i've been day dreaming.

thank goodness its tuesday! since last week, i've been going non-stop with school work. today i handed in phase one of my LEED project! i thought that it would have been a short assignment that would take only a couple hours.. low and behold, 7 hours later, and feeling like i live at school, i finally finished! bah!

other than that, not a whole lot is new with me other than school. friday, i have my drafting class, and then i have an appointment with my technical writing prof to go over my research paper with me. i really hope i don't have a lot of things to correct.. i just want to finish my last little bit and start preparing my presentation. speaking of which... i'm a little nervous about because it's twenty minutes all by myself. usually my presentations only run about 15 at the most, and i usually have one more person with me. hopefully, everything goes well!!!

i'm SUPER excited for this weekend! it's valentine's day AND chinese new years! conveniently they happen to fall on the same day this year! tomorrow, i am going to visit my grandparents and bring them over a bunch goodies for the new year, and have a big family dinner with everyone! then on saturday, i am hoping to make it to the mall to look for a dress for v-day. i have a dress at home i can wear, but maybe i can find something new, cute, and inexpensive! then sunday is the big day! my most favourite holiday!!! even when i was single i loved it! plus, now i get something pretty every year <3 hehe. i'm not sure what we are doing yet (he has kept it under wraps) but i will keep everyone posted!

anyways, i'm going to go for a hot tub and catch up on some leisure reading!
hope everyone is enjoying their night!

ps. valentine's day comes out on friday! can't wait to see it!

today: imma be - black eyed peas

i am a coin that is in mint condition.

so happy it's weekend time! i have a ton of homework to do this weekend, but who doesn't love weekends? last night i had a dinner and movie date with alex! we went to a new malaysian restaurant for dinner and it was deliiiish! and then he went with me to dear john (what a good boyfriend!) the movie was goood, but i wish i hadn't read the book before i saw the movie. i found myself expecting parts that i read in the book to be in the movie. but all in all, it was an alright movie! channing tatum (he's cute.. hehe) and amanda seyfried (she's so pretty) did and wonderful job! the only complaint that i have is the annoying noisy girls sitting two rows behind us! i wanted to turn around about five times throughout the movie to tell them to shut up! but i wont give anything else away...

i just finished eating some cereal for breakfast and watching big bang! and after i'm done my blogging, i believe alex and i are going to head out for run! and then i have some homework and readings to do. i have no idea what my plans for tonight are.. maybe dinner and a movie at home?

this upcoming week i have a bunch of stuff due for school.. tomorrow i have my 2,200 words due for my capstone research class (only 1000 more to go after that!), and then monday i have a quiz in my specifications class, and sustainable design class, and an in-class assignment in my building science detailing class and then tuesday, phase one of my LEED project is due! (that is a serious run-on sentence! haha)

anyways, i hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

today: telephone - lady gaga feat. beyonce

like an island.

i've been awake since 6:50am.. and i haven't been able to get back to sleep. i have no class today, so i thought since i was up this early, i could get a good start on finishing up my research for my paper. its now 10:50am, and i still haven't started.. i showered, watched the most recent episode of "the big bang theory", and edited my blog. procrastination has taken over today and i'm not sure when my productiveness will start.

today (if all goes as planned): i would like to get a good chunk of my paper done, do my sustainable design readings, and go to sportcheck to take a look at some windbreakers. i've been trying to get more into running, and i've been layering up with a t-shirt, sweater, and windbreaker but my old northface one isn't doing the trick anymore. its been six years since i bought this one, and i've gotten taller, so its waaaay too short. but, like i said.. we'll see how my day works out, because i'm not feeling very enthusiastic about doing anything today!

anyways, a cup of tea is in order.. then maybe some reading? leisure reading or school reading? which will it be...
hope productiveness is in the cards for you!

today: set the fire to the third bar - snow patrol

shadows.

today i started off the morning with Regis and Kelly! i love watching talk shows, but i don't have the opportunity to very often because i'm usually up and at school before 8. my last post was over a week ago, and i've been fairly busy with school since then. i've been swirling around in a whirlwind of readings, assignments, papers, and projects and most of my time has been spent at school doing work. i am learning to use this new program for my drafting class (3d-s MAX Design) and its been fun but gruelling! its hard trying to wrap your head around new programs, because i've been so accustomed to AutoCAD.

anyways, i have spent the last two days at school from 7:3o til 6, and i am thrilled that i have the next two days off! i'm exasperated! today i want to finish my MAX Design project, and my module readings for my specifications class, and then tomorrow i want to finish my research for my paper, and get going on finishing the darn thing! (hopefully that goes well)

i cant wait for the weekend! i'm going to have a visit with my grandparents, and make some plans with them for Chinese New Years! all of us want to do another cooking marathon, so that will be fun! i love getting together with my aunts, uncles, and cousins! love them :) oh! and dear john is out this weekend! cant wait to see it <3

its snowing here, so i'm off to make some tea..

today: fade into you - mazzy starr

gotcha!

just ordered two olympic garibaldi glasses that i have been trying to get a hold of since october! i've been going back and forth between the vancouver 2010 website, and ebay trying to get a hold of these glasses because they were selling them at petro-canada gas stations, but they were all sold out in like three days! i'm not to sure why exactly i want them, i just like them, so i'm getting them.

6-8 business days until they come!!
hope everyone is as happy as me that its friday! tgif!
:)

missing the summer..

what's in your backpack?

i've been up since 7, and i am SUPER pleased on how productive i've been this morning! i don't have class today, so i've been taking the morning to catch up on my bills, homework/readings, and to keep true to one of my new years resolutions, exercise 4 times a week by going for a run this morning. it was friggen COLD! for the rest of the day, i have to finish my passport renewal forms, and finish my university applications. i'm going for try number two this time.. but now i have a plan. i didn't get in last year because i was missing my physics 12 class, SO.. i have applied to take that course in may/june to get that out of the way. stupid requirements.. you would think that they would be okay with me not having physics 12 because i've done 3 years of calculus and physics classes because thats how all architectural classes are based, but nope.. guess not.

anyways, other than the many forms i have to fill out, i have some cleaning to catch up on.. my bathroom needs to be "vimed", and then i'm trying out a new recipe for dinner! yet again as another one of my new years resolutions, eating healthier. my goal is to try and cut out bad carbs. they are my weakness because well carbs are so delish.. and i already eat only whole grain pasta, and whole wheat bread, (i wont eat white pasta or bread anymore) but potatoes and white rice are my weakness. i grew up eating white steamed rice, so its hard to curb the habit, but i will! i wish i got my mom's great metabolism jeans.. shes wonderfully thin haha.

oh, and as a side note: alex and i had a movie date last night and saw up in the air. it was really good! and george clooney is great to look at! haha

i have to quickly pop over to my aunts house, so i best be off!
hope everyone is having a productive day! (if you are wanting to be productive)

today: carry out - timberland feat. justin timberlake (alex's suggestion)

wishing dust.

i just came home a little while ago from lunch with the girlies, and i am blogging because they were just saying that i do not blog enough! so HERE I AM! blogging about my time with them!

anyways, it was really nice seeing everyone! mindy, mecoh, steph, taylor, nicole and i all got together for lunch at hot shots to visit and catch up! its been awesome being home visiting with everyone that i haven't seen in ages. i don't think i've seen mindy since graduation! and shes married and expecting a baby!! its hard to believe where everybody is now, and what they are up to!

for the rest of the day, i have some errands to run around town, and then dinner down at my parents. my sister and her husband leave tomorrow, so my faj is making a dinner of their favorite things!

well, my maj just got a new yoga workout video and i think i'm going to go test it out!
hope everyone is enjoying their saturday!

hello 2010!

happy new year everyone! its 2010, and everything has been good thus far!
xx

in other words.

sitting at home, and i just finished organizing everything (and i mean everything).. today i was a busy bee running around town doing errands and then i had a visit with alex in the afternoon before he headed to work. its so weird.. him and i have barely seen each other since we've been home, and we are only 5 minutes away.. and in toronto we are hours away from each other, but see one another way more often.

anyways, tonight i am just hanging out at home and being a hermit. i haven't been reading much since i've been home, so i may cozy up with a blanket and some tea and read my little heart out.

i'm tired of writing for now, and i don't have anything interesting to report...
hope you are having a good night!
