Eep

I was going to write some sort of chippery blog, until I read Ambrosia's. She witnessed someone die on Thursday and I really feel awful for her. :(

But anyway. It's been a decent week. Sunday we went to Nonna's for Johnny's birthday. I saw ultrasound photos of Christina and Gio's baby! Ahh! She's three months along now and they already have names picked. Scarlett Marie for a girl and Cesare Agusto (after Gio's late father) for a boy. I'm kind of hoping it's a boy. How cool would it be to have a cousin named Caesar Augustus?? Very cool. Either way, the kid is going to be spoiled. Jen and I alone were already making plans on what we'd buy! And we're probably going to help paint the baby's room as well because we don't want the fumes to bother Christina.

Monday was Peter's birthday. My present ended up being a lame-ass playlist with memory-inducing songs. He says he liked it and that it was sweet and that I'm amazing, but who knows if he was being truthful or not haha.

Work was alright this week. It got a bit crazy on Wednesday since we were preparing for the mail enrollment students, but Thursday was alright. The MEs are more attentive than the normal enrollment students. I might even sell books to one of them because she's taking HIST 1050 as a gen ed! Awesomeness.

Thursday, however, was interesting due to the weather around here. It was very bad. There were TORNADOES. In VAUGHAN. 600 homes damaged! It's insane. I was surprisingly calm but I'm a tad uneasy now that I've heard that this extreme weather can last into October.

What's nice is that Natalia came onto campus on Wednesday and I got to hang with her for a bit, and we also ran into Viki and Athina that day! Natalia came yesterday as well and brought Widad with her so we got to catch up in Second Cup for a bit (Widad's been in Israel).

My parents are leaving for Parry Sound this weekend so Emi and I have the house to ourselves, which is nice :D I have lots I want to get done today, and Rebecca is coming over later. Hurray!

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.

My old friend, I swear I never meant for this

Honest, I didn't mean to leave this blog for over a MONTH! I suppose not enough was happening from day-to-day for me to update...

Well, in the last month, I have done the following:

worked, made friends, bonded with the Moon, reacquainted myself with mathematics/ physics, kissed ass, drunk coffee, craved Indian food, gone to New York State, had a sunburn, cried myself to sleep, got a 93% on my midterm, fallen gently out of and violently back in love with more than one person, saw old friends, made new ones, gotten drunk, protected myself from HPV, felt small, missed being in school full-time, spent too much money, decided to eat healthy again, threw a surprise party, ridden in a convertible, watched lightning at 4 a.m., hoped for a better future. :)

That's about it.

I've started to buy my books. I've also decided to buy a bookcase. School starts in about three and a half weeks. Exciting! Eeeeeeeeerrrrrr!
