And I apologize to those who for whatever reason don't care to read what I choose to type… but I have my motivations. Today was an interesting one I had the hardest time getting out of bed (I really should get to sleep soon tonight), but had a good time in class before heading to… Continue reading Lately I've been posting semi-regularly

… tonight, during a 15 minute break from work, I walked to Jasper ave and saw a little segment of the torch relay. I even took my very first video with my phone and some (somewhat blurry) photos with my phone. The photos can be found at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2182082&id=120402019&l=2b7236353b Here the video should be (it's my… Continue reading The Olympic torch on a chilly Edmonton evening….

… but I'm still procrastinating a fair deal. I have got into a semi-habit of playing the Wii Fit regularly though so that's a start. Today I learned how to use IRC (thanks Michael!), and I downloaded iTunes (along with the new Vampire Weekend album, and some scattered tracks) to use my gift card. I'm… Continue reading I think I'm finally getting into the groove of school-mode…

And I'm realizing that I'm doing a rather good job of using my Wii Fit Plus on a daily basis — if only to do a body test and an activity or two. Given the time, I try to do at least half an hour or an hour's worth of activity daily — it's an… Continue reading So I'm still procrastinating, but not as badly now…

Anywho… I've been doing a decent job being social lately. The SLIS crowd went out for dinner last night a Chianti's. That was fun. I don't think I mentioned going to breakfast with Nancy and Graham and then meeting Graeme and Vicky on the LRT on the way to curling or the fact that I… Continue reading So, it's been a rather unproductive weekend (this CANNOT last)

So, as some of you know, there is a man in my life. At this point he's halfway around the world, but he's definitely in my life. I miss him incredibly much and at this point I hope to make it to Norway eventually (soon?) to visit, but we'll see. Certainly not what I would… Continue reading A somewhat brief update from a girl whose life is different than she expected it to be at this point

… because that's what it was, a vacation, right? I planned on catching up on research work, cleaning, and other mundane chores around the house this holiday season. Instead, I met a most wonderful gentleman, and ended up having a rather enjoyable holiday indeed! Plus, I was spoiled at Christmas, purchased a tonne of excellent… Continue reading So, tomorrow school starts again… so today's a good time to reflect on my vacation…

So as December draws to a close, I realise that I've spent most of the month acquiring technology. Christmas and Boxing week was no exception! I now have a nifty smart phone, an awesome netbook, a fabulous Wii and Wii Fit Plus with extra controller and nunchuk and rechargeable battery pack thingies, and have installed… Continue reading Happy New Year (and technology is awesome!)

Beth and I exchanged gifts tonight, because I don't know what my schedule will be like in the next few days (nor hers) leading up to Christmas. I got an Arrogant Worms CD (Russell's Shorts) and The Essential Weird Al Yankovic! I'm so very spoiled! 🙂 In other news, tonight was a wonderful Kiwanis social… Continue reading Getting spoiled!

… heck it's the holidays. And I'm having one damn good time. In other news, yesterday I volunteered the CKI Bissell Centre Gift Wrap from 10:30am-9pm. It was good, but could have been much much better. Regardless I met some great fellow volunteers and had some great company. I'm not getting much sleep lately, but… Continue reading Maybe I should be more academically productive, but…
