oh. my. word.

this week has been/is/will be simply crazy. here's the schedule:

* monday thru to wednesday: intense-o class sched (10a-9p, 10a-12p, 10a-5p)

* thursday: work 10a-3p, went to future shop with dad, got home around 4ish. the plan for tonight is do as much homework as possible, wash and straighten hair, pack for upcoming field trip

* friday: get up super early for my 8am class, go to class 8a-10a. stay on campus to do homework until early afternoon. get in touch with parents and head over to the hotel they are staying in this weekend for the anne graham lotz conference. get ready to go to the resource sales training (for the conference) at the ACC for 4:30pm. complete training, attend evening session of conference, and work one of the many resource sales tables. go back to hotel with parents and sleep.

* saturday: get up early for morning session of the conference at the ACC. stay until the lunchtime break then go grab something to eat. head back to the hotel to pick up bags for field trip. plan to arrive on campus for 1pm when field trip departs.

* saturday - thursday: planning field trip to collingwood.

* friday: back from field trip, and most likely - exhausted.

* friday - monday: thanksgiving long weekend. sleep, eat, homework.

should be a good time though - details to come as soon as permitted.

a few random thoughts...

1. clevage does not belong in the classroom.

2. if you're going to come to class and carry on multiple MSN conversations on your laptop, please don't sit in the front row.

3. i cannot find a place in oakville or toronto that sells a poutine as good as bubba's in kingston. suggestions are welcome.

i saw beyonce.

yo, so tonight i went downtown with the intentions of seeing a film at the festival, but instead ended up heading down to dundas square to see beyonce perform. i was not disappointed - that girl can singggg!! and she's got the mooves too, i was very impressed. dang, she is a good performer. she sang 'deja vu' which made my night, really :) she was on for a solid 45 minutes, and even had a few costume changes. not bad for a free public concert! mind you, it was RAMMED downtown. not until jasmine and i were leaving did we notice how many people were there. relatively, we had great spots. i got a number of good sightings between tall people's heads and people with the big hair. with the exception of the crowd, the pushing, general proximity to others (way too close), the slight shortage of breathable air, it was worth it. walking away from it, i felt satisfied - like i had got my money's worth...except..it was FREE! i was half expecting her to sing one or two songs then leave, but was pleasantly surprised by her set. she mixed it up with a few good destiny's child oldies. all in all, a good night. if only i had a camera to capture the moments...! unfortunately for you reading this, you can't see the pictures stamped in my memory!

the water runs dry....

i fixed the sleepiness problem with a large cup of tea, and a bright reading lamp. now i'm reading about multiculturalism and urban planning while listening to boyz to men....i would give ANYTHING to see them perform live...if only they were still together..*sigh*

tengo mucho cansada...

oh MAN. i am crazy tired.

the slide show seen below is a mini tribute to kingston, queen's and all the good times...

I created a Slide Show! Check it out!

what's up with your amiga? here, let me tell you

i woke up this morning, and the full moon was still shining. it was my first early morning friday. the first of many...so i got to school for 8am (don't ask what time i left home) and the doors to our classroom were locked, so we didn't get in until 8:20. then the prof just read our course outline, and 40 mins later, he stopped talking and sent us on our way. a 5:20am wake up for 40 mins of reading the course outline that i could've done at home? wonderful.

but i'm not complaining. it was actually kind of nice to come home by 10:45 in the morning. i just got back from running a plethora of errands and it's only 1pm. and, may i add, it's a gorgeous day today. they called for rain, but i'm not seein any so far.

what else...i don't seem to be updating this as much as i used to...i suppose as the school year starts and gets more intense, i'll have more to report. for now, i'm just trying to get myself organized and really prepared for this year.

a few things i'd like to have lined up for this year:

* the alpha course at church
* worship team/ sunday school teacher
* volunteering somewhere in oakville
* making friends at the planning department (i've already started..!!)
* working at laura a few hours a week

the list may or may not be revised in accordance with my schedule...but i am hoping to fit everything in :) anywho, i've got a closet and bookshelf in my room screaming for organization and i can't live another day the way it is. and that cues my exit. later folks :)
