call me ;)

YAY I finally got my new blackberry!

only downside: my old sim card had to be "destroyed" so i have to transfer all my phone numbers manually into the new phone.

After i finally seemed to master the macbook, i am now presented with a new piece of technology that I cannot understand.  I'll wait for Christina D to get back, so that i can get a little tutorial...

which reminds me, if you have bbm send me your pins...I feel really popular with the two contacts that i currently have.

one of these days, i'm just going to lose it

I've realized that i have all these weird things that make me very upset, and i have decided to formulate a list:

1.  I will get upset if anyone tells me what time it is before i go to bed. (because then i will know how many hours i did not sleep).
2. So help me if someone touches my stuff... or rearranges my stuff.  I place everything in a specific order (we can all recall the pen incident of sec 5), and i can tell when something is out of place.
3. I HATE it when people close my windows on my computer, but even worse is when people don't sign out of whatever it is they were doing. I have a specific order of my tabs, and i hate having to reopen everything.
4. I always have to leave at least one piece of food on my plate, even if i'm really hungry I always leave something.
5. I need at least one window open in a car, because i cant stand the feeling of knowing that other people are breathing in a confined area, and i get really anxious if the car radio is too loud.
6. I will have an anxiety attack if someone is breathing too close to me.
7. I don't like people drinking from my glass.
8. When i get home, the first thing i do is wash my hands, and i usually walk around my house with my jacket still on for a good ten minutes.
9. If i'm in a room, i need the door to be closed.

I'm sure there are plenty more, but that's all i could think of for the moment.

latest obsession: red velvet cupcakes

The greatest thing in my life right now are these damn cupcakes.

Go to starbucks and try them.  The first time I did, i had two in one day.

They put them in these damn boxes that take them FOREVER to assemble, and you look like a loser walking around with a massive cake box.

 

It is also crucial to maintain an appropriate cupcake-to-frosting ratio.

vday summary

my vday went and past without any major event.  I actually really enjoyed walking into work today to find out that im not the only one dying alone.

I cant say I did nothing on vday though.  I did go out to have a lovely dinner during my study break with jamie, laura and mike.  Finding a place to eat was an event in itself.  We had three unbeatable events working against us: saturday night, valentine's day and celine dion concert.

After finding parking we went some random restaurant dtown and had some wine and some pasta. 

The highlight of my night, was that the latino waiter has hitting on me (so I didn't feel completely unwanted on vday).

But alas, I went home alone. At a decent hour.

on a side note, i think that we talk about our lives way to loudly at work because i had a lot of customers who felt the need to tell me they didn't do anything last night either.

my organization skills: A+

I went into astrobiology today, thinking I would start fresh and start taking notes.  I decided to shrug off my bad feelings of the midterm and concentrate on improving for the future.....

That was when I realized that my paper was due. Today.

I had to skip my class and watch an effing symposium on high speed while frantically typing at the same time.

Adam pointed out to me that perhaps school isn't for me.

Apparently I have the appearance of a good student, but in practice I have miserable results.

I just think I should buy a goddamn agenda to write down my homework.

limo service

I have had such an eventful morning, and i haven't even finished my first coffee yet. I had about five hours of sleep, but managed to wake up on time and catch my bus. After staying on the bus for a good five minutes, i realized that i forgot my phone at home. I stayed on the bus because i couldn't decide what was worse: being late for my morning class or staying at school for 8 hours without a phone.

Needless to say i got off the bus and had to walk a good 20 minutes home, in the cold.

After retrieving my phone and getting on a second bus, my mom called saying that my dad had come to visit and could drive me to school.

I got off the bus again and waited on a street corner for him to pick me up.

I seriously think it was worth it. I hadn't seen my father in a while and we had a good chat on the way downtown. He lectured me on my spending and working too much. But unlike my mother, when he lectures me I shut up and listen, instead of answering back.

He openly said that he disproves of me being in school without knowing what I want to do and that i need to choose a career blah blah blah. The best line was; "you better not become a school cockroach" (said with a spanish accent)

We also stopped by starbucks to pick up some coffees, while he scolded me again about how "sugar is going to kill you." The best part of all this was that he drove me straight into school, past the gates. I felt like such an idiot getting a lift straight to class in a towncar, i probably looked like some lazy rich kid who gets limo service to school. I told him not to pass the gates, but apparently he does it all the time, so there actually are rich kids who get limo service to school in the morning. phhh

Whateves, i got to school on time, free coffee and advice for my future.

midterms

i am wired.

i had 2 large coffees in the matter of 4 hours.

please let this result in productive studying.

I have a midterm tomorrow, and odds are that its not going to go so well...

I have decided to trap myself in the library for at least another 7 hours and hope for the best.

v-day

I just want to bring to everyone's attention that valentine's day is this weekend.  Obviously i have no plans, and will probably just spend the night studying.  I refuse to go out and surround myself with single losers (yes i am aware that i am a single loser).  But nevertheless to any future prospects out there feel very free to come forth with any valentine's day surprises.

Just thought i should put that out there.

and aleasha i  pure thought of you, ill probably end up at home watching the notebook.

Goodbye my love

unfortunately in less than a week, Julian is heading off for T.O.  Apparently he thinks its a good idea to expand his knowledge, and learn more about makeup, while living in a cool place and working at a trendy salon. phhh

I know that he's only going to be gone for two months, but i'm really going to miss him.  I also have a feeling that he's going to love toronto, and never come home again...

While looking for something to post on this blog, I came across some early photos which are awesome.  I think this was the first time we went to parking together, one of the many disastrous nights we spent there.

productive studying

Seeing as how I have two midterms this week, I thought it would be a great idea to study in a group at school.

Total study time= 3 hours.

I think where we went wrong, was when we made the decision to have all you-can-eat sushi. It took us forever to choose a place to eat and once we were eating, we couldn't leave until we finished everything (im very impressed at the amount that was eaten by jamie joe and mike, but vince on the other hand...)

Point being, the dinner led to our downfall and we spent the rest of the night relaxing on questionably sanitary couches instead of power studying.
