So as you can probably tell this entry is about the fact that I'm feeling particularly grumpy as of late. It started yesterday about mid day, for reasons I shall keep to myself, so then I fell asleep on my bed for about two hours and woke up and guess what...I was still grumpy. Damn. Normally a nap helps when I'm feeling bad but apparently not in this case. It is now the day after and I woke up feeling grumpy still, though now I really have no idea why...maybe it's just leftover from yesterday, who knows? Part of it I think has to do with me being stressed about school, mostly math actually, my other classes aren't so bad. However, I just found out that my two big written exams (I have one take home exam) are both at the very end of the exam period, one on the 26th and 27th of April. The reason that is a problem is because I'm wanting to fly out to ottawa as soon as I can to get to Curtis and get our fun summer started. Though of coruse I will be working as well! Also there's of course the whole trying to exercise more thing, which I've been trying to do, weekends are always the worst, they're the days when I generally have the most time and yet do the least, but at least I can do a bit during the week. Though this week we'll have to wait and see what happens because I took on some extra shifts and now have a bit less time. Speaking of work, it's been rather frustrating there as well. We've had ANOTHER cashier leave us without doing her two weeks and so the rest of us are stuck picking up the slack which is a curse and a blessing for me in one go. It's a curse because I'm lazy and don't really feel like working extra but it's a blessing because I really need the money because my three shifts a week aren't really providing me with the money that I need in order to save up for Ottawa. But at the same time that's my fault as well, I was rather liberal with using my Visa between paychecks this time around so I'm back to trying to not use it. So yes, that is my mini rant for now. I'll keep you posted as time goes by.
Cheers!

WOO! Two entries this month!
Well, I'm off to a good start here, two blog entries in a month!! Not that anyone ever reads this thing anymore but considering I will probably have lots to talk about over the summer I'm trying to get back into the habit of keeping up my blog.
Anyways, I've been on reading break this week and it's been so nice. It's making me look forward to summer and not having classes! Not that I've really accomplished much besides some recreational reading and I went for a hike up Mount Doug yesterday and that was really fun. We managed to make it up to the top the long way around in a timely fashion even with stopping to take pictures. Trying to be more active has been difficult this week because normally I bike to school but with no school this week I've been a bit lazy. But at least yesterday was the hike and I did a small bit of biking but nothing really significant so I have to get back on top of that.
Other than the hike there isn't a whole lot of new stuff going on right now. Working away and doing my homework, though I've slacked on it a little bit this week. Either way, that's really about all I have to say for now! Hopefully something exciting will happen soon that I can write about rather than all this boring random school stuff!
Cheers!

February Update
So much for writing more than once a month lol. Not that I really have anything all that exciting to tell in the first place but I'm trying to get back into practice for this summer when I'm living with Curtis in Ottawa. It's going to be so much fun. Apparently he is planning on taking me to Toronto and Montreal as well. I think he may want to go somehwere else as well but I have no idea. Either way I'm excited just for the first two places! I think it's going to really fun living away from home for a while. Plus I feel like this is a good step for our relationship because it's about time we got to spend some serious time together, plus at least this way we'll know if we can actually live together. I'm hoping we can. I think it will be difficult at first because we're not used to being around each other so much and I think that giving up my personal space is going to be really difficult!
School is going fairly well. I managed to get two B+'s last semester and a C in English. However I took that extra english exam and I managed to get a B- on it so I don't have to take any more English this semester. So I have Astronomy again, Math (which is awful!!) and Women's Studies. I'm not sure how Math and Women's Studies are going to go, but I'm really confident for Astronomy. I think I'm going to do really well in it! As long as I can get a B or B+ for Women's Studies then hopefully my two marks will help balance out the bad mark I'm likely to get for Math. I try to do well in Math but throughout my entire school experience, I have never once gotten a good mark in Math, I just don't understand it. I've never failed though so all I'm hoping for is a C+ because that is what the requirement for my program is. Speaking of the program, I applied for the fall!! So the way it works is that I'll potentially get an interview and then if I do well in the interview, they wait to get the final marks from April and then review it again and provided that I have everything needed and they like me then hopefully I will be offered a spot! But we'll have to wait and see because as it stands right now I don't actually have a high enough GPA to enter the program which is why my marks this term are really important. So I'm hoping to do well :S
Umm other than that there's not a whole lot new with me. I'm mostly just going to school and working. Though my family is going away to Manzanillo on Wednesday, but they have to spend Tuesday night on the mainland so that they can make their flight on Wednesday. So I'm a little nervous to spend time by myself. Mostly cuz the house makes weird noises lol. But I'll be having friends over for breakfast one day so that will be nice. Hahah maybe I'll have an old school slumber party, haha that would be tons of fun :) Hmmmm, it's not a bad idea actually! Also I've decided that I want to try and learn how to sew on a sewing machine because my goal is to make a super cute 50's looking summer dress :) So hopefully that will play out for me!
Alright well that's about all for now I'm thinking. I'm getting hungry! Time for breakfast :)
Cheers!
