Drunken Nights...

I'd love to say that I've been spending all my new-found free time productively, but unfortunately, I can't... I spent Friday night at the bar with a friend, wandering around downtown and "hanging out" with random skeevy guys. But I guess that's just what I do. We went to Cowboys to scout out potential guys for her, and I ended up with a random. It was fun, but in hindsight, maybe not the best choice. I always end up finding the "out of towners." When I was in Edmonton, he was from Saskatoon, and on friday, he was from Sherwood Park... I don't know what's wrong with me. I think maybe a break from the bars is in my future...

Last night a couple of us took a friend out for her birthday! It was tons of fun, and I ended up drinking more than I had originally planned. But it was her birthday, so there was no harm done! I hope she had a good time too... we will definitely need to go out again sometime soon!

I don't know how other people think, but I have this assumption that when it comes to protection (and all you should know what I'm talking about!), it should be the guy's responsibility... I mean, if they proposition it, they should be prepared, correct? I've been getting mixed answers to this question, but no one has been able to convince me otherwise... Yes, I understand that if something were to happen, I would be on my own with it, the guy could just bugger off and leave me, but I still think that they should provide the protection. Especially if they are the ones who bring it up... Either way, I took care of it.

So I've decided that my "get rich quick" scheme is going to be the lottery. I know what you're all thinking (you non-existent readers that I like to think I have!), that it's never going to work. But I have faith that one day, I will win it big, and I will be laughing all the way to the bank!

Well, other than some lonely tinkerings, I haven't really been up to much...

Until a better day,

The Flu??

So last Tuesday, the ONLY day I had off last week, I woke up and kneeled immediately to the porcelain god. And worshipped again a couple hours later. It was horrible. I thought I was doing better, but the last couple days I've been feeling pretty nasty. Is it normal for the flu to last a week? I was so sure that it was the flu, but now I'm thinking that it might be something else... I have no idea what yet, but I'm googling it, maybe the interwebz can tell me what's going on! Hahah!

So last night I was feeling pretty gross, and decided to have a nap at about 7pm. I got into my jammies and snuggled up under the covers (for a nap, comfort is a must!), telling my mother to wake me up in an hour or two... Long story short, I didn't wake up until 9am. I SLEPT FOR 14 HOURS! And now I'm groggy and cranky, even though I slept for an obsene length of time... And now I won't sleep for days. Thank you sickness, and thank you mom.

So my classes are pretty good so far. I LOVE that I have no school on Tuesdays, but having both of my labs on the same day was possibly a bad idea... I had both Biology (11-2) and Geology (2-5) today, and the day just seemed to drag on. And on, and on, and on. Two three hour classes in a row was bad planning on my part. Thankfully my TA's seem nice. My bio TA is funny, and it seems like we are going to get along pretty well... my geology TA is really cute! Honestly, what is it about guys in geology? They all seem to be hot! Maybe I need to transfer my degree to where they are!

I've been thinking about it, and maybe nursing isn't such a good path for me! I mean, I'd make a kick ass nurse, but there are NO guys in nursing. Which means little me-boy interaction! But I guess it will be worth it in the long run... I still want to be a nurse though... Seems like a good fit for me.

Well, I don't really have much more to say... I'm actually in the middle of Gossip Girl right now, and I need to keep a play-by-play for Michelle, and email her afterwards! Oh, and on another note, after 3 days of devoted watching, I finally finished Kyle XY season 2. And it was so worth the time spent! But of course there was a huge cliffhanger, so I'm kept on the edge of my seat until I can find it online... That and the Secret Life of the American Teenager.

Until a better night

P.S - I'm devising a plan that will make my dreams come true... wish me luck!

My life is so dull!

Alright, my first day off this semester (I was brilliant and arranged my schedule so that I get Tuesday's off!) I spent lying in bed watching tv and daydreaming about anything and everything!

It's been two days, and I've watched almost the entire second season of Kyle XY... It's a pitiful excuse for a day, but I can't help but thinking this is what I'm supposed to be doing with my days off... My bed has missed me, and today, I gave it a full dose of love! Unfortunately I think I'm developing bed sores!

I did, however, hit Chapters this afternoon and browsed the biography section. Lately, I've been enthraled with reading about other people's lives. They just seem so interesting and dynamic. I've been reading A.J Jacobs, and I'm hoping to get some on Princess Diana in the next couple days... It makes me think that maybe I should put the biographies down and actually go out and make something of my life. Maybe one day there will be one written about me... And then of course it would need to be made into a movie! Because that's just how movies are these days (always made "based upon a novel/short story"). I'm not sure who I would get to play me in this autobiographical film... Someone awesome obviously!

But on a more serious note, I feel like my life is losing steam. I don't know exactly what I want for my future, but I know that I don't want to work my ass off all my life with little gain. I want to have a social life, friends, good relationships... I want it all. But I guess for right now, sitting at home, reading boring textbooks and watching Kyle XY.

I can't believe I thought I could handle 8am classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays... Seriously, what was I thinking?! It's only 8:15, and I'm considering turning in early so that I'm not so drained for school tomorrow!

I did do something productive today... I straightened my hair (while watching tv of course!). I'm still not 100% sure that I like it... Yes, I wanted it shorter, and it is shorter, but maybe it's TOO short! It looks cute straight, but curly... It's so different!

Wow, this blog is made up of fluff... Nothing serious or overly interesting at all! Everyone else's blogs are insightful and meaningful, and all I write about is how boring my day has been! Maybe one day mine will be serious, and actually worth reading, but until then, I hope all you invisible (and probably non-existent) readers enjoy it!

Until a better night

Happy Almost Birthday Melissa!

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish Melissa a HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY!!!
I'm so excited you're 18 my love, we can finally go out and partake in 18-year-olds-only activities! We are going to have so much fun!
I'm so glad that we have become such good friends over the last year. Even though we are different ages (only by like 6 months, but the whole school thing...!) I feel like I can really connect with you. You make everything wrong and confusing in my life seem so manageable. I know that whenever I need a friend or a shoulder to cry on, you'll be there. And you know I'd do the same for me!
Anyways, that's what I wanted to post about this afternoon... Even though your birthday is tomorrow, I thought I would do this now! Because you know my style... early as usual!
I loves you Melissa, you will always be in my heart!

New Year, New Resolutions

Today was the first day of my second semester at the University of Calgary. Let's start off by saying this... I was NOT made for 8am classes! Thankfully I had a couple previously-made friends in my class, so making new ones in my dreary state was not required! I have decided that this semester I am going to ace all of my classes. Just so I can prove to my parents (and maybe to myself a little) that I am capable of doing something worthy of praise... So far, I'm on top of everything (which is probably a good thing, considering I have no work to do and there have been no readings assigned)!

On a less boring, school-like note, I finally got the second season of Kyle XY in the mail today! *Girly squeels!* I watched the first season in a day this summer, and I've been waiting for months for the second season to be released! I had to order it online (along with the first season of The Secret Life of the American Teenager), and it was a little pricey, but it was totally worth every penny! This season, unlike the first, has 23 episodes, so it should keep me occupied for at least a couple days... Gotta love ABC Family shows!

I FINALLY QUIT MY JOB! I've been there for two years, and I finally quit. I can't believe it's actually over, but I'm happy. I think... I am having mixed feelings about the whole thing, but I'm pretty sure that I made the right decision for me. Taking some much needed time off to focus on myself and school seems like a great idea at the moment. But then I look back at all the good times I had at that job, and it makes me sad to leave. I know, I sound like a total dork talking about a part time job at a video store like this, but I feel like the relationships that were developed there ones that will last. At least, I hope that they do! On a side note... If anyone from work is ready this, keep in touch... if you are reading this, I obviously want you to stay in my life!

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head, but I feel like I can't write them out on here... Just in case. Maybe in time, I will be able to release everything onto the page, keeping nothing bottled in, but until then, this is all you are getting!

I don't really keep blogs/journals/diaries all that well, but I'm hoping to keep this one up. I'm not writing it for anyone to read (even though it's layed out that way), but if you are reading this, then feel free to continue!

Other than work and school, I haven't really been doing much with my life. I got a ton of books for Christmas, and I think it's about time I cracked one open... Maybe I will turn off Kyle XY and curl up with a good book...
Maybe after another episode!

Until a better night
