I've been thinking about it a lot these days about how I can't wait, wait, wait til we move. I miss the old days when people would come over and hang. I'm being optimistic that once I move, I can invite people over again and hang out. I am sick of this gloomy little hole. It's not that it's small that I have a problem with - although that does play a part. But it's just sooo commercialized around here, and it's so gloomy and messy. I miss our house being fragile and looking like no one lived in it. Hahaha just kidding. But I miss having a "home." Hahah try that on for size. But also, living on a quiet street, with houses around me, with a garage in the front of my house...and oh a driveway, I miss having a driveway. I miss having more than two rooms so go to....talk about spoiled. :(

But anyways, my point was...I can't wait to move. 2 months, 2 months.

mr. sock monkey

im almost done!!!! just need to buy eyes :)

also..im debating whether to take out the lines out of his ears.

yaaaay :D

Hello, hello.

Back from Mexico. (that rhymes)

I'm happy to be home, but missing it at the same time.

It's nice having some family in town, but this house is toooo freaking small man.

It doesn't feel like Christmas is in two days.

I miss all the old festivities that would take place back in the day...

I'm feeling kinda nostalgic today. I just miss...a lot of things. :( Poopy.

But then again, it's CHRISTMAS :)

Which is cool :)

hello, hello, hello!

Good news folks! I'm done my exams!!

High five to that!

Today's been a really good day. I got a fair amount of sleep, I saw two of my bestest friends, went to surrey, hung out with E for a bit, wrote my LAST exam, and got a paper back that I got an A- on, and then I went to dinner with the familia, and other good things with that too.... :D I was shaking after my exam especially since I saw that A-. I was so happy. Call me a nerd. Sorry. Think I should've gotten a bit better, but whatever, I'm happy with it, and I'm done. I'm going to repeat that for emphasis. Ready? I'm done.

This is a hugeeee accomplishment. Granted, this is not how I saw it turning out. But I can't say I'm not happy. I'm the opposite of that. I'm overjoyed. It feels like just yesterday that I started this semester, yet it doesn't. I feel like I have learned so much about in the last few months, but not necessarily academically. But anyways, I just really, really didn't think I would get here. I couldn't wait to be done. But guess what? Oh yeah...I'm done ;)

Hehehehe.

I keep feeling like I should be doing something.

Since...I'm just sitting here - which is reminiscent of all the nights that I would just sit here and procrastinate. Anyways, life is good.

I haven't taken the time to take note of this lately...or appreciate it...

but I'm happy and content. :)

Cheers!

Let's party.

Just kidding.

In other news, mexico in 2!

Badabing badaboom!

lalala, guess what?

one more exam til im DONE.

i WISH i could say that i've been acing them, but that'd be a lie.

but it's okay, why? 'cause one more exam 'til im DONE.

in other news,

did you know that it's five months today that i moved?

that's pretty crazy. i was thinking about it as i drove home today.

five months is actually a long time...i've survived. hahaha.

life goes on i guess.

As time goes by...I realize how screwed I am.

As far as 110 goes, I think I can pass it...and hopefully do better than just a pass.

130 on the other hand...I'm really iffy about.

When I say iffy...that is an understatement. I am legitimately screwed.

Not to mention, my 110 exam goes til 630 tomorrow, so I have to drive home THEN study for 130.

On top of that, I have barely touched English because I've been trying to focus all my energy into communications. It's just English, right?

...I just need to pass, right?

Ahh...all the justifications I feed myself.

Lame.

Four more days til I can kiss SFU good-bye.

It's going by so slow, but too fast at the same time.

I always go to bed determined, but wake up apathetic.

Then I realize half the day is gone, and study my butt off.

HOWEVER, tomorrow, I aim to legitimately study for the majority of the day.

...did I say majority? I meant the whole day...Sorry.

First exam in 2 days, last exam in 4.

I am....dead.

In other news, while I didn't get the most studying done today, it was nice to have a visitor.

Felt just like old do nothing nights in my "old" room. That's kinda nostalgic...but whattttevs :)

I'm dead, I'm dead.

You just need to pass Joanne, you just need to pass.

So...tomorrow, like I posted in my stat on facebook...I'm only leaving my room if it is absolutely necessary. I think hygiene and my health are extremely important...however, the shower might have to wait tomorrow. TMI? Sorry.

Goodnightttt (to all the people who don't read this.)

Hahaha

Kinda glad I have stayed loyal to my blogspot instead of completely switching over to tumblr since everyone's complaining about how it's down. It's good anyway....finals, you know. I'm too brain dead to even form full sentences.

No more pictures for a while...since I am barely leaving my room - even for the three S's. hahaha keeding.

Only a few people are allowed to see me like this...

5 more days, 5 more days.

I can't tell if this excites me or stresses me out.

In contrast to yesterday's jolly picture.

This is how I feel about today.

Studying is so...boring.

"Hmmph."

PS. if you're paying attention, you'll notice that this picture is taken in the exact same place as the last one...aka i havent left my room much..(except to SSS...and eat)

juuuuuust keeding..or not.

Having the hardest time buckling down...

I just got up, but I'm going to STUDY today.

I'm playing some "pump up" music right now.

I don't know where to start. I really don't want to. :(

7 more days joanne, 7 more days.

I didn't want a huge picture of my face, so I thought I'd split it up into four. So lucky you, you get to see me FOUR times.

I just wanted to share...that I got a haircut this week.

Thumbs up for that.

Also thumbs up for...

school being done!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beginning to Study for Exams.

So, I'm taking it easy tonight and easing myself into the studying - haha ;)

But anyways, I'm starting off with reading some stories for English. And when I say easing myself in, I mean easing myself in. In other words, I started with "A Very Short Story" by Ernest Hemingway. Which is...a page long. :)

Anyways, there's a line in it near the end where it says,

"Living in the muddy, rainy town in the winter, the major of the battalion made love to Luz, and she had never known Italians before, and finally wrote to the States that theirs had only been a boy and girl affair. She was sorry, and she knew he would probably not be able to understand, but might some day forgive her, and be grateful to her, and she expected, absolutely unexpectedly, to be married in the spring. She loved him as always, but she realized now it was only a boy and girl love. She hoped he would have a great career, and she believed in him absolutely. She knew it was for the best.

The major did not marry her in the spring or any other time. Luz never got an answer to the letter from Chicago about it. A short time after he contracted gonorrhea from a sales girl in a loop department store while riding in a taxi cab through Lincoln Park."

I guess that was more than a line. But oddly enough, that part of the story always makes me really sad. Especially, when it says how she still loved him as always, and how she hoped he would have a great career and she believes in him. Yeah, I'm a softie, but that breaks my heart.

THEN it goes on to say that she never got what she expected, and in the end, they both don't get what they want. And as for the guy, he even gets more than what he bargained for, yuck.

But yeah, things like that always get me. Like people who love each other who don't get up together, or stories about life just happening, you know? Really makes me think. LOL. I'm a sap.

i miss reading this on my wall everyday..

D-O-N-E

Call me a nerd, but I am ecstatic about the mark I got today.

After a whole semester of getting mediocre marks, I did my last presentation for the semester, and I got 4.5/5. I am so so so happy. :) I just feel like I actually accomplished something that I'm actually proud of. I think that's only happened a few times this semester. I'm just really happy. Haha, it's been a frustrating couple of days, and I spent all day yesterday working on it. PLUS, it's my last "thing" to do before exams, which is AMAAAAZING. I'm so happy. :) I just thought I'd share the excitement.

I really didn't think this day would come. Granted, I'm not done yet, but December seemed like a long, long, long time away, but now it's here!! 1o more days til I'm DONE.

Again, I'm kind of sad to leave. I've met some good people, but still. ADKJAKFADF so happy at the same time :)

Also, I came home and cleaned my room and my closet, which has been bugging me for suchhh a long time. Phewf!

Yaay!
