Happy Tuesday!

It's not really that I'm Anti-V day, I just would rather it pass me peacefully. I would like to be able to ignore it - but no - the world makes that really quite hard.

My two cents on love are that it doesn't really exist, but if it does - I am simply uncapable of the emotion. I have never really felt it, so I have no proof to support it - but this principal isn't a solid base for my beliefs, since I believe in God, but have no solid proof that he exists.

If love exists, I doubt you can find it at age 18. I'm too young. We are too young.

Marrying for love is a waist of time, at least while marrying for money you can get something out of it!

Party Left Overs

Slept in quite a lot this morning!! The weekend tired me out! After I finally got up and had a shower, the power on one side of my room went out while I was blow drying my hair. This was soooo not cool and totally freaked me out. I personally would bet it had something to do with my neighbour, but I have no proof... i just like to blaim him! Feh. So I got work done b/c I thought I had nothing else to do... then Maggie called and I went over to her house again. Yah for more cake! We also watched Donnie Darko - bunnys are scary - and more olympics! We now have even more metals so they don't just play the same stupid recaps over and over ... how exciting!!

Weekend was fun... but now it's time to buckle down and get to work. If I get a lot done now I can shop more when I'm home...
Everything ALWAYS relates back to shopping!!

Hello. Friday - Simply - Shopping - Cold.

After my french midterm on Friday I met up with Maggie & Heather. Did lunch. Then decided to leave my coat in rez since it wasn't THAT cold out, and the three of us went to really far mall. Spent some time there, met up with Berenika. Shopped some more. Left, froze all the way to back to my rez... damn the cold! Winter seemed to be doing okay up until lately. Nyways, made it back to Maggie's house. Heather did out nails. I have pink flowers on them, Maggie has ladybugs, and Heather has the sky. We watched 'Annie'. The sun WILL come out 2mora! As well as the opening ceremony for the olympics. This last one is really more of a fashion show then anything. Canada's coats weren't that nice... and I really hate the hats. But NOTHING - do I need to repeat 'nothing'? - was worse then Germany's outdfits. GAG!

Woke up at Maggie's house this morning... turned the t.v., but kept it on mute so as not to wake up H & M. Watched skiing, speed skating + hockey... all on the french channel without even knowing it. LOL! Woot for Canada's metal in skiing!!

When they woke up, we spent a while cleaning her house to get ready for Heather's & Ber's bday party. While making cookies I badly burned my thumb and less painfully another fingure. It is going to be really hard to write or do much school work now... what a shame. lol. It really really hurts though! And i'm not saying that to milk pity support from readers!!

Good party. And thanx to Zoe for driving me home!! Ottawa is f'in cold!!

Post # 184

This morning I pulled a super nerdy move by getting up at six something to study. I do think it helped, but we shall see when I get THAT mark back. As for linguistics midterm - 87% ( a pretty decent mark I suppose). My stupid teacher took the longest time to go through the test... I was going to scream. Feh! Nyways, tonight was intesting. I had an early dinner, then quick shower, then got into my pjs and was not really planning to do much else. But then Maggie came by after her midterm (psh... if you can do it in less than 30 mins it's ONLY A QUIZ!) So ya, she and Heather were planning to go out tonight, but b/c I was there, they invited me. At first pub we went to they wanted an I.D. check, even though I wasn't going to drink or eat anything - first of all I don't drink anything, and secondly I had just as dinner. So ya, they turned us down but M + H were kind enough to look for another place so that we could hang out as group. ^.^ thanx. The last place we went to let me in but weren't going to let me order any alcohol - no problem there! So ya, we were there for a little while and I just got back. 2mora = shopping + sleepover @ Maggies!! YAH!

Studying... posting breaks the silence.

Maggie is over right now and we are both studying. lol. Only she gets to do it in English! GAG!! grrr..... damn french! Oh well... my midterm is 2mora morning, so after my blog, i'm going to turn off my computer and study avec elle.

Last night's floor meeting went alright. But I did miss GG. Now I have to wait until the weekend to find out what happened. ARG!

Frustration rains over my roof. Midterms are putting me on the edge. Jumping will be fatal. Don't push me... that's fatal too. Backing down peacefully is also not the best solution. Just got to slowly move foward. Damn the wind... you sway me too much!

Morning Thoughts

Just got out of a midterm... didn't go too badly. Yah for French! lol. The whole morning went more smoothly then I thought. Feh. I still have another class this afternoon... then me gots another f'in floor meeting tonight. How Exciting! GAG! Sadly it's at the worst time ever! Right in the middle of Gilmore Girls! *tears* NOOOOO!!!!! That's totally like my fav. show, and the only thing I really watch... why are they sooo cruel?!?! *bitter*

Only two more midterms this week... then i'm good for the rest of the month! woot!! sweetness.

Super Bowl Weekend... how terribly exciting!

Super Bowl Weekend... GAG! Let's just see how the half time show goes this year... lol!

Nyways, yesterday I spent the day with Heather @ Maggie's place. Maggie promised I would get work done and convinced me to come... but in reality, I made little progress... grrrr! Well, during one really really long study break, Heather & I drew all over Maggie... both her arms and feet and back were pretty much covered. lol. Heather drew this awesome pic of Foamy on Maggie's arm which happily has not started to fade, whereas apparently the rest is got slightly rubbed off on her sheets last night. ha ha.

I did however get enough work done to go with them and the rest of my friends to see "underworld" in theaters last night. Seeing as how I didn't see the first one, and it's not my type of movie, i'd give it a pretty low rating. I don't really suggest that you go see it, even if you liked the first one, since apparently it's not as good.

Today I didn't do much except some work. I got a surprising email de ma tante. C'était le type de questionnaire quand tu dois répondre à les questions à propos de ta vie. Normalement je ne ferais rien, mais une question lui avait demandé qui elle voudrait savoir les réponses de le plus, puis elle a dit YO. Mierda! She's never really done anything like this before! Mis respuestas no son buenas!! Donc, j'ai menti! J'ai renvoyer le stupide questionnaire a ella solo. Les réponeses là ne sont pas les même que j'aurais envoyer mes amis. Pensez-vous qu'elle saurait ceci? C'était très évidant qu'elle était la suelle personne de recevoir le couriel. Can you see through my little game? Is it obvious? I need to know!

My Eventful Life...

The last few days have totally gone by in a flash! Right after my last post (HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY TO ALL! - lol), Maggie came over. We went out for dinner, and saw the same creepy guys who are totally obsessed with their dominoes games as we did the week before. Nyways, we had our dinner... went back to my room and messed around on each other's computers. Then went to Maggie's friend's room and the three of us went to watch some students play a volleyball game. This girl we knew was playing, but sadly I'm pretty sure their team was really loosing. Why is it that the team with the black shirts always do the best?!?! Weird! Nyways, thanx to Maggie and her contacts, I essay was read over by many, which made me feel a lot better about it. As an midnightish snake, we made grilled cheese sandwiches in my common room... where we were talking to this girl who likes beans and maple syrup as a meal, which neither of us had heard of before and found quite odd. I love grilled cheese - any time of the day! Lol. Then, we finally went to sleep after one - soooo late for me... (BTW - I forgot to mention it was a sleepover!)... damn my neighbour for his vibrations from the music he plays... poor maggie who slept on my floor could REALLY feel it! Ack! Well, apparently she didn't sleep too well b/c it was sooo cold and she kept waking up... sad sad.
This morning I woke up and we parted ways for our early classes after breakfast. Classes were painful - as they always are on a friday morning! gag. I don't want to give much details on the following events b/c it has come to my attention that ANYONE could be reading this blog. In vague, I went to the gym and had this desert I have had my eye on for a while. Anyways, once that affair was over, Maggie and Heather called me and we met for some shopping. Woot! For some reason we were looking at dresses... and so we tried them on... lol, that always makes you feel like a princess.

The weekend has started well! - With a few minor issues that I'm ignoring until they blow up in my face. All I have to say is thanks to Maggie & Heather for doing what I could not do... you guys are awesome.

Groundhog Day!

You may not know this about me, but Groundhog day is my most favoritest day of the year! I wish people happy groundhog day all the time! It's just SOOOO exciting!!! I think Phil is the sexiest groundhog of all time! But sadly, there is to be 6 more weeks of winter... boo hoo. This is sad b/c i don't like winter much. I'm frankly getting very bored of it... although my uni tries to think of the randomest snow activities, they seem to be at their end.

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!!!!
And don't be too bummed about this news... it's ONLY 6 more weeks...

Dedication To Tacky:

I realize Alice, that you are a busy student at a psychotic school, who happens to be more into sciences than languages... yet, when others who were less busy and who are actually in language studies failed to help me, you totally came to the rescue. So trustworthy a person I have never met before you. Thus, tonight's blog entry is dedicated to your kindness! WOOT!
This picture was probably one of the first or the first we took together. This was gr. 9, wasn't it? Such fond memories... (I think we look cute there! ... and really young!)
YOU ROCK!
LYLAS!

I DISLIKE my neighbour...

In yesterday's blog entry, I kinda forget to tell you something terrible that I did. You might know that my neighbour is a real jerk, whom I never got along with. He is constantly blasting his base and so I can feel a constant vibration in my room. I really dislike this guy - hate is a strong word you shouldn't use. Anyways, so yesterday I had a chance to talk to my C.A. for the floor, and I kinda flipped. I told him that I wasn't getting along with my neighbour -which I have never once complained to him about. He took it pretty seriously (especially considering his character) and asked me to fill in an official U. of O complaint form. Oh la la! lol. So ya, I basically poured a semester and bit's worth of complaints onto this form. Now i'm pretty sure my neighbour is in big trouble. I kinda regret it b/c I was never planning on telling my C.A. at all, but I just kinda flipped out when I saw him.

Also, my C.A. was kinda mad at me b/c I hadn't told him sooner. I mean - WTF?!?!?! I understand he wants to get this documented when they happen... but I'm not going to go running to him every time my neighbour breaks a rule! I mean, I would end up seeing him every day if that was the case!!! ACK!

Damn these jerks we live with!

Guess What I Did.... AGAIN

lol. Shopping is my passion in life. When you ask me what some of my favorite things to do are, apart for simple hanging out with friends, I bet my first answer will be going shopping. Anyone who reads this blog will quickly learn this.

Nyways, shopping was awesome. After the gym this morning I hung out with Maggie... lol, Foamy rocks! Then went shopping at mall. I bought quite a lot compared to what I normally get. My list includes green underwear, one cup, a bday card, and a super short zip up sweater-jacket thingy... you know what I mean... yah... for this last item I wooudn't normally have bought it but it was cute... and people convinced me it was nice. (the price kinda help with the convincing...) In total - not including tax - this came up to only 15$... pretty good deals.

Back to the drag of school work. Just thought I'd let you know that I haven't changed a bit. lol.

P.S. Walking back home in the freezing rain was not the best experience of my life. Both Heather and I nearly fell at least once.

Liond & Tigers .... Oh My!

I got this cute little dancing lion from:
http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/kenya/

They have a bunch of little toons. Very cute.

At this link however, they have Foamy cartoons... it's basically less cute but has more of a story to it:
http://www.illwillpress.com/vault.html
I highly suggest watching
1. Tech Support (1&2)
2. Drugs in your head
3. Coffee House Propaganda
4. Squirl Songs
5. Small, Medium, Large.

It is kinda dark humor. But nevertheless, pretty funny. Foamy Rocks!

Happy Chinese New Year!

So I hear it's the year of the dog... curses! I have to wait a few more years for it to be my year! Nevertheless, hope everyone celebrating has a good 4704~ Gong Hay Fat Choy! (doubt I spelled that right...)

Nyways, I found out some annoying news last night. This girl I met has been twisting my words and trying to be my bff. Ack! She pisses me off... what am I going to do? I don't have the heart to tell her to fuck off. Thus, I resort to my old saying of grin it & bare it. Eventually she will move on. It's just another faze for her. Little does she know, many people she once considered her bff in ottawa are on my side. *Good feelings*

Why is it that when girls get into groups, they always talk about how much another girl sucks? It's totally true, we are never talking about how much somebody rocks. Next time i'm in that situation, I'm going to bring up a girl that the group likes and see how long it takes for somebody to start listing some of her bad qualities.

REALLY Bad Hair Day!

My hair just simply looks bad this morning. There is no way to explain the way a girl's hair works without using the work uncooperative and evil.

The Three D's!
I just learned this game last night, but basically you can only pick one guy for each D (Don't, Date, & Do). I realize the people who read my blog all don't know the same people, so I'm going to use celebrities from the cast of Gilmore Girls (my fav. show)

Don't: Jared Padalecki (Dean)
Date: Milo Ventimiglia (Jess)
Do: Chad Michael Murray (Tristan)

He doesn't know who I am...

Hung out with Maggie last night in my rez. Turns out msn has some possitive qualities, cuz if I hadn't been online, I would have spent a more boring night. lol. Although, I would have gotten more work done...
Nyways, I have A LOT of work to do this weekend. I shouldn't be bugged. lol, this means no shopping... boo hoo. *tears* . okay, I will not die of deprevation, I suppose not at least, but it is still a sad thing.

Took a trip during memory lane after telling Maggie a story... now i'm listening to Sisqo's "the thong song". If you know this one, keep it to yourself.

Lunch

For lunch today, i had, unarguably the worst attempt at chinese food I have EVER seen! It was just bad! Although I did get a fortune cookie which reads: "He who hurries cannot walk with dignity". I don't see how that is a fortune, cuz it's more of a point than a prediction. Anyways, that possibily the only chinese thing about my lunch.

Still have one more class to go for today... TTYL

I think I'll have the same thing for dinner...

Shopping on a wednesday... oh la la!

Let me try this again...
I just wrote my blog entry for today, but for some reason it didn't post...

Nyways, my day was quite ordinary. Even though wednesday my classes start later than any other day, I still woke up to the alarm. No matter how hard I try, the desire to sleep in always overrids my desire to get to class on time. Feh. I wasn't late, but I'm usually a little earlier.

After school stuff was done, I went to the gym with my ever growing gym group. Lol, it started off as just two people, now it's so huge. fitness rocks! - no worries, i'm not being to serious here. After being lazy at the gym and not really doing all the much, Maggie and I went shopping! woot! The bus ride there was forever long! (lol, creppy old lady kept talking to us about her boyfriend and piercing & tatoos - ack!). When we finally got there... we treated ourselves to a beavertail (this nastily fatty dough mixture that is really popular in ottawa).

When I got back to my rez, i realized I needed a book to do my homework. I didn't want to have to ask this girl to borrow it, again! So I went to the library, but the lady RIGHT infront of me in the line took the last copy! I was f'in pissed!!! Cuz she had it on loan for 2 hours!!! DIE DIE! Nyways, so I came back to rez to borrow it from another girl on my floor, but alas, she wasn't even home. So in the end, i borrowed it from the girl I would have borrowed it from in the first place but wasted a bunch of time running around. meh!

Well, since I went to all this trouble to get the book, I should probably go do the work...
coolness.

I accidentally tripped a staff member in the caf today...

Two thoughts for today:
1. How do I feel about a minority conservative government?
2. Don't ever tell me what you think of a person before I have a chance to make a judgement!

Answers:
1. Seeing as how I know very little about politics, other than conservatives are the ones with morals, I'm not terribly upset, except however, I DON'T want to be made into a 'little america'. We already are freakishly identical to the U.S., but as a Canadian, I would still like to be considered very different. Please don't let us become more like them, let's keep what individuality we have left.
2. I met this girl, I thought she was nice. People told me bad things about her but I tried to keep an open mind. Everything that I heard still keeps coming into mind when I'm around her and I notice that it is kinda true. So now I never really got a chance to form my own opinion about her because I'm just believing what other people told me about her. I wish I never had been told that, b/c now I don't like her, whereas we could have been friends before.

I FINALLY got it!

Yesterday I went to get my hair cut at the mall. I knew it would be expensive, otherwise I would have gotten more highlightes - cuz we all know i'm fading back into the nasty dark blondeness (eww...). It was pretty expensive, but the guy I had to cut my hair was really awesome. I loved the way my hair was so soft and pretty after I got it cut. woot! It still smells really good.

Other than that, yesterday was a total waste of time. I got absolutely nothing done. Since I'm burning DVDs and trying to clean up my computer, I couldn't do any work on it (cuz it was too slow - the program I have for burning is a killer of energy). Feh. Today I still need to burn more stuff, but I really want to get some work done. We shall see how it goes. TTYL!

Tales OF Shopping!

Yesterday I was consumed with the shopping desire. I went to mall #1 with the plan to get my hair cut, but that never really happened, and then I got bored and went to mall #2 and spent a large sum of money, while still not getting my stupid hair cut. I bought a bunch of things that I need, including paper for printing. But they only sold paper in bunches of 500+ and I didn't want that much, so I complained a little bit and in the end, this lady stole some paper from their photo-copier and gave it to me at a discounted rate! woot!!! I bought other random things, but the day was topped off by talking to Tacky live over msn. I really don't like excessive typing all that much, so it rocked that I could simply talk and didn't need to actually do any work. YAH!

Today, I woke up at a decent hour, and lay in bed reading a book I borrowed from a neighbour. She gave it to me a while ago and I felt bad that I had kept it for so long, thus I finished it this morning and gave it back to her. (sense of accomplishment! YaH!). After lunch - grilled cheese AGAIN - I met up with this girl to let her borrow some study notes, and then we and some other friends went bowling! To get to the bowling alley we went to this girl's house where we were all meeting but sadly on the walk to there, my pink shoes got soaking wet and my socks turned pink b/c they die had run. So I had to borrow some new socks while my friend blow-dryed my shoes. That's just kinda sad!

Nyways, I actually really sucked a bowling today. After many games, we went down to the mall for dinner. (yummy!). Somehow, even when not planned, I end up going to the mall. On the way home, we also had to cut through another mall, which brings both yesterday's and today's tally up to two malls per day. Shopping is superfun!

I NEED a haircut!

It's just pleasing to know that it's almost the weekend.
SHOPPING!

too lazy to write more tonight. all I can say is that I am alive.

The Godfather

"He made him an offer that he couldn't refuse"
- The Godfather

I was made an offer so good today that I couldn't refuse. I wish that I myself had come up with the plan to begin with. It excites me nonetheless. There are some good things brewing in my mind. Watching them fall into place shall bring my great joy, but planning them is what I like the most.


Today was not worth complaining about. It was decent in fact. My friend showed to a part of campus I hadn't really explored yet, and it turns out that there was a bigger T.Hortons all along. I had heard that there was... but I thought it was just a rumor.

Buenas Noches & Bon Soir!

Bad Morning, Good Afternoon

I had to wake up super early this morning for class (grr...) and after only 6 hours of sleep (sooo below my average). My first class wasn't too wonderful but I survived it. Then I came back to res to try to get some homework done. I suffered a little while doing that - just cuz it was too easy and super repetitive. (The picture was taken during one of my homework 'breaks'). Then my last class was pure hell. It was truely a painful experience.

After that, I went shopping to lift my spirits. I bought makeup (lol, tacky, you have the purple, I had the pink, and now I have the blue one too - we have all the best colors!), plus I got a birthday card for my friend's bday this week.

I also went to the grocery store and bought supplies for making grilled cheese sandwiches. yummy. So of course, when I got back, I found the desperate need to through myself a little grilled cheese party. lol. So I sat in the common room, had sandwiches and watched Operah. It was awesome b/c only one person came in the whole time I was there. I wish I could have the common room all to myself all the time... (but that obviously in impossible - cuz my floor sucks).
Too Bad It's ONLY Tuesday.

Baby Devil

Arg, as you can see, I still haven't done anything with my hair... you can still see my nasty roots and it's noticeable that I'm not really a blonde... oh no!

Lol, this me possing as the baby devil.

HAPPY BDAY RYAN!!!!!!!

HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN!!!
BUT DON'T TOUCH MY SILVER BABY!
lol, my little bro is gettin old... awww....

so ya, I concluded recently, that I am in fact, quite intelligent. Having gotten back 4/5 of my marks, I called Tacky, mostly to gloat in her face that my marks rock. A+, A+, A-, B+ (curse philosophy!)... Just ones more to get back, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be good! woot!

Thinks Are Looking Up!

Guys & Dogs

I was walking through campus early tonight and my friend and I passed this guy walking the cutest dog ever. Ber was totally into the dog so we stopped with some other girls who were already there to pet the dog. Seriously, this dog would totally make any girl stop to play with it, cuz it was so small and friendly... nyways, so ya, a group of girls had stopped to play with this amazingly cute dog who was being walked my is sexy male owner. It was obvious to all of us that the guy probably had planned to use this dog to get chicks but we didn't care. I WANT THAT DOG!! lol... oddly enough, the guy didn't make a move on any of the girls, in fact, he didn't even say anything! Let it be known as a fact, that if you are a half decent guy walking a happy little puppy, you could get ANY girl you wanted. That's just how it is.
I miss my own doggie...

Curse the cold.

I didn't really have much work to do today, but I still feel annoyingly unaccomplished for the day. I hate not doing anything - ack! I should have gone shopping like I planned today! Curse the cold!

Nyways, I took this picture earlier today, when it was warm enough to wear lighter clothes... even now i've got my nice comfy sweatshirt on to warm me up! Curse the cold!

Don't make me say it again! 2mora better me warmer!! A thousand curses on winter and everything that comes with it. I don't like snow anymore... it's a sad day in wonderland.

Hair Talk

damn, my hair is getting long! Have you ever noticed that people consider their hair long if it's longer than the length they normally keep their hair? And not long as in longer for the average human being. When we see someone with actually long hair we know their hair is long, but ours might be shorter and we still say its pretty long.

I'm kinda the person who has had many random lengths during their life (it's been as short as down to my mouth, and as long as an inch above my belly button.) So really, my hair is probably just an average length, but lately I have been keeping it shorter. I do like it long, but it's just messy right now. I need to fix it (my layers are totally screwed up).

Then of course there is the problem of what color to make it next. I have to admit it never really went fully blonde again since I died it brown, but it's still blonde. Should I add some blonde back in? or go some other random color (brown again.... or many a little tint of red...?)

MY GOSH! how girlie that all sounds. Only a bubble-headed blonde like myself could ramble on and on about their hair. I do like being blonde... otherwise I wouldn't be able to say stuff like this last sentance. Being blonde is kinda like an excuse for me to do stupid things and get away with them.

I REALLY can't seem to decide what to do with my hair though... do you even realize how many people I have asked to help me out on this, and still I can't make a decision.... a thousand curses! Soon all my nasty actually brownish colored hair will grow back and I'll go back to having nasty hair!

Copying Fungus!

Thought of the day: you can't have it all, but if by some chance you find a way to have everything you want, someone else will screw it up on you. Your life doesn't depend on you, it depends on everyone else, and thus, you have no actual control.

I'm "home"

Took the train up here today. My Gosh that seemed to take FOREVER! I was super bored. Eventually my laptop ran out of battery power and I had to just sit in the seat. My first neighbour was this guy about 30 years old. He didn't say much to me so we sat in silence. BORING! Finally he left, then I had two seats for a few mins before my second neighbour came. He was about my age, and super annoying. When the food trolly came, he got chocolate milk and made a HUGE deal about how it was in a bottle. "I've had it in a carton, and some other ways, but NEVER in a bottle, this is just weird"... then after he drank most of it, he said "I'm so tired, I wonder what's in this milk" ... then later "wow, there most have been something in that milk" ... thus he blaimed every condition he was in on the milk in a bottle. I totally wanted to yell at him to GET OVER IT! lol. I was very poliete though and just pretented to laugh and think that he was stupidly funny. Nyways, that was my trip on the train. When I got in res it took me quite a while to unpack.

I don't understand why my school has to start so early. I wanted a longer break.
2mora I need to get up early for class... oh goodie! lol.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2005 was pretty good, so I have some high hopes for 2006. Last year I spent the new years at home with family. This year I was out at a mall with friends. Such an upgrade... lol.
I also saw King Kong. Tacky and I have so many unanswered questions. HOW did they get Kong to New York?!?! I mean, wouldn't the boat sink?!!? Whatever.
I called truce with robin. I do mean it. I shall be good to you this year. As for everyone else, I plan on being my regular old self. Hope you have no complaints.

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!!)

First Thing Done Since Being Home!

SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(but i'm still in a lot of pain and look pretty stupid!)

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!!!

I AM:

Excited!



I should be done by now, but I'm NOT! Almost though...

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.

Look Daddy, teacher says: "everytime a bells rings, an angel get's it's wings"!

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!

You Turn Around At Do It Too!

Okay, for those who didn't know, I recently wrote this stupid report on rewards and punishments in a classroom setting. I guess you could say that I'm now an expert on how to get students do change their behavior/ get them to do what you want them to do. So ironically, the teacher I handed it in to, when she told me what my mark was on the first midterm (87.5), she said that she thought I was doing very well in the class. Is that not a little positive reinforcement? Singling me out and telling me that I am doing well... that's just low. Does she think I don't know what she's doing. It's obvious she sees potential in me that I can achieve but haven't. She's just trying to get me to think that if I try harder, I will do awesomely. I can't believe she would try to use that Skinner bull shet on me. Well I admit it did work at first, it made me blush a little bit. But then after the affect wore off, I realized that i'd been tricked. Most teachers use this to push the students a little more. Whatever.

Teachers suck for manipulating your minds!

I can see the finish line. I'm almost there. Wait - wtf? What are all these obstacles doing in my way?!?! Some look pretty mean and nasty...

That's pretty much how I feel right now. It's the last week of school and then exams start. I honestly did try to study today... it just wasn't working out I guess. I shall try again 2mora.

Somehow I'm still in a pretty okay mood. (not likely however that it will stay).

I just have to make it to christmas. I can do that! .... right?

Boring Day.

ack! today was terribly slow. I did some shopping this morning. Finished my study notes for my exam. Next step - learn everything I just wrote down. ack. so not looking forward to that. grrr.... i'm frustrated with my boredom.

Just finished watching 'the longest yard'. i don't like football, but it's a pretty good movie.
This semester is getting too long. I just want it to end right now. I want to be home. Damn the cold!

And So She Asked Me...

I my last post I mentioned that this girl was asking me about what I planned to do in the future. When I told her my plans involved simply marrying for money and going shopping everyday, she asked me, "well, why do you try in school?". At first I was a little dumbfounded. Why do I try in school? I mean, it's true that this didn't make sense. However, having reflected upon the question, here is my answer...

I never used to try in school. I never really thought I could do well in school, and that blondes like me were meant to grow up and marry prince charming and live richly ever after. My grades throughout elementary school and the first half of high school weren't THAT bad. I mean, I usually had 60s and 70s, and reality, there isn't really much wrong with that. (With the exception of my science mark that is). So anyways, the end of the tenth grade was my turning point. After we received a project that I was unusually enthusiastic about, I set to work on it. I didn't really plan on getting an awesome mark, I just thought the project was really cool and I spent a lot of time on it because it interested me. Anyways, when I got the mark back, the teacher seemed to like it, because it was one of the highest marks I ever got. Shocked by the idea that I could in fact do well in school if I applied myself, I started the next school year with a lot more effort. Almost all my marks in grade eleven were above eighty. Since then, I've just continued to work hard and get good marks. I guess I have started to value these, which have caused me to morph into a total nerd.

Another possible answer to this, one that doesn't involve me writing a memoir, is that, perhaps I do actually find a career that I am interested in pursuing. I would need good grades to get into it, right? Without them, I wouldn't be able to follow the new path. Thus, it's always important to keep your grades up.

On a totally unrelated topic, I just want to go home. It's too damn cold here. I'm so bored of studying. I actually skipped a day of shopping to study for this stupid exam. (What was I thinking?!!?!?).

I miss all you markhamers. And even some of the hicktowners.
I want a peths reunion. can you honestly wait 10 years?

Everything Is Always Right In The World - and it always has been

If they did a study to see what teenagers complain about the most, I'm 99% sure the results would all point to school work. Although we all complain about our work shifts, our families, or even our friends, I still think school work would come out on the top. I wish I could learn the techniques of simply ignoring it. I'm going to spend my weekend shopping and preparing myself for my first exam next week. Joy!
Whenever I'm not writing my blog, I come up with all these witty things to say, but sadly nothing is coming to me right now. feh.
So today I told one of my new friends my "life plan". (You know, the one where I marry a rich old guy and never have to actually work.) She didn't take it very well. I don't think she thought it was realistic. She told me that I would get bored of not doing anything. She is so naive. Silly little brunette doesn't understand the dream life of a true blonde. lol - ya, that does mean that I'm s blonde again. All is right in the world.

I miss my car. All I want to do right now is drive away from my problems. I want to drive fast. To push that peddle, and go really fast. A car would be convenient. I miss the exceleration. When I get back, I'm taking my lovely car for a spin. We will go fast. Everything will just fly by me, and I will be in control. Dream come true.

Snow, everybody loves you but me...

Chick walks into my room: "Shannon, did you see the snow?"
Gee, let me see... was that the stuff I slid on and nearly fell over because of this morning when I left rez.??!!??
Everyone here is talking about the wonderful snow. To me it doesn't seem oh so awesome.
It does seem to have put everyone in a good mood though. I could hear christmas music earlier today, and people are cheerfully waiting the end of the semester so that they can go home. Even my evil neighbour doesn't seem so bad anymore. A couple nights ago, when I was still very angry at him and his loud music, I started this list of bad things he did and I planned to hand it in and get him kicked off my floor. However, today, he came by my room and chatted with me (I think he's scared of being kicked off because other people have complained about him...). So ya, he came by and was pretty decent. I told him that he plays his music too loud, and I think he might work on that... so I'm in a happier mood. But trust me, the mood is not related to the snow, like everyone else's. Nyways, It's practically the weekend. woot! Some of my classes are almost over. Can't wait for xmas!

Curse These University Marks

They go down.
They go up.
There is no winning.
You work hard in one, it goes up.
You work hard in the other, it goes down.
There REALLY is no winning.

I have peace for the rest of the week. I am happy. No more serious studying until the weekend. Gosh, that puts me in a good mood. I came back from my midterm today, and just did nothing. I watched a beautiful mind and let me tell those who haven't seen it yet, it's an amazing movie! It's basically about this guy who is REALLY REALLY good at math. In fact, all his other skills (such as social) kinda suck because he is so smart. Anyways, so this social reject goes to university and meets his fun roommate. The roommate really helps this dude's social life. (I'm going to tell you what happens in the end, so stop reading if you don't want to know what happens.) Okay, so anyways, the main character starts to work for the secret service or something like that, but then starts to go a little paranoid because he thinks that Russians are out to get him. In the end, you realize that he was actually schizophrenic and that his job, and his roomate, and other people, had all been imagined. The only way he finally could tell that they were not real, was because they never aged even though he was aging.

This kinda freaked me out, because how am I to know if someone is aging, and thus they are real? It totally creeped me out, because I thought, maybe I am also just imagining everyone I see... and there is no real way of knowing. Grrr... total freak out.
Anyways, I think the fact that I had had a philo midterm before that forced me to really think about whether or not "I exist" just helped. lol, so creepy. Screw you Descartes! Of course I f'in exist! Why do ya wanna mess with my head like that?!?!?! DIE DIE!

Hasta La Vista!

1987 ~ What A Terrible Year!

Most reading this were 87ers. So this might interest you. In my personal research, '87 was a crappy year. I looked the year up, these were the highlights:

1. The U.S. and Canada signed the free-trade agreement.
2. It was the age of rock music videos when Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, U2, and Pink Floyd each released new albums.
3. Nazi leader Klaus Barbie was convicted of WW2 crimes.
4. Zulu chief Buthelezi begins a civil war against South Africa's Africa National Congress.
5. Soviet Secretary Gorbachev and U.S. President Reagan sign the INF Treaty in Washington, D.C., to reduce their nuclear stockpiles.

And that's basically it. Not much happened that year. Sure much of the music released that year is still popular, and most of it was good. But that's basically the best thing about that year. Good Music.

Another thing that sucks about being an 87er is that you were too young to enjoy the 80s, unlike most of our older siblings or cousins. From what I heard, the 80s were awesome. We, on the other hand, were stuck growing up in the 90s. GAG! Those were terrible. In my opinion, the 90s were the years when the world started to go down hill. It started to get crappy right when we began learning how the world works. That's why so many of us are so fucked up.

And That's My Philosophy!
Now I just need to pinpoint the time when the world started to suck, and go back in time to prevent the hell we live in now.

Harry Potter With A Side Of Guilt Please!

This massive group of U of Ottawa students invaded the cinema friday night. The theatre could not have been more full. The movie was great, it got a lot of laughs. I think Ron Weasly is sexy! And Harry Potter is cute too. But all in all, I was suppose to watch the movie with my family when I came home. We had planned it during the summer, but now since I wouldn't be home until just before xmas, I didn't think that there would be time. I know I maybe should not have gone, and waited to see it with them, but I did really want to see it. And it was opening night (those are always the best). Plus it gave me a good chance to meet and hang out with new and slightly less new friends. I am happy with my decision to go, but nevertheless, I thinking I might just not tell my parents that I already saw it and let them take me later.

As for this weekend, it's study-hard for the final row of midterms before the exam attack. Lol. In bubbly-blonde terms, that means that I need to do some christmas shopping. woot! tis the season! Now, the right thing to do is to have a happy medium and do both. This could work.

In retaliation to Sammy's comment that he would love to see me try to bench-press anything... he is completely correct! I am a weak as anything. I went shopping this morning (damn the cold!) - for food! and I could barely carry aroud my little basket! I mean, even the little old ladies seemed stronger than I.

Nyways, It's one a.m. I should get some sleep. Harry Potter ROCKS! Go see it, unless you hoped it would follow the plot of the book, in which case --> never see it! There was nothing about houselves in the movie at all! All the important things that happened in the end of the book were pretty accurate, but the beginning is total messed up.

But I'm Not Lazy!

If I gave you three guess one what I did today, I doubt you would ever guess it. I assume that your first guess would be "went shopping". WRONG! After that, you would probably ask me "are you sure it wasn't shopping shannyn?"... WRONG I tell you! So ya, I really don't know what you would guess after that, but to save you the trouble, I'll just tell you. I went to the ........ gym! NOT to look at the cute/strong guys, but not actually work out! *shockes* indeed! So ya, my friend and I actually spent an hour there just exercising. I totally needed it too, since it's so bloody cold here now (yesterday = first real snow fall of the season) I haven't really been going out much. Ya, i do make it to the mall every once in a while, but there isn't anywhere really to go.

I also had a midterm today. Woot for psych! I'm hoping I did better than my last one... I studied less, but I think I understood more. Thus, I don't know what the result is going to be. feh. As long as I pass.

Que j'ai des problems de famille. Je ne sais pas quoi faire avec elle. Je n'ai jamais rencontré personne qui resemblait tellement a moi. Je suis tellement comme elle. Je ne veut pas devenir elle. Elle veut que je fasse des choses que je ne veut pas faire. Elle veut que je deviens cette type de personne. Celui qui s'amuse trops. Celui qui boit et fait des actes d'amours. Pourquoi es-ce qu'elle me fache tellement?

Sorry about that french part. If you wanna know what it means, it's not that hard. I didn't say anything important, so no worries. Well, I'll TTYL.
Can't Wait Til Xmas! The season is upon us. Be merry!
Shannnnnyn!

I Banish Thee!!

Today I noticed that I wasn't getting any work done. The reason, I soon discovered was because my laptop is such a distraction. When school had just started and my internet wasn't working properly, I didn't have this problem because there was nothing to distract me; however, now I don't want to do any work and simply want to play on my computer all day. Thus, having realized my problem, I banished my laptop from my sight. In an impulsive move, I unplugged it and hid it in an empty drawer under my bed. I didn't look at it again until after dinner when I got the urge to hook it back up again. I promised myself that after a little studying I would be able to spend as much time as I wanted on it. This has now become a form of punishment for myself, but it does help get the work done. Am I proud of what I did? No, it should not have come to that, I should have better control over myself. But still, it worked, didn't it? I'm thinking I should ask someone on my floor to keep it in there room so that I can make it through the weekend with as much productivity as I am capable of.
SO MUCH WORK TO DO!

THANK YOU TACKY FOR CORRECTING MY WORK! YOU DID SUCH AN AWESOME JOB! lol, and thanks to Heather too, although next time could you make it more clear what the changes you make are, it's hard to find the differences between my copy and your corrected copy if you don't make them distinct.

And lastly, an update on my hair. It's practically back to it's old blonde self. I think it might be slightly darker, but that could just be my view. I'm a blonde again. (yes sammy, I know, i never really changed, and that I will always be a blonde - but still, I think I might have been smarter as a brunette...) lol. BIES!

Happy Rememberance Day!!

What a festive day it is indeed! One might say it's more festive than ANY saint day! lol. I was thinking of putting one of those red poppies in my hair, and making a cute little thing out of it, but I thought later that it might be disrespectul. So I never even got around to buying one. Obviously somebody is lacking spirit! lol.
Nyways, I got stupid spanish class to go to today... I would love to skip it, but then I feel bad leaving my friend all alone. She actually has to go because she doesn't know much spanish, but I on the other hand, know enough already to take the final exam and pass... thus I don't really feel like going... but I will anyways.
After class, I'm going shopping with Lisa. I really need more stuff to decorate my room. It's so BLAH! All the girls on my floor have informed me that I have a surious lack of decorations. feh! WHATEVER! maybe I will get around to buying something today. we shall see. I also need more clothes. I LOVE THE MALL! (like duh!)

Signs Of Winter

No matter what somebody tells you, the first snowfall of the season is not a magical time!
It's f'in cold up here people! I curse Canada's weather.
It's time to pull out our hats & golves... and get ready for the ride.
I just want to go home (where I am sure it's even just a little but warmer!).
I wanna sit by the fire. Be warm. And let the spirit of xmas bring me joy.

FANTASY WORLD!
I'm stuck in the cold version of hell.


Can you tell that school is a stressor?

P.S. My hair has now started to turn back to blonde... so it's in the middle right now at a weird orangy color. Feh! No time to fix it. Must Do Work!

It Was Bolden Approved

So I was writing on of my first university papers, and I didn't know how to site something. What did I do? Well, I googled the cursed thing, but that didn't help, I couldn't find anything that would explain it, and when I did, it didn't really seem to be what I wanted. I didn't know what my next step was goign to be, so I tried to recall what I did last time I didn't know something like that. Of course I started to remember all these things about my high school, and the "CHITS". yea, i think we all remember those! Anyways, so I went back to web page approved by Bolden and that actually worked. It's weird that I thought of going back there.
No matter how many hours we spent making fun of the CHITS, I wish I had one now!

Cake + Birthday Party

My friend Steph from my floor's birthday was last week, so a bunch of girls from the floor went out for dessert to this really artistic style café, where we ate pretty (and frig'in expensive!) cake! It was really yummy! There were seven of us in total, and the night went pretty well as we started to share gossip about the people on our floor. Some of these things were really juicy...
Anyways, the topic somehow turned to what were some of the first impressions we got of the people on the floor when we first moved it. This one girl, who is really nice, but frankly a little too honest, told me that she and whoever she was discussing me with, thought that I was a super big bitch and that I thought that I was better than everyone else just because I never opened my door or talked a lot. I was frankly very shocked to hear this, because most people who don't know me very well, think that I am just sweet and really nerdy. Either way, I got kinda pissed at her and raised my voice a little bit... as I ranted to everyone that it's a common misconception that shy people are bitchy just because they don't talk. I should have added that just because I don't talk to YOU! doesn't mean that I think I'm better than you, it just means I don't want to talk!
That cake was good though. And company was fun. But now it's back to work.

I AM NOT A BLONDE (anymore)

Hello there. I have been dying to tell you my little surprise for some time. In an earlier post, I told you that out of excitement for our good marks, my friend (Berenika) and I went out an bought something. I wanted it to be a surprise for you. Although I accidentally told Tacky already what my plans were. Oops! anyways, so ya, my friend came over after dinner and I decided to dye my hair "punchy brown" and she went with "red pulse". Most of you know how blonde my hair was before this, but let me tell you hers was SO much blonder! Anyways, so ya, this is how it turned out: I think mine looks pretty nice, it's a nice shade and it looks pretty natural, although more fun than actually natural. Either way, I actually like mine. As for my friend's hair... well, she kinda went a little more red that we both expected. Let's just say she probably will be avoiding public for a while. lol. okay, jokes, it just looks like she went a little punk rockish. However, this isn't her style, so I actually find it funny. Just imagine that it's redder than an apple. That should help you picture it. lol. Nyways, hope you enjoy my little surprise, and get a laugh at the fact that your blonde queen is no longer blonde. lol. And let me also add that my hair is actually a bit darker than it looks in the picture, so ya, it's really quite a nice chocolate brown. Well, TTYL!
Shannyn - the brunette!

Riddle Me This

I just took this french placement test so that I could take a french class next semester. My results are a bit confusing. On the listening comprehension section, I scored 100% (woot!), yet on the reading comprehension, I only received 60%. I found that kinda odd and wondered what it meant. And another shocking thing was that on the grammar part I got 80%. I never would have guessed that! To me, that's the part I should have nearly failed - not the reading comprehension... which I thought might have been my strength. Nyways, the results confirmed that I am good at french. (shocking!) Thus I am happy.
I was also invited out to a bar today for my friends birthday. I'm not going. I would rather not waist my money on acoholic drinks in some nasty and dirty bar in Hull with people I don't REALLY know. It's not worth the boost in popularity.

What Chance!

Got a midterm back from a course I could have sworen from the beginning that I was going to struggle with.... but turns out I got an 82. That's quite respectable for me. Thus my current average as of today is over 80. I honestly owe that completely to Spanish, and blaim it completely on Philo. This of course put me in good spirite today. So after class my friend and I went and bought something that you will probably be kinda shocked about when I tell you what it is. I'm pretty excited about it, so I want to tell you really badly, but I'm going to wait until next week, or the very end of this week. I will see how it turns out. Either way, you will be informed... so you can poke & laugh, or be happy with me. Don't worry, it's not something weird. It's very cool.
I'm excited. This should be a good week.

I Hate The Price Of Failure

I thought I was doing well in university so far. I was wrong. Just as I was starting to believe that I could be smart enough to pull of 80s, I get super bumbed out by a 66!! yea... that stung. I've been sitting here, bragging about my amazing marks for a while now... and I am now realizing that everyone needs to pay there debts. The midterm went pretty well, i got pretty good marks on most of the questions... except this one question that was worth 1/5 of the midterm... and I got 5%! yea... shocking. And oddly enough the girl I sit beside got the exact same mark, so when she got her test back first and told me the mark, I acted like it was a really good mark... but then when I actually got the mark, I felt like I needed to pretend to be equally as happy with it. Now I'm just super not happy, and I'm afraid of the marks in my other courses... what if they turn out to be horrible too? I can't bear to get bellow a 60 on anything... I would probably start crying if I did. I know they are only marks, but my stupid high school has corrupted my mind into thinking that nothing but 85s are okay. After receiving back my first two midterms, whose scores were both above that standard, I was in too good a mood. Now it's time for me to pay the price. Thinking about this is making me want to cry. I AM NOT HAPPY!
my life is plentiful of ups and downs. Sticking to one is impossible, life changes too quickly.
