hey, slow down.

thanks for loving me, 'cause you're doing it perfectly.

rethink pink.

Today was a really nice, relaxing day. Slept in really late, got up and made eggs for brunch for the daleykins and myself. Afterwards I worked on some homework, then showered and met my broski for coffee downstairs at the Starbucks. Finished up the really long psych reading after that, and then hit up the gym for a much needed workout. I went yesterday, but because of a side pain, I didn't do a lot of cardio. Dale and I had dinner a bit ago, and now he is playing video games while I blog and watch Drop Dead Diva (SO addicted!), and we are heading to Edge of Darkness for the 10:30 show!

I don't work tomorrow til 1:00, so I get another sleep in, plus some time to finish up my Art Lesson.

Enjoy your nights!

summer evening reminders

cozy and sleepy

TGIF! So happy it is the weekend. I am in need for a restful evening, and day tomorrow. I had my history presentation yesterday, and was so relieved once it was over! It actually wasn't as nerve-wracking as I thought it'd be, but I was still pretty nervous beforehand. I have definitely become much more comfortable with my cohort from the beginning of the year, so it makes things easier when everyone is there to support each other. I have just been catching up on homework since yesterday after the presentation (since I put it off during the prep). But, now for this weekend, I just have a bit of reading to do tomorrow...and nothing major..so I can relax! I assume I am working all day Sunday again, just not sure with who!

Next week, there is not a lot of school work due...but my creative dance group has got to get a solid lesson plan ready to peer teach next Friday. We have Tuesday's class to work on it, and then I think we're going to meet up on Wednesday or Thursday to finalize things. We picked the music today, and got some solid ideas going, so I think it'll be okay!

Other than that, not a lot is new besides school. I have been practically living at Dale's with exceptions to Saturday nights when we sleep at my condo because of work on Sunday. It's been good though to have school near (I walk to and fro everyday), and the gym. Plus, we get to hang out all the time!

Reading break is coming up in two weeks. I can't believe how fast this semester is going by. Already 4 weeks in...bah! Valentine's day and my birthday are over the break. Dale is going to be in Arizona, so I believe we'll be doing some early celebrating on the 10th or 11th. I am going to celebrate with my girls here in town the night before, and then on my birthday, head over to Vancouver to see my family! Other than that, there is some school work to do, and I am hoping to work a few shifts to make some extra money!

Happy Friday,

mistakes

Just looking over my assignment for celebrating mistakes. We are to do a still drawing (I chose this flower candle holder that I have), and every time we make a mistake, we have to draw a dot beside it. We are only supposed to do up to 5 mistakes, but I could have easily had 10. My flower does not look 3-D. I am mad. But oh well! It is what it is.

Spent a few hours up on campus today finishing up the powerpoint and prepping for the presentation tomorrow. I am nervous, and just want to get it over with! Today I am going to clean up around Dale's a bit, and do some readings for history next week. Tonight, Dale and I are going to a spin class at the gym. Wish us luckkk, I hope we can walk tomorrow!

so far.

thinking with the heeeeart.

timeless beauty.

It's been a tiring past two days. I have been up at the school from 8:30 til 4 each day, and am just worn out! But, my group has been preparing our presentation for Thursday which is worth 25% of our grade. So, tomorrow we are going to practice it for a few hours, and then I'll have that over with and something else to cross off my list by Thursday at 10:00! I am excited to have it done and over with.

Tonight, Daley and I are hitting up the gym, and then we've got to do some grocery shopping. Tonight I am going to work on my "mistakes" drawing for Art Ed. Biggest Loser is on tonight! Last night Chels and I watched the Bachelor. It was good...he got rid of 4 girls! I am rooting for Tenley.

Enjoy your evenings.

your love's a drug

Listening to the new Leighton Meester song (thanks, broski), and taking a break from homework! I was pretty productive today despite sleeping in late with John Daley. I got up, had some breaky (fibre one cereal is SO good), did my PE forum entry and blog, practiced recorder, hit up the gym, bought paint, came back to Dale's to eat lunch and do some art! And wow, it's six already! I don't know where the day went. We are headed out to Tasha's place tonight for some visiting, and I finally get to see her condo!

enjoy your saturday nights

i've got a "heart-on" for you.

focus on your breathing.

Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?

commando

Just finished watching "Commando" with John Daley. I had the day off today (from classes): I got up around 8:00 and hit up the gym, then went up to campus to work on a group presentation for next week (it has to be an hour and a half! wtf), then home for lunchies, and worked on some homework. Today I accomplished: art history, visual journal entry, art summary #3, worked on my music paper, started to read the PE chapter for this week...and I think that's it! I have tomorrow after 10:00 off, so that'll give me the afternoon to work on some more stuff (I want to finish the music paper, and the PE chapter! plus think of ideas for le presentation!). I am a bit stressed as of late, but taking it one day at a time, and I feel like I am really working hard...doing lots of homework everyday, staying focused, and hitting up the gym more regularly. It's been good for the endorphins!

Anyways, I am off to sleeps now, and up early for history tomorrow.

Sleep well, love bugs.

goodnight, moon.

even if you cannot hear my voice...

love revolution.

Monday night. I had a great weekend. Started off with Friday afternoon: tea with Chels to catch up. Then john daley come over around 6:00, we went to get appy's to bring to Chels' and had a tea at Starbucks before heading over. Met up with Tash, Chels, Jord, (me, daley), and met Tasha's friend Kayla and her bf! It was fun: we had lots of food, drinks, and (some) games. We wanted to go out, but waited til a bit too late, ended up downtown at 1:00...line-ups a bit long + cover charge...so we headed home! Daley and I slept in late on Saturday, had breaky, and headed downtown. We had to drop off his car at the tire shop, and then walked to MEC to get new water bottles! I wanted a headband for working out, too, so we went to lululemon and I picked out a basic black one (which on the tightest setting still is too big for my head, but it'll do!). Then we went to Opus because I needed my #12 paintbrush...but before heading in stopped at Urban Barn to look at a few things that I want to pick up next week after pay day! After downtown, we went back to Dale's for lunch and some homework time. I hit up the gym after watching the football game, and then it was time to get ready for dinns with Dale. We wanted to go to Pagliacci's, but it was a super long wait (as usual!), so we went to the Keg (another bit of a wait) instead. Had a big dinner with steak and caesar salad (yumm), and then watched The Hurt Locker at Dale's. I hadn't heard of it, but it was extremely well made, and I suggest you watch it! We went back to my house to sleep, because I had to work on Sunday. Usually Sunday's go by really slow...but it wasn't bad, and we (and I!) made budget for the day...so I was happy :)

The weekend went by too fast, and today was already backkk to school! It was a long day: History in the morning, and then Art for the afternoon. Art was really fun though because we got to paint/decoupage our clay sculptures we made last week! I ended up with a raindrop and a peace sign (both which got decoupaged lovely colours of blues and pinks) ... I am excited to see them next class all dry, and ready to hang on the wall!

Tomorrow: we have a visit to Braefoot to see the Kindy's in creative dance action! I am exciiited.

Hope you enjoyed your weekends!

moral compass.

I am having a good week thus far. It's been homework packed, but not as crazy as last week. I've been to the gym three times this week ... and after yesterday's class, I am so sore! I worked out tonight, and it felt good for my legs, but now I am stiff again. My mom was mentioning to drink OJ or have a bath with epson salts to relieve some of the soreness and muscle aches. I had some OJ last night, but it didn't really work out! Had yesterday off and crafted all day. Today: I had class til 10:00 a.m., and then did more art, and did my second art article reading/summary. Tomorrow: I have class til 2:00, then tea with Chels, and then tomorrow night going up to see Tasha's new place and have a visit!

Sleep tight, kittens.

(you and me)

Today has been a long day! Up at 7:00, class 8:30-10:00 ... reading psych chapter til 1:00, class til 4:00. History lecture wasn't as boring as last day, and art was really fun! We got to lay out our visual journals for display, and take a peak at everyone's. Afterwards we had a quick powerpoint on sculptures, and then started to work with clay! Oh, and we made a big mural up on the wall with all our 'eye' photos. So, for our clay project we had to sculpt objects that looked like eyes/had eye shapes/represented eyes. Basically anything to our interpretation! It was fun: I made a raindrop, sunshine, and peace sign. We are letting them dry til next week, then firing them, and then we get to paint next week I think! After class I chatted with Alli for a bit, and then hit up the gym with Daley. Now, I am home and trying to figure out ideas for my visual journal, as well as do some history reading before I have dinner and such.

Happy Mondays

sleepyhead.

So.tired.

Work was super slow, and super boring again today. I don't know how I made it through. I am now ready to shut my eyes and drift off to sleep, but I am having dinner at Dale's and we are going to watch a movie! It is nearly 8! But I didn't get home til 630, then had to pack up/clean/organize for tomorrow. My apartment is still a mess. Don't know when I am going to get that cleaned...Wednesday??

I really want to go somewhere for reading break. Somewhere hot!

"my wife's a chambermaid"

Off to work for the day, today. I got a lot accomplished yesterday for my day off: first art piece in the sketchbook, got pictures ready for this eye project, and read for history on Monday. I still need to finish cleaning up my apartment from when I came back from holidays - it still looks like the aftermath of a tornado - and I have to finish getting supplies/money for a couple classes.

Had a good night last night too! Dale and I went out to Pagliacci's for supps, and then to Sherlock Holmes. Dinner was delish, and the movie was really good, and actually quite funny (but Dale and I were the only ones laughing? haha).

Okay, well I best brush my teeths, and then I'm headed out.

Have a relaxing, lazy Sunday if you can!

hilary duff at her best.

I love this!

steal my kisses.

It's been crazy this week with back to school, work, and readjusting to Victoria (I still have completely unpacked!)...so here I am on Friday, finally getting in a blog post. I had to miss school Monday, and James and I took the Canada Line downtown to the Pacific Centre to do some shopping! I just got a few things from h&m and UO. It was a great way to kill time (and spend some Christmas money!) School has been good. I really really love 3 of my courses (P.E., music, and art - which I haven't been to a class yet...but it seems GREAT!), and two are iffy as of yet. I love P.E., but there is a heavy workload, and it is often confusing as to what is expected of us. But #1 class so far as got to be ed. psych...I am very happy with it so far!

This weekend I have tons of readings, and assignments to get done by tomorrow. I have to work all day Sunday...so that doesn't leave me much of a weekend (but I need the hours to get $$!). Tomorrow I am having a coffee date with Sierra, and then date night with Dale.

I've got to make some supper...and then I'm off to Carli's to see Alli and Amy for some wine time.

xx

last chance

In my two weeks home, I have aquired a whole other giant suitcase to bring back to Victoria. I am thinking I have too much stuff. This is going to be a dilemma at the airport tomorrow. bah!

Just watched Brothers & Sisters...it was new tonight. Thank goodness, all my shows are coming back with new episodes! I am also finally getting into Mercy...I'm just about a third through, and it's just starting to get juicyyyy.

Back to rearranging and packing. Wish me luck,

glitter on the floor.

Last afternoon! The weather is being super weird here, it's quite warm, and all the snow seems to be melting away, and dripping off the roof! It's that kind of mushy, wet, ugly snow! Anyways today: let myself sleep in nice and late, had poached eggs & hash browns for breakfast, worked out a bit, packed some more, picked up more pictures, and then just had some soup for lunch and am watching Real Housewives of Orange County. I am going to head downstairs now and do some journaling I think!

xx

wishing you and yours a happy new year

two for the road.

Two more nights at home. Sunday...tomorrow is the last night. I plan to have a lazy day: packing, organizing, and gettting ready to head back. I think I am going to do some journaling with my new pictures, and stickers that I got today! Very exciited. Today I had lunchies with 5 other girlies at Hot Shots, and throughly enjoyed catching up with everyone! This afternoon, did lots of errands (returned phone charger, and exchanged broken sunglasses, picked up journaling supplies, picked up pictures). This evening I redesigned my blog and twitter accounts, and then we had family friends over for another turkey dinner. Since my maj didn't get to cook the bird on the 25th, she wanted to do one tonight! So now we can have turkey buns for lunches! I am excited to shop on Monday!

Hope all your travels back are safe and sound.

loves,

xx

even if the sky is falling down.

Welcome, 2010. I think I like you so far. Home for two more days, home on Monday night. Ready for some routine and schedule and busyness.

Happy January 1st, 2010.
