  • what a week…. =P

    (Originally posted to my Livejournal, Creamsodaangel)

    Blech. So yesterday I went to the dentist to get my front tooth fixed (the one which the filling fell out) and get a cavity filled. They froze both, and then worked on the front tooth first. Then the dentist asked if the back one had frozen yet, and I said no (because it wasn’t at all!). So they had to jab me again with a needle to freeze it again. And we waited. My tongue started going numb, but nothing else. So they had to do it a third time!! XP When I had my other cavity filled on the other side they only needed to do it once 😛


    So, lucky me, I got to go to class with a frozen face. Boo. Oh well. That was good and fine. The freezing eventually came out and all that. When I got home the side of my face with the caivity filling started aching. Whenever I tried having something hot or cold it hurt like hell. Seriously, it really REALLY hurt. My eyes would start watering up it was so painful. So my dad pumped me full of tylenol, since I was crying as I tried to eat dinner due to it hurting so much. Then I went up to my room and curled up in a blanket and watched a few episodes of ALIAS. After a few hours the pain went away and I drank some cranberry juice. Then I took another tylenol and went to bed.


    This morning I woke up, no ach, so I was happy. Then I tried drinkig water. Pain. It totally sucked. So my mom called the dentist and I went in at 1030. The dentist said it was normal, because it had to do with the nerve not liking the filling. So he shaved a litle off the filling. He said it would take a little bit, and then it wouldn’t hurt. But he tol dme to keep taking tylenol for a week. If after that it still hurt then i should go back. Boo.

    So that’s done. But to top it all off, I think I’m getting sick. There was a really bad bug going around work, so probably because I didn’t get much to eat yesterday my immunity went down and now I’m sick. BOO.

    It’s snowing up on Burnaby Mountain today. Buses aren’t running. Luckily I don’t have to go to Burnaby today, I’m at the downtown campus. But of course my dad has to call and tell me that there are power outtages downtown, so I have to look and see if that is affecting the campus. My parents also told me that if tomorrow the buses still aren’t running up the mountain, then I shouldn’t go. Because if the buses aren’t running, then I definately can’t drive, as I only have a little 4 cylinder car, and if buses aren’t running, then I obviously can’t take the bus.

    Yeesh. What a week. And it’s only wednesday 😛

    What’s next, am i going to get stuck on a skytrain on the way to school today?
    o_o Actually, I shouldn’t joke about that. Because with the power outtages, it may affect skytrain. **knocks on wood**.

  • it’s march and they’re mowing the lawn.

    Mmm. Nothing beats a 1.18L (40oz for my american friends) slushie. Mmm. This morning the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Sunny, warm (!!), and all that good stuff. Someone was mowing their lawn this morning before I left for school. I love saying that. Lawn mowing in February and March. Fwee. Just wore my brown sfu sweater this morning, because it was so nice. 20 mins to school again. I was freaked out. But alas, it was a nice drive. Amy and I chatted the entire time, just about this, that, and the other thing. The usua

    When I came home the wind was so strong and it was spitting. Blech. Apparently we now have the weather system that hit Hawai’i over the weekend. Yay. But yes, I was very scared on the way home because the wind was pushing my car across the lane on the way. Boo.


    Got a slushie and a big bag of Dutch Crunch Jalapeno Cheddar chips. Shhh. Don’t tell my mother that I brough contraband into the house. The chips, not the slushie. She doesn’t care about the slushie. But the craving for the chips hit me like a bat to the knee (so stole that saying from Ryan XD ). They’re just so yummies

    Tomorrow morning I get my tooth fixed! yaaay! Tomorrow morning I have to go to the dentist. Boooo. Oh well. No more embarrasing chipped tooth. 😛 However, it does mean that I will have to go to class with a frozen mouth. T_T

    And so this is how it goes. Oh, and I want more icons. 😛

    (Originally published to my Livejournal, Creamsodaangel)

    Okay, so I was looking at the Course Outlines for the Summer semester as I’m 3 credits short of completing my second year. So I decided to go and see what courses I needed for requirements and such. Now the plan was to do a Communications major with a Sociology Minor, I was looking at the websites and found that I do have the ability to do a join Communications / Sociology major. There are, however, less requirements to do a joint major. Is a joint major bad and a single major/minor better? Or what? And I was contemplating doing the publishing minor, since that really interests me.


    Does anyone have any suggestions or anything? I’m planning on seeing one of the advisors, but any help anyone could give me would be great as I’m so confused right now T_T

  • the beverly hills of campuses!!

    So what a day yesterday. I had to go up to the Segal School of Business (part of SFU Downtown) for this research session thingie. The email from the prof said it was across the street from Harbour Centre. Yeah, it’s not! I was glad that I looked at a map first though. It was only down a two blocks and over one, so not far at all. But oh my god is that ever a beautiful campus! It just opened in the fall, and is it ever gorgeous! LOL One of the guys in my class said it’s like the Beverly Hills of campuses. I felt kind of underdressed to be in the building. Everything was sooo nice. Boo.

    Then treated myself to some yummy Vietnamese food for a late lunch. It was very good. :9 I recommend it. It’s the place in the foodcourt in Harbour Centre. Yum.
    Unfortunately, one of my filling decided to fall out. It’s quite embarrasing!! XP It’s a front tooth too. When I was in grade 2 I was riding my bike and fell off, banged up my knees (which is why I stopped figured skating) and chipped one of my front teeth! XP The filling lasted 12 years, which is amazing. So I’m happy about that. When I noticed it had fallen out, I managed to catch the loose bit before I swallowed it, and then phoned my mom asking her to make a dentist appointement to get it fixed (because it is seriously embarrasing). I called like, 2 minutes too late! I called at 4:02, and the dentist closed at 4. Boo. so we called this morning and found that the dentist is on holidays. So I’m getting my filling done tuesday morning. Fun. I get to go to school with a frozen mouth 😛 Bah. Oh well, at least it will be done. They’re going to do my other one that I didn’t get filled last time too.
    Too bad I hate going to the dentist.
    Today driving to school was incredible! It was one of my 20 minute drives. I was shocked!! It’s not often I can make it there in 20 minutes. UBC or one of the other colleges must be out for spring break, or something like that. Because the highway was seriously empty!! Twas very nice.
    And of course, during my classes I tried not to smile too much or speak, because of my tooth. Boo. I can’t bite anything either. Ah well, such is life

    And here’s another plug for the sailor moon RPG, cruelmoonlight. We’ve started, but feel free to join in at anytime! 😀 It’s going well so far!! 😀

  • ah, the hypocrisy of it all

    (Originally posted tomy Livejournal, Creamsodaangel)

    Phew. I finished the paper for tomorrow in good time. It’s not even midnight yet. Aren’t I excited XD Unlike last night where I was up until 2 am trying to finish today’s paper XP. Ah well. It’s all good. My next assignment isn’t due for two weeks. Perhaps I’ll learn from these mistakes and start it early. Perhaps. But in the year and a half I’ve been in university, I haven’t yet started papers early. Bad Andrea, bad. Learn some good skills, don’t perpetuate your procrastination habits!!

    Oh well. Another day, another paper finished.

    But oh the hypocrisy I’ve written about in these past two papers. It’s mindboggling, it is. Unbelievably so.

  • working is boo.

    Okay bluuurg. I dun wanna go to work 😛 Of course, I never wanna go to work, so why I’m filling you in on this I’m not sure. It can just be assumed from now on. It’s mostly just that the 1130-8 shift gets to me. Rawr. I can’t do anything in the morning (I slept in this morning too 😛 ) and I can’t really do much in the evening. It’s true, I only work this once a week, which is okay. But in the summer when I’m working a lot more, the shift gets on my nerves. Boo. Oh well I suppose. Not much I can do about it but smile and do my “10 steps to acing a mystery shop” like the good little grunt that I am.

    I have an assignment due monday, and another due tuesday. So snow pirate will be delayed, yet again. Sucks how life gets in the way sometimes 😛 The plan this morning was to get up at 8 and work on the due-monday one, but unfortunately due to not being able to sleep well this week, I neded up sleeping in.

    Anyway, here’s something cute to quell the ‘not wanting to go to work’-ness.

    Har har. So I went out and bought one of the Team Canada toques from The Bay. Yes I’m a dork and apparently a slave to advertising, despite the face that I’m majoring in a departement that often speaks of the evils cause by conspicous consumption and advertising. For shame on me. Oh well. It’s not like I do that all the time. What, one Team Canada toque and some lots of Disney/Mickey Mouse stuff. Boo hoo.

    My toque is cute. Leave me alone. XD

    **hums the song from the commercials** riiiiiight before my eeeeeeyes. right before my eyes. right before my eyes.

    Go Team Canada 🙂

  • sailor moon and sleeping habits

    (Originally posted to my Livejournal, Creamsodaangel)

    Okay, here’s a question for all you fans of Sailor Moon out there in livejournal land. Would you be interested in joining a Sailor Moon RPG on lj? It won’t be one of those really tough ones where you have to come up with a super complex character and submit it for review and blah blah blah, and you won’t have to be panicked to post (I mean, if you’re away for a while, no worries there). Just an easygoing RPG. You don’t have to be a senshi, or a baddie at all either, you could just be some random Joe who wants to interact. I would just like to find a few people to join so we can get going. So if you even have a tiny bit of interest, just comment or whatnot here. :D:D:D

    On to other things…
    Exam today. Blech. I ought to be studying right now. Which is what I’ll go off to do once I’m finished writing this. I just wanted to get the above bit out, or it would keep driving me crazy. Because I really wanna rp. It was bothering me last night, but I needed to get some sleep and all that good stuff.
    Speaking of sleep, I haven’t been sleeping well at all this past week 🙁 I just can’t fall asleep at all. In turn then, I end up sleeping in until 10am. Boo. That’s really not good. I’m trying to go to bed earlier, but it’s not working. Ah well, we’ll see how it goes.

    Okay… off to study. Whoo. Lucky me.

    So my grandma is in town now. Yay 🙂 Haven’t seen her for a little while. Today we went out for lunch and then toured Downtown Langley. Very nice. Stopped in at Opus and bought a new sketchbook and a new fineliner (thank goodness!). Need to get back into updating things and such.
    Oh, and it’s our “reading break”. An entire two days. But out of 8 classes (4 courses) I only have 2 this week. Har. XD But that’s good.

    I’ve been searching for my camera cable. I wanna upload pictures for everyone, but can’t T_T boo. Ah well.
