Leaving tomorrow

I wrote my exam this morning at 9, and was done in half an hour, it was pretty simple

I wish I could invest more time into writing this entry, but I'm so tired I'm shaky.

My mom arrived at noonish
We packed up
Had lunch

I'm on call, managed to sneak away for dinner

Did lots of cleaning

Did rounds and now I'm exhausted

So I will elaborate when I've had some sleep

Night!

2 more ssleeps!!

It's way past my bed time, so I will hopefully be able to add to this later, but

Lots of packing and procrastinating

Baked cookies
Tried to study


Went to Kelly o's for Elaine's birthday

Had a blast

But need sleep for my exam tomorrow

Night!

3 more sleeps!!!

This morning I was up before my alarm went off

I rolled out of bed
Had breakfast and tried to study

Eventually I went down to the school to study with Elaine in the cafe
Karlee joined and we studied for a few hours an eventually we went to have pho for lunch and it was magically delicious

While studying I received another phone call from the CFIA asking for my availability and this time I told him and rather than being shot down right away like last time, instead he said he would get back to me later in the week

Then there was more studying and then a quick break back to res, before going to write my conservation exam

The exam was hard but fair
I got my group paper back, we did okay, so many stupid mistakes, we got 81, Elaine got in the 90s, I was jealous

Soon I'll be off to bed

Night!

4 more sleeps!!

I was supposed to meet Elaine at the gym at 9, but the hot water was out and my knees were sore so I decide to postpone the gym

I tried to study but it didn't go well

Instead I started feeling really down about my lack of job prospects and such so I went on a Job application spree and applied for anything I could find

At 1 I went down to the school to study with Elaine and Karlee, and on my way down I bought salsa at the farmers market :)

We studied for over 4 hours, I was much more productive than I would have been on my own

Then it was back to res to make a quick dinner and at 7 I went to the gym with jenina, and before leaving I booked a hotel for mi madre in kamloops with my airmiles for when we stay there on Saturday :)

The gym was super busy and I wasn't feeling it so I jogged for 10 minutes and the basically stretched, but it was nice to relax and stretch

Once back from the gym I showered and then made garlic cheese biscuits and I may have eaten two :( but they were so delicious

Now I must brush the garlic out I my mouth and hit the hay

Night!

5 more sleeps!!!

Today was an okay day

I woke up with really sore knees :(
And I was quite tired, but I still went to grope with Elaine at 9 and it was so much fun, it hurt my legs but it was worth it :)
After groove Elaine and I did conservation studying and it was so long and tiring as nothing is sticking and I'm just not in the study mood :(

We took a break and eventually she left and when she left I did nothing productive

I ate and watched tv and thought about how awesome it will be to go home

I also found out that Erica will have her at in kamloops so I'm very excited :)

Today I'm also on call but it's double on call so I'm not holding the phone over night which will be good as I am exhausted ;(

I'm just waiting for Becky so we can do rounds, I also had my last RA meeting which was kind of sad

I hope rounds go fast so I can be off to bed


Night

Sucessful RA event and jogged an hour an 10 minutes!!!!

So last night/ this morning at 4am some idiots pulled the fire alarm and I had finally managed to get asleep. I leapt to my feet and was ready to go very quickly, it was resolved quickly as the fools pulled the alarm closest to the second floor exit, I hope we caught them on camera

It was hard falling back asleep and my alarm went off way too soon.

I was up army to start making Mac and cheese for study survivor, it was super cheesey and a tad time consuming but it looks delicious.

I handed off the on call phone and then relaxed until Sam and I were ready to start setting up for study survivor, tables and snacks and chairs and all the fun things needed

Sam made guacamole
I made hot asiago dip, both were delicious and popular.

The turn out was great, over 20 people all studying in the common lounge munching on delicious snacks :)
At 5 it was Mac and cheese time and then prize time and there were some many prizes that all the people got two and Jenina and Ashley were sweethearts and gave their second prizes to Katie and I :)

I cut ally accomplished a decent amount at study survivor and I ate way too much dip and Mac and cheese, it was a lot of fairy for one day

At 7ish jenina and I went to the gym and ended up staying there for about 2 hours and I jogged for 70 minutes, jenina made it to 60, we were both proud and continued to work hard,
I got back late and showered as I was a sweaty ball of nasty and now I think I'll go to bed, I hope my hair is dry enough

6 sleeps until I leave


Night!

My last saturday night in res

So far today has been a productive day in terms of packing and prepping for study survivor, but less so when thinking about studying for finals

I tried to sleep in but I was out of bed by 930, I had breakfast and tea and decided that I was not in a studying mood, so I decided that I would start packing, since I do leave in 7 sleeps!

I packed all morning and then I pre made some asiago dip for stay survivor tomorrow, now I only have to bake it tomorrow and it will be good to go,

After lunch I decided to study a bit and read over my women and the environment take home final. I ado collected papers on various species I might do my species account on on panama :)
I was productive but slow.

Soon it was time to make dinner :) i made pasta and chicken and broccoli :)
Jenina popped by to say hi while I was eating dinner and Katie's sister Elsa and her boyfriend came over for burgers because Katie had 14 burgers, I think she now only has 4, so that's good.
When they left I said goodbye to Elsa as I may never see her again since I'm leaving so soon.

After dinner I watched tv and talked to my mom for a bit and then it was back to packing and I think I have packed all I an pack at this moment.

I'm on call tonight do I'm staying up to do rounds and I'm hoping things will be quiet but I'm prepared for a bad night because you never know.

If rounds go well, I'll be going to bed alright after that.

Night!

Probably my last night "out" in PG

I was up at about 6 this morning for my last panama meeting. There was the final student presentation and a quiz and I did no preparation from the quiz and still for helge most part found it to be reasonable and fair.
Now we will all meet in Vancouver in 17 sleeps, exciting :)

After my meeting I went to go stop off Russ' thank you card, he was not in his office so I just slid it under his door, I assume he will get it.

Once back in res I began working in my women and the environment take home final and did some research for my species account in panama. By the time I finished lunch the rough draft if my take home final was done :)

At 230 I went to the gym with Katie, well first we did the recycling.
I jogged for approx 30 minutes and then I stretched out in preparation for a night of dancing

After the gym I showered and Katie and I got ready for the RLT final dinner. I got all fancied up in black and white in preparation for the black and white pub night.

The final dinner was okay I guess.
I got a cool cup because I'm graduating, but I didn't win any I the awards which is kind of sad.

After dinner it was back to res to get ready to go to the pub night at the moose. Katie went down to kris' and them possibly to Kallies, I don't know.
Elaine came up to hang with me, and we went down early to get strawberry daiquiris, but when we got it, it was a strawberry mojito, and it did not taste good and it was $21 and it wasn't even close to worth it, and I don't like Mint so that made it worse.

The evening started off slow, played some fooseball, listened to Adams international student roommate talk about how I was a bitch :S simply because I'm an RA and I can be a bitch when I'm on call but he was saying that I'm just a bitch. Elaine defended me and so did Adams other roommate who does not know me that well... It was awkward, but I kid of thought his roommate was an ass anyways so that hair verified what I thought

Eventually the real dancing began and Katie and kris eventually showed up, though kris just sat on his phone while the rest do us danced like fools. Adam was being particularity foolish.

Elaine caught the 12:06 bus down and Adam and cait ended up going to gala on the same bus, and I could have gone, Adam offered to pay my cover, but I'm exhausted and I would have felt bad if he did that

I came back up to res web everyone was leaving the pub to go to other places and I think it was time

I'm exhausted and can't wait to get some sleep

Night!

Last official day of classes of my undergarduate degree

Today was for some reason a very very tiring day

I went to my biological anthropology class, I was there early and I tried to be productive, I went over notes and organized things and the class was somewhat useful I guess, we did review for the final which will be 100 multiple choice, 40 of which will be repeats from our midterms, which did not motivate me to study haha

My women and the environment class was short, we had the final and very late student presentation and then a short lecture. She also brought our jam that we made on Tuesday which was very exciting. I also have my prof a thank you card for her and her partner to thank them for their hospitality. Class was finished early and I went back up to res to eat something
It was final affair today so there was a BBQ and such, but I was worries I wouldn't get anything so I wanted to eat just in case.
I checked for conservation notes and there were no new ones posted,
I grabbed Elaine's cake that I had made yesterday and brought it down to the school so I could give it to her in conservation. It was a heavy cake, it hurt my arms haha

Conservation went well, we did review and course evaluations. And the cake got a lot of attention.

After class Elaine had to go speak with a prof so I was on cake guarding duty haha.
Once Elaine joined me again we sat and ate cake as realize that is was very delicious and rich but there was too much so we wandered about trying to share the cake wealth.

It ended up going to quite a few profs

And while on cake deliveries I was able to return my key to Russ' lab which was a bitter sweet moment. I still have a thank you card for him that I think I will drop off tomorrow,

By the time I got home, I wanted to go to the gym but I didn't have enough time beause Katie and I were catching the 430 bus to meet Kris for dinner at hummus brothers and I regret not going to the gym :(

Dinner was soso
And after I realized how tired I was and lost all motivation and now in grumpy tired and I feel fat. This day turned at the end, it was initially a good day.
I feel like I should be more excited for graduation, but I'm not. Maybe or day I will be

I'm into the single digits for how many sleeps until I go home :) it's crazy.

I have 3 finals left of my undergrad degree, and one is a take home final

Time is flying


Night!

Jogged for 50 minutes!!!!

Today was a pretty decent day

I started off my day with breakfast and then I started making Elaine a red velvet Oreo truffle cake for her birthday, well her early birthday
I plan on bring it to class tomorrow :)

After making cake I started to work on my take home final for women and the environment, ad I don't think it's going to be too bad to finish luckily.


I had some pasta for lunch and planned on going to the gym with Katie at 2.
Once at the gym was goal was 30 minutes and then my goal was 15 laps, and then my goal was 45 minutes and then my goal was 20 laps
I find that by constantly changing my goal I push myself further and in the end I went for 21.5 laps and 50 minutes, I was so proud, part of me wished I could have made it for an hour, but I will get better and one day I will be there


After the gym I talked with kristy for a bit, she has been presented with son amazing opportunities and the stars haw aligned but she is torn on what she should do. I encouraged her I take advantage of what was presented to her
And then I called my dada to see f he thought it was a good idea I use the airmiles he had been collecting for me to to get a digital SLR camera and he said it was so I ordered a Nikon 3100 for 4975 airmiles and I still have over 100 left :)

I'm excited, it will arrive in four weeks, well arrive back home, not here as I'm gone in 10 sleeps, which is crazy

My evening was spent making chickpea chocolate chip cookie with Jenina :) and they were delicious and they had no flour or sugar or dairy or eggs, just chickpeas, almond butter, honey, dark chocolate chips and baking powder and salt. So simple and so delicious and healthy :)
Well healthy for a cookie.

Soon I will be off to bed. I'm tired from my 50minute jog today.

Night!

Had a wondwrful evening

Today was a full day

I went to my bio anth class at 830 and spent the class reviewing the so midterms in preparation for the final
Then my women and the environment class was good, we made carpool arrangements so I could go to the jam making workshop at our profs house this evening, which was awesome as I was worried I was not going to be able I make it.

After class I had lunch at the school and them I met with Elaine and we hung out before going to conservation. The lecture was good, and quick.

After class I met with my group so we could go over our presentation that we had to how at 330 and we still had to print the final copy of the paper
We kind of three together the presentation and went over things once and did some minor edits.
I then used back to res to print our 29 page paper, I rushed back to the tutorial with our thick paper in hand, clipped together as a staple couldn't handle the number of pages haha

We did our presentation first and I think it was one of the better ones and we answered questions really well and I was proud in the end

After the tutorial I went to go wait for my ride to go to Theresa's house for jam making and dinner. My classmate Shelby and I were the first to arrive and no one else was there after 20 minutes so we started to make strawberry jam and I meet knew it was so easy. Shelby's bf showed up and joined in on the jam making when were we almost done another classmate and we partner showed up and that was all who came. Vesta was also there and it was her 95th birthday and she ha spoken in our class earlier in the semester and had brought signed copies of her book for everyone in the class

After we did our jam we had dinner, it was chili and it was delicious
Eventually after the other two made their round of jam we all sat about for cake and stories and Theresa's partner has some amazing stories relating to her work with special needs children and speech therapy
I learned so much and it was a great experience and now I know how to make jam

I got back to res after 9:30 and I'm quite tired from my long day and should be off to bed

Night!

The nests are really done

Today I accomplished a few things.

1. I completed the nests, all of them, including the ones I was supposed to so only if I had time and I entered the data and sent it off to Russ.

2. I bought healthy and yummy groceries

3. I walked the university hill and did Pilates even though I'm sore

4. I wrote the executive summary for my group paper and formatted it and edited it, which Is good as it's due tomorrow. Though I may have had an issue trying to email it out to everyone. I hope it all works out in the end.

Those are my accomplishments for the day

I also watched movies, washed my gym clothes and my lab coat in the sink/ bathtub and I helped Katie out together gift bags for everyone on our floor as a going away type thing.

I'm quite sore and tired so I should try and get some sleep

Night!

Happy Easter!!

I woke up this morning to no alarm as earlier than I would have like and I have up on trying to sleep shortly after 8
I considered going to the lab, but I figured since it was Easter I would make myself a now breakfast instead :) I had French toast and it was delicious

After breakfast I checked my email to see if the group paper that I have due Tuesday had been emailed out an it hadn't so I contacted the guy who was supposed to do it and apparently he received things late and had to work so he hasn't done it yet, but he was on it.... I got the paper at 3, and when I received it I decided to try an edit it before going to the gym with jenina at 4 and it was a troublesome thing to work on :( Microsoft word dept crashing and not responding, it was frustrating

While I was editing my mom called I wish me a happy Easter and it was nice to chat with her for a bit, we talked about how two weeks from today I'll be home and unpacked :) which is a very exciting thing

Just before 4 the few alarm went off when I was waiting for jenina to go to the gym with me so I took my gym stuff and evacuated the building and then met up with jenina.

At the gym we tried to jog for 30 minutes, but due to all the sunlight the gym was super hot and I only made it 15 minutes before feeling like I was going to be sick
We went on the elliptical for 15 minutes and I worked hard, I was dripping sweat :)
After we did some stretched followed by 18 minutes of intervals working out arms and our legs, then another 12 minutes d intervals working on our abs and butts.
This was followed by some stretching and then 10 minutes on the rowing machine and 10 minutes or arms exercises

We were working hard
We then ran one lap and walked one before leaving, all in all we were there for about 2.5hours it was crazy and we were starving

We decided to make dinner together
Which ended up taking like an hour and half but we had chicken wings and sweet potatoe and carrots roasted, along with asparagus and broccolini and it was all heavenly, and I was super hungry and ate till I was full, sadly it was a really late dinner so now in trying to stay up a bit and digest
We also watched pitch perfect while preparing sand eating dinner

Just before jenina left I decided that we should have a contest to see who could hold their arms out in parallel for the longest and I won, last two minutes
Katie heard the horrible sounds we were making and wondered what we were doing and then she came out and tried to so it and she lasted two minutes like me :)

I then took a much needed shower and now I'm in my pjs about to at ready for a good nights sleep

13 sleeps until home :)

Night!

14 more sleeps... I can do it

I was up at 8 after yet another not awesome night of sleep, I was woken up at 2am by some loud drunken people outside :(

I had breakfast and then went off to the lab and I completed 9/15 nests so I only have 6 more to do and hopefully I'll get those done tomorrow and then I can enter the data and I'll be done in the lab, craziness :)

After the lab I came home and had lunch, I had a tortilla with black beans and cheese. I then had to digest my food before going to the gym

I went to the gym for 3 and met up with Elaine, I tried to jog for 30minutes, but I kept cramping up in various places so it didn't go well, overall it was a lazy gym day.

After the gym Elaine and I went down town and went to hummus brothers for dinner, we had crab dip and then a pesto chicken pizza, it was yummy and only cost us about $5 each because of my gift certificates
I had noticed a headache coming on when we left the gym and dinner didn't make it any better, my head is still aching :(

After dinner Elaine and I walked to save on and I bought the ingredients to make Elaine and early birthday cake that I will bring into class on Thursday:)
I'm excited to make it :) it should be delicious

Once back in res I hung out and watched tv, jenina came by and we chatted for a bit about life as about being lonely and how we both need to work harder at the gym ad we will try to work harder tomorrow.

Then mean girls was on tv, so I'm watching that and my head still hurts so I think I'll be going to bed soon, and hopefully I'll sleep better and when I wake up, my head ache will be gone

14 sleeps until home!


Night!

Not an awesome day...

I slept horribly last night, I kept thinking that the on call phone would ring and I was tossing and turning and the phone never rang. But I still had a horrible nights sleep

Once awake I made Juevos rancheros for breakfast which was delicious.
I texted Becky to see of she was awake so I could drop off the on call stuff, eventually she got back to me saying that Levi was on call, so I texted him knowing that he would sleep in. I waited about and Levi got back to me saying he wasn't on cal.... Awkward. I told him that Becky said he was and then he said that he was taking her next Friday shift, not today, so much confusion, I texted Becky who was on her way to a potluck off campus....

I ended up holding the on all phone till about 4, which was much longer than I would have liked :( and I did nothing with my day as a result. I was going to goto the lab this morning and I was going to go for a walk and I did nothing.

I called home where everyone was at my moms for Easter dinner and I wished I could have been there to eat delicious food and to see very one, oh well soon I'll be back home.

Katie and kris were here for a bit to make a bean salad for the wedding they are going to tomorrow and it was amusing to watch them make it haha. And then they left to go to kris' so now I'll be alone till Sunday afternoon and I was alone most of today as well ;(

It's going to be a lonely weekend, at least tomorrow I can get up and go to the Lab and I can go to the gym and hopefully be productive. For now I'm going to watch tv and eat cookies and rentals go to bed and hopefully sleep better than I did last night

15 sleeps till I leave this place, and I'm ready to go

Night!

Not feeling well

This morning I woke up and I was feeling a bit off, my head was a bit achy but I didn't know what was wrong.
I got up at 7:30, and got ready to go to class

While walking down to my biological anthropology class I realized that my left hip was sore :( my anth class was super dull and boring

And my women and the environment class wasn't much better and it was a bit depressing, we also settled on a jam making session next Tuesday which I'm looking forward too, hopefully carpooling can be arranged so I can go.

I had some oats for lunch while waiting do my conservation class.

Conservation went well, and I was supposed to go to the gym with Elaine but I was feeling icky so I told her that I was going to pass.

I went to res and snacked and had tea and juice and tried to rest in hopes that it would make me feel better, and it didn't.
I picked up the on call stuff and continued to do the same thing, relaxed, hoping to feel better

I made curry for dinner and it was missing the creamy element usually from coconut cream that I lacked :(

Lee brought me a slice of ice cream cake since I let him store the cakes in my freezer :) it was delicious, but I really should not have eaten it :(

I'm on call tonight and I'm worries it's going to be busy because tomorrow is Good Friday, and I don't want it to be busy because I feel icky and I have a headache and all I want to do is rest and hope to feel better in the morning.
About to do rounds now

Night!

Should not have made cookies

I was up at 8 for Pilates and I think I slept a bit Better than normal and I think it's due to my clean sheets :)

Pilates was painful

After Pilates I went to get groceries and I'm hoping that it was my second to last grocery shop as I go home in a little over two weeks, I can hardly believe it.

After shopping I boiled some eggs and cooked up some oats so I can eat them later :)

Elaine came to hang out and she was quite upset with a particular member of her group who did not do her part which is really awkward, I would have been super pissed too!

At 3 I went to the gym and did some jogging, 10 minute jog, then a bit if a stretch then 10 more minutes, then a bit of a walk
I did quite a but if floor work and some stretches, my hamstrings are still killing me :(

After the gym I showered and made dinner, too much dinner.

My evening has been dull and boring and full of too much eating. I made cookies :(
I now feel sick from over eating :( why do I do this to myself

Tomorrow will be better

I'm watching legally blonde and then I'll be off to bed :)

Night!

Should have had 6 hours of class instead had an hour

This morning I was up at 7:30 and considered going to my biological anthropology class, but since my women and the environment class was cancelled I decided to not go to anthropology, instead I did Pilates and had breakfast and drank my tea

The rest of my morning I was killing time until my conservation biology class. I had lunch at 11:30, and it was delicious. I went down to the school to grab a tea before class. I ran into Elaine and we hung out before class, she was trying to convince me to do quiz bowl which is the wildlife societies trivia contest type thing but I don't know if I want to do it, I don't want to feel stupid and not know the answers to any of the questions... But who knows maybe ill change my mind or maybe I'll just go and watch, that couldn't hurt.

Conservation bio was a but dull today, we were talking about policies and legislation which isn't a thrilling topic.
After class Elaine and I were going to go I the gym and on our way back to res so I could change we made some origami rabbits haha, and we were given some dried apples afterwards and they were delicious, I want a dehydrator :)

We went to the gym but Elaine wants feeling it, so we walked the track and talked for a while and then we decided to do lots of arm exercises, my arms were shaking by the end of it and I think they will be sore tomorrow.

After the gym I decided that I would do laundry today. I washed my sheets and my towels and some clothes as well and while I was doing so I made a veggie burger for dinner that was delicious :)

I was a bit too snacky tonight. But ill get better with the not snacking in time. I also decided today that I would take before pictures of how my body looks now so I can see if it improves over time, so I did that and they are now stored on my computer for later comparison

Realistically I'll probably go to bed soon. Tomorrow I'll have Pilates and the gym and I want to get groceries and those types of things, I might even start studying for my finals and I should work a bit more on my conservation report as I have to email out my part by Thursday so mike an put things together and then the editing will begin :)

Almost my bed time

Night!

Another do nothing day

This morning I was up at 730 to so Pilates before I went to groove with Elaine, but while doing Pilates Elaine texted me that she had a bad sleep and wouldn't be going to groove :(

I ha my breakfast and tea and worked on my conservation bio paper hitch only took about an hour of my time and then I just sat about watching tv waiting for jenina to get out of class so we could go to the gym, she ended up having a group meeting so at 2:30 I went to the gym alone

I did some interval cardio, and ended up running into Elaine who wasn't feeling the gym, but I tried I get her to work hard and we stretched and then I went back to res to make dinner

I had a chicken pita
It was delicious.

Today I also cleaned up the freezer and my cupboards which was productive
I should have done laundry but I didn't.

The RA meeting went well it was short and our second to last meeting which is exciting

Now I think I'll be off to bed, I got Pilates to do in the morning haha

Night!

Not in a blogging mood

Last night I had a shitty sleep

Fire alarm at 1:30, and then a text at 5am
Not a good nights sleep

Homework

Good day at the gym
30minute jog :) I was proud and I touched my toes :)

Watched blood diamond with Katie and jenina and now I'm going to bed soon!!
Night!

I was going to go out...

This morning I was up at 4, then 5, then 6 and eventually I have up and rolled out of bed :(

I drank tea and made pancakes for breakfast

I worked a tiny bit on my group paper and was going to go to the gym, but jenina said she would go later with me so I was going to hold off until after res challenge and the BBQ.
I was on BBQ duty and started setting up at 12:30, I also helped set up the music

Grilling was fun but hectic as always and in the end I smelt like meat which is not my preferred way to smell

It was cool today because RAs got to take some of the left over prizes which was cool, I got some neat things

After I was supposed to go to the gym, but jenina bailed and I didn't want to go on my own, so I was sad and ate junk food and a shitty dinner :(
Shame on myself :(

Then the plan was for me to go to the one hit wonders night with Jenina and her friends and I wasn't feeling it but I was going to go anyways, I even showered and got ready, but still wasn't in a going out mood.
Katie and kris came back and were and still are being rather coupley and cutsey and crap which is not awesome to be around
We watched Donnie Darko, but I don't think Katie paid full attention, I had never actually seen it and it was really neat :)

After the movie I decided I shouldn't go out, I was tired and grumpy and didn't want to be a Debbie downer and jenina had other people to go with so I bailed :(
Had I been in the mood and no so tired I'm sure I would have enjoyed myself, but oh well

I'm lame

Night!

A run around day

Up at 6:15 to get ready for my panama class

The class went well and it was short, we have one more class in two weeks and ten that's the last one until we all part ways before reuniting in the Vancouver airport
31 sleeps until panama

After the meeting it was back to res where I worked on my conservation analysis group report, I got a good amount of work done and emailed it out to everyone. I even go some replies back of other people working on it :)


I was suppose to go to the gym with jenina at 11, but she slept way in haha so we agreed to go later
At 1 I had to sit in the mailroom for res council elections and my one hour turned into 1.5 hours when the people for the next shift did show up, they had forgotten. Luckily Adam hung around with me and chatted for a bit, which was nice as I don't see much of him anymore

After that it was time for shopping for study survivor with Jenn, Sam, Courtenay and Allison

And it was crazy shopping trip, everyone was getting so many things in an attempt to blow thei budgets and I think I killed mine on delicious snacks and prizes for study survivor. I am really excited for the event

Shopping ran late and I didn't get back until 530 and I had planned to go for dinner with jenina at 5 which turned into 6

We has sushi!!
I ate way to much and also almost threw up due to a rather fishy roll

After sushi I had a quick phone date with Erica before going to the gym with jenina and we just walked as that was all we were capable of doing, we were so full

Now I'm quite tired and I'm hoping to get a good nights sleep

Night!

Jogged for 30 minutes staight!! Double my goal!

This morning when I woke up at 7:30 I had every intention of going to my 8:39 class but as I ate my breakfast and watched the magic school bus I realized that I wouldn't learn anything and that it would be a waste of time and that I would have a greater chance I being productive if I stayed home for the hour and a half.

I wasn't all that productive but it was much better than attending my class

I went down to the school around 930, so I could get a tea from Tim hortons before my women as the environment class

In class it was decided that we would do a jam workshop instead of having a class on Tuesday next week, which I think will be a really fun experience :D

After class I snacked and waited for my conservation class and say with Elaine and we were reading reviews of a banana slicer on amazon and they were so funny, there are over 3000 reviews and they are rediculous haha

Conservation was good, we continued to giggle a bit about the banana slicer

After class I hit the gym alone and my goal was to jog for 15minutes, and I reached that goal and kept going and going and managed to make it to 30, I may have been able to go longer but my legs were chaffing so it was hurting :(

I stretched out a lot and did a few little exercises before returning home.

For dinner I went out for pho with Katie Elaine and Lindsey it was delicious, I had shrimp salad rolls with peanut sauce and they were delicious

After dinner, I did my Pilates and then called my mom and we had a nice chat and then I took a shower. My legs are tensing so I will massage them and hope they won't hurt too bad tomorrow

Night!

It was almost a really happy day...

I woke up this morning and had my usual breakfast and tea before doing Pilates, it was painful, but good.

My morning was dull until my phone rang, and I almost didn't answer, but it was a 604 number so I answered thinking it could be about the job I applied for with the CFIA, and it was. The gentleman was calling to ask me about my availability and if I wanted a position in Vancouver and I got really excited, until he mentioned that he needed me at the beginning of April so the job could not go to me, my mood instantly dropped. But he did say that there may be more openings later, so I still do have a chance, but I'm still sad

After the call I went down to the school for the class gift bake sale. I say there for 2 hours and got lots of donations.

At 1 I went to the moose for a free lunch :)
Russ and Erin took out everyone who had helped out with their research for lunch, it was nice

After lunch I went to the gym, but I didn't give myself enough time to digest so running/ jogging was hard and I didn't get an awesome workout, but I can make up for it tomorrow and Friday etc.

After the gym I looked for jobs with no luck :(
I had leftover soup for dinner

Took a shower

I also told my mom and dad about the job stuff that happened today and they were both hopeful that another position will come up as I hope so too it would be an ideal job for the summer, but all I can do it wait.

I'm just hanging out by myself, I was supposed to have a "me might" but after the job thing I just wasn't feeling it :(

Soon I will be off to bed
Night!

On call :(

Skipped bio anth
Did Pilates
Showered

Went to women and the environment
Had Indian from the farmers market for lunch

Went to conservation biology

Worked on my PVA analysis

Had a long tutorial,
Now on call and jut killing time

Will do rounds soon and then go to bed

Night!

Touched my toes again :)

Today was a good day.

I woke up and had my breakfast and tea before doing Pilates. I was less sore than I thought I would be today and I think it is because I did lots of awesome stretches yesterday

I wasn't quite stretched enough after Pilates to touch my toes, but I went to the gym after lunch and after some light cardio and stretching I was able to and I had Elaine as yet another witness

Other than exercise i didn't do much today
I made a new gym playlist which is nice to have
I watched movies
I made a yummy yummy dinner

At 9:30 I had the RA meeting and Katie and I were lucky enough to be given princess sparkle who we thought we would never receive, I'm excited to have her and take pictures with her, she also has a hole that needs to be stitched and she needs a bath, it's a good thing I have time :)

Also another fun thing that happened today is Elaine pointed out that she could see muscle definition in my legs, yay, some visible progress front rolling out at least 5 days a week for the past almost 3 weeks :)

Slowly I will get in shape and feel good about my body and now I'm going to try and get some much needed rest, yay!

I touched my toes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had another no great nights sleep, I was up at about 7:30 and out I bed by 8:30

I had breakfast an my tea before doing Pilates, Pilates went well as I did a bit of additional stretching afterwards because I was sore from my workout yesterday.

After Pilates I really didn't so much with the rest of my day. I made soup and watched movies until about 4:30 when Jenina and I went to the gym
On our way to the gym I found a willing roll up the rim tab for a free coffee (the beginning of a great workout) once at the gym I jogged for 12 minutes straight which is a personal best and I stopped because I was feeling nauseous, jenina did so well, she went for like 35 minutes. I did lots of stretching and various other floor cardio exercises and ab exercises

Jenina me my up with me and we did more stretching and I was shocked when I was able to touch my toes!!!! It was awesome, I was able to do it multiple times and I had Jenina as a witness :) after working our arms and stretching we then went on the rowing machines for 10 minutes before heading back to res. all in all it was a 2 hour workout and we both felt pretty awesome afterwards. I was so happy about being able to touch my toes that I did a little happy dance in the gym! We were both tired and sore as we walked back to residence.

I had some of my soup for dinner and bun, and then as a treat I had some eggies before taking a shower, it was a lovely shower, I I'd some more stretching and got into my PJs,

I'm super tired and sore so ill likely go to bed early. Tomorrow morning I'll be going to groove and doing Pilates and Jenina and I might go to the gym again,

Tomorrow I'm also helping to give some yours within res, that should be fun ;)

I'm just going to relax until bed time now :)

Night!

A rather dull day

I had another not awesome sleep and the fire alarm was pulled at 1:30 didn't help

I got out if bed at 9 and spent my morning making pretzels for the class gift bake sale :) that was fun

I was supposed to watch the on call phone for Katie while she did her pool party event, but no one showed, so I went to the gym with jenina

I worked hard, I jogged and walked for about 35-40 minutes and then I did a leg work out with jenina and Ashley which was painful. Ashley had to leave but jenina and I did abs and some stretching.... I'm going to be sore tomorrow, but I'll continue to work hard :)


After the gym I watched pitch perfect, had dinner of a salad and a veggie burger with salsa. After dinner I showered and then spent my evening watching movies with Katie and I think I'll be headed to bed soon, I'm sleep and really want to get a good nights sleep.


Night!

Almost forgot

I'm tired and in bed so this will be quick

Up at 6

Guest past craziness got somewhat sorted

Got ready for bed
In bed
Sleepy
Hoping to get a better nights sleep than I have been

Night!

A blizzard in March

I woke up and was disappointed when I saw snow and upset with the fact that I had yet another poor nights sleep :(

My day wasn't bad though, excluding the snow

My biological anth class was pointless, I should really just stop going but I feel obligated to go since I paid for it

I got to do my presentation in my women and the environment class as my prof actually showed up today, and the other group that was scheduled for today also got to go so we managed to catch up for the day we missed
The other group brought snacks :) so I got to eat which was yummy

I killed an hour before my conservation class and the class went well :)

After class Elaine came with my to res and I dealt with some RA stuff and then Elaine and I bussed down to her place to pay just dance and we also played some super smash bros

We had lots of fun and then went for sushi rather early, we were there before 5, lol

Surprisingly I didn't eat as much as I usually do

After sushi it was back up to res and I didn't make it to the gym but I did do Pilates and I took a shower and now I'll just relax until bed time

Oh and the snow is still falling :(

Night!

A better day than the recent days

Last night I slept poorly, I was tossing and turning all night and was awake every few hours and I guess the power went out at 1:30 in the morning and when it came on at 4, my printer turned itself on and got me out of bed :( I thought a out staying out of bed then, but did try and get more sleep, eventually I gave up and got up at 7:30 and watched the magic school bus and drank tea and ate an egg for breakfast.

I then did Pilates and then started some homework/studying. Eventually Katie came home around 9,

At 11 I had an early lunch of nachos with refried beans, salsa and sour cream before going to the gym. Elaine met me at the gym just after 11:30 and we worked hard.

I was hoping to shower once back at res but didn't have the time, Jenina and I were going to the mall and catching the 1:06 bus. We made it to the mall and I got some David's tea for prizes for my last RA event that I'm doing with Sam, Study Survivor. Jenina was looking for something to wear on st. Party's day and she ended up getting a random skirt and I got a orangutan shirt and a flamingo shirt, I didn't need them, but they made me happy, so I got them

We left the mall and went to value village and browsed for quite some time, I ended up with a slow cooker cookbook and jenina got a book called the host

After value village we went to go have pho and we had salad rolls and soup and it was awesome and amazing and it was a lovely time and a much better day than my days have been lately and I hope to keep things going in a positive direction. I'm going to try and stay up a bit later in hopes that it will allow me to sleep better

Night!

Im all alone, there's no one here beside me

Today was a rather shitty day

I went to my biological anth class at 8:30 and we got our midterms back and I did fine considering the minimal amount if studying I did


Then I was supposed to do my seminar in women in conservation which is worth 30% of my grade, but when I got to the class our prof was no where to be seen and there was literally only my partner and one other girl from the class. We checked our emails to see if the prof had tried to contact us and nothing, people slowly started to trickle in but still no prof
10 minutes.... 15 minutes.......20minutes and so on with no prof finally I emailed her and we agreed we'd all leave in a few minutes, one girl who had shown up late checked her email and she had received and email from our prof saying she was ill and class was cancelled, but she didn't email the majority of the class or at least those who were supposed to be presenting >:(
I was not happy, I was pissed, very pissed

The rest of my day wasn't awesome
I got salsa which was good and my conservation class was ok as was the tutorial. I figured out why was wrong with my group vortex software stuff which I guess was good

When back in res Katie had left a note, apparently she needed to get off res and didn't know when she would be back.... Awesome another night alone and bore out of my mind

I thought about going to be at 6, but that's be a bit early, I forced myself to stay up and I'll go to bed at 9

I spent my evening snacking and I called my dada and chatted for a bit and with my mom for a bit too which was nice, but I just want my time in PG to be over, I don't care anymore.
Your last semester of university is supposed to be about having fun and solidifying friendships and I so none of the sorts, I just mope about
My mom said I'm in a Funk and she's right, but I've been in it for over a week and I don't know how to get out of it.

Also my back is still bothering me so I took an exercise break today and hopefully it will feel better tomorrow because I am not going to take two days off especially since I ate so shittily today :(

Only half an hour more to go before I can sleepy, Wooo


Night!

:(

I woke up this morning to an uncomfortable stabbing pain in my left shoulder/ upper back and I don't know what I did :( it hurts when I breath deeply and when I move in certain ways, I think I pinched something :(

I went to groove this morning and it was nice to go back, it's so much fun and there was lots of cardio today.

I even attempted Pilates when I got back but only did what didn't make my back hurt :(

I went and bought groceries

Worked on synthesizing 4 introductions into one introduction which is proving to be difficult and it quite lengthy :S

Other than that I didn't do much
Sat alone
Watched tv
Did some knitting
Was bored
And alone

Chatted with Danny a bit on Facebook which was nice and I made myself stuffed mushrooms and shrimp for dinner

The RA meeting tonight went by quickly and now I can rest and I hope the stabbing pain is less intense tomorrow

Night!

Daylight savings time = an hour less sleep :(

I was lucky and last night I didn't have any calls after I went to bed, and I was in bed by 12.

I was up this morning at 9, and had a boiled egg and then I did my day 1 Pilates. After Pilates I enjoyed a quiet cup of tea. Katie got home just after 10. Just before 11 I dropped off the on call phone with Sam before heading down to the school for the first of my group meetings

It was a conservation bio group meeting and we worked on it for your hours but our population scenarios didn't seem to be working and we couldn't figure out why. I emailed out prof and we decided there wasn't anything else we could do.

I hung around in the computer lab as I had another group meeting, luckily that meeting went well and only took about 20 minutes, it was for my women and the environment class and we are somewhat prepared for our seminar of Tuesday, I'll do a bit of review and practice tomorrow.

After my meeting I went back to res and didn't know what to do, eventually I ventured over to the gym by myself, but I wasn't really feeling it at the gym, I was feeling bored I need to start to mix things up and the gym and I need to get some new playlists on my iPod

After the gym I made dinner, and relaxed, watched tv.

Eventually I took a shower and then I talked with my mom for awhile and now I'm knitting an watching tv and waiting for an appropriate time to go to sleep.

Night!

A saturday alone and on call.

This morning I was up with the sun, but not out of bed until 9. I had a slow morning, enjoying my alone morning time. I had breakfast and a cup to tea.

I worked on some homework and got that done rather quickly and then I realized that I didn't know what I was going to do for the rest f my day.

Katie left me early, and then I was all alone. I decided to listen to music and clean up my room. I also decided to get rid of my tiny tv in my room that I never use. I unplugged it and moved it to the livingroom and when I went to go take it to the reciprocity shelf I shocked myself on the plug and it hurt, my hand went kind of numb as tingly and I started to feel kind of sick :(

I read up online that after shocking yourself you should rest and drink lots of water, so that's what I did, I drank water and reclined on the couch watching tv.

I eventually started feeling better but still didn't know what to do with myself. I called my dad and talked with him for a bit and I surfed the web, watched tv and then I made dinner of chicken breast stuffed with cheese, broccoli and caramelized onions. And I thought it was going to be amazing, but one piece of the chicken wasn't quite cooked and I chewed it, spat it out and it ruined the rest of me meal and kind of my day. I ended up having a food break down and ate junk food :( and I didn't work out today :( I feel bad
I was also feeling super lonely today, all day alone in a room will do that to you :(

At 9:30 I did rounds by myself and neyoh seemed to be quiet, I could hear some laughter and some movies playing and such but nothing super alarming. Apparently this was not the case in the other building. Krista and Ali stopped by to show me a picture..... Apparently someone had decided to take a shit outside of keyoh.... By the bike rack. A person took a shit outside! I can't believe it, I don't even know how to comprehend....

I still have 11 rounds to do which I will ask Courtenay If she wants to go with me, hopefully those will go well and I an be off to bed. I'm sleepy and I have a day of group meetings and exercise tomorrow.


Night!

Casino night.

Today was an okay day

I was up shortly after 6 to get ready for my Panama class, and it was a good class, we had a quiz and we were given a list of things to bring with us to panama.

After that Katie and I went to the gym. And I worked hard, since I might not be able to go to the gym tomorrow because I'm on call tomorrow, maybe I'll still be able to go.

After the gym I showered and went down to the school so Elaine could practice her presentation in front of me, and that went well

I killed time until my meeting at 2:30 and that went well.

I worked on some homework, made dinner and then at 7:30 I went to tea councils casino night. It was fun, but they screwed up at the roulette table and people ended up with way too many chips so I couldn't win any of the bids :(
Katie and kris woke a few and I was at least able to buy some of the prizes off the table

Now the night is done and I think I'll just go to bed and maybe I'll let myself sleep in a bit since I might have a late night on call tomorrow


Night!

Not in a blogging mood

Today, in short

Breakfast
Showered

Met with partner for women and environment
Went to conservation class
Had grad photos
Spoke with conservation prof about his motivations
Went to the gym
Made dinner
Made muffins did Pilates
Killed time
And now bed!

Night!

Another day down

This morning I was up at 8 and did my am Pilates and they were hard and painful and I needed to take breaks, but I figure trying is better than doing nothing at all.

After Pilates I showered and then I went to a lecture on women's perspectives on idle no more and I took notes for my women in conservation seminar. After that I met up with Elaine and we wandered the career fair, and I didn't really find a lot of options, but that's okay.

I then went and booked a slot to get had photos done tomorrow, I figure that since I won't be at convocation I should at least get photos done so I have something.

After that it was back to res for lunch and then I killed time until 2:30 when Katie got back from class and we went to the gym and I did some nice cardio and some stretching, I want to improve my flexibility.

After the gym, Katie left me and I made some avacado pasta for dinner, and I ate way too much because I didn't think it would keep well, and now I'm stupidly full.

I showered and will spend the rest of my evening relaxing and ill likely go to bed early

Night!

A very long day

I was up at 7;30 and got ready for class
At 8:30 I wrote my biological anth midterm and there were some really arbitrary questions that angered me, but I finished in less than 30 minutes

I then killed time before my women and the environment class. We had another guest lecture and it was short. We also got our making sheets emailed out for our prospectus and my partner and I got 22/25 which was was fine with it.
The class was over early so went back to res to have lunch and print out my notes for conservation.

My conservation class went well and then I had two hours to kill before my tutorial and in my tutorial I had to give an presentation on panama conservation, mine was quite short but to the point.

After my tutorial I had a quick dinner before meeting krista in the common lounge for our gambling awareness event. Our guest speaker showed up with lots of fun swag and we had snack and we were a bit discouraged, when no one really showed up for like the first hour but there was sushi 101 at the same time and once that event was over more people showed up and the event actually ended up going really well, but I'm tired from a long day

My back hasn't been hurting as much as I was expecting, I hope tomorrow won't hurt too bad, I was supposed to Pilates tonight but Katie and kris are hanging in the livingroom and my back is sore so I think I will take today off and just go to bed and do Pilates in the morning and the gym tomorrow.


Night!

Today was a painful day

This morning my initial plan was Pilates and then groove and then that became just Pilates, which got delayed because I was sore.
I studied and eventually did Pilates around 11, and they were painful, my muscles twitched and ached, but I did it

After Pilates I made lunch and some green tea before going to the gym to do some cardio and stretching hoping that it would make me less sore. The stretching was a good idea.

When I got back to res I showered an then I went down to the school to get a gluten free vegan brownie from Morganne who was doing a bake sale for shinerama.
On my way down my shoes were wet an ld while walking down the winter garden steps my feet slipped out from under me and I fell down the stairs, but managed to recover quickly as my feet were on a lower step and I was able to stand up quickly, some girls on the winter garden if steps asked me if I was okay, to which I said yes and then I quickly walked off to find Morganne. I was hurt, my head started hurting and my already tense back and neck were even more tense :(
The brownie was good though and then I got coffee/ tea for Katie and I at time hortons before going back to res.

Elaine came up to visit and vent about her nasty animal disease and parasite lab, it sounded icky. As I was listening to Elaine, I won on my roll up the rim cup, I won a coffee :)

The rest of my day was spent in pain, my back and neck are aching and I can't go to bed yet because at 930 I have my RA meeting to go to, hopefully it can be quick and then I can rest my back.
I finished my conservation presentation for tomorrow and I studied for my biological anth midterm which hopefully won't be too much trouble

Now I wait for my meeting and then I can be off to bed

Night!

Still feeling motivated to work out, yay me!

When I woke up this morning the first thing I did was Pilates and it was hard, harder than I remember and tomorrow will be harder

I had breakfast and did some homework until 11, at 11 krista and I went shopping for our gambling awareness event that is happening on Tuesday, we went with the basics: chips and veggies and dip.

After shopping I didn't do much, just sat around waiting for Katie so we could go to the gym, we went at 4, and my body is starting to realize that I've been working it much harder than normal, my muscles ache , but I will keep going.

After the gym I made dinner, chicken wings and salad and then I had done yogurt for dessert while watching princess diaries.
When the movie ever I showered and now kris, Katie and I are watching the man in the iron mask, I wish it was time for bed, I want it to be bed time,


Night!

A saturday that felt like a sunday

This morning I woke up at 7 for no apparent reason but I stayed in bed until 8, I crawled out of bed and slowly started my day
Katie had planned a pancake breakfast for our floor so I was on pancake duty and Katie made bacon and that took about an hour and then we had residents in out room until about 11:30.

I worked on my music library for a bit ad Katie left to go try and tidy at the school.

I studied a bit for my bio anth midterm and I double checked my nest data that I had entered yesterday and I emailed it to Russ.

I cleaned the bathroom
Washed my gym clothes in the sink

At 5 I went to the gym and did some walking, some jogging and some sprints and then I did some abs but not too much as I will be starting Pilates tomorrow

When I got back from the gym Katie had gone over to kris' again and I made myself dinner and showered and watched phineas and ferb oh and I forgot to mention that today is platypus day! And the phineas and ferb was on from 8am to 9pm which was awesome, there were even some new episodes :)

I'll probably just go to bed because I'm lonely and tired and want to have a productive at tomorrow.

Night!

Today was a good friday :)

I was up at 6:15 and was rather reluctant to get out of bed, but I did get out of bed and went to my panama meeting at 7 and I had to give my presentation which ended up being super short which is rather unfortunate, but it's over so it was all good :) the meeting ran later until about 8:30 and we did fish quizzes an such.

After that I went to the lab and finished the last two nests, but there is still one nest that is missing, but I completed all the ones I could and then I went to Tim hortons to reward myself with something sweet for finishing my nests

I printed off some posters in res as some things for mine and kristas gambling awareness event next week.

Once back in res, I started entering my nest data which took over an hour and a half, and I still need to check the data to make sure I entered it correctly

At 2:30 Katie and I went to the gym and I went on a stationary bike and did a program where the resistance was controlled by my heart rate which was fine until the Herat rate monitor malfunctioned and the resistance just kept going up and up and up and I thought my legs were going to explode :(

After that was abs and stretching.
Then a shower as I went to meet Elaine for Pho and it was delicious, after pho I went to Elaine's ad played just dance 4, and it was super intense. I also made the mistake of weighing myself on Elaine's scale so now I am slightly depressed :(
But I can fix it, and just dance was a real work out and a lot of fun so tags a start.

I bused back up to res and was home by 10, and I'm sore especially my back and my hamstrings and I think I should go to bed

Night!

Im regreting making scones and pretzels :(

This morning I once again struggled to stay asleep until my alarm went off, probably because I went to bed so early last night. I got out of bed at 7:30 and got read for class while watching the magic school bus as usual.

I went down early and grabbed a tea from Tim hortons and went to my biological anth class which was mostly review, and then in my women and the environment class we had a guest speaker. She was a 95 year old woman who was born and raised in Fraser lake. Our pro did an oral history type interview infront of the class which was interesting and the woman was quite funny and her daughter was present for our class.

After class I went to the library to pick up a book I had requested, the bio anth text book as we have our second midterm next week.

I went back to res to print my conservation notes and to have some food. I had a banana and some yogurt and then I brought celery and peanuts with me to class so I could snack. My conservation class was good, and after class I went to the lab for a few hours, there are 2 missing nests and two nests I have to do and then an extra 15 nests and that's it :) so there is an end in site assuming I can find the missing nests. Tomorrow I will finish the two I can find and hopefully the other two can be found so I can get those done and get the data entered. And then only 15 more to go!

Something exciting that I forgot to mention is that I got an email about the job with the Canadian food inspection agency saying that I had net the requirements and that I would be entered into the hiring pool so I am one step closer, but I don't know when I will hear whether or not I actually have a job or not, I guess I should keep looking for jobs just to be safe.


After the lab it was back to res. Katie and i are both on call so we are pretending that we are both on call in both buildings and we are going to rounds together :) the only downside to being on call is that someone should be arriving tonight and we don't know, wait we know. She was already moved in, she just needed bedding an we had to go to keyoh to unlock a study lounge and we brought the bedding with us and she was there to take it, which was awesome, one less thing to worry about :)

I made white chocolate raspberry scones tonight and then Katie and I made pretzels as I ate way too much ad now I feel kind of bad about myself, I feel like a fatty, but I'll go back to the fun tomorrow and sweat it out.

The rest I my night should be spent doing home work, but I'll likely do nothing until 11 when Katie and I are doing tandem rounds and then it will e off to bed with the hopes of getting no calls.

Night!

Yay, my lip is almost not swollen

This morning I had trouble staying asleep until my alarm went off, but at 8 I was out of bed. I had a boiled egg for breakfast and at 830 I went to the gym and did about 35minutes of cardio

Upon returning to res I was informed that the boiler in our building had blown and we had no hot water so I couldn't shower, instead I went and bought groceries. I got lots of veggies and some chicken wings were on sale for $4 so I bought them to have for dinner as a treat. I thought my groceries were going to cost me a lot, but they were less than $30.
When I was walking to the bus stop with my groceries I came across a book in a bag that said free book and apparently it is a book that is traveling the world, so I picked it up and I will read it and place it somewhere else when I am done.

Once back in res I marinated my chicken wings and was about to have lunch when Elaine texted me to go to the gym, and I went, yup twice in one day. We got to the gym and warmed up with a few laps and then Elaine wasn't feeling it so she went and did yoga and I did strength exercises and stretches for about a half hour, I was sore an sweaty and once back on res the hot water was still no present so I did not shower.

I had to hang out in the mailroom to promote people reapplying to res which seemed odd considering the building currently had no hot water :S
I was there for an hour and then went to the lab for an hour and a Half, I was planning on staying longer, but my neck and back were sore, but I'll go again tomorrow. I just relaxed a bit before I made my dinner of chicken wings and salad and it was a delicious meal.

After dinner I worked on my panama presentation for Friday an organized notes and talked with my mom for a bit and when talking with my mom I discovered that the water was becoming warm so I could take a shower.
I took a quick warm shower which was much needed.
I watched the on call phone for Becky while she went to frisbee and there were no calls :)

There is a part of me that wants to bake something, but it might a bit later hmmm
I will have to think about it for a bit.

I think that's all for the day

Night!

Can never seem to be well in prince george....

I was up at 730, and slowly got ready for class.
My throat is hurting and I got canker sores everywhere, even one on my uvula... And my lip has been swollen since Sunday, I think it's infected, it has a sore on it too, so I have been keeping it covered in polysporin.

My biological anthropology class was boring and long and I learned nothing....
After class I stopped by the clinic to see If I could see the nurse, but sadly there were no open appointments. I wanted to get my lip looked at. I will try again tomorrow

Women and the environment was the same old same old an after class I went to the class gift kickoff and hung out for a bit and go some free pizza for my lunch and then I went to my conservation class

My class went well, I got back my midterm and I got a B+ which is okay I guess, not too bad.

I went to the lab for the two hour break I had between my class and my tutorial. I only got 5 nests done but I was tired and not feeling well
My tutorial was soso, we had a debate about the wolves in Yellowstone and everyone within the group was assigned a role. It was kind of interesting and then we got assigned yet another assignment, this class has so many assignments. I now have to make a 8-9minute presentation for next Tuesday, but I have time

After my tutorial it was time for iron chef. It was res event that I was helping Susan and Fabris with. It's basically a cook off with a secret ingredient and this time the secret was quinoa
We made a quick dish in 20minutes to share with the groups. 5 groups participated and oddly they were all male. Some o the dishes were good, but many taste a bit too salty, and by a bit I mean a lot. We announces prizes and then I went back to my empty room. Katie is at kris' so I am just hanging out by myself and I will go to bed soon, I'm tired and I plan on going to the gym around 8:30 tomorrow. I need to get in shape, I may not be healthy, but I can start exercising. My pants are tight and I have more love handles to love and no one is loving them so I would like to loose them. I'm hoping I can become less of a lazy blob :(

Anyways I'm going to get ready for bed and hit the hay and maybe I I'm lucky my lip and throat will be better in the morning

Night!

Reading week was not long enough

Landed in PG this morning at 930 ad it was rough landing and outside looked like a blizzard
I instantly wanted to go back home

I spent the day doing homework and being tired

I went to a pink party for cervical and breast cancer awareness and then had my RA meeting an I am tired

So

Night

Home tomorrow!

Today was an alright day I was up before my alarm which went off at 6:15, so I could get ready to go to my Panama meeting at 7, and our meeting started with a Quiz :( After the meeting I was in the lab for 2 ish hours and I got 8 nests done I now only have 21 nests left from the reference site and them some random nests to do, and then it's just data entry After the lab I showered, and cleaned up my room, began packing etc. and I cleaned up my room while I made lunch After lunch I went down to the school to meet up with Elaine, we hung out for a bit, and then I had to hang around at the school till 2:30 because I was going a grad shout out, basically you say "UNBC has energized me to..." to a camera and it will be shown at convocation so I said " UNBC has energized me to forge my own path" which was fun. After that I worked a bit on my presentation that I have to give the frday after reading break, I figure I needed to start it. I made my own pizza for dinner including the dough :) and it was delicious Ive been spending my night watching movies, and I just spent some time going though job posting sites, which just make me more and more nervous about graduating and finding work. I'll probably hit the hay early and go to the lab in the morning since I dont fly out until tomorrow at 5:20ish Night!

Was too full of shushi to remmeber

Yesterday was valentines day and considering it was my first one alone since grade 12 it's wasn't bad in any way shape or form


I got valentines

Had
Class

Wrote a midterm

Went to the lab

Hung out with Elaine

Went to all you can eat sushi with Elaine and jenina and I ate all I could I was so full, that I guess I forgot about my blog
:S

Night!

Building up the good karma

Today was a pretty productive day all in all

I was up at 8, as had a slow morning, but I began studying for conservation and I did that for a few hours before having an early lunch.

After my early lunch I went down to the school to meet Elaine so we could study conservation. She was a bit late, but I ended up chatting with Adam and grabbing Tim hortons. And Adam sat with me until Elaine arrived.

Once Elaine arrived, we went to the cafe an studied for a couple hours. She also gave me a valentines day gift of cookies and a stuffed Pokemon :) it was super cute!

Studying went well and Cierra ended up joining us for the last bit of our study time.
At 2:30 Elaine had class so I went to the lab to do nests, I was there for just under two hours and I did 8 nests, I would have done more but my back was hurting and I had to study more for conservation.

As I was leaving the lab I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and found out that someone had left their blackberry in the bathroom. I wrote a note saying that it had been found and that it was at security and left the note where I found it and then I took the phone to security. And that was my good deed for the day!

Once back in res I decided to not studying until after dinner. Instead I looked for jobs and applied for a few jobs and just killed time until I had some perogies for dinner. When I was making dinner I called my mom and chatted with her for a bit and after dinner I talked with me dad.
I was having trouble finding motivation to study, so I took a shower and got into my pjs so I could study in a more relaxed environment :)

I'm now studying for my midterm and watching so tv and I'm just going to take it easy for the rest o the night an try to get a good nights rest so I am we'll rested for my midterm tomorrow.

Now back to studying!

Night!

4 more sleeps till home

This morning I was woken up at 6 because Susan sent me a text regarding putting up the class gift bursary bulletin board, she wasn't done her paper and so she was going to do it herself at 10:30 rather than me going to help her at 8, which was good, but sad that I had been woken at 6 :(
I stayed in bed until 730, watched the magic school bus, ate breakfast, and got ready for my day of class

Biological anth was boring, we watched a movie and hit out of class about 30minutes early, so I used that time to study for my conservation midterm in Thursday.

Then I had my women and the environment class. And we got lemon curd scones and homemade raspberry jam since she was late last week. It was delicious :)

After class I tried to get my conservation bio notes but they wouldn't download to my computer :(

The lecture was good
I had butter chicken for lunch and tried to study
I also ran into jenina and we made plans to go for sushi on valentines day, yay!

My tutorial was okay
I got out early and had to reheat the chili for the heart health event.

The event went well. The talk was short and sweet and it had an okay turn out. I shared the chili with the presenters and they were very grateful

After chili and heart health I did nothing but listen to Katie and kris plan out their trip to Vancouver by the hour , it's crazy

Now in sleepy and not being productive. So I might as well go to sleep!


Night!

BCs first family day

I tried to sleep in and I was up at 830 and out of bed by 10.

I made triple berry pancakes from breakfast as they were delicious
And at around noon I went to the lab and did 10 nests

After that I made chili with Fabris for our event tomorrow and that was quick.

And I studied a bit of conservation and made dinner

Katie came home

I showered and soon I will be off to bed, not a very eventful day

Night!

A quicky because my battery is dying and i want todo this now

Today was more productive
Up at 730
Went up to Susan's at 9 ish so we could work on the class gift bulletin.

Worked on the bulletin until just before 11

At 11 I met with Lisa my women and the environment partner and we worked for about 2 hours. Then I did four nests in the lab and then returned to res

I relaxed

Made stuffed mushrooms for dinner
Made too many but ate them all

Finished my draft of the women and the environment prospectus

Now it's bed time and no alarm is set for tomorrow so I will see how that goes

I need to spend time in the lab tomorrow, and I need to study for my conservation midterm as well


Night!

Still in recovery mode

Last night was brutal, people are so stupid and have no respect for anyone.
It was Avery frustrating night and by the end of it, I did not care about being nice, I was a bitch and I think I should have been one from the start

I don't fall asleep till probably after 4 and someone was trying to get into my room at 3:30, I suspect a drunken fool

I couldn't even sleep in, I was up at 7 and 9 and finally got out I bed at 10.

Katie had gone to kris' last night so when she got back I was able to vent about my night and ten I basically spend my day grumpy and tired and did not accomplish anything

At 4 it was Music trivia res challenge so I went to that and it was fun and over by 5:40, then I needed to get off campus so the plan was to bus down and meet Elaine and we would go for pho

We go to the pho place and it was closed from today until the 18th :( so then we went to res robin which was super busy and crowded and I ate way too much

We killed time while waiting for the bus in the dollar store and then we caught the bus back up. Elaine went home and I'm back in res and I'm going to try and go to sleep and to get a good nights rest so I can be super productive in the morning

Res better be quiet enough for me to fall asleep or it will only ad to my grumpiness


Night!

Friday night on call :(

This morning I was in the lab for 4 hours and I am almost at my goal of 30 nests for this week, I got up to 28, and 10 of them were today

After the lab I had lunch

My class gift meeting
And then at 4 I went shopping for chili stuff with Jenn, Nikolina, and Allison. And I got lots of stuff :)

After that I was on call

I made dinner which consisted of potato wedges and salad, and then I ate candy for awhile

930 rounds went okay, and Christina is coming over at 11 for the next set of rounds and I hope things go well
I did hurt one finger knocking on doors during rounds though :(

Night!

Not in a blogging mood

I went to my classes, got back my biological anthropology midterm and I got 83% whih isn't bad considering the minimal effort I put towards studying

My women and the environment class was frustrating

After conservation I went to the gym with Elaine and I haven't done much since other than wallow in self pity :(

I think I'll just go to bed and hope for a better tomorrow


Night!

It's about time for a real entry

So, keeping a daily blog is hard when you are busy and tired and forgetful, but I have some time so I guess I will take this opportunity to give an overall catch up on things. I'll start with today and go where ever my thoughts take me So this morning I did not go to the gym as planned, Katie had spent the night at Kris' and I didn't want to go alone, so I woke up, had breakfast and watched some Tv. I had quite the chill morning. Just before 11 I went down to the school since I had volunteered to be at the Grad Fair from 11-2 for the class gift committee, and I also had to get my photo taken because I had won an award this year. I did that first, I went and wrote a thank you on a chalk board and held it in my photo, and then I had free pizza and such which was nice and I was hoping it would sustain me until dinner. After that it was back to the class gift table, and looked around at the grad photos and all the grad stuff and it really began to stress me out, but I tried to keep things under control. At 12:20 we did a mass shout out, where we all gathered on he winter garden stairs and shout various things along with various hand gestures, it was fun. Then it was back to manning the class gift table. I stayed there until 2, and after that I went off to the lab to work on my nests. I stayed there for about 3 hours and did 9 nests, and was a dirty, dusty ball after, and I was hungry. Once back in res I made dinner, and once katie left for class I called my dad, because I was feeling stressed about convocation and whether or not I want to go, but I was talking to a man who didnt go to any of his 3 university convocations and he only went to his high school one because he was the valedictorian and it would have looked bad if he didnt haha. Then I spoke with my brother Matt about it on skype, and he brought up some points that the money might not be worth it, and it could go towards other things, like my Panama trip or going to vegas or going somewhere fun, and I am leaning towards not going. I then spoke to my dad again, and suggested that I could get grad photos so I could wear the robe and such and get a picture for my mom and for my Granny and such, and that would only cost about 100$ as opposed to the hundreds it would cost me to go to convocation, and my dad could sense that I really don't want to go to convocation. I also talked to my mom about it, and she was fine with whatever decision I make. I think the thing is that I come from a family where graduating university isn't a huge deal, where as in some families people may be the first of their family to get a degree. This is not the case, I come from a family of educated people, and I think the only way I could out do them would be to get a PhD haha. Everyone at school is telling me to go to convocation, so the pressure is on, but in reality, my school friends are my school friends and my two best friends dont go to my school, so that makes me less motivated to go to my convocation, not to mention the cost associated with it. I think it might be a lot better for me to make a cold cut decision and eliminate all the stress this will cause. However, I am leaning strongly towards not going, but I have until April 5th to make my final decision and I think I should be able to figure it out by then. Now lets look at things that don;y involve graduating RA stuff: It's all going well, lots of events coming up from heart health and chili to gambling awareness, I actually feel like I have a handle on my events this semester and I actually think people will show up which will be a nice change from last semester. Health Stuff: For the most part I'm doing better, I have more energy usually, and have been less sick, but still not at 100% sadly I am still a blob, finding it hard to go to the gym and hard to eat well, I find my time is consumed with wallowing in self pity and in the lab going through nests and sadly I can't do either of those things while at the gym. I'm beginning to think I should not worry about the gym for now, and try and start over after reading break, and try to eat healthy and exercise to prep myself for when I go to Panama Panama stuff: Very excited, I have my presentation to give the friday after reading break, but I am not too worried about it Other Classes: Conservation Biology - The TA is a super HARSH marker, I got my proposal back and only got 73% and i thought I had done well, but now I know so hopefully I will be able to do better on the assignments that are worth more. Women and the Environment - Such a silly class, the assignment descriptions are vague and it makes getting things done in that class difficult. I am in a group of two for all the group stuff and we are focusing on women in conservation, which is interesting, and we want to focus on the motivations behind women in conservation Biological Anthropology - Umm well we got our midterms back yesterday, but I missed class because of my interview so I will probably get it back tomorrow, other than that, not much I can say about that class Other aspects of life: I'm still feeling rather lonely, Katie leave a lot to go hang out with Kris and when she doesnt see him for a day or two she talks about how much she misses him, and she is leaving me this upcoming long weekend to go to vanderhoof so hopefully I can find things to occupy my time so I feel less lonely. I am trying to take time to myself and to take time to hang out with people, but it's hard. I feel like I barely see Elaine this semester because we only have on class together as opposed to 3, and I am not at the school very often, and I'm lazy so I dont go to the gym with her very often. This weekend we are supposed to do something, but we don't know what or when because we have to study for our conservation midterm, and other type things. I need more friends. Anyways I think I want to shower before I go to bed, because I smell like an old library because of all the dust from the nests Night!

Job interview

I'm tired so point for it is
Up at 6
Shower
Dressed fancy for my interview
Took the 7:36 bus
Got there way too early
Had my interview at 9
The oral interview went well, it was done via conference call
The knowledge test was quite possibly the hardest test I have every written,

I made it to my conservation class
Killed time before my tutorial,
Had a rather depressing tutorial about ways to control population growth in humans which resulted in a lot of unethical things, like culling humans or sterilization

After that I didn't do much
I was tired and stressed from my day
I talked to my dad and my mum and now I think I'll go to bed

Night!

Best half birthday ever!!!!

So today was not as productive as I would have liked. I was up at 8, but didn't go to groove because Elaine wasn't going and I needed groceries, so at 9:30 I took the bus down to go grocery shopping.
I got the basics, bread, milk eggs etc, it took me an hour and then I was back in res.

I also confirmed my heart health event speaker so I made the posters for that an got them printed and such,

I then worked a bit on homework before heading down to the school for my 12:30 meeting with my women and the environment assignment partner.
We met for about and hour which I think was longer than necessary since the directions for the assignment were a bit unclear

After that I was going to goto the lab, but then Katie invites me to go to lunch, her treat, so I met her at the moose and we had moose fries for lunch, after that I thought about going to the lab, but then decided that it would be better for me to do homework before dinner, and then going to the lab after dinner instead.
On the way back from the moose we ran into Alex, and we chatted on the way up to res about half birthdays and how mine was today and how I wasn't expecting anything.

I got my assignment done for tomorrow, and then I did some studying before having dinner, for dinner I had a chicken stew type thing that I had been cooking in my slow cooker all day.


After the dinner, I went off to the lab and Managed to get 9 nests done in just over 3 hours.

After the lab I had my RA meeting and when I walked into the room, there was a chair decorated that said "1/2 birthday girl" and there were ribbons and streamers and then Alex walked up to me and said that he had totally fooled me and he had me for my half birthday.
He also wrote a poem and had the entire team read it out, and if I had been a crier, I would have cried it was so cute, I felt so special. And to top it all off I got a gift too! Tea, chocolates and a magnet!

It was awesome!
And the meeting was short and now I need to goto bed because I need to get up super early to get ready for my interview tomorrow, I need to shower and such and I am planning to catch the 7:36 bus :S

Wish me luck tomorrow!

Night!

On call and wanting to go to bed

Today was supposed to be a productive day, but I have been struggling to find motivation,

I was up at 8 and made pancakes and watched the first sex and the city movie and enjoyed it. Then I tried to be productive, working on notes and trying to study for my upcoming conservation midterm and working on assignments, but it was slow going, very slow going

I got a few calls, one for a lock out, one for a leaky toilet, and they were easy to deal with

After dinner I went over to Fabris' to borrow clothes for my interview that I have on Tuesday.
I borrowed some dress pants and a blouse type shirt

Then it was back home to try and do some more work and that wasn't productive, Katie and kris came home

I have to be up until 11 to do rounds and in tired and would much rather go to sleep

I guess will say up for awhile and just do nothing until 11 and the do rounds quickly and then I'll be off to bed


Night!

Such a long are tiresome day

Last night was a blast
I danced, and danced, drank a fair bit, learned that Mountain Dew and Malibu tastes like delicious candy. We went to the gay bar in pg, gala, and it was do much fun

We got home shortly after 2am, and I drank some water, took some Advil and was in bed by 4,
This morning I was up before 7, which is unfortunate, but I had to pee. My alarm went off at 8 am today because of carousel, the RA interview process. It was a long day full of hungover RAs, and in some cases RAs were still drunk, haha

I was running the survival on the moon station with Daniel, it was the basic teamwork exercise, and it was a quick exercise to do.

After the activities, the RAs were asked to stay and entertain people as they waited for their interviews, I took on the task of having people ready to go in to their interviews which involved a lot if standing, and by the end of it all the interviews finished almost two hours late
I was exhausted.

Jenn invited people for pizza and snacks at her place, I ate so much and then borrowed the sex and the city movies from Jenn, Katie had to hang back to debrief and she asked me to wait to watch the movies. I took and shower and waits for Katie, but it's been over an hour, I have a feeling I won't be watching the movies tonight.

Soon I will be off to bed, I'm so very sleepy.

Night!

Chanel is going out, what?

So today I went to my panama meeting
Did 10 nests in 3.5 hours in the lab
Then homework
Now drinking and going out, more to come

Night!

Just thought I would add in an update of the night, It was a blast, dancing at Gala was so much fun and they have these giant fans that are awesome, my hair was everywhere, It was nice to go out and relax and just enjoy being with people. I was out late, but it was worth it Night!

Motivation is fading... :(

This morning I was awake before my alarm went off this morning, and I'm getting tired if waking up before my alarm

I had breakfast and went to my biological anth class to write my midterm and I should have studied more, he liked to ask questions on trivial things which is frustrating :( I finished in 30 minutes and then went back to res and had received an email about the knowledge exam I have to take after my interview on Tuesday and I also had to sort out some issues with my student account that I had to get sorted out so I could get a copy of my transcript for my interview.

I went to my women and the environment class and we had a strange lecture and then we did this open space thing to make groups for our assignments. I proposed the topic women and observation and only one person joined my group, but I'm fine with that since I don't like group work, we plan to meet next week.

After women and the environment I had lunch before going to my conservation bio class.

After class I went to the lab for 2.5 hours and completed 7 nests, I'm now up to 20 for this week.

Once I hit back from the lab I had no motivation to do anything, I snacked and made dinner and lazed about like the blob I am becoming :(

Katie and I talked about wether or not we are going out tomorrow night or not and we did not come to a conclusion. We watched some misfits and then I took a shower and now my only plan is to sleep,
I don't feel great about myself so I feel like sleep is a good option, at least I can't snack in my sleep

Night!

I am continuing to swim...

This morning I was up at 8 so I could go to the gym Sadly I woke up with a headache :(, but I still knew that I had to go, and I had convince katie to accompany Once at the gym, I basically just walked on the treadmill at and incline and did that for 35 minutes and then I did some abs and some stretching. After the gym I studied a bit for my biological anth midterm, and then I took a nice shower, got dressed and continued to study a bit. I wanted my hair to dry before going to the school to work in the lab. I ended up making lunch and heading down to the lab at 12:30, I was in there for 3 hours and I got 7 nests done. While in the lab Erin stopped in and so did Russ so they have now both seen me in the lab. Russ also mentioned that he needed a pic to put up on his website and then was trying to get one of the girls to take a photo, but then I mentioned that I had a photo I had taken of myself in the lab, which confused people a little but, but I told him I would email in the photo. Once back from the lab, I emailed the picture to Russ and apparently it is unacceptable because you cant see my face, but I wear a dust mask so obviously you cant see my face, so now I need to try and get a picture of me in the lab, in which you can see my face. I got an email confirmation for my interview, and found out that the knowledge exam might be harder than I thought it would be :( Ay 5:30 Jenina and I went to go get all you can eat sushi and it was a very nice roomie reunion, we caught up on each others lives and ate way too much food. I got back at 8, and I am just finishing this blog entry and then I am going to study a little bit and then I am going to go to be around 9ish because I am very tired. I feel like I should have more to say, but I dont, at least not right now Night!

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming

I just need to keep moving forward as getting things done bit by bit.
I had my 830 class this morning and all we did was review for the midterm, which took half an hour, so we got out an hour early.
I killed time at the university before my next class, only to find out that the class was cancelled so I had wasted time at the school for no reason

I was quite tired today and I found it difficult to focus.

I did some studying, and eventually went to class, learned conservation things

Went back to res, sat at the blood donation table

Drank tea

Went to my tutorial
Completed the assignment
Thought about working on my big assignment but I forgot a jump drive so it would have been pointless

Back to res, tried to download the software, and I couldn't, it would not work on my computer
And then there was a lot of awkward tension in my room, do I went to study for conservation in my room, my room was cold, very cold and I felt uncomfortable, but didn't really have anywhere else to go :(

I studied, had dinner, took a hot shower, and I had to go to res council to talk about gambling night and casino night and I was roped in to staying for the entire meeting and now I am super tired

Night!

I'll just pretend I'm not still kind of sick...and I'll see what happens

So today I had made the decision that I am going to act like I'm feeling 100%, so this morning I woke up at 8, and dragged myself over to the gym for 9 to go to groove with Elaine, and Elaine has also now got Karlee into going which is good. I survived Groove, I didnt die, I managed all the moves okay, thought it was quite exhausting. After Groove I had a meeting with Erin and Russ in the lab to discuss nest progress, and I basically found out that I need to try to get 120 nests done by March which works out to be 30 a week, so I'm a bit panicked It's a lot of time I am going to have to invest and its a bit intimidating After that I had to leave the to go edit my finding proposal for conservation bio, I edited it and read it over and then I printed it, so it's all done and ready to be handed in tomorrow in the tutorial. After that I had lunch and then at 1 pm I met Fabris in the Mailroom so we could get people to sign up to donate blood :) we only sat for a hour because it was really cold and while I was sitting there I got an email saying that I had been selected for a interview and knowledge test for the job that I had applied for with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the only bad part was that it was supposed to occur in BUrnaby next week, so I panicked a bit and emailed back explaining that I was in PG, and I asked if there was a way I could avoid having to go all the way down to burnaby and then it was a waiting game. At 2ish Erica and I had a phone date and it was really nice to talk to someone who I can really vent too, and she needed to vet too, so it worked out well and we were able to catch up on each others lives, I miss that kid. After my chat with Erica I checked my email and they had gotten back to be about the interview and they arranged to have me do it on Tuesday of next week at their Prince George office which is awesome. It's a hour long interview followed by a two hour knowledge test and I am a bit curious as to what the test will be on. I hope it goes well. Fabris is going to lend me some dressy business type clothes to wear for the interview since I don't have clothes that make me look like an adult :S I need to get some interview appropriate outfits. Danny offered to help me shop when I am home, since he is the dressing up expert haha. I think I look funny in business clothes,I look out of place. I belong in casual clothes, but I guess there are times in life when casual doesnt quite work. I killed time and then had an early dinner Called my dad to tell him about the interview, and then I was off to the lab as I am now feeling the pressure. I was in the lab for 3 hours, and complete 6 nests, which means I need to do 24 more this week :S It's going to take some serious time commitment I went back to res for a quick break before or RLT meeting and it was a quick meeting and now I can go to bed, YAY Tomorrow should be a busy day Night!

Finally got off res and did somethjng other than grocery shopping

This morning I was awake around 9, and the on call phone went off just before 10, it was just a lock out so I went and dealt with that and then I dropped off the on all stuff with Becky.

Once back in res I texted Elaine to see what she was up to and told her off my stir craziness and then she suggested we get sushi

At noon I buses down to meet Elaine and we had all you can eats sushi for lunch, but at lunch the best stuff is not included, but it was still good. While at lunch Elaine got a text from her friend Alina who offered to take her shopping and such and she asked if I could join and we ended up grabbing Starbucks and then Alina picked us up and we went to the mall which was fun
I got some fun things at blue notes since its closing and nothing was over $10, I got some button down shirts and some t shirts, including one from Katie that has a T. rex trying to do push ups on it

After the mall we went to superstore, and I got some flour and a few other things and then Alina dropped my off at res and I really appreciated the time away from res, I needed it. In act I still need more time away from res, I'm still feeling a bit trapped and depressed with my life of being sick and doing nothing, things need to change

Once back in res, Katie and I made cookies for tomorrow's RLT meeting and then I had dinner and put up my moose on the loose bulletin board.
After that I went up to see Krista about a gambling event and casino night, and I ended up staying up there and chatting with her and Allison for awhile, but it was nice.

Once back in my room I called my mom and we talked for a bit about how we had both been feeling gross and that we need to get back on such and we also talked about when I'm coming home next and what I have planned,

I now plan on going to bed and getting a good nights rest, and tomorrow morning I am going to go to groove even though I'm still not 100%, I need to start doing things and trying to get in shape, I'm so out if shape

Night!
