so reading week....

yeah sure they call it reading, but not much of that got done. it should definetly be called skiing week, cuz thats sure what i did.


I met my family in jasper for the first weekend, which was awesome...good food, good skiing (well for the most part - there were a few too many rocks for my liking, but we got new snow on the last day, so that was amazing), what more could a girl ask for...well i suppose a boyfriend would be nice, but i've kinda come to accept that ive been boyfriendless for 18 valentine's days, so whats another year.

the week was spent studying chem, for my terrible midterm yesterday. I also had 3 facials, in an attempt to help my skin. i don't know if it is helping, or the minocycline is doing all the work, but i would say there has been an ever so slight improvement (*touch wood*). I also went to beave on wed, and listened to wind ens. linconshire sounds so good! they have done an amazing job of filling the shoes we left. and bri (if you read this) it was so good to see you again! sorry we didn't get together though b4 i came back here. and what is this i hear about jazz 1 not getting the rose bowl??? details please!

friday i took my brother to fortress, lots of fun! and there was actually powder! it was amazing! (this is why i didn't go to the roadhouse on thurs...i had to kinda be awake to drive for 2 hours!)

Saturday night i went and chilled with the girls at marnies (for her birthday)...good times, and now i want to learn to play acoustic guitar - Marnie is amazing!!!!

and the movies that i have now seen as the result of that week: Mr. Deeds, Divine secrets of the Ya ya sisterhood, Minority report, bend it like Beckham. FINALLY!

I ended up taking greyhound back up here to good ol' edmonchuck, but i felt terrible b/c the guy thought there were 2 seats left, and so me and this girl who was in front of me in line got to go. so i got on the bus b4 her, and grab the 1st seat i see, and then she gets on after saying her good-byes, and goes to find a seat, but they are all taken, b/c the guy though the bus had one more seat than it actually did. but instead of speaking up, and saying that she was in front of me, and could have my seat, i just sat there with my mouth shut, and let her get off and wait. of course the whole bus ride i was like..grrr, shoulda said something, shoulda said something...when i got back to rez i called my mom, to let her know i had a safe trip, and she asks me about the "incident", but of course i play innocent (grrr....why do i always have to do that!!!!!), but then she mentioned that the girl that didn't get to go actually got in the line up after me, and just kinda ended up in front of me, so i don't feel as bad, but still guilty...why why why????? though i suppose there is nothing i can do about it now.

Monday i had my orientation for volunteering at the glenrose hospital (which i was late for, b/c i had class). it sounds like it will be a lot of fun; there is so much they need volunteers for.

and today i am taking the plunge...into hair dye that is, yes thats right, the girl that hasn't ever dyed her hair is getting highlights, professionally done no the less for only 15 bucks, yeah thats right...go hair modelling!!! kinda scared that they won't look good or w/e, but it will be a nice change.
