Summertime

Finally was warm enough for us to do all our outside work. We had a really great saturday planting our garden, mowing and weed whacking, and finally having a swim. I also got my bike out and was able to go for a ride.
Went with Mike on an adventure to the border today to pick up Left 4 Dead. So excited because its such an awesome game. We already wasted stupid amounts of time playing it. Glad I have another day off tomorrow because I'm going to have a busy busy week. So excited that I hopefully get to enjoy a girls sleepover this week, plus I'm getting some VBS stuff ready with Lois at some point. Need to find time to practice my violin in there because I have a huge stack of work I need to get into. Why did I ever decide to prepare for exams? Oh right, to force myself into playing more. Well its working.

No Woogled Broccoli Head!

Ya I'm watching Arthur...

It's a really nice day out and I figured I would attempt to be active. After doing a bit of cleaning Craig decided he was going to come over and play basketball with me. As far as best friends go, he pretty much rocks. It's handy to have someone who is basically a brother but doesn't have to share your parents or live in your house. Plus he knows lots of stuff to be useful and fix things for me. He beat me in both games of 21 which I guess was fair because I beat him both times on Monday...

So I decided I will take the Canadian Literature english class, but I also found out there is a philosophy class on science fiction!!! I think that sounds extremely fun, so if I don't end up taking cell biology I will take that one. I'm a huge nerd.

Tonight me and Mike are hopefully going to see Robin Hood at the movies. There are lots of movies coming out this summer that I really want to see. Hooray for the theatre being the only easy place to go and have fun in this town :| Gtg get readyyyy

Classes

Timetable is up on the university website. I went to see if the timetable I had planned out would work, and it turns out the english class, classical mythology, isn't being offered in the coming year. I'm pretty sad. Now I have to pick out another english class to take instead. I also think the cell biology class I had planned on taking has a tutorial at the same time as my other class. DO NOT WANT!! I really hope I don't end up taking some kind of dumb classes I don't like just because nothing else works. Stupid schedules.
Grr.

And once again it's way too late

I have a bad habit of staying up far too late doing dumb things. Now I've just been creeping into other peoples lives. I seem to do that. Maybe I wish I could constantly live vicariously through others, but I think I just like to understand how everyone else works. I have myself pretty well figured out. I'm sure I could write a 10 page report detailing my entire personality. When you know that much about yourself, its always nice to get out of your own head and into someone else's. I really need to start recording all the things I think up, because my brain is always going and going and I forget so easily. If I wrote it all down maybe other people can understand me as well as I understand myself. Or maybe no one is supposed to really. I don't really remember where I was going with this, but oh well.
Time to talk about my favorite song of all time, while I'm talking about my mind.
You Can Sleep While I Dream - Bon Jovi
This is my song, seriously. Anyone who knows me understands that I mainly live in my own little world. This is a song about dreamers, who are only limited by their own imaginations. I love music that I can really feel, and no one does that better than Jon in my books. So amazing. K thats it.

thinking I'll get back into this...

Well. It has certainly been a busy 2010 so far.
I finished my first year of university. While I wasn't too pleased with my chemistry mark, I had so much fun. I really enjoy how free university is. Still not very good at making friends, but I've never needed that many to begin with. I'm so thankful I had Rachel in so many of my classes or I would probably not have talked to anyone...
Our family life hit an ultimate low this April with the passing of my grandma. It's been really hard on my mom, but we've always been a close little family and we're pulling through alright.
Me and my momma have been going places together this year a lot, and we've made lots of great memories. First was our trip to Ottawa in february, then we went to Minneapolis to see BON JOVI!!!! Which was absolutely amazing. I managed to out last her in the Mall of America. In June we are going to see the Eagles together because she won some tickets and I demanded that I get to go. Then we are going to see Bon Jovi again, cuz we're groupies.
Now that it's summer and I haven't started working yet, my life is basically just sitting around doing nothing. Me, Mike, Sam and Greg started up a poker night every saturday, which is a nice twist on our usual sitting around playing videogames thing. I love cards.
I started reading the Children of Hurin, realizing that I hadn't read any Tolkien in a while and I really really missed it. So far its exceeded my expectations for it being a bit of a dumbed down version of the Silmarillion.
Thats pretty much all thats up in my life at the moment, but I'll be a bit more frequent in my posts now. THE END
