Craziness

Hey,
Sorry being home I figured I would have more time to blog however, its been fairly busy I am working for the golf course so I have picked up a few shifts there with Christmas parties and the Santa Brunch and babysitting. Also, last Thursday I donated blood and went ill, well, I got pale and faint. I had to stay for an extra 45 mins so they could make sure I was ok... I am fine I am happy to report -- I still think everyone should donate blood, I will again.

I also, regret to say that this year I am totally off the ball, and have done absolutely NO Christmas shopping whatsoever, better get on that only 10 days left - WAIT! make that 9 since technically its well after midnight and thus the 16th but I have yet to go to bed. Usually I am done my shopping well before this point and feel very disorganized and have felt in a haze since I got home ...

Hope everyone is more prepared for the holiday season than myself! Here's a little video to help get you in the holiday spirit! Santa Baby is one of my favourite Christmas tunes:

Hope you enjoy it as well.

Exam Update

Hey everyone,

I hope everyones exams are going well, for all those who are in school. And for those lucky people who aren't be thankful ... for a short time because my finals are finished on Thursday and then I am free for a month! How many people get a month of Christmas vacation? not too may that is for sure; this year I am one of the lucky ones. Hope everyone is getting into the holiday spirit. I will come Thursday.

Well, my exams are going sort of well. My take home for ecology of fish went pretty good, and I was pretty psyched walking out of my psychology exam (no pun intended)! Tomorrow morning is geography - wish me luck! I feel as though I am going to need a miracle to get through geography (30%) and then my sociology exam (50%) which is Thursday morning. Well, I am off to bed to get a good sleep, then up early for review and off to the final!

here's to making it through the next 38 hours alive!

Positive thinking!! Lets hope it works!

I know I can, I know I can! hahaha

loves to all!

Something to Think About - Heartbreak

Getting over the heartbreak

"Someday you will cry for me like I cried for you.
Someday you will miss me like I missed you,
you'll need me like I needed you and
someday you'll love me
but I wont love you."

Just a little quote to keep you thinking ... exam time ... sorry about the lack of posts I promise to be better next week :)
The last week of school, finishing all the assignments was stressful but we had an end of classes party last night. It was fun but now must start/finish my take home exam and study for my final tomorrow night - wish me luck :)

HEY! Pay Attention its I-Week!

Hey all,

This is the craziest and most fin and exciting few weeks of my life ever, it kicked off with the 11th Annual IBChi Sorority Ball :D - good times and bonding with all my sisters - special love goes out to V! and K and her new baby boy! :D



pictured: all sisters (and soon-to-be sisters) with our Cutie Pie
(the ball was Saturday)


Monday was the day of Charm (Philanthropy - I am so proud of the pledges they collected donated lots of wonderful things to the women's shelter)
Tuesday the pledges put on such an awesome social / fundraiser :D
Today is the Day of Joy and Friday is the Day of Beauty and Saturday is the final steps for the pledges :D good luck to them all.

so my life seems a little glamorous at the moment, hanging out with my sisters, bonding and watching movies and eating popcorn well reality check into the rest of my life -------

School is insane by Friday I have to - write a psychology paper, do a presentation with a written report, catalog and organize my lab book for fish ecology oh and make it to the Lifting of the skirts by 7 .... thus the insanity of this week is here. However, my insanity hopes to be short lived, relaxing on Sunday - but I also have a presentation for the following Thursday good thing is its a group project so the work is divided! ... hypothetically right? I know that's what you are thinking and my answer is YES it is! My group kicks butt! We work well together. :D
Loves

oh and I have decided to start temporarily compile memoirs we will see how long it lasts

seeing as how finals start december 1st

However, I will be done quickly since only 3 of classes have official finals so I will be flying home on the 5th - WOOT!!

you know you love me and my craziness,

So, blogging is difficult with all my school work, however, I fear it may become worse in the winter semester with three full biology courses.
So to get everything up to date, my life is going fairly well, of course there is the stress of school and planning the philanthropy events for the sorority. Also, some fun news for a fundraising we are creating a calendar we had the photo shoot this past weekend, it was lots of fun. Good bonding time with my sisters.
School has been good for the most part I am doing well on my assignments and tests. My exams will be finished super early thus since family Christmas which is very exciting since I haven't been in attendance for three years. So I off to book a flight home this afternoon after class.
The only bad part is at the moment is that I am unemployed. I feel as though I have been searching for a job for EVER! Although, for the holidays I hope to pick up some banquet shifts once home. I'll keep you posted.
Anyways, I hope to do better to update.

Crazy Hectic Life ... Some Good Some Bad

Howdy Cowgirls and Cowboys

Well, let me tell you my story ...
Last week was insane I tell you ... as if I don't have enough school they just add more! It was insanity I tell you; all on top of which I need to find a job, an actual job seeing as how my great whenever job has turned into a never again job :(
So I had 2 midterms, an essay, tonnes of lab work, and a take-home midterm! The take-home isn't due until Tuesday however, that kind of ruins the whole chillaxin lazy long turkey day weekend that I had in mind. Plus, I have another test next week :P geography ... not thinking it will be too difficult except the memorizing of all the countries of Africa on top of the information covered. - oh that will be so EASY! hahaha
*going insane*

However, I have managed thus far to barely do my take-home, but instead rather Friday evening was spent at early happy hour at King's with my roomie R and her friend K who got us in - (its a totally hush hush type deal) OOPS! I spilled the beans lol
Then came Saturday .. which is in fact yesterday! I slept in, watched Halloween movies, then headed to Peggy's Cove with my A!! However, as it seems to always go with us we never reached our destination!
We saw the fall fair was going on, complete with a midway! So what do we do? Turn off! - Of course! Was there ever any doubt? I don't think so! hahaha We watched the barrel racing which was awesome only a couple guys knocked over barrels
We did the rides, each got a bag of free cookies - the good chocolate chip ones :D
Had yummy greasy fair food burgers, hot dogs, and poutine! Did some more rides, all the crazy nauseating ones of course!

Then of course no fall fair is complete without cotton candy! Cotton Candy defines fall fairs - so you know there is a law, ( I INSTATED IT MYSELF as princess ) that one must not go to a fall fair or any similar place without purchasing the pink and blue greatness that is cotton candy!

Anyways, tonight I am off with ma ladies to the Carrie Underwood Concert that I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for ALL summer --- no joke! So I need to go! See ya around y'all!

10 Reasons it's Great to be Single
Nix the relationships and dating! ELLE gives you 10 reasons why it's fabulous to be on your own!
by Natalie Bahadur
In an old episode of the much-loved television series Sex and the City, four single Manhattan girls bemoaned the loss of their SSB, once they were in a relationship. Can't quite recall the episode? Well, SSB was code for Secret Single Behaviour. You know ... that stuff you do as a single that you would never want your guy to witness?
Carrie mourned the loss of being able to stand in her kitchen in her underwear eating stacks of saltines, while Miranda's secret behaviour involved hand lotion, gloves and infomercials. While many women might choose to sacrifice their behind-closed-doors-only behaviour, in order to find eternal bliss (ahem!) with Mr. Right, there are others who aren't so sure. Maybe being free to do what you want, when you want, just isn't so bad at all! Don't believe us?
Here are 10 reasons it's great to be single:
10. Your shoe inventory is nobody's business but your ownSeriously, do you realize how much a full-time partner would complain about your shoe collection? Using words like "outrageous", "excessive" and "unnecessary". Really, do you need to hear your treasured possessions maligned this way? No. No you don't.
9. The only mess in your home is your own mess!Picking up after a man is a sure way to kill the romance. Dirty socks and tossed aside t-shirts are just not your problem. If you're cleaning up a mess, at least it's your mess and you only have yourself to blame for the clutter.
8. Trust us; you'll have peace of mindWhether you're in a brand new, shiny relationship or one that's reached a comfort level that involves sweats and popcorn on a Saturday night, interpreting the foreign language of men is always a constant. Being single means never having to say, "I wonder what he meant when he said ... "
7. Any night is girls' nightIf you want to get all dolled up and hit the town with your friends, or whether you want to throw open the doors to your home to host an all-night girls night (complete of course with wine and witty banter), you can do so any night, without having to check in with you-know-who.
6. You don't have to deal with in-laws. You love your own parents but even they can drive you around the bend sometimes. When you're in a relationship, it just means two sets of parents who can annoy, aggravate, infuriate and irritate you. Who needs that? Your own parents do the job just fine.
5. It's all about you, all the time. That about sums it up. You can do what you want, go where you want, eat what you want, wear what you want, sleep in when you want, get up when you want, shop where you want ... the list goes on and on, but you get the point!
4. That big, comfortable bed is ALL yoursSure, it's nice to snuggle from time to time, but really, when you get into bed, isn't it better to be able to stretch out and really, truly relax without the worry of getting booted off in the middle of the night by a wayward arm? Or waking up in the middle of the night with teeth chattering as you fumble blindly for your fair share of the blankets? Sleep is precious, ladies! Reclaim what's rightfully yours!
3. Birthdays and special occasions will never be forgotten. You needn't spend another birthday or Valentine's Day wondering whether he'll remember or convincing yourself that his forgetfulness doesn't translate into thoughtlessness.
2. Your entertainment options will always be entertaining to youThis means that you don't have to spend another Saturday night watching some stupid space movie or another Monday night watching grown men run across a field for 2 seconds with a ball, drop it, then run for another 2 seconds, drop it ... yes, we're talking about Monday Night Football.

And the number one reason it's great to be single?

1. Independence: That's hot!Instead of falling into a relationship just because that's what you think you should do, embrace your singlehood and just do it all for yourself. Whether it's paying down debt or buying a new home, take pride in your solo accomplishments.

Heroes

Hey,
I love TV, however, my favourite shows usually end up cancelled because I always pick winners! Anyways, not the point of this blog .. maybe another time!
The reason for this blog is to discuss the third season being here - finally - HEROES!
\
There are some spoilers sorry ... watch the episodes first before reading! Feel free to let me know what your opinions of the story lines are!

*****SPOILER ALERT *****

So, last night, Monday was the season premiere of Heroes - for 2 hours! They played two episodes which was awesome!! OK so this is what I THINK!!!



Claire Bennet
- the cheerleader - "save the cheerleader, save the world" from season 1 she can spontaneously regenerate - Sylar came and cut her head open "takes her power" and she is confused when she isn't dead yet - she cannot die! Later, she discovers she can no longer pain - the only thing that kept her feeling human - Since this wasn't part of the future that was supposed to happen ... will it be undone? If not, what will happen to Claire?

-played by Hayden Panettiere

bad versus good ??

OR

future versus present??

Noah Bennet
-(Claire's adoptive dad) has been being held captive on Level 5
- without powers, Elle sort of lets him go when she discovers her father is dead - Sylar - now he locks Sylar up in Level 5 however, Elle lets the other evils down there free so Noah is off to "recapture" them





Elle Bishop



-generate and manipulate electricity - a little off her rocker but understandably so - she accidentally allows the evils from level 5 lose and thus their escape! You are never really sure if she is on the good team or the evil team or a double agent or what!?!?!



-She is played by Kirsten Bell who I also LOVE from way back when - Veronica Mars!











Hiro and Ando
- Hiro can manipulate time and space

and Ando has no super powers or "abilities"

- they are protecting half of the "formula"
- not sure if I really like this story line; the new super fast chick is kinda cool though
-once it intermingles I am sure it will get better

Angela

- she can see the future yet she doesn't seem to do anything about it except blame Peter for messing it up and changing it

Nathan
- he can fly and now he has found God?? I am a little confused by this story line and the way Nikki or Jessica or Tracy may or may not intersect


Peter
- future Peter sure has a chip on his shoulder - I wonder what happened to him - differentiated by the scar on his face
-present-day Peter was locked up inside Jesse - an evil powered guy on level 5 that escaped and is now a fugitive whose power we are unaware of ... what could it be? what is so evil that Noah couldn't tell Claire??

Mohinder (and Maya)
-never really been my favourite story line ... but things certainly are heating up

Matt Parkman
- he can read people's minds and manipulate them as well
-where is Molly Walker?

Nikki Saunders or Jessica Saunders

or Tracy Strauss

-what is up with the new power?
and where is Micah and Monica?


Sylar

-evil, he had no power until he started killing people and taking them from others he is extremely powerful; even more so now having Claire's ability for regeneration ...
-we find he may be Angela's other son? what is that about?
- but in the stay tuned for next week clips he begins to work for the company? and becomes Noah's partner?


You know you love Heroes,

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
