I took down the wall

So, while not studying I decided to take down my wall. Worst idea ever b/c it took so much work and effort. I now hate sticky-tack with a passion. I of course made sure it had been well photographed before it all came down. One is with my webcam, and the other picture is from my cell phone. It's sad that both picture are missing so much, and that i never took pictures of my other walls. grrrr... i miss my pink wall.... Now my room is just plain and boring. Everything is either packed away or on my floor. My room has actually never looked messier! Anyways, this clean up was a major part of ending first year. It was necessary on many levels and really made me realize that school is practically over. I have joined the ranks of students with only one exam left and will be out of here very soon. Will I miss this room? not that much. Would I live here again? maybe - if I had a different neighbour my answer would be more affirmative... Will I miss Ottawa itself? Absolutely! But I shall be back.

Last night with friends...

Maggie called me when she finished work Thursday night... she wanted to go out to get something to eat. Spur of the moment, we decided to drag Heather along too as we went down to Zak's (I always thought it was a 'c' and not a 'k' but the bill i have here says it is in fact a 'k'). Since I have my exam demain (aka - must study a little tonight) and then my parents seront ici the following day, i realized it was the last night i would be able to spend gallivanting around Ottawa with my friends. After snack thingy there, we went back to Ms. Maggie's house and watched Freaky Friday... in the wee hours of friday morning. lol. You will all be proud to know that I didn't fall asleep until 4 am. *scandalous - i know*. Nyways, woke up this morning and hung out with Maggie until Heather awoke. After watching the price-is-right, family feud, and Sabrina (gotta love day time television!!) I said my goodbyes to Maggie, and Heather and I headed back up to my rez where I had to say another goodbye.

Had sushi for lunch - talking to Heather about it made me really want some. (It is quickly becoming my fav. food - who would have ever guessed?). It was Michelle Su who first introduced it to me when she got me to try some as we picnicked in my car in my high school parking lot sooo long ago... *thanx Michelle*. Nyways, after that I bought my last cookie from u.c. in the uc center. Soo many fond memories of those cookies, eh maggie?!?!? Seeing as how they are closed on weekends, i made sure i got one in before then. lol. sooooo sad!!!

Off to do some sort of study like activity... i'll get around to it... don't worry.

I *Heart* Freecell!!

Freecell is my fav game right now. It requires intellect, foresight, and patience. I was never really good at it, but i'm working hard at it, and one day I plan on having a 99% score. woot! lol, since i got this laptop I have played exactly 380 games, and won 320 of those games (84%). Since I lost sooo many I could probably never get a 100% score, so 99% is what I'm shooting for. Right now I'm on a 40 game win streak. woot!!! (my best ever!)

So on to aujourd'hui. Since I plan on hitting the books demain, I took the time to help a friend shop for the perfect bday gift for his friend. I'm honored that I got to be their little personal shopper in the byward market. Hope your friend likes it!! Es muy bonita!

printemps termine + l'été vient

I was pretty excited about shopping this morning. Maggie and I set out, we had a lunch in a pub, then headed down towards parliament for our shopping. The one store that I really wanted to go to the most closed down... pitty. Nevertheless we did find many new stores and I went into plazas I has never visited before. In this one store Maggie actually got me to try on a skirt. I didn't buy it, but it delighted me to know summer is really really close. yah!

Solamente un examen más!! Yippee! Si dices que no tienes examens y que tu verano ha venido temprano - je ne serais pas content du tout! lol. *jealous* GELOSA!!! (lol, guess who learned a new word... if only i knew how to say it...) - gelosa is italian for jealous (obviously)

Was I really a jerk?

It's not that I regret what I just did, I just know I'd have been happier if I didn't do it. Nevertheless, I'm glad I did it b/c I know the truth can hurt and scare you but it's better to know it than to be ignorant. At least I know there is a problem now.

When I did this thing, I found out far more then I was had planned. Most of it really hurt and shocked me. I'm really not one for crying, but I was on the verge of tears as a placed a desperate call to Tacky who I knew would save me. It's questionable why I called her, since she wasn't really all that close to the situation, but I'm glad nevertheless that I did choose her. Thanx for cheering me up Tacky and good luck with your exams - don't worry, I'm sure you choose the right courses too!

-sincerely, freaked out chick who needs to be alone right now

Numb - Linkin Park

So I wake up this morning at 6:30 am. Can't go back to sleep. My room is still dark. I think - well, i guess this is the perfect opportunity to study. I get up, and decide, maybe I should have a shower first... then I needed to check my email... then I facebooked a little... eventually I got around to actually studying. After 30 mins of that, I decided that I was bored and needed to check msn.... then downloaded an episode of Friends that I had never seen - german detergent!!! LOL!!!!.... then back to msn... then straightened my hair - I swear it looked so nice this morning, then when I went out in the rain, it got a ruined... grrrrr....

So you get the point, I did almost everything but study this morning. I wasn't hungry b/c last night Ber called me around 8:30 and wanted to go to subway with me and her friend from english class (Kelly). This friend totally rocks b/c even though I had money and was perfectly able to pay for my own sub decides to buy Ber and me subs to get the 3 sub deal, and wouldn't let me pay her back. THANKS AGAIN! I really wanted to pay her back but she wouldn't take the money. Kelly, you are soooo nice!! I owe you!!! Nyways, back to this morning... I was so bored b/c there was nothing to do but study. ick!

During one of my study periods, i started randomly singing "All I want to do is be more like me and less like you" and couldn't figure out who sang the song and what it was called. Deciding that I need my millionth study break, I googled the lyrics (It's Linkin Park - Numb). Such a good song. I couldn't get it out of my head. So I download the song, and played it while reviewing my notes. *oh my...* (Shannon NEVER plays music while studying.) Shocking! lol. So I played it over and over and over again... at least 15 times before I left for my exam (each time desiring so badly to blare it super loud and shout out the lyrics). Anyways, I was a little freaked out due to the lack of studying. But alas, I finished early and felt pretty good about most of it except one little part - "the boy gave the girl the book" . is that suppose to be changed to passive or involve indirect object movement?!?!? I shall never know. lol.

After exam I met Maggie at her work, did a little shopping (just a little, I promise!) and then went with her for her lunch break. (M- would you like some cookies? / S- no thanx, oh wait - are they girl guide cookies? / M- nope, white oreo. / S-oh, no thanx...) I don't know why I said that Maggie!! lol. They are practically the same and it wouldn't have mattered what kind they were. meh... so random. After that I did a little more shopping - just a little... honest!!!!

Nyways, this is where I am now. going out later. hopefully getting free ice cream from Jon b/c he didn't believe I would make it more then two weeks in lent without it. lol. TTYL

I smell cookies...

Guess who's back... back again... shannon's back... tell a friend...

Yah for being back at school!! I actually really do like it here. But I've got to study like crazy for exam monday. eewwwwww.... not fun. I kinda wish I had studied just a little while I was home, instead of cramming the day before. Meh.... we all know I'll pass anyways, so what's with all my whining?

Went to the library today... I've decided from now on never to sit beside a window in there again. The pigeons were soooo close to me!! They kept walking past me on the other side of the glass that they were bigger than the little people walking outside a few floors below. I think I've said it before... Pigeons SCARE ME!
Must go study - ttyl

Another Shopping Post

Bonjour! Shopping today with Sharon was awesome. I can't believe I have to go back to school sooo soon!! *boohoo!* lol. Stupid exams!!

So, my official mall count for my little vacation between exams is: 9. That's pretty nice, but now that I think about it, I wouldn't have minded an even ten. lol. Still, nine is a lot considering there isn't even a mall in my small home town!! I actually have to go downtown to get to anything good.

Sharon and I were so brave today that we took a highway (100+ speed limit road). For once it wasn't me driving! (Thanx Sharon!!) It was pretty cool on the way down, but we got a little lost... sadly, we left the mall during rush hour amd it was sooo slow. When we came back from the mall we planned on visiting, we went to another mall, thus I only went to two malls today... the second mall I went to three times in the last week - lol!

Okay, so that's my last post about shopping for a while... no worries! I'll continue my normal rants about school work soon enough!

Shopping isn't a killer, it's keeping me alive!

Sorry Sammy, but I fail to see how shopping is going to kill me. Yesterday I went shopping and I'm still alive (making my mall count up to eight now.) Of course I went with Sharon, and yesterday we ventured downtown. *yah!* It didn't take us too long to get through the Eaton's center, so when we were done, we started walking around outside. We found were Sharon is going to be working this summer and we both (but mostly me) had an embarrassing moment with her boss.

Nyways, after that we went to see Scary Movie 4. It was okay. I don't recommend that u ever pay full price to see it. Some parts were funny in fact, I actually found it the funniest when Sharon didn't get it - lol, I had to explain to her was Viagra was... All in all, i'd give it a 4/10, or 2 stars for making me laugh but for not having much of a plot.

Today, I don't want to shock you guys, but I'm going shopping... again! It's my last day to do so before I have to get back to studying for my remaining exams.

P.S. I got some bad news last night, I was planning on working this summer where I did last summer, but my boss called me last night and said they aren't hiring as many people this year and that they have to stick with the people that worked there the longest. And thus, I'm jobless again.

Shopping Trip

hello. I must say, shopping with Sharon was amazing. We went all over the place. And now my official mall count is up to seven. yah!

Nyways, bought 8 things from claire's (67 cents each - most amazing sale of my life!!! [sharon's just sooo lucky!!]) today and thought about some skirts but didn't. meh. Obviously some chopsticks for my hair was one of those eight. I also got an irish teddy bear and a lot of earings... I'm wearing some star ones now but you can't tell.

Lol. On the way from one shopping area to the mall we got a little lost. We took a turn we were sure of but it turned out to be wrong. Ended up far to west then planned. Sharon actually took out the map and tried to figure out how to get the mall and see where we were. We should have known to go east not west!! oops!

I HAVE CURLY HAIR AGAIN!!

Good morning! I wanted to update last night but mi padre wouldn't leave me alone... and when he finally did, I was too tired. I even had a picture ready for my post - aka the first one of me in pigtails. The second one was taken this morning so that you can see what I look like while I'm posting. I like being home because my daddy can do my hair for me. curlyness!! yah!! lol. It's more interesting then the boring straightness that I normally have. But I can't make it curly on my own... lol - you also probably don't realize how much hair gel has to go into that just to keep it that way for the day. :)

Nyways, yesterday I was going to post about my awesome easter monday with mi hermano. First we did our chorses - how fun. lol. We mostly just had to go around town picking stuff up. meh. But for lunch we left town (yah!! any attempts to get him to leave town most be good). We went to this chinese place that Ry adores. After eating there, we went to P-Mall (*total shockes by anyone who knows what that is*). Yah, I took him down to market village and P-mall... and he actually wanted to go. Although he did spent a lot of time making fun of some cultural differences... tsk tsk. Anyways, he has now joined my circle of lies to prevent my parents from knowing that we went there. meh. They don't know that I have ever been inside p-mall. lol. Nyways, it was a good day... hope shopping with Sharon goes well today too. TTYL

Happy Easter!!

Yesterday was pretty alright. I spend the day shopping avec mi madre. She took me to two new malls that I had never been to. They were both alright, but nothing super special. They were just average. Feh! The best thing about shopping con ella is that she'll buy me stuff. Yah for new expensive pants!! Très jolie - muy bonita!

Today is Easter. I don't know if you know, but that means I can eat ice cream again!! SWEET!! Surprisingly I still haven't had any yet. That'll change of course, probably by the end of the day, but it's nice to know that I didn't go running towards the freezer as soon as midnight came last night. :)

MALL COUNT: (aka number of malls I'v been to so far - not including markets and strip plazas) = 5.
Yes, I have only been to five different malls so far... shame shame... that number is far too low... but it's okay, by the end of this vacation home I plan on adding to that number just a little. lol.

OH YA! I don't know if you guys have ever seen this or not, but yesterday while shopping at both malls they had this huge Easter setting set up so that children could have their picture taken with the Easter bunny (just like Santa Clause in December). I thought this was kinda sick. I'd never seen it before, but at both malls there were line ups and everything. I was gross. Stupid over commercialized Easter. Although I do really miss those Easter eggs hunts...

Part 2 Of Plot To Surprise Alice

Yesterday had been planned for months. It took some super scheming by some U of T students (so you know it HAS to be good) to make Alice be surprised for her birthday - again! lol. Her other surprise was really more of a last minute twist to the plot by Souki and I...

Nyways, yesterday I met Sharon at the mall (a pretty decent mall that's for sure) where we shopped and ate lunch. We grew tired of it after only two hours and went down to Eaton's center. We were suppose to meet Robin there, but we were angry that we had to wait soo long for him. Thus we didn't use the fact that we were at the Eaton's center to our advantage.... grrr.... only got to go to a couple of stores... boo hooo... anyways, we finally met up with him and ran into some people that we knew from high school. After catching up, Robin, Sharon and I made our way to UT and met up with 2Celia, and Jacky before going to the sushi restaurant (I know... again!!). Jenny came in with Alice and we surprised her (mostly confused her too). But I really think she liked her gift. YAH!! Other Jenny came later and we made a perfect party of 9.

After dinner we went to a karaoke bar and rented a room. Due to some culture differences, we sang mostly songs we all HAD to know - aka spice girls and back street boys. They tried to get me to sing but I was soo quiet that even having the mic right infront of my mouth didn't help. It turns out there are a lot of good singers in out group... interesting....

Nyways, Alice was definitely surprised this year... lol...
If I surprised her once when she turned 16, and twice when she turned 19, does that mean I most surprise her three times when she turns 22??!?

This computer doesn't have spell check... (sorry)

Yesterday was pretty yummy. After the cookies, I made rice crispy squares with chocolate chips and then a really beautiful two-layer banana cake with sexy purple icing and banana pieces as decoration. Not only did it look kick ass, but it tastes pretty awesome too!! (lol- it's also making an amazing breakfact! yum yum!!)

Today is going to be pretty cool too... shopping with Sharon is always one of my fav activites!

This morning I did something really stupid. I wasn't thinking, I admit. While driving my bro to school this morning (his school starts really late) I thought I saw someone I knew near my house - most of you will know who I'm taking about. I didn't say anything, but after I dropped my bro off I drove back to where I had seen him (obviously he wasn't there anymore,) but instead of turning down the street that goes to my house, I decided to keep going to see if I could see this person again. Well I did see them, but it wasn't who I thought it was... at which point I realized how stupid it was of me to try and steal one last glimps of them. I need to grow up! I can't believe I just did that!

yummy chocolate chip cookies...

I feel like such a girl!! lol. This morning I got up bright an early (8:00am) and hung out with my bro b4 driving him to school. Then I proceeded to make like a million cookies - from scratch!! *oh my!* I don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of the day, but it's going to be f'in productive!! I'm not going to sit around like yesterday. Well, technically I did do stuff yesterday - drove bro to school, visited my g-ma and uncle for 3 hours, went shopping, had a cleaning at the dentist, picked my bro up from school, and then watched movies with him. I may have done stuff yesterday, but I didn't feel productive enough. Thus, on top of the possibility of more cookie baking, I'm going to actually do something useful. I refuse to be lazy!!

THIS TOWN SUCKS!!! (my rant)

Honestly, I hate this town. There are tons of things wrong with it - namely: all prejudices that could possibly exist for can be found here (a.k.a. - my town is a bunch of white europeans who hate anyone who is not: white, straight, and christian), plus my town doesn't have a mall, a movie theater, or anywhere to go to have fun. We don't have any brand-name clothing stores, department stores (walmart, sears...), or even a furniture store! Assuming my town has a population of about 9 - 11 thousand people, we have far too many gas stations, donut stores, pizzerias, movie rentals, and ESPECIALLY churches! Just counting the ones I know of, I came up with 9!! And it's pretty likely that I'm missing one or two. And I can name at least 10 more right outside the town. I guess this gives you a perfect idea of the small town values we have here. It's quite sick!

My parents used to live in the big city, but they moved up here and claim to be much happier. My brother, who practically NEVER leaves this town, will probably live here for the rest of his life. Me, on the other hand, who has spend the last 5 years getting out of town as much as humanly possible, is unlikely to ever set up here. I don't think i'm quite cut out for any town larger then Ott. but living in a town like mine would kill me. I hate that you can't go ANYWHERE without somebody recognizing you. And usually it's someone you don't like.

Well, that's my rant about my town. Please, don't move here! lol. I need to get out of town soon or I'll go crazy, but most of my friends are still in class or have exams. - HA HA! lol. I'm joking, after all, i'm technically in exams too. meh!

A Tacky Surprise!

I love being home and all, but as soon as I got back, I remembered why I loved Ottawa so much. My parents are the source of this feeling, cuz they simply refused to leave me alone. My bro took whatever alone time I could find to spend with me. Oh goodie! I understand that they totally miss me, but I fit back into my little niche right away - as if I had never left - but they acted like I just came back from a year long trip around the world. Ack!

Nyways, yesterday was so super awesome. After shopping in my hick town with parents - seriously, i had NO alone time! - I took my car and headed for Markham. I called Robin on my way down, cuz I couldn't call from my house without somebody listening in. I told him I was going shopping first, then I would pick up him and sammy so that we could surprise Tacky. Well, shopping was cool, although I realized I don't really like that mall too much. I suppose after going to it for 18 years it starts to lose interest. meh! After a little tour around the mall, carefully avoiding the store Tacky works at, I picked them up and we bought an oreo cake and candles at the grocery store. When we got back to the mall, souki went in and brought Alice out, while Sammy and I were hidden in the car. Tacky didn't even recognize my car when Robin was heading for it. She's soooo oblivious!!! lol. Still luv ya Tacky!! Anyways, we jumped out and surprised her and hugs went around. We definitely got her again! Yah!

We then went out to a real japanese sushi restaurant for dinner. So cool! Although they made me use chopsticks. At first I wasn't too bad, but as the night went on, my skills just died. The food there was really good! I like crap and chicken and salmon, and whatever else it was that we had. Although I really did like the restaurant (yummy strawberry slush!!), it was really expensive (over $100 for the 4 of us). Although I would go again if it wasn't sooo busy!! Another thing was that I'm too used to my english manners at a dinner table and wanted to take smaller bites of the sushi but that made it fall apart, which didn't help my chopsticks skills! Thus, stuffing a whole piece in my mouth was pretty hard, and caused a few incidents...

After dinner we went back to Sammy's house and ate the cake. Lighting the candles was certainly an experience b/c he couldn't find matches or a lighter. All good... Robin and I arranged the candles on the cake (mostly his work, but my idea!) and we sang her happy bday. We took rounds of photos and when we were done eating, we sat around and looked through our old high school year books.

That's basically the sum of the evening. I drove Tacky back home and told her I couldn't believe she hadn't noticed all the glitches that had occured that would have helped her realize what we were planning - a.k.a. stupid jon's comment about me having a good trip home on my last post. She actually read that!!!! gggrrrrrrr.... had it been anyone else but Alice they might have realized that I was actually coming home!!! I wish you hadn't written that!!!! She thankfully didn't see Maggie's comment, although I don't know when you posted that. Just b/c I don't update for one night doesn't mean that I'm not going to update again for two weeks! lol. I love updating!! I promised you that I would update whenever we were not together so that you could know what i'm up to. I plan on keeping that promise for quite some time!

Hope you enjoyed your surprise bday and that you didn't get in much trouble for not practicing piano! lol. I really wish it was your bday more often!!

Third Exam Down - 2 To Go!

This morning I finished my third exam. *painful* Now all my courses in french are out of the way, all i have left are my two english courses. Sweeet! Sadly the number of courses I took in french this semester outweigh my english ones - this will explain why I'm going so crappy this term. (Not really a valid explanation seeing as how I understand everything just fine - lol).

I'm sooo bored and there is nothing to do but study... shame shame. Maybe i'll put that off for a little while and through myself a you-made-it-through-half-your-exams-so-far party. 2lol. Meh!

Course selection has started and my schedule is sooo f'ed up. that's all i have to say.

Minnie Mouse & Scary Birds

This afternoon's exam was less then delightful. Let's just say I did way below what I expected and needed. *Curses*. Nyways, Maggie, in her kind way of wanting to help people who are feeling down, decided to drag me out for beavertails and so that we can exchange easter gifts. In the pic it's clear that she got me a Minnie Mouse stuffed animal in a pink egg and some rare chocolate from her home town. Coolness.

So ya, at the beavertail store (beavertails are thin pieces of pastry topped with whatever you want... sometimes candy), we were sitting outside eating the yummy pastries when spring attacked. Birds came from every direction, flying far too close to us and actually causing me to scream just a little. FREAKY! The birds were sooo close to us that it totally freaked me out. Not Cool! I swear one was going to fly at my head.

Nyways, that was my afternoon, now it's time to go study for my exam 2mora. Joy! - P.S. Thanks again maggie for my minnie... she's sooo cute!! Plus chocolate, which always rocks. Hope I got you what you needed.

An Amazing Poem

Graciela - by: Gary Soto
Wedding Night
Graciela bled lighty -
But enough to stain his thighs -
And left an alphabet
Of teeth marks on his arm.
At this, he was happy.
They drank mescal
In bed like the rich
And smoked cigarettes.
She asleep
And the bottle empty, he hid
A few coins in her left show,
Earrings in the right.
They worked long hours
Hoeing crooked rows of maize.
Evenings she wove rugs
And embroidered curtains
To market in Taxco.
In short they lived well.
However in the seventh month
With child, her belly
Rising like a portion of the sun,
Something knotted inside her.
The ribs ached. A fever climbed.
Manuel summoned the Partera
And though she burned pepper,
And tied belts around
The stretched belly,
The child did not ease out,
Days later she turned
Onto her belly
And between her legs
Unraveled a spine of blood.

SNOW?!?

I just have one question - WTF is with all this snow?!?! I went to bed planning to wear sandals and a t-shirt today, I wake up - and there is SNOW!! I mean, WHERE DID IT COME FROM?!?? It was really nice weather on friday, and now it's just cold. I actually had to take out my winter coat!!

So I just got back from the mall... not cool, I couldn't find what I was looking for - although it wasn't anything specific... but that's not the point. I had to brave Ottawa's cold weather to get there, and the shopping therapy that I desperately needed to distress was not successful. GGRRrrrr!!

At least it's Gilmore Girls Night! That'll chear me up!

-I'm still wondering about this stupid blizzard that hit!

HAPPY BDAY TACKY!!!

Happy 19th Birfday Alice!!
Hope being 19 is good to you. I wish I was there to celebrate with you, although, from the sounds of it, you are pretty busy! Good Luck with everything!

I clearly don't have Sammy or Robin's photoshoping skills, plus I don't own a copy of photoshop in Ottawa, but at least there is always the basicness of Paint! lol. Happy Birthday!! I hope you get spoiled.

yummy + free midnight snacks...

OMG! Shannon is actually awake and blogging at 1:30 am!! This is scandalous! Lol. Tonight was floor activity night, where we blow the floor funds doing a final activity together. So a bunch of people from our floor (basically the ones who decided it would be more fun to hang out at a restaurant with friends then get puke-face-drunk) got together, and we left around 11:00pm. We went to this cute restaurant downtown and each ordered whatever we wanted, for free! *yah!* Go freeness!! I ordered waffles with wip cream, strawberries, and maple suryp (same deal as what Tacky + Robin got last time I was home but I wan't able to eat it that time b/c I had a killer shake). It was pretty good, but I think the one at the Pickle Barrel was better. Grr.... oh well, you can't complain when it is free!

Ha Ha, very funny...

OMG!! I'm really pissed off. 4:00am came around and all of a sudden I wake up to this really loud noise. It takes me a couple of seconds to realize it's the friggin' fire alarm. I think "WTF??" as I scurry around my room looking for my keys, cell phone, and a jacket. Then sleepily I begin the mass exiting of people from the building. Yes, I am very very pissed. I get outside and I don't really see anyone I know, so I text message Maggie to tell her how pissed off I am that it is 4 am and I'm outside in my PJs. Finally I find someone from my floor and we wait it out. She tells me that someone wished her a "happy april fools" on her way down the stairs and I realize that it was obviously a prank all along. Sadly I had been too sleepy to figure that out on my own. 20 mins later I'm back in my room - thanx to a sweet connection with the guy in charge of the elevator, we got in right away! I never really made it back to sleep again...
I'm glad they caught the guys who did it (I assume that the two boys in handcuffs were the them), and I hope they are severely punished. Ha ha, I admit, they fooled me, now they should die! lol. k, not really, but 4am is still an outrage!
