My feet hurt, my shoes are leaky and I have a bunch of homework to be done. But that doesn't stop me from skating!

It was the last day of skating at Thunderbird. They are going to demolish it soon to make the new centre for the 2010 Olympic games. It's sad since I've only started stating there like 3 weeks ago. I went with Winnie today. We were singing songs and admiring the people who could do jumps and turns. Then after we wrote on the wall where some other people wrote goodbye messages. Making their mark before the building is torn down I guess. Heehee a little boy thought we were vandalizing the wall. Little does he know that it doesn't matter anymore. Bauer Rink will be gone soon.

Now where will I go now? Hmm maybe I should start swimming.

After I wanted to go to Petcetera. Just to browse around, I guess. I wasn't planning to buy anything. I cohersed Winnie to come along with me. Heehee. I checked out the fish I wanted. But the Rupert Petcetera didn't have any plants for sale. Well, a few but those were like the left overs!

They had a tank of mice though! Aww! They were so cute! Such small little darlings with big ears. I wanted a brown and white one. Ah but I have George and Lenny already. And Ma forbids I bring any more home.

I'll stick with fish. At least she can't complain about invisible non-existant fleas. ;P

OMG Angels and Demons (by Dan Brown) is SOOO GOOD. It's even better than Da Vinci Code! They should me a movie of that this instead! I guess if they did it WOULD be an R-rated movie. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it. But omg Dan Brown really knows how to write! I never saw it coming! Talk about plot twists! I thought I had it all figured out! And I said "It's the always the person you least suspect". I didn't even know. I wasn't even close! OMG. READ IT.

I went skating on Monday at Thunderbird. I never realized the centre is so big! So many hockey rinks. That's where the hockey stuff is going to be played during the Olympics in 2010 I think. But yeah! It's very big! Not a lot of people were there skating either so it was very nice. A lot of leg room. There were I think 2 figure skating capable people there too! They were doing all sorts of pretty spins. So cool. Karen's friend said that there is a guy that comes in some of the time who does jumps!

I got my math 221 midterm back today and I got such a low mark! I didn't fail that's good news and I did better than on the first midterm but argh! I studied so hard for it and all I have to show for it is this low low mark. >:(

I'm so sleepy and hungry right now.

Ooo it's so cold! It's been raining and snowing all day. My socks and shoes got all wet. I really need new shoes. They are leaky.

I was giving out movie tickets to a premier tonight and I managed to give one to a friend and the other to a guy that sat next to me on the bus. He was very happy. Said it couldn't have come at a better time since he has nothing to do tonight and he owes someone a movie but he's short on cash. :)

I feel really good. I made someone's day happier and that makes me feel very good.

He was cute btw. ;D

OMGosh I love Lady and the Tramp! I got the DVD today and watched it too. Lady is so sweet! The last time I watched it was so long ago and now I actually understand what they are saying! :D

I spent the day playing the Sims2 that I borrowed from the library when I should have been doing my lab report. It's pretty fun but my people grow old too fast! And they confiscated my babies! :(

Soon soon. Woohoo. XDDD

So I'm back from the DevelopMental Tour. It was pretty interesting. But they didn't have time to get into depth about anything. BUT they gave us a free textbook! But it's all a scheme to get us to program stuff for Windows so more people will use it. Microsoft is so ingeniuously sneaky. LOL

Oh well back to programming.

AH the Isopets website is not working! NOOO I need my regular dose of Isopets!...even though the site's not up yet. ;_; I want to talk to people!

Haven't been drawing much. I've been so busy. I managed to finish my math homework ahead of time though. So proud of myself. Heheh.

Tomorrow I'm going to some Microsoft Develop Mental workshop or something like that. I'm pretty psyched about it.

I should update more often.

I went skating on Friday with Karen and Winnie and them. It was time to test out my new skates! I considered not going and I probably shouldn't have given that I probably did pooring on my biochem midterm today. But it was fun and I would have proably regretted not going.

When I first stepped on the ice it was so slippery! I didn't remember it being so slippery. I had to use some cones and move along the sideboards. But that gave me a chance to relearn how to stop. XDDD It was ok after when the ice was more "used" more friction I guess. Hahah I tried to do some spins but I'd always fall or lose my balance. I bruised my knee but that's ok. I like bruises.

Heehee it was funny because I ended up marrying Michelle (she proposed) and then divorcing her and then running off with the lawyer (Vicki). I wanted Michelle's mittens when she wouldn't give them to me I declared I was pregnant and turns out she's a GIRL! Oh the scandal! Hehehe it was just like a soap opera. And it probably has been done before. Ah but I wouldn't know. I don't watch soaps.

Oh I feel so blah today for some reason. Maybe it's the impending doom of going back to school tomorrow. Sigh. I won't be able to sleep in any more. My beauty sleep! I need it! ;-;

Sigh. I have a math midterm on wed and biochem on next monday but I'm so not ready for either. Then the second round of midterms is about to begin. When will it all end?!

And the microbi lab I have to read is so long.

I want to get some guppies that's what I want. Lots and lots of guppies.

I really like this photo of George. She's so photogenic! 

 

Yaay! Jeff Buttle won bronze! WOOO! And of course Plushenko won Gold. I love them both. XDD

Go here it is the most catchy tune ever and the animation is pretty cool too.

My dad's crazy. He planted a tree in front of our house. Right in the middle of nowhere. And it's a very tall stick thin tree too. Sort of like a lightning pole. It's so ugly and embarrassing! >:(

Anyhoo. I wasted another day today. I went to the aquarium in the morning with Karen. They are nothing there now! The lionfish are gone and the frogs are blocked off because of the renovations. But I took some pics while I was there. With the Flower of Delirium! It is another project I'm starting something like Monkey Monkey I guess. People think we're crazy now. Taking pictures with a flower.

We also went to the post office and we bought a lot of day of issue envelopes. They are so pretty but so expensive! Haha but Karen said consider it an investment.

Later on we ate lunch at the Cactus Club. I had some pasta and Karen had a Teriyaki chicken rice bowl. I'm so full. It was a 3:00 lunch! Oy. And we had Calamari too. Mmm it was so good.

Yay! We bought "free" ice skates from Canadian Tire today! I finally have my own skates again. I can't to try them out. Apparently mine are Piruoette! I didn't know. Now I'll have to learn how to do some turns on my toes. XDDD

Ok here's a better pic of Sibylla. I drew it on the bus. I seem to draw a lot of things on the bus.










I did a Valintine picture of salukis too. On the bus. Coloured it yesterday. I'm thinking to entering it into a contest at DA.

Eee so it's reading break! An entire week off...to study. Yep I've got so much to do. Math and biochemistry to study for. I've failed both compsci and matrix algebra midterms so I must do waaay better on the next ones. Bleh I hate math.

Sibylla is a pretty name. Pink why pink? Dunno.

I was being dramatic. I'm better now. XD

Ma gave me the "doctor" talk again. She wants me to be a doctor so badly. She always insists that she believes that I can do it. But I KNOW I won't make it. I barely got over the whole micb co-op thing. If I can't get into that I won't be able to get into med. I would be just setting myself up for a big let down.

My grades aren't high enough anymore either. I've sort of lost all motivation for school. It isn't just a sudden thing. I've noticed this since high school. I'd slack off but I still did moderately well so I let myself slide some more.

Maybe it's because I don't have any optimistic views of the future. I just want a job where I'm told what to do. I don't care if it's monotonous. I just don't care. Why am I taking microbiology? I can't see myself ever working in a lab. Especially not as a career. How about computer science? I'm kidding myself. Sure I like it. But I'm not good at math. And I'm definately not a very good programmer. Still I plunge forward. Dragging more likely and I'm digging my heels in too.

See this type of attitude is not what a real doctor should be. There are more deserving people than me and the interviewers would know it. I can't even communicate very effectively. I stutter when asked a question. I take forever to think of a decent answer to simple questions about MY OWN experience. My mind is all muddled and I don't know what to do about it.

I know I'm letting my mom and my grandpa down. It tears me up inside. Days like these I want to just lay down, rest and never get up again.

Ha I've been drawing like crazy for Isopets these past few days. Don't know why. Maybe they are close to opening?! I am so excited to see how the site is. There are such talented artists working for it and I'm happy to be a part of that! My items are crap though. I like doing shopkeepers, at least I can do them semi well.

Well I should start studying for the MICB323 midterm. At least read over the labs. After this midterm I won't have any more until after the reading break. Hopefully I will be able to contribute a lot more to Iso.

Woo! I hope they open soon!

OMGosh I failed my midterms AGAIN! Sob sob. Must study harder.

Anyhoo. Canucks won! In your face Calgary! Woo! I don't know why but I always love watching the Canucks beat the Flames. Moreso than other teams. Heheh.

I want it. Creative Zen Vision:M! Must have it...
The first real iPod killer?
