Oh Canada!!

Oh Canada!!

Wow, so the year is more than half over... time flies eh.

Anyway, today was Canada and probably my favourite day of the year to date. I also completed several things on my summer to do list :)

Today, Sean and I took a road trip to South Hampton to spend Canada. Long friggen car ride with just two people, but my dearest Ke$ha got us through :). Haha while in South Hampton, I got to meet all his friends up there, eat some pretty amazing fries, go for walks, see a marina, go to the movies, watch the sunset, and finally watch the fireworks. It was pretty cool because from the beach in South Hampton, you could see the fireworks going off at Sauble Beach. Cool eh?

I'm gonna spare the world the boring intimate details of the day, haha I guess I'll put those in my journal, but let's just say the day was pretty amazing.

Things on the list accomplisted today:
3.   Go to the beach
4.   Go for a long walk on the beach
5.   Have an intimate date night
14.  Take a road trip
16.  Watch the sun set

Another Term Comes to an End

Another Term Comes to an End

First of all, here's a question for ya: who came up with daylight savings???
Yes, the concept is a good idea, with getting daylight at the proper times and all that jazz, but really, it screws up your sleep cycle.. LIKE MAD! Ever since day light savings a week ago, I have essentially missed a ton of classes because I can't get into the hang of the new time change...

Secondly, Mr. Al Gore... we need to have a talk about this "global warming" nonsense. If you say global warming, I'm expecting to you know... BE WARM!!! It is spring and it is freezing!! Global Warming as turned out to be the biggest lie of the century... no wonder somebody didn't win his presidential election... just sayin

Anyway, this is the 2nd last week of the school year. And I cannot be happier! It's also officially Spring... you know what that means? Summer's a comin'!

Since this is the end of the school year and the end of a "chapter" so to speak, I guess it's time for a progress report on my New Years goals:

1. Stick to this blog: so far, I think I've done a pretty good job with keeping up with the blog. Really we all knew I wouldn't update every sing day, but I've been trying to update atl east once a week. This song of the week has been the hardest to stick to. I listen to the same songs over and over so really, there's nothing to really update.
2. Take a picture a day: this, not gonna lie, has not worked out too well... I keep losing my camera and don't see things good enough to take pictures of. But someone who is dedicated to her photo blog is my friend Kylie: http://findthemissingpiece.blogspot.com/. She's been committed to taking daily pictures, and they're pretty good too.
3. Reading more books: this has been a bit more successful. I have started at least 3 books and haven't finished any. Today I started The Last Song and so far it's so good! This one I'm going to finish by next Friday. That's a promise.
4. Letting go: I think this is the concept I've grasped the most. Really, I'm a pro at letting go of stupid people, things, and situations these days... Not even going to get into it, because I'm so over it. WIN!
5. Be more positive and impact lives: this is been the most important goal of the year, and hopefully for the rest of my life. It's definitely been a process, but it is very successful and rewarding. This is going to be an on going goal. Best life goal I've ever made. :)

I guess this is all for now. Happy Spring-- hopefully it warms up and feels like spring soon :)

Finally Some Sleep

Finally Some Sleep

This past week has been B.A.N.A.N.A.S.! Between papers, midterms, drama, and other nonsense I have been absolutely exhausted, but after over 2 weeks I have FINALLY gotten a good night sleep. And not only was it a good night sleep but it was an amazing sleep :).

Anyways, I can't even update everything that's happened in the past week since I completely forget the last time I've updated this blog. Goals of the year are going well... then again it's only March so a lot can happen between now and next year. I think starting next year I'm going to have school-year goals as well... perhaps NOT putting everything to the last minute?? Haha really, who am I kidding, that is so not going to happen.

Tonight is also my first trip to a casino- a lot of firsts are happening lately :) I'll let ya'll know if I win big-- actually I won't. I don't want anyone harassing me for money, but if you see me NOT complaining about money, you'll know I won.

I have definitely failed on this song of the week/entertainment updates so we're going to catch up:
Yesterday was the anniversary of Notorious B.I.G.'s death, so in honor of Biggie Smalls, my song of the week is Juicy-- it's all good babay babay.
Another song I'm loving this week is Justin Bieber's Baby(featuring LUDACRIS)! Love J. Biebs.
P.S. cutest video ever!! Must watch!!

The hit movie to see right now is Alice in Wonderland. Not gonna lie to you guys, I didn't understand it AT ALL. But regardless it was pretty darn good.

There are 3 more weeks of school and a few more weeks till Summer... who's excited?? I AM!!! :D

I should probably get back to taking notes for this class since I haven't been for over 20 minutes...

1 Down, 11 to Go: Hello February

1 Down, 11 to Go: Hello February

Alright, so 2010 is old news. It's no longer January, and now's the time (if you have not already) to get into the swing of things.

With a new month comes a new goal. This month: SAVE MONEY!!! And the number one way to save money? STOP GOING TO WALMART!!! Seriously, I am there everyday and each time I spend atleast $30-- this has got to stop. I probably will still go to Walmart, but I've got to stop the spending.. we'll see how it goes.

As for the life updates, there are 22 days till my trip to Toronto! I am beyond stoked! Even if I don't get the job at MTV, I'm stoked for Forever XXI and GLITTER. -side note, whoever has good tips on how to wear glitter make up, let me know :)-

Lately I've been doing a super fun "game"- something I used to do in like grade.. 5? MAD LIBS! Who needs crosswords, word searches or sudoku when you've got Mad Libs. You can use the same story, switch up your adjectives and nouns and you've got a totally new story. And as an added bonus: you get to think back to the second grade when you learned what adverbs actually are Ha ha. They're great- EVERYONE, DO MADE LIBS! And send me the coolest/craziest ones you do. They are epic!

Song of the EPIC Week

Song of the EPIC Week

Alright peeps,
If you can recall, my MAIN goal for 2010 has been to be more positive. Well goal is in full effect! And this week has been major proof :)

This past week I have made new friends, and also made an influence in a few peoples lives. Now I won't bore you with the details right now (partially cuz I'm pretty stinking tired- and my stomach hurts haha), but it's really cool. And a few weeks ago I posted a blog on "letting go" well I've let go, moved on, and I'm stoked for what's to come in the future!!!

Anyway, some cool points to my EPIC week have been:

• Meeting and befriending some swell kids (Rob and Brody)
• The BEST hang out day ever (let's just say we hit up every fast food joint on one block in 4 hours)
• Got my G licence
• Finding out Taylor Swift has a "line" of greeting cards- they are beautiful and have the cutest messages (but really would you expect anything less of Taylor Swift? Didn't think so)

I've also decided to start a song of the week, since I know I can't handle a song of the day. And this week's song is "Blind" by Ke$ha. As everyone must know I love her, but this song totally goes along with my whole letting go and I feel it says most of what's on my mind right now.

As of yet, my plans for this upcoming week are going to be AWESOME and... It's pretty stinking close to February!! You know what that means?? Valentine's Day, Reading Week, MTV Audition, and maybe The Tyra Show (?!?!)!!
