Summer is finally here!

The "summer" weather has been weird this year. Lots of rain and intense storms with wicked lightning. TOO much rain though. This weekend has been fairy nice so far though! Since yesterday it's been really warm and sunny. Today there was a smog advisory! :D Officially summer in T.O!

I'm glad that the weather has been so nice because it's been a really great couple of days. Yesterday was really quiet in the office and I was allowed to just get my work done, make my phone calls, etc. I met Sarah for coffee because Second Cup was having their grand re-opening. I had a falafel for lunch first and then went over. There were delicious free samples and then I got a medium caramel corretto for only $2.09. Such a deal! I just hung with Sarah for a bit, talking about the party I had on the 8th. I'm really glad that everyone seemed to have a great time, and I always love just hanging with Sarah. It almost humbles me that someone so mature, so together, and so generally fucking awesome thinks I'm interesting enough to just meet up with for coffees. :)

When I got back to the office, Susy asked me if I wanted to work at SAS during the school year. Ecstatic! Income!!! Generally work/study students only work about 10 hours per week. I might have to go in on my Fridays off in order to do that but I won't have to work Friday evenings or weekends! I might have a life this year. Thank you, Jesus. Susy asked me to take the weekend to think about it but I'm def already decided.

It was a good evening as well, with a webcast from Beth, Kayla, and the kitties, and then a long conversation with Peter, whose 20th birthday is on Monday. I don't really know what to do in order to celebrate that fact with him considering he's quite far away. Still brainstorming though.

Today I had a blood test first thing in the morning. Then Mom and I went to Pennington's and I bought... a lot of things. $300 worth. EEP. I'm getting paid next Thursday though so I think I'll be alright. Obviously I've got a lot of money saved up but I need to buy my books soon. I'm just waiting on my credit card app response (I applied at Alterna - 9.99% interest rate kicks ass!). I did buy seven nice tops though. Well, two are shawls. Woteva. I need to be comfy yet look professional since I'm going to keep working at SAS!

I went to Shoppers as well. Bought waxing sugar. I waxed my arms for the first time today. It wasn't as bad as I thought! I do have a bruise in the crook of my left arm though. That one hurt!

I did some exam review for History of Astronomy - final's on the 25th - before watching Wednesday's episode of the Philanthropist - series I've been watching starring the very sexy James Purefoy - which I PVRed. Now I'm watching Full Metal Jacket for the fourth time since December because it's on and Emi has never seen it.

Not too much planned tomorrow. It was Johnny's birthday the other day so we're going over to Nonna's. I'm excited for Monday because the new episode of True Blood will be online. I am fucking addicted to that show! I'll be sad to see Becky though - her boyfriend left for Scotland today to do nine months of teacher's college. Bummer. Why do all these awesome people for whom I hold a lot of affection have to go through the same crap I did with Peter? I wouldn't even wish this upon an enemy!

Anyway. I'm already rather tired but I will watch through FMJ.
