Stupid!!!

I have to drop a course by Friday - otherwise it goes on my record and I can't have it go on my record- but I can't until my tuition is paid... which can't be paid until the following friday. So that left me in a bit of a pickle. Then they gave me a number to contact... so I tried that number and guess what! She's out of town until the 16th. Lol, oh the timing! So ah. How annoying is that? So her machine gave me an alternate number which then told me to press a number for whatever I needed except that I have no freaking clue which number to press because none of them are specific enough. Eh. I'm going to see my senior tutor tomorrow anyway, I'm sure she'll be able to help me!!

On a side, I just called Lara's cell and got her machine... she's changed it and now it says "CONGRATULATIONS you've reached Lara's machine..." lol I laughed so hard hearing it - it was perfect timing because it go me before I got incredibly frustrated over this stupid school thing!!

Pictures!!

Heather, Dave, Mique and I in Ottawa after our dinner!!

Heather, Mique and I on our way back from our trip to Ottawa!! We took this in Prescott (??) at our Tim Hortons stop! We're all so zonked! Mique's eyes are closed too :(

"Knock me down till we see eye to eye"

Today Jenn and I drove to Orillia to pick up a friend of her's who needed a lift back to Peterborough. It was pretty fun. We vented about boys, sang along to music and talked about how we needed to get laid. lol. Joking, ... kind of :P. It was too funny. Everything became references. We were having a coffee and a man came and gave us the things he won on his roll up the rim cup - there were two and he said there was one for each of us. That felt wierd.

I was up really late last night. TJ came into my room and we talked until 3 - yikesabee. He cracks me up. He took away my He's Just Not That Into You book. Just so it's known my dear older sister bought that for me for my birthday. T.J. said it's a bunch of crap and he wants to write a book, it will have one page and just say "Talk to him"... or something to that effect. Teej really thinks girls are mental cases. But that's okay because the feeling is mutual :P.

I've got class today - boo urns. I missed my morning class going on the drive with Jenn but that was okay because we just watched a movie. Jenn's going to drive me up to campus for my next boring old seminar, then I have a meeting with Linds and then I have another class later tonight. Then I think Teej, Jenn and I are going to watch The Notebook. Which means I'll cry my eyes out and Jenn will have one single tear. ... I'm just so sensitive ;).

So home this weekend... don't really have many plans except to see Mike, give him a happy birthday hug and his cookies. Mique said something about some interesting plans but I'm really not sure they'll fly. Who knows. I'm sure I'll find something to fill my Saturday night though.

So College profs are on strike now - which means I have two bored housemates around! I know Jenn is pretty pissed. So is T.J. Cause if the strike goes on their classes just get pushed back which means they have to be here longer which cuts into their work-over-the-summer time which means less money... which is not cool. I hope it doesn't go on too long.

My friday night plans are so exciting at the moment. We plan of having our Medieval Drama group over to read through our scripts... oohhh hot stuff! Jenn and I did talk about possibly going out afterwards though. I want to dance!!

Okay, class time... *sigh* :)

It's the freakin' weekend baby I'm about to have me some fun

So it's the sunday morning after... :P, thankfully I'm not hungover - well because we didn't drink. But I had such an amazing time anyway! Friday Heather came up and both of us were tired so we caught up had a good dinner and then went to bed... really, it was so exciting. Then we woke up Saturday and wondered what to do with out day. I suggested going to Mexico (as a joke...) and we decided to see how long it would take to get there. As it turns out there's a Mexico in New York that would have been doable for a roadtrip. We searched the town and there didn't seem to be anything interesting there so decided to find somewhere else. Then I mentioned how I'd never been to Ottawa before and there was our decision. But first... to see if we could get someone else to come. For some reason we immediately thought of Mique and then came upon the quest of finding out how to get a hold of her as she wasn't answering our repeated MSNs! So we called the Sami's to get her number, no answer. We called Maddie, she didn't have it anymore. Heather looked up Mique's residence (which she got of facebook, lol) and we called the front desk who connected us! (yay!!) Mique was shocked and totally up for it so off Heather and I went on our trip to Kingston - Ottawa.

It was a really nice day for a drive and we arrived in Kingston a couple of hours later - calling Mique from her parking lot. We went in, saw her room, grabbed some snacks and were back on the road.... the road only went to Pete and Sean's house though. We decided to stop by and see what was going on. Pete was the only one there so we chatted with him for a while (I hadn't seen him since Thanksgiving) and eventually had to move on to our trek to Ottawa.

Once on the road I called Dave's cell again to see if he was around. But no answer :( so we just kept driving. We had made a list of the must do's in Ottawa... Parliment, the canal, and beavertails, (and hopefully see someone). We took the scenic route to Ottawa... and I'm not just saying that... there was actually a sign that said "scenic route". It ended up taking longer and confusing us. So one we found downtown I called Cassy, Dave's girlfriend, and asked if he had a number other than his cell. He did! Yay! So we got a hold of Dave. Lol, I called him and said "Guess where I am!" and he had no idea who it was but didn't want to get in trouble, so he just said I don't know... then he figured it was me when I said in Ottawa. We decided to meet on the canal.

So we went to Parliment took some pictures infront of Parliment and that was the extent of my Parliment visit. Then we walked over to the canal met up with Dave and got beavertails... which I had never had before and I'm not sure I understand the fuss, but they were good! Then we met up with Laura and Brad (two of D's friends) and some of their friends and all went out to dinner at this pub. We had to leave after that to get back to Kingston so we could get back to Peterborough at a reasonable time. So then we began our journey back. We called Sean on the way to see what he was up to that night, he had plans and we decided to try to get a hold of each other later.

Our drive home was very draining and it felt like we were losing Monique- so we stopped at a Timmies. Honestly, just the sight of possible caffeine had Mique bouncing off the walls and we were all soon the lovely bunch we were when we started out. We got back to Kingston and hung out in Mique's res for a while. I laughed really really hard at this guy named Josh... I felt the need to add that only because he was so funny and he said he liked me because I laughed at his jokes. Which was just more funny - keep in mind how much driving had been done and how incredibly exhausted we were at this point!! I laugh at everyone's jokes though so eh. (Like in my seminar the other day the prof said his wife has one joke: What did the fish say when he swam into a brick wall?... dam" I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in the class who laughed a little bit, but it was funny, in a stupid way). Anyway, off topic.

So, Heather and I started our journey back to my place making another Timmies stop along the way. Got back and were zonked so we went to bed.

And that was my Saturday :)

If only Sunday were to be half as exciting!

Phew

Well, last night I had a minor freak out. Just a minor one though... well actually maybe a bit more. Doesn't matter though because I realized how much I was overreacting and I've come back down to earth. I guess sometimes life just starts to go really fast and we're left looking around wondering what the hell is going on. I started to write a blog last night and then my computer crashed ... thankfully... it was just so negative and probably not the best way to be looking at things.

Landon actually ended up calling to, which was really weird because we hadn't talked for a while. Thankfully he listened to me vent about absolutely everything and his perspective helped me. Helped me by completely pushing me in the opposite direction (which I think is where I want to go..). He told me it sounded like I needed a break from school and that maybe I should just take a year off and work for a year. Really that's not feasible with my program and with where I am in life right now but I guess hearing him suggest it even helped me want to go the right way. It was also just nice to have someone who didn't think that that was failing. Eh. I had a horrible sleep, lol, and then woke up feeling motivated to finish my paper and go to class, so I guess we'll see.

Heather is coming up tonight (yay) I have no idea what we're going to do, probably just chill and relax but it should be nice. Or fun. Maybe one night we'll hit up the Peterborough bars - but we'll see. Who knows!

Today I had my seminar for Children's Lit and I actually had really enjoyed the book that we read in class, but then my prof totally put a different spin on it and that sucked A LOT. I thought it was a nice happy book with a happy ending and happy lessons. However he took the whole book and pulled it apart saying it was completely divided my racism and our white minds couldn't even grasp it. He then went on to say Trent is the most-white school he has ever been to. Hmm. Anyway, I wasn't offended at all by his comments because everything he said made sense and I had only been looking at it from my angle. Oh well. We also found out that when he went to Queen's he had a Thursday night seminar and they all used to drink during their seminar. Apparently they would do the fruit juice and booze cocktail things and get progressively drunk during their seminar. Sounds fun. We contemplated doing that however our seminar is at 11am so we decided maybe not.

So Gilmore Girls. Yes, Gilmore Girls... shows once again that men are pricks. Sorry to generalize like that guys ;). Anyway. Logan cheats on Rory - or did he? I mean technically they were on a break. But really, what is a break? Brings back the whole Ross-Rachel dilemma. I'm excited for the next episode as well because I need to know what happens. I really like Rory and Logan together!

Speaking of Logan... if you watch Veronica Mars you'll understand how much I am in love with him. Well, in all honesty it must be in the name because I love them both. It couldn't be that they're both smart, witty, funny and cute, look great in suits and um are quite weathly, though, that's not it at all. It must just be the name :P. Back to Veronica Mars though. I left Sarah being quite obsessed with the show. She watches an episode every night before bed.

I need a nap, maybe I'll sleep a little better now.

Back in Peterborough :(

And unfortunately I'm back in Peterborough. I was listening to Liz Phair today and I started to wonder about her lyrics for Why Can't I... so I looked them up. I was curious about a certain part cause I couldn't figure out what it said. Turns out it says "Here we go we're at the beginning/ We haven't fucked yet but my heads spinning"... wow. See they don't beep out the fucked, at least I don't think they do, and I've never encountered a radio edit... hm intersting. As intersting as that can be anyway ;).

So I'm back in Peterborough and as much as I was dreading it, it's not SO bad. I mean yes it's cold and I have to walk everywhere, and yes there are classes to attend. But I do have a couple friends here I get to catch up with and that's a perk at least. I also think I'm stuck here longer than I intended. I wanted to go home for March 10th but it's looking like that isn't going to happen... I have to meet my future roomate and then do a group project. :( Really sucks. But who knows, usually I find time to go home, it's very unlike me not to.

I had some things to say when I started this but they're all gone now... Guess that's that ;)
