This morning I was u early with the intention of watching the magic school bus with breakfast, followed by going out to observe birds, but only the breakfast happened because the magic school bus wasn't on and I didnt feel like going out to observe birds when we hadnt yet set the data that we would all be collected, we will figure that out on thursday and then the real data collection can begin and I'll go out for 2 hours on sunday.
I did some studying and worked on my limnology assignment and went down to the school at 11, to pick up the Casino Night posters and then I bought some cue cards, and went to my Eco Analyses class and it was all right, we got our second assignments back and I got 100% wooo and a comment saying that I really understand how to present the assignments which is good because all 10 assignments have the same format so hopefully I can keep doing well.
After that I had plant society and environment, which was alright. On thursday I have my midterm for that class and I feel like I don't know how to prepare for it, I hope I can do well.
After that I had my evolution discussion and we got back our sheets from last week and we did not do well, we got 7.25 out of 10 which goes to show how a bad group can effects your mark, luckily this week I had a better group, so hopefully that reflects in the mark. 3/10 of the discussion are done, and I cant wait for them to be over, though when they are over it will be the end of the semester so I REALLY cant wait.
After the discussion, Elaine and I went to go take max Photosynthesis Rates on our plants which was a very time consuming process, we didnt even do all our samples and we didnt wait for the max rates and it still took over 2.5 hours and I hadnt eaten since 10am so needless to say I almost keeled over once I got back to Rez.
Jenina and I were going to go to the gym but that didnt happen and I couldnt convince anyone to go with me and I am tired of going alone so I did a home work out, nothing super intense, but it was something and hopefully I'll go to the gym tomorrow for Cardio and to get back on my learning to run plan.
I havent been motivated to do much, after my suffering through class and data recording with no food, I just didnt want to do anything. I've been talking a bit with Brittany and Kristy Via text and I want to talk with Dan but I can't :(
My plan for the night is to shower and go to bed early because I have a long day tomorrow and it starts early.
I'm going to go make lunch and then shower.

Almost the end of the Month
This morning i was up at 6:45, got ready, made breakfast, watched half of the magic school bus and was off to class. I got to my lab a tad early which was alright, and my lab only took two hours rather than three which was good and bad
good because i didnt have to spend 3 hours in the lab but bad because I didnt have things with me to do in the hour so it was kind of wasted.
After that I have 3 hours of class,
Evolutionary Bio
Limnology
And Animal Bahnviour
and they were all average, after class Liz and I were supposed to go to the gym, but she left shortly before I got home and I texted her only to find out she had gone to the mall, and then I had to go to the gym by myself, but I did well by myself.
I have a new goal, to learn how to run and I started today. I walked for 9, ran for 1, and I will do that three times this week and next week I will decrease the walking and increase the running by one minute per interval and this will continue until hopefully in 10 weeks I'll be able to run for 30 minutes. After that I did 40 minutes of strength and stretching, all in all a good workout.
I got back and started making dinner and I was trying to get motivated to do some more work, but that was problematic, I ended up doing nothing before dinner, for dinner I had a marinara rosemary roasted chicken breast with roasted veggies and a salad, it was yumm.
After dinner I was productive and then I had a meeting at 7:30 and after the meeting my productivity went down. I showered and now I'm winding down and I'll be off to bed soon, I have to go out in the morning to observe chickadees at our feeder so I need my rest.
Home in 18!

A productive Sunday
I was up and out bed by 8 and started making my whole wheat and vanilla pancakes, the batter made 13 pancakes, but as usual the first one had problems so it only made 12 good ones which worked out well as I had to split it into four servings.
I had three pancakes with a cup of sliced strawberries and it was soo good, I could have eaten them all, but I didn't. I plan on taking some to school for lunch tomorrow, as I have a longish day of class and I'll need to eat at some point so it might as well be delicious and nutritious.
After breakfast it was time for intense homework, I completed my assignments that are due tomorrow, worked on some assignments due later in the week. And then I hit a wall.
I didnt want to do anything, I made lunch and came other with other reasons to not do homework and then I decided that I should go to the gym and that maybe after that I would feel productive again, so i went to the gym
I worked out for an hour, did cardio for over half an hour, and then some strength and stretching and I already have plans on what to do at the gym tomorrow, and I'm excited.
I came back and talked to Dan on skype for a bit, but he was playing skyrim, so I spent 40minutes hearing his game and him talking a minimal amount. It kind of upset me a bit, we cant communicate due to his lack of phone and then when we do get the opportunity to talk for a bit, I feel ignored. And I had things that I could have been doing and ugh it was frustrating and I don't think he understands where my frustration come from.
I took a shower and made dinner after that. I had a portobello pizza, which is a pizza, but instead of crust it has a mushroom and I put tomato and shrimp and 6 year old cheddar on it and it was sooo good, I could have eaten 3, but I only and one and one isn't too bad for you at all.
After that I talked to my mom for a bit and then had a cup of tea and an apple, which were both delicious, but as for the getting more homework and such done, it didnt happen. Instead I looked for jobs online and stuff like that.
My plan for the rest of the night it to relax and get to bed early so I can have a busy and productive day tomorrow.

RA Carousel Day
This morning I was up at 8, so I could get ready for the RA Carousel group interview that happened today from 10-4. I went down at 9:30 and was a tad early, not one else showed up for a bit, but in a way it was nice because I got to be the first person to sign in.
Carousel was basically the same as last year, same activities, mostly the same people, though I did like my group better this year, I knew everyone and I felt like we worked well as a group. It was a long day but it went well, including the interview portions of it.
I was back home by two because I got my interviews out of the way quickly, I was first for one and 7th for the other.
I am now decided to forget about the whole RA thing and not worry about it, because worrying about it wont do me any good. I'll find out on the 17th and I have a midterm that day so I will not even check my email that day until after my midterm, just in case.
Now on to the rest of my day.
I spent the rest of my day doing homework, writing papers, editing paper, etc etc. Not a fun day. I took a break to make Fajitas for dinner and then I also made some vanilla whole wheat pancake batter for tomorrow.
I've really been missing Dan lately, he is still without a phone and I feel like we dont communicate any more and it saddens me, but there isn't much I can do.
I plan on going to bed soon and having a long day tomorrow of homework and I have to go to the gym and complete all my assignments that are due next week and study for my midterm.
Boy am I having a fun weekend :S

Made some money today
I went to core fit this morning
Then class, I got my evolution quiz back and I got 19/20 but Ye ones I got wrong were mostly due to the fact that they were worded horribly. I was kind of upset by it, but nothing I can do now.
I had to leave my animal behaviour tutorial early to goto the do it in the dark focus group which was lots of fun, we talked about the completion and climate change as there were snacks and in the end I got $50, so all in all a great experience.
Sad thing happened and I was leaving, I put jam in my pocket and it exploded and got on everything, my phone my keys my sweater, everything and now everything is sticky :(
Also there is a small crack on my phones screen :(
Once back in rez I has tacos for dinner and did some homework and then got bored and went down to Katie's to go do homework in the company of Katie and Liz. That was not super productive.
I will be off to bed soon as I have carousel tomorrow and I need to be well rested and shower and such before going. Also tomorrow is kind of my last chance to be an RA, so wish me luck

Another day gone
This morning I was woken up at 6am, when Liz came home and I was so confused but managed to fall back asleep until 8,
I got up, had breakfast, got dressed, organized my stuff and went off to my office hours at 9, and I was quite productive, got some reading done and some editing and some calculations :)
After my office hours I came back to my room, had a quick lunch and was off to class by 11:15. I had two classes today, totally two hours of lectures and after that I had a group meeting for animal behaviour which was a but productive, but I feel like people just didnt know how to provide feedback or give input, oh well. The proposal and animal care forms that are due monday are almost complete, and should be completed by Sunday.
After my meeting I went back to rez, hung out with Liz and then Liz and I went and bought groceries and I got strawberries and tea and other yummy things and spent less than $20.
After groceries we rushed back to eat something before we had to get ready for kickboxing at 6, and kickboxing today kicked my butt, it was such a good work out, can't wait until next week, woo, gotta love burning calories.
Once back in Rez I had something to east, including a peanut butter and honey snack which was delish and then I had a one minute shower and got dressed and ready to go as katie liz and I were going on an adventure,and it started out in a very adventurous way, we had to figure out how to fit three people in to Georgia, when she had a table and chair set taking up the trunk and back seat, in the end we figured it out though I had to shit in a table fort in the backseat with no legs space, but it was fun, After that we went to Lasenza and I may have bought 10 pairs of underwear but I only spent 25$ so it was a great deal and really can you ever have too much underwear?
After that we went to walmart and wandered for a bit, then we went to starbucks, yumm... and then back to rez, watched an episode of friends and now I'm getting ready for bed, starting tomorrow I will be doing lots of homework, editing, writing. calculating, graphing etc. All for different classes, should be a fun weekend and Carousel is this weekend which will consume most of my Saturday and I will have to take that into account when planning out all that I have to do.
Anyways I;m off to bed

I am not a fan of group work
So this morning I was up at 6:45 to get ready for the long day ahead of me.
My plant Society and environment lab went well. Our sunflowers are growing, but they also have a pest problem which is unfortunate, but it is something we will have to deal with. We finished all our measurements and such in 2 hours and got out of the lab early which was kind of nice, it gave us time to study for the evolutionary bio quiz that was at 11:30
The quiz went ok, I was done in 15 minutes and I'm expecting around 20/24, which wouldnt be too shabby. Finishing class that early threw me off a bit though because I finished all the stuff I had brought with me in the time I would have normally still been in evolution and then I had another hour to kill before my animal behaviour class. I ended up getting some tea and just wandering around for awhile.
Animal behaviour went ok, and after that I had my limnology lab where we go our second assignment given to us which is a group paper, and I hate group work, I guess in a way I got lucky that I just have a partner and not a full group. We also got our first assignments back and I got 19/20 so I'm happy, though I lost marks for silly things. We spent the entire lab taking measurements of the surface area of lake using a planimeter which took so long we ended up having to share data in order to get all the measurements we needed, which is okay I guess, but I hope the other people measured properly. So now I have another paper that I have to work on and yet another group I have to collaborate with, oh yay.
After my lab I came back to rez and had tacos for dinner which was the best part of my evening. After that I checked my email and I had received one more persons animal behaviour section, which was good, but even now at almost 11pm, I have still not received the last girls info and this is why I hate groups, i'm supposed to edit together the info for our meeting tomorrow, which i cant do if I dont have all the info, It is frustrating, especially since I didnt want this girl in our group and now she is causing problems and this is only the first part of the project, I wonder what else will happen over the course of the semester.
After editing what I could for animal behaviour and entering Plant Society and environment measurements into excel, i worked a bit on my eco analyses assignment and on he limnology assignment that we were given today and excel has already started to frustrate me, and I have a lot more of working on excel to do this semester, I hope we start to get along (excel and I)
After much homework doing, I had Rez Council and we decided on alot of things, the big thing being the theme for semi formal, and it got down to two choices, memes or SciFi and SciFi won, I am not super thrilled on this, I feel like it may deter some people from wanting to go to semi formal as they may have a biased opinion about SciFi though this could be prevented if we come up with a good title for it, we will be deciding on a title next week.
Anyways now I am tired, frustrated and hating group projects, I can feel a headache building and part of me wants to stay up and get shit done and the other part of me wants to go to bed and stay there forever, I wonder which one I will end up doing...
I think you can guess...

Short entry, early to bed
This morning I was up at 8 so I could go out to the bird feeders and play bird calls to try and attract birds, sadly it was super windy, I was getting blown away, and the birds must have been too because none of them came.
After that I hung about, studied a bit. Had lunch
Went to class for three hours
Had a horrible discussion group, it made me grumpy and the grumpiness continues to become somewhat overwhelming
I have so much to do and I feel so disorganized and I feel like I don't have time to organize my life
Rather than going to the gym I did some workout stuff in the livingroom followed by a shower and studying and then I filled out my valentines to send people and I will be mailing some off by the end of the week.
I will off to bed soon as I have ti be up super early.

Time is passing so quickly
I feel like time is passing quickly and that if I close my eyes for too long the semester will be over.
I was up early this morning to get ready for my lab, I left kind early and therefore got to my lab pretty early which was okay. The lab itself wasnt too bad, I finished it in about 2 hours as opposed to 2 but I stuck around because I didnt want to go hang out by myself.
My other three classes today were alright, I "learned" some stuff. After class I went to the gym with Liz, and I had a nice work out. There was a but of cardio followed by some hard core strength exercises. I think i'll be a tad sore tomorrow, but not to sore.
After the gym I had a little chat with my mom and then I had leftovers for dinner and they were yum. I was supposed to study but I ended up printing notes and killing time until my exec meeting at 8.
The meeting was meh, could have been better, could have been worse, all in all I'm glad its over.
Now I am sitting with Liz as she watches pretty little liars.
Tomorrow I had lots to do, in the morning I have to go out to the bird feeders and try and call the chickadees to our feeders. I hope it works and that it doesnt take to long, after that I have 3 hours of lecture and I have to go to the gym and study and study more and maybe tidy my room etc etc.
Time is going by so quickly....
ever so quickly....

An okay sunday
This morning I was up at 9 again
Had breakfast and watched some tv and did some homework and notes and organized stuff.
I relaxed most of the morning and then at 12:30 I met with my animal behaviour group to try and put up the feeders and after 2 hours we succeeded our feeders are up, though none of the bird came to them yet.
After that I prepped my dinner and tidied up a bit and jut after 4 Katie and I went to the gym and u did cardio and stretching and it was nice. When I got back I made dinner and then I watched the frog princess.
Dan and I had some things we had to deal with which was not very awesome.
After that I showered and then I started watching cars and I am still watching it now.
It makes me miss my car, I miss Mayter.

A rather boring day
Today I was up at 9 and it was snowing a lot but luckily not too cold or windy. I spent my morning eating breakfast, doing homework and watching movies like Bruce Almighty, meet the Robinsons and how to lose a guy in 10 days.
Liz didnt come home today, so we didnt hang out and katie stopped by for a minute and that was it. I was in for another boring lonely day, However Jenina and I ended up going to walmart and killing lots of time there which was nice.
I bought food and a pumice stone and we just killed a lot of time. We also went to lazenza and I got two pairs of underwear that were normally 12.50 each for $6 for both, it was an awesome deal. I hope that they are comfy
Once back in Rez, I made dinner consisting of Curry and some naan and it was delicious, and then I watched sex and the city and I am now skyping with Dan which is okay.
Sadly my jaw is really sore right now, as are my abs, bum and hamstrings. Im a sore Chanel, and tomorrow it is back to the gym so I hope I'm not as sore and that my jaw stops hurting.
I'll be off to bed soon.

I bought food and a pumice stone and we just killed a lot of time. We also went to lazenza and I got two pairs of underwear that were normally 12.50 each for $6 for both, it was an awesome deal. I hope that they are comfy
Once back in Rez, I made dinner consisting of Curry and some naan and it was delicious, and then I watched sex and the city and I am now skyping with Dan which is okay.
Sadly my jaw is really sore right now, as are my abs, bum and hamstrings. Im a sore Chanel, and tomorrow it is back to the gym so I hope I'm not as sore and that my jaw stops hurting.
I'll be off to bed soon.

Kinda got ditched
This morning Jenina and I went to core fit and I worked super hard and my legs and bum are so sore.
After that i showered and then ha 4 hours of class which was ok. After that liz and Katie an i hung out for a bit, we were going to go on an adventure but sadly Georgia won't start because it's so cold :(
We hung out and had dinner and Liz and I did laundry but sadly at 10 Katie and Liz ditched me to go hang out with their significant others :(
Now I'm all alone and can't even go to bed yet because I am still doing laundry so j must stay up and be bored and lonely.
People in rez are partying hard, I hope they don't make too much noise. I want to get a good nights sleep so I can be super productive tomorrow. My field trip got cancelled for tomorrow because it is going ti be too cold and windy. I'm kind of happy and kind of sad that it happened. Happy because now I don't have to freeze tomorrow but sad because now I'll have tj go out in two weeks assuming the rather is better.
Anyways I'm going to go check my laundry and hopefully I can go to bed soon.

1.5 hours outside in -30 is not fun
Today was an okay day.
The average Thursday for the most part
I had my office hours, did some studying
Went to my two classes and the second one was so hard to focus in because the room was +28 it was so hot, I couldn't focus.
After class my animal behaviour group and I went out to hang bird feeders and long story short we spent 1.5 hours outside and didn't even get done what we needed to get done.
My face, had and feet froze and my legs were numb. I couldn't function once back in rez Liz has to let me in and then she had to fill the sink with warm water so j could thaw my hands.
I was red in the face and the hands and the feet. I was shaking, I was soo cold. I couldn't stop shaking. I laid on the couch in a blanket for two hours trying to warn up and I was still cold but then I had to go to kick boxing with Liz which was a good way to warm up.
But now I'm showered and backup being a bit cold and back to being bundled.
I calls any mom and my dad and talked to both of them which was nice.
I plan on going I bed soon and to hopefully get a warm nights sleep so I can have a good work out tomorrow morning.

Busybusy
3 hour 8 am lab spent in the greenhouse planting 64 sunflower plants in 32 pots and administering 4 different treatments.
After that I had evolutionary bio which was alright
After that I had to pick up posters and get them approved so I had to go back to Rez and while I was there I had a bagel for lunch and then it was backto school for another class and another 3 hour lab that took almost 3 hours. It was all about excel and excel can be so frustrating
After the that I went back and had dinner and did some studying and then I relaxed and watched some YouTube videos and killed time before my meeting at 9:30 and it was a long one because I had to stay afterwards :(
I can back and showered and now I'm waiting for my hair to dry before I go to bed.
On another note
30 days till I go home.
I miss home. I really miss Dan. His phone is still out of commission so our communication is limited.
:(

This semester is going to fly by.
It's already mid way through January. And I feel like I only just started classes. Things are approaching fast. In 32 days I go home for reading break and then after that there's only 5 1/2 weeks of class left and then there's exams and then I'm done.
It's going to be a whirlwind of a semester.
This morning I had my 8am lab and it took almost 3 hours and then alter on I realized that I had made an error with a capital and now tomorrow I have to I back and redo the data ad analysis and I don't look forward to that at all.
After the lab I hung out with Kacie, Angela and cierra until we had class at 11:30.
My next 3 hours of class went by at a decent pace an then after my animal behaviour class we had a group meeting followed by a meeting with our prof and we have lots of set up to do that hopefully we can get done on Thursday.
After that I picked up a bag of compost from PGPirg for my plant society and environment experiment and then I did homework and worked on a few assignments an had dinner and then at 6 I had my exec meeting and it went until 7 but we talked about a lot of stuff. I don't know how much progress we made but things were discussed which is a start.
After the meeting I went to the gym with Jenina and it was a solid work out. Sadly though I got a headache after my meeting and it never went away.
I took a shower and now I'm getting ready to go to bed. I'm tired an my head is killing me :(

A Short entry, so I can get to sleep.
Today I actually got to sleep in, I got out of bed just before 11, because Dan called me and he needed some info.
Today was not an eventful day,
I ate, I studied, I went to the gym with Liz
After the gym we went to Fabris`s to say bye to Tara who had been visiting for the weekend. We had Stir fry, which was very rice filled. I came home and ate some more veggies and chicken :)
Then I had a skype date with Dan which was nice. His phone has been cut off so we havent been communicating much and it kind of sucks.
We talked for almost two hours and then Dan had to go to bed and I`ll be going to bed soon as well as I have to be up at 7am tomorrow and I want to get a good nights sleep.

A long day.
This morning I was up at 8, so I could go to a group meeting for my animal behaviour class at 9, and it was a slightly more productive meeting, but we still dont have our study site or our feeders up, hopefully by next week it will all fall in to place with minimal stress, but that is probably and unlikely senario.
We met for over 2 hours, talked about the study, got some supplies, etc etc, in the end we had to end it because we couldnt find a suitable study site so our task is to start looking for one, and I have a few ideas, but I will have to go and check them tomorrow.
After finally getting back to rez, Liz and I went on an adventure.
We went to walmart and I got hard core winter boots for my field trip out on tabor lake on saturday, which I am kind of nervous for, but there is nothing I can do now
After walmart we went to save on and then to winners and then we had to get back so i could go to Rez Challenge at 3.
It was food olympics, but this year it wasnt gross and it was actually lots of fun, though i did get a little sticky. They had fun events like eating crackers and having to whistle and finding jelly beans in a bowl of whipped cream and marshmallows in a pile of flour. No over eating and no gross food. There was even a three legged race, which I was not so good at, Sam and I ended up on the ground.
After rez challenge, Jenina and I cleaned up our room and took out all the recycling, I had dinner and I was somewhat productive but not super productive.
I also made my own granola bars and they are super good, but also super filling, I ate one about an hour ago and I can still feel it in my tummy. I think I should have made them smaller and easier to eat. Oh well, now I know for next time.
Some other good things that happened today were, for one: I got myself added to the booking of the cruise which is good as now I have control over things and I can see whats going on and such and funny story, when I called to ask to be added to the booking, the woman who helped me had the same name as me, except hers is spelt Shanel, rather than like my name. It was an interesting experience and we had a nice little chat about it.
My plan for the rest of the night is to shower and then go to bed. I'm tired and I need to get LOTS done tomorrow and I would like to be able to sleep in a little but as I have been getting up pretty early and having not a lot of sleep for the past few days.
So I'm off to shower and get ready for bed.

A less stressful day.
This morning i was up at 8 and took my time getting ready to go to my office hours at 9.
In my office hours I read a paper, organized some notes, planned out a bit of my life, and tried to keep my hands from freezing, for some reason the office has very inconsistent temperatures, it is either boiling or freezing :(
After my office hours I dropped stuff off in my room and then handed in my RA application to the housing office and went off to my ecological analyses class, which was boring, but thankfully it is only a 50min class, after that I had plant society and environment, which was nice and another short lecture
After class I excitedly went to pick up my good food box and I got so many awesome things, like broccoli, mushrooms, onions, carrots, whole wheat flour, apples and much more, 20 pounds of food, and it's as local as you can get :) i made s stir fry for lunch and a soup for dinner, taking advantage of my new veggies.
I also go a package today which was Erica's Christmas gift to me and it's really neat, they are personalized magnets, ex. one has pic of her and I :) It was such a good gift idea.
I spent some time cooking and then a bit of time on school stuff and at 3:30, Katie Liz and I went to pick up Kris and we went to Long and McQuade so they could get Guitar stuff and then we went to save on and crispy minis were on sale for$1 and I got the stuff to make my own granola bars which I am very excited about, though I dont know when I am going to make them and i am hoping I dont eat all the ingredients in the the mean time.
When I got back to Rez Jenina asked if we could not go to kickboxing and instead go to the gym later and that is what we did, we both had dinner and at 7:30, we went to the gym for and hour and I did lots of cardio and some strength stuff and I had a nice stretch :)
After that i rewarded myself with a nice cup of pumpkin chai tea.
And Erica introduced me to this Ap Called VOXER which is a walkie talkie ap and it is soo cool :)
My plan now is to shower and to then go to bed as I will be up at 8 again tomorrow to go to a Core Fit class at 9.

A Deathly Day
I was up at 7 this morning after an okay nights sleep, and I got ready for class in the usual manner. I was surprised that both Liz and Jenina were up before I left for my 8am lab.
I got to my lab and Elaine and I started discussing experiment ideas. It was my Plant, Society and Environment Lab. We got to see the greenhouse and the plants that we could work with and we got our experiment roughly mapped out, we are basically doing Myth Busters:Fertilizer Edition :)
I'm really excited, so excited that i didn't even notice that we were in the lab for the full 3 hours, we were those keeners who stayed till the end, but I am glad that we did, we got lots of valuable info from the prof and from the TA. We also got our first assignment assigned which is due next week, luckily it's an easy one, basically just an outline of our experimental design.
After the lab I had a 30 min break before my next class, and Elaine and I talked more about our experiment and I had a snack and before we knew it, it was time for Evolutionary Bio, which was average, roughly 2 pages of notes, it's weird how with all the lectures we cover a similar amount of material. I hope that it stays that way.
Now normally on Wednesday I would get an hour break after evolution, but not today. I had to go to a group meeting for my Animal Behaviour Group Research project and what I learned is that there is a reason that I don't like groups, you have to plan time to meet and the meetings can be quite disorganized and in the end you still don't have what you were supposed to have by the end. Basically all we decided was that we needed Bird feeders and that we were going to do something with height preference of birds with feeders, should be interesting in theory, but the execution might be quite difficult. Right now I just hope that we can obtain the equipment that we need without too much trouble and that we can get our feeders up soonish. the meeting took the entire hour. and during our meeting I had my lunch which consisted of lentil loaf that I made yesterday and it was actually quite good :), I was pleased.
Following the meeting I had my animal behaviour class which was okay, though the class seemed longer than 50 minutes which i didnt need after already having 4 hours of class and a 1 hour meeting. The class did eventually end, and then I had another 30 minutes before my limnology lab and I had to read over the winter safety section because we were being tested and we had to get 100% on a quiz before we would be allowed to go on the mandatory field trip.
The Lab started with a man by the name of Glen giving us a mini lecture on Tabor Lake which is the lake we will be going to to test and it was very boring and dry, after that we reviewed winter field safety,and then we had to write the quiz and it was circle ALL correct answers which could be one or two etc or all. I had to take it twice, it was such a waste of paper, I don't think anyone passed first try due to the wording and the fact that there were multiple w=right answers and if you were missing one you were wrong,after that we had a waiver to fill out and then we sat for a bit and eventually we broke into groups and got field equipment signed out to us. We are Team Teal, we chose teal because you have to label all your equipment so we wanted a short word. We labelled our stuff and then finally after about 3 hours we were able to go.
Once back in rez I spent some time trying to get a bit more organized and then at just after 6 I had salad for dinner, and then I was supposed to start working but I ended up talking to Dan via skype because his phone got cut off and it turned into this money management thing, which stressed me out a lot, and I did not need more stress today, but there it was. We didnt solve his problems, but I had a floor meeting at 8 so the conversation could not continue.
At the floor meeting at ate 3 cookies and hot chocolate, which broke many of my rules, but I was having a rough day and I wanted to eat, so I did, I'll do better tomorrow. The meeting was about half an hour and then I went back to rez and marinaded some chicken and found out the Erica got an Iphone :) and we can now send cool emoticons to each other which I am so stoked on.
I spent some time trying to find articles for my plant study, but that was rather unsuccessful :(
At 9:30 it was time for Rez council, and luckily it was a short meeting followed by a shortish exec meeting to discuss some stuff.
After that it was back to my room where I organized notes, got in my PJs, worked on the assignment I got today, printed out notes for tomorrow and a paper that I have to read for next week, and now I am taking the time to write in my blog when I should probably either be sleeping or doing something school related.
I need to relax. I can feel my neck tensing, and I don't need that right now, but i just feel like so much happened in one day and I feel like I'm already behind and we are only a week in and Im worried that this is what the entire semester might feel like, but I'm hoping that is not the case, I'm really hoping. I would not be able to handle this level of stress for an entire semester. I'm hoping that once I get into the swing of things, things will calm down.
Well I'm going to go heat up one of my heating pads an put it on my neck and hope that helps and then maybe I'll get some sleep and have a fresh mind tomorrow.

Should be asleep but I have some things to do before I can
I was up at 9
Killed time in the morning
Bought a reading package before class
Went to Ecological Analyses and it is a boring class
Went to Plant Society and Environment and it seems like a fun and interesting class :) The prof seems very chill and laid back and I look forward to the course.
After that I had lunch, Hung out with Katie and Liz while they "played guitar", they need some practice but it was amusing
After that Liz and I booked out flights home for reading break
Then we went to the gym and had another good work out
After that we hung out and I made lentil loaf with not enough lentil which made it less of a loaf and more of a pile, but it was not for dinner it was for tomorrow as I will be at the school for 10 hours and I will be in need of food.
For dinner I had pasta and salad, then I started to work on my RA application and at 9:30 I had to go to an info session about the RLT team, even though I went last year and I know what I need to know, but I thought it was in my best interest to go so I did
I got back and now I have to do some things quickly and then get to bed as I have to be up at 7am tomorrow which I am not very excited for, should be interesting.
Night!
Killed time in the morning
Bought a reading package before class
Went to Ecological Analyses and it is a boring class
Went to Plant Society and Environment and it seems like a fun and interesting class :) The prof seems very chill and laid back and I look forward to the course.
After that I had lunch, Hung out with Katie and Liz while they "played guitar", they need some practice but it was amusing
After that Liz and I booked out flights home for reading break

First 8am lab
Last night sadly I did not get a good nights sleep which sucked because I had to be up at 7.
I got up and had breakfast and got dressed and watched the magic school bus but I could not complete the episode as I had to go to my ecological analyses lab.
I got there and we were given a 78 page package and we were lucky that only the first Half of the pages were things we had to do in the lab. It was a long lab using the software SAS. It took almost 3 hours but luckily I got out in time to go to the cashiers office to get my bus sticker which was an accomplishment.
At 11:30 I had evolutionary bio and I ate my lunch in class and enjoyed a good lecture with another around two pages of notes which I think is going to be the norm for that class.
After that I had limnology which was okay minus some technical errors which resulted in my notes getting more rushed and messy.
After that came animal behaviour, and we did not get through the lecture but I did get a group for the research project and I'm not happy that I'm in a group of four. I'm with 3 people who I don't know super well, especially one of them whose name I any even remember her name, the other two people are Cierra and joleen. And we don't have a solid idea yet but we are meeting on Wednesday during the one one hour break that I have between classes on Wednesday which will make my Wednesday that much more full. I'm hoping that we can figure it out quickly, but who knows.
After animal behaviour liz and I went to the gym and I did cardio on the elliptical and track and then I stretched out well and after that I hung out with Katie for a bit and then I made dinner which consisted of soup as salad and a grilled cheese sandwich and it was sooo vey yummy.
I did do some productive stuff like copying out limnology notes and probing out notes for the classes that I have tomorrow. And then I took a shower and then watched pretty little liars with Jenina and Liz and they are so into this show, it amuses me greatly :)
It episode ended and they both freaked out an are now re watching the episode and talking to the tv. Haha
I will be going to bed eventually

A lazy Sunday..kind of
This morning I was up at 9
out of bed just after 9:30 and eating breakfast before 10, along with my morning cup of tea
After breakfast and dishes, I cleaned the bathroom top to bottom as today is cleaning day and that was my task, now the bathroom sparkles.
As for what I did with the rest of my day, I made healthy food choices and planned to go to the gym with people tomorrow and signed up with
myfitnesspal.com
which is a website that helps you track eating and exercise to aid in loosing weight and or slimming down, either result I would be happy with, though I guess I would prefer slimming down, the reason I signed up was because my dad had signed up and told me that it was neat and that I should try doing it, so I did.
Before I talked to my dad today I had a phone date with Erica and we talked about food and silly things our cats do and we also talk about how she is going to come visit me at home during reading week :) I am so excited :) This means that kristy and Erica will meet, which will be cool, sadly Erica wont meet my mom though because she will be on vacation, but she will probably meet my moms cat :)
I had a quick visit with Katie and also had the first rez council exec meeting which was almost an hour, yuck and the next one wont be any shorter.
I watched movies and did a mini workout session, and then took a shower and will be off to bed soon. All in all a nice but rather dull Sunday.

Saturday night in, Horray
So this morning I got up at 9, and I had a decent night's sleep, which was surprising considering that it was the first friday night back and I was expecting things to get a little crazy, but all in all the night wasnt too bad, and I was able to sleep.
I had a banana and yogurt for breakfast along with a cup of delicious pumpkin chai tea and Kristy gave me for Christmas. It was soo good.
Eventually Liz woke up and we hung out and watched tv and liz did some readings and I organized my life a little bit. Eventually Liz went to go shower and I started to make lunch until I was able to shower, after becoming clean, I ate salad for lunch and made a pasta bean salad to eat later.
A large portion of my day was spent wanting to cook and bake and eat, i tried to control myself. I ended up making baked crunch chick peas with curry powder and they were really yummy. Then I marinated some chicken for tonights dinner and some for tomorrow as well,
Eventually it was an appropriate time to have dinner and I had lemon rosemary garlic chicken and some of the pasta bean salad I made, I may have also had a bagel...
I spent my evening watching family channel movies and cleaning my room and just relaxing, it's actually kind of nice that the stress of class and school hasn't quite hit me yet, but it will hit me soon. I have lots to do this semester, not as many midterms as usual, but a lot of assignments and papers and projects and presentations and such that I am really not used to doing and it does scare me a bit, I'm hoping that once I get settled into a schedule everything will be okay.
My tentative gym schedule goes in place starting monday which I am excited for, I really want to become more active and focus on my health and my studies, even if it means a little less time spent lounging in bed and relaxing.
Liz is at work tonight and Jenina went out with her friends, Katie is doing RA stuff so I am all alone on this Saturday night, which is ok.
Dan called me to tell me some stuff that happened at home, mainly my dad breaking the door off the oven when trying to clean out the flour that he threw in the oven to put out the fire that Dan set when making spring rolls in a dirty oven. we also chatted a bit which was nice, but now he has gone off to bed and I'm thinking I'll get in my PJs, brush my teeth and wash my face and hit the hay.

Friday already? Crazy.
So this morning I was feeling much mug better and managed to get the the readings done for my animal behaviour tutorial and I got somewhat organized.
I had breakfast, and while I was drinking my tea the fire alarm went off and I had to go outside in the cold luckily I brought my tea with me, but it was pretty cold out there and being outside didn't make me feel good, it made my ears hurt due to the cold.
Eventually we were allowed to go back in and I read and rewrote some notes and at 11:30 I went to my evolutionary bio class which was alright, we only had to take around two pages of notes which isn't too bad.
After that I had my first limnology course and she spent much of the time talking about how the course is going to be offered next may as a field course and that if we can take it then we should and I did think about it, but I'm not super interested in limnology so I think the regular course will be okay for me. The class was over in 30min and then I had to kill time until my animal behaviour tutorial.
I went to the bookstore to look at all the required textbooks that I don't want to buy and then I left Togo to the tutorial, and it lasted the full two hours, he went over different animal behaviour experiments an how to go about setting them up and such and he was trying to make our big research assignment seem less scary, but now I am more scared about it, there is just so much work that is going to have to go into it and it's a scary thing to think about but I have to start thinking about it now because before I know it, I'll have to start working on it.
After class I was hungry so I had a snack but then all I could think of was food so I made some potato pancake things and some baked tomatoes and it was yummy but not enough, I also has a bagel, I really need to change up my eating habits which will all start in the following weeks along with a gym schedule and I will become super healthy and awesome.
After dinner I just basically hung out with Liz and Katie and such and we had a chill night and I'll be off to be soon.

I feel like a fool
So last night Ryan got me to drink Alot and I haven't drank in like 8 months and I got quite drunk and I didn't have a full stomach which made it worse, and last night Adam and Ryan's roommate will wrote in my blog for me last night.
Eventually I got to my bed and into half of my pjs, Liz Adam and will were all very nice and helpful, I got up at like 8 and was feeling horrible, I was dizzy and so nauseous :( I went tj the bathroom and managed to throw up hoping it would make me feel better, sadly it didn't, I took some Advil and a tums and want back to bed
My alarm went off at 10:30 and I managed to get dressed but there was no way I was going to class, I couldn't stand for long periods of time, I texted some people got them to get me the notes from today an I stayed in bed until 2 and I was feeling worse and I think it has something todo with the fact that I hadnt eaten in 20hours.
I got up and had a banana and Jenina game me some melbatoast and I went bck to bed and snacked, but eating and drinking water did not make me feel better when I was eating but I hoped it would in the long run
I continued to feel sick and at 4 liz made me some pasta and I ate that in bed and it made me feel a bit better
Then Liz and everyone left and I made a bagel and some ice tea at 6:45 ish and ate that and I have been feeling a little bit better but I'm still not awesome, I feel like I might throw up again but who knows.
I really hate that I wasted the day, I better be productive tomorrow and I better actually make it to my classes, I canny believe I let this happen never again, never ever again

Chanel cannot write in her blog
I had my first day of classes they were okay. I went over to Adams. That was a bad Idea because I drank too much and Will had to take care of me. Adam said I could sleep in his bed and liZ will take me home cause she is a good roommate
So the post above was written on the correct day, but not by me Because of the amount of alcohol Ryan had me drink.

First day back
This afternoon I flew back to pg with Liz, we got into pg at like 4:30 and went back to Rez and hung out with Katie and then we went and got groceries.
We got back and I made a yummy dinner, and Liz set up her new Xbox 360, and we played a marvel fighting game and then Liz played a dancing game which was quite amusing to watch. When Liz and I were playing the fighting game Adam and Ryan were visiting and they were laughing so hard at us trying to figure out how the controls work. It was fun.
Jenina is still not back yet, I assume that she will be soon. I have to get some unpacking done a right now things are a total disaster zone in my room.
