So, when I was moving here - I was thinking everything would go smoothly - an easy transition, HA! Well, first off I was thinking I have it made - I got a transfer from the store from which I was working at in Halifax. How wrong was I - this new manager lady is the most difficult lady on the planet to track down.
First, she is not in the day I call, then she is on vacation, then oh she should be in later today, then when I am finally able to talk to her and confirm her existence - she is just TOO busy to talk to me about anything. So when I finally am put on the schedule it is for a day I told her (long ago I might add) that I was not available - mainly because I had class from 9am til 2pm! So she books me for 930am - 430pm shift!! Her excuse was she had "accidentally" or "mistakenly" must have deleted my email.
So, here I am all moved back to Ontario! I went to the hometown for a few days, then went off to the U S of A for roller-coasters, shopping and girl time.
So on this long Labour Day weekend I have been moving my stuff into my new 'apartment', my bedroom is very small but the rest are all so large, guess I lost the draw of straws. I just wish the weather was nicer instead of all this rain and gray skies. It just doesn't work for me.
I know I need to go to the store to get some stuff but just do not have the energy to do much of anything. Oh well I will leave my room eventually....
Today has been crazy! But, crazy in a good way. I was able to pick up a shift (3 hours) but nonetheless hours! Then I came home for a phone interview but forgot the time change so had to wait an hour!!!
hahaha
But then since I feel it went so well. I settled in for a little snack time :)
So I had the best snack ever, (with healthy twist -- whole wheat bread)

I had De Ruijter's Vruchtenhagel!!
This is the greatest treat ever, I was able to get some after years without!
My wonderful boyfriend took me to a little dutch shop up in Lawerancetown to get another treat but I also got this!!!! :D
Isn't he sweet??
So I also decided since I have been unable to enjoy this for LIKE ever!!! I thought the whole world would wonder in the marvel of me eating and enjoying it's sweet delicious-ness!!!
I never realized how much I enjoyed coming home to a home with central air conditioning. Without it I am literally melting in this extreme heat! Thankfully I have an oscillating fan so it sort of cools my room. I just wish there was more breezes passing by; and go in my window.
I am now coming to you as an official university graduate! :) I have my Bachelors degree in Science so I now have letters that follow my name. How cool is that? Pretty fabulously awesome if I say so.
My last semester of my first degree is almost to an end. YAY! How exciting is that?
Just need to get through these last few weeks and then a whole new batch of stress can set in. Because as it stands there is simply too much stress in my life! Why is it that when things happen they happen all at once?
So classes have started and getting into the swing of things - reduced my availability at work.
Now I just need to get my room organized and clean so I can get to the studies ... but I am happy to say I have a good start. I have started the readings for one of my classes - granted it is my english class but nonetheless! I am reading the textbook NOT the novel ... YET! lol :)
anyways off to bed - I have early classes every day this semester ... sad but nice ... I am ... sort of ... enjoying it. I think I may be becoming a morning person! *gulp*
Cheers to the new year! Here's to wishing everyone all the best in 2010!
I hope everyone is sticking to their new years resolutions if you do that sort of thing.
Personally, I do NOT! This is mainly because I find it hard to start the year off right, although it is good incentive, I have decided to attempt to live every day buy itself. Its a difficult thing. But I am attempting to let the past be in the past.
Things happen, choices are made, people are hurt and things cannot be unsaid and undid, but you CAN choose to move past it. Since not everyone is meant to remain in your life forever. Some people are meant to only be in your life for a class, year, or a lifetime.
I love that quote or sentiment.
And, on a lighter note, there is going to be a sequel to Sex and the City The Movie - Sex and the City 2
Who is EXCITED?
ME!
well of course, I have loved the show and the first movie so why not the 2nd?
Here's a look at the trailer, but of course...
NOTE: to all those who dislike the Sex and the City series and movies, just have not realized its greatness and are in need of something epic! (haha) ;)
LOVES!
So mark the date in your calendars ladiies! MAY 28th ... boys you're going to have to make other plans!
Happy Holidays everyone! I know Christmas was yesterday but its never too late to spread a little holiday cheer. I have had a busy time whilst being at home since I am not here for long - as I leave tonight! It is a crazy whirlwind of stuff ... but lately most of life is looking good. Its always difficult to see the good when there is bad, but try to let the good count for more than the bad. Because in the end, that's what should really matter.
Plus, with the new year just around the corner it is a good time to be thinking of changes and changing. So out with the bad and the terrible and in with the good and glorious.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and best wishes in the new year.
So I had a nice little week of "pure hell" last week. A final lecture exam on Tuesday followed by a midterm on Thursday as well as a formal lab due and a final lab exam on Friday.
All of this was followed by my own pity party on Friday with a lovely little bottle of wine.
Little Black Dress Chardonnay
Then finished off the week with FSTS ... the final initiation for the pledges (now new sisters) of Iota Beta Chi
I have booked my flight home for the holidays. :D
you know you love me
xoxo,
S
Just a note: If Chardonnay isn't your cup of tea, Little Black Dress also makes an amazing pinot grigio. I have personally never had the merlot ... mainly because as those of you who know me know - I do NOT drink red wine!
PS. Drinking wine is does NOT count as to real "drinking" of alchol - I KNOW this because my mom taught me so.
So, I worked from 7am til 4pm today... and it was good - my feet hurt which is in part my own fault for wearing my boots ... probably wont DO that again!! Wear the boots for a nine hour shift that is!
anyways it wasnt a terrible shift ... it didnt feel overly long or anything - it was pretty busy! Well it was a holiday special in the mall which of course we (by "we" I mean the store at which I work - The GAP) participated!
20% most everything in the store!
Some people went a little crazed but it was fun!
I am now having a nap before the fundraiser for tonight! IBX is hosting a candy necklace fundraiser in which we sell candy necklaces in one of the local bars :)
Its going to be a good time :)
There are lots of new fun things in my life at the moment :)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!
and you are just going to have to read my post to know what they are!!! muahahahaha
<- thats my evil laugh ;)
One of my roommates moved out :(
But we got a new roommate to join the Roomie love fun!
:)
Also, we have a new pledge class for Iota Beta Chi! :) 6 new pledges plus I am Big Sister!!
My Little Sister's name is Julie and she is absolutely hilarious!
Also, there is still more news! I got a new job - NO MORE CALL CENTRE for me!
This week I start at the GAP! clothes, clothes and more clothes!!!
Oh, and on thanksgiving weekend I attended a fundraiser for Kings Soccer and I met a guy who I have been seeing for the last couple weeks and it has been going well.
For the month of October my new artist is Sarah Buxton with her song Outside my Window!
But my new favourite song is by Miranda Lambert "Gunpowder and Lead"
however, unfortunately there is no video on youtube.com that I could embed into my post so you will just have to click the link. :)
So today my roommates and I had our thanksgiving dinner. It was a very delicious meal. And, what might you ask yourself do poor, destitute students have for thanksgiving you may ask yourself?
Well I am here to tell you!
Why, Thanksgiving Pizza of course!
The perfect blend of gravy, chicken, stuffing, and 2 cheeses (cheddar and mozzarella)!
I found this icon, and I happen to believe it suits my blog quite nicely!
Well, here on the east coast the weather is as different as you and I! Yesterday it went from cloudy, to a drizzle, to a downpour (of course right as I had to leave my lab and walk home). Then as two of my roommies and I went to the Seahorse it turned into a nice, cool evening! Then today - its warm and sunny and beautiful!!!
So today, my roommate, C (she is the new one that moved in in september) and I went to the mall and to the food store!
At the mall I found sunglasses (2 for 10$) since Allie broke mine over the long weekend on the lake! But its o.k. cause my new ones are HOT STUFF!! >>>>
And since they were having such an awesome sale day ... I also got myself a necklace and I got Allies Christmas present! I am SO going to be prepared!
Then we went on to M&Ms - they has some stuff on sale AND it was a Scratch and Save Day! We both only saved 5% though which isn't too bad but not great! Oh well!
Then, we got home and Nikki was here and all of us (me and my roommies) went downstairs for coffee ... the joys of living above a coffee shop ...
Nikki will hopefully be moving in October 1st as Mason will be leaving ... so this will be fun and exciting changes ... I am not too worried about the change she seems really sweet and is nice ... and we have the same size feet ... so we can share shoes WOOT!!
So here's to everything working out! *cheers*
A little song by Cobra Starship 'Good Girls go Bad' on the album Hot Mess ... they are pretty decent; awesome dancing / club-type music! Its not the video just the song with the album cover but the song is awesome quality!!! And that is what counts!
I have to get to studying - midterm on Tuesday - BOO!
Last night, there was fashion - music - food - wine --- all awesome things and all included in the VIP ticket I had for the L'Image Fashion East Magazine Launch. :)
It was some great fun - us fabulous VIPs also got a copy of the 1st issue of the magazine >>
I took a picture of the cover (cover girl is Ivy.) >>
who was in the fashion show - personally I thought she looked better with the straight hair but what do I know? haha
Anyways, I love fashion, the amount of clothes I have proves it.
I am a self-proclaimed princess, after all my name is Sarah! However, I am a true born country girl, complete with the hat, boots, and the attitude!
I am from Ontario, from a fairly small town but I can have my big city moments. I am a red-head with the confidence to own it. But most of all I am me and I refuse to be anything or anyone else!!
Once I graduate I hope to get a job as a forensic analyst. For the time being I am a sales associate at GAP
and these are my ramblings!
Feel free to comment as it makes blogging all the more fun! :D
Quotes
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"One who fears failure limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again."
