Sicky

Don't worry, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I've just been seriously ill. Things started to get really bad almost four weeks ago when I got back from summer school. In that week I went to the doctor's twice and the hospital once. My health was in a really rough condition. The following week, despite my parents' wishes, I moved up here for school. Things were going better once school started and I seemed to be doing well at keeping my health a secret... sure I wasn't perfect, but it was manageable. Then last week, due to my serious loss of blood for weeks, I started to become anaemic. I got kinda scared about that... I was still able to make it to class, but my pale face was starting to give things away. For days all I would eat was food full of iron to keep my energy high enough. Then this week things got bad all over again and I ended up missing school on friday. I can't even remember the last time that I missed school due to illness. I don't know what was worse, missing school or being in such discomfort. Anyways, I think I'm on the mend now... I have some energy back and hope to make it to school on monday. I can't imagine missing more school.

Oh My! I'm Old!

Yesterday was my twentieth birthday, and from the moment I woke up my day went pretty well. First off, I woke up to the lovely smell of fresh cupcakes being made just for me by my awesome roommate. She decorate one with a candle for me... now that's a breakfast! ha ha. Then I went to class, where I got to see most of my friends that I hadn't seen all summer.
For lunch my friend, whose birthday was also yesterday, and I went out to this really cool buffet where we got to eat for free because it was our birthdays. I would say normally that this is a fairly expensive restaurant... so we felt so cool that we got to go there for free! I normally would not have thought of how to abuse my birthday powers... but she taught me that you can get lots of things for free you your birthday. Anyways, we when had stuffed our faces, we came back here to watch a movie.
When my roommate got home we decided to try and sell all the cupcakes... like a bake sale... on our street. So I made a little sign, and she got a little table... and we sat outside like 5 year olds with a lemonaide stand. ha ha. Profit = 20 cents. ha ha. It's sad when we were not able to sell even one for our asking price of 50 cents. Eventually we gave up... happy at least that somebody had bought one from us.
At night we went out for drinks and a really nice walk over to Québec. We failed to sneak into a concert, but I got to see some really cool sites that I never thought I would see.
All in all, it was an awesome birthday... minus of course having to go to school.... but I just wanted to thank everyone for their birthday wishes! You guys are the best!!!

First Day Of School

Okay, so I didn't really solve my Internet problem, but I temporarily found a way to get faster Internet... which was as simple as switching rooms. Anyways, today was the first day of school. I woke up so excited for class, and left ridiculously early. My class happens to be one for first years, and I think everyone in my class was a university newb. It was quite painful to hear when the teacher started explaining the differences between a prof and a teacher... and then about the rules of university. Thankfully this should be the last first year course I ever take. It was funny to see some of the kids looking terrified at being there, while others seemed to fit right in. Today's class really made me appreciate university life. I have to say that even after a super boring class today, my good mood over school should last quite a while. I'm just a nerd.

Summer is OVER

Sorry about the serious lack of updates these past few weeks. At first I was too busy to do much, but then I got quite sick. But I'm much better now, so don't worry. My internet is a little slow right now, so i'm not too sure when my next update will be. Hopefully soon though, because it feels so weird not to update.
Anyways, I'm back at school now and shocked out of my mind that class starts tomorrow. wow. What happened to my summer? ha ha. Oh, and friday is going to be an awesome birthday!
