Home 4 the Summer

So, after a three day trek, I have made it home once again for the summer.

Mom and Dad both came out to get me this year! Jess, Joe, mom and dad and I all went out for dinner before we left! And mom brought pie from the place with the giant apple! They were yummy! My roommies definitely thought it was awesome!

Anyways, better get to the unpacking, and the starting of work, and the visiting of people. :)

Largest Blog Update of LIfe

Hey everyone,

I apologize for neglecting my blog ... its been a crazy 2 weeks. First I made it to school, so the great trek is over for another 8 months. However, I have been 'blogging' I just either haven't had Internet or time or both to post. So this will be one monumental huge post about lots of things

The Great Trek

So we finally got out on the road for the trip to school! We left Saturday afternoon .. around 1pm. So I have been typing my blog out and will post once I get to my new apartment. Since I need the hot spot time to check my email and facebook of course. As well as check the online maps because someone forgot the triptik *cough*DAD*cough*


Day 1 - Saturday

We drove .... meanwhile I read, listened to my ipod and played on my new laptop ... oh yes the reason we did not get to leave as scheduled. Also, I am putting a shout out to Kat and Scott who are getting married today!! As I wish them all the best!

Day 2 - Sunday

There is move driving we finally stopped at a truck stop with free wireless and I was going to post this blog so far however, my battery was running low due to the fact that I was playing lots of chess earlier trying to gain back the skill I seemingly lost since I stopped playing.... because the only person who would play with me was Stephie and so I taught her how to play; then she continually beat through the course of about 4 months til I decided that was enough ...
I was chatting on facebook to Cait who is heading this way as well (she is going to the same school as me now ... for graduate studies). However, she is about half a day behind us since she had to work last night.

Day 3 - Monday

Some more driving ... in cruddy weather its cold and rainy and it sucks!! Stopped at a hot spot a little while ago but I couldn't get it working until like 3 minutes before we were leaving. So yeah totally pointless!! However, mom got cinnamon buns. :D
Despite the crud weather, I am excited since today is the day that I get to move into my new apartment, with new people who are seemingly pretty awesome. There are so many things to do when I get back its insane!
Most of my friends have already got all kinds of things all planned ... margarita Monday, apartment crawl, and of course .... GREEK OLYMPICS!!
Well now its pouring rain as we cross the border into NS!!! Darn Atlantic province!! Well what to do in the rain ... read ... nothing better than keeping warm and reading a good book!

Moving in ...
Moving in was an insane process; the previous tenants were not out on time. Had to paint my walls, move my stuff in. My room is still messy but its getting better. Slowly ... very slowly!!

Well the margarita Monday was fun, the apartment crawl was cancelled and Greek Olympics was good ... I went for the morning events - I had to work at 3:30pm!! Anyways, we won't know who won until the Greek Ball.
Oh yes and work, its crazy this year Audrey has a new job and needs me from 3:30 til around midnight!! All that and ...

Classes have started and things are already pretty crazy. I have 2 fourth year biology's, a geography, an intro to sociology and forensic psychology. Lots of reading and studying to do! I am off to the library now to hopefully get a start on all the work I have to do! Since I missed my class this morning. :P

The Great Trek

Today is the day ... or it was supposed to be that I would be leaving for the great trek!
However, problem after problem just so happen to occur TODAY! So what happened? you say, well let me tell you!
Well, this morning I worked in the Grill, which isn't a problem really since I told my manager I would work this morning. However, some of my favourite members came in for lunch today just as I was leaving so then I stopped to chat for a bit of course, so I didn't really leave as early as possible. Then of course saying goodbye to all the other servers! And my supervisors, the chefs, and of course the ladies in the office!!
However, while I was at work my dad had been trying to fix my computer, however, to no avail - its pretty much dead ... at least that's what I figure. My dad is going to ask my uncle to take a look at it later. Though, I still need a computer for school!! So, then dad and I had to go and buy me a new one, I had been planning on getting a laptop anyways but I had not planned on it being my main computer, it was supposed to be like for "school" and then I was going to use my desktop for personal ... so to hold my music, movies, and games.
Since I got my computer from a local store ... not a chain ... my computer will not be ready until tomorrow; so we will head out by tomorrow my noon.
Then of course, there's the fact that I still wasn't packed!! There is that fact, of course and the fact that I have WAY TOO much stuff!! Not too much stuff I say, just not a minimalist lifestyle that would be more accommodating for moving cross-country twice a year! I ask you ... Can you only life with 3 pairs of jeans? A few tops? A couple sweaters? 1 pair of shoes, sandals, and boots; EACH?

I DO NOT THINK SO!!

I am joking ... sort of. I am sure there are people like that out there, and no offence is meant ... I just have no idea -- ABSOLUTELY NONE -- how it can possibly be done! I would never be able to live like that; I am sure I could do better but lets not think of that. I enjoy my materialistic ways .. for now.

On another note, the next couple days is MY vacation time; so I am going to enjoy it, relax, read, and maybe do a few sudoku puzzles.

enjoy your LAST long weekend!! :D
you know you love me,
xoxo

My Weekend Off

Hello again!

I had booked this weekend off because it was my uncle's wedding and I didn't want to miss it!! I got both Saturday and Sunday off as well as today (Monday)! The ceremony was outside by the lake and it was absolutely gorgeous!! Whitney (now my aunt :D) looked absolutely amazing! My dad drove the bridal party to the location in his '62 red Invicta Buick!! I took quite a few pictures with my new camera! (Dad gave it to me) I'll be posting them on facebook soon! The dance was not a formal one which was awesome no boring speeches just food, booze, and dancing and lots of fun!!!!
Sunday was spent relaxing reading and watching movies as well as some organizing ... more of which I am doing today -- I leave to go across country for school on Friday!!!
Today, I watched the Sigmund Freud biography which was really interesting lol ... I know I'm a geek!! Now I am blogging to avoid packing!! Although, I am slowly running out of interesting tidbits to write about thus I must sign off and get back to my life or rather packing it up and moving it yet again ... for another two years this moving craziness will continue!! The great trek to and from home and school!! I can't wait for it to be all over! However, if I am gonna go on to do my Masters it will be more moving, however, no longer will I be looking do far away from home!

getting back to the 'real' world,
you know you love me,
xoxo,

Life continues ...

Hi there

So my life continues the endless days of working at the golf course; its not that bad today I should say I made great tips and am extremely excited about it since I can now pay my mom back for the jewelry she put on her credit card for me. I am not sure if I mentioned the jewelry party it was a while ago now. It was put on by a neighbour down the street by a company called SILPADA; I got a neat pair of earings and a garnet ring set (3 rings that you can wear together or sparately or in any combination really). I really love them and for once I think I will enjoy wearing rings > not to work at the moment ... would ruin them! lol
Also, my birthday passed as you know but I got to open my presents and it was awesome and exchanged presents with my friend Jo last night (she made me chocolates as part of my present which I am eating right now!) and went and saw The Dark Knight. It was awesome .
Anyways, thanks to all for the great gifts!
Monday was the civic holiday and my mom and I took my grandma shopping, it was seniors day shopping at Zellers. My grandma loves to go shopping; me too! lol Afterwards mom took us to lunch at Arby's ... one of my favourite fastfood joints in town.
My mom and I then started the wonderful task of starting to organize my stuff for my great trek cross-country for school. Since I had tuesday off I continued it and made it worse.
BUT ...

its always darkest before the dawn!!

So tonight, maybe I may continue the packing ... so far i have made a dent, a small one, but none the less I will not tarnish my progress!! lol
Anyways, I need to blog for 101 in 1001 since I have seriously neglected it then I think it'll be back to the packing and sleeping :)

so long,
you know you love me,
xoxo
