Lost My Mind... Be Back in 5 Minutes...

its funny how it seems like today is just frozen. and no i'm not just referring to the sudden cold spell and the stinging wind... but today just goes on and on forever and i never really accomplished anything at all.

and maybe its because i'm moody or miserable. or maybe its just because i'm enjoying the quiet. i'm really not sure. but i'm ok with it.

its not fair that we've been back to school for 7 days of class and it feels like we've been going for over a month. and the deadlines for our design project suck.

but i've got to keep plugging along because i do. can't believe its my last year of university and my last semester... but so excited that it is!

Gotta have one of these annoying things every once in a while. and c'mon... the puppy is cute!!!!

i'm so getting a puppy ASAP!

You Are A: Puppy!

Beloved by all, puppies are energetic, playful, and loving. Your playful and friendly nature is part of what makes you a puppy. Known for their loyalty, puppies make great pets for young and old alike. And an innocent puppy face can melt anyone's heart!

You were almost a: Duckling or a Monkey
You are least like a: Turtle or a Pony What Cute Animal Are You?

so i was just notified that someone new to my msn list found my link to my blog page and started sifting through my archives since i haven't said anything new and exciting lately.
and it got me thinking that i would go back and read through some oldies.

i really love going back through them all. which motivated me to write a new blog today. so that if i go back through i have a new update for 2005 that is more recent than MAY. wow - i lose at that game for sure!

so to fill in the blanks and make a long story short:
summer job with london was awesome - mostly just because the people were so friendly - highlight story of the summer was this guy who decided to tell me about his CHOTA issues plus explain all the details about what a chota is even though i already knew.

i spent most weekends with the boyfriend and got up to my cottage lots more than i ever thought possible.

karen got a job in california at the end of the summer and i miss her but i'm glad she's liking what she's doing finally

school is school - i'm still bad at studying and doing things when i have the time to. fortunetly i have lots more time with my light schedule this year. 3 classes is the way to do university!

i'm designing a four land bridge for my design project and i love my design group. we've got a german exchange student in our group too and i'm glad she's as cool as the rest of us.

and i'm happy. and definitely ready to be done university and play grown-up.

and "real life" job searching which is scary as hell. waiting on union and enbridge to get back to me with offers and totally not sure which job i'd prefer.

i'm currently reading "People of the Raven" i was so excited to see that they came out with new books. i love them. and i'm so excited to be reading this one it is all i want to do!

music interests of late: damien rice (specifically Volcano) and James Blunt.
i should be a hippie.

well i worried for nothing. i got the job with the city of london - its turning out to be what i expected - a typical boring office job - but the people there are super nice and so i'm having a good time. and they try to keep me busy which is better than staring at walls.

i've moved into my new place - still feel like a guest in my own house - but i'm slowly getting used to things.

also discovered i am officially a geek based on an online quiz from a very reliable source. who would've guessed?! (second place loser... oh baby)

today was a weird day.
it started off with extreme nerves... then i called the city of chatham to see if i got the job there (and i didn't actually want it compared to the city of london one...) and i didn't get it...
so then i was happy and sort of excited...
but then i realized that i still didn't know if i had the london job or not and got nervous again...
everythings riding on london
because if i don't get it i don't know where i'll work for the summer - or what i'll be doing!
and then there was studying...
and too much eating...
and falling asleep in the sun on the porch reading about wood design...

tomorrow will be a better day. off i go to the gym.

sometimes i hate being a girl because:

shaving my legs is a pain... but even worse i have to worry about armpits, bikini lines, eyebrows

emotional walls that you just hit for no particular reason except that your body is producing to much of some hormone that makes you go mad

so today i'm counteracting half of this list... i'm not shaving. the other half i guess i'll just have to deal with and pretend "everythings ok" ... because in reality it is ok... but against my brick wall the world is falling apart before my eyes.
(at least i hope that reality is that everythings ok... its so hard to tell without windows)

la la laaaaaaa
in other news i'm kinda glad that i only have 3 well timed exams. makes things much better to deal with as things fall apart around me temporarily (temporarily i hope?)
