a is for apple, athletic letter

today was a long day. i spent all day on campus. i had lots of class (and i actually went to all of my lectures.. weird for a wednesday) and had a poster presentation. that went okay. the prof wasn't as intimidating as i was expecting and the timbits were key.

i have to tell you something: i was walking to campus. this morning felt like any other morning, except i couldn't turn on the cold water to have a shower (you can't shower in scolding hot water), and i was walking through the jduc on my way to class. i walked by the walkhome kiosk and what do i see? a bundle of golden words that i didn't deliver! oh the joy! and that's when it hit me. i had an extra 3 hours of sleep this morning and i didn't have to nap cause that job is all done. all i'm waiting on is my last paycheque which is waiting for me at engsoc.

i went to the year-end banquet for queen's intramurals today. it was at qp. there was free food, including those little meatballs and cheese and crackers and veggies and fruit and bread and dip. i stuffed my face and then left, but not before getting my athletic letter that i have been so patiently waiting for. it's a giant yellow a. not sure what i'm going to do with it yet. maybe hang it on the hall next to my old hockey adams name bar. we'll see. i get to move soon so maybe when i "decorate" my perma home.

people are talkin'.

so very special, i wish i was special

i have in my hands the special edition of scientific american purchased by my housemate carla. it has all the cool stuff from my geology class last semester in one quick-read magazine. what did i take a 4-month course for again?

some good news from today:
- one more school day done
- group meeting lasted only 3.5 hours
- this time next month i might be sailing in victoria
- it's so warm i broke out big blue
- 24 is back on tonight!

i went to geology lecture this morning for the first time since the midterm. i tried to read a paper and ignore the prof. i just want to know what's on the exam. i don't like her lectures.

i wore my new $5 sweater today. yay for cheap clothes.

ow! ow!

i'm finally done my seminar. i am so happy about that. and after class i was just hanging around and my prof actually offered to write me a letter of recommendation for when i apply to grad school. how sweet is that? i think my jaw actually dropped and hit the floor when the words came out of her mouth.

the other good news i have is that i got a phone call today for a job interview (phone interview no less) for the summer job working at alcatel. hopefully it goes well and i'll have summer employment making the big bucks.

i might be taking a trip. right after i'm done and have moved out of here, jon and i are thinking about going to victoria (with the cats in tow) to see his parents. i'm excited cause i've never been out that way (or the other way for that matter...). we just have to decide how to get there, which flight to take. did i mention that i haven't been on an airplane for 7 years either?

i'm pretty exhausted today. i didn't get much sleep (~4 hours) and have been doing stuff all day. it's almost time for bed. yes, i am a loser.

and that's kamerine in an egg shell

this is the end of the weekend. for me at least. some people are still truckin (GW staffers makin the paper). i'm working on my fighting seminar that i'm presenting tomorrow morning. for some reason i just can't seem to care and get to work. i've been talking to people and wandering around on the internet instead. we have some pictures posted from this weekend. they make me laugh.

so i'll write more later, after my seminar is over.

step into my hair

i missed posting last night because we went to the science fair at clark. it was fun, except when one very drunk judge spilled scotch all over me. that was awesome.

i'll write more at the end of the weekend, earlier if i have time.

>insert cunning title here<

i had one but i lost it. a good title i mean. ah well. i have a good cookie instead.

we went out to qp tonight for brenda's birthday. there was a huge line so we went to clark but they were charging cover so carla and i left.

i finished my paper tonight. it feels weird to have something finished this far in advance (~ 14 hours early). i still have a quiz to finish for tomorrow though.

add a little tail, add a lot of tail

it's wednesday. wordsday. i delivered this morning and got home earlier than usual. i had nothing to worry about really. i even went to mcdonalds and got an egg mcmuffin. i'm SO glad that i won't have to deliver any more papers. i can clean my car out and hopefully get the smell of news print out.

i had a stellar nap today. konked out for a solid 2 and a half hours. and since i put my alarm clock across the room on my desk i'm much more able to get up in the mornings. hitting snooze isn't quite the same cause i have to get up and cross the room and cross the room again to get back to sleep for 9 minutes. is it worth it? short answer: yes!

i read a lot about hilary duff and avril lavigne (thanks to frank). these two popstars aren't pleasant when it comes to each other. why can't we all just get along? i found out today that hillary duff has a new clothing line called... you guessed it: stuff by duff. it's at zellers, along with a really neat chair that i like. it's round.

i'm almost done my fish paper. i have about 300 words left to reach the max then it's editing and printing and handing in time. yahoooo!

screaming silence

i finished my book today. it was really good. the last line was priceless. tied everything together. i love books like that. i'm going to miss it though.. i do everytime i end a good book. i'm left wanting more. and then there's the task of starting a new book, getting to know all new characters. ug. not right now.

right now i have to write me a paper. i've been putting it off and procrastinating tons. i think i've talked on the phone more this week than any other this whole year. i also found out today that i wrote the wrong quiz (aka assignment) for one of my biology classes, so i have to write the correct one for friday. gah!

i can't wait for friday and science fair and then the banquet saturday. i really think this weekend will be a good one. jon and richard are coming to the banquet with me and carla. we're at a table with erika and brenda. i'm looking forward to it.

tomorrow morning is my last papers. i can't wait. dan copped out though.. he wants to sleep in. sleeping in is for the weak, though napping is not. i will definitely be napping tomorrow at some point, though i'm really not sure when.

lobster march

i wanted to post now so i can concentrate on writing my grant proposal. i knew a kid named grant when i was younger. he wasn't very nice to me. seemed like he didn't like girls at all.

my face got burnt today. it's kinda nice cause it feels like it's summer, but it hurts like any old burn hurts.

i just found out this afternoon about another "quiz" (aka take home assignment) in one of my courses. i thought i was through with those damn quizzes. so this week i have a quiz tomorrow morning and my paper due friday by the end of the day. next week i have another quiz, and that "quiz", a poster presentation, my seminar and a dumb little paper due. and i wonder why i want out of here. too much crap.

i really feel like i've made some good decisions in my life. without going on and chancing getting sappy that is all i will say about that.

i'll be here and you'll be there and we'll all scream for ice cream.

spontaneity in its place

i made myself a list today. well more of a timeline. the things i have to get done this week. it isn't very quantiful, but it is qualiful. i'm making up words.

i worked on my paper and my acquiring notes from people today, and i dropped by engsoc to talk to people. i got to meet (again, cause i have worked with her at the pec) the new distro chick, noelle. i showed her where to park and where the papers would be wednesday and told her to get some mitts and some scissors cause she'll be needing those. wednesday morning will probably be one of the slowest distro days of the year. but my last one and, as dan can tell you, i've been looking forward to this day for a LONG time.

riz posted a fun picture.

i would like to point out that as of tomorrow i have exactly one month of school left.

just keep swimming swimming swimming

we just watched monsters, inc and finding nemo and all the extras (well not all but lots of them). i'm exhausted which is nice. earlier tonight i tried to go to the dance show but they were all sold out. i really didn't have a very exciting day today. my plan of getting people in my class to send me notes (from lectures i missed) is coming to fruition. it's great just sitting here and having people hand me notes. i should do this more often.

meet you on the other side

pin the (weewee)

i went to a bacholorette party tonight for meileen. carla and i went to highschool with her. it was fun.. a little strange but fun. meileen and martin are getting married this august.

i didn't have a productive day. i slept through my first two classes but made the third. then i went and checked the plants in the greenhouse but i couldn't handle the sauna atmosphere. i hung out in biosci for a while. did the journal crossword, read two articles, scored some free pizza and talked to jane.

just watched robin hood, the disney one. it was great. they included a short film in the dvd. it made me laugh so hard.

shopping for squirrels

what a day. trina and kristina picked me up at 12:30 and we went to syracuse for the day. amazing how exhausting that was. some good times though. me, i'm not all about the bright pink pointy toed shoes though. definitely not my style, if i even have a style really.

back to classes tomorrow. geology and plants for people might actually be graced by my presence.

st. patrick's damselflies and electric fish

i'm heading off to syracuse tomorrow. random road trip. i'm really excited about it. the trade-off was staying in tonight though. so i've been trying to read papers for my grant proposal. it's not going so well, but i still have over a week to write the paper, and i've already made headway into my seminar.

i'm finding it harder and harder to concentrate these days. for random reasons too.. it's not like it's nice outside or anything.

i have to report that the cat that followed me home wasn't still outside after my nap so i'm assuming it went home. part of me wanted to see it there when i got up. i was already thinking of names (rock was in the lead). ah well. maybe i'll invest in another fish to kill... i mean love. another fish to love and keep alive... for a week. me and fishes. we don't get along so well.

baby please don't go

and the cat came back

a cat followed me almost all the way to school this morning, and then home again. i considered bringing it inside but i figured that since it's the middle of the day it probably isn't homeless. if it's still around tonight then i'll call the humane society.

martinis on me

went out tonight to gustos with my hockey team. it was good but strange cause we didn't really know a lot about each other. it was a little like frosh week, though much less drunk, with the "so what program are you in again? .. oh right" and "what are you doing next year?". it was good times though. i had pizza.

i have to do papers tomorrow morning (i hope you're happy dick) and it isn't the last time ever. we have to show the new people around next week. all i can say is that it better not snow tonight/tomorrow morning.

13 days left of schooooooliooooollll!

stinging jellyfish

do you ever find that your computer screen is just too bright? it hurts and it burns, yet you can't look away.

me neither.

except right now.

i went to both my classes today. that's a good day. i also got done the things i wanted to get done. i still have lots of work to do on my fighting seminar and my electric fish paper. but that will come in time.

much progress was made today in wedding planning. and it totally wasn't me. pat jon on the back next time you see him. [see wedding page for updates.]

14 more days of school!

i lied

i stayed up and ate aeroroots and read some more.

cookie monster

i'm hungry. i just brushed my teeth so i'm going to go to bed hungry instead of eating. my own damn fault.

i think i had a productive day. i read a lot about fighting, which is the topic of my seminar in 2 weeks, and some about begging cause i have a quiz on that on wednesday. i already finished my geology assignment for tomorrow, a couple of days ago actually.

i broke out my bike today. daffy needs some air in the back tire, but she survived the winter in my closet well. it's still too cold to bike and not freeze though.

i stopped by gw to see richard in action. it was definitely a zoo in there. kelly gave me a cookie. i've tried to quit but i just couldn't resist.

today was my third sunday in a row due to my going home in the middle of the week. it was such a bonus day. don't you love those days? am i bragging? i'm not trying to brag.

so tomorrow holds a seminar in the morning and a lecture in the afternoon. i don't know what else i'll do, except eat some food and maybe get groceries so i can eat some more food. maybe even cookies. mmm cookies.

15 more days of school... ever!

bikes come out easy

bikes come out of the closet much easier than they went in.. and they go down the stairs much easier than they came up.

another day come and gone

well here i am. it's late and i'm going to go to bed soon. i had an okay day. i wasn't feeling so well early on but the day picked up eventually. i got some work done on my seminar and i went to walmart with carla. i bought a couple dvds and some wool. carla and dick watched the waterboy while i showered and worked. all in all a good day.

since i was in ottawa wednesday night thru friday morning yesterday felt like sunday and today felt like sunday and tomorrow is sunday. i'm spoiled.. all these sundays in a row. it's kinda good though cause i got my work done for monday on sunday #1 (friday).

that's my story.

i'm learning more new things about stuff. richard helped me get the titles of the posts to show up, and get a comment link after each post. thanks dick!

first post!

Welcome to my new blog. I was tempted and I gave in. I want to be like everyone else who no longer has a site, but who has a blog.
