All Hallows Eve

So today was the really Halloween, but I kind felt like Halloween was already over.

I didnt have an alarm set this morning and I gave up on being in bed at about 11ish, not to mention my daddy called me at 11. And i got up and made perogies for breakfast and did some homework and tidied my room, and then I did a lot of procrastinating. Then at 3 Erica Katie Morganne Fabris and I went to the Haunted House in Rez which was decently scary and then we went trick or treating to all the RAs and got quite the haul. Then we say around for a bit until 6 an Erica Fabris and I went Trick or eating.

Trick or eating is when you go door to door asking for no perishable food, rather than Candy and it was soo much Fun, We filled Ericas trunk with probably a few hundred dollars worth of non perishable food that we collected and we also got some Candy too which is an added bonus. We got back at 8 and I was on such a high, and then I went to the gym and worked out for a bit.

Now I have a dilemma, I have candy, but I also have a photo shoot for the SGU calender on Saturday. I also have that bet going with Krity. I am torn. I am also torn because I have homework to do, but I also have an 8am lab, and Im thinking sleep is important, and that I will have time after my lab to do my homework which is due on Tuesday. So for now I will relax and get ready for bed and maybe help Erica unload her car.

Night!

P.S. Home in 42 days!!!

So Glad that tomorrow in Sunday!

Last night, sleeping was rough, I was up every couple of hours, and then at 6am someone is banging on my door, and it actually scared me a bit because they didn't say anything and I heard Erica's door get knocked on. I opened my door to find Kallie pacing and wondering where her phone is and we told her that Ryan and or Katy had her phone. And then I went back to my bed and for the nest little while all I hear is Kallie coming out of her room, walking down the hall and then back and I think she left the room once.

So I guess to sum things up I had a shitty sleep and I was out of bed by 11 and we had to get ready for Rez challenge and I had slept with a toque on my head to keep my hair from getting orange on the bed, and I out on m mad hatter costume and then we went down to the school to check out the craft fair and people were kinda staring at me and at 1 we had Rez Challenge, which was Halloween Skits and ours kinda sucked, we came in fourth and there was another girl with a mad hatter costume and hers was partially store bought and she won best costume and it kinda sucks, but then again I should be used to it, I never win anything.

There was also a twist at Rez challenge and the winning floor got to steal point from another floor so clearly they would steal our point and I dont think we are in first place anymore :( Oh well I guess we will have to make it up, but the next challenge is Volley Ball which didn;t go so well last year.

After Rez challenge I was FINALLY able to shower, and I was gross, I had to wash my hair 3 times to make sure I would not longer be a ginger, and then after I showered, I got somewhat dresssed and basically say around for most of the day until at like 10ish when Erica picked up Fabris and I, and she was with Tara and Nicole, and we went to A&W to get floats and they were sooo good and then we went tara's minus fabris to just hang out and we all sat around and watched movies and such and Tara's roommate Jenna was sooo drunk and so was he boyfriend as they were celebrating their 3 year anniversary and they're only 18 and 17, crazy i know. And Jenna was sooo funny, it was the first time she had been drunk and she said the funniest things like: I wish our Vacuum was like a stripper because then it would suck really hard, and how flax seed can apparently help guys "get it up" and also apparently she is a princess.

Anyways I guess all in all today was a good day considering not all the much happened and it was rather un productive.

Side note * I Go Home in 1 month and 12 days, YAY!!!

october 29th, halloween party at the roller dome

so day:
Halloween costume contest
two hours of class
then getting my costume ready
followed by a potluck at ritas which was soso, and then we all left because my hair and make up wasnt done, so erica, i, tara, nicole, julia and jenna went back to our room, where my hair got done orange and liz drunkenly did my makeup, but i loved it.

As this was occuring so was pre-drinking and soon my costume was complete and i took a pic to post on facebook so dan could have a sneak peak at my costume, though i made it my profile pic, so many got a sneak peak.

Then we did some room hopping until we caught the shuttle at 9:45 down to the rolller dome for the partty!!! Kallie sadly couldnt come to the roller dome and went to a party in town instead, I son;t know much about what happened to her, other than the fact that she was super drunk .

Once at the roller dome, Liz Katie erica and I did coat check and peed before getting our drink on, the deal was 7 drinks for 20, which isnt bad, we got some drinks and went out dancing and I quickly learned that dressing as a mad hatter is a good way to deter men from dancing with you. The hat and giant orange hair are apparently not turn ons.. lol. However apparently being the white rabbit is veery attractive to the guys as erica was frequently pursued by men, including one with a beard and baby and another dressed as a cow, I basically danced with my female friends and with myself, but it was good times, worth the 20$$$ ticket for sure. Erica and I had a kick ass time, the only downside is that the party ended at 1am and then we had to wait in the cold to catch a bus, and I didnt get my 7 drinks, i have 3 drink tickets left :(. Anyways we missed the first bus, but caught the second one and went to KEyoh to Tara's room where there was supposed to be breakfast,but there wasn't so Erica and I came home and Erica got her sleepover gear(to go sleepover at taras) and I made myself breakfast of turkey bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, and toast and it was awesome but now I feel like a fatty and I feel like I need to goto bed, because I have rez challenge at 1pm, which should be fun. I am basically sleeping in my costume, with my hair still orange and makeup on my face, anyways...bed time


night!!!

P.S. Tonight was awesome!!!!

The First Frost- Winter Approaches

So this morning when i looked out the window at first I thought it had snowed, actually it was just frost on the ground, which faded as the day went on.

I ended up only having one class today. My plant Bio class was canceled due to sickness which sucks, but it also allowed me to rest which was nice, I actually just git out of bed, I had been lying down for like 4 hours, I dont know if I really slept, But I rested, and the reason I am writing in my blog now, it because I don't know when I will be going to bed.

I also took today off from the gym, for health reasons, I really want to get better and I think my body just needs rest, at least I hope thats what it needs, because I have nothing else to give it.

Oh the Exam schedule got posted today, my last exam in the 11th, which is nice, I should be able to come home the 12th, I am just waiting for my flight to be booked, and now my count down can begin!!!!

So looking forward to home, but I have a lot of work to do before I get to go.

Half way Through the Week

Today was not a good day in terms of me feeling well. I had major difficulties focusing all day, and I just feel heavy, which is a weird feeling. My classes went okay minus the fact that I couldn't focus. And i did manage to get some things done today, but not as much as I would have liked.

I did manage to go to all my classes though, even stats, which sucked, and I was planning on going to bed right after stats, but clearly that didn't happen. I made waffles and hung out with Liz and Adam which was fun. And Also I may be able to come home in november!! if the weather is nice and if Liz goes home.

Night!

I think I may need another Blog

So before I get into why my blog is entitled the way it is, I'll sum up my day which wont take long. I got up at 9, showered had breakfast and went to go see my O chem prof for the answers for a quiz, and that went well. I learned that I understand the concepts I just need to practice so I can do the problems quicker. i stayed at the school until my O chem lecture, and that went well, after that i came back to rez for lunch, and do get some work done. i got my genetics assignment done and not much else before I had to goto Plant Bio, which was also good, I got my lab exam back and I got an 85, which is a solid mark I guess. After that I went to the gym, came home and made an awesome dinner, before watching Glee and it was a good episode and since then I have been trying to work on my halloween costume and I think it's gunna suck :(, but at least I have a cool hat.


Anyways on to the title of my Blog, I think I need a knew blog where I can just rant and not worry about who my words may hurt or what they might do. There has just been so much going on that I can't write about for many reasons. A lot of it, I'm only involved in because I have to live in, and other parts of it are other peoples secrets and events not mine so it would be rude for me to write about them.

I just wish there was a place somewhere where I could write out ALL my thoughts and maybe find someway to organize them and be able to do it in a way where I feel like someone at least knows what I'm going through, but may not know who I am. At least I think that's what I want...maybe it's not.. maybe I should just stop typing..

A rather long, but prodictive monday

8am lab exam - went well only 3-5 questions i didn't know

Following the lab exam, i finished two assignments, tidied my room which is once again a mess, but its because I am working on my Halloween costume.

Went to my classes, studied, got 9/10on my genetics assignment

survived classes until 6:30, came home
Made dinner, did some genetics notes
Has nice phone convo with father about life and people and general such things

went to the gym for an hourish with Morganne Williams (mentioning by full name in hopes that she could google herself. Came back and will work on halloween costume until bed. I'm feeling creative...

I think I pulled something :(

this morning i woke up late and wasn't planning on doing much, but then Erica informed me of some curling that was supposed to happen so at 12 we wandered down to wait to go curling and no one showed up, we waited around for like 15minutes and then we just gave up, and went and did other things, we went to books &co and when we were there we found out that people did go curling, and that they met in the Keyoh common lounge instead so we missed out, which really sucks.

We got nachos at books & co and they weren't as good as I remembered them, another disappointment. then we went to the public library to borrow some movies. We borrowed Slums in Beverly Hills and Fried Green Tomatoes, and when we got back we started to watch Slums in beverly hills as we did homework, and it was not at all what I expected, but I kinda liked it.


At 5:30, Erica tara kallie and I went out to dinner with edna who came in town today, we went to boston pizza and I asked for a colouring page which was fun, and the host looked at me really strangely but in the end, everyone but edna had a colouring page. Dinner was delicious and after dinner I was quite full, as was everyone else. We got back to rez and sat around for a bit and at 8 Erica and Kallie had soccer and I went to the gym, where I think I oulled something in my leg :( and I'm now kinda in pain which sucks.

I also have a lab exam at 8am, so I better be off to bed soon.


Night!

P.S. I wish I was home,

Another Day....

This morning I woke up at 5 and went back to bed and was up again at 7 and at 9 and finally at 11 I gave up on sleeping.

I spent my "morning" doing homework until I went to value village with Erica, Tara, Julia, and Rita, and that was fin, it was nice to get off rez.

Sadly I have been feeling sick since thursday night, and I was finally starting to feel better, but I guess things can make you not only emotionally sick, but physically sick too.

This evening was nothing special, a trip to walmart, and then Erica and I ate crunch and munch and watched the wedding singer.

I wish there was more I could say, but sadly there really isn't I guess I'll goto bed early or maybe just watch some tv in my room alone. Erica has already gone to bed.


Rough 7 weeks till I get to got home

Pet a Puppy DAY

The best thing about today was the fact that it was pet a puppy day and there were like 8 puppies and they were so cute and them came at a perfect time, I needed to pet a puppy.

Classes were soso, I didn't goto stats

there is still drama/ awkwardness.

I'm also getting sick again, yay. I keep sneezing and such and it's no fun.

I think I'll be going to bed early

Night!

Thursday, October 21, 2010

I thought things were turning around..

This morning started off well
I got up early, ate breakfast, and went down to the school at the same time Kallie and Erica did, then I sat in the cafe with Erica until 9:30 and then I went to see Guy(My O Chem Prof) about my midterm and a question he had asked up to do in class. And I was nervous like sick to my stomach nervous, luckily my nerves settled a bit as I went up to his office and when I got there things went quite well. I did the question right and when going over my midterm I ended up getting an extra mark, which was awesome. It didn't make a huge difference, but anything was better than the mark I had and now I know I can go and see him for help, I actually went to his office twice today, the second time I brought kallie because we both had same homework question.

After this is when the day went down hill.

To avoid spreading other people shit, I will just say that I'm still in the middle of something I don't want to be in the middle of, and I don't even know what I can say anymore.

After class and the SGU meeting, Erica and I went back to Rez and then decided that we wanted off campus so we ran away together and ended up and the public library and we looked at magazines and planned our weddings, lol and then the library closed and we went to DQ and got pumpkin pie blizzards, and they were awesome

Now Erica and I are going to the gym to walk the track, and yea.. thats basically life in a nut shell.

Sleep makes me far more rational

This morning I woke up feeling a bit better about life.
What happened has happened and I can't change it, but I can work hard to try and make it not happen again. So that is one of my new goals to work harder and study harder and do better.

I guess in reality this is a week of change. I'm exercising, studying, and trying to get healthy and do better and I hope I can keep it up.


Anyways back to reality.

My ecology tutorial went well, but it added to my work load, and when I got back to rez I worked on my Ecology assignment and packed up my stuff so i wouldn't have to come back to Rez between 12:30 and 6:30, I was going to get shit done :)

I went to my math lab which wasn't an awesome start to getting shit done because I learn basically nothing in that class, but after that class in genetics I basically finished the math assignment, all but one question and I survived the genetics lecture and the ecology lecture and then I went and did homework and such with Devon in the T&L building and I accomplished alot, and then we both had to goto stats, which sucked as usual, but I made it through, went home and had turkey soup for dinner, and then I worked on genetics until 9:30 and I went to the Rez council meeting and I felt a bit out of the loop but I ma goin to try harder to make it to the meetings and get my say in what goes on, I'm also hoping it will better my chances of being and an RA, but who knows.


Now I am in my room, alone and still sore from working out, example of how sore I am, I just sneezed and it hurt. I should be getting to bed soon though, I have to go see my chem prof in the morning. Wish me luck in doing that. I'll need it!

Things got worse.

This morning started off quite well. I got out of bed at 9:30 and went to the gym for some light cardio, as I am still sore from yesterday.

Then I cam home, showered, got dressed and made a good breakfast and went down to the school to meet kallie before O chem. And kallie was having a bad day, but she's doing a bit better which is good.
O chem went well until the end when we got our midterms back, and I wasn't expecting to do awesome but I was thinking maybe in the 60's or 70's, but I was way off. i almost failed. i think he pitied me and passed me.

And basically since that moment my day has been shitty. i have been upset, angry frustrated and basically just hating life. I didn't want to eat, but I forced myself to eat so I wouldnt feel any shittier.

After plant bio I basically have spent all my time in my room, in the dark watching tv.

I talked to my dad and he made me feel better, he usually does. But i still don't feel awesome.

I will live
(possibly in a dark hole)

A fairly productive Day

This morning I was up at 6 and my alarm didn't go off till 7 and when I got out of bed it was dark out. I hate it when the days get shorter and shorter.

My Lab this morning went well. I was done by 9:30, which was nice and then when I got home I went out with Erica because we both had things to mail off. I mailed Dan a Letter and I mailed the Blanket I made for Kali's baby Kinley down so it will be there in time for her baby shower, actually it will be there early, but better safe than sorry.

We also went to Kal Tire because Erica's car needed to have her tires torked, and we sat in the car and watched as the guy did it and we didn't know of the appropriate etiquette, it was raining, we didn;t know if we should get out of the car and we ended up just sitting there and Erica rolled down her window to say thanks and we drove off laugh over the whole situation.

When we got back home, I got on a real roll working on my Plant Bio Assignment, and I was so focused on it, that I was almost late for class and I had to run around frantically getting ready. I went to genetics alone, because today Kallie had officially dropped the class. And it was a shitty class, But I made it through and ecology was good and I got a bit of work done before my genetics tutorial. And it may have been the worst tutorial yet, we had to listen to a feminist scottish woman doing a podcast, it was no fun.

Stats was also no fun, but we did get our midterms back and the only questions I got wrong were the ones that I couldn't remember how to use my calculator for, but I still did well.

At 7 we had our floor meeting which consisted of snacks and decorating t-shirts with fabric paint. Mine has Dancing gangster carrots on it, it's quite impressive. I really like how it turned out and I look forward to wearing it to Rez Challenges. After the meeting I worked a bit on my genetics assignment which is a dumb one page essay, and then Kallie interrupted me (in a good way) and we ended up going to the gym and we worked hard. My triceps are killing me, and I am going to be sore tomorrow, but I am getting up early to go to the gym again, but I'm going to keep it light I don't want to kill myself.

Anyways I'm gunna get ready for bed.

Sunday, October 17, 2010

I guess things are a little better...

This morning I woke up late and my goal for the day was to avoid drama. And i guess I somewhat did that.

I ate a good breakfast and went to the gym and I thought my day was going to be a good one in terms of me eating healthier and being healthier.

Then when I got back from the gym I had to deal with drama which shouldn't come as a surprise. I have a feeling I will be dealing with drama for the rest of the year, which really sucks. Like i feel like the amount of stress is going to have a great affect on my health. Like I'm stressed so all I want to do is eat and lay about and do nothing and I feel sick and I just really don't like the way I'm feeling now. I just want it to be December so I can go home.

I did manage to be productive though, I finished my math assignment and my ecology assignment, and then I went and did finger painting which as some what helpful, and relaxing. and then I dyed some t-shirts purple and that's basically it.

NOt much happened, just more drama, more stress :(

Night!

Being Switzerland Sucks

So this morning I woke up late, and didn't want to even think of getting out of bed, and I should have know that once I got out of bed that the day wasn't going to go well.

Part of the Drama last night involved Kallie and Katy, and some betrayal of trust. That's all I'm going to say. That's their business not mine, but what is my business is that I'm (and Erica) stuck in the middle. before I get into that I will sum up what happened before things got bad.

I woke up, boiled the turkey bones and such to make a stock to make soup, I finished my baby blanket, I talked to my dad and Kristy on the phone, and then Erica and I went out to run some errands and it was nice to get out of the house. Our place is full of tension. Fabris spends most of her time in her room, because she wants to give Kallie space and not crowd her, and Kallie was at the school in the morning, but didn't stay there long.

After Erica and I go back I finshed making the turkey soup and I made dinner and the soup turned out well, which reminds me that I gotta go deal with that once Im done with my blog.

Erica and I also talked to both Katy and Kallie to let them know that we wouldn't pick sides and that we wanted to remain neutral.

Then things started getting not so good, Katy and Kallie started talking and Erica and I left to go see adams friends who had come in from calgary yesterday. And when we were there Kallie showed up and we went into the hall to talk, and we found out that things didn't go so well, and Kallie was pissed. I dont really know the details, all I know is that it didn't go well.

Then Erica and I went to Katie's room to escape all the shit that was going on in ours and we were both upset and angry that we had to be put in the middle of this and even though we don't want to be involved we don't really have a choice.

Then we decided that we needed to get out of Rez, We took a drive, Erica, Katie , Michael and I. We were just aimlessly driving and this led to something that made my night a bit better.

We pulled up next to red jeep with 3 girls in it and Michael liked what he saw so he wrote his number on a reciept and at the next light he held it up to the window and they rolled dow their window and said that they couldnt reach it. Now michael was determined. He switched seats with katie so he would be on the right side, but then they ended up in a left turn lane to Michael had to open the door, hump over Katie, give them the number and then get back into the car and like 30seconds later she called. It was so funny, they have a date tomorrow, Man michael is good.

Anyways also while on this drive Erica and Katie decided that they were going to go out with Michael tonight and I was not feeling it, hence why I am at home, and not out right now. I'm just not in a "let's go have a good time mood", I'm in a "Holy shit, i feel like life is gunna suck" kinda mood and I don't even know what I can do. So I'm gunna go put soup in the fridge and hope for the best.

Night!

This is the fucking twlightzone, man.

I don't even know where to begin, today was a day that will never be forgotten. So much happened, I hope that I am able to adequately sum up what happened.

This morning I tried to sleep in, but the sun woke me up and then I went grocery with Adam and kallie and I bought a plant that adam named Bethany. then I had some classes and the I got my genetics midterm back and I passed, and I got my ecology midterm back and I did well. Then I had to write my math midterm, and I forgot how to work my calculator. and Then we went to spicy greens and now Erica is going to take over for me.

ok so we had a meal at spicy greens. delish. we got a bunch of tings to share including 2 butter chickens, a cinnomen bun, styrofoam, and a weird thing. all was great. then we left and went home and hung out and drank and danced and picture taked and fun-ness. then me and chanel and kallie went to the gennie and had fun. kallie met some fun guys named angelo and jake. they were wicked. and we will have fun dancy times in the time to come. ok so we got some bottle caps bought by jimmy usher. thanks man. and then the twilight happened.

I'm just going to sum this up in he simplest way
EVERYONE but me(Chanel) seemed to hook up tonight.

I didnt really enjoy the last hour or so at the Genny, I wanted to leave, and I kinda sat alone for awhile, and then finally we went home and Angelo gave me a piggy back from the bus loop all the way up to Rez, I want us to be best friends!

Then when we got back we went to adam's room to meet his friends and we ended up just waking them up, I dont think they like us and now we are all sitting in the hallway.

Me, Erica, morganne, Kallie, Adam, Sheldon(adams friend) and simon(adams roomie)

There is so much more that could be written, but I don't want to put other peoples personal lives online, even if I am involved in it.

Night!

It's almost the weekend

So Today was thursday, though now technically it's friday, why am I posting so late?
I was at the movies, I saw Life as we Know it, and pathetically enough I had to look at the ticket in order to remember the name of the movie.

So other than the movie that I saw today some other things happened.

I had an O Chem midterm that i think went okay.

Then I completed all the major components of the Baby blanket that I am making for Kali's baby Kinley who should b born late november

I went to plant Bio which was average and to an SGU (students for a green University) meeting which went super well. During this meeting we were told that different clubs could sign up for the PGPIRG Nude calendar, and there would be group shots taken and Kallie and I as well as a few other signed up to be involved and thats all I'm saying for now

Also Erica returned today and her courses have finally come in.

I also make Thanksgiving pizza the right way :) and it was delicious,

Anyways I gotta call Dan

Night!

I almost forgot

I almost forgot to write in my blog, but now I have remembered.

Today was rather shitty, my leg has been numb for awhile now, which is unpleasant

And i've been homesick, but luckily I got to talk to Kristy and my mom and now Dan on the phone, which was making me feel a bit better.

My classes were okay, nothing super special.

Anyways My bed is beckoning me

Night!

Today was kind of a sad day..

This morning I woke up knowing that it was Dan's last Day in PG, but we agreed not to get all sad and down with the fact that he was leaving and that we wont see each other until December. We were only allowed to get sad once we had actually separated, and I managed to prevent myself from being sad until then.

This morning I was awoken by a text from Kallie, who sadly is getting sick :( and she wanted me to bring her some tea and a bagel to class, so Obviously I made her tea and a bagel and grabbed her a sweater and while I was making myself breakfast, Dan emerged from my room and he was going to try and scare me, but as I have told him before, he can't sneak up on me :P

Then we talked while I ate my breakfast and then I had to get dressed and then we waited until I had to goto class and just before I left Adam stopped by to say hello, and I left the two of them together and I went off to O Chem

O Chem was fine, we did review, which was helpful. I'm not super worried for the midterm, I am worried, just not super worried.

I Got back from class and Dan was playing starcraft so I made some macaroni and cheese, which we shared even though I know Dan can eat a hell of a lot more than that. And then I waited for him to finish his game, and we just kinda sat there like it was yesterday, talking... It almost felt like he wasn't leaving.

Then came the time for us to get ready to go and wait for the Airporter to come and pick Dan up. Before we left Adam stopped by to say Bye to Dan because he's just that nice of a guy. Then Dan made sure he wasn't 'forgetting' anything...though luckily he did forget something so I have proof that he was here :)

Then we went down and we were going to wait outside but it was so flipping cold that we just waited in the lobby area and luckily we went down before 3 because the airporter showed up at 2:50, Dan and I said our Goodbyes and he asked the Lady Driver if they could throw me in the back, sadly I don't count as luggage.

Then I walked back into Rez alone and sad, so I stopped by at Katie and Liz's room for some company and I was offered cheese cake but I declined, and then I sulked back to my room where I was going to reassemble the living room, but then instead I posted the thanksgiving photos on Facebook and tagged and put captions with them, I didn't have time to finish before I had to goto class, but after Plant Bio I finished tagging and captioning the photos, I also scanned, Mine Erica's and Dan's photobooth pics so I could put them up on facebook too.

Then I went grocery shopping and ended up running into Liz at SaveON and she gave me a ride home which was awesome. Thanks again Liz. Then I watched Glee, ate leftover pancakes and knit while being sad. Kallie came home and it was nice to have the company.

Then we did a bit of studying and then everyone decided to goto bed early, so I am now writing in my blog before getting into my PJ's and crawling into my empty bed.

I don't like being sad.

Night!

P.S. I miss you

A Day of not all that much

This morning, Dan and I woke up at 8 to say goodbye to Erica before she left on her long drive home to kitimat. She stayed for the thanksgiving weekend, so she has now gone home to spend some time with her family and so on an so forth.

To be honest, nothing really happened today.

I made breakfast and watched a shit ton of youtube videos with Dan and then we watched Shark tale and we had Thanksgiving Pizza for dinner, minus the stuffing because it was all eaten yesterday :(, but it will be made with all components once erica returns.


That's really all I can say..

Also Kinda sad that Dan leaves tomorrow :(


Night!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving

Today was a tiring but rewarding day. I woke up just before 9 and made a pancake breakfast for everyone, I made regular pancakes and chocolate chip pancakes for morganne :) and they were delicious I might add.

At about 10:30 the thanksgiving Prep began, Erica and i began to thaw the turkeys in the sinks because they were still frozen after thawing in the fridge for days.

Erica was my turkey Su Chef, we each picked out turkey, Erica's was named Marsipan and mine was named Geraldine(no clue if that is spelled right). We then had to be brave and take the neck and giblets out of the turkeys cavities. I went first and got out all the stuff, then Erica being bold and brave reached inside of marsipan and pulled out the neck and giblets with great triumph. Next we had to give the turkeys a Hot water enema to help with the thawing process, another thing that neither one of us had ever experienced, but we did well. After the enemas, we left them to thaw in sinks of cold water.

Then we waited Until it was time to prep the turkeys to be cooked and by this time we had arranged our living room so that we had four table and a shit ton of chairs for all 22 of our guests, except one didn't show up so it was only 21.

Erica and I Prepped the turkeys, by massaging under their skin with butter and seasoning them with oregano, salt, and pepper. We also stuffed them with leeks, celery and carrots to keep things moist and to add a bit of flavour. We got the turkeys in the ovens just after one.

Then we had some time to kill until we had to start doing other prep work, and that time in between prep work was useless, it was just a lot of sitting around. Then the crazy prep began, and there was lots of peeling and chopping and boiling and cooking and the cooking part was slmost all me, Fabris did the squash and the cauliflower, I did all the potatoes, cabbage, carrots broccoli, ect and it was alot of work, but we timed it welll. People started arriving just as the turkeys were coming out and they came out beautifully :), they were golden and cooked quite well and then we put some people to work mashing potatoes and such and before I knew it, our place was FULL of people and they had brought pies and other delicious items and sangria and yea. Then everyone was sitting down and I was still in the kitchen, I'm pretty sure I was in the kitchen basically all day.

Eventually everyone was given permission to start eating but I was still in the kitchen waiting for the sweet potatoes to finish, eventually I gave up and went and sat down and Dan who had been waiting in the kitchen with me also sat down. It was finally time for me to eat and the food was awesome and I even tried turkey neck, which is surprisingly good, though it looks and smells not so appealing, and then after a lot of eating the clean up before desert began and Coutenay and Adam helped out with the dishes, as dis others, and then we all had pie, we had four pies, all pumpkin, all homemade, all delicious :D

After pie, there was some silliness, some whipped cream fights, some cleaning and oh so much more, but to be honest, I have a headache so typing this is not very pleasant.

To Sum up My Day:

Today I cooked dinner for 21 people, with help of course
The guests were many and all were friends or if they weren;t friends before, they are closer to being friends now
The guests consisted of Myself, Dan, Erica, Katy, Kallie, Morganne, Adam, Micheal Williams, Scott, Jade, Cam, Ryan, Mark, Danny, Alexie, Nadia, Taylor, Kelsey, Courtenay, Jenna, Shannon.

Today I am thankful for many things, one of the most important being that I have friends who can make me feel like I'm with family when I'm 900km away from family. I'm also thankful that I have a boyfriend who would fly up to visit me on thanksgiving. I'm thankful that everyone was so grateful for the dinner and that everyone enjoyed it. And I'm thankful for more than that.


Night!

So Today i will actually write a proper entry

So this morning i was woken up by a text from Katy at 10 to 9 in the morning because there was apparently a bug in the bathroom that gave her the willies... but I didn't get out of bed until like 10:30, which was kinda nice, but I didn't have a super awesome sleep

*Side note, the wind right now is soo crazy, it sounds like there is an epic wind battle going on outside right now and even through closed windows you can hear it*

Today was a decent Day, Dan Erica and I went to Walmart and we spent a lot of time there especially in the toy section... we maybe have played bopit for a while and we found this creepy toy that would repeat everything you said, and we also found some cool halloween decorations and then we ended up and the PG mall because Erica wanted to get herself a Satchel for when we go out and she found a super nice one and it was purchased.

We also all went into a photobooth, and someone had never been in a photobooth. We got some awesome shots and they 're stickers! Though I don;t know yet of an appropriate location to put the sticker, but I will eventually think of somewhere to put it.

Then we realized that the Rez thanksgiving potluck was starting in 30minutes and we still had to assemble our platter of pita and tzatziki, and if anyone asks, i made it from scratch......

The potluck was decent, but the turkey wasn't going to be there for 45min, so we went back to our room and sat around and Dan was being somewhat antisocial and watching youtube videos in my room, which is what he doing right now too :P Then we rearranged out room in prep for tomorrow, and honestly I don't think tomorrow is going to go super awesome, I fell as though nothing has really been planned out.... But i guess we will find out tomorrow how things will work out. Also we are now up to 22 guests, crazy, I know.

We then watched the beginning of the Canucks Game and everyone was a little harsh on Dan for being a Canucks fan and then we ended up watching two and a half men instead.

At 9 we went down to the movies/ london drugs and I bought a little too much Candy :S and we went to see Easy A, we being Adam, Kallie, Morganne, Erica, Dan, Katy and I, and it was pretty good movie, but the best thing happened when we got back when Adam let me DRIVE HIS car :D, and man I love his car, I want to steal it, I got to drive it around the parking lot and then around ring road and then I parked in beautifully in it's correct spot and now. It's just Dan and i and I dunno what we will do, but I'm kinda tired from a long day, and tomorrow is going to be even longer.

The Day NewDan2 Finally Came

So I almost forgot to write in my blog because someone *aka Dan* didn't remind me too and now I'm tired so this will be a short entry


This morning I was up at 8am, and then I got ready and went to Gramas to get my package and went to Tim Hortons with Erica and 'Outback' Dan, and we went to the airport to swap dan's. My dan was coming and outback dan was leaving.


Dan came, it was awesome
I kept thinking it was Saturday

we didn't do all that much and now I'm tired and I just wanna sleep so I will write more tomorrow


Night!

Tomorrow is FRIDAY!

So going out last night was probably not the best idea, I have been soo tired, all day, and I slept in until 10.

Focusing in Ochem was so hard and I feel like I didn't fully understand what I should have understood, and I was glad when it was over, and then I went back to rez to make brownies and to do laundry, the brownies turned out awesome and the laundry well, it kinda sucked because one of the dryers was messed up and ate my money without drying my clothes but in the end I have clean dry clothes ready to go at just after 4, then I had to goto plant bio, and it was good, I found it a little hard to focus/stay awake, and we got our midterms back today, and I am pleased with my 91%, it's a good way to start off a class :)

Then I went back to Rez rather than going to SGU meeting because I was sooo tired, but when I got back I was reminded that I still had to make my bed and do some other things aswell and I ended up not really resting and instead I made my bed, started a few assignments and tried to make it so I would have as little do do as possible this weekend and I think I accomplished that :)

Now obviously the reason I don't want to do school things this weekend is because Dan is coming to visit :D in just over 12 hours I might add. Also it's thanksgiving and I just want to be able to relax and have fun.

Sadly I'm still not 100% better, but there's nothing I can do now, Dan will be here in the morning so.... I guess he'll just have to accept that I'm still not healthy, which I know he does.

Anyways I`m tired and I gotta be up somewhat early tomorrow but not crazy early and I have to make sure that everything is good to go


Night!

P.S. see you in the morning :)

going out on a wednesday... good way to recover from midterms

so this morning was a usual wednesday, i had my ecology tutorial, finished the assignment after the tutorial, and the fabris and i went grocery shopping and got stuff for thanksgiving, and we almost missed the bus up because we were waiting for fabris' prescription to be filled.


then i had my lab lab, which was the most useless piece of shit ever.

following that i had my genetics midterm, which was basically a huge fail, though i hope i passed,
immediately after that i had my ecology midterm which was a lot better, and then I had two hours to kill before my stats which I had to goto because I told myself that if I didnt want to goto class on Friday i had to go on Monday and Wednesday

Then because it was a Wednesday, we decided it was a good idea to go out to the Rum Jungle because it was wooble wednesday , so we went and by we i mean Kallie, Erica, Liz, Katie, Fabris and I and we paid the two dollars cover and walked in and there was NO ONE there it was a dead and there was no one dancing and there was shitty music, so we decided we would have to start the dancing so we tried to request a song but the DJ had no good dance music, so we just danced to the crap that was playing and we brought people to the dance floor which was kinda cool.

Then we took a break from the bad music and these three scrubs walked up to us and one started hitting on Kallie hard, he told me that he was kinda into her and such things , he wanted me to hook them up, hahahahahahahahahahahaha FAT CHANCE! and Erica was hit on but this not as creepy scrub, and the other guys were kinda coolish.

Matt was the creep who was hitting on Kallie, he was also 28 years old and Kallie is 18 and he was well aware of this fact
brayden was hitting on Erica, he told her that he liked to look at her and that she looked like a real sweetheart
Pat was the one who lied about everyone elses names and was kind of a fool but in a good way
and then there was Greg, greg was nice and not creepy.

BTW - Matt's friends knew he wasn't getting any

Matt provided us with the most entertainment, he would NOT leave kallie alone, but I was keeping my eye on her and she seemed to be handling herself okay and I was ready to get involved if need be, which did happen later, but I am getting ahead of myself

So we danced a bit more, chatted with the guys a bit more and at 11:30 Fabris, Katie and Liz went home, which was kinda sad, but that meant the tres amigos were left to rock the rum jungle alone! and the other guys except for Matt left, Matt seriously wanted Kallie to go home with him and that wasn't going to happen.

At one point, we were on the dance floor and he joined us and was the worst dancer ever and he like picked Kallie up and it was awkward and like people were watching, it was so awkward and then Finally Kallie told him off, and he went away in somewhat of a tiff.

Then later on he came back and grabbed me and I told him that I don't need a dance partner, and he told me that we could dance together and told him that I danced alone, and finally he got the hint and left all angry again, he was rather concerning. there was also this crazy Dancer guy who kallie danced with and Matt stood up and looked so pissed.

Eventually we got tired of dancing and lindsey was going to pick us up and one and we were sitting and trying to avoid matt who had basically just been angrily drinking, and then crazy dancer guy and his friend came over to chat us up and offer us drinks their names were John and Serel and they were nice guys. While we were chatting with them matt came over, sat next to kallie and got all clingy and the left, and John and Serel assumed that we knew him, but we explained the situation and they thought we was a bad dancer, which was funny that they had been watching and they had noticed his shitty dancing from afar. they also invited us to go smoke a joint with them back at their place...that wasn't going to happen, but they weren't pushy. some funny things Serel said upon finding out we lived in Rez
Serel "Kicking out the freshmen" "ripping up the dance floor"


The fricken matt came back and like pulled Kallie onto his lap and did not wanna let her go, and it was decided that we would just go an wait outside, so we told John and Serel that we were leaving and then I told matt that we were leaving and he would still not let go of kallie and he asked her if she would go home with him, obviously she said no and then we pulled Kallie away form him and booked it outta there and waited for lindsey

the we got Mcdonalds, ate it in the hallway, I won some random prize and I dont even really know what it was on the monopoly game, and umm yea thats bascailly it.

Also tonight was kinda weird because Dan went to be before me which doesn't happen oftem

Night!!

P.S SOOO EXCITED FOR FRIDAY!!!!!

One Midterm Down...

I actually did manage to get some sleep last night, it wasn't a lot but it was more than I got Sunday night.

i actually enjoyed Organic Chemistry today, we just did a lot of sample mechanisms and such and i was actually understanding what was going on.

Then I did a variety of studying and has lunch before my plant Bio midterm which actually went quite well, but I wasn't at all worried about it. My guess is that I got 49/58, which is a solid mark. however I'm not so confident about the midterms that I have tomorrow.

I'm actually quite nervous for tomorrow. My genetics midterm is going to be not fun at all and I am still worried about my ecology, I feel like I don't know enough about the concepts to be able to write about them, oh well. Not much I can do now.

I've been having trouble focusing, due to the fact that I am too excited, that may also be part of the reason why I haven't been sleeping well. I just can't seem to relax or focus or really do much of anything that's productive, luckily I only have to keep my act together until Friday and I think I can make it.

Oh we got our turkeys today, so we now have like 30 pounds of turkey in our fridge and we also got a Good Food Box and for those who don't know A Good Food Box is a box filled with local fruits and vegetables all for the very reasonable price of 15 dollars.

Anyways I plan on watching sex and the city because nothing else is really on and then I will probably goto bed early.

2 More Days

Night!

When the Crazies wear off....

Last night was a horrific sleep, I just kept tossing and turning and I don't even know if I got any sleep to be honest, and before I knew it my alarm went off and I had to get out of bed before the alarm of death went off. I dragged myself out of bed and got ready for my plant Bio Lab and Kallie and I sauntered down to the school for our 8am lab, which now kind of feels like yesterday.

The lab was good, it was fun and informative and it was over by 10 which was nice, and I feel as though I learned a lot.

Then I had like 3 hours to kill so i cleaned my room and studied ecology, and ate lunch and drank tea and killed time until genetics at 1:30, and genetics was rough as usual, Kallie and I wanted to throw nibs and Brent Murray and hit him in the head. We laughed hard, a little too hard considering we were in class.

Ecology was not the most interesting lecture and I was having difficulty staying awake due to my lack of sleep, and then in Ecology there were alot of nibs passed down the line of people. Because yes we take up an entire row.

After ecology I went to the 4th floor of the T&A building to do some ecology studying until my genetics tutorial. and it was a rough tutorial, I wanted to Die, stupid Marcello and being super unclear about everything.

I survived that and went to stats were I almost died, but managed to live and I handed in my assignment, and then went to Rez and was confused as to why no one was home.

Then i was surprised by Erica and Katy yelling from down the hallway "Chanel if you are home, open the door" So I open the door and there's Erica with a laundry basket with 8 slurpees in it and then Fabris had a tray with another 3 or possibly four to be honest i was so surprised by the whole event that my ability to recollect what happened may be skewed. Then they went to deliver them to our friends, and while they were gone I ate leftover lasagna, and then they returned and I did some knitting and other boring type things and I should be going to bed because I am so tired and I am hoping that my attempt at sleeping will go better tonight than it did last night.

Some Facts about my Week
1.) I have a midterm tomorrow
2.) we get two turkeys tomorrow
3.) I have two midterms on Wednesday
4.) Thursday will be a good day

Gotta Love it when Erica gets the Crazies

SO this morning my alarm scared me, because i forgot that I set it and then I thought it was monday and then I thought it was 2 and a half hours late for my lab and it was quite a panic until I realized it was Sunday.

All in all it was a good Sunday
I attended two whole study groups, made chili and stuffed mushrooms and had Lasagna for dinner and it was all delicious. After Dinner some crazy things started happening....

Erica decided that she wanted to draw a picture, the original Idea for the photo was me and a hobbit, but that turned into a Hobbit holding hands with all the roomies of S310 including honourary ones, aka Adam. And I don't know if it was the sharpies or just the plain craziness of us all coming together but there was a lot of uncontrollable laughter and such things,
Then Kallie and Erica went to soccer and when they returned it was time for Plant Bio Jeaprody, which was called Bioprody or something along those lines and Kallie and I were put against one another.... I still don't know who the winner was, but it was a great study thing and Erica and Fabris were able to help Kallie and I study which was a bonus, because it was roomie bonding time and study time. The best of both worlds.

After the studying some more crazy picture drawing took place. Erica Drew a Dinoscape complete with Us in a Jeep and several undiscovered Dinosaurs. I did a boxing match between the prodigy of the 3 little pigs Vs, The off spring of the big bad wolf, crossed with a troll, and the pigs won, because one of them is kinda crazy and has a taste for blood.
Fabris made frames for the photos and they are now all on our wall and we will eventually fill the wall and if you are lucky you will one day get to see the photos in person to understand how truley amazing they are.

*Side Note*
SO EXCITED FOR FRIDAY!
Can't wait to see you xoxo


Night!

October 2nd - A rather Boring Title

So this morning I did not want to get out of bed, I thought that my fever was gone until about 10am when I started getting warm and sweating and it was a sad realization that my fever was still here.

I finally got out of bed at 1 and then I showered and I actually was starting to feel better and I was a little bit productive, I got my math Assignment done, which is good.

Kallie's Family came into town today and brought her up another bike, so we now have two bikes which is rather interesting, they also took us to canadian Tire and we all went to Pizza hut for dinner, but sadly somehow her family's hotel reservation got canceled and they ended up having to go home early which kinda sucked, but it worked out ok.

After getting back from Pizza Hut I got a tiny bit of studying done before going to the movies with Erica, Kallie, Morganne, Tara, Julia, Teal, Jenna, Fabris, Liz, Adam, 'outback' dan, gabe. Kallie didn't stay for the movie. We went and saw the Social Network. And i personally really liked it and Morganne liked it too. Erica thought that it didn't live up to the hype. But I think she still liked it. And we all managed to get rides up to the university which is nice because that way we didn't have to wait 40minutes for a bus.


Night!

P.S. See you in 5 days xoxo

Another Day with me mostly in bed

This morning I wanted to sleep in but I was up several times and gave up on staying in bed at like 11:30

I ended up only going to one class, and Now I feel pretty shitty
I have a slight fever and my head hurts and I just plain don't feel good and I'm kinda sad because I thought that everyone was staying in tonight, but now they are apparently going to out for drinks and maybe goto to the generator but I am in condition to go :(

And now I think I may actually miss out on some fun, but if I want to get better I have no choice. anyways I'm going back to bed

Night!
