In 24 hours I will be on a plane to Calgary. Should be fun, except the stars are against me. My horoscope for tomorrow is:
Beware -- if you travel a possible delay or setback might occur and make you late for your destination.
Which means that my mom will get lost driving me to our miniture airport and then I will miss my fight. That or maybe it will snow, which apparently I'm missing since it will snow here on New Years and I'm in Calgary :( Though there is snow in Calgary and according to some people, it will be -20 degrees the first three days of my visit. I really think the universe is out to get me and I will indeed die! I was not made to survive in that sort of cold. The rest of my horoscope for tomorrow goes like this:
You're in the mood to hibernate, and looking for just the right company to go into hiding with. You know who to call. Why be shy? Who could possibly resist the chance to have all of your charming attention?
So it seems that the cold will drive me indoors and I am already in the mood to hibernate just hearing about how cold it is in Calgary. I hate when horoscopes are right. It scares me. Though it does say that people can't resist spending time with me because of my charming attention which makes up for the other horrible things that it predicted for me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Apperently I'm too nice. So many people have said that to me lately. They say that I do too many things for people that I shouldn't and that I shouldn't let people get away with so much. I thought it would be ok if I became more anti-social, you know, let less people close to me. Before the problem was that there were too many people that I let hurt me, too many people that I was friends with that could use me. So I began to restrict my circle of friends and I thought that was the cure. In the end though it really doesn't matter. In the end I end up feeling used anyway.
This is why I don't let people close. This is why... oh I dunno... it just hurts.

So it's almost Christmas and well... no snow. Apperently we've only had snow 5 Christmases the last 49 years. Kinda sad I think. Though I'm happy we don't get minus a billion type weather here, we still should get some snow :P

So besides me having to down a bunch of cold meds today, nothing much else happend. I couldn't go to work, nor could I go watch all the Extended Editions of LotR with Simon and co. *sigh* oh well.
Good news though, July 16th, 2005 is the release of the next Harry Potter! Woo! So I will be pre-ordering that sometime soon. I want to see how much Chapters is going to be selling it for because I have my card and hopefully that means I can have it for cheaper. If not then I'm just going to buy it from Amazon.ca.
I need to find something creative to do over the break. I haven't found anything of interest yet, but I'm sure soon my bored mind will think of something. I might start writing again though I think it would be more fun to write a story back and forth with someone just for fun like me and Shannon used to do with our whole Trapped series. Lately I haven't been inspired enough to write anything more then a couple chapters of anything really. Bah!

My sore throat is still around. I'm feeling really weak and flemy. Not a nice combination. I watched Star Wars all day with Alex and then caught up on a bunch of webcomics I hadn't read since September. Not very interesting, but it was nice and relaxing.
Tomorrow if I don't feel better then I'm heading to the doctor's to see if anything is bad because I don't want to be horribly sick over the holidays. I managed to stay mostly healthy all through school with a minor sick time when someone got me sick. Usually that doesn't happen and I get sick multiple times a semester. Wooo to better health!
I'm moving along nicely with my movie watching. My whole list is getting cut slowly but surely. Simon is having an Extended Edition party on Tuesday which I will be attending, but late because I have to work. Other then that I have no social events because I'm sick, haven't called anyone here and also because I have so many movies to watch that I don't have time ;)

It feels nice to finally be home. I haven't been here for a while. I cleaned up everything and so it feels more like my room. Alex was sleeping in here because for a while we've had two exchange students at the same time and they needed his room. Mwa! Now he has to sleep on the couch lol. Anyways I had a massage yesterday! It was sooo nice. I want one again. Keren got it for me for Christmas last year and I finally used it. Afterwards me and Seannie watched Indy which was nice. Watching movies with him is always fun especially since we use his projector and its really big and he has a pretty good sound system lol.
Today I woke up all sick :( well my throat hurts. My dad gave me his cold. I had lunch with him on Thursday and Friday and both days he was sick. First thing I did when I woke up was yell at him. I'm such a nice daughter.
I guess the cold gives me an excuse to lay around, even though I was planning to do that anyways. I doubt I will be seeing many people while I'm in Abby since Keren is away and I dunno, I haven't actually talked to anyone thats around. Oh well. I'm heading to Calgary on the 30th so I get to spend New Years there. Leah, Corey and Kailin said they will take me to clubs there. I wonder how that will be. It's going to be cool having all SFU people around even when I'm not at SFU. This morning when I got up, Shilpa and Dustin were the first people to talk to me on msn. Odd to think that's really my life now. I mean I'm home now, but that's my other home. I'm not really living here anymore, just visiting, so I can't really call here home anymore. Odd...

Maybe now I will be able to spend time on msn and you know, talk to people. Socializing would be a nice thing to do. I haven't done that in a while. So first sleep. The seeing my dad because I haven't seen him since I gave him his Christmas present early and I miss him because he is my dad. Then I pack and see my mom, go to work Friday then relax and settle in to a couple weeks at home. That will be nice. Normal sleep and normal waking periods and just well.. being normal and doing nothing.

I'M DONE! I'M DONE! DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE!

My last exam is tomorrow. I have two chapters to learn and the rest of the book to review. I think it's safe to say that I'm screwed. We'll see how this goes.

One last exam. That's all I have. I need to study really hard for it because my other exams haven't gone that well and I want to kick ass in at least one.
Do you know what's nice? When people leave comments. Matt understands this concept because he well... actually just because he has an opinion about everything so he comments and that's always nice.

I'm so incredibly tired. That Bio exam was draining. I don't have the energy to do anything else, but sadly I have to finish up some stuff for work. I couldn't go to work yesterday because I was studying for Bio and so today I need to spend a couple hours closing up some expense accounts so I can send it out tonight. Who knew that I would get homework for work :P

Walking on eggshells
Me and Whitney were talking about this the other day. She doesn't hang out with a couple of girls here because they are overly dramatic and you have to watch what you say and do because they get really touchy otherwise. One is such a sweet girl, but always seems to be down and crying because her asshole boyfriend treats her like crap and she can't stop herself from seeing him because she loves him.
Nobody likes eggshells. They are horrible to walk on and even more horrible when you take a bit and you get one in your mouth. I'm hoping that my eggshells go away and people stop getting mad at everything I do and say. It's not nice having that nervous feeling always around when I say something because really all that that's going to do is make it so I stop talking. *sigh* exam in two hours. I'm scared. Why do they have exams on Saturdays? I don't understand that.

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I love ccr. My brother ripped all of my dad's cds and so I decided to take the music too. It's a perfect song for right now too because all that it's doing is raining.
I should really begin to study. That would be nice. I have to reread three labs for bio today and then three more tomorrow. I read one yesterday and was quite proud of myself because it was late and I could have wasted the rest of the night but I didn't. Saturday morning I will go over the 26 pages of notes that I printed out and hopefully I will be ready to write the exam that evening.
I'm behind in my study for Psych. I started a while back to write out the questions from each section, but I got through most of the first chapter for this exam and other things kept coming up. As long as I keep up with my Bio then it's not a total loss.
Sometimes people annoy me. Not everyone in general, I just don't enjoy talking to people who sit and insult others while I talk to them. I'm not talking about the justified insulting where some mean person stole your teddy and you so you call him names, I'm talking about the insulting that isn't provoked, where they really have no reason to say anything bad, but do anyways. What’s more is when they start stretching and going out to find things to complain about. Why do you go looking for more things to be mad over? That makes absolutely no sense to me. Do they really enjoy picking apart someone else that much? I mean really, I don't get it. Do they not realize that they are just saying horrible things so that they feel better about themselves? I have no idea what to say in reply either. I just have to sit and say, "yes", "uh huh", "ok".
*sigh* study time!

This is indeed a sad, sad day. The Mattness has left my blog. He has gone on to greener pastures and will sadly be missed around these parts. He added so much depth with his informative post and I have no idea how this blog with survive without him. He brought with him millions and millions of fans that would not have stayed were it not for him. I'm hoping that now the blog will still be able to grow in his absence and we can look forward to better days.
Farewell Matt, you will be forever remembered.

Next Friday I get to go home! woo! I'll be done for the semester. It's gone by so fast. Sometimes I wish it was done now that way I could actually sleep nicely, but I like having days off and being with people to study. Its odd because I'm so nervous for exams, but it's nice at the same time.
My first final is over and it went relatively ok. I had to write four essays on various book themes. It was a two hour exam so I got about thirty minutes for each. The first three went smoothly, but I took about five minutes longer on the third one because I had more quotes to write in and because of that I had less time for the last one. The problem was, I had already used up all my ideas and so I was deliberating for a couple minutes on which one to pick for my last one and I ended up using my final essay topic as the last one. The only problem is that I am no allowed to regurgitate things that were in my final paper so I had to find new things to say. I ended up writing a paragraph of old stuff and a couple pages on the new, but I'm not sure how supported the end was. *sigh* oh well. I'm hoping for a decent mark. At least a B- would be good that way I end up with about a B+ overall in the course. I got back my final essay and I got a B+. It was full of writing and comments on what was wrong. My TA looked at me and told me he gave me as much as he could lol. Oh well.
As long as I pass my Psych final I will have 66% in that class and I'm hoping for better then just a pass so that ends up to be pretty decent. Then with Spanish, I think I will have at least a B too. The only thing that can bring me down badly is my play, but I don't think it will be horrible. As for Bio, well if I pass the final I get about 57% in the course. I'm going to study as hard as I can for this one since this class is curved and who knows which way I might go.
I was thinking of doing more English classes because I usually end up getting the best in those classes. All I have to make sure to do is understand the concepts that the books are talking about and start my essays earlier then I usually do. My last essay I thought I did better on but that’s fine. I didn’t really like the topic so it didn’t flow horribly well.
We're on a 23 hour quiet hour thing here, but as usual there is noise. I think it is a bit better then normal, but some people I still would like to see gone so I wouldn't have to hear them at 3 in the morning coming home from wherever.

Yesterday was Vanessa's birthday so we surprised her with cake a couple of times. She was homesick and was crying before we came with cake one time. I think she had a pretty good day afterwards though. She got a bunch of cute things and everyone seemed to have fun. It was a nice break from studying and it was kind of our last chance for lots of people to get together and have fun before everyone leaves for the semester. Yesterday was also my last class. I survived my first semester of classes at University. Woo! All I need to do is get through finals and I should be ok. I know I'm not going to get the greatest marks this time around, but I tried more then normal so I'm semi happy about that. I made a bunch of new friends and hopefully next semester I can do that again. I have to stop being anti-social, I do that way too much.
I need to figure out where I will be living next year. I'm not going to be in the new buildings and I don't know if I can get into the townhouses because that would be nice. If not then I either have to wait for my dad to move closer or find my own place off the hill. I like being so close to school though, I don't have to drive and even though it is usually a ten minute walk, it isn't that bad.
Now it's time to listen to some lecture tapes!

Well I finished 3.5/8. Not even a pass. Story of my life *sigh*

Ok well.. enough of that then. I actually made some changes to my blog so that makes me happy. I added a links thing on the side bar and even made it pretty with arrows and all that. Sooner or later I will actually add more links then just the two, but we'll see when I get around to that.
On my list of things to do today:

1. Translate my spanish play
2. Memorize what I translate
3. Answer four psych questions
4. Read at least two novels from english and put in tabs and comments in each
5. Listen to the last psych and english lecture tapes
6. Go over at least one of the bio labs
7. Get cleaned up so I feel better
8. Move my car back in my parking spot so nobody else takes it (oh by the way last night someone stole my spot and so I had to park elsewhere. This morning I was getting my keys when I noticed that someone else was in my spot! GRrr! Now I shall move my car as quickly as possible so it doesn't get taken again)

I think that's a pretty long list for today and hopefully I finish most of those.
-natty

Bah! I'm not useless. I put in the new commenting stuff all on my own without your help Matt. GRR! Plus I already put in stuff that wasn't in the template, like my old guestbook and a counter. So :P

Helper Monkey

That's pretty much what I am, I was brought here to handle most of Lily's coding needs that she can't figure out for herself (It's true, she used to take the stuff off of my old site and use it on here). But once I'm actually an admin here then you MAY see some changes that aren't in the template, but it's taking forever...stupid blogger.

-Matt

Ok... so that was really posted at about 12:02 am dec 4. I lied *sigh* I'm such a horrible person *cries* I still have posted more this school year then the last 2 years combined. I find that a great improvement. I used to post long blogs that were full of semi-interesting stuff, but now it's pure crap. oh well.

Haha! I posted every day still! woo!

I'm so proud of myself, I've posted every day in december! Ok it's only been 2 days, so I'm a goof, but that's besides the point.
I finished my essay! I am so happy. I finished with two hours to spare and that hasn't happened in a long time. I spent so many days on it though because I had to switch topics and everything. I think it went well. I ended up doing sweat shops and relating a fictional book that had some production themes in it to a documentary about production. It wasn't hard and was mostly just about organisation and making sure I covered all the important themes, but I'm pretty pleased with it. Now I have my lab final and I'm hoping that that goes well, or at least ok. I have all of tomorrow morning to study so if I get a good sleep which I'm hoping that I will, then I should at least pass.
- natty

That's horrible. I posted four times yesterday. I've gotten only slightly further on my essay for English. I have my order decided. So basically all I need to do now is find quotes from the three sources, put them in the proper place and type a couple lines explaining each and I should be done! Now if only this was as easy as it should be. Finding the words to express all this is the hardest. *sigh*
My CS (computer science) guys are all so sweet. They are all different and that's what makes them fun to be around. Corey is the spunky, spiteful one, Tom is the baby eating one, Dustin is the optimistic, perky one and Gavin just seems to enjoy the comedy of it all. There is of course Brandon too, but he's very moody and usually doesn't talk and nobody can find him so he has either hung himself with a sock or sleeping with his CA. Somehow I doubt the latter of the two. They all seem to love coming to harass me when I'm trying to work. Which I don't mind horribly much except then well I can't do work. I hear them coming back for the 4th time today and rambling on about nothing. Wonder what they want this time.
