The week of firsts

First week back.
It's 3rd year now. Scary. But wonderful

All elective courses. So I'm lonely in my classes. But not really. I make friends wherever I go.

First choir rehersal. It was full of pie. I'm looking forward to singing again. It still brings me such joy. 

First day of my new job. I've joined the world of retail. It's a 15 minute commute. I am looking forward to mastering my job. (eventually)

Ran 5k. Half way through training. Tonight run again. Tomorrow run again. Just go often. It's all you can do.

Rover Moot page has been launched. 

I've signed up to write for the school paper, I still have Beavers to organize.

It's going to be an interesting remainder of the year. 

I still have a letter to write.

Neglect. (But not intentional)

It would seem summer and life got ahead of me. 
Let's do some catch up.

My surgery was a success. There were many tears I was frightened but my boyfriend came along and 8 weeks later fully healed. Returning to work I got a lot of "Did you lose weight?" "You look different" comments. My uniform fleece looks too big for me now.

I have scars and am glad with the choice I made. I already feel better and it hasn't even been 3 months yet. 

Watched Foster the People at Deer Lake. They did do the song that everyone knows but I love there sound so much.

Keloha was a blast. I can't wait to go again next year. Copious amounts of sushi, summer heat, swimmin in the lake, and of course I met Dan Mangan again. He was rather impressed with my fan made shirt. I already have tickets for his November show. Row 8. 

Tristan and I went away for a couple days. Nelson Island to be more specific. It's on the Sunshine coast and I refer to it as a beautiful middle of no where. The place means a lot to him and it meant so much to him that I could come and get the time off work. 

On a sadder tone My grandfather Ivo passed away. I will miss him dearly. The funeral was  a nice service and the priest even knew my grandfather on a personal level and got quite worked up when speaking about him. I will not forget and I will treasure the memories. Thank you to all my friends and family who have been there for me during this time. 

I went to another metal show this year. Iron maiden. It was on the Floor and it was all sorts of epic. I enjoy my Canadian tour shirt with a Moose on it. 

Florence + The Machine was wonderful. I am now a red head because of her. 3 shades to be specific. I still love my black hair but it's time for a change. 

My cousin has moved here. We spent the day at my work and explored the Northshore. I look forward to future hang outs now that she is living in the same city as me. 

I went Bungee Jumping and paragliding for the second time. Been having quite a few adventures this summer. 

The final one being Live at Squamish this weekend. Bard on the Beach next week and Gotye next friday.

Tuition is paid for the fall. I'm looking forward to 3rd year. 

I've signed up for a 10k race. I can run 4k non stop. I hope to be running 10 by the end of September. Here's to setting goals and trying something different.

It's raining out today but I am completely ok with that. 

Here's hoping I can get off the mountain soon. And start things differently come the fall.

All & All it was just bricks in the wall..

Roger Waters was even more amazing then I could have ever imagined. I can't even believe still I got to see it..and the show was over a week ago. 


It was nice to see jackish, parker and chyka. And it's nice to get along . Well at least in person and for now anyways.


I was very happy when I woke up this morning..but now due to stress..I've lost complete appetite. 


Tristan had his birthday. I gave him a watch. he has never owned one prior. Noodle box was consumed.


I managed to rock my midterms , both paper proposals, and am doing super well on my online course. I thought it was going to be the hardest since it's online but nice to see my work ethic since planning 10 has since improved. Summer classes are so much more fun then I thought they would be. 


Saw Idina Menzel with Tamara Smith. It was amazing. 3rd row in the front on the right. We were so close it was just spectacular. 


Tiffany graduated from BCIT. Booyah. I partied with the Rovers and Tristan. Was it weird? Not at all actually. I drank but not too much since my job still manages to steal sleep from me. It's weird how people change and with studying sociology I find myself staring at people and watching there behaviours. 


One week. Wednesday is blood tests and paperwork. Monday it begins. Although I slept well this morning I just stared at the ceiling...trying to clear my head and tell myself it's all going to be fine..but I just don't know that yet. 


All I can hope for is a fast recovery. 


I'm still not excited for summer. All I can think about is surgery and work. And where to go from here?


Least school I have a better idea. Possibly getting a magazine publishing certificate, then finishing bachelors, then getting a diploma at BCIT...hello school till I'm 25? I don't mind. 


It's all going to be worth it in the end.

When the Tigers Broke Free

Oddly enough it's one of my favourite songs from the Wall movie even if it isn't on the original album.


But i digress.


Birthday and Moot were awesome. 60 plus Rovers came out for an amazing weekend. First time camping with boy too. Fires, jello shots of spicyness and good friends were to be had. No rain no injuries. It was great.


Got a 50 mm lens for my birthday. Hopefully I'll purchase a Rapid Strap soon. I also today purchased a Coolpix camera. Something I can take to parties this summer, and as well Kehloa and Live at Squamish . 


Snow Patrol put on amazing show. Boy came along which made it all the more awesome. I've also gained parental trust. Nice to know that now I'm 20 I'm being treated more like an adult. 


Did I mention that ? I'm now 20 years old? It's eerie and wonderful.


I went to the bar friday, got drunk and apparently according to some trucker hats suit me. My mother does not agree but such is life.


I'm content with my life. I'm sitting at an ideal weight and am taking a health and nutrition course online at school. 3 credits plus hopefully a change in my eating habits. Not that there bad but I don't eat enough now...which is never good. 


Surgery is scheduled. Commence freak out. 


Summer classes began today. GPA rose in the spring. It can only get better from here. Profs are funny and energetic it didn't even feel like I had 6 hours of lectures today. Seriously time flew.


Tomorrow sleep, gym , shennanigans with brad, beavers then copious amounts of reading..which I may even do tonight.  


Going to Rock of Ages with mother on Thursday, then Great Lake Swimmers, then Rammstein that is if I can get my shift covered. 


Just one major thing I need to get sorted and this summer should be amazing. 


Polaroid pictures are lovely. Why did film have to become a thing of the past?


The Avengers is amazing. Go see it if you already haven't. 


Now time to read some sociology...society is more interesting that I thought it would be

Charlie Brown

Not just a cartoon character but my favourite track off the new Coldplay album. 


I hated how I missed them when they were here in 2009. I was beyond stoked that I got to see them this year. Not only that . I got VIP seats and although i wasn't on the floor I had an amazing view of the stage. Chris Martin your dance moves combined with piano make my heart melt. 


Surprise visits are the best kind. I can't wait till you move closer. It can only get better from there. 


Photography is a must this summer. Can't wait to do the Tourist challenge and have an excuse to play with Floyd. 


First final written. One to go. Then a week off. Then summer semester. Then who knows? Some plans are set. Others are not. 


Moot is less then a week away. Along with 20th birthday. 


Friends grad show is next week. Must introduce new boy to friends. Most who' have met him like him. This is good. 


Content with weight for now. It's all about perspective. I plan to focus on that more this summer. Being active. Not sitting for too long. Must look at Bikram yoga again. Might do pilates with mother. We shall see. 


I feel like the year is going too fast...where did January go? 


Next show is Snow Patrol with best friend Brad. Very much excited for that. 


This is the beginning of something really special. I'm not just saying that. It's frightening and wonderful. 


Roger Waters is next month. Pardon me whilst I try not to freak out. 


I am going to donate blood. I will get over my fear. After that I'll get another piercing. Makes perfect sense in my mind.

Sweeter then Heaven, Hotter then hell

Florence you are amazing. I would love a voice like hers. Other bands I'm blasting lately would be  Awolnation. 


You were away a week but it felt so long..here's hoping this is the honey moon phase. I don't wish to be that dependent on you. 


Easter dinner was relatively quiet. Everyone likes the boyfriend. Met his parents. That went well. They seem to like me. In fact yesterday was the best monday I've had in awhile. 


Commence last week of classes. The group projects will go well. Again I ask why they do them in University. They simply don't work. I also have one final presentation to give this semester. 


I have to pay Summer Tuition and then make some decisions. 


I'm still terribly scared. But I have to try.


Old habits die hard. 


The long weekend felt extra long. Happy travels to Tess. Best of luck in Alberta. 


Live at Squamish should be amazing. 2 festivals in one summer? Heck yeah. 


Nosebleeds go away. Along with allergy symptoms . I have no use for headaches. 


The Wall is next month. Must start blasting Roger Waters even more then I already do. 


I hope to survive this week. Once classes are over. It's gym study work. till the 27th. 


Go Go Gadget Finals.

The Light is You

Well it's funny how things work out don't they? Here goes everything. I'm scared, nervous ultimately terrified. But the way I feel about you...well that's something I can't hide.


Thanks for an amazing Friday afternoon . 


Hope you're enjoying the south.


I posed for photographs on Friday for Brad's photo project twas fun. After Friday I'm officially done with certain people in my life. I don't need people who only bring me down. Time to focus on the positive.


My stomach hurts from an ab workout this morning which is both good and bad. 


I got a B on my Poli Sci paper. Whoo! Only 2 group projects left then finals, then Coldplay, then Moot, then 20th Birthday, then Snow Patrol. April is going to be very awesome to say the least.


Summer semester should be fun. 3 courses means I'm all that much closer to graduating. Here's hoping by 2014 I will have my fancy piece of paper! 


Driving is tough but I know eventually I'll get there. I have to. I can't be transit bound for the rest of my life. 


I'm nervous for summer but also terribly excited. There is a lot of uncertainty which scares me. Here's hoping the Live at Squamish lineup is amazing that I'll actually want to go to it this year. 


The Joy Formidable is amazing. Thank you best friend for introducing me to wonderful music.


I think we actually are getting a long now..but I won't be holding my breathe any time soon. 


Easter is coming quick. Excited to see baby cousins who are growing up so fast it's scary. 


Time is flying...tis hard to believe I've been alive for almost 2 decades...didn't think I'd get here that's for sure.
