School

Well life is a bunch of blah :P

School is beyond rough and stressful. I have a test on Thursday but my lazy prof couldn't bring herself to come to school today because of 5cm of snow! She continues to cancel class after class then she gets extremely upset when the class did poorly on the first test (we didn't have the 3 classes prior to the test). And, its great that she cares and all but not teaching us doesn't help. Yet we are still paying her to teach those classes.

When the university isn't closed you should still get your butt to the school - I mean we are expected to! Or at least use the online banner system to let us know prior, so some of don't walk the 30 minutes to school or take a 40min bus ride - ITS A WASTE OF OUR TIME and just annoying!

Now I must go create a sort of presentation for my stupid conservation of moose in NS project - dumbest thing EVER!!!

I love how happy bunny explains my life most of the time.

Happy Groundhog Day ... or not!

Shubenacadie Sam is Nova Scotia's weather predicting groundhog!

Shubenacadie Sam, the provincial wildlife park's famed groundhog, made his annual appearance this morning at 8 a.m. He was the first groundhog in North America to predict whether there will be six more weeks of winter this year or an early spring.

However, this morning at the park Nova Scotia's furry weather prognosticator has emerged from his den and is predicting six more weeks of winter.

How ghastly!!

Going Retro!!! ~ Totally 80's

Hey

So today it was absolutely freezing out here on the eastern seaboard! Like so cold me and my roomie have not left the house - not to get groceries (which we need) or to even go shopping (which we need as well - well some things lol)! However, we are planning to brave the fierce cold to go to the Retro night -- its the last one *sad* :(

However, we are taking the bus there and will hopefully have a liquor coat to bring us home!

So here's to the 80's the best decade ever!!

Its been a month! and I'm sorry

I am sad to report a few things,

first I should really update this more often then I do.
So, I have made it a sort of new year's resolution.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

~ I hope every one's year is filled with happiness and personal success.
~ Don't forget to help others, listen more, laugh more, and live your life the way you want to.

However, I do not believe in new years resolutions, I do not think you should have to wait until the beginning of a new year to set goals for yourself -- I think that anytime you feel something should change in your life you should just make your goal! ITS YOUR LIFE! ~ ACCOMPLISH THINGS that are important to YOU and make them at ANYTIME during the year.



Which brings me to my other sad thing, and as sad and painful as it is, I feel as though I need to say something about it. A good friend of my family, passed away just before Christmas. My good friends Ma and Mi's father died. He was diagnosed with severe lung cancer a few months prior, and even though it was known he didn't have much time left, it was still a shock.


Over the holidays I was torn, I would go out with friends and be having a good time, then either during or just after i had gotten home I felt guilty. I guess its a part of grieving - I don't know, or when you feel like you should be all smiling and look happy when all you want to do is sit in the dark. Also, when people who don't know about what's going on in your life and comment that you look sad, you feel an obligation to explain, but then they just say oh that's sad, or that's too bad, or it'll be OK or they giving you pity glances - it makes you want to SCREAM!

However, there Ma's girlfriend was pregnant, she had the baby a month early so Rob got to see the baby, which was wonderful.

Now, there are good things that are going on, and as sad as I am and I think I always will be, good things are happening in my life, so don't be too sad.

I am still the Philanthropy chair for my sorority, which I love, I am excited because I have some really cool new ideas for us and our local GLOs!


Classes have started once again. I am taking 4 courses and I hope that this semester goes really well in all aspects. Class, my roomies (love them all), my sisters, and my friends and my family, I want to get things figured out.

But, as of now I need to get organized, clean my room (and the kitchen, if there is enough hours in the day). Also, gotta start on my homework; goodness second week of classes and rush and the insanity of school is already in full swing.



you know you love me, insanity and all

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.
xoxo,
