This is going to take awhile to explain everything! Just so you know, no one got them all right. I’m astonished! Almost everyone got #10 which was false, and almost everyone picked #3 which was true!! :P So here we go!

1. I’ve attended two operas.
This is true, and although I enjoyed them both I would not have gone of my own free will.

2. Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday.
Duh! Christmas is my favorite holiday! Although I do enjoy VDay, there have been times in the past where it very much sucked.

3. I’m generally a very organized person.
I’m still appalled about how everything thinks I’m disorganized. My room might not be spotless, but my schedule and time is sorted out almost to the second. I have a day planner and everything! You people…

4. I like Impressionist art.
I LOVE Impressionist art. Hasn’t anyone noticed my Monet poster? I’ve also been known to mention an affinity towards Van Gogh.

5. My current Post-Its are light pink.
They are in fact purple, fushia, and neon orange. But I do have light pink ones somewheres.

6. I like to buy my postage stamps in bulk.
Yes, I do. I hate having to purchase a stamp every time that I mail a letter. It’s easier to buy a bunch at a time.

7. “Come What May” is my favorite song from Moulin Rouge.
No way! I’ve been known to say that this one is boring, compared to fast upbeat and fun numbers.

8. My power bar smells like stale beer.
In my freshman year, some jerks spilled beer all over it when they stole it for a party WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Oooh, I was pissed.

9. I hate candles.
Anyone who has seen me go over my Christmas gifts will no doubt have heard me say “another dumb candle”, usually from some relative who has no idea what to get me or what I like.

10. My CDs are currently alphabetized by last name.
They were at one time, but have since been completely disorganized, and right now I don’t much care :)

To sum it all up, 2, 5, 7, and 10 were false. Thanks for guessing! And now you all know one more thing about me that you just couldn’t go on living without knowing! :D

Getting Aged. And Broked.

Wednesday, January 26th, 2005

New with me? Well, yesterday my right leg was KILLING ME, right around my hip/thigh area. I figured it was from slipping around on the snow. This morning I threw on my super loaded messenger bag with books and my laptop in it and realized that all my weight was going on — you guessed it — the right leg. I tried putting it on the right shoulder instead, so I would lean on my left leg for awhile, but not only did it feel unnatural and awkward, it started to hurt my shoulders and eventually my back. So I spent the majority of the morning hobbling around like a lame bird.

Eventually I realized I was going to need a new bookbag. I thought, awesometastic, maybe I can get a pink one! I was going to ask Robyn to drive me in to New Minas, but since I didn’t feel like bothering her (and I needed to catch on reading I couldn’t do last night) so I just went to the campus store. All the ones made for laptops of course had messenger straps. The only remotely girly one was plum coloured and had no laptop softiness. The one I ended up getting is small, black and white with an Acadia logo (and a Roots logo but who cares), and it has lots of softiness in the back, where it will be slamming against me all day as I walk around. So optimum for soreness, however, the laptop may or may not suffer a minor concussion from being battered around so much.

But, hey, the laptop can be fixed. I can’t.

So 55$ later, I have a hopefully noninjurious (I made up a word!) bookbag and a new student planner that was half off (since half the year is over…) but I’m planning to put it into good use and stay organized! So here’s hoping! Ooh, and I might be getting a little job at the library. Stay tuned, yo!

Long Days End in Y

Tuesday, January 25th, 2005

I’m sitting in the library at the moment, waiting for another 20 minutes to tick by so that I can go meet with my prof and then head back up the hill to go home and eat a nice warm supper and chill out for the rest of the night. As far as I know, I don’t have any homework tonight since I was a good girl and I did it all on Sunday even though I knew that I wasn’t going to have any school yesterday. I should practice my minor scale sightsinging though, so I’ll try to remember to take a look at it. Other than that, I’m just doing more of the same. Staring out at the never ending snow falling. BAH HUMBUG I’M TIRED OF SNOW.

Two profs cancelled on me today, one of which did not even email me to let me know. I hate that, it’s just so irresponsible. Adults shouldn’t be doing that. How can I keep up my commitment when I’m not getting anything from the other side? Grrr. I can’t wait until February the 18th, when I’m flying out of here, happy as a clam in mud. It better not storm, because I’m not missing out on my week with Mike.

At any rate, I’ll be chilling out in the apartment tonight, trying to avoid the cold weather.

One Is A Lonely Number

Monday, January 24th, 2005

I don’t understand what it is about me that I always end up in pretty much the same place. Here, by myself, in front of the computer. For once, I’d like to know what the average college experience is like. Just a taste. I wish it wasn’t that big of a deal if I wanted to go out for once. Or catch a movie. Or anything. Hang out and chat for a few hours. Whatever. Sometimes it feels like I’m not really living my life. I’m just kind of here. It would be so awesome to have a group of girlfriends that were like me. Not carbon copies, but that liked the same things I did, that I had things in common with and that we enjoyed hanging out together. Maybe then I wouldn’t be so anxious for this crap to be over. As things stand, I just want it to be summer so I can not worry about being lonely for 4 months. The second I can, I’ll be out of here and on a plane.

Buried.

Saturday, January 22nd, 2005

Well, I guess the snow is just going to keep falling until we are all igloo-ized. It’s giving more than 40 centimetres tomorrow. That’s on TOP of whatever we have now, which I can imagine is freakin’ close to that, if not more. We’ve had at least 30 centimetres so far. The snow piled on either side of the sidewalks is to my hips now. But yeah, I’m not going ANYWHERES tomorrow, I’m going to hang out here, do homework and watch movies, and possibly not go to school on Monday.

At any event, I’m going to make sure all my homework is done. This is one goal that I’m not going to let slip away.

It’s a good thing we did groceries last week before all the snow started up again. It was pretty cold the last few days. I walked to work and taxied back both Friday night and this morning. I’m glad I got to do my shifts before the storm, though, because that’ll be money in the bank later on. I did get my student loan apparently, so that’s awesome. I’m not sure how much I’ll have left over after tuition, but some of it is going towards my plane fare next month. Maybe even a month’s rent.

I will be happy when money problems aren’t just on my shoulders anymore. Although I’m hoping that they won’t be a problem at all after university, but I don’t know what the likelihood of me getting a good job with this. Lately I’ve been thinking that being a music librarian/archivist would be pretty cool. It’s what I’ve been doing for my apprenticeship hours, and it’s not that bad. I’m pretty organized and stuff. Once I know more about tranferring formats and stuff (which I’m learning next week, weather pending), then I should be raring to go. I’m just not sure if jobs are available in that field or not.

Other than that, I’ll be the Eskimo Meags, in my little igloo with my ice cat.

Um, right.

Friday, January 21st, 2005

I don’t have all that much to say these days, and that’s probably why the blogs have been lacking. A few times I opened up this window and just kind of left it for awhile. Even now, I’m not really sure what I want to say, just that I haven’t updated in awhile and I should probably write something. Maybe just an all around update would be good.

Cut Off

Tuesday, January 18th, 2005

Yes, I’ve been cut off. Cut off from what you ask? The great grand world of … cellular phones.

I couldn’t afford to pay my bill anymore, so I gave it to mom, and apparently she uses it all the time. This is good, because I was barely using it here in Wolfville due to the crappy service that I was getting and a general non-need of it. I don’t have anyone local to call really, and I’m home most of the time anyways. So yeah, it feels a bit weird to not be connected anymore. I miss the text messaging. That’s pretty much it. And having a convenience phone nearby at all times. But I’m glad to be rid of the bills, for sure. Maybe someday I can go back to the cell world, but for now I’ll be based from the internet and my home phone.

So yeah, if you feel the need to text me, don’t, because my mom will freak out and wonder what the heck to do.

Mike’s Gone

Sunday, January 16th, 2005

Well, the apartment feels really cold and empty now. I’ve been trying to do my ear training assignment, but it’s going really slow. I tried to read my Physics of Sound text and I fell asleep. Bah. What I really want is Mike to walk in the door and come here and tell me a dumb joke then we can just be together. Being so far apart most of the time really sucks, especially after we were together just about every day for a month. It’s already time to start counting down the days until I can go up and visit him. The cat’s is pretty happy to have me all to herself again though, she’s been on my lap every spare second she can get! I’m determined to get this done though, so for now I’ve got to get back to it. This year, my resolution is to get better marks then last semester (it shouldn’t to difficult a task, they were pretty terrible).
