oh hayyyyy there blog

Yes, I'm still alive.  Grad School is no joke kids :P For the past two weeks I have considered my life a success if assignments are handed in on time (how well they are done, that remains to be seen lol), I eat SOMETHING (this may mean cereal and pumpkin pie for dinner scarfed down at 11pm when I finally got home from a 12 hour day on campus, and if I shower.  Hair not exactly did, practically no makeup, and a lot of comfy Lululemon.   This past week we had a cataloguing assignment due (that class can jump off a cliff, seriously.  at least the teacher can) and a reference question.  For the cataloguing assignment we had to choose three non-fiction adult books published after 2008, with one being part of a series, one with the title page in two languages, and one whatever we wanted as long as it was adult non-fiction.  It took my friend and I three freaking hours to find suitable books with all those ridiculous stipulations.  The reference question considered of us being "asked" by an imaginary patron for studies on injury rates in MMA, as he had a John Hopkins study and wondered if there were more.  I have to say, reference work kind of makes me feel like a Super Sleuth hehe.  Then I saw posters for the new Sherlock Holmes movie and I thought, AHA! I am exactly like Sherlock Holmes.  For real peeps, librarians are hard core.  We don't know everything but we can find anything...which is basically the same thing :D

I am officially on reading week, although we have another reference assignment due Monday (whyyyy prof why?!).  Thursday I'm heading up to Toronto to meet my nephew for the first time, and I am so freaking excited! I bought him the cutest little outfit and I want to go to Chapters to pick up The Very Hungry Caterpillar as well.  Like I'm ever going to give him a present that doesn't include at least one book lol.

I have sweet in sour beef stew in the crock pot that I'll have over rice, and it smells so good! Yay for real food!

Reading Week happenings

I know I have been a terrible blogger lately :( I have sooo many questions for my bloggy big sister, and I haven't even emailed her yet :( I really want to redesign my blog but darn school keeps getting in the way!

Reading Week was fantastic.  As I mentioned in an earlier entry, I went home.  Or did I? Hehe I did go back to BC, but I was 16 hours north of where my parents live and where I grew up.  I went to stay with my ex-boyfriend, and see if we could work "us" out.  I'm thrilled to say that we did work things out! We are officially back together.  S and I met when we were 16 at our summer job.  We stayed in contact (thank-you msn!) and in August of 2007 he asked me out.  We dated for almost a year and a half but broke up in December of 2008.  We were broken up for just over two years.  He is sweet, funny, and a lot of fun to be around.  I am smitten and blissfully happy right now : )

Reading Week!

As of 5pm on Thursday I am officially on vacation!  Actually there's going to be a lot of reading getting done this Reading Week-sadness! I have two essays to work on, four chapters to read for my Québec history class and two midterms to start preparing for.  They are on the same day, which really sucks!  Both are psych classes, which means a LOT of information to memorize.  I definitely should have taken child development 2 instead of brain and behaviour though-that class is hard! Stupid brain being all complicated lol. I'm never going to want to hear about neurons ever again after this semester is over lol.

 I am actually in Montréal right now.  I came up on Thursday and am waiting to go to the airport.  I'm going back to BC for Reading Week! It's the first time in my four years at Bishop's, so I'm hella excited haha.  I leave for the airport in three hours!!

bisous!

WILW!

I'm linking up with Jamie over at this kind of love for what I'm loving Wednesday!

I'm *loving* that I got to spend last weekend with my sweet friend Tara and her husband Aaron in Montreal.  We went shopping downtown and to the biodome where I saw the cutest animal ever:

This is a capybara! No the one at the biodome didn't have a purple harness, but seriously, how cute is he?! They look like giant swimming guinea pigs, so of course I want one hehe.

I'm *loving* that tomorrow is my last day of classes and then I am free for Reading Week!

I'm *loving* my Lululemon backpack.  Seriously the best backpack ever!

I'm *loving* the look of this place: The Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino, British Columbia.  Isn't it gorgeous?
