus to get there. And I still couldn't find anything for my bro's xmas gift. All the closer malls had NOTHING! Thus I got up the courage to go there by myself. I never felt so brave and self-assured and yet totally terrified at the same time in my life. The Result: It's AN AWESOME MALL! I totally loved it. Although they didn't have what I wanted either and I was stuck buying something else at the mall closest to me. Lol, ya, so on the way back from the far mall, I stopped by the close mall for kicks. It HAPPENED to be on the way!

SMELLS LIKE TEENS SPIRIT!

that's enough study-putting off for one day.

Three Exams To Go!

I'm just a little bit closer to going home then I was last time I updated.
Last night was our floor christmas party. All the people who got along with each other went out for dinner at a restaurant. I ordered fish - how classy. lol. I think the person I got as my secret santa liked her gift. I basically got her exactly what her roommate told me to get. lol. As for my gift, I got a spongebob-square-pants calender for next year and some swiss chocolate. yummy. Some girl on my floor saw a picture of Patrick (the starfish from ssp) that I had printed out and colored for decoration and came to the conclusion that I liked it and told me secret santa. I really like it though! It's just that it's a pretty small picture of Patrick, and it's random that she noticed it. Tis okay.
I had an exam today. Who knows how I did. Philosophy sucks, you can never know afterwards if you did well or not. Anyways, I used some of the chocolate I got last night as a study tool (reward/punishment). lol. Doing something good got me chocolate. Doing something bad didn't get me any.
I'll be home soon.

I don't even feel guilty anymore for not studying!

I have started a countdown of the days until I get to go home/end of the semester. I really can't wait. It's exciting that it's coming to an end. I only have four exams to go. That's all that keeping me from being back in the GTA.

My next exam is this weekend. Ack... why would they be so evil as to put an exam on a weekend?!?!? That's all I have to ask.

Tomorrow is the floor party. I can't wait to find out what who was my secret santa. Although we all know I do have to wait. I'm just a little excited.

More importantly, I talked to my bro. Every xmas the most important gift to me is the gift he gets me. It's honestly the only gift that he had to worry about cuz it's usually me who takes care of the gifts for our parents. So all he has to do is get one present. my present. I'm always DYING to know what he got me. It drives me crazy. Anyways, I found out that he already got it. He wouldn't give me any clues, and eventually hung up on me when I started to really question what it was. I just really want to know what it is!!!!

Dieciocho Dias!!

Woot. I'll be home soon. If you can really even call it home. Since living here is starting to seem really home-like these days. I don't technically live there anymore, thus, I don't really belong. You might not understand the feeling.

Last night was fun. I didn't think it would be. I was wrong. I probably ate too many cookies, and talked too little, but all in all, it was good. It was simple comfortable. We honestly just sat around all night and talked until morning. Okay, it wasn't technically bright and sunny out when we left, but it was nevertheless this morning.

Another awesome thing. I got my first christmas card! woot! It's proudly being displayed on my shelf. I have since decided to give out xmas cards to some people on my floor. Here is my dilemma: I want to give a card to most people on the floor, except for a few people, but one of these people I don't want to give a card to lives with a person I do want to give a card to, and thus they would know that I didn't give them a card, does that force me to give them a card? I don't really have much against this person, I just NEVER talk to them... but her roommate is nice and she talks to me. So I feel bad giving a card to one and not the other. But I don't really want to give her a card, because then I might have to give cards to other people I don't want to give cards to... because they would see that card, know that I don't talk to this girl, and then expect a card from me too. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Lol, Tacky - mi padre is going to kill me! We talked for almost an hour!

Blonde Joke

A blonde was shopping and came across a silver Thermos. She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and brought it over to the clerk to ask what it was. “That's a Thermos,” the clerk said. “It keeps some things hot and some things cold.” “Wow,” said the blonde. “That's amazing. I'm going to buy it!” So she bought the Thermos and took it to work the next day. Her boss saw it on her desk. “What do you have there?” he asked. “Why, that's a Thermos. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold,” she replied. Her boss inquired, “What do you have in it?” The blond replied, “Two popsicles and some coffee.”

Rent

I saw it. It's weird. In summary - another plotless musical that makes most cry, and the others left laughing and wondering if they should be crying. It's basically about a bunch of poor friends that can't pay their rent and are very sexual. There are some love triangles, some lesbian connections, and a a guy/girl who hooks up with this other guy. lol... and every couple of minutes they brake out into a song. Oddly, they can all really sing!!

So, you probably realized that it's not the movie for me. I did like it, but I mostly enjoyed the night out. BTW - It's F'in FREAZING UP HERE! we had to walk all the way to the theatre.... not cool!
I mostly went because it got me out of the building and out with people on my floor. My floormates rock - well at least the ones invited out tonight. It's probably the first time in a while that I was loud. If you remember me from high school, I often tended to be loud when I went out with friends... In fact, I could get pretty loud during non class hours... but tonight was the first time I felt relaxed. It felt REALLY nice!

If You Build It, They Will Come!

I decorated my room even more today. Some people on my floor kept telling me that it needed to be done. So I did it. It's not quite perfect yet, but it's much better than it was before. Some people even said it was better than their own room. *smiles*. It's kind of cool to have people come into your room and tell you it looks beautiful.

On a completely different topic. Last night has high drama floor meeting. Our floor is the problem floor. This guy has already been kicked off. - That's pretty extreme. And there are a lot of problems between groups of people on the floor. Even some really bad vandalism against some of the people. It was serious. Anyways, lately because of all the damage, we have had to pay bills for repairs. That sucked. Everyone knows that certain people had absolutely nothing to do with it. (like myself!). Anyways, this one girl, who i barely even know, told the person in control of the building that this was not fair, and singled me out as being a person who shouldn't have to pay. She said it in such a nice way, that it was really shocking for me to hear, because I never really thought that she noticed me. Oddly enough, I almost burst into tears because of it. The tears were part from the embarrassment of 30 people all suddenly turning their heads to stare at you, part because it was just really nice of her, and part because I knew everything she said was true and it seemed like she actually thought highly of me. THANK YOU CARLY!

I had special permission to leave the meeting early since I had my first exam today (in class). I heard that the whole thing lasted almost two hours, and ended late. So I was happy to get out of there. Anyways, the exam went alright, I shall see what my mark is before the end of the month. Woot! Only four exams to go until I get to go home!
