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!)
Shannnnonononononyn.

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.

I'm A Hypocrite!

My last post sounded bitter about Halloween, but that's mostly cuz I didn't have a plan. Tonight was good though. I borrowed some bunny ears from my neighbour Lisa. I wasn't a slutty bunny, despite what you might think about university bunnies. lol. Nyways, being in Ottawa, we knew where all the goods were. So we headed down to the governor generals' house and the prime minister's house. They each gave us little bags of candy... so that was pretty awesome, and on the way we stopped by a random house and I got some chocolate from there too. So ya, it wasn't a productive night for gathering candy, but it was fun all the same. After our stops, we went to a restaurant downtown for dinner... the meal was amazing! lol. I loved it. And our waitress loved us. It was awesome, she was soo good to us, mostly cuz we were all dressed up as different animals.... in the end she gave us each TWO pieces of bubble gum. How Sweet.
Nyways, fun's over. I'm happy that I got to go out with people tonight. It wasn't actual trick-or-treating cuz we used our purses for the candy and never actually said those words... and since we only went to one real house and the other two were those of important people who were obviously too important to actually give the candy out themselves...
The picture is one I JUST took of me. obviously i had to give back the bunny ears, so you missed those... but i still have my makeup on... so the effect is still there. THANK YOU ASHLEY FOR DOING MY MAKEUP! Aren't I so adorable? lol. Niters + happy halloween!

Hallows Eve Is Coming!

It's the perfect holiday. The day we all put on masks, and pretend to be what we are not. (wait, isn't that everyday?????) I think the girls in "mean girls" said it best when they remarked that it's the only day a girl is allowed to dress like a slut yet nobody is aloud to call them on it. Having seen some of the costumes around this building already, all I can say is that this is completely true. It's shockingly sad.
I have no costume or plans for halloween. I don't even care that much about the holiday. I stopped going out when I was just barely 13. That year I spent the night doing homework while my friends came to my door and I was the one to give them candy. I thought even back then that it was stupid. I went out once since then and it was fun, but something I don't mind giving up. The whole holiday just seems like a bunch of jokes to me. I don't care, to me it's just another random day. I'll probably spend the night doing work again. That seems to be my habit.
No development in my life.
Boo!

It's another candyless year for moi. woot woot.

Lacking The Creativity For A Good Title

you know what's an awesome movie? The Green Mile. It's really well done. I highly recomend it. It's not the type of movie I would normally watch, and trust me, there were parts were I really wanted to look away, but it's just amazing. However, I thought that the final ending was pretty stupid, although the ending of the story within the movie was really perfect. Nyways, that was my friday night fun (movie and pizza). This morning I woke up and watched some crappy saturday morning T.V. In other words, not much got done. lol. I'm thinking about going to the library later today. But I wonder if that will actually happen, or if much will come of that. No matter. It's only school. The two midterms I have gotten back so far had some very decent marks, thus I have decided to relax just a little more. Ironically this decision came at the same time as the acquiring of the new and better internet connection... lol. It's funny how things like that work out so nicely.

(115) ~ Guess Who Aced Spanish!!

Woot! It's a moral 98% victory, but in reality I really only got 97%. No dif, but still, I really should get that full extra percent. My teacher seems so sweet, but so evil at the same time. This morning I was one of the many who got to class before it started, and the teacher had an extra muffin. He said, pick a number from 1 - 11 (cuz there was 11 kids there in total), anyways, he went around the room and people guessed random numbers. Then when he got to me, I didn't really know what was going on, so I just said "seven". And guessed what, lucky seven is always the way to go. I won the muffin! And it tasted damn good! So after that class, i did some grocery shopping (more juice! - ya, i finally realized I have been spelling it the french way and didn't know that it didn't make any sense) lol. Anyways, free muffins rock! Niters!
(more movies have been watched, but I will not bore you will the list). Classes 2mora... how delightful. Spanish ROCKS!!! Woot! Buenas Noches A Todo El Mundo! Me Gusta MUCHO If De Compras! Pero, no tengo tiempo ahora. a la proxima.

Post #114

I am totally going movie watching crazy right now! After my last post I stayed up until 2am watching "sisterhood of the travelling pants"... then this morning I watched "The Perfect Man" (hillary duff), before dinner I watched "cruel intentions" and now I'm in the middle of watching family guy. lol. It's some good stuff. Nyways, after that I still have about 5 more to go until I am finished what I have already gotten. Woot. I'm in a good mood. I had but one class today, and although my friend and I were told by this really bitchy girl to "talk lower", that didn't ruin my day. (She is evil, my friend and I were being quiet and we were not talking during the important parts, but she turns around and looks right at me and basically tells me to shut up.) That's was stupid. Oh well, back to my movies...

Post #113

Had a midterm this afternoon. Think it went pretty well. I was suppose to have a class afterwards, but it was cancelled. My first cancelled class - I am happy! Anyways, so when I was walking back from that class with my friend from my floor, I was complaining about my internet, and so since we had all this spare time, she fixed my internet for me and got me some cool file sharing programs. woot! So basically I spent a lot of time watching movies since I got the program... I already saw Mean Girls, Guess Who, and part of Thirteen (but it freaked me out so I deleted it and never plan on watching the end!). Nyways, It's been quite a good day for me... so i'm gonna keep on smiling.

This Post Is For You - Sammy Fungus!

lol... today I met your twin. His name is johnny... your names sound a lot alike. You are also about the same height, and of the same racial background. You both talk the same way, use the same words, and talk about the same things. You both play computer games, and study a little. You both encourage your friends and oddly, you both do that am-I-shaving-cuz-in-some-places-you-can't-tell look. I thought you should know that your twin lives in my building.

Sammy, I'm glad you are not going to get your licence, you would be a creepy driver. That time that you were in my car, lol... let's just say I didn't think you were a natural. lol.

Anyways, today I studied... a little. lol. I tried, but I still have far to go before my midterm 2mora. No matters... I think most of it will get done.

P.S. I don't know which looks better.... attempt at curly, or attempt at staight hair. lol. Both are hard and don't offer many rewards.

Another Tries, Another Fails

Today I woke up in a pretty good mood. I decided to give ottawaian shopping another try. I set out to the local mall after lunch and planned that the first nice thing that I saw, that wasn't TOO expensive, I would buy. I came back empty handed. That's All I'm going to say about this shopping experience. I'm not liking it right now. I wish I was back home, cuz they have nice stuff there.
WHY DOES EVERYTHING I LIKE HAVE TO COST LIke $150+!?!?!?!?!?! or like triple what I'm willing to pay.
ggrrrrr.... well, i'd like to say that i'm going back to studying now, but that would mean that I have already done some studying and that I was planning to do some soon. Both are lies!
Enjoy the rest of your day, mine is spoiled!

Post # 110 ~ Happy UO Day!!

Indeed day is University of Ottawa day. Hundreds of families are here with their university bound children looking at the univesity and thinking about their future. The students that are already here are considered as the "art" - I suppose this since we don't have any classes today and we just walk around campus like lazy bums - that just makes the university a gallery.
Anyways, I was no lazy student today. I got up at a decent time and did some grocery shopping... (I LOVE JUS!) Then, since it's so f'in cold in this cursed city, I went to the local mall and looked for a blanket. But they didn't have any, so I walked across the street to the mall on the other side and bought one in the the Bay. Came back to my room, had lunch with a friend... Then I took Public Transit (it's soooo much better here!) and went to a farther mall. After hanging around their for a while, I went to some downtown streets and looked in some stores... then I walked back to the mall I went to this morning, and looked around there. I REALLY wanted to buy something.... but I didn't get to.... it's SO NOT FAIR! I need to go somewhere else.... Ottawa has NO fashion sense! Everything is soooo boring!!!! What has happened to the world?!?!?!

Calm Between The Storm

Yes, I'm in the eye of the storm. I have just gone through three really painful and one less painful midterm in the last three days. This weekend is all about shopping, and having fun... and then some major studying since I have the ultimate of all hard midterms on monday. I am so not looking forward to the end of this weekend!
Nyways, I'm pleased that I have no classes tomorrow... and thus am spending the day shopping like the bad little rebel child that I am. lol.
Niters!

Too Many Midterms.... Too Little Time!

So much to do, can't update as often... need to study... but that makes me sleepy.... so i need to take naps... but then I wake up to the sound of people nocking on my door, asking me to go out with them... and then I go and just keep pushing homework back a little farther... Next week will either kill me or make me stronger.... i'm thinking the latter. DIE EVIL MIDTERMS!! ROOT WHERE YOU CAME FROM!
I'm far to lazy to sit here and type all the cool things I have done, but let me tell you one of them envolves being escorted back to my building by the foot patrol... lol.

Daily Rant

Dear World,
School is sucking just simply because I am still trying to catch up from my weekend of skipping work. So much to do... so little time before my midterms. I'm really starting to hate my classes... of course that hatred doesn't include Spanish.... it's the one course I do enjoy... mostly because the teacher likes me and thinks I am intelligent. Let me do some spanish homework right now:
Me Gusta ir de compras,
Voy de compras cada dia,
Quieria usted ir de compras conmigo?
(ignore the lack of accents and lack of upside question mark at the beginning of the last sentance, just because i told you to.)
I should probably take the quiet time that I have now to get some work done... but I just know that as soon as I pick up my book, my ever so delightful neighbour will tern up his bass and my room will begin to shack.. and I will not be able to concentrate. I suppose it is infact worth a try though... TTYL!!


P.S. Happy BDay Kate!

Planes are Fast!

I took a plane back to school today... it was fast. lol. But it wasn't as cool as monday... I just hung out with tacky... and got the boys to do my homework.... sadly, Sammy wasn't so easily swayed... so I just let him play on my laptop while I bragged about how spoiled I am... lol. Okay, that doesn't sound THAT awesome... but I missed them! Even Souki! *shockes - i know*... Anyways, I got like nothing done... and I miss being able to corrupt young males into doing what I want them to do for me... lol... Sorry Souki, although you did an awesome job on my philo... lol! And a special shoutout to Mr. Lin for supplying such an awesome article for me.... lol. I can't get over how good it is!!!
Okay, so that was my weekend.... Today alone I spent over 300$ just to get to here... and for what... 30 mins of class?!?!? Useless!
Nyways, I need to get back to work.... avoiding it doesn't seem to make it disapear... so I have decided maybe if I actually crack open a book and do it, that maybe that will help it vanish... it's just a plan... don't try it at home kids!

TTYL WORLD!!
P.S. To the causer of miss t's probs - U SUCK!!!! WHAT THE *BLEEP* DO U THINK U'R DOING??!?!?! that's just tight of you my dear... even low for your standards!

Evil Cat Lady!!

On the bus, you meet all types of creepy people... like the evil cat lasy I met... her evil eyes were always on me. Spooky. Anyways, I did make it home. And in good time too. Honestly, as soon as I got home, I left. lol. Movie watching, and downtowning was fun guys! View Tacky's pics!! Corpse Bride earns a 7.8/10 just cuz I am nice. lol.... I think it's good, but not the makings of a classic. lol.

Feh! BWHAHAHA!!! It's sooo nice to be home, I think I got back into the ruff I was in all summer... that one that involved going out and doing no work... ya, that's were I am right now... pretty efin' sweet in my opinion. Anyways, things are going okay right now... I just don't know how I'm getting back to school... that's too weird for miss organized here. I would rather know. So en somme, I have few plans... and that's working for me right now. TTYL!

Home!

Can't wait to get there! Can't wait to leave from there! That's adolescents for you.
Wait, scratch that, I am an adult now! Feh! I totally don't act like it.
I'll be home in a few many hours. lol.
Just want to stand in my old room again. Relive all my old feelings and frustrations, and deep thoughts that I thought in that room. Wonder if I am better of now. Good plan.
I'll SEE you soon miss tacky! lol.
I'm sooo excited about it!
TTYL

Tacos

For those who know me pretty well, you will know that I have a very low tolerance for spicy food. Well, this will shock you then... yesterday some of the girls on my floor invited me to share some of their tacos because they had bought + made too much. So, naturally, I was like... "yummm, I love tacos" which wasn't exactly 100% truthful. Anyways, I went down to the kitchen, stuffed a "medium" (which was very painfully hot - i don't usually even like the mild ones!) taco down. It killed me, and at one moment I was wondering if I was going to start crying cuz it was just sooo spicy. These are the things one has to do to make friends I suppose. Oh ya, I forgot to add, they made root beer flots, which was never a favorite flavor of mine, but I was like.. "root beer flots, that is so cool! OMG! I haven't had one in sooo long!!!" but what i really meant by that little fib, was that I had actually never had one, and think the tast of root beer is too strong. Nevertheless, when you need something to wash down the spicy taco, it tasts great! lol... tacos are good.... it's just that my tolerance is lower than average. Anyways, this moringing I got up early, has a shower, did two loads of laundry, read a chapter for one of my classes, did some dirty dishes from breakfast, and ate lunch. All of this took three hours. I felt so productive. I still have more to do, so TTYL!

Soon I Will Be Home

I'm comin' home! Sweet! Only one week to go! I am pretty excited! lol... My parents miss me, but the first thing I am going to do when I get there, is take my car and get out of there. I don't think you realize how serious I am about this. I have obviously developed a lot of independence this year... I don't feel that I always need somebody anymore. Before I didn't like to be alone unless I was in my own house... now, I don't really care if I am alone or not. Infact, today I went all around town! I went to the mall, and there wasn't anything interesting there, because it is pretty expesive... so then I went to another part of town and I found this store that had CRAZY sales... lol... I just HAD to buy two new shirts! *I am wearing one of them in the second picture* So then when I was walking back to my room, I ran into two girls from my floor, they are awesome... anyways, I told them about the sale I found, and then I went back to the store with them again to show them just how cool is was, and they each bought like 5 things.... lol. It seems to me that I am the one with self control. Oh well, I still never got what I was looking for, so I guess I need to take some public transit and head off to another mall 2mora! That sounds exciting for me now - not so scary. Anyways, I have a lot of work to do too, so I can't always be out shopping, cuz trust me, the thought is interesting... I feel like I should work harder in some courses and less hard in others - I have balance problems... cuz I know I am so ahead in 2 of my classes but in the others, I am only with the class. I need to work harder! I need to concentrate more! I need to get my neighbours to stop playing lous music so that I can work and concentrate more. That's impossible.. so I guess that extra work will just not get done. what a shame. lol. I plan to do lots of work next week, so I don't have to bring stuff home with me. Well, now I am simply getting boring... so my plan, shop and work more... which is basically all I am doing right now... so I don't know how I am going to fit 'more' into my schedule... i'll figure it out.

School Of Rock

You should be pleased by this news... last night after my last class, this girl from my floor (who was also in my class + who was sitting beside me) and I walked back to our floor and she invited me over to watch a movie (School of rock). Later on, her neighbour came over too and the three of us watched the laptop screen. No homework got done... but I learned some cool things and was inspired to do some more decorating in my room. I swear I didn't know that the backboard infront of me was also a chalk board! How was I suppose to know that??!?!?! lol... printed out the pic of my bday cake and sharon's birthday present and now they are displayed on my board... it looks so colorful now. lol. (pic posted is what I just tried to explain to you.) It looks pretty eh? Well that's what I get to look at during my long homework/study periods... lucky me! lol. You can also see a bunch of small colorful circles... I made those by coloring paper and the punching out the holes with my three-hole-punch...lol. There is more to the blackboard so there is more prettyness you might just have to come over and see. You know what would be really nice... *hint hint* if someone came down to pick me up during the xmas break!!! *nudge nudge, wink wink* then I wouldn't have to take the train alone! Isn't not really THAT far, and I can help you get here! lol. tis okay. It would probably cost you more gas then my tickets do! Stupid gas prices rising everyday! So glad I don't drive anymore. I would have to take up another job just to support it. lol. SMARTIES RULE! bies (<-- smarties, as in the food, not the smart people, cuz they should never rule... jokes!) TTYL

Dear BMD, wherever you are....

During a quick chat with miss tacky, I admitted to her something that I had never really noticed about myself... these things always come out during girl talks (!!) Anyways, I told her I have been dreaming about him for a while now. It is sooo true... I have been thinking about him a lot lately... wondering where he is, and when (if ever), I will see him again... i know it's just the typical badboy crush that every girl goes through, but no matter how many years go by, even if I forget him name... the moment I see him, I WILL remember all. I miss the way he talked... I miss listening to him... even when he didn't know I was (which was most of the time... lol.) That sounds so lame now that I actually write it out... and be thankful I realize that myself... but he always made my day. I have see him in the highs and lows of his life... and neither bothered me... (in this case 'high' takes on two meanings, incase you didn't notice). No matter what he did wrong, I always defended him... (verbally or just in my head) and I tried to get people to see the side I saw of him (can be difficult, I know). I smell your smell every where I go... you nasty smoker! but I turn the corner, and you aren't there.... I don't even know where you are! We were NEVER close, but I still knew where you are most of the time... I knew so much that you never knew I knew (not in the creepy stalker way, just things you pick up). I hope you see you at one of our school reunions, please don't think you are too cool to come. I just want to hear you speak... you are so funny, did you know that? Your confidence amused me too... I wonder what you look like right now... do you still have that goofy hair style I claim is your own, and will never look at another guy with that style, without thinking about you.... although it was just too cool that I have never seen any other guy try it out... lol. You were special... and you knew it, but you never really used it. My gosh you were smart! and talented! People don't expect that when they look at you... they just see a wasted life... but I see what maybe you don't even see yourself. Anyways, I really should stop thinking about you... cuz you never even looked my way... infact i would be soooo shoked if you knew said something to me next time I see you. Cuz you did know me... you knew me pretty damn well actually. I still think about that one MAJOR conversation we had when I told you straight out that I liked you... I must say that you took it well. I didn't know what would happen afterwards... I guess you think I stopped liking you... well, here is some news... I ALWAYS LIKED YOU! and you will NEVER like me! That's fate buddy!

My Aventure Before Lunch

I woke up this morning, without absolutely no desire to do any work. lol. I also had run out of breakfast worthy food to eat... so I made spegetti again... it was much better than the last time. Then I got up the courage to take the bus... I only had to wait like 5 minutes for it to come... and I got on with like no prob... I had to ask where to put my ticket, but other than that it was okay, I took a transfer even though I didn't really need it... but it was okay... Anyways, I got off at the train station and got my student card. The guy laughed at the picture I had for it... he was like "did you take this through the mirror with your phone?" and I was like, "yah... I don't have a real camera, what was I suppose to do?" and he laughed.... lol. nice guy. so I got that, and now i can relax cuz I know that I could get back there if I had to. The trip home was much worse, although I had expected it to be better. I was waiting at the station and the bus just drove right past me... then I had to wait like 7 mins for the next one! So i got on and didn't take a transfer, which appearantly is a sin cuz he called me back to the front and told me I had to take one... I don't see the point of waisting the paper if I didn't need one! Grrr.... so nyways, that was my morning. When I got back I started to look around blogger.... see who knows who... (some surprises there) and found a couple of girls I used to go to elementary school with. Freaky eh? So reading some of their blogs I remembered what it was like to be in their possition. They thought that grade 12 was so hard... lol... that simply just made me laugh. Although it did make me wish I was only 16 again. I feel old now. I wanna stop time and stay where I am right now for ever.... 18 is good... not that old but old enough to do all the cool things you want to do... if not locally, somewhere in the world! Anyways, I have some reading to catch up on... to do or not to do? We shall see... bies!
Public Transit going 70km/hour is scary... and very hard to stand up in!

The Real University Life

I just had this total freak out a few mins ago... with nobody to call. It sucked so much, cuz I wanted to talk to somebody, to calm myself down, but Tacky was not to be reached... I don't blaim anyone in these cases... except for the freaky people in this town that freak me out.... you know you feel low when a hobo comments on your lovely blue eyes... and when only person has called you so far, other than rents and people who work in the adminsitration, is a guy who wants to practise his grammar and dialed a random number hoping for a nice person who is equally a little insane to answer. That has been my life so far... Well, you will tell me to get out of this room and go meet new people... my reply to that is that I am a shy person... but let me add one more thing, today I met a new person, I did that thing where you walk into a class and sit beside somebody who has nobody else beside them... cuz maybe you guys can become friends... well so I did that today but as my luck would have it, I meet this girl who wouldn't stop talking the whole friggin' class to me so I missed what the prof was saying, and seeing as how it's the only class I am the most screwed in, I actually wanted to listen today.... but I felt rude if I were to tell her to shut up. In conclusion, if somebody in a class is sitting by themselves, there must be a reason - either they drove everyone else away from them (today's case) or they are really pathetic looser's (my case) and simply are not meant to be talked to because their lives are just that boring. Thus, don't talk to them! That of course is a lesson you will have to learn in university.

SOOO much reading to do! I know they warn you about it before university, but seriously, it's a friggin' lot!

I am SO not good with names!

Okay, so know that I "know" someone in all of my classes, the next step is to remember their names... I know the name of one girl... but as for the others, first of all, Please do not expect people to remember your name.... secondly, be very clear when you first tell another person your name, and thirdly, if your name is written somewhere do not expect other people to know your name because you have have one of those names that people are not sure how to pronounce. Thus I think my point is very clear.... I don't know your name, but how the hell do you know mine? Seriously people! I mean, my name is pretty easy I guess, so if you saw it you would know how to say it... it's not that uncommon! So ya, I understand that you might know my name if you saw it and then would not be afraid to call me in the halls but for all the other people out there who I told you my name once, how can you remember it? It's your first year at uni, how many people have you met so far, probably I lot, in that case, how do you remember MY name if I only told you once?!?

Feh, let me tell you how my weekend went... no wait, let me show you... lol. So I mostly went out to discover more about my surroundings in this great town... and the first important thing I came accross was the american embassy... it looks so bold and strong... here is a pic of it. It's all guarded up, which got me to think that they must really think we are a powerful nation that might attack them or something.. lol... that would be funny.. little Canada... jokes... Anyways, another building I saw was art museum... it's basically got a lot of glass walls all around it and there is a really large (and personally very ugly) spider that sits out there as if it is going to attack you. Maybe the people at the american embassy but up all the gates to protect them from the giant spider... lol. I didn't go in the musuem this time, but I have been in there with my class a few years ago went we took a trip all the way up here. Anyways, I found some other museums I thought about checking out... they included the war museum, the photography musuem (I wish Sammy was up here so I could go with him and make all the tourist think that we are professionals if they were to listen to his talk about lenses and if I do that agreeing thing with the humming noice... lol.) I also saw the museum of civilisation and the dinosaur museum... lol... there are a lot of museums around here! Finally I came across one of the sources of my misery... this church (last pic) is sooo evil! Well, not the church it self, let me explain... I call this pic "Bell Church" not because I am a frenchie and think that it is a pretty church, but because the bells from this church can be heard everywhere all the time... I happened to be right beside the church as it was near 12:00pm and guess what I heard... the loudest symphany one could ever hear.... MY GOSH it was sooo loud... so I curse the evil bells and wonder how do the people how live around there not go deaf!

So anyways, that was my weekend... I also spent a lot of time studing... because of the stupid weather... however, I am ahead once again in some of my classes... woot for me! TTYL Shannon

Rainy Days

The weather really sucks here... it's not quite raining, at least you can't say right now that it is actually raining, because it's more like a misty feeling. Some people are still doing the umbrella thing, but most people are just simply staying inside. Anyways, that I what I have been up to all day... stupid weather means I get to stay in my room... and what is there to do in my room? lots of lovely homework... lol!!! Indeed, I have spent most of my day doing work or playing on my computer.
On the left there is a picture of me sporting my lovely pink jacket, which is suppose to represent the weather outside... you can tell that I am quite bored, eh? I think you will notice if you compare this pic with the others that I took from the same location that I still haven't moved that ugly box of TIDE... although it had been opened... (I did laundry yesterday ALL by my self... it was actually very impressive!) Nyhoo, I also took a pic of my eye... because it is simply just that beautiful... jokes. I am just that bored I guess. So en somme, this is how my eye looks taken from a poor quality camera phone through a mirror. I am not even wearing any makeup. Just thought you would like to know that. Oh well, back to my books... TTYL

♥ Simple Plan : Untitled

Indeed, that is a good song! The music video is super sad but it makes a lot of sense... the first time that I saw it I thought I got the point of it, but I wasn't too sure... so ya, the people are flying in the end because they are pushed back by all the pain - at least that is what I got out of it. Also, the main girl in that video has both a brother and a sister... at first I didn't really think that she had a sister... that was confusing for me. Anyways, i have noticed that when blogging people really like a song, they post the lyrics for it... well I am not like that, so you have to go find it for yourself. (It's on Yahoo! if you want a hint... but you can also find it be using Windows Media Player and searching via the guide.)

Today has a pretty good day. I met up with this girl for my one and only class and we sat together... it's wasn't terrible! Well, first of all the obviousness that I wasn't really alone made it better and that there was someone who could help me when I got confuzzled, but on the other hand, it was also mi clase de español. Lol, hoy aprendimos que soy una estudiante y que ella es la profesora! We also learned how to greet people and say goodbye... for example, good afternoon = buenas tardes! and good night = buenas noches! however, you can say good night as a goodbye too... whereas buenas tardes y buenos días can only be said in greetings... that is weird. However, I did already know that, so I was pretty bored the whole time... although I am trying to give the impression that I don't know a lot of spanish. There are some good benefits to that. First of all, it will not make you seem like a know-it-all. Secondly, you can get answers wrong and nobody will care, thirdly, you can fit in really well with all the people who do not know any spanish it all. To conclude this paragram... I would like to end with another one of the goodbies that we learned - HASTA LUEGO!

I told myself back in the tenth grade that once I passed science that term, I would never have to ever learn it again - ever! Well, it turns out you have to learn it in psychology... and when the prof says that you don't need to know any science to understand the DNA related part of the course, she assumes that most people actually know something about science... I however, barely passed three years ago, and now I am still learning about nucleus'... WTF?!?! I was soo confused, and I don't really know that many people right now, so I was like, you can I ask a question without making myself look a total nerd or dumbass... so of course, I turned to miss tacky!! I phoned her up (screw the long distance bill!) and got her to explain it all to me... lol.. of course she did seem to know a lot! Anyways, this got me thinking, maybe I should try some sort of science for dummies type course, cuz apparently I still should now some more about science, but then I realized I was going crazy and that that would NEVER happen!! lol...

Anyways, that's all for me today... TTYL - and don't worry, I won't go into science - ever! that would just be too funny!
