Yout don't know what you got...

I just got out of my organic chem lab. I had casually asked my lab partner why she was gone last week and she told me, "well my brother is in critical care in Toronto". I said I was sorry to hear that, and I didn't want to interrogate her about what happened. She later mentioned that he was in a car accident. I know she is from Sudbury, so for her brother to be taken to Torono must mean he is in pretty bad shape. I just wanted to use this to remind us all that every day we are so blessed with the wonderful things we have: health and family. I myself get caught up in the busy day-to-day grind, and I need to work on appreciating the important things, and not getting worked up about the small things that don't really matter. My lab partner struck a chord in me, and I am so grateful for how lucky I am that all my loved ones are healthy :D

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

So I know I have abandoned my blog, and I'm sorry. School is SO INSANE!!! My Statistics course takes up a lot of my time because each week we have an assignment that is worth 3%, and they take about 12 hrs. to do. Plus I have weekly physics assignments, and weekly chem lab write ups so I'm pretty much sick of school! I am officially done on the 27th of April. That is my last exam. Then I think I am going to take summer courses to catch up on my courses that did not transfer over from Guelph.

Nothing new really...

OH! the Guys and I went to see Battle LA in theatres on Tuesday and it was SOOO GOOD! There was guns and aliens and violence and blood! So ya know its gotta be good... Definately think the US marines put a lot of $$$ into it because there was a lot of talk that the marines were SO amazing and they never leave a man behind, and blah blah blah... but even still it is a good movie.

I'm not celebrating St Patty's today, well not as much as the guys. I kicked them out to go to Nicks so I can have the night to do homework and study for my 3 midterms next week. Well, I also got one of the tiny bottles of Bailey's to put in my coffee tonight. That's my celebration : Homework and coffee with Bailey's.

Anywho I had better go. I will try my hardest to make another post this weekend. Hopefully the guys will go to the island and I will have the place to myself :D HUGS!!!

yep! It's midterm season and I am officially losing my mind! I was up late last night studying for my anatomy midterm, which is Thurs morning. I haven't been doing as well as I want to in that course so I'm really kicking it into gear! No sleep. No time for sleep. You get plenty of time to sleep when you're dead! That's my motto until the summer. I have taken a new approach to midterm season. Usually I am so busy doing my weekly assignments I find it hard to get sufficient study time in. But silly me had a notion. Assignments aren't worth nearly as much as the midterm! So scrap the assignment time, and rack up the study time! DUH! I always wondered why i did so well on the assignments, but when it came to testing it wasn't so hot. DUHHH BRIANNA!

This past weekend wasn't too exciting. Well, Sunday night Austin had some friends over and I took advantage of the fact that one of them had had too much to drink ( i know this sounds bad so far...) but I convinced him to let me BLEACH his hair! Muhahahaha! Jeff Butler is no longer a red-headed ginger. He now looks like Malfoay from Harry Potter. Hehehehonhonhon. that's what happens when u get inebriated and mess up MY spotless apartment. U wake up with a head full of albino!

Ok, not I gota go study how our ears work exactly. Have a great week everyone!!!

Siren's personal Car seat.

So siren is so much of a princess that she has dubbed me her car seat, and furthermore her shedding-hair-catcher. When I got out of the car I was both covered in hair and oxygen deprived! What a dog!

And just for fun, this is the mouse blood sample that I centrifuged in my bio lab. The top layer is the plasma (consisting of water, electrolytes, plasma proteins, and random things carried by blood) The more dense bottom layer is red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. yummy!

Have a great weekend everyone. Please sleep in for me! I have been working super hard this week trying to get done all of my assignments. BLAH!!! HUGS

Some ppl have horseshoes wayyyyy up their bums!

Poor Freddie was introduced to black ice the other night. Luckily him, Ryan, Michelle, and Erin are all okay, even though the car was destroyed by a couple trees and a huge rock.

Mom and Alana have officially moved to the Island now. It is rly nice to have them closer now. Dad and Mom and I all went in on a Nintendo DSi for Alana when they were all on sale. I was finally able to give it to her this weekend and she was glued to it the whooole time! Gifts for alana are tricky because either its a hit or miss. There was also a poster sale at my school and I found her a Taylor Launtner (Jacob) poster for her new room. I think she may have loved that even more, I mean, a DSi doesn't have a 6-pack lol.

But my week is going well so far. Last one was a busy one because I had so many assignments due, but this one should be a little less hectic. Have a good week everyone!

HUGS!

Back in the Swing of things.

So we are 90% done geting settled into this place. Here is our living room with the shelves we got at ikea:And here is our messily-organized bedroom. We got the closet organizer on sale at Canadian Tire today for just a bit over $100! woohoo! We still need to find a bed frame though :S

And here is Fred after he let me paint his nails pink hehehonhonhon.

And a few days ago I leaned why not to slice frozen bread with a sharp, shaaaarp bread knife:

It is healing well, but I can't feel between my fingernail and the cut. Doubt that will ever come back :( In case you were worried, I managed to make my garlic bread once I got a band-aid on the sucker lol.

Austin is back from the island this weekend. I think he will be here for a while now that he is finished helping with Fred's truck. School is off to a good yet hectic start this semester. I need to work out a study schedule before I fall behind. Hope everyone has a good week! Ttyl. HUGS!!!
