♪Hip to be square...♪
Hello all!!
Or maybe I'm hip to be a triangle? :P
I'm not sure if anyone actually checks this still, or if people gave up on me. But oh well - if there is anyone out there, this one's for you ;)
Life = busy. Fun, but busy. But really, it would be boring otherwise!
I guess the biggest news of this past week was the birth of my new niece, Emeline Jane, to my brother Jon & my sister-in-law Danya. Born in Singapore on January 13, 2007 at 12:34am, at a weight of about 8lb and a length of 21.5". The entire family is doing well :) And yes, I am Aunt Jill again :D
Other than that, busy week! As per usual, when it's me. EWB is going to be busy this term, but fun!
Thursday night was fun - went to Laurier's place for Grey's Anatomy, then we were chilling out & chatting. Some good, interesting conversation, as per usual when it comes to Laurier! I love friends that I can talk about almost anything with - there aren't a whole lot of them, but they rock!
Friday night, a bunch of us went to the Ranch in Guelph. Now, somehow, this is the THIRD weekend in a row that I've gone to a country bar. WTF is going on?? LOL. I actually don't mind country bars though - they're a bit less crowded, and not as creepy. And I'm getting more used to the music. I predrank pretty well, so didn't spend too much there. I wasn't drunk at all, but definitely pretty tipsy! HOwever, at like 12:45am, it suddenly hit me that I was exhausted, and almost fell asleep in the bar...oops.
Saturday I went for lunch with Ashlee :D Ashlee is my longest friend, since we were 3! And one that I only see once every couple of months, but definitely one of the people that I can tell everything to! And we haven't seen each other since August, so it was great to see her :D I introduced her to the wonderful world of Thai food - my Pad Thai was AWESOME!! I think she enjoyed it. Then we hung out at her place that afternoon & looked at pictures, since I took my laptop over b/c I knew she wanted to see pics of Calgary. I love that girl!
Saturday night, I went to a Cookie Party at Grace, Vicki & Kevin's house. It was fun...more fun than I expected. It was a nice, laid-back night with friends :) We ate cookies (and other desserts!) and played Cranium & Mafia, and some of us chatted when others left till close to 2am! Some people there that I haven't really seen since August, so it was great.
Yesterday was supposed to be a day of work, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I got up late, and when I went downstairs, Mom asked if I had time to go to a hockey game with Dad. A friend of his (and well, all the family) Fred had gotten tickets to the Kitchener Rangers-Ottawa 67s game, but couldn't go. (BTW, this is OHL hockey, which is Junior A - basically 17-21-year-olds, some of whom go on to play in the AHL & NHL) So Dad was offered the tickets, and I went with him. It was good times - just like old times. Dad used to be a teacher at Eastwood, which is a local high school where all the Rangers go to school when they're here, playing. So, Dad also used to get free tickets to most of the games, and back 10 years ago or so, he & I used to go to the games every Friday night. But we haven't gone in years, so it was nice to go (plus you just can't go wrong with watching hockey!!) They've changed parts of the arena around, and of course, I don't know the players anymore. But we were looking at the picture of the old teams, when I used to go all the time - some of them have made it to the NHL, and some make me wonder where they are now. But it was a great afternoon :)
Today was a SNOW DAY! Moreso b/c it was quite icy out. So I didn't leave the house all day. Did some work here though, which was good.
However, you'd expect me to be thrilled about a day off, right? Pretty well all my classmates are. However, I'm a little disappointed. First off, I have no classes on Mondays, so really, I don't miss class at all. Secondly, I was supposed to meet my friend/semi-classmate Moo to work on yearbook. I say semi-classmate b/c we are technically in different classes, but her class & my class have had about 85% of our classes together over our university years, so we're all basically one class. Anyway, Moo is doing the pages for her class, so we were going to work on our pages together, and also figure out the software together. We have deadlines for this, and are going to need more than just one day to do it, and today was the best day for me to start working on it :S
So instead, I stayed home & tried to do some work here - did some, but not much. Plus I didn't really get anything done yesterday. I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed (thank goodness for not doing FASS!) As well, my parents were looking through old pictures - some from when I was a kid in the mid-80s, some from when my brother & sister were kids in the mid to late 70s, some from when they were kids in the 40s & 50s, and some from when my Grandparents were younger, in the 1910s-1930s. It was pretty funny! Some of the hair, and the clothes, and the glasses - so funny!
Anyway, not much more to say. I need to go review the stuff that we did in the summer for our fourth year project, then likely read a bit & go to bed. I'm so tired lately, which sucks. I wish I wasn't, so that I had time to get everything done more. Haha. B/c my life is always busy, and I wish sleep wasn't so important :P Then again, I do have a kickass immune system, so at least I haven't gotten sick like everyone else yet! *knock on wood*
