Hey everyone! I know it has been forever since I last blogged, and I promise it isn’t entirely without reason. Between school and spending as much time as possible with Daniel before he moved, I haven’t had much time for my site, but that’s going to be changing now that he’s in Vancouver and I’m actually home sometimes. I’ve spent the last four weekends away from home, and it’s safe to say that I’m ready for a few that are much less busy.

In other news, my birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and I really have no idea what to ask for. I’m sure my Dad is going to start getting on my case about it, but I really have no idea. I’m debating waiting until the move and asking for money towards new furniture or a new TV or something. But he always gives me a hard time about my practical gifts. There’s just really nothing else that I think I really.. need? What do you guys ask for for birthdays, Christmas, etc.? Do you think practical gifts are boring?

So Daniel and I went “apartment hunting” (it was more like suite hunting, but that just sounds stupid) in Vancouver, and both managed to find places. Him for March 1st, me for April 15th. I put my deposit down on the suite I blogged about earlier, it was just too cute.

It has a huge open kitchen, huge bathroom, and cozy living room and bedroom. The kitchen has more cabinet space than I know what to do with, and a really awesome (and new) fridge. The bathroom was originally designed to be a second bedroom, but after deciding the space remaining for a bathroom was too small, the entire room was converted into the bathroom. So there is a tonnnn of extra, open space in there that I’m still not sure what to do with.

The bedroom and living room are both quite a bit smaller than in my current suite, but I’m excited about it because my furniture will fill out the space much better. And I really don’t have any “stuff”, so less space really isn’t an issue. Also, the suite is right close to everything I could possibly need. My grocery store, my bank, my favorite restaurant, my favorite dollar store, COSTCO, a walk in clinic, and a vet clinic are all within walking distance. The location really couldn’t be any better. Now it’s just a matter of finishing the semester and patiently waiting until after finals so I can move!

Also, we met up with my older sister and her fiance for lunch at this cute little biker cafe. Her fiance totally impressed me and there’s no doubt that he’s the one for Tammy. She had been engaged previously, and her ex-fiance was seriously not even half as cool. I’m looking forward to Daniel and I both being in Vancouver and going out with them more often.

I’m just home for a couple of days so I could finish up a group project, spend some time with Goliath, and clean up my house a little, and then I’m off again. This reading break hasn’t exactly given me much time to relax, but it’s enjoyable none-the-less. Hope you’re all doing well, and I’ll try and blog again soon.

I hate not being able to exercise like I could before I had my accident. My foot is still giving me a lot of grief, so my elliptical has sat unused for an unfortunate amount of time. Perhaps I should consider lipofuze diet pills.

lipofuze helps dieters lose weight through its revolutionary six ingredients. Not only does lipofuze assist in weight loss, but in muscle retention through exercise as well. lipofuze diet pills have shown to have amazing results! In fact, some individuals have reported taking a decreased dosage due to losing more than one pound per day.

Not only are these diet pills extremely successful in weight loss, they are also very affordable, ringing in at only $29.99. If you are looking for a diet pill that is committed to quality, and that maintains an incredible formula without false promises, hazardous ingredients, and false advertising, you should consider lipofuze, you will not be disappointed.

Hey everyone. My healing is taking longer than expected, so I’ve been taking things really easy. All of my exams have been rescheduled for after reading break (which I am trying not to think about too much so I can enjoy my break at least a little bit). I’m honestly just looking forward to getting back into the swing of things, being completely out of commission for more than a week is growing tiring very quickly.

In other news, plans for moving are progressing, and I’m pretty optimistic about it. I have viewings at two places this weekend, so Daniel and I will be making a trip to Vancouver for Valentine’s. I’m not sure how many places he’s looking at (we’re both moving to Vancouver, but getting our own places, at least initially), but he says he has got a few. I scored us a hotel for $100 for 2 nights including taxes, so hopefully we’ll get some delivery from somewhere and have a nice evening at the hotel.

I’ve really got my fingers crossed for one of the two places, the landlord seems to be extremely friendly, and definitely interested in the possibility of having Goliath and I as tenants. He’s even willing to hold the suite until April 15th (I won’t be done exams until around the 20th, then I’ll have just enough time to move before flying away to Europe for May) if everything goes as planned.

Soo, yesterday I took a bit of a fall at school. And by a bit of a fall, I mean I royally ate the pavement, busted up my face, and essentially sprained the entire right side of my body. And this fall just so happened to take place in the middle of the most populated area of campus, right between classes when everyone was milling about. Not to mention the fact that my ex was standing right there, saw the whole thing happen, and walked off. Talk about embarrassing. I’m really just happy that I didn’t break any teeth, because then I would have really been devastated. Got a pretty vicious concussion and I’m out of school for the week, and I’m getting reevaluated to see if I should be going back next week on Monday.

I’ve only been sitting at home for a day and I’m already bored out of my skull. I was told not to exert myself at all, and I’m trying to obey doctor’s orders. It’d be awesome if I was able to read, because I haven’t been able to read for enjoyment purposes in a couple of months, but doc said especially no serious brain activity. I’m thinking tomorrow will be movies and popcorn.

Also, I swear, cats know when their human is hurting. Goliath literally hasn’t left my side with the exception of eating and using his litter box, then he’s right back on the bed again. Living alone kind of sucks when you can’t do anything, but at least I have his company.

Anyway, just thought I’d post about my little mishap. Has anyone else ever had a fall that went very, very wrong? Post about it! Make me feel a little less humiliated.

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of your kind words on my last post. Things have certainly improved, and I’m much more open minded to potential life changes in the future. Apparently a month of medication has done me at least some good.

I’ve made an appointment with my academic adviser regarding the possibility of enrolling as an online student for my senior year, so I’m hoping to be decided on that one way or the other by the end of the week. Taking courses online would provide me with much more flexibility in terms of being able to work while in school, as well as not being so grounded to this city. I’ve always been a little scared of change, but maybe it’s time for me.

Have any of you ever made a decision in favor of a drastic change? Uprooting your life and moving somewhere new? Dropping out of school? Changing schools? Something else entirely? Do you still feel it was the right decision?

I just wanted to make a quick post and let everyone know that I am alive, I’ve just hit a bit of a bump in the road that needs to get sorted out. I’m not one to wave my dirty laundry around for everyone to see, so I’m not going to share the details of said bump with the masses. I’m just doing my best to resolve it as quickly, and as best as I can. I hope you’re all doing well, and I’ll post a real update once I have my life figured out again.

So yesterday I checked an ancient e-mail account to find an e-mail from my older sister, whom I haven’t exactly been great at keeping in touch with over the last couple of years. It was a mass e-mail, much like you would send out at Christmas time when you don’t have the time to send out personalized messages. In the e-mail, she announced that she is getting married in July. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled that my sister has found her “one” and is getting married, but I was sad to receive such news from a mass e-mail.

I quickly sent her a text message to forward my delayed congratulations, and we decided that since we’re both Crackberry addicts now, we really have no excuse for not keeping in contact. We’ve been texting back and forth since, and I’m hoping to be able to pay her a visit during my reading break in February, perhaps I can convince Daniel to make a weekend trip of it with me.

Have any of you ever got out of touch with an immediate family member? Did you feel guilty? Who made the first contact for getting back in touch again? Where do you stand with that person now?

So my poor blog has been rather neglected as of the late due to a rather daunting paper I had to finish, which is history as of about 1:30 this afternoon. Lady GaGa literally filled my head as I slipped it under my professor’s door. I thought about engaging in my very own iPod commercial, but opted to dance on the inside instead, I’m sure you all know how it is.

Tomorrow, or I guess later today, is Saturday, which means Daniel will be here in about 12 hours. We’re likely going to play some Wii, make homemade pizzas for dinner, and we’re thinking about going dancing with my girlfriends in the evening. Daniel has never been to a nightclub before, so I’m a little hesitant. I mean, I know I will have a good time, but I’d hate for him to feel any bit out of place. But we’ll see. I’d really love to go since I haven’t been dancing since before we got together, so like… nine months now? That’s a long time. But I’m a suck for peer pressure, so if I’m outnumbered, we’ll probably end up going along.

What are your plans for the weekend? Doing anything exciting?

Oh, I also bought MORE pants today, and super cute pyjamas (that can be found over on my 365). I don’t know what’s with me and shopping lately, hopefully it stops soon…
