So. This is winter. Or whatever you can call it. Exams. Studying. My life consists of getting up, eating, going to the library, getting lunch, going back to the library, get dinner, go to the library and then maybe go to the pool and go to sleep. Repeat cycle. Wrote my first exam today. It was ok. Psych. Hopefully it went ok, seeing as its worth 50% of my mark. Joyous wonderful. Last weekend Katy came down from Ottawa and spent the weekend with me. It was cool, and we had lots of fun. Its nice to have a change of people once in a while. From here anyways. We also did secret santa on monday with my floor. I had my friend Hayley, so I made her an Engineer Survival Kit which she loved. What did I get? Nothing. Neither did my friend. Go figure. Those who put the most into things get the least out. People shouldn't participate in SS if they arent going to buy their person a gift. Lame. As for my plans for my Bday. I'm going to eat breakky alone, cause everyone sleeps all the time. (especially my roomie, dont get me started on that one) and then give blood and then study and maybe in the evening go out with friends, if they aren't too busy studying. As for exams, I have 3 left: Bio - 8th
Chem -12th
Health - 15th
Not looking forward to chem or bio, but Health should be pretty easy.

Some Stuff.

1. November 25th - Hawksley Workman Concert in Lonon (STUNNING!)
2. November 28th - Hawksley Workman Concert in Toronto (ON FIRE!)
3. December 1st - Kitchener City Council Meeting (all ROW / WLU swimmers filled the chamber to discuss the pool closure)
4. December 1st - McMullan's after the meeting (Keith B.: "I'm going to drown my sorrows in ale.")
5. December 2nd - Meeting w/ Max Blouw (President of WLU)

The pool is closing December 31st for sure. No hope of extending the deadling 45 more days to finish our season. We will be training at Waterloo and in Guelph. In other news, two more goddamn weeks of this hell and I can sleep for three days straight at home. Oh, also, the p-rents get to meet Tom on December 17th (they're picking me up / we're all going for dinner). Good times. Exam Schedule:

1. Dec. 4 - Developmental Psych @ 9:00am
2. Dec. 6 - English and Lit Tradition I @ 2:00pm
3. Dec. 8 - Reading Culture Paper Due
4. Dec. 12 - Children's Literature @ 9:00am
5. Dec. 17 - Intro to Cognitive Psych @ 2:00pm

Also good times. At least they're spread out, but I just can't wait to be done.

Excitement! and Anticipation!

1. 29 days until Christmas break! (And I get to see all of you again!)
2. My dad got bored the other day and got satellite. Timeshifting networks and GolTV are my new drugs. Because, you know, I did drugs before.
3. 2 midterms left! (I'll stop with the exclamation marks now.)
4. MY SISTER BOUGHT ME THIS HAT.

Pool Closure

Yep. You read it right. Yesterday afternoon my life was turned upside down. (To explain, due to the posibility of public viewing, I will use abbreviations). Our pool is closing. Technically it's unofficial until tonight when DCoach actually has the meeting and hears it...but after our meet he basically said it doesn't look good. So. Let me explain why this ruins everything. I will try and be brief, but I'm not sure I'll do a good job because I'm a LITTLE fired up. Ok. So. This all started in:

• July. We heard during the summer that the pool was closing. We freaked out, but calmed down when we found out that we had pool time booked at The Math School Down the Street. This was not ideal, of course, but hey we could swim. Then we found out, 'ohhh heeeyy it's open until December 31st!!' We said, 'fuck yeah!', cancelled our time at The Math School Down the Street and were very happy.
• November. We find out it's closing. Now we are devastated. "A, what about The Math School Down the Street pool time?" For the purposes of this possibly public blog entry, I shall call a man C, and my coach D. C wanted Ds job. C is notorious for going in to city clubs, overtraining athletes, burning them out before they reach full potential, and then moving on to new cities, overtaking other coaches, and doing the same thing. Now, of course RSwimming (the club D coaches) said, 'um C you're an idiot, we know what you do, Ds been coaching forever, get the eff out of here.' C gets pretty pissed. Decides to start his own club, who train at The Math School Down the Street. He says, anything that D does cannot be done with my club in this pool. So. We severed ties with TMSDTS in July, C overbooked his TMSDTS pool time, and now Our School cannot train there. RSwimming has alternate pool times, but Our School does not. So C sits back and laughs, because he has successfully cut Ds salary in half (if Our School Varsity does not continue. And it does not look good).
• Three Years Ago: Our School had the money needed to repair the pool and spent it on football. Our School could have switched the lighting in the pool to more energy-efficient bulbs, which would have saved the money needed to repair the pool.
• Long Term Plans: There are none. However, there is something called 'lease-to-own'. This is where Our School says, 'prior to the leaks / repairs needed, we were willing to put up X amount of dollars to run the pool. Hey private contractors, build us a pool for that X amount of dollars!' Yes, it costs more in the long run. However, it isn't just Varsity and RSwimming that uses that pool. It is a community pool, and is never empty unless it is closed. Plus, with our economy as it is, that really is the only way to build anything. Basically it works like a mortgage.
• Final Points: There have been whisperings of building a satellite campus / building bigger residences to up Our School's numbers. My response: If you can put up money to build a satellite campus, why the eff can't you fix the pool? Also: I turned down 5 other school BECAUSE Our School is small. I don't fucking want a satellite campus, nor does over half of Our School, probably 99.95% of us. Also: Of those 5 schools, I had scholarships to 3, and 2 were getting a new pool facility. Also: How would it feel to be one of THREE schools in all of Ontario to not have a pool? We would be likened to Nippissing, OCAD, and Algoma. Where the fuck is Algoma? Oh yes, that's right, no one knows because no one goes there, therefore it doesn't need a goddamn pool. And, "OMMMGGG NO WWAYY Ontario School of Art and Design doesn't have a pool? I NEVER would have guessed!" Nippissing surprises me. Also: Windsor and Ryerson have pools and no team. Um. Yeah. Let's not get started on that.

Ok that's enough. Basically we find out what it means in terms of our Varsity program tomorrow at 5pm. We have a meeting with the Athletic Director, and we officially hear the news, good or bad, tomorrow morning at practice. I am by no means the best swimmer in the world, nor on the team. But I will not have my swimming career cut short. I don't know what that means for next year. If there is no team, I move schools. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Novemburrr (but not really cause its not that cold as of late)

Welll. I dunno. Last weekend I went to New Jersey for a regatta and it was totally worth it. Like our team got second place and we had a chance for first but me and my skipper had a reeeaaallly bad race (17th amongst many of our first place finishes, but I must say it was not completely our fault), kinda because the other boat got stuck on our boat and any chance we had of catching up to the boats in front of us dissappeared like cookies in a room full of fat kids. Anyhoo. It was good and I pretty much didn't have to spend any money on food for the whole weekend, which left me some to spend at duty free, aka why is alcohol so cheap when its at duty free? Who knows, but its good that way. Which I guess leads to this weekend. (During the week I did nothing cause I have almost no work and now no sailing, which means I have way too much time on my hands and nothing to do during that time.) This weekend. Oh man. Friday night was the ushe, drink, go out whatevs. Some guys were playing century club, which means that they have to take a shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes. Its an engineer thing cause then they get a badge to put on their ridiculous leather jackets. Last night, uh people started playing flipcup at 4:30, maybe 5:00 in the afternoon. Yeah ridics. The guy took off his cupboard door and was using that on top of two chairs as the flipcup table, which a) got covered! in beer, b) had a great wall of china constructed down the middle of it using beer cans (it was 2 wide and 2 high and ran the entire length of the table, and a third layer was under construction, also the table was like 6 feet long) and c)got pulled down by the guy whos door it was because he was too drunk and always does stupid shit / makes an ass out of himself when he gets drunk. Then later (like 10?) we went out, couldn't get into Legendz cause its lame in the first place and last week or so they got busted by the cops for having minors in there, so now they double piece everyone, which I dont have. So no go. Meh. Well we decided to go home after that I guess and we did nothing and I went to sleep. Now, tonight. I know bad news. Why you ask? Sailing social. They are always bad news. This is aided by the fact that it is on a SUNDAY NIGHT. Always on the most inconvenient nights. BUt worth it all the same. We'll see. I may or may not be going to my morning classes tomorrow. P.S. Did everyone get the secret santa thing I gto my friend to send out??

what happens in chemistry...

well not actual chemistry work!! (ok except that mandy is a huge loser and decided to start coming to this class so she could learn?!)
Any ways.... mandy wanted to make sure you guys knew who she was lol. so as you can tell she might have a very low IQ...
hehe and shes a bit weird.
(Mandy: but nothing compared to you!)  
okee thats all for now hehehe...
(Mandy: At least wish them a merry christmas!)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! =D

Halloween!

Ok so I will write a bunch more later but I am lazy so for now PICTURES! (also I did emslys hair and it was awesome and you all better love it)

ok well I will add more later maybe.. because there are more from Alison's camera...

ALSO: 1 month 'til ma birthday (and steph's of course)

Actually...

To be honest Priss, I have nothing to say about that post! Except that you're not dumb, school blows, and just get done what you can! Trust me, I was in the exact same boat, and I know how much it blows. And if you can't study something, you can't study something. Simple as that. And if it makes you feel better, I have seven papers due this month! Yaayyyy!!!!!! :P Ok so, results of my swim meet. I did very very well for myself. I didn't make all of my meet goals, but I got PBs (personal bests) in nearly everything. As follows:

• 4 x 200 Free Relay (2.24.40 - PB by 5 Seconds)
• 50 Back (33.33 - PB)
• 200 Back (2.35.00 - PB but I can do better)
• 4 x 50 Medley Relay (33.74 - Backstroke)
• 100 Free (1.05.50 - 40 miliseconds off my PB)
• 100 Back (1.11.20 - PB)
• 4 x 50 Free Relay (30.00 - PB, and so FUCKING close to breaking 30!! ARGH)

So my main point of frustration is the 50 Free. My coach didn't come with us (he had Tom come instead because Dean was busy with something), anyway, Tom was like, 'I COULD say you swam a 29.99, ...but I won't." I was like fuuuccckkk. SO CLOSE! I'll do it at the next meet = Divisionals = Two Weeks Away!!! I'm most proud of the 200 Free - I fucking hate that event, and yet I got a PB by 5 seconds. How does that happen you ask? Well I really can't tell you. I swam it a different way, and apparently it paid off! My meet goal was a 1.10 in the 100 Back...so close. It was still a PB though, so that's ok!! Also, I think my body is succumbing to a cold. I am not pleased about this; I haven't been sick ONCE yet, all year. FML. Anyhoo. Halloween Stories....GO!

... GET OFF THE INTERWEBNETS AND GO STUDY. GAWWRRGGHH.

The title pretty much sums it all up. Lucky for me it's a SUNDAY. Some infotainment for you:

• I feel a bit like crying when I think about the upcoming week. I know I promise I wasn't going to complain about school this semester... but I have my Vector Calculus midterm, Mechanics of Deformable Bodies I midterm, and Computer Aided Analysis II midterm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday respectively. Because I'm stupid, studying for these three is much like banging your head against a metal wall (yes, the wall MUST be metal). It's incredibly painful, and generally fruitless. I spent about four (sporadic) hours studying the Taylor Series yesterday and all I have to show for it is the ability to solve an approximation incorrectly past the first iteration. Whatever, I'm fully switching into midwifery. Thoughts on this?
  
  
• Creeping around our blog results in the following: I have noticed that in September we had 26 entries. This is excellentastic. However, in October we had only 13 entries. Now, being the amazing math student that I obviously am, *secretly whips out calculator and pecks at it very slowly* that is TWICE as many entries in September as in October. I blame Emily and her grand total of like one post. Let's pick it up.
  
  
• I'm obsessed with the X Factor. For those of you who don't know what that is (i.e. ... all of you), it's basically a kind of American-Idol-ish show in the UK (everything in the UK is better) and Simon Fuller is definitely one of the judges. And Cheryl Cole (i.e. wife of Major Jerkface Cashley Cole and amazingly horrific singer in Girls Aloud, a less talented and less campy version of the Spice Girls) is definitely another one of the judges. And Danni Minogue (i.e. Kylie Minogue's sister) is definitely one of the other judges. And Louis Walsch (i.e. WESTLIFE'S MANAGER EEEE!) is definitely the other judge. Anyways, it's like American Idol except better because instead of just people bands and groups and stuff can also enter and you know who was an X Factor winner awhile ago? Leona Lewis, you know, who sang Bleeding Love? It's also better because it ends right before Christmas and then the winner releases a song and everyone waits to see if it wins the UK Christmas number one cause that's like a huge deal and it's always like OMG WHO IS GOING TO WINNIT WE DON'T KNOW (and one year Bob the Builder definitely beat Westlife). Anyways, so yes, it's a very excellent show and I wish that it came on the teletube here so I wouldn't have to watch it on Youtube. And people would know what I was talking about when I talk about it. If you want to hear a very excellent singer you should YouTube Diana Vickers. She does funny things with her hands when she sings and uptalks the lyrics weirdly but she's good anyways.
  
  
• I'm going to sit here patiently and wait for Amy to make a post making fun of me for this post. I don't just expect it, I anticipate it. Don't disappoint me, Hucal.

Happy Halloween!

• I have no halloween plans because I have a swim meet in Sudbury tomorrow! Actually I lied, I'm going for dinner with Tom and his family and his BFFs. But that's every Friday, so they aren't really Halloween plans. I just contradicted myself twice. ANYhoo.
• So i swim 200 Back, 200 Free, 100 Back, 100 Free, 50 Back this weekend. Wish me luck ladies! I'll let you know how I do because I know you are all so interested in my life.
• Response to Emily's Side Note: [Recall Side Note: why are all superheroines either really slutty or really butch? i dont get it.] To perpetuate the idea that women are strictly objects of the male gaze. If they are otherwise (strong and tough and independant) they are lesbians. This is part of why I object to Halloween. Actually a really huge part. However, I hope you have fun tonight!!! :)

What do you do when its cold and snowing and ridiculously windy?

Sail of course! I mean, what else would you do in weather like that? So essentially it was just ridiculous, and I may or may not have been sailing for my life, cause me and my skipper are not heavy weather. But it turned out fine, noone died and well, it continued to snow. As for this past weekend it went wellish. I didn't like the person I sailed with, I thought they did a poor job as a skipper. On the other hand, me and Maddie and Alex (my sailing friends) now have something to laugh about all the time (aka the way josh talk s and what he says etc.) Anyhoo on Saturday it was gusting up to 40 knots (74km/h) and they did actually postpone it for about an hour because everyone was capsizing and not really getting anywhere, meaning quite an unproductive race. And sunday was slightly better, but only slightly. We had some almost good races, but somehow Josh always seemed to lose us a couple spots when we had the potential to do decently well. Meh. Got bakc on Monday morning at 3am, took us about 11ish hours, including many stops, so we pretty much cut off a couple of hours from the way there. But dont ask how. Also ODU is a really nice university, with its own sailing centre and a boathouse for their fleets of like 20FJs and I dunno, like 1o lasers. And the its H-oween. Thursday will be the sailing social, themed dead toga (how the romans look today) and friday I am undecided on a costume, maybe librarian, maybe pirate....maybe pirate librarian. Who knows....

oh hey.

time for my monthly post. now that its the end of the month. umm havent died yet which is a plus i guess. also it snowed today and i wanted to kill myself. its been raining all day and then it started snowing like really wet snow so it all melted anyway, but it was still snow, in the air and on my window. what the hell weather. what the hell. omg it just started it again. wow. go away. so what are everyones halloween plans? im going to visit heaz and we're going to be superheroines. cuz we're cool like that. [side note: why are all superheroines either really slutty or really butch? i dont get it.]  so yeah thats my life as usual. school sucks, weather sucks, life sucks, etc. 

other side note, because i know everyone wants to know this. daphnes being a workout girl from the 80s for halloween, because apparently she has legwarmers. lyle is being a leprechaun. i am so impressed with her, that is a genius costume. and adam sucks and is being his usual boring self. daphne told him to be a mexican. i agreed. so we're trying to convince him to dress up as a mexican at school on friday.

also i believe we all know our december exam schedules now so can we post them? i have kin on dec 10 and other kin on dec 15.

Random times...

So guys, this week has been well, to say the least pretty incredible. As you may know, my phone/camera/ jacket (of a friend) were all found after being lost for two weeks. Granted, they were all where I assumed (knew) where they were, but the person who's house it was just didn't know. Anyways, this was following the amazing weekend I had in Ottawa with Katy. I left on Friday night and got back on Monday night. It was nice up there, no one at her work could tell us apart (hil-arrrr-ious), I dunno what to say we did, but it was cool and lots of fun. Hm, Tuesday I had a bio midterm on the internet. 25 multiple choice questions and two people sitting with me telling me answers. Final result: 23 out of 25. Not bad at all. Wednesday was by far the busiest day of my life. Like non-stop from 8:30 in the morning to 9:30 at night. This included class, some shopping, work, sailing and super psych. Work was friggin fantastic, as was sailing, even though I was dreading sailing with this one guy cause last time he just pissed me off so bad, but it was great and I might sail with him more. We even sailed without a rudder (and gybed and docked) for like 10 minutes, lots of fun. Thurrrrsssday. Well yesterday. Received a request asking if I wanted to go to Virginia for the weekend for a regatta. Heck yes! This also meant emailing profs to get out of two midterms that I was studying like crazy for and other things. Didn`t get out of one, but did get out of psych. Also I got to skipper, cause there were two boats and we were just sailing around.  And the sailing movie. More like a documentary, but still awesome. Called morning light, and I suggest you watch it, cause its wicked good. Then Thursday night, very little sleep, this morning midterm and packing and now on my way to Virginia. Old Dominion University. Yep, Em, that is H. Kess` university. Cool stuff. 12 hours of driving well into  the morning (2:30 about) and to be at the regatta for 9. I let you all know how it goes. Laturrr.

Wednesdays = superlame, like Chelsea lame

Darlings!

Have not written in awhile but it's not because I forgot, it's just because there hasn't been much to write! I have been going to school and working on school and that's about it, but it's okay because there's only 9 and a half weeks of school left which makes me happy. It's safe to say that I'm in a good mood.

Except for the fact that I keep losing things. I've lost my phone in various places at least ten times since school started... and then last week I lost my pencil case with my clicker and calculator and favourite pink highlighter in it. I always find them but still. It's unnecessary distress.

As per Hucal's suggestion, I will not take this time to complain about my workload, because if I begin I will most likely never stop. Instead I'm going to tell you that I'm very excited because I finally get an elective next semester! WHAT?!

(A sidenote to Emily; Cesc has still not cut his hair and is beginning to look slightly homeless. Tragic, that. Also I am starting to think that he maybe made up the story about his nose being broken because I've seen him in two games since it happened and NO TAPE. HMMM.)

Well, this has been way too long. I would highly recommend commenting on it so I don't feel abandoned or forgotten.

OH OH OH. AND GUESS WHAT. I just found out I have free long-distance calling so you should all expect sneak-attack calls all the time now. Except for Amy and Emily. Because I don't have your home numbers. GET ON THAT.

If I disappear for awhile don't worry. I probably just got crushed by the amount of crap I have to do. yay! Also I just wasted like most of my chem class writing this and I still have to sit through bio. ugh.
Also where did you all go?! If nothing interesting has happened lately I'm sure there is still plenty to complain about =p
I would tell you about my weekend but that would end up being more complaining about all of the bruises/injuries I always manage to get when I drink. (And I wasn't even going to get drunk)
Anyways I will talk to you all laters <3

1/5 Babees!

So a little update on my midterms / study break. I aced Children's Literature on Friday. Awesome. I'm not sure if I should be proud of that accomplishment or not. Actually yes I should, who are we kidding. I never thought I would critically analyze Little Red Riding Hood for sexual undertones. You would be very weirded out with the orginal versions, let me tell you. They are interesting, to say the least. Ok so, I hate midterms because I never get enough sleep. I'm sure you all feel the same way, but complaining makes me feel better, momentarily, before I realize 'fuck there's nothing I can do about it, suck it up, life's a bitch and then you die.' I have my English midterm tomorrow, and I was really dumb and signed up for tomorrow as my discussion day. So yes, I had to study for English, AND read ahead and make a fricken discussion for tutorial. Awesome. But I'm done that, and let me tell you...my questions for discussion kick ass. Yeah so I think I'm going to write my paper tonight, which is due on Tuesday. And then figure out how to study for those two midterms in one day, ie, tomorrow. Fuck my life. I really hope I never have three midterms and two assignments due in two days, ever again. It's balls. And I also really hope you guys are not going through similar times of absolute hell. Though judging by the fact that I haven't spoken to any of you in like a week (except Heather, she came to my swim meet, which kicked ass BTW), I have to assume you are experiencing death by school, or at least the heavy lidded eyes and extreme exhaustion that come with this much stress! I hate being up this late (yes I know it's not even that late but I would have been in bed an hour ago!). Fuck. Ok I'm done complaining. Best study break ever number one: a walk in this fucking gorgeous weather / beautiful trees everywhere. It's actually amazing, the fresh air does wonders, and I have some fabulous pictures. Best study break ever number two: all you can eat sushi. Granted that was also dinner, but my god it was good. And all in all, I'm doing quite well! I haven't had a nervous breakdown, nor will I. Despite my complaining, I am relatively well prepared! One item at a time, and it all feels better! Good luck on your midterms girlies, and sorry for my waves of emotion, hahaha!

Amsterdam?!

What a ridiculous week! Stupid Duncan going missing.

Monday night: Jaci and Duncan get in a fight over something stupid .

Tuesday:  we don't see Duncan all day. We assumed he was being a sulky baby and taped some Midol to his door telling him to stop being such a little bitch. Tuesday night we are actually kind of concerned and tell the on call RA's because we couldn't find his RA Amanda.  

Wednesday: He doesn't show up to classes again and we really start to worry. The lights in his room are on but no one has seen him, not even to leave for food. We decide on Wednesday that we really need to tell his RA because we haven't seen him and have no idea where he could be and his phone if off, he hasn't been on facebook and he hasn't been on MSN.                                                                     So we tell Amanda and she decides to talk to her manager and they get a key to his room and check if he is in there. In the mean time Jaci calls Duncan's mom to see if he went home maybe. She hasn't seen him and calls the residence desk to find out what is going on.

From there the police get involved. They talk to Jaci and also to the guy who saw Duncan last, on Tuesday night leaving his room with some bags. 

Thursday:  Jaci gets a message from some people at home saying he is in Amsterdam?! One of her friends moms works at a bank and saw his bank account and that he bought a plane ticket to Amsterdam on Tuesday night. Jaci has to go to class but decides to bring her laptop to tell us what else is going on.  A cop comes into Jaci's class and says that if anyone knows about where Duncan could be that they need to know. So Jaci has to leave in front of her entire class.
The police ask who she is and say that they have a file on her. They bring her down to the police station for some questioning and actually have a file on her with private facebook messages and everything!  In the mean time Alison is so angry she wants to break something so we go for a long walk in the Arboretum.

Thursday night: Amanda sees us in the hallway and tells us to let her know if we see Duncan... we don't really know what to think other than she must know something we don't . Oh and then Duncan returns at around 11pm.  He went to Amsterdam for all of like a day. What a douche.  He brought back gifts for everyone and realized that  what he did was stupid.
Today his parents are coming to have lunch with him. (good luck to him) and that is our ridiculous week. Did I mention that we have a chem midterm tomorrow that was very hard to study for when you are wondering where the hell your friend could be because he seemed to disappear. Oh and the police were going to use Interpol to find him. OH and he took a TAXI to Toronto the night he left.  

What a tool. 

not dead.... yet..

so I haven't been writing on the blog because I have alot of stuff to do.. like my math midterm tomorrow that I've been slacking/ procrastinating studying for for the past 3 hours. we got let out of environ early and I still didn't study.  I pretty much decided that if I wrote on the blog it would be me complaining about how much I have to do which would really be just another form of me procrastinating. I also decided that I'm gunna bring a bunch of stuff home and actually try to get shit done... but I still have to get stuff done by Friday.. like possibly write an essay for enviro.. and find a  bio article for an assignment we have to do (article due Friday)

So other than lots of homework and assignments and quizzes etc things have been going pretty well.  I seriously love my group of friends.

And I probly party way too much.. (I'm sure you can tell by all the random pics of me on facebook.) like every weekend for sure.. last weekend killed my stomach.. rum+coke+vanilla=delicious+painful.   I think i'm going to be taking it easy for the next few weekends at least... and I'm sure I will have a few weekends off before my birthday which btw me and Alison have already been making plans for sorta.. haha like how its gunna be a joint birthday of me Colin and Lauren (and tess too if she wants to be part of our huge birthday party) haha basically we want it to be huge. and with everyone from valley one and maybe valley 2 valley 3 is out except for our floor and a select few that we actually talk to. haha our tower sucks. Its ok though we are adopted Valley 1s

So I should stop wasting time and actually study... (and I will be awake for awhile for sures because I'm drinking a large iced cafe mocha... with whipped cream and chocolate sauce.. mmm I love our nightly snack breaks hehe)  oh and here is my schedule for next semester which I figured out on Tuesday after much stress in the morning.

My Tattoo

Bleh....eh.........eheh..

Yo kids, whats going on? I have officially concluded that Heaz and Emmery are MIA, aka, they dont write on the blog, so they must be dead. Thats the only logical explanation I can come up with.

R.I.P. Strike 2008

Back to the grind on Monday which means Em can stop hating me now, but in the meantime... Things I've accomplished over the past two and a half weeks:

1. Re-joined the work force!!!
2. Watched ridiculous amounts of Jon and Kate plus 8.
3. Forgot everything I'd learned before the strike and made no effort to re-learn any of it.
4. Ran over three curbs whilst driving yesterday. Three separate curbs.

Ridics

So, now I will talk about my ridiculous day, except that I cant remember all that happened, which is balls. Well, first its pretty normal/ whatevs, I forget my iclicker in Bio as usual, and am pissed about it. But I move on. Later I was thinking I had to go to work, but really I didnt, so I pretty much just went there to check the times I actually was workng...cool cool. So I decided to go to sailing, which did't seem like it would be too bad, until I got there and notice how much wind there was and started thinking that it was ridiculous. While we were setting up the boats, I actually thought I was possibly going to die, cause of the wind and considering it was almost impossible to set up the boat, while being attacked by the jib. But good. Uh, got the boat down down to the water, and I asked some guy that I kinda know to put up our main(sail) and he was like 'yeah cause I'm your friend', but then he was like 'but now you owe me a date', and I was kinda like sure, ' and he was like 'how does the keg sound?' and I'm like 'ok, but you're paying'. Buuut anywaaaayyysss. I don't know how serious he was, or whats going to happen, but it probably wont end by me dating anyone. So then to sailing. Me and my skipper were prolly the lightest ones out there, yeah not so good in high wind, but we managed. And then like, 10-15 minutes before we were going to go in, something happened and our boat capsized. Not only that, it turtled. And then kept Cali rolling, aka, .we would bring it up and it would be like, 'now I'm gunna keep rolling right on top of you guys'. So after several failed attempts to bring it up, Vaughn, the coach brought over a sailor from another boat in the motor boat, and with that guy, it took us another couple of tries to get it up. Thank god for wetsuits, altough I didn't think it was that cold, maybe it was cause of the wind. I don't know. But then I had to rush and get back (like I walked back to res in m wetsuit) and rush to get ready because my floor had a high table, meaning we dress up (like semi formal) and go eat a dinner, that we have chosen a menu for and then a prof like talks to us and thats about it. And it was intense, but I finally got ready and cool stuff. Including that I am planning a floor party and inviting the floor above us and its gunna be a Pyjamas and Superheroes Party. Awesome. And, yesterday, also........Our floor got a microwave!!!!!!! Woot! We can now cook things!!!

Reasons Why I Should Roll My Eyes at Priss

(1) sawkker (2) thinking we're jealous that she's called a Bio Bot (3) eight hours of TV (4) eight hours of tv, called teletube (5) eight hours of sawkker ON the tv (6) OTH (7) drawing spice girls (8) using "ihu." as in, i hate you, when viewing this post (9) using 'lulz' which she is now forbidden to do

Ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out

Guess what, guys?! We're still on strike! I had to go down to the university today and I got to see all the professors acting like hippie kids, it was so awesome. Today I'm playing co-ed sawkker with my sister's grad team (they're called the Bio Bots. You are SO jealous) and tomorrow I'm watching approximately eight hours of sawkker on the teletube, AND ONE TREE HILL IS ON TONIGHT! AND I'M GETTING RAINBOOTS TOMORROW! I can't remember the last time I was so happy! Except for the fact that Ginger Spice may never have a head... *EDIT* I lied. Also. ATTENTION! I NEED ALL OF YOUR MAILING ADDRESSES! LIKE RIGHT NOW ASAP OKAY?!?

Thanksgivingee Goodness

Ok ladies, a few things. (1) Will you all be home on Thanksgiving weekend, mainly the Saturday? (2) Can you make yoursevles free for lunch on Saturday? I'm only home that day, so whoever I can see I need to see!!!! Let me know, just comment here. Actually I'll probably facebook it too. Let me know! I miss you guys.

Ma Schedulez

OK Guys. Heres my schedule. Its kinda not complete because somewhere I need to get in a bio tutorial and a pysch, which I'm pretty sure won't fit in anywhere. But yeah, thats about it.

I May Freak Out A Little

ok so first of all i have now posted my schedule of daily activities, and this now is a list of all the shit i have to do in the next three months. if you take the time to read it one day when you are really bored, please notice that in five days in the middle of october, i have four midterms and a very large paper due, three of those things occuring on one day. and a swim meet on the weekend in between, ergo, a will lose at least one day of studying. for now, i choose to ignore the later part of this list, because basically i will freak out a lot and possibly hyperventilate a little, followed quite swiftly by a full-on anxiety attack, hospitalization included. my final exams are not included on this list. secondly. i have been invited to a wine and cheese on friday evening, to which i am supposed to wear some fancy clothes. classy. i'm a little worried about this, i'm not going to lie. i know i had a 'thirdly' but at the moment i really cannot recall. considering my internet has been down for three days, and that i have an assignment due tomorrow, i should really go and do that.

grrrr...

worst   schedule  ever !!!

Pirates=awesome

Also the little pirate skull aroundmy neck lights up. My most fave costume everrrr.

CLASS SCHEDULE

Yes, I realize that a picture is much more effective.

I am employed!!

So I really don't have too much to say at the moment, but I DID get a job! I talked to my coach about some issues I have, the main one being money for the team / Florida and how I'll need to get sponsored and stuff. So he offered me a job! I get to work with Matty P, who I really like and we get along well. We teach highschool kids swimming on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, as well as Saturday morning. And it's something like $12 an hour, so that's really really going to help me out!! I can't wait, I start Tuesday apparently! :) I hope everyone is having a good time doing whatever, this weekend is homecoming for us. Ridiculous. The keggers started two hours ago. Our team is definitely having a breakfast kegger tomorrow morning. I may die a little bit.

What do you call a Sailing Team dressed as pirates? St. Lawrence Rowing Club

So this is what we like to call sailing rookie night. We were all required to dress as pirates as well as don our life jackets and meet up to go to a final destination. Once we were all gathered, we were made to line up, a learn some sort of wacko danse, don't even know. Well anyways, then we were made to move on. The preferred method of transportation they chose for us was leapfrog, which pretty much didnt last long, because there were way too many people, and well, it was kinda too hard to do, especially in high boots. Then they decided we could 'sail' to our location, and when they blew the whistle once we had to tack, and twice we had to do a 360. They also made us figure 8 some trees, and then walk backwards and row, and occasionally chant St. Lawrence rowing! And sometimes also stop to play knights and cavaliers. Well. Thats just getting there. Then we were made to line up in front of the house, in which we were going, and to go in one at a time, and when we went in, we had our names written on our faces, and our adresses and who was taking us home on our arms. Oh, and then they duct taped 40s of beer to our hands. Well one to each person. yay. Then followed other activities/shots/food things, such as Darling I love you (I am terrible at this and someone eventually, just offered to take my place, so I could stop taking sips of drink), uh, tabasco and vodka shots, banana smoothie vodka shots, uh and burnt cookies stuck together with wasabi sauce. Now what I don't remember and don't know if I had or not were the raw egg and vodka shots, as well as wasabi vodka shots. There was one other thing. The bucket. What the bucket consisted of was weak purple koolaid, vodka, with the unfortunate additions (not supposed to be in there, but poured in there by some dumb kids) of a tabasco shot and some beer. Yeah gross. What I'm also lucky that I missed was the vaseline in the hair. I saw some people the next day who told me about this event, and had their hair covered in the stuff, as well as some unlucky ones who got kitty litter in there too. Well, like I said I missed that, but that may be because I also don't remember half of the night. Like when I left the party, or when people were walking me home. You know, things like that. What a rough night. I got home at...uuuuh...8:30 in ther morning, and I went to sleep, and slept until the afternoon, until I was no longer drunk. Yeah guys. Low. I kept on hearing things that happened that I didn't know about, and I'm still trying to find out what else happened. But I do know that I am not drinking for at least another week, but we'll see when it comes to homecoming...........

"Zip-a-dee- doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!"

umm so hey priss hows that video on youtube project coming along? 

Room

Also, since Priss has been asking, here are some picturrrs of my room. Which I like.

Ok guys, here it is, Get ready for the biggun.

Ok, so lets get this started, shall we? I will now explain to you most of what happened during frosh week/ the first week of school. Superfun. First of all we moved in, some before others and everyone kinda went around to meet people, say hi and stuff. Cool. Pretty much most people now get along on our floor, except for four girls who are never around and one of whom has been nicknamed the witch by pretty much everyone on the floor. Anyways. So the first two days were res orientation, blah blah, dont even remember much of what we did, but it was good. The first day we went to the football game, whatevs they won, and that night me and my roomie (who is super nice and we get along really well) and another friend from our floor went to a kegger, and made sure we got our monies worth, and well....anyways other nights we went looking for parties but nothing going on, donc lame. They also had this hilarious play/skit for the first years called Existere, in which they kinda talk about all sorts of things that might happen in first year. Aka, singing to the tunes of Backstreetboys, larger than life, Britney Spears Toxic, and one about Walkhome to the tune of Madonna Like a Prayer. Yeah, ridiculous and awesome. There was also this amazing fair that they had randomly, with an inflatable obstacle course, and and inflatable like rock climbing volcano, and just generally radical stuff. Then later, went to swim tryouts, didn't like it so much, probably because of how out of shape I am, and I decided not to go back. Well, not just that, I missed the next day because of a frosh week fair, with a different inflatable obstacle course, and then the next two days I had sailing tryouts, and I made the team, and now its should be awesome. Also for frosh week, our group was the More Cow Bell. I hope you guys get the Will Farrel SNL reference, otherwise you should look it up. There was also an Artsci Frosh Dance, which you can look at here. Although it doesnt have all the different things we say during the dance, its still pretty awesome. But you can watch everyone do it here, the frosh are the ones in yellow, and we are good at it because we had to do it every time that song came on. And yes, that is a Michael Phelps reference too. So guys, that pretty much sums up my week. Classes are not too bad, yet. Actually I only have 16 hours of class a week, which I'm cool with, hopefully I'll get a credit for french. And then I may take Japanese, because it fits into my schedule nicely, aka in between other classes, so that the latest I finish is 2:30 pm, not including superpsych. Also last night I got to see my friend Alex from rangers. It was pretty cool, and we got to talk about what we've been up to since then. So yeah, lots of fun. I like it here. :)

1234: The Plain White T's > Feist

I really hope this works, 'cause it took awhile and I went against most of my morals by getting a YouTube account for this specific purpose.

1. So I hope you all love it. Comment on this and I'll love YOU.
2. In other news, go listen to Within You by Ray Lamontagne. Ignore my notoriously terrible taste in music, it's seriously be-e-a-utiful and I love it.
3. I'm not going to talk about school because I promised myself that this year I wasn't going to whine, but it's kind of difficult to talk about it without whining.
4. I really love hearing all your updates, though. So keep that up.

Recipe for the Best Morning Ever

1. Set your alarm to your favourite song that will not scare the shit out of you when it clicks on and the sound drifts down into your cerebellum. Dane Cook reference, yes. 2. Grab warm clothes and dress as quickly as possible since your room just may be the coldest in the house. 3. Get a ride to the AC because walking reeeealllly blows. 4. Jump in a freezing cold pool and splash around a little, make it look like you're working. Mr. Coulter reference, yes. 5. Get the shit out of there because you're so hungry your stomach may implode. 6. Get a ride back from the AC because walking reeeealllly blows. 7. Two eggs, two pieces of toast, a massive cup of tea and Bolthouse Farms Blue Goodness Berry Apple Banana Smoothie. Fuck yeah. 8. A very very very hot shower. 9. Back to bed! I am about to conclude my morning with numbers 8 and 9. Though a sarcastic post, this actually was the best morning ever. And I DID get a ride, by the way, it was awesome.

Oh.

Hey guys, dont be worrying ro partying just yet, because it happens that I am still alive and kicking. What a shame eh? Well, tomorrow I will (at least try) to write about epic frosh week, awesome parties, and how it barely seems that I ever go to class. Aka, tomorrow I start at 10:30 and finish at 12:30, so I have lots of time to do stuff. Anyways, until then ladies.

oh hey.

uhhhhh so. i cant figure out how to put my schedule on here so whatevs. basically i have 830 class MWF and it sucks. but not at much as pdubs' schedule. dude i dont think you could have made that worse if you tried. that sucks a whole lot. so im goin to waterloo this weekend cuz one of my roommates lives there and she has to go back for like an older relatives bday so we're all gonna hang out and then go out that night. but a certain someone currently living in waterloo sucks a whole lot and wont even be there. geeze. but yeah western life is not exciting at all. so far my most interesting class is classics, which is a greek and roman mythology class. its kinda awsome and the prof is really weird so i like her. daphne told me i should switch into classics since its clearly my true calling. which means basically that i dont have a calling because lets be serious, what are you going to do with a degree in classics. also, how much do you think my parents would hate me if i tried to change majors 3 times in 3 years? i would be in undergrad forever. and it would be hilarious. also i have one of the worst profs to ever exist for my french grammar class. like im seriously considering purchasing a firearm. its really bad and its only the second day of the class. im going to die. the worst part is that i dont even need to go to it because its all just grammar but hes apparently going to be taking attendance every class and its mandatory. although i dont think he took attendance today so we'll see how long that lasts. ugh. so anyway. yeah. wheres steph?

physics is ick!

Prissy I don't know how you do it.. seriously.. soo boring and this is only "baby" physics.. aka grade 11 and 12... blehh. So as you can tell I'm in class and really boreddd 

reallly realllly bored... you can even ask colin hehehe...
"The only reason we stay awake is that he yells in a funny accent every 3.46 seconds." 
blah maybe i should go pretend to pay attention again.. love you guys <3 and someone better write in soon so I have something to respond to during my other boring classes!!!!

blehhhh.....

Ok so since no one has written this week, it totally means that I get to complain about my miserable cold! 

The past two days of classes weren't really all that fun what with my not being able to breathe through my nose and the whole coughing etc.. not to mention almost falling asleep.. but noreen gave me some meds yesterday and I went out and bought some... (and somehow spent 50$ on dry erase pens, vicks, sinutab, some more vicks, and some more stomach meds.) So I have been feeling better except kinda drugged up =p It doesn't help that my room smells like weed ALL the time and last night it was so strong I probably could've been high, except I was on other meds for my cold anyways so I probly wouldn't have even noticed...

Anyways I just figured I would say hi and be kinda whiney because thats my usual =D  And other than my cold and my stupid classes I'm actually having alot of fun.. Oh and it turns out that colin is really good friends with a girl I went to rangers with.. he saw my sweater and was like "oh you were in sleeping giant...." and I was like yeah I worked there for a summer... and he was like "oh do you know nadia?" and I said yeah and he was like yeah I knew I had seen taht sweater before.. hehehe so random. and awesome. And I should go do some work since I'm already behind on some of my reading!!

p.s. If I am ever talking to anyone on MSN and I go offline it could be because our internet frequently stops working!

Beer before liquor never been sicker....

Well, I definitely don't know how I'm not hung over.... maybe I'm still drunk =p I did get up and my room was spinning (at 9am)

I'm having so much fun at Guelph...  I went to a rugby game yesterday and then we drank a whole bunch (sorry for calling you at 3 in the morning steph) and its duncans birthday today which is going to be alot of fun.
 
Anyway's I'm having issues with typing probably because I'm kinda dizzy hehe.. but I wanted to show you guys who I'm talking about    and will be talking about all the time!!! =D

Above left to right: Emily, Brandon, ME!!, Colin
Below from left to right : Duncan, Alison, Josh, Brandon, Jaci, and Noreen and Alex wasn't there last night soo right now I don't have any pics of him...

um ps

ps, that was beautifully laid out but apparently this thing doesn't allow spaces between paragraphs and days so someone needs to tell me how to put dooies on here. yes, dooies.

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGIN' IN THE RAAAAIIIIN!!!

it's raining this morning but i'm soooo happy anyway! don't ask me why but i'm in a very very very VERY good mood! i went swimming on wednesday for the first time in, oh, 5 months, and pretty much felt like a beached wale. i went again today, and felt much better! i don't know how to put fancy dooies on this, ie pictures and schedules, so i will just write my schedule for now! when i figure out how to post shit, i will, but i don't feel like it right now! and yo priss, your schedule is baallllllllllllz!!!! yeah with a zEE! i honestly have no idea why i'm so happy today, but i hope it rubs off! i start classes on monday and i need to enjoy these last few days of gloriousness! also i went out last night and it was kind of fun but i really don't like dancing. so yeah, here it is! (i don't know when i'll be swimming for sure so i won't put in on for now). Monday: 10.30 - 12.20: English and Literary Tradition I 12.30 - 1.20: English and Literary Tradition Tutorial 1.30 - 2.20: Children's Literature Tuesday: 10.00 - 11.20: Reading Culture 11.30 - 12.50: Intro to Cognitive Psychology 2.30 - 3.50: Developmental Psychology: Infancy and Childhood Wednesday: 1.30 - 2.20: Children's Literature Thursday: 10.00 - 11.20: Reading Culture 11.30 - 12.50: Intro to Cognitive Psychology 2.30 - 3.50: Developmental Psychology: Infancy and Childhood Friday: 1.30 - 2.20: Children's Literature so the wednesday friday deal is balls, but whatever i've heard that that class if fantastic, so hopefully that holds up. it's a decent schedule, i like having stuff back-to-back rather than huge breaks. i'll be swimming probably three afternoons, ie, monday, wednesday, friday, and then mornings tuesday wednesday thursday. but that's tentative and tends to change when i don't feel like going! :) anyhoo, that's enough from me! tahtah ladies!

Meehh.....

Well, I will post my schedule when I have it all figured out, which may be a while because I never have time to do it. Also I have concluded that if Prissy had ever come here for engineering frosh week, she would pretty much die, or become a recluse. Some reasons include: the engineer frosh, are made to sizzle like bacon and eggs on the ground, or mosh when commanded to do so, had their hair gelled up (using I dont know what, apparantly a warm liquid that they blow dry to stay in place for days) and then either partly shaved (for the guys) and have objects such as water bottles or styrofoam cups inserted in to their hair as 'props' (mostly for girls) and then they all have their hair spray painted lovely colours. Their group leaders are dyed purple thus not allowed to enter any buildings, and some carry heavy chains, while most like to smack their purple leather jackets on the ground to intimidate and scare others. As the comedian said last night, "They dont need birth control, because their attitude is birth control enough. Their cheer is "How lame are you Frosh?" to which the correct response from the engineering frosh would be "We are so lame!". They also have to hold each others hands while moving/crossing the street, so that they dont get lost. How cute. I will write about this interesting week after tomorrow, when all the activities are finished, and I can sleep and rest and get myself sorted before classes. Man thats so crazy.

Tick tock tick tock

This is what my life looks like for the next four months. Care to share, laydeez? (That's a rhetorical question. Post your schedules.)

INTERNETSSSSS

my internets were broken last night so i got my room ALL organized! and the kitchen! and i vaulted myself into my gloriously high and large bed! i love my life! there are pictures on facebook of my room, which is FAAAAANTASTIC! i'm very happy to start school and very happy to be here! we're about to grab lunch (sarah is moving in today, weaver (katy) tomorrow!!!) all the first years move in today so we're going to check that shit out too. laterz! oh and my internets are fixed. obviously.

Well, well....

So now I'm here, all moved in. And today I saw how ridiculously close this university is to the lake. Of course I haven't yet wandered farther than the little corner in which I eat and live, but it's still nice. So is my roommate. She (Shi) actually is from Singapore, and her family was here to help her move in. Purdy cool stuff, they all seemed really nice. Uh yeah. so anyways, me and Heaz were posting random wiki things because, well, it was early and we had nothing to do. Also Em, youre link didnt work, but it probably will if you make a hyperlink (call it "Schedule" or something like that) and then link it to the webpage. EasyPeasy. Im thinking maybe I should be a bit social and get to know some of the people in my floor, even though we are all going to dinner together in a bit anyways. Hope all of you guys are having fun. I hope I will be soon too. (Not that I'm not having fun, its just that there really isnt much to do right now.)

Things I've Learned Today

1. After four days of constant Indian people and Indian food, the thought of either makes you a little sick. 2. The twins like to post useless Wikipedia articles. 3. I'm late to EVERY party. Why am I the last person to post?! In other news, Heaz and Amy, I passed by Guelph and the Loo and thought of you. Steph, I didn't pass Kingston but I thought of you anyways. Em, I passed London but I was watching Goal! 2 so I forgot to think of you. But after that I saw the part with a shirtless Iker in a pool, and I thought of you then, in the least-creepy way possible. This is an outrageously attractive picture of me at a hugely FOB restaurant in Toronto. Thought you might love it.

idea

i think we should all post our class schedules on here so that i always know where you guys are supposed to be. also we need to figure out what to change the format of that video to so we can post it on here as well. k so im trying to post the link for my schedule, can someone let me know if it works or not?

https://studentservices.uwo.ca/secure/services/CommonCode/PersonalTimetable.cfm?TTerm=1089

How Eggcellent!

So this morning, while waiting for departure because of clouds hugging us (and the ground), me and Heaz decided make us some good cooking, aka scrambled eggs on toast. yummy. When we cracked open the first egg, surprise surprise............it was twins!!! And so was the second, and third, and fourth and fifth, and sixth. So now I am just assuming that the whole box is like that, but of course I wont be around to find out unfortunately. And well, then we were looking it up on Wikipedia (duh, where else?). This is what I found.....

Some hens will lay double-yolked eggs as the result of unsynchronized production cycles. Although heredity causes some hens to have a higher propensity to lay double-yolked eggs, these occur more frequently as occasional abnormalities in young hens beginning to lay. Usually a double-yolked egg will be longer and thinner than an ordinary single-yolk egg. Double-yolked eggs occur rarely, only leading to observed successful hatchings under human intervention, as the unborn chickens would otherwise fight each other and die.

Aren't you guys glad that me and unborn Heaz didn't fight each other in the womb? Otherwise, who knows what would have happened......

stupid fog...

ok so I decided that I should complain, though its really Steph who should be complaining about being up to early, any ways its almost 6am and I've been awake almost 2 hours (if you assume I actually slept last night) and we can't leave because of the stupid fog.. ridiculous amounts of fog that is kind of dangerous going down the 401!! So you might be wondering what fog is exactly well the definition of fog according to Wikipedia is a cloud that is touching the ground!

"Fog is a cloud in contact with the ground. Stratus clouds are usually the only clouds that touch the ground. Fog differs from other clouds only in that fog touches the surface of the Earth. The same cloud that is not fog on lower ground may be fog where it contacts higher ground such as hilltops or mountain ridges. Fog is distinct from mist only in its density. Fog is defined as cloud which reduces visibility to less than 1 km, whereas mist is that which reduces visibility to less than 2 km. "

So basically I like fog (because clouds are kind of cool and I think it would be awesome to have a jar of cloud (not fog) because even though it would probably just look like air it would still be pretty cool.) but today I hate fog because if I had known it was going to be foggy and we couldn't drive anywhere I wouldn't have gotten up so early!

BLAH.

First post! We are all moving in on Saturday except Priss because she is staying here. Ode to 3 2nd years, and 2 1st years. Should be a good time all around.
