So all of my exams are done and that feels great. If only the profs would hurry up with the grades, I would be a happy.

Yesterday, I got up around 10:30 am- did nothing until about noon. Then my mom and I went to Sam's in Kensington for lunch. Great food... it usually is there though. Then we browsed the books in the books stores, went to a used bookstore, where I bought Harry Potter 1 and 2 to complete my collection.

Then we went to the registry where I paid lots of money to get my license renewed and sent off to wherever they make the new licenses. Eventually, we made it to the Health food store, where my mom bought some seeds and some other things. Just before supper we headed off to the library where I picked up two books: "Eleven Minutes"- by Paulo Coelho and the highly recommended (by some) "The Double Helix"- by James D. Watson. I finished reading "Eleven Minutes" last night. It was very good... I want to read it again already. True to Paulo Coehlo's style there were many quotable passages with deep philosophical messages which I am not sure I absorbed the first time. The book really touched me. I related to the main character of the story quite a bit, and the story restored my hope in love and its existence and necessity.

I think next on my reading list will be "The Double Helix". I'm kind of excited as I have heard great things about the book. Well great as in James Watson is really high on himself and that makes the book really funny.

Anyhow... I want to go for a run. I feel gross right now, and I am hoping that will help. Until next time...

State: Totally relaxed

Book: Eleven Minutes-by Paulo Coelho (so I am already done reading it... big deal)

YAY!.... in 3 and half more hours I start my Genetics 275 exam which means I am 6 and half hours away from being done school!!!

I'm so excited... I think this is a record number of exam for me to have written in three days... and it might have cost me in Ecology... I walked out of that exam feeling very, powerless and like I almost certainly failed.

But I am over that now... and happy that it's all going to be over soon and that means that it is summer!

State: Happy... lalala
Song: La la la... something happy

So I haven't really taken the time to post lately, but since I have decided that my brain might explode I decided a long-ish break couldn't hurt. So I started by watching the overtime win of Ottawa over Toronto... which was nice, but has resulted in another game 7. One I won't be watching.

Then I searched the internet to find the genetics jokes I really liked from my first University genetics course. They aren't really funny though, if you don't know the background... anyhow they can be found here. This is one of my favourites: "My RNA, I'm sorry I misread your UAAUAAUAA and inserted three tyrosines when you repeatedly asked me to stop. Something got lost in the translation. Please forgive me."

But I think I am going to go back to reviewing stuff now, as I have been breaking for two hours. Not that I want to study anymore... but I feel like I might have found some vacancy. I can always hope...

State: No vacancy... well not really
Song: Moonlight Serenade- Klaus Badelt (Pirates of the Caribbean)

So I had a fairly uneventful birthday... as was to be expected. And I am sick of studying... and it is gross out. It always seems to snow around this time of year. hmmm....

Calgary won the game last night though, so that was cool. But Montreal lost... and that sucked because they should have won that game.

I have an exam tomorrow, and I have no idea if I am ready or not. I think I am, I mean it is mutiple guess- how hard can it really be? I think I have done a good job preparing... so yeah.

Anyhow I should get back to work...

Okay... Lindsay is turning me into a hockey fan. Calgary lost 2-1 to the Canucks. I think I need to get out of the house. Maybe I will.

Okay... so I had this big long post all ready and then safari quit and I lost everything. So I am going to write the abridged version...

Yesterday was my pseudo-birthday. All and all- a great day. Too bad now I have to study.

Anyone looking for a chick flick should check out: The Prince and Me! It was one of the best movies of this genre that I have seen in awhile. Probably because I could totally relate to the main character and how many movies nowdays depict the horridness of organic chem labs? Not very many.

Dinner at Julio's was great although I ate too much. My fishbowl margarita also was exellent. Pretty good deal considering its size... but not as good a deal of the fishbowl cocktails at the Cocktail club probably because those are triple the size of the one I had last night.

After dinner, we met Princess. We all went to timmy's and then Daley and Heather left. Princess, lindsay and I went to Scholar's a pub that boast a large collection of books. It used to be called the library... it was quite nice except for the drunken dude that tried to pick us up. Guys like that make me so uncomfortable. So I had a good time last night...
So I took this book quiz... I quite enjoyed this book quiz although I'm not sure I am really this book. I don't really care though because it is one of my favorite books of all time.

You're Ender's Game!

by Orson Scott Card

To you, most everything is a game. It's summertime, and the living's
easy. Even when there's a war on, it's just a game to you. But even though you've
historically been able to meet every challenge, there are some doubts about what lies
ahead. Are you sure you're up to the next test? Don't forget to pay attention to your
siblings.


Take the Book Quiz

That's all for now folks...

I'm having one of those rare moments of calm. Calm before the storm you might say. I had a wonderful pseudo-birthday with my mom today. She drove up to Edmonton to spend a day with me as my birthday present. It was really nice. Nice not to talk about school. Nice not to think about school for a WHOLE DAY! We went shopping at west ed. I don't usually like west ed, but this time I took a map at the begining, found all the stores I wanted to go to, circled them on the map did them in a sequence that made sense. Instead of my usual wandering that leaves me frustrated at the end of it all because I didn't get to go to a store I wanted to go to.

I bought a super sweet outfit for my interview tomorrow... a dress that I really need a hot date now to wear too. I finally have my very own little black dress. I was thinking of wearing it to the dress as your favourite era safewalk party... I could be the 1920's in my dress if only I have feather boa. I also got another pair of sweet ass flood pants... and TWO pairs of shoes. I love them both. I LOVE SANDAL SEASON! The one pair is from old navy and are so pretty and actually half decently confortable for flip flops... and the other are some cheap black sandals that go really well with the job interview outfit.

Oh and I got in for being an orientation leader! sigh... I think I am going to end this now. I was going to talk about something deep and philosophical but shopping and doing my nails has distracted me now so I think I will sign off of the night!

State: Pretty good...
