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!
