I officially hate pigeons.

As Heather and I predicted, once you actually start the maudite thing, it's not sooo bad. When I started, I realized I wouldn't mind another resource, and since I literally live 20 seconds away from the library, I decided to go. For me, every trip to the library is a terrible story. Here is what happened to day: The books I wanted to look at were super easy to find and I had no probs there, but when I sat down to see if the books I chose would be helpful, I was stupid to pick a window seat. Outside on the ledge (there is a pretty think ledge up there) was what looked like a GIANT RAT! I almost let out a crazy loud scream but I silenced it when I realized tt wasn't really a rat - it was actually a fat pigeon. Nevertheless, I was totally creeped out by it. I watched it sit there and look evil... and I started to think of the movie: the birds. Ya, that was not a smart idea! I had visions of it breaking the glass and killing me poor innocent little me. lol. This sounds totally stupid now, but honestly, you had to have been there.
I was at the library for over an hour, and the stupid pigeon was there the WHOLE time. Near the end, another one came to join it... so I was totally creeped out b/c the pigeon was gaining friends. ahhh!!

Anyways, after the library I was actually on a role for a while. I wrote enough to satisfy myself before my maudite neighbour came home and turned on his maudite base. My night is spoiled b/c of him.

My English Essay Scare Me

It is time to start the weekend of horror. I have a terrible english essay which is due in exactly one week. I REALLY don't want to do it. I think I am actually scared of it. I really just need to start it, maybe then it will not feel so daunting. Maudite Essay!

I was crabby last night, I apoligize. I should never have written that I did not want to be talked to. (it says something like that in french). Talking always makes me feel better about things. I don't want to run away.

Die Subjonctif Die!!

I have an exam 2mora. yah for French!! I get an early start on my exams... oh goodie!! Well, there are benefits of having exams outside exam week... you do get more time to study for them i suppose. feh. And you are still in study mode, once exams start and classes end, it's harder to get up the energy to study.

Subjonctif rocks me socks. Il faut que tu fasses tes devoirs. Il est nécessaire que Maggie aille à tous ses classes. LOL! Tsk tsk... i'm frustrated at her for skipping for no good reason.

My tolerance is low. La stress me tue. Ne me parler pas s'il-te-plait.

Reflexion Produces Procrastination

I think I might have hurt somebody's feelings today by telling them something they didn't need to know. They were all happy, until I told them the truth... and I know it got them down. I don't know if I should have kept the truth to myself, or if I did the right thing. I guess the main question is: Are little white lies good or bad?

Where did all this summer come from?

I think I can proudly say that I complained all winter that it was too cold. I even figured out how to take tons of tunnels all around the school to avoid being outside as much as possible. I know I was a wimp, cuz this winter wasn't as bad as some record low breaking ones, but I am still proud to have survived it. In this picture, I'm wearing my summer sunglasses and summer jacket.... cuz I'm unbelievably happy that it made it over 10 degrees today in Ottawa (it's a pathetic little celebration!) Yah for summer!!!!!!!! Please don't ever leave me again... I might not be able to survive another Ottawa winter... if you leave i'm screwed!! I love you summer!!!!!

P.S. I'm learning now why most blogs don't have music on them. It's cuz you get really sick of the song too quickly! Maybe I should take the music off... feh, whenever I have the time.

But the Smarties were calling my name...

You might not be able to tell, but in this picture my mouth is full of multicolored smarties. I was desperate for some chocolate... and smarties was the best choice in my rez vending machine. I have a funny way of eating smarties that I only ever do when I'm eating them alone or with my brother. This is what we do: separate all smarties by color - i.e. make groups of pink, groups of green..... Then, take one smartie from each group to form a new group that has all the colors... do this as many times as possible until one of your colors runs out. You should end up with a couple groups of ever single color smartie and some other really small groups with only a few smarties of all one color. The multicolored groups are set aside. You take the smallest of the single color groups and eat it. You work your way up (from smallest group to largest) until you a finished eating all of the single color groups. Then you move on to the multicolored groups and put each group into your mouth at a time. It's like a chocolate explosion!! Yummy yummy!!

Happy March 27th!!

I'm updating for the sake of updating. oh sad. I'm at the point where I will do anything so as not to be doing any homework. Tsk tsk Shannyn!

I can't believe I'll be nineteen this year. Damn that's old. Most of you are either already 19 or are about to be turning 19. I still have to wait about six months! ack! But when it does happen, I want to make it super special. For people I know in Ottawa, i'll celebrate when I come up here... but for all you markham folk, let's do something BIG this summer!! I'm dying to take a road trip somewhere... and it's not like we don't have the means!! lol. feh... that was just a random thought.

Post 219 ~

Friday was shopping day. My 'aunt' and 'uncle' picked me at at rez and we spent the afternoon shopping in Québec. Then came back to the restaurant district for dinner and ate at a mexican restaurant. Pollo is always the safest!! lol.

Saturday: stayed in my room, watched movies and did homework.
Sunday: stay in my room, do homework.

Last night around 2 a.m. there was a loud fight going on outside my room. I didn't want to get out of bed so I just waited it out in my room and fell back asleep. This morning I went to the bathroom and there is this huge whole in the wall right outside my door. It's ugly looking. I'm just waiting too see the damages our floor is going to have to pay for this.

.:Sick:.

I feel like crap. It's times like these I wish I had a roommate or somebody to take care of me. I wanna go home!

Sunday night I couldn't go to sleep until 2:00am b/c I had a bad case of the shills. I kept waking up during the night and never slept for more than 3 hours at a time. Monday I spent the whole time in bed except for when I went to the bathroom (that was as far as I could make it - which is about 10 feet outside my bedroom door). For some reason my tongue was practically white and I felt like throwing up all day. I tried to keep hydrated but nothing would bring my tongue back to it's regular pinkish self. I felt really weak and sick to my stomach and had the most painful headache of my life. Last night I still wasn't feeling much better - possibly b/c I hadn't eaten all day... but I was too weak to even go over to my neighbour's room and ask him to turn off his damn base. Consequently my head was still in sever pain.

My head still hurt, my stomach is still angry, but I never throw up and my tongue is looking happier. I think I should be better by 2mora.

Hope you feel better too Maggie.

Dear Anonymous,

It really creeps me out when I realize how many people could read this. I know there are some avid readers, some regular readers, some whenever-they-have-time readers, and some random readers, plus of course whoever happens to find their way to my blog that day... but it's scary to think that I just let all my thoughts and problems be read by so many people. When an anonymous person signed my blog today, whom I am dying to know who it is, I realized anyone could be reading my blog, even the people I trash. If they never leave a comment, I would never know they read it...
The way my blog is set up, is that I know who reads it, and therefore what I can and cannot say. Finding out that someone I didn't know had read my blog - and possibly has been reading my blog for a while - was a total shocker. I just hope I never said anything bad about them. I really have to watch what I say. Since when was a blog not about what you want to say, but about what you can say? Isn't that what real life is for? When you are restricted to saying certain things... but in my blog, I always wanted it to be more private... so that I could say whatever I wanted without the fear of someone feeling hurt.

Please tell me who you are Mr./Ms. Anonymous. I'm pretty sure you are a female from d.h.p.s. just tell me who you are!!! *pretty please with a cherry on top* It's mostly a matter of curiousity. I do like to know who reads this.

It's a creepy creepy small world...

Okay, my friends convinced me to get a facebook account. I did, and I was looking around at the people in my building. All of a sudden this name caught my eye: Trevor Greenham. That was the name of a guy in I knew in elementary school. I look at his pic - It's the guy I see ALL OVER campus! WEIRD! I messaged him, and it turns out he recognized me but hadn't said anything incase it wasn't me... OMG! I can't believe it been over 6 months and I never knew it was him!!! We lived in the same town!!! I'm totally shocked!! His sister was my reading buddy when I was like in grade one! I've seen his house! He went to the same high school as my brother! He helped me with my multiplication tables in grade 3. This is totally insane!

Okay, i've got to calm down and get over it.
TTYL

Yes Maggie, We Did Get Work Done!!

Maggie called me after lunch today, and she + Heather convinced me to go down to her house to get my homework done. Mostly is was the promis of cake that did it. Lol, for once I actually got enough work done (Heather did way more though... congrats to her). I got really bored after a while and just started doing random crap. Like writing a letter to Maggie, decorating it, playing games on my computer, proof reading Heather's essay-in-progress, and eating Jelly Bellys. Yummy!! Nyways, thanx to Amy for driving me back to school... and to Maggie and Heather for getting me out of my room. TTYL (Below is a joke I got on St. Patty's day).

The Irish Are Too Funny --> Two men were sitting next to each other at a bar. After a while, one guy looks at the other and says, "I can't help but think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland. The other guy responds proudly,"Yes, that I am". The first guy says, "So am I! and where about from Ireland might you be?" The other guy answers,"I'm from Dublin , I am." The first guy responds, and so am I" Sure and begora, And what street did you live on in Dublin ?" The other guy says,"A lovely little area it was, I lived on McCleary Street in the oldcentral part of town." The first guy says,"Faith & it's a small world, so did I! so did I! And to what school would you have been going?" The other guy answers,"Well now, I went to St. Mary's of course." The first guy gets really excited and says, "And so did I. Tell me, what year did you graduate?" The other guy answers,"Well, now, let's see, I graduated in 1964." The first guy exclaims,"The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same bar tonight. Can you believe it, I graduated from St. Mary's in 1964 my own self."About this time, Vicky walks into the bar, sits down, and orders a beer. Brian, the bartender, walks over to Vicky, shaking his head & mutters,"It's going to be a long night tonight." Vicky asks,"Why do you say that, Brian?"
"The Murphy twins are drunk again."

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

My family is very very irish - and very very proud of this. When I was a young teen, I hated St. P day b/c my parents forced me to wear green. I rebelled! I especially remember I was forced to were green to church the weekend closed to St. P day! That was really cruel. I hated feeling like I HAD to wear it. One year I wore a green t-shirt, then secretly brought a sweatshirt and put it on whenever my parent's couldn't see me. Lol! Those were my rebellious days. This year however, I actually wanted to do laundry last night so that I could have something nice and green to wear. Times are a changin'.

Today I had my morning classes then went shopping after lunch with Maggie and her friend Amy. *yummy beavertails*. Maggie bought the game 'guess who' b/c I had really really wanted to play it when we were at the war museum with my bro but the stupid people wouldn't let us. So she bought it, then after out delicious beavertails we sat there playing guess who, in the middle of the caf of the mall. Lol! We probably looked crazy! It was super fun though!!

The rest of this weekend in for homework... (let's just see how long that plan lasts!).

I'm thinking I'm probably going to be one of the only people on my floor tonight. There is more to the irish than drinking!! St. Patricks' day is more then just a drinking fest!!!!
*hope you wore green though* -- unless you wanted to be anti cliché... which is okay too!

post 212 - my long awaited return

It feels like forever since I last posted. Let me recap my activities:
Monday, went to pick up my bro, Ry, at train station. Was unbelievably happy when I saw him. I took him on the train back to my rez, showed him around campus a bit, then we went to Parliament Hill. We went up the bell tower, took the tour (same one as when I was in grade 7 - everything looks the exact same too). Lol! Then we had the infamous Ottawa beavertails. (pastry with crap on top - we had the chocolate and peanut butter ones - so yummy). I'm sure you could buy them somewhere else, but I have only ever seen them in Ottawa. Nyways, then we just hung out and watched movies the rest of the evening. Tuesday I introduced him to Maggie and Heather, and the four of us went to play pool, air hockey, and ping pong. Turns out Heather and Ry are pretty good at all three. I totally sucked at pool and had to get them to teach me how to hold the stick... then at air hockey I faced off with Ry and met a challenger. Then we all played each other at ping pong. Ry and I started off and we were pretty crazy... instead of keeping the ball on the table, we were all over the room! (literally)!! Then we went to an on campus reataurant for dinner, which was okay. Nyways, then yesterday we went to the war museum - it was alright... very war like. My fav. part was kicking both Maggie and Ry's asses at some war time game. (Gotta love board games!) Lol, then went to Maggie and watched Swing Kids. It's an okay movie, but the highlights of being at her houses included Ry banging his head against her wall while made me shout "is the wall okay?" before asking if Ry's head was okay. Lol, and when Lewis and Heather came over and Ry asked him "who are you?". Lol, so rude Ry! Feh. For dinner we went to an actual restaurant! So Sammy will be happy to know that I actually took my bro out! and we did not JUST eat chocolate and candy the whole time!

I had such a busy day today that I am surprised I did so much. Woke up early, went to class, took notes, watched presentations, got out early, took bro to train station, avoided tempation of going to mall instead of back to school, made in back in time only to miss first 8 mins of my next class, had lunch, corrected my friend's work, organised my room, went to class, went to library, did research, had dinner, took a shower, talked to Ber + Maggie + Dad + Ry, reviewed and printed out homework, now here I am. It doesn't sound too bad, but I was really quiet crazy... I ran everywhere! Ack! TTYL - might shop 2mora!

Mi hermano!

Mi hermano is coming!! I'm crazy excited! C'est mon petit frère!! (Okay, I know I promised no more french, but I figure most of you should at least know that!) Nyways, he is coming! Yah!! I'm going to have a real visitor - not someone who already lives in Ottawa. We are going to hang out and spent all of our parents money on junk food and we will be fat little piggies in the end. LOL! But it will be high class junk food, so it will be not so bad! he he.

I doubt I'm going to update much while he is here b/c then he would find out about my blog, and that would be bad!! So.... cheerio until next post! Hasta La Vista!

Movie Night + Happy Bday Sammy (again!)

I saw libertine today with Maggie and Jon. We had to take a bus to the farthest end of Ottawa - okay, not literally, but it was the farthest out that I had ever been. But it was none the less a nice night... minus the fog, and Maggie's stomach not feeling to well. Plus the movie was 'interesting'. "I'm weeping from my other head" claimed a man in the movie... that's really just nasty. The whole movie is basically about theater, alcohol, and sex. It did look like a good movie though and Johnny Deep did make it decent... except in the end when he was really ugly and dying. Therefore, en somme, I don't really suggest you go see it!

I really want to make a post in Italian, but I don't speak a word of it - at least no more than the common person. But this doesn't mean that I can't try!

Oggi, ho visto un film - non era buono. ho mangiato il popcorn - lotti e lotti di popcorn (Troppo di esso). In ogni modo, il mio fratello sta venendo visitar!! Domani!! *Sono felice*. Lo Amo!!

Okay, if you speak Italian, do not be offended! I don't speak it, so you can't blame me for my mistakes! Nevertheless, I do kinda wanna learn the language - although it's far to close to french and Spanish, neither of which I have finished mastering. Anyhow, I would like to know what 'popcorn' is in Italian, b/c i could not translate the word!

Can I ban going to the library?

HAPPY 19th BDAY SAMMY!!
Today Sammy is Officially One Year Older!
And of course, a happy unbirthday goes out to everyone else!

Yesterday started out so crappily, then Maggie wanted to cheer me up, so of course, she took me shopping. Woot! We found a lot of really cute stores by just wondering downtown, curse the prices though! Nyways, after shopping I decided I really needed to get work done. I went to the library, which totally screwed me over b/c the books I needed were either already out, or not even very useful. Thus, I have to change my topic of my major essay - again! Ack! Damn English!
Then, when I finally went to take some books out from the library, the stupid buzzer went off saying that I stole something - which I obviously didn't, but it totally freaked me out! I have noticed that I have a lot of library related problems... I wish I could just never go there again... impossible.
Last night, as I was getting ready to go to bed, Maggie and Heather call me for an emergency makeover. They are already 19 + so they can get into clubs and bars in Ottawa. Nevertheless, Maggie needed my eyeliner... so I had to go over to Heather's a give it to her. I never even wear eyeliner, but apparently mine is pretty good - I only bought it b/c I figured that every girl needs one.

Of to the library again today... I hate those little adventures!

My heartbreaking story...

This morning I woke up around 8:30am and decided, why the hell not get up? There was no real point of sleeping in that I could find at the time, so I got up and went to the bathroom as usual. On my way back to my room, I noticed my white board had been "decorated" for me during the night. I suppose there must have been a drunken party that I slept through last night, although the halls were not as messy as they normally are the morning after. Nyways, by the word "decorate" I mean somebody had written truly mean and hateful comments in thick black marker all over it. Some of the comments were just cruel, and my board was literally covered with them. This really upset me but I didn't want to take it to seriously. So what if my door had been the only one targeted, I was better than the situation... I knew I would get over it. I decided just to leave it there and figure out what to do with it later. It was still too early to get some homework done or go to the library, so I started to watch "The Breakfast Club" while eating breakfast. Around 10:00am I noticed a small noise outside my room, as if somebody was poking at my door. I thought angerly that the person who committed the crime had come back to do more damage... however, it was actually a girl from my floor. I couldn't see what she was doing... so I quietly went back to finish my movie and waited the situation out. Finally I got up the courage to open my door and check it out... it was blank! The girl had probably seen it when she got up to go to the bathroom and decided it was not cool for me to have to see it, and so why not try to wipe it off before I wake up. If I had only slept in, I would never have known that someone defaced my board and that someone so kind had tried to hide it from me. I wanted to go up to her and thank her, or let her know that I thought so highly of her, but I can't say anything because then she will know that I knew and her little effort/good dead will have been for nothing.

As I sit here contemplating my morning, I remember all the times I had sent hate messages to people - some by letter, and others by email. I now truly know what it feels like. The feeling in the pit of your stomach is hard to get rid of. I mostly just wish I knew who did it. I can't think of a person on my floor who would actually hate me that much, seeing as how I try to stay invisible here. I say warmly hello and good morning to everyone I see, and I try to help them with their problems if I can, but I like flying under the raidar of my C.A. and prefer everyone just knowning the quiet little me who only ever asks for help with homework. I never cause trouble, like I kinda was known for doing in high school (french situation with Anne for exemple...). Here I'm just the innocent + shy little girl. Only one person on my floor - the girl who cleaned my board for me this morning - ever put effort into helping me get involved with the floor. Sure people talk to me all the time and are really friendly, but she actually invited me to a bunch of activities and came shopping with me... she was the only person who cared. She clearly has done her good deed today... now it's time for me to do mine.

Still Without Ice Cream - Are You Proud?

It's been about a week and a half since I officially declared a lent ban against it. I have never wanted it more than I do now! lol. I miss ice cream.

Right now, Maggie is over and watchin a movie - must love dogs. I am trying to get some work done, but I don't want to start my "rédaction"... I will eventually get it done though. I've got time.

2mora I plan on either doing this or doing research in the library or both, cuz they both sound super exciting, how will I ever choose. That will be saturday, then sunday I need to do my major essay outline... which is due soon and I'm totally screwed for and requires research. ack! That will literally take the whole day... cuz I want a kick ass essay... thus the plan must be awesome!

I am code, and you decode me!! (<-- my teacher said that and I liked it!!)

The Pencil Case... How I love thee!

My first class this morning went normally, but when I got to my second class I realized that I had left my pencil case in the first class. Oops! I totally freaked out, ran out of the class, ran half way across the university to go back to the other class where I walked in during a class, asked the students and teacher who were in their if they had seen my pencil case... no success. I was upset about my missing pencil case for a number of reasons... first of all I had an important part of my project inside it and if I had lost that I would be pretty screwed, secondly, it's not that the pencil case was all that pretty, but my friends from high school had all decorated it and therefore it has sentimental value. Thirdly, I would be seriously in lack of pretty pink pens if I did lose it. Nyways, so I called this girl in my class when I finally got back to the class I was suppose to be in... no answer. I was worried. It was hard to pay attention to the corrections of a midterm that the teacher was doing (only got 88% - one percent higher than last time - at least I can say that - damn linguistics). Finally I tried her again, and she told me she had picked it up, and that it was safe. I could breath again... ahh... safeness. Woot!!

Nyways, that was my morning. Then later I finally had my presentation, which went all right, the teacher thought my poster was really pretty and showed a lot of effort. I definitely talked to fast though... hard to be helped. At least my class was small... it really could have been a lot worse!! *smiles*

I can breath again!

I Did A Maggie Makeover!

I held Maggie hostage today. After hanging out with her for a while in my room, I decided to take drastic measures... I offered her hot chocolate, tons of computer time, chocolate, cheese, and a crazy makeup makeover with nail polish included... but eventually she did leave. Boo... what sadness. Although I was successful for many hours! Nyways, now I'm all alone in my room, with a crazy french presentation 2mora that is totally freaking me out. I just want to face the facts, I can't speak french and I can't do presentations!! Ack! I'm oh so clearly in the wrong program!

The Secret is Out!

To summarize for those who don't live in Ottawa, my friend Heather liked this guy... so eventually she told him this, but he didn't feel the same way. Later, Heather's close friend Ber ends up having a moment with him, and he admits that he likes her, and now they are dating, and Ber just told Heather this info a few hours ago. So basically Ber broke the girls code of never going out with their good friend's crush. Heather took it a lot worse than Ber predicted, and Ber thinks Heather is overreacting b/c she basically cut off all activities they share for the moment. Maggie is comforting Heather it seems b/c they see eye to eye on the situation. I on the other hand understand more than Ber seems to, but think that I would not have totally cut off the contact with my friend. I'm in the middle. It's such a complex situation b/c it all happened so soon... and Maggie and I have thoughts on the situation I wouldn't voice here.
If Heather cuts Ber out for too long, their friendship may never repair itself... and if Ber doesn't understand Heather's feelings, they are really screwed. It just sucks for Maggie and I b/c we are in the middle - especially her (Maggie seems to totally agree with Heather, and I really don't have a side, although it seems that I am taking Ber's side, which isn't necessarily true) - and it feels like we are the spokespeople for one of them.
So that's the latest gossip I bring to the table. I just know that I would have to have a better excuse than Ber's for dating my friend's ex-crush.

I'm Officially 18.5 Years Old!

Lately I have been totally obsessed about my half bday. I never celebrated it before, and usually let it pass without even noticing it. This year however, I have been so excited for now apparent reason. I don't understand it. Maybe I'm making up for my lack of an actual birthday b/c I didn't really do anything when I turned 18... except shop! Lol. Does that make any sense? No matters, it's a day of celebration... hope the caf will be open so I can get some cake! yummy!

BTW - the picture was taken last night instead of studying for my midterm... but I do think at least one part of it went pretty well :)

Off to be a study nerd. Ta ta et a demain mes lecteurs!

Post 202 - A Surprising Revelation!

Yesterday, before I went to Maggie's house, I decided my printer's black ink really needed to be changed. I used to think that there was no point of even trying myself to change it, but seeing as how I was alone, I figured I should at least try it before I call a guy to do it for me. Ya, there was a lot of struggling that occurred... but I eventually found the instruction (*the bible for doing manual labour*) and fiddled about with the cartridge... and I eventually was able to do the whole thing myself!!! Okay, you might say... that's just kinda sad Shannon. But I JUST discovered the surprising self satisfaction that occurs when you do something all by yourself! It is actually a pretty cool feeling.

Nyways, after that and some more studying - midterm 2mora! ack!! - Zoe drove Maggie and I to Maggie's house - lol, for once it wasn't me doing the driving! Maggie and I saw Sixteen Candles which is my new favoritest movie! A part from a few creepy lines, I think the geek in that movie is SOOO cute!!!! awww..... he is adorable!

Gotta go back to studying.

So Far I Have Kept My Lent Promise!

The only reason I didn't get as much work done as I planned is because I sent my info to my teacher for her to spell check/grammar check it before I put it on my poster, and she has yet to send it back. Otherwise I would be right on schedule for today. grr..... damn teachers and their procrastination! Lol.

Today I watched Bewitched. People said it sucked, and it kinda did, but I think the idea of the movie was really cool. A witch, pretending to be a normal person, who plays a witch pretending to be a normal person in a t.v. show. Insane! I have to admit, the old bewitched episodes could be funny sometimes.

A Day Of Embarrassment

Today was such an embarrassing day because I had lots of embarrassing moments, which seemed to get worse and worse as the day went on. To start off with, I didn't know an answer in French class when the teacher called on me, so I felt stupid and later realised that I knew the answer. That's not a big deal, but an embarrassing day has to start somewhere! Then latter today I went shopping with Maggie, and while we were on the bus, it suddenly jerked to a stop and I fell backwards a little to steady myself but ended up stepping the the foot of an old lady! (Clearly I am not meant to take public transit!). While at the mall we were in EB Games and I didn't know what a PSP was (I forgot at least), and the guy behind the desk must have thought I was really stupid for not knowing what it was. lol. No matters! We were also in Hallmark, and I asked them if they had any half birthday cards - but the lady didn't understand and thought I meant half of a card. LOL! (BTW - they don't sell them)... I tried to explain what it was, but I think I made a fool of myself. Also, there was a SUPER embarrassing event that happened in another store... but it shall be Maggie and my little secret! *wink*
Ta Ta For Now!

Does hallmark sell half-bday cards?

My friend Ber planted the idea in my head that half bdays were really special. She claims that you deserve presents - although nobody buys people half b-day presents, this means you just have to spoil yourself. I LOVED the idea - obviously, b/c it involves shopping for myself! LOL! So I plan to do lots of shopping Friday night with Maggie. That is if I make it through my midterm in the morning. SCREW ENGLISH! Why can't I take frenglish?!?! I would soooo kick ass at that!

Schedule -
Today I had a midterm
Friday - midterm, then gym, then shopping.
Saturday - work on project (french one which involves a 15 min presentation)
Sunday - Study for Lingustics
Monday - gym, then more studying + form a study group for ling.
Tuesday - Linguistics Midterm + my half bday!!
Wednesday - finishing touches on project + gym
Thursday - present french project
Friday - shopping?

So that's what I'm up to this coming week. I doubt I'll go the gym as often as I plan, and I doubt I'll do as much studying as I plan, but I know i'll do more shopping then I plan. LOL!


P.S. So far this no ice cream thing is going pretty well. :)

Lent! - NO MORE ICE CREAM

Okay, as of today, we are in the church season of lent, which doesn't end until easter. When I lived at home, I always wanted to give something up for lent - which is what you are suppose to do - but I always felt afraid to tell my parents that I wanted to actually participate in something religious. I really can't explain the reasons for this, but it's behind me now - so it doesn't really matter. Anyways, now that I'm on my own, I can actually give something up, and hopefully not forget! I decided to give up ice cream for lent. This is going to be hard, b/c everybody loves ice cream... and Maggie is probably going to tempt me with it... cuz she really seems to love it, but now that she knows that I can't eat ice cream until easter, she hopefully will not.

I just have to remember that I can't eat ice cream for the rest of lent. lol - let's see how long that lasts... anyone wanna place a bet?
