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!

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!

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!
