So despite the fact that i have papers and assignments looming, things this morning went pretty well.

HAHA fun times...

So today was my first official day of summer and i must say that it was very productive. was supposed to have a little pow wow with some people about lasalas next year but for some reason it didn't follow through. so i went to visit Jamie for a little bit. Then this afternoon i went and got my hair cut and went out for dinner with my godmother. This evening i decided to go to the mall, pick up a couple things. i was all finishe and when i went to leave i had just missed the bus so i called my roomie to see if she would come and pick me up. This is what happpened while i was waiting out front

big black guy (just walking out with a friend): hey baby sorry i'm late
me: s'alright, just don;t let it happen again
(i realize this is was not the best idea as it resulted in further conversation but sometimes i can't help it)
guy: so what's a pretty girl like you doing out here
me:waiting for a ride

the rest of the conversation involved him not so subtly asking if i had a boyfriend, why i didn't and where i was from. and me saying that i was finished school, leaving town for the rest of the summer, not looking for a boyfriend (despite my stunning good looks) adn not really interested

he asked me for my number and i refused. i can't say that's ever happened to me. Perhaps if i wasnt' so taken aback and standing in dark place with no one else around, and was more attracted to him i might have,that would definitely be a step in the right direction in terms of ending my single status

i've always been ridiculous, and i usually feel like an idiot, I am just feeling it a bit more today.

Why?... no reason.

Some things I will never figure out.

I hate school. Well just March actually, other than the last 20 or so days it wasn't too bad. Just so busy and all i want to do is kick back and just breeze through the last days of the term. But then, who doesn't?

Got a spanish test tomorrow, or later today rather that i'm really not ready for, a paper on the symbolism, reality and the fall of the bastille. now i love the bastille as much as the next person but this paper is a bitch. It doesn't help when alot of the books writen on it are in french. Stupid library. and on top of that, throw in dance classes, turret night and a formal in the next 5 days and jaclyn is not a happy camper. Then i have another test and paper, which i haven't picked a topic for and am supposed to meet with the professor tomorrow to talk about it. Hurray.

2 weeks left. just trying to ride it out.....

You know those days where you feel as though you can't do anything right? That's how my week has been. As soon as I think everything's coming together and i'm doing alright, turns out i'm not. I should just crawl in a hole and stay there till the end of the term......

Well this has been one hell of a week. Only 4 more to go! can you beleive it. My how time does fly..(reminisce).

So bored these days. I'm afraid my social life is seriously unfortunate these days. In fact i'd go so far to say that it's pretty well non-existant. Bored. Work is piling up though so that takes up most of my time. Got a bunch of papers to write and presentations to...present, which makes me very unhappy.

I have a little dinner/work date on monday which i think is kind of funny. Now before you all get excited, it's not like that. I have to lead tutorial this week and this guy is my partner, and so we were talking today about when we'd get together to talk about it and since we both finish at 5:30 on monday that's when we're going to do it. I just like how he knows the importance of a 5:00 dinner. Too bad he wasn't better looking....Oh well

Life is really kicking my ass these days. I just don't know what to make of it all.

Everything just kind of fell apart in my life this week....
roomies apparently hate me, I have realized that i may have brought this on myself by being too reserved and keeping to myself and always turning down invitations to go out. just moments ago, it being 930pm, Jen's new boyfriend knocked on my door to ask why i wasn't coming out? how odd. he said that that's the first thing that he asked when he got here. Well i must have made a good impression on him last week. Must have been the pancakes.... But i'm tired, frustrated, over worked, i'm already behind (it only lasted a week- being ahead) i just don't know what i'm doing with my life, i don't get people and i apparently don't know how to fit in with people.

Blah.....

*collapse*

Well i am finally on the home stretch. It can hardly beleive it. 1 exam left in less than 24 hours. So excited. Went to Ren last night with Aylene, Ela and Jamie. I think Jamie might be scared for life. I don't think she would have gone except that it was the only time to see each other before the holidays. I saw a man wearing nothing but a garder and tin foil. Not something you come across every day. Yep, university life certainly isn't boring.

Spent most of the day just loafing around. I wish i had studied more. Not because i think i'm not prepared for tomorrow but because i wish i was one of those diligent students who strive for top grades. I went to the library today, first to the Waterloo public to return some books before the holidays and then to the school one to get some work done. I was there for less than an hour and most of that time is spent lookinga the features on my phone. I just can't focus. I got my marks back all but the one i'm writing for tomorrow. Bs in both my spanish classes, A- in my medieval studies and an A in anthro. not too shabby, but i know i can do better, so why don't i work at it? maybe next term i'll finally get my ass in gear.

Bleg. almost done.........

T minus 2 days and counting. Well, finally on the home stretch. There were times, i'll admit when i didn't think that the time would come and here it is nearly upon us. My last exam is on saturday night, which i think is a ghastly time for an exam but that my friends is university.

Really looking forward to spending some time reaquinting myself with good ol' port colborne. Apparently last week was the ye olde christmas at the museum. i think next year we should all try and go home for that. How hilariously wholesome is that?

still have practically all my christmas shopping to do. Honestly i don't even want to go near the malls. I may have to try and make it there some morning this week...next year i'm shopping in October!!

I do hope that there will be some festive shindiggery afoot

see you all soon!!!

Subject:stupid things getting on my nerves
Time:10:26 pm
When ever i think that things are working out, the universe has to step in and remind me who's in charge. You know what i mean, and it's hardly ever a big thing but those little seemingly unimportant things that no one but you understand. the universe is a tricky one. Like today, i wrote my second last exam, went fabulously, felt really good about it, went for coffee after with my friend maria, then i decided to do some laundry. I get to the bottom of my hamper and there was my new white shirt that i got for my formal trip that has been in there for a couple weeks because i was too lazy to hand wash it before and there is this big orange stain on it. It must have been from a pillow that i had started to wash but took out because it was too full, so it was a little damp when i threw it back in the pile. I can't get it out, It's sitting in bleach water in my sink. I'm sure the shirt will deteriorate before that stain comes out. It's things like that that get on my nerve. Actually alot of my clothes have been suffering mysterious mishaps lately. I'll be wearing the same pants and sweatshirt all holiday at this rate.

UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!


I just saw a preview for....the Fox and the Hound 2!!!!!!! I don't think that Walt would approve of this!!!!!

I mean the original just celebrated it's 25th anniversary. That's too long to make a sequal!!! the voices aren't the same!!

And for anyone who has seen the original knows that they grow up adn go their separate ways at the end!! now you go back and make a movie about one of their young adventures!!! common Disney!!! get it together!

That is all

Uggghhhh. I'm tired. Maybe if i just go to bed my exam will write itself....no?.....are you sure?
I don't even think i'm that nervous about it. How does your body know that it's exam time, and why is it for 2 weeks every term it decides that it's going to shut down and convinces you that the best thing to do would be to curl up on the couch for hours on end?

So yeah, writing my first of 2 exams tomorrow bright and early at 9am. what an ungodly hour for an exam. it's my spanish for business too. I think it will be alright. I've been studying prety hard and i've done decent throughout the term, so i can only assume that this will go well. I'm only afraid that i'll have mental block and not be able to think if the spanish word for things, which is usually the case.

Hope everyone is feeling good going into their exams over the next week and a half, and see you all soon!!

remeber how at the start of term i was so ahead of things. It was fantastic!! I was actually bored because i was so ahead that i could't do anything else. Now...things are not looking so great. I have a paper due in just over 24 hours and i'm no where near being close to being done.

I am so excited for christmas, I'm getting all nostalgic. It'll be nice to go home for a bit, see all you guys. I'm totally up for amandaplains pizza night!!!

Hahaha. i have a spanish presesntation tomorrow. for it my group made an informative video about the Argentina. For my part, i had to talk about business etiquette. since it's hard to find photos of people doing business thigns we took our own photos. it's hilarious!!! and then during the credits at the end we put in the song "don't cry for me Argentina" makes me laugh every time. how could we not get a good mark with that?

anyway it's back to the books

Well i feel so incredibly stupid right now. about what you may ask?..... everything. Honestly, sometimes i have to stop and ask myself "what the hell are you doing?" i don't know.... I don't feel like going into the details, but really, i am a clown.

this week is going to suck....I know it already.

In typical procrastinating style, i'm sitting in the library posting on LJ. excellent. Got up early to clean my room and then headed over here to get some "serious" work done. I have like a 10 pg paper due on wednesday and i haven't even started. I can't even pick a topic. Damn medeival studies. seems like the easiest one is about Icelandic sagas. how exciting!! 1 week to go!!! hurray!!! besides this paper things are going pretty well. I have a spanish presentation on tuesday but we're making a video tomorrow for it so that's good, chapter review tuesday, already finished, this paper due wednesday, not so good, and then the following week i ahve my spanish oral exam which is going to be really hard, i may have to organize a study session with my latin friends, and then 1 last spanish paper and history paper due on the tuesday after classes have finished. Kind of a lot o suppose but i'm not that worried.

well that's all for the moment, i'm sure there will be at least 1 more post today.

Is eveyone heading home this weekend?!?! really. i'm a little jealous. It's been a while and Jaclyn needs a hug. Although i wouldn't miss my toronto trip for it, but i'm sad that you'll all be going home (and not on my trip with me).

Feeling kind of lonely tonight, don't really know why. hmmmm.......

Uggghhh. November is a bitch of a month isnt't it? I mean it just doesn't know when to give up. Give us a little slack won't ya?!?!

However there is only about a week and a half left for classes. That's crazy eh? can you beleive we're half way through 3rd year (or first for the youngen over there in guelph), Haa just had to say that. I'm getting by fairly well, assignment wise. I mean i've had bouts of lashing out at innocent by-standers but it's all good.

Toronto trip this weekend!! super excited. I hope it all works out. Something's bound to go wrong, it ususally does, but you know, it all works out in the end.

well it's off to class. Almost done for the day!!!
