The Peak Performance Project

That's what I went to Thursday. Boy was it amazing. The Matinee has wicked Banjo and Guitar. Current Swell has amazing trombone and slide guitar. And the Boom Boom's really know how to get a crowd going.


I was in the very front at one point and have a couple tshirts from this amazing show. Plus I enjoyed noodle box and tried Cafe Crepe. I love food adventures.


Now for the weekend.


I went to see my friend Melissa's film at BCIT entitled Grad of the Year. I really enjoyed it. Very funny and very well made. I then went shopping with my mum and acquired a dress for my cousin's wedding which is next month. I not only look classy, I look grown up and a little sexy. It's a little black dress but it's perfect. 


Saturday was our bottle drive. In total we raised 1065 dollars . That evening I went curling with my parents. We won 3 games, lost 2 and tied 1. Not bad considering this is my second time playing. I also voted. Because if you don't vote you can't complain. 


Sunday i worked. We are officially open for skiing. Only certain runs though. And as each shift goes on, more and more things go wrong and I go....why am I still here? By this I mean we just finished matienance on the red tram and as I start my shift I get warnings that it's still stalling and I might have to slow down when i dock. Oy..


I also had a good cry yesterday Internet. I'm keeping everything bottled up. Just because I blog about it doesn't mean I feel better. I am extremely jealous of her I hate that she's dating him and I want them to break up. But I keep that to myself. 


I dislike how I feel and how I look but I did go to the Gym on Thursday and am starting Yoga on Thursday. I've always wanted to try it and now  I shall.


I am handing in my magazine story , starting my final one soon, finishing off my paper, finishing my documentary, and giving my last speech tomorrow night.


Then it's finals.


It's crunch time

About as Helpful as You can Be without Being any Help at All

My favourite song off Dan Mangan's new album Oh Fortune. Which by the way the concert was epic. I now  own the cracklings cd and it's signed and the other opening band the Daredevil Christopher Wright was pretty good too. 


Thursday I lounged about and had a quiet day. It was lovely. Friday was Remembrance Day. A day in which we take time to remember those who have fought and died for our country. Since I can recall I have gone to the Cenotaph participated in the parade in my uniform and then had lunch with my Great Uncle Joe who fought in World War 2. 


Next year I'm going to the Legion with him and I'm buying the first round. After lunch I went out flyering for the upcoming bottle drive. It was windy it started hailing it was rather crazy weather. 


That night I went out to the Arkells. and I saw Dan there :) so that was awesome. Saturday was more a lay about day but I did some work. In fact I had the house to myself so it was rather quiet. 


Yesterday I worked and the wind will be the death of me. Nothing is more terrifying then being on that tram when it's windy. Nothing. Even on the blue tram which has better clearance. and according to some of my coworkers we were on standby yesterday evening. A weird way of saying we can't run the tram till the wind calms down. 


I've handed in my photo essay so my week is off to a good start. I have laundry that needs to be done and all sorts of other organizing that needs to happen. and there is less then 3 weeks of classes left so I should probably start cramming for finals next week.


I finish them on the 13th which is superb then I'm off to my cousins wedding. But I still haven't found a dress and I need to do that.


Here's to this week!

So begins the month of facial hair

November has had an interesting start. A bad midterm mark, a good speech, a really bad transit ride.


But ROGER WATERS IS COMING BACK TO VANCOUVER TO PERFORM THE WALL


So it's ok. I am beyond stoked. And I also scored floor tickets to Megadeth . So I'm already stoked for the new year. 


My papers are going well. I did really well at my driving course and spent the afternoon in the states with my Dad. I have Nyan cat shirt , new plugs and rings. Good haul in my opinion.


I have laundry that needs to be done, workouts to plan, and other such things to organize. Next week is DAN MANGAN! <3 plus the Arkells.


Not gonna lie I really wish I wasn't working tomorrow. I'm craving something new...I need to get off that mountain. I need something closer. 


Ontario is going to happen come hell or high water. I've almost decided what classes I want next semester and have an awesome registration date. 


And to all my gentleman friends growing hair this month? Good luck to you all

In our town of Halloween

Same title post for my Word press...I'll try and be more creative. I promise!


But yes Halloween. A holiday to some. Not in my opinion. I think it's pretty hallmark oriented and since it's not socially acceptable for me to go get candy anymore it's not my thing. I went to the Halloween Dances in Highschool, did a couple costume one year but last year...I worked. I know I'm terribly exciting


This year however was my best friends 19th on Halloween weekend so I couldn't not dress up. I really wanted to get out of it but sadly I could not. I originally was going to go as Snow White but the costume sold out. Instead I went as a game of Twister. it was 30 dollars including the tights I had to buy. Good deal in my humble opinion. 


So I went out on Saturday partied hard danced and had lovely time with my friends. It's great now that my girlfriends and I are turning 19 or already are 19 .


Sunday i hung out and chilled and then saw one of my favourite bands live. Jack's Mannequin. Oh my god. What a show. Andrew McMahon I want you. Enough said. In fact my previous blog was titled after there 1st album. I love there lastest album. I have a shirt and I hope I can see them again soon.


Now commences a long week for me. Finishing my history paper, starting my new media literature review, starting my photo essay, prepping for a seminar, beaver campfire, plus a driving course, plus work....oy.


I plan to work all sunday's this month. I need as much in the bank as possible. I need Ontario to happen. In fact Robert and I are texting more and he's excited to see me visit. Teehee.
Jealousy was never my thing and now I'm really jealous of him. But her more so. If I was older things would be different. My life story.

You don't need to hide my friend. For I'm just like you.

Dubstep? Most like it. Most hate depends who you talk to. I enjoy it. It makes for great running music actually.


Last night I met up with Mizz Bruce we got dolled up headed out to Surrey hopped into a limo and partied all the way out to the concert. Mizz Black was in the limo as well. Shots were taken lots of alcohol was consumed. What can I say? I'm done midterms time to party. :)


Speaking of I survived them. I got a B on one, B on a paper, A on my presentation. Can I get a booyah? Maybe I can handle 5 courses. That's surprising. 


Skrillex = Epic. What bass. What sound. Too bad I had to take care of a drunk friend but photos were taken memories were made and I got a shirt as per usual. Limo dropped me off at home and off to bed I went. 


Friday was great but even Wednesday night I went out downtown. Hit up an irish pub and a hipster pub? bar? not sure. Good times were had regardless.


I'm feeling lonely but my heart is still confused and unsure and I'm perfectly content with being by myself till at least 2012.


Here's to another week of school, a Beaver Halloween party, and an epic weekend of clubbing and Jack's Mannequin.

To be Thankful (But to Change)

I am thankful internet. I am thankful for the roof over my head, my parents who give me freedom, a sister who usually loves me as well a job that provides me with income as well my funded education


But things have to change.


I'm not just talking about the fact that I should shed pounds or should stop and enjoy the small things in life. I'm talking about the fact that there are things I wish to accomplish or even plan and it's not happening.


Starting now things will change. I shall use blogging and other various outlets to keep track of these changes. 


It stuns me. It really does. How much changes in a year. or doesn't change. I made the right choice. Even if it does keep me up at night. 


The first being booking my N test and getting my gym membership I MUST get these done this week. 


Now back to reality


I worked all weekend and had a lovely Paterson Thanksgiving. My baby cousins are growing so fast and are so adorable. I'm hoping to see them more before the year is out. And I am getting even MORE excited for my cousins Wedding in December. Should be gt's for sure.


This week is midterm prep, Young the Giant, work and then Apple Day with more studying. If I can survive midterms my reward is Skrillex.


Score.

October

October a month full of turkeys and ghosts. Well not just that but it's a major part of it. October has not had a great start I must say I missed Mardigras this year due to my wonderful education. I had homework and reading that needed to be done and I am happy to report that it's all been taken care of. 


I went on a mini adventure of grocery shopping down to the states with the parents that was fun. Thank you Nexus card you are wonderful. And I got a somewhat decent part time pay check on Friday.


School School School. That's all that's on my mind right now. well that's a lie. But it's a big part of it. The other part is my constant weight issue. I've mentioned it before how I loose weight in ALL the WRONG places. Ie I still lack a ba donk a donk and I have amazing legs now..but sadly I lack the core that will allow me a naval piercing


Sorry i really don't feel like being like the rest of the girls my age who get it and REALLY shouldn't. Not saying there fat..but I have very prominant love handles and middle and it really sucks. 


So what's the plan? Protein internet. I don't get enough of it even though I am vegetarian and eat fish. Hopefully some nutrition changes along with more gym time will add up! I'm hoping by my cousins wedding I will be super fabulous. 


I also intend to cut back how much I'm working since I truly feel I can't handle working so much and going to school. Le sigh such is life and come December i'll be my workaholic self again making tons of dough for my travel plans


Here's to a LONG week filled with a doctor's appointment, the gym, 2 presentations and an essay as well as 8 hours of work. PLUS the long weekend is coming and I'm working during that as well.


Hurrah indeed
