I know this may seem like an odd title, but I am excited for valentine day. I get to surprise Dan, and I get to be Brittany's valentine as well. It will be a fantabulous day, but thats two weeks from now, so I will get back to the present
Today.
I was up at 8:30, to get ready for class, we actually I was up before then, but refused to move until my alarm went off at 8:30.
Fabris joined me in my physics class because she needed help with Her Intro to Ecology and I told her that I would not skip class to help her, so she came and I helped her in class.
After physics I killed time until BioChem and it was an average class, but sadly we did not get out early. After Bio Chem I had to wait until 1 to go see Guy and get my marked changed on an assignment, and Devon and I also worked on the OChem assignment that is due tomorrow.
Then I had some time to kill before my physics lab, so I sat around, printed off notes, ate some snacks, etc, etc.
Then came my physics lab which wasn't as big of disaster as last week, the worst part was that I forgot to write something down, didn't realize it until I was back in rez and then had to go all the way back to get it but Fabris came with me.
Then I finished my lab and Fabris and I made some baked pasta but we made a little too much so we will be eating it for quite awhile but thats okay because it was delicious.
I did notes until 8 and then went to the gym with fabris and kallie, it was good and then I watched the bachelor, and took a shower and now I am skyping with Dan, so I gotta go.

A day of being productive in the wrong way...
Today was supposed to be a day of productivity, and in a way it was.
I did things that are due in March, and things that are due after reading break, but as for things for this week and next week, I did not get much done.
I spent a lot of time watching tv and movies and such and no I'm skyping with Dan, due to his lack of phone

Today I will not forget
This morning I was up early for a Saturday because Today was the day of Carousel. And for those who don't know Carousel is the interviewing process that you have to go through in order to become and RA.
After breakfast. Courtenay, Morganne, Liz and I walked down together as we had all applied.
We broke off into groups and had to go about doing activities as a group
Activity one was a Day in the Life
Basically we had to prioritize and organize our day
It was a fun activity, but when we were presenting one girl in my group talked over everyone and didn't give everyone an equal chance to explain why we had organized our day in such a way and this was rather bothersome.
But The Day Continued
Activity two was desert island
We had to pick 6 things from a list that we would want to have and prioritize them.
We picked, a knife, flint, rope, ponchos, a bucket and penicillin.
And then we had to do an interpretive dance relating to what we would bring
The Day Continued
Activity three was a programming event
We had to plan an event centered around an issue relating to minorities and such, it was the most serious of all events.
The Day Continued
Activity four was a true colours personality test
This was cool, it was a micro version of the real True Colours personality test, but i learned that I was a tie between Orange and Green, but Blue and Gold were close behind, my scores were 14,14,11,11.
After the activities we had to have a one on one interview with Rob an a returner chat with two returning RAs
Both of these went well for me, so overall a good experience, and I will find out on the 11th of February if I get it, so until then, my life is kind of up in the air.
After all that Morganne Liz and I went to Walmart and we met up with Darrin and Scott and Kealy and Courtenay at McDonalds For lunch.
Then we did some grocery shopping and Morganne Liz and I spent soo much time in walmart, but it was sooo much fun :) I spent too much money, but that's okay.
After Walmart we went for Pho with Katy, Tara and Julia and It was delicious and I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow, which is awesome. Then we cam back to rez and watched How to Train Your Dragon. I love that movie.
Thanks Dan for giving it to me. Speaking of Dan, I really hate not being able to text him, it makes me kinda sad, I have things I want to say, but I can't.
Interms of general life, I'm feeling soso, I have moments when I feel good, and moments when I feel really annoyed and frustrated with life and people....
Anyways, I'm stoked that ERICA is coming next week. I miss that Girl soooo very much. I am also stoked that in 2 weeks I'll be home for a week. I need it, I really do. Anyways I've had a long day and I think I want to curl up in bed.

1 week till Erica Arrives :)
Once again, last night, my sleep was disturbed my snowplows :( They kept me up till 12ish and woke me up again at 3 :(
This lack of sleep is becoming frustrating.
I'm tired and cranky and I don't enjoy it, anyways.
This morning I got out of bed at 7 to get ready for my 8am lab, which was done in around an hour and I was settled back in Rez by 9:30. I then decided to do some invert notes and watch How to Train your Dragon, and yes it is still as cute as it was when I watched it with Dan over winter break. The movie took up the perfect amount of time and when It was over I went to my OChem class.
All my classes today went well and I handed in my microlab assignment, which was a relief though I have no Idea how I will do on that assignment.
After mY micro class I made myself a nice dinner and as I was attempting to be productive, it began to hit me, how tired I was and then just decided to relax for the rest of the night.
I had a nice chat with Katie and then Erica called me and we had many laughs.
Also I need to acquire overall shorts, denim overall shorts or overalls that I can hem into shorts, but not cutoff overall shorts, that would be a nono.
On a sad note, I haven't been able to text Dan all day and it kinda sucks, but Brittany said she would be my replacement Dan so I can still have someone to Text and Brittany and I have made plans for when i am home in February, and I look forward to them very much.
Anyways I think I'm gunna get ready for bed and maybe do some internet browsing

A day of mixed emotions
I have been running on very little sleep, and I will tell you why.
Last night I went to bed around 11 and just as I was almost asleep I hear this beeping noise coming from outside, and the sound of a large snow plow. I hope that they will go away, they didn't from about 2am until 5ish they were plowing basically the asphalt, there was scraping and beeping and motor type sounds, it was awful, I could not sleep, I wanted to die. just as it finally stopped I try to go back to sleep and just as I'm almost asleep, i hear Kallie waking up which means it's around 7 am, I stay in bed until 8:30, I text kallie to tell her that I wont be in Physics and I planned on trying to sleep until whenever Devon texted me so we could work on homework. Sadly this text cam at 9:30, she had gotten out of her lab early. I was then down at the school around 10:30 and I was very tired.
Luckily we managed to be productive and after going to see our Biochem prof we got the assignment done.
Then I was alerted to the fact that today I got mail, I got two packages. One was from my Daddy and Dan and it consisted of 4.5kg of peach penguins, and a giant wedge of smoked Gouda cheese, and my surprise from Dan which was actually a surprise.. It was How To Train Your Dragon on DVD Blue Ray combo pack which means I get to keep the DVD at school and the Blue Ray will be taken home with me at Reading Break and added to mine and Dan's Blue Ray collection.
I also got my package that consisted of part of Dan's valentines day gift.
After recieving my packages, devon and I finished the Ochem assignment and they she had to go meet her lab TA and I stayed in Rez and tried to productive until my microlab at 3.
My Microlab was short which was nice, but I am still angered by the microlab assignment that is due tomorrow, it's so very Dumb and I really dont care
As I sit here writing this I am getting annoyed and angered with the fact that I can hear snow plows, there is no snow on the road, so why are you here. No one wants them around, snow plow need to leave or do their plowing at a more decent hour or I may have to go lie down in front of the snow plow with my pillow and blanket and hope they get the idea.
Anyways I think I'm done writing for the night, I may try and go to sleep, but if the snow plows start at it again, I wont be going to bed anytime soon.

Can't believe it's only tuesday
Today felt like a long day, I was woken up before my alarm went off, which was unfortunate but luckily I wasn't too tired, well until now. Now I am tired.
My Ochem class was a lot of information to take in at once, we flew through a chapter which means I have an assignment due Thursday, which just adds to my pile of stuff I need to do. After Ochem I tried to get some of my Microlab done, which didnt go super well and then I had to make lunch before going to my Invert class.
My Invert class was kinda cool we learned about Cnidarians, which are mostly sea jellies. Then I killed time until microbio, which was a rough lecture, it was quite boring and hard to focus through. After that lecture I decided that I was going to get my microlab done, so I spent about 30 minutes working on it, then made dinner which consisted of heating up soup.
Then I took the compost out before going to SGU, which was quite a long meeting, after the meeting I was going to go to the gym but instead I worked more on my microlab and I have now completed a rough draft which isn't too bad.
Tomorrow I will go over it and hopefully finish my biochem assignment and my ochem assignment and get my lab prep done and such things.
Today I also found out that I wont have to be the mascot on Friday, yay. i still get to work, I just dont have to wear a furry suit and sweat my ass off, the downside is that I'll get paid less, but that's okay. Money is money.
Today i also had a very nice chat with Morganne :)
I really hope my package gets here tomorrow. Anyways I gotta go get ready for bed and such things.

Still not 100%
This morning I really wished that weekends were three days long, I needed more time to get things done, luckily today I was pretty productive, I went to all my classes, completed my Ochem assignment, got alot of my bioChem assignment done which is good, because those are two things I was worried about.
Today I also had my first physics lab and it was complete Bull shit, the lab TA has no idea what he is doing, the lab manual is out of date, and it was stupid, but I finished it and it's all ready to be handed in tomorrow, Yay, sadly i'll have another lab next week and the week after, but then reading break , YAY
In terms of how I'm feeling about life in PG in general, its about the same
I went to the gym and it did make me feel a bit better and I am trying to figure out why I feel so out of place and such. Hopefully I will figure out soon, because I'm getting tired of feeling like this and it's no fun and I don't want people to be worry about me.
I also find it kind of interesting that this blog is how people know how I'm feeling, between this and facebook people may never have to look at me and just know that something is wrong, they'll just be able to read about it. I don't know how I feel about that. I know I'm not an easy person to read, but sometimes I wish people would be able to tell when something is wrong. When I don't feel like myself, i don't think I act like myself, and isn't that something someone should notice?
Oh well, I'll figure it out and I will start feeling better, hopefully it happens soon. I am looking forward to talking to Dan tonight, I hope it will make me feel better.

A early blog for a tired Chanel
Today was a day of homework, I was up at 10:30, cleaned the kitchen, and then I started working on my micro lab assignment and i did that for about 2 hours and then I did some notes and my invert lab assessment.
I tried to work on OChem but I got too tired and lost my focus, I took a break that was supposed to over at 5, and it's now after 6 and I still haven't gotten back to work. I'm thinking I may just shower and go to bed super early, or maybe just relax I need to repaint my toe nails, tidy my room and such things, maybe be a bit more productive, but it is kind of unlikely, maybe I'll try and finish my notes for BioChem, which should be relatively mindless.
I'm still not feeling well in many ways:
I'm tired
My throat is really sore, it hurts to swallow :(
I still feel out of place at school
I still just want to go home
and to add to that I'm stressed that midterms start in two weeks and I haven't finished my assignments that are due this week and I'm so lost in Ochem, tomorrow I'm hoping to do some serious Ochem and BioChem work, even though I'll have my physics lab and I'm hoping to get to the gym tomorrow.
I think I'm done for the night, I need a fresh start, and I'm hoping that fresh start will be tomorrow.
Hopefully....

Why must I do things to myself
This morning I wanted to get up earlyish to do laundry, but that didnt happen, I git up at like 11:20 when my mom called me, we had a short chat. and then i took a shower since I didnt have one last night.
Today was the day of food olympics that I didnt really want to do, but no one would fricken man up so I had to do it. To keep things simple and easy i'm just going list the events , keep in mind its a relay race style.
3 crackers
2 hot dogs
Dare number one: cat Food
peanut butter sandwich
chug can of coke
Dare number two: Beef liver
eat a banana, that you have peel roll in chocolate and coconut and sprinkles
eat two snack packs of jello without hands
Dare number three: escargot from a can
moving beans from plate to another using chopsticks
twizzler relay, points for speed and tiniest piece
the came the final tie breaker relay
Quail eggs and unpeeled garlic
And we should have won, but typical rez challenge, we didnt win
but i didn't feel as sick afterwards.
I did laundry
laid about all day, and got around to do some homework and I hate my microbiology lab, its so stupid.
I'm having some serious missing home issues.
I feel out of place at school.

Full Night on Duty, well 5.5 hours
So this morning I was soo tired when I woke up, but I had to goto physics because we had an assignment due and not handing in the first assignment would probably be a bad idea, so I went, handed in the assignment, and then spent 50minutes of my life being bored out of my mind.
After class I tried to call my mother, whom did not answer and then I almost accidentally fell asleep on a random couch but I managed to keep it together and stay awake through Biohem.
Then We got out of bioChem 20minutes early which is awesome when it is your last class on a friday :)
I had leftover soup for lunch and then tried to take a nap which was basically me lying in bed for two hours before getting up to get ready for work, which started at 4:30. I got there early because I am me and thats what I do, and I waited and waited and at 4:30 I was the only one of the three there. We got started doing simple tasks that a monkey probably could have done and then I had to suit up for the game.
I had no handler by the way, no one followed me to go get water, no one helped me into the costume, nope I did that all myself.
The timberwolves won both games and apparently I'm the best mascot they've had this year so far. I didn't throw up or pass our so I would call it a success, but now I am hungry and soo tired due to my lack of food, lack of sleep and lack of who knows what else...maybe physical contact.
I would also like to congratulate Dan on getting his license, YAY Dan. I would also like to wish him well in hope that his sickness goes away <3
I'm going to make some food, take a shower and then try and go to sleep in what is a very rowdy rez. Wish me Luck.

So tired...
Today was a long day beginning at 7am when I woke up to basically a blizzard outside and had to trek through the snow to get to my lab.
The lab was fun, we got to look at sea sponges and a variety of jellies. We also got to see the sea anemone in the reef tank get fed, which was really cool.
After my lab I killed time until my Ochem class,
Did some notes,
Went to invert where I almost fell asleep
Went to micro, and then came back to rez to make dinner before going to work at 7.
It was another night of being the mascot, it was hot, but I lived. Hopefully I live through tomorrow, and I also hope I get a decent nights sleep as I am soo very tired.
I`m going to try and relax and then goto bed at a reasonable time.

Never say never.....
So this morning when I woke up my headache was still there, but I'm still hopeful that maybe the anti-inflammatories will work, I'll give it we a week, then I'll go back to the clinic.
I thought that maybe if I slept a bit more the headache would go away, but I was wrong, I skipped Physics, and still had a headache. Biochem was quite boring as usual and then I spent the afternoon doing physics and checking my email every 5 seconds, because I was supposed to hear back about whether or not I got the Job, I didn't get a reply by 3 so I had to goto my microlab which was soo long, but while there I was able to check my email, thanks to my phone, and I received an email before 4 saying that I had gotten the job so yay me.
I rushed the last but of the microlab so I would have enough time to eat before starting work at 6, and I go down to the lobby and there are two people with Sarah and I was confused because I thought there was only two positions. Then Sarah starts talking about how she hoped that one of us would be willing to be the mascot for a few days, and as she says this she looks at me, the other two people, Fernando and Emma look terrified, especially when I share mt mascot experience with them. But me being me I agree to do it for the four days. This is why you never say never, I said I would never be the mascot again, and then I end up being the mascot. I sometimes hare Karma, but I hope I have a better experience this time. I do get paid two more dollars than Fernando and Emma, which brings me up to a soild 12 an hour, yay.
Tonight we were promoting the basketball games in Rez by going door to door, today we did neyoh, tomorrow we do keyoh, and then Friday is the game and the following friday is another game. I basically wandered the halls for about an hour and 45 minutes in the costume and it was a bit rough, but I lived, and that means one day down, 3 more to go. and I only worked for 2.5 hours but its better than nothing, I don't know how long we will work for tomorrow, but the fridays should be between 4 and 5 hours, especially if I take my time getting in and out of the costume.
I'm hoping that my past mascot experience will be useful and that I wont almost pass out this time. I guess another plus is that I sweat alot as the mascot, maybe I'll lose weight, lol or it will just be water weight and I will gain it back in like 30minutes of drinking fluids. I must remember to stay hydrated or this will not go well.
I did not accomplish too much today, I think I finished my Physics assignment and I finished my online lab assessment for invert, but I still have to submit it.
I'm hoping to get to be early especially since I have a lab tomorrow at 8 am that I should probably be well rested for.
Night!

Writing early in hopes of getting to bed early
Last night Dan and I were on the phone for like 6+ hours, it was awesome, but left me with very little time to sleep, I'm running on like 4-5 hours of sleep.
Class was okay, O chem is hard, and I feel like I'm falling behind.
Today I also got into to see a doctor who thinks my headaches are an extension of my tense muscles and prescribed me some anti-inflammatory pills, I hope they work. It's really becoming hard to do anything when my head is constantly in a state of discomfort. I'm hoping that if I rest today I will start to feel better tomorrow.
Thats why Im writing now so its one less thing I have to worry about tonight.
All in all, not a very eventful day.
I'm going to go lie down.

Job Interview
So Physics and BioChem were the usual
I still had my headache when I woke up
Interesting News: I had my job interview and it went quite well, I will know by Wednesday if I got the job, funny considering thats the day the ob starts, but I will check my email until then in hopes of good new. I am hopeful though as there are two positions and I dont think very many people applied and I would like to think that my charm won them over.
After my interview I booked a doctors appointment for tomorrow, so I will let you know how that goes. and then following that I did some easy but somewhat productive stuff which consisted of prepping for the physics lab I have next monday, then I had a physics SI which was not all that helpful, hopefully they get better or physics is going to become a problem. After the SI i returned to Rez and eventually went to the gym with Tara and Fabris.
I had a decent workout, and then came home and had salad and cheeseburger pie for dinner and it was good. After Dinner, Fabris and I made this French Apple pie thing which was quite good and we will have enough to have dessert for a couple days, doesn't go well with healthy eating, but we had to use our large amount of apples some how, and we still have many left so hopefully we can figure out something to do with the rest of them so they don't go bad.
I just got out of the shower and decided to write in my blog before calling dan and cleaning up my room a little bit, it somehow became a huge mess again, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
I will let you know how tomorrow goes

A day spent trying to catch up
Once again I woke up and my head was hurting, I did not attend any of the musicals at the musical movie marathon due to the fact that I haven't been feeling well and I had to get some stuff done today or I would be way behind, which is no good.
I spent my day reading, taking notes, snacking, doing assignments and stuff like that. Nothing of interest occurred and I'm writing early in hopes that I can get to bed early tonight. I stayed up too late last night and I have class in the morning tomorrow, and I must try and get more stuff done. I really dont want to fall behind but its hard to focus when your head is aching.
I'm not sure what I am going to do with the rest of my night, but if anything of interest happens I will add it in before going to sleep.

My head wont stop hurting
So this morning i tried to be up by 7:30 to goto the musical marathon, but when I got up my head was killing me and I felt like shit so i stayed in bed and continued to stay in bed for awhile.
I got out of bed to eat breakfast and then was a little bit productive, but then I ended back up in bed and I kept going from cold to hot to cold to hot and my head was hurting.
I called my daddy who suggested that i try and nap so I did and that didnt work so well, eventually i go too bored and got out of bed and made impossible CHesseburger pie which was quite good.
I spent some time with Katie Harrhy juts chatting and such and then we made these weird potato snack things, which were strange but good, and we were going to watch a movie with Kallie but she ended up getting home later than expected due to buses and then Katie MOrganne Adam Liz and I wanted frostys but we went to wendys and it was closed so we ended up at mcdonalds and I got a McFlurry, and I got their new apple crisp one which was okay. We then sat around and played never have I ever and I really should have gone to bed a few hours ago but apparently I'm and idiot and I will be going to bed very soon.
Niight!

Jump Back to New Years, the condensed Version
SO class was done by 12:30, I was tired and bored in bother of my classes.
I ate lunch after class and killed time and tried to be productive, I worked a bit on my My Favourite Microbe assignment and the Fabris Tara Jenna and I went shopping for food, alcohol and other.
Side note it was like -31 with windchill and snowing soo much today and soo very windy, it was crazy.
Shopping went well and was followed by fabris and I doing yoga and showering (separately) and then we began getting ready for jump back to new years. Tara blow dried my hair straight and then her and fabris straightened it, though we did have to take a pizza break, in the end I had very nice straight hair. Liz did my makeup and I borrowed one of taras dresses that is black with a purple bit my the chest area and it is very pretty.
Everyone else was getting ready and at one point we invited Adam up so he could have his best ratio ever of 9:1 and we took a picture to prove it, yay.
The pre-drinking was a little out of hand for some people. Liz and Morganne had a lot of shots which didn't end well for liz, who sadly left the party about 10 minutes in and sadly Katie left with her to take care of her. So in honour of Katie I would just like to mention how awesome of a friend she is. Katie, you are an awesome friend, you rock!(sorry you left)
During pre-drinking there was beerpong and for some reason at one point when we were all about to leave adam and dan leave dans room with no socks and Adam come back in only his boxers, which apparently Dan ripped, I'll try and get the story of what happened there, but it was funny.
After some tears and alot of searching for and rounding up of people, we mad it down to the moose. It was soo cold, and I was one of the only people who chose to wear a coat. WE get down and in about 10 minutes Liz needed to leave so she did with Katie. Then there was dancing and more dancing and creepers and dancing and eventually there was a count down to the "new Year" and I would just like to mention that I think my real New Years was better.
I didn't dance on new years or drink(on either one) but some times it's not what you do but who you do it with that makes it awesome, which is why a News Years spent going to dinner and a movie can be better than a new years spent dancing with overly drunk overly promiscuous people.
That is the much condensed version which is needed because I need to goto bed because of the musical movie marathon in the morning.

Sore from Frisbee
So last night I was woken up a few times by a stabbing pain in my head which was rather unpleasant and when I woke up it was still there. And it was a sharp unexpected pain every once in awhile and it sucks, I almost fell over. I took some advil in hope the sharp pain would go away so I could make it through the day, but I obviously did considering I am writing in my blog.
My First Invert Lab went well, I did manage to find a lab partner, Hayden is my lab partner and we managed to find a Dino flagellate. Which was cool, and we were the pioneer's of the class. It was a good, and over in an hour and a half which was nice.
I went back to rez and I still had a dull pain in my head, but I can handle dull pain. OChem was a tad confusing partially because I was tired and struggling to stay awake during it. Then I went back to Rez with Devon to eat lunch and I had a salad and a small cheese Quesidila, and it was good and then I started finger knitting which was a good way to kill time that I shouldn't have been killing.
Then I had invert and micro and both went okay, average lectures I would say. After Micro I went to Rez and had a very nice phone convo with my daddy, whom I miss,and then made a nice dinner for myself, I have learned that I think Thursday nights will be my me nights which is okay I guess. After dinner I made a grilled peanut butter and Nutella sandwich and it was delicious, though I need to perfect it.
I then finger knit for a bit and then I had a lovely phone conversation with Erica :) and then Fabris came home and interrupted mine and Ericas nice convo and turned it into a 4way skype sesh with Katy Tara Erica and I, we made Tara come over from Keyoh. Kaliie also had a guest appearance :).
There were many laughs and Erica is coming up for semi-formal in the beginning of February which is awesomely awesome.
On a not so good note, I can feel the dull pain in my head building and I'm hoping that the sharp pains that woke me up last night don't return. And that my head is feeling good for Jump Back to New Years Tomorrow.

First day of Ultimate
So today was a day of a few firsts, but before I get to that I will get to other aspects of my day.
This morning was a bore in Physics, we get our first assignment on friday which I am not looking forward to.
Then I had to go back to Rez to get my BioChem notes and such and then BioChem was also boring, because I'm sorry, having to memorize all 20 amino acids isn't my idea of fun.
After BioChem I was going to goto the gym, but that didn't happen, I had lunch which was well lunch, and then I started to realize that I really wasn't feeling all that well. My tummy hurt as did my head and I just felt really stressed and overwhelmed and it kind of prevented me from being productive which doesn't help with the stress thing.
Now on to the Firsts.
I had my first Micro Lab. It went well though my Lab TA has a lisp and an accent, so that will be interesting. My lab partner is Jenna which is good. And the lab involved preparing bacteria plates that will grow bacterial cultures in the next week, and it was done in under 2 hours which is good.
I had soup and potatoes for dinner.
Then came the Next First
Our First Ultimate Game, Yay. We have a big team full of awesome people, most of which I know which is an added bonus. And I feel like I'm a bit better at it this year. I don't even know if we won but it was a good game, lots of good plays and positivity, I even go a few compliments on my skills :P. But I am going to be sore tomorrow. I can feel it, and my tummy and head still hurt. After and hour and a half of frisbee it was back to Rez to shower :) and have a snack and to compare Ochem assignments with jenna, all of which went well and Now I need to goto bed soon as I have my first Invert lab in the morning at 9am, oh yay :S

Sitting in a towel
I'm sitting in a towel wondering what I should write about. I finally managed to convince myself to shower and now I must muster the energy to get in my Pjs..in due time.
Today was an average day, we got through the first chapter in OChem which means I have an assignment due thursday, which I am almost finished. After Ochem I met with Fabris so we could pick up our good food box which contained the following delicious food items:
Potatoes
Onions
Carrots
Celery
Broccoli
Red Peppers
Mushrooms
Parsley
Cabbage
Pears
Apples
A Rutabaga
and I think that's it.
After unpacking the food box and having some Chili for lunch I went to my INvert class followed by my Micro class.
Both went well.
I then went back to Rez where fabris had been on a mission to find a cabbage recipe and she did, we had a cabbage pasta thing for dinner which was surprisingly good.
We then Killed time until the SGU meeting at 7 and it was a long meeting. Upon returning home, which took awhile as we had to goto Keyoh and get Fishes tank , and then we stopped into see Tara, went back to Neyoh, popped in to say to Morganne and then Liz Lindsay and Katie and then Finally home, where fabris and I did some yoga, followed by watching Sex and the City
Followed by me not wanting to shower and then showering and then ending up writing in my blog in a towel.
Apparently it's snowing back home. Poor soon to be snow covered Poco.
I guess I should get into my Pjs

First Monday of Classes
So today was my first monday of classes, but it was still not a full day because I do have a physics lib on mondays but they don't start till January 24th, yay. Which means that today I was done class at 12:30.
Physics and BioChem were okay, kind of boring but bearable. I also got a MicroBi textbook today from my friend Natasha who had an older edition, which is better than nothing and better for paying over $100 for a new edition.
After class I got mail, a letter from my lovely friend and former roommate Erica, aswell as a list of 10 reasons to miss a roommate, though i can't give her credit for that idea as I sent her a list in the summer with the same title, but it was awesome to get mail. Man do I miss that girl.
Then fabris and I went to the gym for a bit and went on the elliptical for about 30minutes, I have to get back to going to the gym but I have to do it slowly. Tomorrow I plan on doing yoga at the very least and on Thursday I have Ultimate Frisbee which should be quite a workout. I hope there are plenty of subs.
My afternoon was spent reading my newly obtained microbiology text, as well as testing out our new low flow shower head which has a massage option and though the pressure is lower I think I can get used to it in time, though washing my hair will take a bit longer. After my shower, i read more micro and made a quesedia, which was delicious, followed that with more micro and several cups of tea. On one my reading breaks I checked my email and found a pleasant surprise. Turns out I have a job interview on monday for the residence student event leader, which i awesome. if i get the job it will be a nice source of perhaps some fun money :), which I am in need of.
After awhile I couldn't read anymore so I ended up watching bad TV, like the bachelor and now I am waiting to call Dan, as tomorrow is my "late" day which makes tonight the best night for me to call him.

An odd day of odd feelings
Today was an interesting first sunday back, not all that eventful, but interesting to say the least.
I got out bed late and showered and had peanut butter and honey for breakfast, which was delicious. Then I decided that it was a good idea to read my Invert text book and take some notes and that went well, I go through two rather long chapters, which means I am caught up on reading for this week which is good and while taking these notes, I watched Legally Blonde, sex in the city, the bugs bunny and tweety show. Then I made and earlish dinner of salad and pasta.
Fabris got back from her RLA camp today but she has once again left to go watch movies and Morgan and Marlina's. After eating my dinner, I was watching Ratatouille, when I got a text informing me that one of my Highschool teachers had died of a Heart Attack, not good news, he wasn't very old. The facebook world is now full of messages going out to the late but great Mr. Lapa. It's interesting to see how many people seem to care about a High School teacher and coach. I guess it just goes to show that teachers and coaches to make a difference in our lives and that they will be remembered, but not by all, but by many. Rest In Peace Mr. Lapa.
After the not so great news I discovered that my room is big enough to do yoga in which is surprising but nice. I can now do yoga in the privacy and comfort of my own room. Good to Know.
I was particularly homesick today and right now, and it is not in any way a pleasant feeling.
I miss home!
Night!
I got out bed late and showered and had peanut butter and honey for breakfast, which was delicious. Then I decided that it was a good idea to read my Invert text book and take some notes and that went well, I go through two rather long chapters, which means I am caught up on reading for this week which is good and while taking these notes, I watched Legally Blonde, sex in the city, the bugs bunny and tweety show. Then I made and earlish dinner of salad and pasta.

Night!
At Least I went out
this morning I tried to sleep in but I was up before 8 am and then every few hours after that until I got out of bed at like 11ish. I got up and Kallie had tided up a but because she was having people over for a birthday dinner potluck at four.
I spent most of my day feeling like a blob, lounging about watching tv until I had to make spring rolls for the potluck, and then people slowly started to arrive and we had lots of food and lots of laughs.
Oh and Natalie is up for the weekend which is awesome because she has been missed since this year she has been going to langara, it was nice to see her and she apparently spends alot of time in poco and has been to more bars in the area than I have which is kinda funny.
After much food and ice cream cake we were trying to decide what to do. Ryan was going to a Toga party at Lexi's and then it was decided that kallie, Leanne, Mike and some other boy would go too, and we were going to take the 10:06 bus so we would have time to get ready, but then the next thing I know we are catching the 9:06 bus which leaves in 5 minutes, I couldnt get a toga and I had to rrun and try not to slip on the way to the bus and breathing in the freezing cold air hurts.
We made it on the bus and we decided that we were going to the pub alfredos so they could drink a little more before going to Lexi's, so we go in and get ID'd instantly, obviously and we sit down and they order this super tower thing of beer and there has to be 4 people per tower and it was Karaoke Night!
We convinced Kallie to get up and sing and she did don't stop believing and I sang too, off to the side to support her, we also did a little duet in the middle of the song, it was fun. Then we walked to Lexi's and I felt bad because I wasn't wearing a toga and almost everyone else was and people who weren't acquired togas while they were there.
I left before midnight, I wasn't having an awesome time and didn't feel like staying another hour. I had to wait in the cold in sketchy dark PG for a little bit, but better that than missing the bus. I was the only person on the bus and made it back safely to my warm room, and now I get to get in my PJs and watch the Nutty Professor on TV.

While everyone else is out I'll be in
This morning wasn't too bad, I was up at 8:30, and this morning I paid my first cell phone bill, which was more than I was expecting it to be and then I rushed a bit to get ready, but Fabris made my toast for me, which save me a bit of time, so Thank you Fabris.
Physics was a bore and we didn't get through the notes which isnt a surprise and then I tried to read the Invert text for a hour before I had my next class, I go through a few pages, but I didnt read nearly as much as I should have, it was hard to focus.
Bio Chem was short we only had a 30minutes lecture which kind of threw off my plans. i was planning on going downtown to deal with some grant stuff at 12:30, but I ended up going back to Rez and eating lunch before going downtown with kallie at 1.
We got downtown and found the designated Canada Post Outlet and I got my stuff dealt with, but Kallie was lacking her social insurance card so she couldnt deal with her stuff, then she had to goto an appointment and I went to go catch the bus and I JUST missed it by like maybe a minute I saw it leave and then I had to wait at a sketchy PG bus stop alone for 30minutes waiting for another bus in the cold and I was really not dressed well, and I was freezing.
Eventually I made it back up to the school and to rez and I was considering lying down for a bit but then fabris and Tara showed up and we ended up making cauliflower ginger soup, which was quite good, but a touch spicy. We ate that and then an hour later I had a salad and then I continued to snack all night.
Fabris and Katie went an RLA social thing and Kallie and Liz and adam and tara went to a party at Randy's place in town and I stayed here. I'm not in the mood to go out, I'm tired and not feeling 100%. but it does kinda suck to be alone on a Friday night, sitting on a couch watching sex and the city and trying not to eat all of the food I have, I hate when I get bored and then all I wanna do is eat. I could try and be productive but I think I'm too tired for that so i don't really know what to do.
I guess I'll watch tv, maybe take a shower or a bath and goto bed early...talk about a great first friday back. I guess I did make the right choice though, if I had gone out I don't think I would have good time, I would have been tired and cranky and it wouldnt have gone well I think.
I miss home, I miss spending my nights with Kal :P well I guess I enjoyed spending them with Dan aswell

Day two of classes.
I was awoken this morning before 7am, by a text message from Fabris, the first line read that if I was asleep I could read it later so I rolled over and tried to get back to sleep which wasn't all that successful. I rolled out of bed just before 10:30, got dressed, had breakfast, and went off to class.
I had Ochem at 11:30, and it was the usual Ochem with Guy. It didn't take the full hour and a half and then when I wandered back to rez I walked into our room Fabris was back and Tara and Adam were over and it was nice to see them, and Fabris had brought me back cheese from BALDERSON!!!! yay, I now have soo much cheese, I have smoked gouda, 6 year old cheddar and 3 year old cheddar, I must figure out some amazing cheesey recipes.
I then had Invertebrate Zoology, and the most annoying person ever sat next to me, which made the class unpleasant, but other than the annoyingness next to me I think it's going to be a good class, then I had an hour to kill before microbiology.
Micro was actually a good first class, Egger really likes what he's teaching which i think will make the class so much better. After micro we all went to the moose, but I still don't want to spend money so I had water and left in about 30minutes because I was starving.
Then I tried to get organized for when class really starts which is tomorrow at 9:30am with Physics.
I spent my evening alone, which kind of sucks but I didn't know what else to do. Things still aren't feeling right. I'm homesick and my back and neck hurt and I think I might be getting sick and I haven't been sleeping well and this all adds up to a Chanel that doesn't feel like her usual Optimistic Happy self.
I'm hoping to turn things around soon. Starting sunday, It's time for me to start getting active and studying and reading and relaxing and eating healthy and hopefully I can keep it up for the semester and maybe I'll be really happy with my body by the time school is over for the summer. That was kind of a random side note, oh well I wrote it so it's staying there.

First Day of Classes of 2011
This morning i woke up and I was soo very sore, i think it's from lugging about my luggage and groceries yesterday, I feel like I spent hours at the gym yesterday and I didn't. My back is sore as is my neck and my arms and everything is sore, it kinda sucks.
I managed to get up this morning and to goto class and Physics was a bore, but I knew it was going to be and I only had one other class today which was BioChem, and the class was 8 minutes, he just went over the syllabus and that was it, which was kinda nice, but also weird, I was done class before 12,
At 1 i went down to college heights to goto the bank and Devon came with me and we got coffee and went to save on and the bank. I got the stuff I needed at the bank and at save-on I got a toaster which was on sale, which was a bonus. I need a toaster, for some reason at school I feel like I cannot live without toast. I then had to look like a fool carrying a giant toaster on the bus and up to rez, but it was worth it because I now have a shiny toaster that can hold 4 pieces of bread.
I was also planning on going to the post office to deal with my grant, but due to me buying a toaster I did not which means I will now do it on Friday, which kind of sucks because it delays when I get the money, but I can live without it.
I ate an early dinner, I made soft tacos at like 4:30 and since then I have just been sitting around, not really knowing what to do with myself. A bunch of people when downtown to coaches to watch the hockey game, and I didn't go because I was worried I would be tempted to spend money and I really want to try my best to save money. So now I'm alone writing in my blog really early because I don't know what else to do.
I did do something productive, I passed my Bio Safety quiz which is something i needed to do before my microbiology lab next week, now I just have to go and get the sticker that proves that I did pass it.
With the rest of my night I'll probably just lay about, maybe get some school stuff organized, and maybe try and get some other productive type things done, but I'm not in the mood.
I'm really having trouble settling, I know that I have only been back a day, but things just feel off. I don't know why, but it's not very pleasant at all. I'm already counting the days down until I get to go home at reading break and I feel like that's probably not a good thing, but I can't help it. I'm homesick.

First Day back.
This morning was an early one, I was up at 5:30, which was not very fun considering how late I went to bed and how poorly I slept. Morganne came over to my place last night to sleep over because we were on the same plane in the morning.
Our flight left at 8:55 and it was on time and we arrived in Prince George just after 10. We spent quite some time waiting for our baggage to come out, and we ran into Kealy and someone whos name I can't recall and ended up catching a cab with them back to the University, which reminds me, I owe Morganne $10, so Morganne if you read this and it is a reasonable time please stop by and receive your money.
Once back at Rez, Morganne and I dropped off our stuff and went to save on where I spent way too much money on deliciously awesome food. Then we came back and I unpacked my groceries and my other things from home, which didnt take too long. I also switched my duvet cover for the new one that Dan got me at ikea, thanks Dan, I miss you.
I also made some spring rolls which were the first thing I had eaten all day other than the cookies on plane this morning. and they were okay, I wasn't really hungry, but I knew I should eat something, so I ate them and continued to unpack, and whilst all this was occurring I had still not seen Kallie.
I then went down to the school to deal with my fees and such and to get a bus pass sticker and the line at the cashiers office was soooo very long, but I waited in it and I got everything paid up and now I am super poor which isn't a good feeling but I dont have much of a choice.
When I got back Katie stopped by and while we were chatting Kallie came home and we hung out for a bit and then Kallie had offered to make me dinner, but the cooking of the pizza turned out to be a fail on Kallie's part, sorry kallie. The oven was on broil rather than bake and the cardboard was left on, oops, Kallie then ordered pizza.
Then I spent some time printing off some notes and trying to settle in, which I am finding to be rather difficult.
I feel like I am a stranger or a visitor in this room, it has a weird feeling that I can't seem to describe, but I will think about and try and come up with words describe how I am feeling about being in this room.
The reason I am writing so early is because I am super tired, and wish to goto bed early and I don't want to have to worry about it later, I just wanna relax, maybe shower and then goto bed.
I already miss home and I haven't even been gone a day.
