IT'S SPRING BABY!!

Stress is reduced. Spring is here and I feel so much better. Petty drama seems to fall away with the rebirth of spring. New chances, new opportunities. It's honestly such nice weather today. I took advantage of it this morning to go her groceries... I even went to the farther away grocery store (OMG!). When I got home I worked on my English presentation a bit and went to the group meeting. I think our presentation will be boring but everything the teacher expects. Hope we do well! It's really my only stresser right now. Anyways, as soon as that ended I called Heather and we went for a nice walk in the awesome weather. I hope it continues to be nice out... even though the forcast isn't as optimistic. I don't care. I have hope. I'll take anything but snow! lol. Man, I really love spring... and really hate winter! I honestly feel like a different person... like I have escaped the heavy cloud or something like that. Dunno. I hope this keeps up! TTYL

It's an effort.

I can't believe the end of the semester is so close. In most of my courses I have only one (major) assignment left before the exam... which include two oral presentations and one history paper... plus some slightly less heavy stuff like text translations and journals. Of course this means that exams are coming up way too soon, but I don't seem to mind so much this time. Two of them are take homes so I really don't have all that much studying to do... right? I suppose that is a bad mind set to have. Anyways, things are really boring around here. The drama is getting to me a bit, but I hope that problem is eventually get solved. I'm not going to lie, I could use some good cheering up right now. I feel a little down and I don't know why. Maybe because I don't have a good summer to look forward to, or because teachers seem out to get me. This one teacher threaten to lower my grade on an assignment because I don't talk enough in class (comparing me to the other students)... but that's just not cool because we are all different and she can't tell that I am really making an effort to participate. Honestly if I speak once in class that's already a huge effort on my part. Sometimes I don't have anything to say, especially when we are taking about current events because I have a serious lack of knowledge in that area... so what am I suppose to do? Last class I asked two questions, and if she can't tell that that is a huge effort I don't know what else I can do!! GGRRRRRR!!!
Anyways, nothing more to say... just don't let me down.

Twitter Syncing

For your own personal enjoyment, I have added twitter updates to my blog... so now you can read what I tweet if you don't have me on Twitter. lol. Super lame, I know. Please, it's not like I update one of these more than another, but oh well, syncing is good, right? If this starts to get creepy I'll have to fix that... but I'm still pretty impressed with my handy work. lol.

I actually made food... wow.

Although not often spoken of, I pretty much can't actually make food. I mean real "home cooking" style meals. I have no concept of this type of food production. So I freaked out a bit when I had to come up with something interesting to make for Heather's potluck tonight. Jenn came to my rescue with an awesome salad idea. I spend yesterday baking cookies (three kinds that revolve around an oreo theme) with Jenn, and then today we put our salad together. Now we are getting ready to go out and play games at Heather's! I have add a purple headband to my outfit and don't really know what else to do to my hair.
Anyways, things are good. I spend some productive time in the library this afternoon and found a very helpful book. Now I just need to find the motivation to work on the essay. Stupid history course. lol.

New Hair Color

Weekend:
Friday - Went over to Heather's house, then went shopping downtown and at the mall with Heather and Jenn. Probably did homework after, but I don't remember.
Saturday - Homework then baking with Heather. We made a coffee cake and some sugar cookies. The cake was lemon zesty and upside down... but in good ways! lol. And the cookies were suppose to be ducks and sheep (spring themed) but they grew when cooked them in the oven... so they turned out to be more like turkeys and clouds... lol. We also made racially diverse boy and girl cookies (some were more burned than others....) ha ha! Oh!! AND Heather died my hair that day too! lol... It was suppose to be a chestnut color, but it turned out more light brown with reddish tints. It looks pretty dark in this picture, but some people tell me it looks kind of strawberry blonde (which I don't agree with btw).
Sunday - Little homework then Jenn and I spent a while getting ready to go to Heather's tea party. We hot all dressed up and went over to drink tea and have intellectual conversation.

This week:
Monday - My history seems to be getting better (health wise) because he didn't seem like he was going to die during the lecture. Then I went to English class and had to sit through presentations for three hours. OMG! Anyways, we also got our midterm essays back (I wrote it before I went home for reading week) and I'm so freaking excited that I got a 95% on it! When he handed it back to me he even commented on it's amazingness. Thing is, I'm not an awesome English writer, but apparently he likes my thoughts... or my ability to regurgitate his theories back to him. lol.
Tuesday - Super boring class. Lots of reading. Mail came and I found out that I passed a french competency test that I had been stressing out over back in January. I not only passed... but I must have done very well because I do not need to take an extra course if I decided to go to teacher's college to improve my french.
Let's see what other goodness will come of this week. CELEBRATE!
