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!
