wednesday
3RF's
- I'm having a really difficult time finishing off my 101 things to do in the next 1001 days... seems that i'm not as ambitious as i thought. (either to finish the list or to do anything in the next 3 years!)
- i think i'm going crazy. i'm actually enjoying group work (mostly)
- libraries make me happy. i love the studious air and quiet nap inducing atmosphere.
I LOVE MY MCNAB KIDS! they're awesome, adn i'm so excited to go back and work with them everyday. It just about broke my heart when 3 diff kids asked me the same question: "are you staying?" and when i said yes, "forever??". I guess i really underestimated how much people come and go from their lives, so its kinda nice to be a semi - constant for them.
anyway, i should MOST DEFINATELY be doing my assignment right now.. so i should go before my beloved aforementioned group mates start to stalk and possibly inflict bodily harm on me... :)
cheerio

random tired randomness
sooo tired... so this one is gonna be quick... even in point form!
- last day at brunskill today - moving to mcnab tomorrow!!! YIPPEE!!! These are some of my cute little boys!! I can't wait to see them!
- my boss is a moron. he wanted me to start work today, after telling me (or actually having somebody else ask me what time i'd be there)... and then not even appologizing for NEVER calling me back about working there when i asked him about it!
- group work is very difficult
- i did no work this weekend, and have a feeling it is going to bite me in the a$$ pretty soon
- i had a SUPER fun birthday, and now i have lots of piratey loot (still TOO much bootie tho'... if you catch my drift. REALLY need to start running soon!)
- i've just discovered that i have a long distance package on my phone... only thing is, we have STUPID time differences with everybody i love and want to phone!
- i'm in a big "KILLERS" funk at the moment, esp "MR BRIGHTSIDE" - reminds me of Moulin Rouge.
- i have only been home from camp for 1 month tomorrow. Feels like forever and yet just yesterday.
- i am now going to bed! and i am NOT getting up for my 8:30 class. OOPS> guess i slept (or am sleeping) through it. its a neccesity of uni life. don't look at me like that.
so nighty night!

ITS FREAKIN' FREEZING!
OK. So i know its Septemeber 28, but honestly, is it this cold every year???? This morning i actually had to SCRAPE my car windows!! Seems pretty ridiculous to me! On the plus side, the sun is shining BEAUTIFULLY and the leaves are gorgeous. However, to add insult to injury (being our 8:30 quiz) our Mus.ed prof started the day singing "autumn's here, leaves are falling, its getting cold" (or something to that effect...) as if we aren't frozen and dreading winter. BAH! ALTHOUGH... i have to say, i'm pretty pumped about snowboarding! (YIPPEE YIPPEE YIPPEE)
In other news, i think i'm getting relatively on top of a few of my assignments - i don't think being actually on top of things is really possible in this college - but life is running a little more smoothly.
ALSO!! I got to play my first public performance instrument today! In fact i only learned how today! I AM A TRIANGLE PRO. Bow down in awe.
On a sadder note (haha - you catching all the musical references??) Erin and Ashey are leaving Greig Ave, effective immediately. As we have been saying, the landlord is not a big fan of pets... and when he found out, he politely requested that we either remove the pet or ourselves. Ah. such is life. The upside is that we get to stay, and the dog gets to go. I would feel bad, but after a summer of paying rent and not living there, i think i might have been a little choked to have to find a new home.
anyway... hope you have a fantastically purple day.

so my dad thinks i'm on pot....
He might actually be right, sadly. I forgot (literally) that it is my birthday on Sunday! I was talking to my sis and relaying messages from my dad to her and he said "its your birthday" and i actually thought he was talking about her birthday... OOPS. is it a sign of getting older or just blonder?? Damn hair dye.
ANYWAY! The point of this little ramble is to invite YOU (if you're actually a person i know, possible love and actually like) to my birthday party - with a special guest appearance of my almost birthday-twin Evan Cole. (he thinks that i'm the guest, but its at my house, so CLEARLY HE'S the guest. Don't tell him tho'... i think he'd be sad.)
Since EVERY good party needs a theme, we're gonna have a Pirate Pop - Luck (ie: bring - or steal- somebody else's pop or chips or something) and come party with us!
Some of us (no names mentioned) are going all out in the pirate gear, so feel free to come pirated up!
The whole Shindig is set to start somewhere around 7:30 at my house. If you don't know where that is, call or email me.
See you here!

Random Friday Ramblings
Wow, hard to believe its Friday already, and here i am, procrastinating and reading blogs of friends in Vancouver... we miss you Beth and Lisa... and wishing i could be there and see old and new friends, and a city i really like. maybe i should write a couple of emails.
Well, enough rambling to that effect - can you tell that i really don't want to do my homework? - I think i might go clean my car with the Free Clean Coupon i got. YAY. i love free things. ALSO - if you've never heard of it before, there is a yahoo group called "freecycle" which appears to be awesome. Anna's used it a couple times - place to give and get stuff that is unwanted.. i like the concept.
Till later!

life
this is cute. it was emailed to me, and i thought it might be worth posting here instead of forwarding and being deleted.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told a child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

NUMA NUMA
More wise words from the summer! Seriously, this song was like a cult trigger... EVERY SINGLE camp we played this (usually numerously!) and kids bopped to it. Quite hilarious. Check out the subtitles if you like... there are some really poetic words in here! Numa numa video
Sometime if i ever get a copy of it, i'll play you "tecno river". You've never heard the song...you know... "in my life, you are the river... purify, wash away", until you've heard the techno version. Turns out that its actually a Keats song from way back in the day - and they did a remix as a joke... hehe. you have to hear it someday!
