WISDOM CHECK

Life, the universe, and everything nerdy

  • Twisty roads + reading textbooks = bad news for Drea.

    My brain is not currently functioning properly 🙁 I’m about 2 1/2 pages through an 8 page paper. In my mind I have an idea of what to write, but it doesn’t want to write. Makes me quiet sad. Curse you noise pollution! (shakes fist menacingly).

    This morning I got up and slugged my way through part of my reading for this paper. Then my mom, grandma, and I went driving around the Okanagan up to Vernon. It’s really pretty through that stretch. I took more photos (on -my- camera this time, thank goodness). So when I get home I’ll upload them for ya (mountains, and orchards, and lakes, oh my!). It’s been a swelter of a day as well: 36*C! Very nice. I’m so glad it’s not humid here, like it was in Orlando. This is surivable, that was just brutal (yes yes, I know some of you live in place where 36*C seems cold). I did buy two packages of gourmet tea (one is cranberry, one is ginger). They came in nifty boxes, which was the main impulse for me to purchase them (shut up). I’ve opened the cranberry one, and it smells soooo good. I can’t wait to brew a pot and try it, though with the temperature as it is I may hold off…. even though I had tea at dinner. I’m strange, I know, and at this point I think I’m rambling…. Yay me.

    Tomorrow I believe we’re going to a Farmer’s Market. Should be fun. Supposidly there’s this lady there who sells wicked awesome perogies. So if we don’t buy any I will be dissapointed. Very. Dissapointed.

    Back to brain mushing assignment. Wish me luck, ljland. XD

    So my Mom and I made it to Kelowna safe and sound. I worked this morning from 6 – 2 (no lunch break) and came home. We left about 315 and made it here about 645. Good times. Note: Chilliwack Shell has awesome Slushies!! :9

    I always love driving the Coquihalla (well, I didn’t drive, my mom did XD ). The Coastals are so pretty, and how they slowly turn into the Rockies. My camera decided that it didn’t want to work (dead batteries, AGAIN! XP ). My mom did bring hers however, so I got lots of pics from the second half of the trip. Will post them once I either A) Get my laptop working on the internet; or B) Get home.

    I have a paper due on wednesday, that I have massive amounts of reading to do. Go me go. Luckily I got a bunch done during the drive, so here’s hoping 🙂 I get to fax it into the CODE too. Fax machines scare me. Run away!

    Okay. I am very sleepy. I didn’t sleep well during the past three nights, mixed with getting up at 5am = Sleep deprived girlie. VERY.

    Okay. Night night livejournalland. 🙂

    So I’ve been a little busy bee, running around and working and all that good stuff that seems to occupy the hours. Nothing overly exciting I must admit. I have, however, been working on several un-uni related projects recently, so perhaps I’ll give all you people in livejournalland a sneek peek sometime (provided I get off my butt and scan/type something). Most of it has been done off the computer. Why? I dunno, because I can.

    Oh, and I’m going to Kelowna next week. Hurray for change of scenery! 🙂

    Blech. I don’t wanna go to work tomorrow. Such a crummy shift. Dont get a morning, and get back fairly late so I can’t stay out for long, because I have to come home so I can work again on friday. This sucks 😛

    Wow, I haven’t worked a weekday in forever. I forgotten how sane work can actually be: no stress! It was aweomse! I was actually trying to find stuff to kill time, instead of panicking over the lack of time. Muah. Twas good.

    Two days off now, which will be nice. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous (sunny and hot!) so it will be nice 🙂

    Today was good. I worked hard and did a good spring cleaning of my room and my closet. I’m not quite finished, but I’m getting close. It’s amazing what you can find when you’re not looking for it! I found a bunch of my old Sailor Moon stuff, which brought back some memories. It was good. Got a hair cut. It’s a little shorter that I had intended, but I’ll see what I can do with styling it tomorrow. It’s hair. If I really hate it, it’ll grow back.

    Got together with Nicole and Amy. The other Andrea couldn’t make it due to prior engagements (softball I think?). We watched Casanova, which is an awesome move 🙂 Very good. We also had a good girl talk. It’s amazing that we all shared the same fears in highschool, but never admitted it to each other! It would have made highschool much more survivable if we had, to know we were all going through the same things!! But it was still good to find out these things. We were talking about how amazing it is that our group of friends still exists. We know so many people who have had their groups totally come apart. While we’ve had some rocky spots with people masquerading as friends and they’ve left, the true blue have stuck to it. It’s good to know that I have people to I can count on in the long run and when things get tough. You all rock!

    Back to work tomorrow… er…. later today?? XP Time to make some much needed money. I’m poor.

    Jeez, I have to remember not to listen to Sorcerer Radio sometimes. It makes me tear up. Seriously, some of the songs make me so nostalgic. Right now my eyes are watering up so bad. This is horrible! But obviously I love it for that reason. 🙂

    Every wish, every dream you ever had.
    Just close your eyes, they will all come rushing back.
    Fly away, all you need is to believe,
    And remember when.

    So today was interesting. My neck is killing me, for whatever reason 😛 Got up and mucked about online for a little while, then mom and I went out for a bit. Called Amy, because I knew she had her last exam today, turned out she was on her way over to school (as was I) to write it, so I gave her a ride. I went up to get my courseware and books. There was two I couldn’t get, so I have to try again next week 😛 Boo. Oh well, it looks like a great course. 🙂

    Ha, that’s it.

    (Originally published to my Livejournal, Creamsodaangel)

    Today I wrote my last exam! Totally happy now. Tomorrow I’m going back up on campus though, so I can get my books for summer classes, which in hindsight I should have purchased for when I was there today. Oh well. Plus I’m going to organize my room and wash my car, then hopefully work on some projects I have going and stuff. Wheeeee XD

    Is anybody else excited as me for ALIAS!!! FWEEEEEEE!
