I think that's it.

First Midterm...Down

I am happy to report I made it through my first part of the first midterm of this semester with no injuries so far. It was actually pretty easy I don't know why I was worried at all...well actually I wasn't really worried as of monday at all for some reason. I was pretty laid back about the whole thing which is completely unlike me. Going into it I was like meh if I fail I fail...bad BAD attitude!!! Honestly though..is it really worth the stress and worrying? My answer : NO. I have more important things to worry about although I wouldn't be able to point them out at the moment.
So interesting discovery...I must have applied for 2 credit cards somehow because another one just came in the mail. Hmm..I guess Ill be making another trip to the bank here someday soon. Maybe after biology today? I dont really feel like going because I walked all the way home I might as well just read the textbook since that's where she gets all her lectures from... Urrgh I don't feel like being here right now!. I actually don't know where I feel like being which is a little odd...
I am feeling a little "up in the air" actually. Work is work..Ive made like almost $1000 in tips...prolly like $500 in paychecks haha...so that's pretty sweet. Travel fund I think so!. Keep this up and I will be debt free after my 8 more years of school..hopefully! Im wishing I was in some psychology courses this semester so I feel like what Im doing is actually relevant to my college career choice...
Getting back to the "up in the air" feeling..Im extremly laid back about like...everything. Everything and anything in my life I am laid back about. I don't think there is such thing as stress at the moment. Maybe Ive just come to a point in my life where Im like hey..what happens happens? Hahaha okay Im gonna go slam my door (roommate needs some communication) and then write in my ACTUAL journal...lmao. Peace

Worst Night of my Life

Tonight...was HORRIBLE. When I first got to work I could tell this was not going to be good. I wasn't ready or something. My section filled up so fast I couldnt get to everyone. It was too much. I did ask for help from another waitress and that lasted about 5 minutes...I should have thought earlier to ask a manager because this was too much for me. I screwed up everyones order..didn't get around to my tables quick enough..it wasnt good. So least to say I ended up in tears half way through the night. I just cracked and couldn't do it anymore. I was getting in serious shit from the manager, people weren't complaining but they weren't very happy, I was honestly going as fast as my feet could carry me and was doing as much as best ass I could. I was definetly giving a 100% effort. So after bawling in the freezing cold outside for about 30 minutes I got a talk from the one manager (who I am not so sure I like so much half the time) and then got back into things. Thankgod for some of the other waitresses and bar tenders. They totally saved me. They covered my section, got me back on my feet, and helped me at the drop of the hat. It was awesome. After that I had an awesome night! I had cool customers and after a few drinks compliments from the manager noone likes, I was laid back and doing my job better than I had ever done it before. Also my manager (the one I absolutely LOVE)totally rearranged the schedual so I could have next weekend off to see my boyfriend whos coming down to see me. She is seriously the best. I especially have the sweetest waitress too helping me out. Not only did she cover for me tonight, she is covering all my shifts next weekend! I totally gained alot of respect for her and if she is ever in need of a shift or two off I would be more than happy to cover her even if I need to make some accomodations.
So that was my night of hell at work. Hopefully that's the worst it will ever be....lets see if tomorrow I can wake up to go running and burn off the last of the upset steam. I can only learn from this experience as well. Hopefully it helps me as a server. Also...I am getting very good at giving fake phone numbers! :P

Blind Eye

Okay so other than pink eye like two years ago this is probably the second possible stupid thing I could have done to my eyes....however it could be alot worse it just makes me kind of squirmish thinking about it. this past weekend I noticed that I couldn't see out of my left eye! Things were blurry even with glasses on or contacts in..so I was a little freaked out. I somehow found an optometrist and made an appointment to see him about it. Turns out the long nights I have been working are taking its toll. My contacts have been drier than usual, and aparently when I took them out the other night I took a chunk of skin off the top of my left eye. Hmm cool... So that's why my eye stung for like 2 hours that night... So anyways no contacts for a week and I have to put these eye drops in every few hours to help with the healing process. Hopefully that doesn't take too long because Im thinking I don't enjoy this much. Is this an excuse for new frames? So to all you who wear glasses...I never thought this was possible, but pretty please make sure you keep your contacts moist so you dont pull skin off the top of your eye!!! OucH!

Also Happy Birthday Greetings to Stefanie!! Dude You're OLD!

Moonlight Sonata

Oh Beethoven...this one is my favorite by far. I first heard a version of it while watching the Corpse Bride, and got my Dad who plays the piano amazingly well (my idol I wish I would have stuck with it!!) to find it for me and start teaching me this song. I absolutely love this song. It's so haunting and slow and beautiful I could never get tired of listening to it. Hopefully someday I'll learn the whole song!

Fish

Oh goodness...taking away your toaster oven? Come on. You can do better than that. I left you in the bathroom with no toilet paper to wipe your ass with and you take away the toaster oven? Why don't you take your knives away instead. I used your dishes to hold dirty fish water while I was cleaning Rome's tank. Bet you didn't know that one did you? Don't worry if you were gonna get sick from it you would have already... it was a long time ago now. So don't ever clean, you never did anyways, don't leave your stuff in the bathroom, you never did that either, and to make it a clean slate why don't you not talk to me either...OH wait you never did that in the first place. Good luck...see where it gets you in life. You get what you give. I gave and then finally had enough. No more going out of my way for you thát's for sure.

Dr. Pratt

I have hopefully made up my mind for the last time. I am dropping my Chem course and am transferring into Psychology at the UofA. I hate that class and I hate this semester and there is no way that I am going to do four YEARS of this! So it's off to something new for me. It just FELT right when I picked up the forms to organize my courses. Of course this first year is almost a complete write off now...Like..maybe 4 courses apply to my degree now? But you know what...I wouldn't be happy doing what I was setting myself up to do. Now it is alot more schooling (about 7 including Ph.D who knows if Ill get that far..) but I think Dr. Pratt seems like a pretty cool idea. And even then Id only be 26 when I graduate which is alot better than some 26 year olds I know now who are JUST making up their minds about what they are going to do now. So...let's see how this goes. Im gonna do some mad summer classes to catch up so Maybe I wont have to be in school for as long as that? Urrgh it's so hard to choose something that you think you are going to be completely happy doing for the rest of your life. Fortunately though I think I may have decided?

I HATE COOKING

I hate it I hate it I hate it!!! I know that my Mom is amazing at it and I dont know how she does it but I just do not think that I am up for it. I have been living on yogurt and granola, oranges and apples, and Campbell's soup for honestly the past 2 months because everything else I try to make tastes like shit!! I like making cookies or desserts or whatever but NO FOOD!!! I made stirfry last night...chicken, lots of veggies and some soya sauce and asian dressing....absolutely disgusting. So all those veggies I made...they went into the garbage! Honestly...this whole weekend the only time I ate was like icecream with Ashley...the odd piece of fruit...and food at work. Thank god for that i think I might be eating there more often. I think I need a chef. I am thinking about maybe paying like...Janice to cook for me every week, or trying to break my boyfriend down to moving up here so he could cook for me all the time. He's very good at it and very good at taking care of me. That way I wouldnt have to worry about what disgusting creation I will have to digest every day. Then there's my peachy little roommate...always eating some kind of vegetarian creation...Fish...fruit...salad... Maybe if she was a little more open to sharing and communication we could work out some kind of deal...like she can cook and I'll let her use my toilet paper. Hahahaha

By the way the job...It is going very good I really like most of the people I work with and most people tip really well Ive already saved up alot of money which is very helpful...(towards my travel fund). The only issue I have had was last friday I was only supposed to work for a few hours so I wore ridiculous shoes and by the end of the night I couldn't walk barely. I bruised the bottoms of my feet and the past weekend has been horribly painful. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. So aside from about a bottle of tylenol...endless blisters...I ended up cutting up a pair of the shoes I bought so that I wouldn't get blisters from them but they are also the ones which are the most comfortable for my bruised tootsies. We got a new manager...he's okay...kind of a dick but at least he's giving me his honest opinion and I can use it as constructively or as destructively as I want. I chose constructively and am looking to use it to help myself become a better waitress. My number one: Time management...I also have to do this in the rest of my life because Im falling a bit behind with school. Ill catch up tomorrow. That's what Monday's are for!

Rebel/Shoe Fetish

Hi okay so I am thinking that my little fetish is BAD. I just spent like $150 on two pairs of shoes. It all started out when I bought a black pair of shoes for work, and they ended up making the backs of my feet bleed and swell up to the size of watermelons. The half price thing with them are just NOT worth it. So I went back and was trying to find a nice pair of funky boots for Fridays (nightclub) and either flats, or a low pair of black heels for everyday waitressing use kinda right? Well I went into Transit and thought that everything was 50% off...little to my knowledge the shoes I had chosen weren't and as a result blew all the money I made last night in tips. (sigh) Owell I work tomorrow night and Saturday I should be able to make up for it. Hopefully these shoes don't hurt me as bad!!! I could barely walk this morning!!!
Now to the rebelling...and back to my roommate. Okay so at the beginning of the year I bought a big pack of 24 rolls of toilet paper. It lasted us like a few months and then when it was her turn to buy...she bought 4 rolls... (umm okay?) because she claimed she wasn't here as much. So I was like whatever I'll just make it even out somehow. But the other day she tipped the scale and pissed me off for the last time. When the current roll ran out (which it did when she was in there) she DIDNT replace the roll. Biggest pet peeve of my life right there. I even do it for people if Im at their houses. So I had finally had enough. I took all the toilet paper out of the bathroom and she gets no more!! Hahaha...I got one up on her when she went in there and there wasn't any toilet paper! Muahahaha! Buy your own goddamn toilet paper!

Pat Nugent

All I can say to this is wow....let me emphasize that....WOW.
This is an article that came out on Tuesday about my Vice Principal that I had in Highschool. I actually find it kind of sad being an B.Ed student myself, having teachers who are making bad choices for themselves and in reality are kind of projecting a negative image onto other teachers particularly teachers in the same school, which is totally misleading because all of the teachers I had in highschool (with a few exceptions including this guy) were all awesome teachers and amazing people... So here's the article! Enjoy!

Brooks teacher faces charges
Rob Brown
Tuesday, January 16, 2007
A Brooks teacher who is believed to be the vice principal of Brooks Composite High School is facing numerous charges stemming from incidents in Lethbridge and Medicine Hat in July and December of last year.
Patrick Martin Nugent, 41, faces two counts of assault and two counts of unlawful confinement of a Medicine Hat woman and another female believed to be her daughter. He also faces three charges of failing to comply with conditions and terms of his release on bail. These include keeping the peace and being of good behavior, to have no contact with the woman he is charged with assaulting and to abstain absolutely from the use of any alcohol and or drugs. All charges were laid on December 24, 2006.
Nugent was also charged on July 24, 2006 in Lethbridge with failing to comply with a condition that he abstain from communicating directly or indirectly with the same woman plus possession of over 30 grams of marijuana.
Although he did not specifically identify the teacher, Grasslands Regional School Division superintendant Duncan Gillespie confirmed Tuesday morning that a teacher employed by Grasslands is currently on leave while he, and Grasslands, as his employer, review the circumstances surrounding the legal situation he is facing.
“As this is a matter which is before the courts I cannot comment further except to say that our focus at this time is on ensuring the students’ education continues smoothly.”
Further information regarding Nugent's court appearance was not available at press time.


Hahaha...here we go again...WOW...I never knew the guy had it in him!

Anal

I know its a gross word I really do and I hate using it but this is the word that popped into my head in Bio today as I realized the possesiveness of some people and their chairs. My biology class has like, I dunno...70 people in it? It is by far the largest class I have been in other than Chem. So you can imagine it's pretty important to get there early to get a good seat. Well stupid me I waited too long so by the time I got there the first 4 rows were filled (which is gennerally the area I prefer to sit in) so I headed to the back of the classroom and grabbed a chair on the inside of the row so I could see optimally. Little did I know that I had taken the chair of a "priness biotch." Her friend had been right behind me and as soon as I carelessly threw down my bag on the table and slumped down in the chair to get ready for my class with this chick sitting beside me, this other girl shows up and says " OoOh...I got ShAfTeD!." The chick who had been sitting next to me said "Im sorry I practically ran to our chairs!" So anyways I just still sat there just out of content that I knew I was literally "ruining someone's day," and it was a little more than amusing.
It did get me thinking about classrooms though and how posessive we are over the chairs that we may sit in for entire semesters. And think about it, ever since we were in kindergarten we have had our name on our chair, that was our place, that's where WE sit. Not miss Suzie Sunshine beside me or Frank behind me, no that is OUR chair. Which makes sense, once again another learned behavior. So Miss Princess had to be horribly seperated from her dear friend and chair of attachment which was aparently pretty tragic. My word for it; ANAL.

What Makes Me Smile

Here's some things that make me smile or happy:
1. My puppy Coora
2. White Lillies and Gerber daisies (Orange and Pink of course)
3. Piano music, playing the piano
4. Curling up in Mitch's arms and falling asleep that way
5. Watching my little sister dance
6. A cup of tea on the deck
7. A sleepy Sunday when I can curl up in bed all day and sleep until Im ready
8. Smooth legs
9. Red nails
10. Sushi nights
11. A hug or a touch from my Mom or my Dad
12. A letter in the mail
13. Meeting someone's gaze, and being able to hold it, and if for an instant get a glimpse of someone else's life.
14. Laughing until I cry (which doesn't take much at all) and my sides hurt
15. A kiss on the cheek, or the forehead.
16. Someone playing with your hair.
17. Listening to Dorian read to me.
18. An old couple holding hands, looking as much in love as they were when they were young.
19. Hugs.

Memories that make me smile:
1. The memory of me falling asleep on my little brother on the bus coming back from a summer camp trip last summer. I was a camp counsellor and he was a camper and he inststed on sitting beside me on the bus but I always got so exhausted by the end of the day that I ended up completely crashing on the bus ride home and ended up squishing the kid. He never complained once. Hahaha
2. While I was in Peace River visiting my grandparents I was eating a cinnamon bun before bed and ended up losing a tooth while eating. Immediately I spit out what was in my mouth and started bawling thinking I had swallowed and that the tooth fairy wasn't going to come anymore. So my Grandpa took a butter knife and went through the chewed up mixture I had just spit onto the plate and found my tooth! My hero!!
3. When I first started dating Mitch we drove out to the lake and laid down in the back of his truck with a blanket and watched the stars. I don't think Ive ever been more in love. It was the most perfect moment of my life. It was such an innocent and beautiful realization. He had to carry me into the back of the truck because he didn't want my shoes to get muddy. : D
4. The time we were driving back from Saskatchewan and our car stopped working in the 45 degree heat because there were so many grasshoppers caked into our engine or whatever its called.
5. The time Chloe and I snuck into the bathroom when our Grandpa and Grandma Pratt were visiting and put Grandmas rouge, lipstick and eyeshadow all over our faces then washed it off quickly so we wouldn't get in trouble.
6. My Dad running down the street pulling my sister and I in our little red sled while we yelled faster faster until we almost peed our pants from laughter.
7. Falling asleep while listening to my Dad play the piano.
8. Waking up in bed, with Ashley, after a night of drinking, with nothing on but my underware.
9. How my Mom and Gramma cry when people show up, when people leave, in sad movies, in happy moments, with happy thoughts,...and how Im beginning to do the same.
10. Face masks and cucumber eye treatments with Lyndsay...haha oh the good old days...

Blisters...Ouch!

So I do really like my job. At the moment I'm still training and figuring things out at work but hey!...you have to go through that at any job! Once Im actually waitressing on my own and know everything about what Im doing it will be fab. The shoes I bought to wear to work however, gave me enormous blisters on the backs of my heels. It hurts like a bitch. Thankfully I don't have to wear them again until Wednesday. You might find me in a shoe store once again buying yet another pair of shoes for this job!
Tonight a few people from my floor are going to go out to supper at my work..So I'll take the opportunity to double check my schedule while Im there. Hopefully a few of the girls recognize me and I get a discount. I only briefly met a few of them Friday night and know the bar tender and one girl really well (we had a class together in college) so I guess we'll see if I can get my staff discount. Haha. I know the cooks pretty good as part of my training was standing there watching them make the food and then taking it to the tables. Well I just got out of bed... (lazy me) and am now going to attempt to go through my notes, re read them if necessary...and get ready for tomorrow! Oh and grocery day... :S Im poor!

Employed!/Workout Summary

I am happy to announce that I FINALLY got a job as a cocktail waitress in an anonymous bar! :D My first shift starts today at 5pm and Im a little nervous as I have never cocktail waitressed before. Hopefully I dont suck too badly at it but it is easier to get people drinks than it is food thats for sure. Im sure I wont be doing it all night as it is my first shift so it will most likely be mainly training. he..he..he..(nervous laugh). I went out and bought new shoes and some pants and a few tops for the job so I hope I don't look too out of place anyways. I have been like worrying and planning this since I got the job like on Tuesday. I even woke up early to go to the gym (note that my running three times a week plan is going well..I have been going to the gym cuz its too cold outside...and I will probably go a fourth time on Sundays for just weights or whatever), and now I can have a nap so I am well rested (cuz Im exhausted), and then I will get up and have like an hour and a half to get ready for work! Yay me!!
Getting out of bed this morning was one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make like ever. I told myself though that I would feel better afterwards than if I didn't go..and I don't want to unbalance my NewYears resolution!! So after the first week I think I have made pretty good progress. I am back up to 30 minutes running nonstop on the treadmill so next week I will encorporate some wind sprints in every ten minutes or so and slowly decrease the recovery time each time I go so I become faster. I'll probably work on that for two weeks. Then I will encorporate some incline to the workout and go from there! Hopefully this gets me back into running outside kind of shape that I was in before December happened. I ran outside on Monday and I was one hurtin unit let me tell you. I need to get into a solid weight/strengthening program as well. I think I will make a list of some exercises that I already know of and maybe ask one of the fitness people at the gym to give me some suggestions. I hate doing them because they are boring so to add some new ones and drop some old ones will be a good idea.
Well I am off for my nap! Ill let you know how the new job goes shortly I will assume. Peace!

How Thrilling

SO my weekend kinda sucked. Aside from sushi and hanging out at Dayna's house, sleeping all Sunday, trying to read my Biology text book and watching hours and hours of Lost episodes with Ashley I didn't do anything too exciting. (although I am now hooked on Lost and that was mighty thrilling)
My little plan on running like 4 times a week is already not happening although I made myself go today. I will make sure I go MWF for sure for sure. Only thing is is that because I haven't gone in so long..I am incredibly out of shape. I get cramps I can't run very far. (sigh) there goes last years training out the window! I guess if I can train myself once I can do it again! Hopefully I get a job soon as well so I can keep myself really busy. It makes the time go by faster b/c I really miss my boyfriend.
Its kind of good that Im up here and hes down there..it lets me focus on myself and my school but at the same time I MISS HIM LIKE CRAZY!!!!! Hopefully he gets into NAIT for next year so he will at least be in the same city! No we don't plan on living together although Im sure Ill be around him quite a bit more then than I am now!

Slow Down and Smell the Flowers!!!!!

Second discovery of myself and the world around me today and it started yesterday with a haircut. I decided to give myself bangs because I was bored with myself, and with my hair. So I whipped out the sissors and voila! I had more layers and bangs and I actually did a pretty freaking good hack job! So like..ANY girl knows that when you get a haircut it makes you feel pretty hot. Not only that the next day I had new classes where NOONE in them knew me!!!! teehee!! Not only could I pull off this new haircut...I can be whoever I wanted to be today!!!

So after class (met some pretty cool people although the classes suck pretty badly chem is my worst nightmare and philosophy puts me to sleep) I ended up painting my nails a dark red color...ive never done them red! So literally I feel like a whole new person from two simple and random things. Then as if that wasn't enough to get me going on a path to self actualization I watched Last Holiday with Queen Latifah haha to make this shorter it got me thinking and also a few things had come up in the past couple days that really made me think..my god we are living life so fast!

Like..why are people in such a rush?? Especially in their relationships??? I can plead guilty to this issue as well although now that Ive kind of identified it for myself I am going to stop. When you are with someone you think things are possible with its pretty easy to get carried away. Like honestly Im only 18 and anything is possible for me at this point in my life. I can do anything I want and that's great! Im focusing on today and tomorrow...not really 5 or 10 years from now. It's stupid to tie yourself down this early in life. So when people are getting engaged and getting married so young and after such a brief courtship it kind of makes you ask yourself why. Even things such as promise rings. In my opinion aren't promise rings just that? A promise that you are going to be with each other or something along those lines. So if you've only known the person for a few weeks Im pretty sure you dont know 100% that you want to be with them forever even if you dont want to admit it to the general public. Or maybe that's just my opinion on the subject. Of course everyone's relationship isnt the same and I don't know the whole story. Not that taking your relationship to the next step is a bad thing.. I just think it should be taken seriously and with great commitment and thought. Why throw yourself into something so completely outrageous at such a young age?

So there's my rant and rave about that...I guess I know for myself, personally, that the only way Im accepting any ring for that matter is that Im going to be ready for it and whoever Im with is going to know this... whether Im 18 or 55...and we would have had to be dating for at least a year; maybe more. Living life in the fast lane isn't what its all about. I want to savor every stage of my relationship and take it as it comes. There's no point in throwing yourself into the deep end only to realize you can't swim. You can't exactly just go back to the shallow end of the pool (or a previous stage in your relationship) once you are drowning in it. It's not so easy to take back a ring, or move out, and still have a stable and healthy relationship. I know a few people who may read this are going to think it's directed at them..no its really not I promise ...a few people's current situations just got me thinking about it is all...

And it begins

This is me going crazy...


The winter term is now upon us as we all gear up to start the fight again. I went running this morning...my new years resolution is to like...not fall out of my running schedual so Im starting today and I cannot believe how un in shape I have become!! I never should have stopped! My hips hurt, and I kept getting cramps in my lungs. Soon enough ill over come it though and be back in the shape that I was. I just never should have stopped!!

My classes today started at 11 and then at 1. Biology does not look like its going to be a class where you can just show up...write a paper or two and pass with a decent grade... This class is going to be like blood and sweat and tears I can already tell...I wonder what Chem tomorrow..at 8am is going to be like? I dont even want to think about it omg. Lol. At least Im good at bio and have a general interest in it...So ANYWAYS...I braved the bookstore and successfully spent over 200$ on 3 books...and it really is a good thing that I can sit down beside virtually anyone and start talking because I did make a few friends in my classes today... Dont ask me what their names are now but it should be an alright semester anyways.

Tonight Im going out for supper...talking to my Mom...and going to bed early. This whole getting up for 8am thing is gonna absolutely KILL me!!!!! I know I know suck it up Michaela...but when you've gotten yourself into a lazy habit and the only waking up before 8 was to get up and go to the bathroom and then crawl back into bed until 11 I think I am going to have a wee little problem this semester! Haha. So I just talked to a friend who works at the bar that I am going to apply at and she said that maybe if I apply tomorrow then I might get to work a short shift this weekend! So fingers crossed. A girl just left so I really hope I get this job. Its at a really nice sports bar pretty close to me and yeah...friendly place altogether. I went there on my birthday and it was good times haha. They even have tv's in the washrooms aparently! Lol. That I have to see!

Party in Brooks

Just a few pictures from my craziest night in Brooks probably ever..let me tell you the next morning was not fun!!!!!

Pictures

There are some christmas pictures from Christmas eve, morning, and day...

Here we go...

Well its the new year....Some things I am going to do differently this year in no particular order....
1) Love friends and family (spend more time with them)
2) Laugh more
3) Bite my tounge a little more and bitch a little less
4) Go running 4 times a week
5) Get involved with something (nothing in particular)

My Christmas was pretty jam packed with stuff to do. Between working like everyday, spending time with my boyfriend and his family, and finding time to spend with my family and friends/.... things were a little hectic. I wish I would have had more time but dont we all? I got totally spoiled too and I loved everything I got. I am so grateful I have amazing family and friends. I am so blessed!!!! It really did go by too fast it feels like I was just getting ready to leave a little while ago. Not looking forward for the return of the roommate thats for sure...

I was a little dissappointed however..me and a few girls from Brooks had a little girls night planned since like...the beginning of the month-just supper- and at last minute something came up and one of our crew members couldn't make it... I did get a good chat in with my Lauren... I really did miss her and it was good to just relax and catch up with her!!! We had porn star martinis with our supper and I swear I could have drank them like juice they were amazing!!! hahaha So new discovery for Michaela!! I went out a few times as well...can't say I remember any of it but meh that just means it was worth it! hahaha...well maybe not the next morning when my boyfriend walked back into his room to find me half off the bed with my head in a garbage can but I thought it was fairly hilarious. I'll try and put pictures up here as soon as I get my little mini camera figured out...its so small I can't see where to hook it up to the computer!! hahaha.

Well my Dad drove me all the way back up to Edmonton today! I was supposed to take the bus but he was a sweetie and took me all the way. I think he felt sorry for me and my abundance of luggage I had to pack all the way back. Awwe lol.

I was pretty homesick when I got back to Edmonton and my Dad left. I probably cried for about 2 hours while I unpacked my stuff. Im a baby...I know...but I really wasn't ready to come back. Shopping sushi alcohol and dayna and or janice will cure me though although im not sure sushi and alcohol should go together. Once I get into the swing of things and get busy with school and hopefully dance and maybe a job I will be too busy to think and all of a sudden it will be April and I will be home for the summer! Well Im off to clean my disaster area!! Happy New Year everyone!
