R.I.P.

Hey! I'm finally back home! The girl with the ruby slippers said it best. There really is no place like home sweet home. It's like taking one giant exhale. I can finally hang up the old thinking cap and give the old noggin a well-deserved rest.

I just wanted to give a grand farewell to the blog because if it's not already dead, it's soon going to be when everyone goes home (Sorry Rach and Melvin!). I'll try to keep checking and updating but I make no promises. Big plans this summer! I'm going to Shanghai in July to take Mandarin. I figured I might as well try to prepare a mode of communication when the US inevitably crumbles, dragging the EU down with it while India tries and fails to fill the vacuum only to be annexed when China takes over the world. Plus, it's a good excuse to go to the Expo! Very exciting!

So now I have a long-awaited date with my huge stack of books. I've been buying books all year and never had a chance to just sit down and devour them all. We need to spend some quality time together or this relationship just isn't going to last.

We need to get together this summer before everyone disappears on their busy summer adventures. Just putting it out there. If you don't like it, just send it right back and we can discuss issues like the housing bubble. No pressure.

o___o

Wow this blog really is dying. It's been a week and absolutely no one has posted anything : O
I thought I would just stop by to mention that. Well nothing is new in my world except that I gonna be starting to learn how to knit soon : DD with my roommate and we are gonna go by yarn soon! I'm excited haha Oh and I will be going to the Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom Festival) at Brooklyn Botanical Garden on May 1st, so that should be exciting as well! I finally get to wear my yukata ^o^

Other than that... school work hasn't really been piling up a lot. It's just that I am super procrastinator so... I'm getting things done last minute, studying for my tests the day before; it's all good!

I shake my fist at those who are done for the year and are on summer break now. rawr

Best day ever!

I was walking along outside my res when something caught my eye. I looked down and there it was: a bright, shiny . . .

Paintball!

Okay, it was not the best day ever. But if I had put "Boring, bland, blah day with some humdrum ho hum on the side," you would have never bothered to continue reading. Sadly, that is how my life is right now.

There is absolutely nothing going on! Everyone is holed up studying from dawn until dusk (well, to be more accurate about the university kid's sleep schedule, from noon until dawn). I wish I had awesome stories to tell like Rach, but I've got zilch.

On the exam update:
  1. French oral: terminated
  2. Journalism: terminated
  3. History: doom still impending
  4. French written: boredom still impending
  5. Psychology: Scantron joy impending
  6. Linguistics: don't make me laugh
Colours are fun. You see how little I have in my life? Font colours on a blog! This is rock bottom, folks.

What is keeping me sane? Six more days until I go home!

HEY! I do have something to write about. I finished How I Met Your Mother (much more quickly than I'm proud to admit) and am in dire need of a new show. If you have suggestions, please share.

Requirements:
  • Must humour me (and I'm talking guffawing and hysterical paroxysms of laughter that will make me want to re-enact the scene at the next cocktail party. Shows eliciting pity laughs need not apply.)
  • Minimal cliff hangers (I do not want to be stuck in front of my laptop for the next month trying to see what happens next, though I do understand that some level of cliff hanging is required to make a show successful.)
  • Minimal thought needed to enjoy the show
  • This is the big one: AVAILABLE ON DC++
I started watching Glee and I still don't know if I really like it. There are just too many characters that make me want to claw my eyes out. Then, just as I'm about to stop watching it forever, Sue says something about caning children or the poor wheelchair kid gets pushed off the stage. How they toy with my emotions! The fiends!

Now I'm officially out of any material that may be remotely interesting to you. Here is proof: the next big thing coming up in my life is scouring our room to make it ready for inspection. They sent us a little pamphlet telling us exactly what we have to do and I do not like all those action words they put on there: wipe, vacuum, remove, empty, CLEAN! The horror! Our res has been here since about 1945 and I'm pretty sure not one student in all that time has ever cleaned our room.

As you can see, my life is just exploding with fineness.

10.4.10

come on guys!

I decided to take a few minutes out of my life to help the blog too! =] I would hate to see it die.

Okay so it is now 1:17 here and this is my day so far. Woke up, took a shower, and write on blogger.  lol.  I really wish I could wake up earlier, but even with my ___ alarms, I just cant. I need like a bucket of water hanging on top of my bed or an electric shocker or anything that does something more than just make annoying sounds.

I know some of you are in finals mode, so I just wanna say good luck!!! You are almost done!
As for me, I have 8 more weeks of school and then finals so that should take me to mid-June. Hopefully I will get to see some of your horny and intercourse-craving faces during the summer.

most LOL week ever.

This week was just FILLED with laugh-out-loud moments.
I don't even know where to begin...
Two major events happened this week:
1. The oven in my room caught on fire.
2. I experienced my first ever speed dating event.

You can read about those in detail here and here, respectively.
Let's just say, both were filled with epicness and laughter xD

See guys, it's not THAT hard to post a quick update.

8.4.10

i guess i could update

Fiiiine, I'll post if I must. But also I'm in art history. lol.
I'm pretty much done!!! :) I just got 2 presentations to go, but it's not like I'm going to loose crazy amount of sleep over that.

Vertical STudio is in and my spoon is in. And boyyyy was that a disastrous day! I'm done though! I don't really wanna get into it.

Yesturday, I had my first last class and right now I'm in my last art history class. It's finally done!!!! But other then loosing sleep and not eating, nothing is new. So this is going to be short and sweet.

I would love to hear from the dudes of the blog. update please :)

I'm not dead yet!

I thought it was time for me to come to the rescue and resuscitate (wow, it's been a while since I found a word that was difficult to spell. That one really stumped me.) this dead blog of ours. I appreciate Em's and Rach's efforts. The rest of you: FOR SHAME!

As aforementioned (I always wanted to use that word) by Rach, exams have indeed arrived apace. I had my French oral exam yesterday, which was so easy that it was practically a joke. We have to go in pairs so Kitty and I went together. Our French teacher loves us . . . and we hate him. He has a horrible yuk-yuk-yuk! kind of laugh and he asks the same questions over and over again. Aside from actual content questions for the oral, he kept asking us informal, unnecessary questions in the spirit of mild chatting and polite banter. It was incredibly dull. What are we doing this summer? What language do we speak at home? Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. At least it was easy.

The real exams start tonight at 7 p.m. Journalism. Last semester, we just had multiple choice for the journalism exam. But this time, our prof decided it would be fun to watch us squirm in the two-hour limit and answer 20 multiple choice questions and two essays. Albeit they're not long essays (only four pages double-spaced), but still. I'd rather not.

Naturally, as my entire future rests on my performance in those two hours, I have been cramming my head full of media history and the prospects for journalists today. And after all that I have learned, I now know that I want to build a time machine, go back in time, and knock out everyone who named the policies that govern the media. Why would anyone want to make three Broadcasting Acts and two Radiotelegraph Acts? These wishy washy people were never happy with the names of their organizations either. They created the Board of Broadcasting Governors and the Canadian Film Development Agency, only to rename them as the CRTC and Telefilm. Lame.

On the up side, my memory seems to be up to snuff. Excellent. I can't wait until this exam is over and I can just empty my brain. Then I'll have a whole week to sit around and collect dust until my next exam.

I'm sure most of you are having the same exam blues as me. Study hard, kids! We're almost done!

For those stuck in the US: I offer you my motivational fist pumps. I'd cherish those if I were you. They don't come by very often. You lucky dogs!

7.4.10

oh boy...

Wow, our blog is practically dead right now since Ve doesn't even have time to update... finals time for her! good luck!
And since basically all of you are done classes now (or will be done): Good luck on your finals! 8D Congratulations! You have completed your first year of university! Now go and enjoy your summer break to the fullest, while melvin and I slave away for these couple of months. Sigh I have two more months... hopefully they'll zoom past. They probably will.

Back to research now... at least about something I'm interested in.

1.4.10

leaving ry

hey

i can't believe school is almost done. i cannnn nott wait!!!!!
Vertical Studio + Spoon= death of me! Actually.

i dont know if interior design is for me, so i'm going to leave school for a bit. There's just soo many things I want to do. I don't know if Interior Design is for me, right now. So I think I'm going to finish this semester off then go back home and figure my life out. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this industry. So yeaaaa.... wanted you guys to hear it from me.

Hope you all are well!!





p.s:: jokes! Happy April 1st! :)
