College Update

  I officially have only 2 weeks left of my second year at the university of Guelph. I have finally finished all of my midterms and most of my labs. In two weeks, finals will begin. I prefer finals to midterms. Mostly because I don't have classes to interfere with my studying and the material we need to know ends. I think it has been a good year despite some housemate issues. I am excited for the summer, because I am hoping it will stop snowing. Today isn't so bad. It's not snowing, but it is still below freezing, as per usual. Yesterday, my friend and went to the mall, the grocery and the liquor store. It was about one degree above freezing so we thought it would be a good idea to go out when the weather was so warm. I didn't buy too much stuff at the grocery store because I am trying to finish off the food I already have. Which involves me eating a ton of pasta. It's not that I don't love pasta, because I do, I totally do, but I eat a crap ton of pasta. More than people should. We didn't go shopping at the mall. We just had lunch there and wandered around. At the liquor store, I got some cider. It was my first time going there without an adult. It was weird because I sort of felt like I was breaking the law, which I was not. The check out lady starred really hard at my id for awhile and then put it through a machine to make sure it was real.
  I feel like this post is not as funny as my other ones. I think it's because I am tired and hungry. I keep thinking about what I'll do for lunch. I'm thinking either a burger or chicken fingers and fries. I usually get chicken fingers, but I think I'll change it up because it takes a really long time to make the chicken fingers. I could get a cheeseburger. It has been a really long time since I had beef, not since I had to watch the beef slaughter lab for structures of farm animals, not since Christmas. I'm not usually disturbed by that sort of thing. The pork, poultry and sheep ones I didn't have a problem with. Cows are my favorite. I think my beefless diet ends today. Honestly, I just really want mustard. They only leave out ketchup for fries. If you want mustard you have to get a burger of sorts.
  I think I did something weird in Yoga because the muscle in upper back are really sore, which is unusual for me. It's kind of uncomfortable. Oh well, I'll survive. I did something shameful on Friday. I watched breaking dawn part 2. I am not proud, but i was just so curious. I promise I will never be so weak ever again. There is no need for people to panic, I have not gone insane. I just made a small error in judgement. I thought it would be funny. It's like everyone in that movie started acting like Kristen Stewart. It was so boring. No emotions were displayed by anyone. It sort of made me a little depressed. I did feel a little something when they killed one of the wolves, while in wolf form. If he had been in human form I prolly wouldn't have cared. Also, the whole man imprinting on a baby thing was way creepier to see than to read. No matter how much he claimed to just be an older like figure, everyone knew that in 7 years that would change. It gives the creeps just thinking about it. Oh God, new topic.
  Today is campus day, which means a whole lot of people are gonna be in a not so big space. I don't like it. It makes me claustrophobic. Campus day is an event where students in high school come to look at the school, all at once. I'm glad I didn't do that, because I probably would have ended up in Vermont.
It interferes with my lunch plans, because the UC will probably filled with people. Campus is usually deserted on Sunday mornings. I did get a good seat in the library though. It's right next to an outlet, so my laptop won't die while I am here. It usually does. It smells kinda weird though. Ok this is long enough.

Hannah's decision and more snow.

 Hannah can choose between the 2  schools she applied to , U. of Edinburgh and York U.

It is March 15!

Weekend

The House
Originally uploaded by sarapicassa
We had a lovely weekend, on Friday we went to visit Maya and Guy. The kids all got along really well, specially the girls. They have a cute puppy, Saffron, a golden retriever. On Saturday, we went up to Lew Beach to see a house. The House was small but very well built, with good potential. The land the house is on is beautiful and the location good. It is within walking distance of the town. The town is mall but cute and it has a very well stocked convenience store. The Beaverkill is right there. The biggest obstacle right now is the price.

College Update

So I am taking a break from studying, mostly because there is a group of people who keep "whispering" together. I am not one for confrontation, so I am using this time to vent. I wouldn't care so much, but this is a quiet floor. It should be quiet. They also giggle a lot, which is very irritating. I can understand if you want to have a group study session, but don't do it on a quiet floor and actually studying might be helpful. There are also a lot of people sneezing and coughing and sniffling. Now, I am not a germaphobe but it's getting to a point where I check the table and chair to make sure there is nothing gross. I also do not set my pens or pencils directly on the table, because I tend to chew on them.  Don't worry, Mom, I don't chew on my Ph D pencil. I also don't lend any utensils. I refuse to get sick at school. If you get sick and need to get checked out by a doctor here, you have to put one of those mask things on and wait for more than an hour with other people who are feeling just as icky as you are. Not fun. The only time I have been sick this year was when we were in New York, I intend to keep it that way. I don't really know how to describe the library. All I know is when I enter it is day and when I leave it is very, very dark. It sorta just sucks you in. I don't know if that is good or bad. I will continue to study here anyway, because I like it. I LOVE it when it is actually quiet. You can't see me, but I am sending them an angry stare. I swear they are just legit talking now. I am tempted to move. I won't, but I am tempted. We should have a library police force, if you are too loud you will be escorted out. Sort of like ushers at the movies or something.
   So, it gets like really cold here. I mean, there is cold and then there is Canada. Today it was just under freezing and I felt like I just needed a little jacket or maybe just a sweater. It was lovely, I didn't feel like I was inhaling ice every time I took a breath. It was also not too windy, which my hair is grateful for.
   I seriously want to hit something, these guys are just being loud now. Maybe I am over reacting because nobody else seems to mind.
   I discovered a hole in my grey converse last week. It was very disappointing. I have gone back to wearing my beat and holey pair because I don't want to make the other ones worse. I will continue to wear them until they can no longer be worn. I might get new shoe laces though. These ones are starting to get pretty bed and I don't really know what they have been dragged through. I slept in pretty late today. I told myself last night that I was going to get up at 8 am. When 8 rolled around I decided on 8:30. Next thing I knew it was 9:30. I did go to bed pretty late. I technically went to bed this morning. I hate doing that, but I didn't have classes today so I thought I could get away with it.
   I think the noisy group is leaving! Victory is mine! Although I didn't actually do anything, I'm still gonna take this as a win for me. Nice and quiet now, as it should be.
Ok back to studying now. Notice that I did not use an exclamation point for that statement. I don't want anyone to get the wrong interpretation.

I love this.
