POST 420

Packing up my room was much more fun than I thought it would be - Even though it took two hours to get everything off my walls. No joke. My poor walls are very blank... it is really boring in here now. In fact, I think the insane amount of decorations was actually inspiring (not in the making me get more work done way because I still am motivated, but in the cheery, exciting way). So, what have I done this week. You will be shocked at really how little I did: monday I watched a lot of The Office (season two), tuesday I packed a little and took down all the posters, then went on an adventure with Beckie to the middle of nowhere (it was a little sketchy walking on the side of the highway, but it made for good conversation)... in fact we got honked at! Wednesday I finished Sex and the City (season three) and then went out with some friends for a really nice dinner, followed by some very late night shopping... bless shoppers for being open so late. ha ha. Anyways, today I made a really pretty card for my friend's birthday that is coming up (also a good way to waste time)... then tonight the plan is to go out dancing. I feel bad for my poor roommates who still have exams...
Oddly two of my marks are ready posted online. Two A's. Excellent. One was in spanish... in which we all know I desearved an A+, and the other was in linguistics (quite a shocker... but I'm thinking that the whole class must have failed because he bumped our marks up by 10 percent [that has never happened to me] so that I got 101.5 percent!!)... however, this does justify why I was tutoring my friends in that class. lol... anyways, I would be shocked if I got any more As, I'm expecting three Bs to appear soon.

La Fin Est Toujours Triste.

Officially done this year at university. Impressive. Now I have a little break before I get picked up my the parents. I feel bad for my other roommates that are still going through torture with exams. In fact, I wish everyone who hasn't finished yet good luck.

So, tomorrow morning I have a meeting about my program, then I don't know what I shall do. I guess we shall see where I end up. Wednesday I have a dinner thing to go to with friends, then I think I am going out dancing with other friends on Thursday. I guess I'll be home soon enough. Sadly I really don't want to leave here, but recent developments have made me also really want to go home. I think packing is going to be a little painful... but also fun cuz I like to organize my things! lol. Anyways, life is beautiful right now... I have no school work to do... I could do anything I want. This is the week of freedom. (Let's just see how I waste it).

The Night Before My Last Exam

Experiment: I have made study notes for my exam earlier this week but haven't really study off them yet. This whole time I have been having people over to my house to "tutor" them. (Technically I am not a tutor so much as a study-buddy, but with this group of people it's really just me teaching them what to do). Since I have been helping all the people without actually studying from my notes... do you think I will pass my exam tomorrow? Clearly I know what I am doing if I am able to help my classmates, but on the other hand, is that enough? Of course I am going to be spending a lot of time tonight studying on my own, but because I have another study party in a few minutes that probably will last late into the night, the chances that I will get to study as much as I normally would are slim. The experiment is going to be whether doing the problems over and over with my friends and teaching them (and in some cases learning with them) is going to be enough. We shall see.

Groundhog Sighting

It is really nice outside! Today Maggie saw a groundhog. I am jealous. However, this does mean that it is spring. yay! On the other hand, it means that I want to go out and spend time outside. This is not a good idea, as I still have one exam looming in the back of my mind. Anyways, today Maggie and I are going out for French Fries at this place that she claims has the best ones. Then later I am coming back to clean my room for another study group. You can't imagine what my room has been like the past two days. My friends from class are constantly over studying with me... which I love on the one hand because it keeps me studying in a fun way, but on the other hand, I don't study the best with all these people because we go at different paces. Ciela and I study very well together because we both totally get the material and can help each other equally with the problems... but the other girls are so lost and I feel like it's just me tutoring them, instead of us studying together. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, especially when they bring me treats as some sort of study food/payment, but still, some people I do not have enough patience for. Anyways, I am afraid of if I continue I might saw something mean. So, hope you all enjoy the nice weather!!

Studyholic

One exam left. That's pretty lucky compared to most of my friends... sadly it's not until Sunday. Normally I would be out shopping in my time off between exams, but this time I am super studious... basically I have been studying all the time. Craig and I wake up every morning and study until lunch. The only reason why I am not studying now is because I'm on study lunch break and have to clean my room for study party this afternoon.

On to the other thing on my mind... I have to say I was a little shocked about the VT shooting. It scared me a little at first, being on campus and all... but I do feel safe here. If I have ever made someone feel terrible about themselves, I am sorry. I think I want to become a more friendly person, to make people feel less alone. But I don't really have that kind of personality... I'm not exactly super outgoing... and while I have known certain people I really could have been kinder to, sometimes I am not that strong. Anyways, my heart goes out to the families involved. I can't believe what has happened.

Post 415 + More Snow

This morning the patter of rain on my window awoke me. Alas, I realized later that it was actually snow. This must be the latest in the year that it has snowed in a few years. I don't think this acceptable! lol, I'm still shocked that there is snow outside waiting for me. boo.

Tengo un examen en Espanol hoy. No quiero estudiar. He estudiado mucho ayer, pero no mucho anteayer. <-- LOOK! Practice! Now I can ignore Spanish a little longer. lol. I swear, it's so painful memorizing irregular verbs. But perhaps more fun then memorizing dates and facts for the french history/culture exam that I have tomorrow... which btw, I haven't actually started to study for yet and will not until after Spanish exam... (thus, tonight after dinner) tsk tsk. Well, I'm not totally screwed as I did spent Saturday re-writing all my notes from that class. At least I have a general idea of what happened now. meh.

Mmmm... maybe I should get on that studying... sounds like a terribly boring plan. ggrrr.... I'm so brain dead already. Boo those who are already done.

Early To Bed This Saturday Night

Fells like it has been forever since I updated. Don't know why I am updating now, I am soo tired and my fingers kill for sooo much note making for exams. arrg. Despite super boring studying today in various locations around campus with Craig, it could possibly have been more painful. Perhaps tomorrow I will create a super fun study game and have fun learning.... I have many doubt of this though. *yawn* night night.

Second Last Day Of Classes!

ACK! I'm so sick of this snow. It was weird when I went home, but as it is still snowing, it is starting to just suck. When I got back up here yesterday it snowed a little bit on my way back to rez, and then today it was snowing on my way to class. Although it is really pretty because it's not too cold, I still wish the weather would just go back to normal. Has the world forgotten that it is spring?!? Grrr.
I just got back from a nice lunch with Ciela. We always have such deep conversations about our respective homes. lol. This was after my one and only class today. (*smile*), no more linguistiques!! Woot! Before class I hung out with Juliane, (same girl who asked me for help on the last assignment.); she is not at all like she may be perceived. So I am planning a massive study party for that class. Should be fun. Adios!

Snow Is Sooo Uncool!

Right now I am sitting on my bed in my parents' house. Yesterday and today were a little crazy. First of all, yesterday I had a morning class at 10:00am, then rushed to the mall to by a birthday present for Alice... followed by rushing off for lunch and class at 1:00, where I had to hand in my last project. That felt very good. Thankfully my teacher let us out really early because it was my last class with him, so then I went back to rez and packed everything up before heading off to my last class. From there I train-ed it home... which was actually fun because I was with my friend from Spanish class, and I helped her with her french homework.. lol, I looked so pro. Our train was delayed almost an hour, so I didn't make it home until midnight. grrr... Then today I could have sworn Alice told me she was at P-Mall... which I headed off to after lunch, and after circling the parking lot with no luck of a parking space, I called her to ask, and then realized she was actually at FMP. oops. I felt stupid for mixing the two up. ha ha. Worse still I had forgotten her bday present at my house. Anyways, I finally met up with her for some shopping, bubble teaing and more shopping. ha ha... I was getting rather shocked that we hadn't seen anyone we knew yet, but sure enough we end up running into a dude from our high school and talk with him for a while. Eventually we headed home.... and I forgot to buy some chocolate for her brother's school fundraiser which I said I would do. Some days we would all lose our heads if they were not attached.
Driving into town was so peaceful tonight. Everything had a light layer of snow... there were few cars to be seen, and it looked like a postcard for a perfect christmas. ... then I realize, it's almost Easter... and that is weird. I don't like this snow thing.... it's creepy! I vote real summer starts NOW!

Post #411

No, there is no second meaning to this blog title, I just don't happen to be feeling very creative right now. Actually, I'm feeling exhausted and just want to sit here and do nothing.... which gets kinda boring after a while, so I don't recommend it. Today I had a presentation en espanol et un examen de mi-session en immersion. Je répète encore que ce n'est pas un cours d'immersion, mais un cours sur le programme d'immersion. lol. So with that last thing done, I have officially finished one of my classes... then I just need to hand in a project tomorrow to be finished a second class. Thus as of tomorrow afternoon I'll only have three classes to worry about... probably none of which will get much attention this weekend. ha ha. Nyways, just wanted to say that I got the summer bursary deal, so I'm headed off to Québec pour l'été avec mes amis. Je suis excitée!!

2 birthdays!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICE!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CIELA!

~I hope you guys have the best of days!

Bonne fête mes chères amies!!!
Je vous souhaite la plus belle des journées!

I Think About My Hair Too Much

Haven't really had much fun lately... unless you think homework is a blast. lol. Right now instead of blogging I should be looking over the notes from my study group (we have a midterm next week, so we divided the chapters up for everyone to take notes on - I gave myself the most work to do because I like my notes the best, that is why I am adding to the notes they sent me now because they are not good enough - lol) Anyways, apart from that midterm, I only have one presentation, one essay and three exams until the end of my second year. woot!

I need a hair cut. Imagine what could get done if I stopped thinking about my hair soo much. Okay, I don't think about it that much, just when I am looking at the picture I add to the blog. But seriously, I have no idea what to do with it.
