Saturday morning starbucks
Well I suppose it isn't much of a morning given that it's 12:20pm.
Right now there is half of me that is completely in love with the current situation I'm in. There is however another half of me that wants to punch me in the face. What situation is that you ask?
Well currently, I'm on my macbook pro sitting in the starbucks at king and uni drinking a $5 coffee. That isn't all, the music playing in the background is very hipster is, I'm wearing a button down sweater and a tanktop with a large necklace. My hair is up in with a ribbon, I'm contemplating life, people watching, just finished registering for an impact/innovation conference and the thing that's worst... I'm writing a blog post.
This isn't something completely out of the ordinary. I do all of these things quite regularly with the exception of the conference. Why am I so torn then? I've never done all of them together. I really want an iPhone now. It would be even better if I pulled an iPad out of my backpack... oh wait hold on, make that a messenger bag. So while I'm partially wanting to kick myself in the face, I think I enjoy this even more. It reminds me of Ottawa... which, I definitely miss dearly. I wish it wasn't such an expensive city to live in. I'd move back in an instant. Though as much as I love it, Waterloo will always be my home.
All this talk about conferences makes me think I should explain them more. I've two on the docket for the next month and a half. The first is TEDxWaterloo which I'll find out if I get approved to go to on the 12th of February (which also happens to be BUGS fudge friday). Don't know what TED is, well no biggie. Check out http://www.tedxwaterloo.com and all the details are there. It's being held in Kitchener at the Gig music hall. I've never been there but I've been told its an amazing building.
The second I already have my tickets for. It's called ignite Waterloo. It's a huge geek conference in the sense that it incorporates all things geeky and fantastic. Here's the website http://www.ignitewaterloo.ca/. It is being held at the Kitchener Children's museum which I have been to. I love it there, it's cute and fantastic. I wonder if they'll have another cupcake decorating contest this time.
Today I have my date with Adrian which I'm so excited about. It's been too long since I've seen him. However, it isn't under after I'm done work and that in itself sucks huge balls. Luckily I'm only there for 4 hours and the store is only open until 6:00.
As I sit in here I keep looking at this one mug and I really, really! want to buy it. I won't however because I'm sure it's $15 and I can get mugs at work for cheaper than normal. Boo starbucks, boo. Why do you make cute things.
Tomorrow then?
Favourite song currently: Ke$ha - Hungover
Favourite piece of clothing: AE darkest denim skinny jeans
Last drink: Venti no fat, no whip peppermint hot chocolate
Work today: Not yet, but give it just under 2 hours.
Currently craving: Chicken chipotle sandwhiches, a Time-Turner like the one from HP - PoA but without the can't be seen rules of course, and you.

Sunday Sunday
Week three hmmm...
Well this week wasn't overly exciting. I need to stop going out so much. It's not even like it's bad going out. Just going out for dinner, going out for beers, going out after work, after class, etc. The bomber and the Huether have officially sucked me in. It's like BUGS. Why is it I get so comfortable in places and it makes me never actually want to leave?
I started thinking really hard about what to do with my life today. I mean, the slowest shift at work in the world leaves me with not much else to do. I've set some goals for the end of January (which is in a whole week). Most of them are school related but those that aren't will effectively have great baring on my future.
In the next week I have to do the following -
1. My resume... I was supposed to do it over Christmas, but that was a huge fail. Then I was going to do it the first week of school when I had nothing to do but then time got away from me and again, huge fail. 3 weeks later and boom, here I am!
2. Apply to grad school! There's no harm in applying. My marks aren't good, I'm not in the right place I need to be but I still can apply. I don't mind spending the money on something that could effectively change my life completely and help me do the things I want to do.
3. Email GRCA and look up local environmental companies about post grad contracts. Especially Rare, LSCA and anywhere else either here or close to home.
4. Get my mirco lab done! It's due the 2nd and I want to have it completed by next week so that I have a few days before I really need to worry about it.
5. Start recording more music... like seriously. I need to get on this. It drives me crazy to hear the most amazing music made by people that are right beside me and then sit and waste the talent I have because I'm not afraid to say it, I'm damn talented.
6. Get better. I've been sick for a while now and even with my supplements and all that stuff my sinuses and lungs are still dead. Obviously that sucks so if I could just stop being sick that'd be great.
7. Final and most important. Go gymmin'.
Updates?!

Currently craving: Water, grapefruit, red pepper, peaches, Mariposa Market Strawberry Cheesecake

The days I want to kick and scream but remember to settle
I've been sick... what else is new right? I'm bloody well always sick.
I can't hear much right now because my ears are all blocked so my music is turned up louder than usual. What's on right now you ask? Well if I told you, I'm afraid a friend of mine would be unimpressed with me. It's quite a good tune too. Makes me rather happy though that wasn't all the feeling that held me for the majority of the day.
I was in a weird mood all day today. Happy to be back at school and back in BUGS.
Unimpressed with the general mood of people and lack of caring. It is one thing to unappreciative of the things that someone does for you when they don't need to. It is something else to completely ignore these things. I mean someone can do something and you can at least pretend to be grateful. Case and point - BUGS lounge. I don't have to clean up after the handful of slobs in there everyday but I do it because it makes the environment better for everyone. I know most people appreciate it even though barely anyone says anything (they don't have to, it doesn't effect them directly so why bother), but there are 5 or 6 people who come in and make the room a disaster zone and reverse any cleaning anyone, not just me, has done in about 30 seconds. Coffee everywhere, shoes up on the couch, leaving garbage behind, being belligerent, you name it. I'm not your mother, so stop acting like a child.
This makes me want to kick and scream... kind of...also... like...a child... hmm... hypocrite much?
Of course other various things were bothering me today as they usually do. I'm just too lazy and uncaring or rather too passive to say//do anything. Besides, currently peace is happening and I'm out of here in 3 months, why cause shit when I don't need to. Instead I'll be selective in those I've decided to be more open with in terms of communicating. I made someone a promise and I don't break it
Favourite song currently: Gotta Have You - The Weepies
Favourite piece of clothing: Turquoise AE track pants
Last drink: H2O
Work today: Nope, but I did school a good bit
Currently craving: Chocolate milk, Swiss Chalet Chicken Soup, Cheese and Grapefruit
I love you passionately, whole heartedly and more than anyone else could in the world.
ps. I changed the template of the ol' blog. Yes? No? Leave me a note.

2010!!
New years resolution... Sunday night blogging! Since I'm back in school and settled and my schedule currently allows me to do this, so I shall.
It's a new term, my last term... possibly ever in school. I'm definitely going through a quarter life crisis thing right now trying to figure the future all out. I have a path I'd like to take but its 99.5% impossible given the choices I've made over the past 5 years.
You would think that having the opportunity to pay an excessive amount of money each term to go to school and get the chance to write exams that say you've got the education to do the things I want to do would have better inspired me to not procrastinate, put others before myself or sleep less. The case is not this. I've had at least one serious excuse each term. Whether it has been a psychotic relationship, a new distraction in the form of a hobby, or someone I constantly want to be around, as much as I'll deny it, school has never been my number one priority. It came in a close 2nd but now I'm paying for it.
However, this is my last chance to fix it and fix it I shall. January means a new year, and 2010 feels like it will be a good one. I've got an amazing support team at home, a great group of friends to catch me when I fall and another amazing few that won't just catch me but will also teach me how to get back up. They'll even empty out a bag of cups for me in case I need to throw up and stick me in the Bacchus position when I've had too much.
It's not just school I need to work on. There are some other things that need to be addressed this year. I need to stop thinking people are going to abandon me when they get too close. Like what is that. If someone loves you, why would they leave you unless you make them. It's not normal behaviour. I want to get fit too. Not lose weight, or be overly skinny or a 00. It's not going to happen, I'm not 12 anymore. However, I think it's important for me to work on my self image and if this is what its going to take then yes I will gym 4 days a week and aquafit and skate and climb as much as I can. Finally I really need to learn I cannot change or control everything or every one. Just doesn't work like that.
There's a bunch of other stuff of course but those are the main things.
Something else new... instant update!
