The last few days have been really tough. As I mentioned in my last post, we have very few days left at camp. The kids leave the day after tomorrow, and I fly home in four days. I've been here for over three months and that completely baffles me. Pretty much every day, all I've been able to think about is how everything is ending and this is the last time we'll do this and this is the last time we'll do that. So pretty much everything is making me cry, just because I'm so upset about leaving. On top of that, I've got all this stuff going on in my personal life, that I was talking about a couple posts ago. My life is just a huge mess right now.
It's later now and I just reread the last sentence of that paragraph. Holy drama queen. My life is not a huge mess, by any means. I am, for the first time in a long time, completely, genuinely happy. I have met amazing people this summer who I will remember for the rest of my life, without a doubt. Yes, I am extremely sad that I have to leave this place, but my life in the real world is not that bad, it's just really different. The way I act at camp is very loud and outgoing and I never really stop, which is perfect, and the people at camp like me, for the most part. But in the real world, when I try to act like that, people don't like me. They don't understand me, and I never really fit in. So I tone myself down and try to make myself more normal, and people like me. Except it isn't me. It's not me at all. It's a pale imitation, a version of me. And, I mean, I do have some friends in the real world who know the real me and love me that way. But a lot of people see it as immature and attention seeking and just don't like me. And I really hate that. I really, really do.
So does it make more sense now, why I so desperately don't want to go home? I feel like I'm going to go into withdrawal for the first couple of weeks and after that, I have the potential to get really depressed. I so don't want that to happen, but camp, especially this camp with these people, has made me the happiest I have ever been in my whole life. I don't want to go back to being unhappy, even though I'm quite sure that that's what's going to happen. And I don't even have the option to see most of the people I worked with, because we're all from so far around the country. There's one other counsellor who lives in Newfoundland and that's it. This is going to suck, big time.
High: getting to go on the pontoon swim three times today.
Low: that today was the last real day of camp this summer.
Thankful: for getting to spend the best three months of my life with some truly amazing people.

don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened
Gah, why do people have to leave?! In exactly one week I will have been home for, like, twelve hours. I can't process this. I have decided that I will be here for another 4000 million zillion days. I don't know how many years that is, but I think I can safely assume that it's pretty much the rest of my life.
I'm not really sure why I don't want to leave. I mean, I get to be home for a week and see lots of friends and family, which will be great. And then I get to go back to Newfoundland, where I get to see lots of my friends again, for the first time in four months. I miss them all dearly, and I'm really excited to see them. I'm just not very excited about starting school again. I mean, I love learning, and...well, I really want to be done school. But my life at camp is just so much better than my life in the real world, for the most part. I don't really know how to explain it, I just know that I don't want to leave. For the next eight months, all I'm going to be doing is waiting and wishing for camp again. This is where I belong.
High: getting to go to the most gorgeous beach on a really amazing day for the last time this summer.
Low: realizing how little time we have left at camp, and that everything really is ending.
Thankful: that I got to have this experience and this amazing summer and that I got to share it with really amazing people who I will hopefully be friends with for a very long time.

highs and lows of long distance?
I have a question: what goes through boys' minds? I'm dead serious. How do they think? Why do they think the way they do? How do they make such huge decisions they way they do? I'm sure they could ask the same thing about girls, but I know how I think so I don't really care how other girls think.
Today was supposed to be such a good day. Sleeping in, swimming, tanning, going for a run, relaxing, reading magazines, hanging out with the other counsellors, that sort of thing. And that's exactly what the morning was. And then three of my best friends left for escort, to pick kids up tomorrow and bring them to camp. And then I checked my email and I had a message from one of my best guy friends, saying he needed to talk to me, so call him as soon as I can.
Him and I were best friends in high school, and it was never romantic. He dated two of my close girl friends and my ex-boyfriend was a good friend of his. I never thought of him that way at all. Then after high school, when I moved halfway across the country, we kind of lost touch. It happened with almost all my friends from high school. I was only home at Christmas, so how was I supposed to really stay close with them?! During my first semester of university, him and I tried so hard to stay in touch, but it didn't work out at all. We all had our new friends and we couldn't visit each other...you get the idea. Anyway, this past Christmas break, him and I ran into each other at the grocery store. We ended up going out for coffee and it was so great to talk to him again. After I went back out east for winter semester, we kept talking. And we talked, and talked, and talked. By mid-March, I was seriously falling for him. It was bad. Then he told me that he was falling for me too, but didn't want to have a long distance relationship, which I can sort of understand. Long distance isn't ideal, but sometimes it happens. But I was going to be home a month later for the whole summer! We could start there and then see what happens at the end of the summer! Sounded like a good plan...until I found out a week later that I was going to be working in Nova Scotia, which is nowhere near home, for three months. Close, but no cigar. Well, for him, anyway. I still wanted something to happen, especially because I was going to be home for a month before I left for camp. We hung out almost every day I was home, but we still weren't in a relationship because he was absolutely set against long distance. And being in a long distance relationship while at camp is really difficult, but it can work. The entire time I was here, most days I was getting texts from him, saying how much he missed me and stuff like that. WTF?! Then one day, about a month ago, he called me and told me that he missed me so much and that he thought he was falling in love with me. Are you serious? You can't tell me that you don't want to be with me because you don't want to do long distance and then spend the entire time we're apart saying how much you miss me and then telling me you're falling in love with me. That's not fair to either of us. After he told me that, I told him that he needed to figure out whether he wanted a relationship or not and to stop talking to me until he figured it out because it really wasn't fair to me.
Today he called me to talk. He told me that, even though he really likes me and thinks he's falling in love with me, he can't have a long distance relationship. He said this was one of the hardest decisions he's ever made and he doesn't want to hurt me, but he doesn't feel mature enough to be in a long distance relationship. I don't know how I feel about this. Obviously I'm hurt, especially because this is the first guy I've had real feelings for since me and my ex-boyfriend broke up two and a half years ago. Plus, I really liked him. We got along so well and would have been perfect for each other. I'm having a very difficult time accepting that we're never going to happen. I'm in denial. Story of my life.
High: watching movies with friends, but not really watching them and just talking lots and lots.
Low: if you don't know what my low is, you clearly didn't read my blog very carefully!
Thankful: that I have some really amazing people who I know will comfort me no matter what!

chocolate milk!
A few minutes ago, I had my first glass of chocolate milk since I was home May. It was so beyond excellent. I usually drink several glasses of chocolate milk every day, and I've gone over two and a half months without any! I'm not sure how I survived! lol
Today was a great day! I'm on break, so I got to sleep in, but I ended up waking up at 9 this morning to say goodbye to one of the counsellors who left early. I am so in denial about camp ending. Two counsellors have left in the past two days, and I refuse to believe that camp is really almost over. In thirteen days I'll be home, but I refuse to accept that. It's actually pathetic!
After Shiver left, I hung out for a bit, did some computer stuff, watched some TV, just hung out. Then a few of us went swimming, but the tide was really low, so it was super shallow! It was pretty fun though. Then we had a really delicious lunch (tuna sandwiches!) and did some more hanging out. Then a few of us went outside and played a game called BananaGrams, which is kind of like Scrabble but different. It's fun but I'm not very good at it. But it was still really fun. We just hung out outside, talking and having fun. After that, a bunch of people left for a town about 45 minutes away to go see a movie and the rest of us biked to the nearest town to get some food for supper, because camp food epically sucks. It took about 15 or 20 minutes to bike there. It was so much fun! There were five of us that went. When we got back we all went for a swim because we were all so sweaty and gross. The tide was really high this time, so we got a jump off the dock and stuff. Then we went and showered and then ate some of the food we had bought. It tasted so good after such an extensive night with no food. Now I'm watching Degrassi and doing this. After this I'm going to read and then go to bed. I'm super lame, I know!
High: spending the whole day relaxing and having fun with people I love.
Low: mosquitos! And realizing that, in 13 very short days, I'll be home and won't see some of these people ever again.
Thankful: that I have the time off to relax!

P.S. Since my last blog, I have been using livestrong.com religiously to track what I eat and how much exercise I do. I feel amazing! I have sooo much more energy, it's crazy! I'm very happy! I just hope all of this lasts past camp!

tough stuff
I need to talk about something. This won't be easy for me to talk about, and it probably won't have much consistency between paragraphs, or even between sentences, because I will just be saying things as they come into my head, not trying to make sense. Already I'm not making sense. But go with it!
Pretty much my whole life, I've always been the "chubby" girl. Both my parents have, or had, weight issues and it's something I come by naturally. I also have a ridiculous sweet tooth and it's nearly impossible for me to say no to chocolate or candy, which really doesn't help at all. As I got older and older, the weight kept adding up. I'm very muscular, so even if I was a healthy weight I'd still weigh more than someone my height is necessarily supposed to. But either way, the truth was, in high school, I was fat. And then I started university.
I've been a vegetarian since I was 13, and in high school, living with my mom, who is also a vegetarian, and a health freak, the food she was giving me was always healthy; I never had to worry. But once I got to university, and had to eat at the campus dining hall, and got to pick my own foods, things got a little out of hand. First of all, it was not vegetarian friendly at all. Sure, it was easy to just not eat the meat, but there was nothing to replace it with. Occasionally there was tofu, but it was usually pretty sketchy, and there was rarely any other kind of replacement. Plus, it was set up like an all-you-can-eat buffet, so I could literally just keep eating. This created a huge problem. In my first year, I gained a good 20 pounds to my already overweight body. Then I went home for the summer, ate my mom's food, did a lot of exercise and was as conscious as I could be about what I was eating. This helped, but not enough. Then September rolled around and I was back living in residence and back to eating at the dining hall. I was significantly more conscious of not only what I was eating but how much I was eating, but still. The food hadn't gotten any better, so there was only so much I could do. I would have to say I gained nearly 20 more pounds in my second year. It was beyond ridiculous.
It was around this time that I realized I seriously needed to make a change: this couldn't keep happening. I went home for a month and was very strict with my self about what I was eating (only my mom's food, as much as possible) and how much exercise I was getting (as much as possible). It helped a little bit, but there's only so much that can be done in a month. Then I left for camp, where I've been since the end of May. In the last month or so, I've completely decided that this needs to end now. So I've been watching how much I eat, what I'm eating, learning to recognize when my body is telling me I'm full and then stopping! I've also been doing more exercise, although at camp, pretty much all we do all day is walk, so I'm definitely not at a shortage of exercise.
Last week I saw my mom for the first time since I left at the end of May, and she told me that she thinks I've lost weight, and my mom is my toughest critic. I don't actually know if I've lost weight, because I don't weigh myself. But I do know that I have more energy, and my clothes feel looser. Almost none of my shorts/pants even fit me anymore, they're all too big! I think this is a good sign. I've also started doing a workout routine from a magazine, and some of the other counsellors and I have decided to do yoga together every morning while our campers are waking up and getting ready. And thanks to the success story of one of my favourtie bloggers, I have signed up for livestrong.com and will be using it to track my progress. And my friend is giving me her P90X videos, and I'm going to start doing them when school starts in September. Plus I'm living in a house off campus this year and will be making all my own meals, so I can eat what I want to eat and be healthy. I feel like this is a beginning of something amazing.
Maybe telling you all this before it's even really started is like jinxing it, I don't know. But I do know that I'm the type of person where the more people who know about my goals and what I'm trying to achieve, the more likely I am to stick with it, because if I don't, everyone will know that I failed. So please, in the comments, for the next few months, every once in a while, ask me how I'm doing and keep me in check. I will let you know when I've reached my goal, and maybe even give some before and after pictures.
High: witnessing the campers write the thank-you letters to the Tim Hortons store owners who sponsored them to be here: I had no idea kids could have so much genuine emotion and happiness in them.
Low: that camp food is really starting to suck, and that I actually ate three pieces of food for breakfast. I need real food!
Thankful: that I have amazing people in my life who I know will support me in everything I do.

really...really happy :)
I miss blogging. Although I love my job (almost) more than I love chocolate, I dislike the severe lack of time off I have each day in which to blog. So many of the blogs I follow are doing Blog Every Day August, and I am so genuinely happy right now that I would love to be able to talk about all of my days with the cyberworld. Boo. But I am going to try and write as often as I can this month. We're only a third of the way in. I've got time to catch up!
Unfortunately, I don't have much time tonight to really start my in-depth August blogging. But I would like to introduce something that I'm going to start doing at the end of each blog. Every night with the campers, we do a debrief, where we talk about the day and stuff. There are several different activities we do, but one of my favourites is High, Low, and Thankful. It's pretty self-explanatory: your favourite part of the day, your least favourite, and something you're thankful for.* So here goes:
High: that I finally got to spend an entire day being co-counsellors with Buzz, after waiting two months for the opportunity to work together.
Low: that I still feel kind of sick, and that it was way too windy and cold to have a lot of fun at the beach.
Thankful: that the worst thing in my life at the moment is a sore throat.

August (almost)?! Already?!
Hey friends. Sorry I've been MIA for a while. I have a pretty intense job where I don't get much time off, and the time I do get off, I use to sleep. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my job, but it's not a nine-to-five type of deal. It's a 24/7 for ten days type of deal.
So what's new in my world? Well, today is day five of session five. We only have two more sessions left. How is that possible?! It completely blows my mind how quickly the summer is going. I've been here for almost 70 days! It feels like I just got here a couple weeks ago! Part of me is kind of happy about how fast some things are going, but a bigger part of me so doesn't want the summer to end! I absolutely love the other people I work with and I seriously can't imagine leaving and not seeing some of them ever again! I don't want that to happen!!
So this session I have an english cabin again! I've been with french the last two sessions, and it was great, my french got so much better. But it's so much more convenient to have english kids. When I had a french cabin, when I wanted to say something, I had to figure it out and then translate it in my mind before I could say it. Now when I want to say something, I can just say it! Imagine that! haha

P.S. My co-counsellors so far this summer have been Shine, Whisper, Oups!, Gooby, and now Sage. I'm really happy the way things have worked out for me so far. Some people have been better to work with than others, but I have had a really great summer and I honestly can't complain! :)
P.P.S. I know a lot of people are doing Blog Every Day August, and I would love to do that as well, but with my job, I can rarely guarantee that I'll actually be able to get on a computer and have time to blog every day. I will try my best to blog as often as I can, but you understand why that isn't always possible.
So what's new in my world? Well, today is day five of session five. We only have two more sessions left. How is that possible?! It completely blows my mind how quickly the summer is going. I've been here for almost 70 days! It feels like I just got here a couple weeks ago!

frenchin' it up!
Hello cyber friends! I know it's been a while since I posted, but a) it's the summer, and b) I work basically 24 hours a day for ten days, with two days off between each 10-day session. Therefore, my writing time is not a whole lot. So I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far!
Happy belated Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians, and Happy July Fourth to all my southern neighbours! What are you guys doing/did you do to celebrate this holiday? Let me know! I finished work at noon on Tuesday, and drove down to Halifax with a bunch of friends for our break. We stayed until Friday morning, when we had to come back for work. It was actually so much fun! We stayed at a hostel, which wasn't really cheaper than a hotel, unfortunately, but it was fun because we were all together, and the hostel had a kitchen, so we got to make our own dinners instead of spending way too much money at a restaurant! It really was a lot of fun, though. And Thursday night, we all sat on Citadel Hill and watched the fireworks, which was good but not nearly long enough. Either way, it was a really great break!
So session three started on Friday! And I have a French cabin. Yay... Just kidding, I actually love it! I mean, I speak French, sort of, so it's not completely difficult. Plus my co-counsellor, Oups!, is pretty much the best co ever. She's French first language, which makes it a lot easier. And I straight up told the kids that I was English and some things I wouldn't understand, but that I would try, and I want to improve my French. They're all really nice and so patient with me, I love it! I have a feeling that this is going to be a really good session. Not as good as session one, because that was just ridiculously amazing, but I think this will be a close second!

Ohio!
Session one is done!!! I can't believe that one seventh of my summer is over. I've been at camp for four weeks! It does not feel like it's been that long at all! We had two weeks of training, then ten days of campers. Even though this camp is now a bilingual camp, the first session was kids from the States, so it was all English kids. They were some of the sweetest kids I've ever met! My group was the oldest girls, four of five of them were thirteen, and the fifth girl is turning thirteen in September. I absolutely loved them with all my heart! Saying goodbye to them was the hardest thing I've ever done. This is my fourth summer working at a residential camp and this is the first time I've ever cried saying bye to campers. I've been sad, but I've never cried. I am actually going to miss them so much. They've all promised me they were going to write me at camp this summer, and hopefully we'll stay in touch for a long time. A couple of the girls told me that my co, Shine*, and I were like their second moms. Does that not break your heart?! One of the sweetest things anyone has ever told me! I love my job!
So Thursday, I got to go to Columbus, Ohio to escort a bunch of the kids home and it was actually a lot of fun! It was my first time being in Ohio, and even though we didn't get to see much, it was still fun. We left camp at 6:45 Thursday morning, went to the Halifax airport, flew from Halifax to Toronto, nearly missed our flight, flew from Toronto to Columbus on the smallest plane in the world. Then we took a bus to get the kids back home, then went back to the hotel. We got there around seven at night, and I was way too tired to even do anything. Then we left the next morning at 10:30, flew from Columbus to Toronto, had a couple hours in the Toronto airport, where I spent way too much money (but I got paid yesterday, so whatever). Then we flew from Toronto to Halifax, and drove back to camp. I don't think I have ever been so tired in my life. It's not like we were doing anything extremely tiring. but traveling so much in such a short time does drain you. Four airplanes in two days?! Exhausting!!
So session two starts tomorrow! I'm pretty stoked, I think I've got a pretty good group of girls, and my co, Whisper*, seems pretty good. She's not much of a leader, from what I can tell, but I'm really a leader, so I feel like we'll balance each other out.

Camp Day!
I don't know how many people know this, but this summer I am working with the Tim Horton Children's Foundation as a camp counsellor at one of their camps. So today was the annual Camp Day, where sales from every single coffee sold at every single Tim Hortons in the world go towards the foundation, to help send kids to camp. Because we're working for the foundation, all the counsellors spent today going to various Tim Hortons stores and trying to encourage people to buy a coffee and/or make a donation. My group made it to four different stores over the course of the day. In the morning it was really cold, but then it warmed up nicely and ended up being really sunny. I actually had so much fun today! I got to stand on the side of the road, wave posters, scream, and try to get people to come to the store. I got really into it, I'm not going to lie. It was a really good day. :)

1600 km in two days...!
So the last four weeks have gone by way too quickly. I can't believe it's been four weeks since I was at school, packing up my dorm room, and moving out of Burke House. I can't believe I've been home for almost four weeks. And I really can't believe that I'm leaving again in three days.
Sunday morning, my dad and I are leaving to drive to Nova Scotia, where I will be working for the summer. We're estimating that the drive will take two days. We're hoping to get ot the other side of Quebec City on Sunday and then drive the rest of the way Monday. I'm planning on arriving at the camp Monday evening, although we don't need to be there until Tuesday morning at 11. So we have a bit of leeway, in case there's really bad traffic or something. But I really hope not. The less time I have to spend in the car with my father, the better. It's not that I don't like my dad, it's just...we have nothing in common. And we don't really get along. Growing up, I never really saw my dad much. He worked in downtown Toronto, so he always left before I even woke up in the morning, and when he got home at night, he would just watch the news or whatever was on TV. And on the weekends, he would always sleep in and nap all afternoon and watch TV. Growing up, I never spent any real time with him. And he and my mom split up when I was eleven, and he moved out. Part of me kind of wishes him and I had a better relationship, but part of me recognizes that I have an amazing relationship with my mom, and a lot of people don't have good relationships with either of their parents, so I'm pretty lucky.
Anyway, when my dad and I only spend a few hours together, and there's other people around, we're fine. But spending two whole days in a car, just the two of us, well...I feel like one of us is going to end up killing the other. This seems like the only solution to driving 1600 km together in two days. Sweet. My mom says I should just put on my iPod and sleep (or pretend to sleep) but I feel like that isn't going to work very well. I don't know. I am not at all looking forward to it, but it'll be over fast enough. As long as we're both alive at the end, then I don't think either of us has the right to complain!

Runawayyyy!
Today was a pretty good day. I got to spend part of the afternoon with one of my best friends from high school, Jacquie. We haven't seen much of each other in the last two years, just because I've been so far away for such a long time. So I actually haven't seen her since last August, I think. Considering we saw each other every single day in high school, this is a big deal. But it was fun. We just went to the mall and walked around, window shopped, that sort of thing. There was a surprising number of people at the mall, considering it was the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday in May. I mean, don't people work anymore?! Seriously! I figured that there would be hardly anyone there, just because of the time of day. Oh, but I was wrong. It was weird.
While we were at the mall, I picked up the book Runaway by Meg Cabot. It is the third book in the Airhead series. It just came out yesterday and I am so excited to read this book! I loved Airhead and Being Nikki and I know this book is going to be amazing. But I'm not going to read it until I leave for camp, just because I have no idea what I'm going to read this summer! All my good books are still in Newfoundland, and when I'm home, I get most of my books from the library, but I obviously can't do that while I'm away. So I'm searching my room to find books that I own that I can take with me this summer. Kind of ruins my plans to not reread any books I had already read for the rest of this year, but whatever. I really have no other choice.

Mother's Day
I say this without one smidge of embarrassment: My mom is my best friend. Her and I have been there for each other through everything. After I was born, she quit her job and made her own business so she could work from home and always be there for me, and she has really lived up to this. She was there for me for every single thing that has happened in my life. She has always been amazingly supposrtive of everything I've done. When I wanted to move halfway across the country for university, she never once tried to sway me towards a school closer to home; she wanted me to be happy, even if that meant only getting to see me three times a year. I know that she would do anything for me, and I would do the same for her, without a doubt. So today, and every day, Kerry Colleen Delaney, I love you! :)

BEDM? ...yea right
I am the worst Blog Every Day in April blogger ever. I genuinely tried to make it to the computer yesterday to blog something-anything!-for the last day of April. But apparently, I was very busy yesterday. I didn't even do that much, but I did not make it on the computer at all. I'm very sorry. I wish I could tell you that I've been doing really cool stuff this last week, and that's why I haven't been blogging every day, like I promised I would. I really wish I could. But, alas, I cannot. This week has consisted of the kinds of things you do after being away for nearly four months: unpacking, pretending to unpack, dentist appointments, shopping, chiropractic appointments, babysitting the cutest kids in the entire world, sleeping a lot, hanging out with the cutest dog in the world. I've barely even seen some of my friends! And I have been home for almost six days! There is something seriously wrong with this picture. But I also leave again in three weeks for camp, and I won't be back until the end of August, so I have very little time do get lots of things done.
There is literally nothing else to talk about. My dad decided to show us his extremelty jerk-y side again this week, but what else is new?! Also, boys are idiots. I feel like this needs to be emphasized rather strongly. Anyone else agree?

Shoooorts
Fail. It is exponentially harder to blog every day when I'm home. I was only on my computer once yesterday, in the morning, and only very briefly. Fortunately April is almost over, so then I won't have to feel guilty for missing a day or two. Also, I'm fairly certain that, now that exams are over and people no longer need a reason to procrastinate, no one reads this. Whatever.
So yesterday morning, my mom and I went and got our new passport pictures taken (I hate passport pictures-you aren't allowed to smile! My picture looks nothing like me!) and went and submitted my application for my new passport. I wish I could say I was going somewhere exciting this summer, that requires a passport, but really...I might have to go to the States for a couple days. That's it. Then I drove my mom to pick up her car, which was having some work done on it. Then we went to Old Navy and I got four new pairs of shorts for the summer. We also stopped at Chapters and I bought Being Nikki, the sequel to Airhead, by Meg Cabot. The sequel to Being Nikki, Runaway comes out in a couple weeks, and I'm going to get that one too.
After we were done shopping, we went out for lunch at this place called Teriyaki House. It's all-you-can-eat sushi for, like, twelve bucks. Let's just say, we almost definitely ate our money's worth. It was delicious, though. I've been dreaming about it since last August, which was the last time I was there.

Travels
Yea, sue me. I missed a day. I think I have a pretty reasonable excuse, as I was travelling all day. Yesterday morning I was in Newfoundland. Now I'm home, in Ontario, and very happy! Yea, that's really all I have to say. I am home, and happy! I also have a lot of stuff to do in the next month, and I don't know how that's going to happen! Oh well, I'll figure something out...hopefully!
So today is one of my best friend's birthday, and I'm so sad I can't spend time with her today. I haven't seen her in months, because I've been away at university, but I want to see her very badly! This is what happens when you move far away for school lol.

Online check-in
Today was a nice day. We got to sleep in, which for my mom means eight o'clock. Woo. We got ready, had some breakfast, and chatted with some of the other people staying at the B&B. It was nice. There's a whole big family of them, and they're having a birthday party tonight for the mother, which we were planning on crashing, but are now invited to. Should be...fun.
After breakfast, we walked downtown to do some shopping. It was actually a lot of fun. We didn't buy a whole lot, but we got some nice stuff. It started to rain a little bit towards the end, but that didn't really matter. It meant less people were out and about, so the stores weren't as busy. Then we had a really good lunch, which was supposed to be my treat, but the debit machines decided not to work, and fortunately we had enough cash. At least I tried to treat...
We're back now, and just did the online check-in for our flight tomorrow. I can't believe I'm actually going home tomorrow. This semester went by so quickly, but I'm so excited to go home. Only for a month, but it's better than nothing!

Today was such a fun day! I spent it with one of my very best friends from university. Us, and our moms, spent the day in her hometown. It's just a small commuunity about a half hour outside of the city, but somehow, during a year and a half of friendship, I've never made it out there. But today we did, and it was gorgeous! We wanted to see a moose (we didn't), an iceberg (there aren't any-no ice!) and a whale (it's too early in the season, but we think we saw one! It was off the the distance, so we're not sure...but there's no one to tell us it wasn't a whale, so we're saying it was!). All in all, it was a really good day, and we had a lot of fun.
Last night, we went downtown, and actually spent some time with the parents of the lead singer of Stereos!! When they were in town earlier in the week for the Junos and for the concert, the lead singer, Pat, stayed at the same bed and breakfast that we're staying at! He was gone by the time we checked in, but his parents are still here, so we went out with them last night. His mother even took my mailing address and said she's going to get Pat to sign something and send it to me! How exciting is that?! It was a pretty good night, all in all.

My mom's here!! Her flight landed nearly five and a half hours ago. It is so nice to see her! Three and a half months really is a long time. We did some packing this afternoon, and now she's gone back to the hotal and I am spending the night with my friends, as our last night is res forever. It never really hit me until today that this really is my last night is res. I've lived here for two years, and I love it! It's going to be weird living in a house next year, although I am really excited about it. I know I definitely made the right decision.
So the concert last night was ridiculous. There aren't even words. I mean, I knew it was going to be good, but it was so much better than anything I could have expected. I'm still kind of in shock of how good it was. I mean, Hedley has been my favourite band for a good three or four years now, and getting to see them perform live has always been one of my dreams, and they did not disappoint. Maybe, in the next couple of days, if I'm able to sort out my thoughts a little bit better as to how I really felt about it, I'll let you know. But for now...completely amazing.

DONE!!! :)
DONE!!!!!!!!!! I finished my last exam about an hour ago and I am now done my second year of university!! Oh my goodness, I am so happy exams are finally over!! And tonight will probably be the best night of my life. I am going to a concert here in town, with Fefe Dobson, Stereos, Faber Drive, and Hedley!! I got tickets for my birthday, in January, from my mom and I have been waiting for this night for the last three months. I'm not a big Fefe Dobson fan, and I saw Faber Drive on New Year's, but Hedley is basically my favourite band in the entire world. Ahh I'm so excited!!!!! I will try my best to take pictures, but I'm pretty sure there isn't any photography or video allowed. But I will try my best!
There is kind of a downside to today, though. As I mentioned before, my mom is coming out here tomorrow, and I am so freaking excited to see her! But, the volcanic ash cloud from the explosion in Iceland last week that was over the UK and Scandinavia, and parts of Europe and heading towards Russia. Well, I guess it changed directions or something, because yesterday it was over the east coast near us, and yesterday morning all flights were grounded. I checked both the St. John's and Toronto airport websites this morning, and it doesn't look like there's any problems, but I'm worried my mom won't be able to get here, or she'll get stuck in Halifax or something. I just want to see my mom! lol So I'm a little worried about that, especially because I'm not flying home until Sunday, and I don't really want to spend four days here by myself when it's supposed to be our vacation. So hopefully she'll be able to get here tomorrow!

*For those of you following my mission to read fifty books this year, yesterday I finished Forever in Blue, the fourth and final book in Ann Brashares Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series. I have now started reading Crow Lake by Mary Lawson. I highly recommend this book to everyone in the world. I had to read it for English class in grade 12, and it quickly became one of my favourite books. Here's what it says on the back of the book: "Here is a gorgeous, slow-burning story of family love and misunderstandings, of resentments harboured and driven underground. Set in the rough-hewn heart of the Canadian Shield, Crow Lake brings us into the fold of the Morrisons, a family bound close by unexpected lose. Young Kate Morrison worships her elder brother Matt, whose passionate interest in the natural world inspires Kate to become a biologist. But as an adult she feels estranged from her siblings--Matt, Luke and Bo--who once composed her entire world, and she can't reconcile the heroic brother of her youth with the all-too-human man he has become." I can't even describe to you how much I love this book. Seriously, go read it!

Blondes
Two blonde advisers were going to Disneyland . They were driving on the Interstate when they saw the sign that said Disneyland LEFT. They started crying and turned around and went home.
Two blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking, and one blonde says to the other, "Which do you think is farther away... Florida or the moon?" The other blonde turns and says "Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida ?????"
A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly. She says, "What's the story?" He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor" She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"
A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her very nicely if he could see her license. She replied in a huff, "I wish you guys would get your act together. Just yesterday you take away my license and then today you expect me to show it to you!"
There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde on the opposite bank "Yoo-hoo!" she shouts, "How can I get to the other side?" The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and shouts back, "You ARE on the other side."
A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it. "Impossible!" says the doctor.. "Show me." The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed her knee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream.The doctor said, "You're not really a redhead, are you?" "Well, no" she said, "I'm actually a blonde." "I thought so," the doctor said, "Your finger is broken."
A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway. Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting! Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights and siren, the trooper cranked down his window, turned on his bullhorn and yelled, "PULL OVER!" "NO!" the blonde yelled back, "IT'S A SCARF!"
A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said, "We were the first in space!" The American said, "We were the first on the moon!" The Blonde said, "So what? We're going to be the first on the sun!" The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads. "You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn up!" said the Russian. To which the Blonde replied, "We're not stupid, you know. We're going at night!"
A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night... It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed on Science and Nature. Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?" She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"
A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were. The blonde responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex. Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?" "HELLLOOOOOOO......," answered the blonde. "They're watch dogs!"

FACE! (I am GOD...)
I'm a terrible person. That might be an exagerration; we'll see. Over a year ago, I got a Twitter. At that time, most people had a Twitter, no big deal. I had it until probably late October/early November of this past year. Then I pulled a Miley Cyrus and deleted my account. I'm not sure why; I think I just stopped seeing the point of having one. So I deleted it, and frankly I didn't really miss it. Then, last night, I went and remade my account. I have no idea why. No idea. But I did. So now I'm back on Twitter. Follow me at twitter.com/seanababy16. Do it!!!
So a couple days ago, I mentioned the new collaboration channel, 5AwesomeCollegeGirls, that I am involved with. I said that it was going to start probably this week, because that's what I was told by Kourtney, the girl that I talked to. But, I haven't even talked to the other three girls, let alone have we all talked and started to figure out what we want to do and where we want to go with this. So I don't think we should start tomorrow. We might still, but I don't think it's the best idea. I think we should wait at least a week or two, and use that time for the five of us to talk and figure everything out. So if you're super excited for tomorrow to see the start of 5ACG, don't hold your breath.
Talked to Kourtney. She agrees, we need to work some stuff out before we start. So no collab channel tomorrow. :( Which is actually a good thing, because I still don't have a webcam and my digital camera still doesn't record noise. Good times.
So I found this video on youtube last night. I think I'm in love. Some of the shows I didn't watch, but a lot of them I did, and it made me really miss my childhood. Television and movies were just better in the 90s. Also, I don't know if you guys know anything about soul ages (the permanent age of your soul...sounds sketchy, I know) but I'm pretty mine is, like, 7. Not that I'm immature or just don't want to grow up or anything. My childhood was just a really good time, plus I love being around kids, and I tend to act kind of like a kid (again, not in an immature way) a lot of the time. Anyway, my soul age is seven or eight and I miss the 90s.
So funny story. As I mentioned yesterday, last night I went to a friends house for a while. It was a mid-exams/stress reliever/wanting to see everyone before they leave for the summer type of thing. So at one point, a bunch of people were playing Cranium, and I was doing the game show host role, reading all the challenges and questions and whatever. Someone challeneged me about something, and I said, "I am to this game as God is to the world!" In a room full of Christians. It was actually hilarious. I am the god of Cranium, OK? Deal with it!
So I just got off the phone with my mom, and at the end I realized that the next time I talk to her, it's going to be face-to-face!! She gets here on Wednesday, and I could not be more excited!! I haven't seen her in three and a half months, and it's killing me!!! We are way too close to go this long without seeing each other! But we're also staying here together for a couple days before we fly home and I am equally excited about that. We're going to look at my new house for next year, doing lots of eating and shopping, climbing up Signal Hill (her idea...definitely not mine) and spending a day with one of my best friends Melissa in her hometown. I am just so excited for the next week. Plus, a week right now, I will be home with my mom and my dog and my car and my friends and lots and lots of other really great things. I am so freaking excited to go home!!! Don't get me wrong, I love it here, I love this city and this province and this school! And being away from home for long periods of time doesn't bother me that much. But really, there's nothing better than going home.

Jennifer Coolidge
I am posting early because I'm going out tonight and I don't know what time I'll be back. And tonight, I'm not going to be antisocial! I'm not, I'm not, I'm not!!!!!!
So not much happened today. I was woken up from some much-needed sleep by some of the rudest people ever who didn't even try to whisper. Really? You're an adult, you can't get away with being rude, and then not even apologizing for clearly waking me up. Sometimes I just don't understand people. Oh well. Only four more days of having a roommate in such close proximity! Woot!
I really should have spent a large portion of today studying, as I have an exam on Monday and an exam on Tuesday. However, I felt that I should take some time off. So I watched a movie. Which movie? A Cinderella Story. With Hilary Duff. Don't judge me, it's a cute movie! Plus Jennifer Coolidge is in it, and she is just hilarious.

negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus four a c divided by two b.
So I know I linked you guys to this video a couple days ago, but...oh my goodness. I've probably watched it close to fifty times in the last three or four days, and each time it still has the same effect on me. First of all, I love Jully Black. I've always liked her, but now I love her. And when Drake does his little rap thing, and then Nikki Yanofsky sings; I don't know why, but that part gives me chills every single time I see it. Also, did anyone else notices that Justin Bieber looks kind of awkward when he's singing? Like he's holding his body weirdly because he's so aware of the camera. I don't know if I'm just seeing it because I don't really like him, or something, but he looks weird.
It is now later. I just finished watching the first Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants movie (because, you know, I'm in the middle of reading the books, so why not watch the movies at the same time?! That's just who I am.) and holy smoly, I never realized what a sad movie it is! I've seen it so many times, but I don't remember ever crying this much! They were definitely worth it, though.
I also just watched the second movie. I don't know if it's because I'm in the middle of the fourth book, and that's the one most of the movie is based on, but I noticed a lot of the movie is word-for-word from the book. Weird. But not bad. Just weird. Most movies, that I've seen, at least, that are based on books follow the plot, but they rarely use actually dialogue from the books. I enjoyed it though.
So today was pretty uneventful. French exam this morning. Pretty sure I aced it, but I was never really worried about it. I've been speaking French since preschool. Math...not so much. Like I said before, it'll be a miracle if I pass that course, especially considering the exam is worth 60% of our mark and I don't think I even attempted to answer enough questions to pass, let alone getting the questions I tried right. But we'll see. Like I said a couple days ago, whatever happens, happens, and it's really not the end of the world. Also, throughout the entire exam, I had this song stuck in my head. Not the best when trying to concentrate on questions you don't know how to do.

Collaboration!!!
So I just found out about half an hour ago that I am going to be part of a youtube collaboration channel called 5AwesomeCollegeGirls. It's like a spin-off of 5AwesomeGirls, 5AwesomeGuys, and all of that. I am actually ridiculously excited about this! Since I started watching 5AwesomeGirls last week, I really really wanted to do a collaberation channel like what they do, but I had no idea how to get something like that started. Then I found out about 5ACG and they said they were looking for a couple other girls, and so I messaged them, and now here we are. I know very little about how this is all going to work, but I'm still really excited about it! I'll let you all know when we get it up and running and I hope you'll all subscribe and watch it, because I think it could be really good!
It is now much later. I talked to a couple of the other girls involved with 5ACG and it looks like we're going to be getting it up and going either next week or the week after. From what I can tell, the other girls all seem really nice, so hopefully this'll work out. And really, what do I have to lose? I was going to start posting youtube videos anyway, and I still will on my personal channel. It's not like it's costing me anything and it's not like I'm going to be giving out tons of personal information. I'm just collaborating with some other girls. I'm pumped! Goodness knows when I'll ever get to meet any of the other girls, as they all live in the States. Oh well.
So I just got back from a pseudo girls night with my very good friend Sam and my roommate Katie. We just went to the mall and spent money that none of us really had. I really should have spent the entire time studying, but whatever, I needed a break. Plus there's a point at which studying becomes counter-productive and I think I am nearly at that point. Plus it was a really nice break just from all the stress of everything. There's way too much going on in my life right now for me to even begin to deal with, and tonight, even for just a few hours, I was able to forget about most of it and that felt really great. Seana is happy :)

This is what I do instead of studying. Are you proud of me? Haha For anyone who doesn't know, this is a kid's song, and it's pretty much the best song ever. Did anyone else notice how completely incompetent Henry is?! Really? He doesn't know how to cut straw, or how to fetch water? haha I always found this song quite amusing as a child and now, thanks to my procrastination, you can all experience it again as well! (You're welcome)
I'm listening to the radio and some lady just tried to say Michael Buble, but she pronounced his last name wrong. She said Bublee-ay, and now I can't stop laughing.* It's not even that funny, but my mind seems to find it hilarious. It's a good thing my roommate isn't here; she might think I've gone insane for laughing this much about something that really isn't quite that funny.
So I was just watching this video, and even though I hear the song on the radio all the time, and I have it on my iPod, this was my first time seeing the video, and it really gave me the chills. I don't know why. Talk about something really powerful!
It is now much later. I should be studying for my French exam, which is Friday morning. Unfortunately, within the last hour to hour and a half, my mentality towards exams has completely changed: I no longer care about exams at all. I know this is wrong on so many levels. I think the problem is that I was studying all day for my math exam, which is Friday afternoon, and I have realized that it will be a freaking miracle if I pass that class. I have been trying so hard in this class all semester and it just has not been working out. It's a calculus class, and the majority of the material is integrals, and they just don't make sense to me, at all. This is actually really unfortunate because in high school, math was my best subject. It was one of the few things I was actually good at. And now...like I said, it'll be a miracle if I pass this course. But now, I really should go study for French, which I'm actually not worried about. Math is the only of my five exams this semester that I'm worried about. Oh well. Only 46 hours until math'll be over, and 138 hours until I'm done my second year. Woot!

*I was just proofreading this before I post it and I read that sentence and started laughing all over again just thinking about it. And it still isn't that funny...
P.S. I just realized something, and this is probably the worst thing to realize in the middle of exam week, but whatever. What I realized is that, pass or fail, it doesn't really matter. I mean, yes, it might mean an extra year of school. It might mean losing a scholarship, or not getting as high a GPA as you wanted. But, really? Ten years from now, the fact that you only got 75 in a course when you wanted an 80 probably isn't even going to be something you remember. When you're applying for a job, or looking for a promotion, no employer is going to look at your university transcript and be like "Well, it looks like you failed math 1001 the first time you took it in 2010, so I'm afraid we can't hire you." That would never happen in a million years. So yes, it's always a good idea to strive for the best, but sometimes you aren't successful and that's just the way it is. But in 5, 10, 20 years, you won't even remember. Just think about that when you're stressing out over exams.

Glee Debrief!
[SPOILER ALERT!!! This entire post is dedicated to the new episode of Glee. If you haven't seen it yet and you plan on watching it and don't want it ruined, don't read this post until after you've seen it!]
I tried. I actually tried so hard to fight all my natural urges to be antisocial. I didn't want to write while watching Glee. I wanted to watch, whilst being social, and then write about it once I was alone. I failed. It is about to start, and I am on my laptop with every intention of writing throughout the entire episode. Biggest fail ever.
First, I have a confession. Most of you probably guessed this, but I...am a Gleek in every sense of the word. I have never actually referred to myself as a Gleek before, but it's the truth. There's no point in hiding it now; you'll all find out as we go through the episode.
--I love Sue Sylvester. I know she is pure evil, but she's also hilarious and just amazing to watch. She is the perfect antagonist for this show.
--Finn and...Rachel? WTF?! This relationship is doomed, I guarantee it.
--Will is hot. Just saying.
--Will and Emma are the best couple in the history of the world. I was rooting for them for all of last season! Ahhh!! I love them! :)
--Again: Will is so freaking sexy!
--Finn singing while playing basketball and walking around school seems very High School Musical. Anyone else get that?
--No more Finna and Rachel! Called it!
--Finn's face during Gives You Hell is hilarious!
--"If we don't place at regionals then Glee club is over." Ummm...if they lose and glee club is over and then Glee as a show would be over...this show is way too popular to be over after one season. They aren't going to lose. Just saying.
--Why is Rachel singing with one of the guys from Vocal Adrenaline? Rachel! Focus!
--Did anyone else notice that for the first part of the show they only showed Quinn from the shoulders up? I wanna see her preggers belly!!!!!!!!!!!!
--Will and Emma are possibly too cute for words. I want them in my life.
--Emma's a virgin?! Holy new angle on the plot!
--"I met someone else!" "Do I know him? Is he bigger than me?" I love Finn a whole lot.
--Now Rachel is dating the VA guy?! RACHEL!!! What the hell are you doing?!
--Vocal Adrenaline...what the hell?! They are soo good, and their director is a bitch.
--WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooking up with the VA director???? You're with Emma!!!!! What are you doing?!? You're a freaking idiot!!! You're hot factor just decreased so much. Now you're just a jerk.
--Tough love Rachel. Tough love. "You can't kick me out! Good luck winning without me!" "Everyone is replaceable. Even you."
--McKinley High Old Maid's Club! ahahah That's awesome.
--Terry and Emma?! Cat fight?! Sadly, no. But that would have been amazing.
--Also, Terry is a bitch. So glad her and Will broke up, even though Will is a jerk.
--I don't trust Jesse. Not even a little. There's no way he doesn't have an alterior motive for dating Rachel.
--EMMA!!!!!!!!! Don't break up with Will!! Yes, he's a jerk, but you guys belong together!!!!! Gahh!!!
--No, Will, you're not good at being alone! Which is why you should be with Emma! Jezz Louise.
--Oh. Rachel broke up with Jesse. Good. He was not trustworthy.
--Rachel spent the entire fall trying to be with Finn, and now he wants to be with her again, and now she doesn't want him anymore? Rachel! Make up your mind woman!
--I want more Quinn!!!!! She was lacking from this episode.
I know this probably wasn't the best debrief of the episode. I guess I'm not very good at writing reviews of shows while trying to watch them at the same time. But I am so excited for next week's episode: Madonna!! That should be amazing!

Ten hours until Glee, ten hours until Glee, TEN HOURS UNTIL GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want today's post to be entirely focused on Glee. However, in my time zone, Glee doesn't end until midnight, and then it wouldn't go up today, it would go up tomorrow. And I am fighting all my urges to be antisocial and I'm not going to write while watching. So instead, I am posting this little blurb to get you all very excited about Glee finally coming back to us, and once I have watched it tonight, I will post something very long discussuing all my thoughts about it. Sound good?

With unraveled embroidery and fraying hems...
I'm sad. Tonight is the Blue Jays home opener at the Sky Dome (well the Rogers Center, but...really? it's the Sky Dome) and I really want to go. :( I am a huge Blue Jays fan. When people find this out about me, they're usually surpirsed, and I'm not really sure why. I have been going to Blue Jays games since before I had any idea what baseball was. Joe Carter is my all-time favourite player ever. When Roy Halladay got traded in the fall, I cried. I hate the Yankees with a passion. I love the Blue Jays. I want to go watch them play, right now. :(
It is now much later. I wrote that this morning because I was feeling sad about missing the game live (and really, baseball on TV is not nearly as excited. Anyone who's been to a major league baseball game understands) and I also just really didn't want to study. So guess why I'm writing now? Because I don't want to study! My first exam is in fifteen hours, and I'm not that worried, but I feel like maybe I should be. I don't know. My hardest exam isn't until Friday afternoon and I'm already stressing out about it. Hard times.
So I saw the friend that I mentioned here and here at dining hall tonight. I smiled and waved at her and she smiled and waved back and it didn't look sarcastic or fake or anything. This leads me to two possible conclusions: a) she does not read this blog, or b) she read it and is not mad at me. I don't know. But, my dear, you know who you are, and if you're reading this, mad or not, please text me! I really want to talk to you! Love you!! :)
So nothing of importance happened today. I watched this video way more times than is probably healthy. I don't even know this girl, I've never talked to her. I just love this video. I feel asleep last night with that song stuck in my head. It is way too catchy. If you don't subscribe to this channel, you should! I just started watching their videos about a week ago and I love them. Seriously.

*For those of you following my fifty-book challenge, I finished Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood and am now starting the fourth and final book in this series, Forever in Blue. Reading these books makes me want to watch the movies sooo badly, but, even though I own them, I know I don't have time to watch them, at least not until after Friday. Argh! haha

"Why can't we worry about next year, I don't know, next year? Why does it have to ruin this year too?"
I feel kind of bad. I'm pretty sure the friend I mentioned in this blog read what I wrote and is now mad at me. I mean, if she read it she would automatically know I was talking about her. I doubt anyone else knows who I'm talking about, but if she read it, she would know it was her. But part of me also doesn't feel that bad. I mean, it's not like I said anything bad about her. I just talked about how I felt about the situation. And it would be really unfair for her to be mad at me over how I feel. My feelings are my feelings and neither I nor anyone else can change them; that's just how I feel. And, like I said, I didn't say her name or anything bad about her. If I had been like "Her name is Whatever and she's such a bitch! If you know her, you should hate her! And here's a list of all her flaws and all the bad things about her!" If I had said that, then I could completely understand her being mad, because that would be a really mean thing to do. So if you're reading this, and you're mad at me, I'm sorry!! I still love you, I promise! Please text me or something and we can talk about it! I'm not mad at you and I really hope you aren't mad at me, but I also hope you can understand where I was coming from.
So for anyone who read my post yesterday (which I hope is no one. It was terrible. I am sorry) you know that I am sick. Just a stuffy nose, but still. Being sick right before exams is probably the worst part of life. So last night I ran out of Kleenex, probably because I was literally blowing my nose every fifteen minutes. It was kinda gross, I'm not gonna lie. So this morning, I was like, I have to go get more Kleenex, otherwise I might die. So I walked to the Shoppers that is less than ten minutes away walking. So I get there at about 11:30 and I see that it doesn't open until noon! Well, I was not going to walk all the way home, wait less than ten minutes and then walk all the way back. That would just be silly. So I go the the Tim Hortons' that is right next to Shoppers and get a hot chocolate and wait. While drinking my hot chocolate, I realized I had to go to the bank and get money so that I could buy the Kleenex. So I go to the ATM and get $20 (my last $20!) out of my account. Then I look at my watch and see that I still have fifteen minutes until Shoppers opens, so I decide to go to the grocery store and just look around, just for something to do. So I'm walking around the grocery store and I see that they sell Kleenex! So I'm like, well I'll just get it here instead of waiting fifteen minutes for Shoppers to open, where it is probably more expensive. So I pick up a box of Kleenex and I'm ready to go. Except, for some reason, I decide that continuing to look around the grocery story is a good idea. This is where it all goes downhill. Instead of just getting the $0.99 box of Kleenex that I needed and leaving, I ended up getting two boxes of cookies, two bags of Crispy Minis and some Fuzzy Peaches. I spent $13 for a $0.99 box of Kleenex. I really don't understand myself sometimes.
So I have a really big decision to make by Friday about where I'm going to live next year and I really have no idea what I'm going to do. I can either come back to res for a third year or live off-campus. The price is going to be about the same, so it's really just which one I want. I am so not equipped to make this decision, which could potentially be life-changing, and I really don't know what to do. So I am going to discuss the pros and cons of each option, and maybe you guys can let me know what you think. (I'm not asking anyone to make this decision for me; I know I'm the only one that can make it. I'm just hoping maybe some of you can give me your opinions.)
1) LIVING IN RES
PROS
--right on campus; no time walking to campus
--on meal plan; don't have to worry about cooking or grocery shopping
--living with friends nearby
--can ask others for help with courses etc
CONS
--roommate; no single room/privacy
--dining hall sucks, especially for vegetarian
--lots of socializing; not conducive to good study habits
2) LIVING OFF-CAMPUS
PROS
--can make my own food and eat what I want
--live with more studious people; potentially better marks?
--own room; sooo much more privacy
--bathroom shared with three other girls, not 15
--can watch TV? maybe...(when not studying...)
CONS
--have to take time to cook and grocery shop; added stress
--have to take time to walk to campus; boots, coat, etc
--not as close to some friends; likely won't see them as often
--probably not as involved in winter carnival, I <3 MUNdays, etc
That's pretty much all I can think of for both, although I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting. If anyone has any brilliant ideas or opinions about how I can decide, they would be so much appreciated. I have until Friday and...I don't know. I just don't know.

P.S. The title of this post is a quote from season three of The OC, I'm not sure which episode. Seth said it to Ryan. For anyone who knew that, I love you. Just saying. :)

--on meal plan; don't have to worry about cooking or grocery shopping
--living with friends nearby
--can ask others for help with courses etc
CONS
--roommate; no single room/privacy
--dining hall sucks, especially for vegetarian
--lots of socializing; not conducive to good study habits
2) LIVING OFF-CAMPUS
PROS
--can make my own food and eat what I want
--live with more studious people; potentially better marks?
--own room; sooo much more privacy
--bathroom shared with three other girls, not 15
--can watch TV? maybe...(when not studying...)
CONS
--have to take time to cook and grocery shop; added stress
--have to take time to walk to campus; boots, coat, etc
--not as close to some friends; likely won't see them as often
--probably not as involved in winter carnival, I <3 MUNdays, etc
That's pretty much all I can think of for both, although I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting. If anyone has any brilliant ideas or opinions about how I can decide, they would be so much appreciated. I have until Friday and...I don't know. I just don't know.
Books read this year: 16
Exams left until summer: 5

P.S. The title of this post is a quote from season three of The OC, I'm not sure which episode. Seth said it to Ryan. For anyone who knew that, I love you. Just saying. :)
