Lights Will Guide You Home
As for the rest of winter break, I've been working on a logo which is frustrating and something I think I'm going to put down for a while until I have a substantial idea & amount of time. I've also been watching episodes of Glee from the most recent season! Hello? Most fun show ever?! Other than that, I've gone to prowl Daiso with Wilson, been less crafty than I had planned to be, and spent copious amounts of time on the computer editting pictures, blogging, and catching up on all the things I couldn't do when I had school. For the rest of winter break, I'm still hoping to go ice skating, finish Glee, and hang out with my friends more (sleepover!).
I also got the last of my grades in from last term. Surprisingly, I didn't fail anything! The only mark I'm actually proud of is my A- in General Biology 102 because that's the only class that wasn't scaled at all so I know for a fact that I got that mark all on my own! It's not much, but looking at how I've done in all my other courses, I think it's quite the accomplishment! Biology can never let me down!

Sleigh Ride
Oh Christmas day, I went over to Wilson's to exchange gifts, make perogies for his family dinner, and then went to dinner at his grandma's house. The Sweetest gave me the bunny mittens I saw at the SFU bookstore, headphones for next door's "problem", and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince DVD! THANK YOU!! I love them! The dinner was great! We got to hang out with his cousins for most of the time. His cousin Brian was hilarious!

Perogies & Sour Cream
Some of them decided to watch Awake and seeing as how I'm chickenshit, I booked it out of Mary's room when they finally figured out how to play the DVD. All the wusses went to the living room and played Clue! It took us forever to figure out how to play the game and when we did, I ended up screwing the game up because I forgot I had the knife card so that led everyone into thinking that was the weapon because I never showed it to anyone. Teehee. This is why I don't like board games.
Huzzah, cool socks!
Awoo took thisa one and some of the others!
Lovelove. ♥

My first term at SFU was probably the most disappointing event of my life. Besides my great Biology class, I felt like I was just cramming more and more information into my head that was already maxed out. Physics was the worst one. I understood nothing and I'm 99% sure I failed it unless some kind of ridiculously massive scaling happens. The prof didn't teach you anything you actually needed to know, the homework was irrelevant and unfair, the textbook was useless, and the TA could hardly speak English. School was just this neverending cycle of consuming information (or I should say, being consumed by information) that couldn't be processed and couldn't fit. And if it didn't fit, well, then you better fucking make it fit otherwise you're fucked and no one can help you on that one. It was sick. I hate the feeling of working just for the sake of having something down on paper to hand in and leaving the fate of your grade to luck & a lot of scaling no matter how much you think you know your stuff. It really made me sick - just disgusted at the system universities function on. I had superiorly better teachers & better organized curricula in high school, free education, than here. I've come to realize that I was not made for higher education at all.
As if learning itself wasn't enough, I also had a little accident in November that involved Chemistry, a bench, loss of consciousness, and some teeth. I should probably spare you the details but at least now I have a great icebreaker story. "HEY, did I tell you about the time I broke my face?!"
I also joined several clubs at the beginning of the year including Ballroom Club which I quickly booked it out of once school started giving me a mindfucking and when I couldn't stand this annoying new acquaintance in the club anymore. Donald & I met Jonathan & Michelle in our Biology lab and I definitely owe it to them for making the labs and lecture and studying not so much of a pain in the ass. We had lots of fun times and priceless funny moments. Thanks guys! We are all unfortunately off in very different directions next term so I'll miss our ridiculous antics very soon!
Here is my tentative schedule for next term:
Now that school is over for a few weeks, I finally have the time to do all the things I haven't been able to do! I'm super excited for this break and I really just want to take it slow and do all the things I actually love. Here are some of the more pressing things I'm hoping to accomplish this break:
And of course, see Willie & all my friends!!!

Siamese Twins
After dinner, we ditched the guys and went to Megan's house and played Wii (for my first time!) and watched gross (& interesting) documentaries. That's the life.

Little Secrets
After dinner, we went to Anita's house which was just another photo opportunity and a chance to watch everyone's drunk personality come out. Let me remind you that there are the happy drunks, the angry drunks, the funny drunks, the annoying drunks, and the knocked out drunks. Willie & I left when the first person of the night threw up haha.
Let me explain this photo above. Anita was taking a shot called the Blowjob that you take... well, like that.
If Andrew was in the middle, they'd be LAG, lol.
Hijacked these ones from Wilson :)

Swimming Towards Dreams
We then finally made our trip to the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre! Unfortunately, we ended up getting there an hour before they closed so we only had to time to watch this show in the planetarium that dragged on and on so we booked it outta the theatre with like 15 minutes left before closing and went to see what else there was to play with. So.. I was majorly disappointed. The "rest" of the planetarium was pretty much this room the size of classroom with a few artifacts behind glass and some computer simulators that didn't work. I've been to the space centre once before and I remember it being a lot more exciting than this. Although that might have been due to the fact that I was maybe seven and the only part I remember was how cool it was listening to the big electronic voice speak out of nowhere in the theatre.
The spinny thing on the right was about as exciting as it got.
After that, we braved a gloomy & rainy walk through Granville Island and then went to Moxie's for dinner. We also have a habit of getting really excited over goodlooking restaurant washrooms. The one at Moxie's was reaaaally nice, but I still think the Yaletown Cactus Club one takes the cake.
