Running the washing machine at 12:23am at your Mum’s house. Maybe not the brightest, but I need clean and dry jeans for tomorrow. I am hoping she went to bed drunk, haha. I am probably going to get it in the morning :S.
Note to self: Never buy a house with the washing machine in the front hall/adjacent to the guest bedroom.
Trapped in car with Mum’s too much cologne boyfriend for 5 hours today. Please send help.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas, and a wonderful holiday season filled with peace and joy.
The best way to spread holiday cheer is singing loud for all to hear. ~ Elf
Home home home home home! Well, my mum’s house anyways now as I feel that I should call it. Feeling very crafty today, so maybe I will get up to some of that. Also craving some sewing projects, so thinking of making a yoga mat bag and hopefully getting some Christmas fabrics on sale to make a tree skirt.

Just a quick post before I board. I PASSED my audit class!!! Not only did I pass, I rocked out a C+!!!! Unheard of. What a nice first grade to get back. Definitely convinced that I owe this instructor a case of beer. Need two A’s and an A- at least to stay on the Dean’s Honour List… this is possible people.
Now for some province swapping…
Home to Ontario tomorrow. It’s bittersweet. One on hand I am excited to see my family, on the other hand I want to spend Christmas with Phil too. Next year will probably be the first year that I stay here (summer euro trip and new job in the fall. Guess this is the year that I have to enjoy it.

Absence of posting lately because our Internet has been out for the last few days. Phil is upstairs trying to fix it while I sit here and type on my phone.
Little victories and big lessons in the past few days:
1) You can do anything you put your mind to. I had accumulated the biggest backlog in work and studying to be done for exams to date in my university career. I got it done, with some...

Read a half a textbook in a day? Yes I can! Write a 2000 word paper in a day including research? Yes I can! Sustain this mental capacity for no sleep beyond tomorrow? No way.

This morning I proceeded to write TWENTY. 20. vingt. pages for my theory exam. One tough exam because I want to be the first ever student to pull off an A+ in the class and I don’t completely feel I answered everything he was looking for. [Yes, that’s right, I probably failed a class yesterday, but I am ace-ing the harder of the two.] Never have I ever written that many pages, legibly...

VICTORY
Victory |ˈvikt(ə)rē| noun:
Reading half an entire course book in a single day. Retaining it. Ready for exam. Even better: it was accounting theory (dry, boring, unentertaining, minor bad accounting jokes). I am awesome… also thanking God that I worked at a library in high school and developed mad reading skillz.
My eyes hurt so bad. This must be what wearing contacts too long feels like.

My internet is SO SLOW. Like dial-up land slow. I am dying. Is it because I live in a university town and all students are facebook/youtube/paperwriting/procrastinating and clogging the tubes? I need answers. It takes too many minutes to load youtube.

I told myself I wouldn’t look.
I wasn’t going to let it wreck my day.
I couldn’t stand it. I checked an hour after getting up this morning.
No grade posted.

I felt good after the run. I…

12:20am, textbook read, assignment complete. bed time for now, and up in 6 hours to memorize notes and highlights.
Edit: Rolypoly sleep last night. Awake multiple times. Just looked at my assignment I wrote last night. Someone remind me how I can spew out 920 words in just over an hour for accounting, but it takes me from 10am - 3pm to do the same thing for my history paper. Wish me luck on the...

Different yoga class than usual tonight - I usually go to Yin on Monday nights, but I had a conflicting engagement. Instead, I went to Yin Yang class. It was to be a short Yang practise and then a longer Yin practise. Yang was a little too hippie for me, but I would try it again. I did like that it was really active though, like a flow of movement instead of strength based poses. When I get back...
Leave it to me to dump a full glass of water off my nightstand all over my iPhone, my pillow, my side of the bed, the wall, and narrowly miss our surge protector bar. Lesson learned. Don’t keep a glass of water on any table in the dark.
Also, Phil is the biggest bed hog after a hard run. Seriously, starfish. So tonight you’ll find me on a teeny patch of bed away from the water and...
