Reading Week

Things to do while at home alone


1. Watch movies with the sound at full blast (well as much as my ears could handle)

2. Occasionally scream/yell cause no one is there

3. Actually cook a real meal because you can actually use the whole oven/stove.

4. Look for pennies and find this in the couches.....disgusting

5.  Do homework.. lots of it

5.1  Realize that you have a lot to do still and then cry because you realize how much you suck at doing this sometimes and have a complete breakdown and wonder why you're even here. Yeah, that happened.

 5.2 Get over-yourself, stop crying and go to bed, and maybe have some cheese to feel better.

Snippits of January

Last month there was a weekend where it was incredibly warm. We decided to go to the art gallery...mostly because it is free.

In the top part of the building they had this great view of the river. 

I'm taking an Aboriginal history class and the Prof. encouraged us to go see the Idle No More Movement taking place at the bridge. I did. It was boring. I also realized on my walk home that I was listening to British Marching music on my ipod, music that I find makes me walk faster because I think I'm actually marching... I'm so lame. 

Snow, melt, rain, sun, snow, melt, rain, sun, aandd repeat.

Escaping to the river/bridge  to get away from wacko roommates.

Blessed

I'm so blessed to have this wonderful woman in my life. She is full of wisdom, patience and many other virtues. I'm so thankful that she listens to my hurts,worries, and questions and she provides such meaningful advice. She's also hilarious and just cheers me up :).  Tonight is a happy night. 

I'm Hurt

ggaahh. what's worse than an argument with your brother? one over skype. what a great start to this week. I don't know what to dooo. Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.Col. 3:13 Why is this so haard??

First Week

Friday, yay, first week of class, done. In the beginning of this week I messed up my whole schedule mostly after talking to everyone else trying to change courses for history. I ended up attempting to take  theater history which was a horrible idea. I mean when the prof clearly distinguishes by the raising of hands which students are drama students and which one's aren't and then she and the drama students make fun of other students, mainly the history one, that was it. I was done. 

 All is well now and I'm ready to just get back to work. 

This was from New Year's Eve when Mairi came to spend the night with me and Emily also came to go to an all-nighter with Sarah. 

Mairi and I wen to Nathan Philips Square which had an outdoor concert as well as skating. Before we were allowed to skate there was a Disney skating show, which is the only picture I really have of the evening. We were cold and slightly bored so we left around 10:30 and ended being on the road for 2013 haha, still lots of fun :).

I just discovered this on my phone yesterday from when Emily was at our house. I love her lots :).

I am also house/apartment hunting, which is really time consuming and annoyingg. I hate finding places to live, and moving...again.  Buutt at least I would no longer be living with 5 girls, oh gosh the drama that ensues.  Who knew that girls could actually be so messy and disgusting?  Liiikee today, one of my roommates who is the youngest and clearly comes from a very spoiled background, actually cleaned the washroom upstairs that she shares with two others. It was shocking because she never cleans or picks up after herself.

 Just went I had hope that she had changed her habits, I overheard her talking to another roommate (who is equally untidy) stating,  " I cleaned the washroom and put another light bulb in, now it's so bright and clean."   

Roommate 2 " oh yay!, I love when things are clean." 

Me (in my head) "oh really, that's a lie"  

Roommate 1, "Yeah but I probably won't want to clean it again and now that there is a new light bulb we will be able to see the dirt more when it gets dirty". 

Roommate 2, " Yeah, that's true..hhm"  

Roommate 1, " I know! When it starts getting dirty we can just take the other light-bulb out so that we don't see the dirt".  

Roommate 2, "That's a great idea!".

They seriously thought it was the greatest idea ever. I sat there staring at them in utter disbelief.  So ridiculous.  

I really do enjoy living here, it's just sometimes... I don't know, I thought I was messy...which I am, but how some things look around here... scares me. haha

Things of December and Christmas

Earlier this month, myself and some of my roommates went to the Santa Parade. I really enjoy parades for some reason.

Standing on horses!

Danielle and I.

During exam time, Leddy was of course super hot, but it got so bad that the doors were TIED open to let fresh air in and the librarians had fans for themselves.

Not only was there vandalism of my street but also on campus... although it only amounted to all of these pole things being knocked over, why someone would take the time to do this I do not know... haha.

Yummy food had with my momma at home.

Now that my parents church basically sees me as a heathen and wishes to talk/lecture me upon appearance, (I may have some bitterness against being lectured time and time again over being baptized ..gosh I'm so rebellious...nat) I've been going to a few churches in the area. This was a mega-church in Mississauga called Elevation, where I got a free turkey after! 

My mother had refused to cook a turkey and since this was my turkey I decided to take a stab at it. 

Three hours later, turkey and muffins!

Every year David gives each girl a gift, this year he gave a gift to myself and my mom, or as David would write "all the grils and Mom".

Apparently my parents still think of me as quite childish. Toy Story pillowcase and lego figures.

And Tinkertoy! I had and loved it as a kid but it had disappeared over the years. My parents got me some for Christmas and I am not ashamed to state that I played with it all day, I made a crane and a tractor. :)

That is all for now.
