Wait, What?

I think that it actually just sunk in how close the academic year is to ending, I just received an e-mail from Ashley (house president for my non-Crosser friends) giving us all the "end of semester information". Which is basically final dates for house-wide activities. Hard to believe my first year of university is coming to an end! I feel like Welcome Week was about two days ago. Where did all this time go?

If I think it went by fast, I can only imagine how it must feel to the Grads, their journey at St. Thomas University is nearly over. Thankfully, for me this is just the beginning, I still have three years to go.

When I think about all I did this year, it makes me smile. I met so many new friends that I know I'll stay in touch with long after the years here are over. I literally had the best roommate one could ever want while at university. For the most part, I had great classes and Prof's and finalized my future plan to major in History because my Prof made me love the subject even more. Finally, I learned that the best part of a class you hate, is the Prof evaluation at the end of the semester.

So here's to an awesome last few weeks of the 2009-2010 academic year. To all the grads, congrats and good luck in the future :)

It's Official!

After nearly a month of exchanging e-mails and resumes, it is finally 100% official that I am moving to Ottawa this Summer to work for the government in Human Resources and Skills Department of Canada within the New Horizons for Seniors Program.

It took forever to get this finalized because I was waiting for a call, I only left my room once on Friday and then not at all today until about 5 when it was time to eat, and only because I finally got to have my interview.

I am so excited for this opportunity, not only do I get to leave in a beautiful city that I love but I get to live with my Aunt and Uncle, who I never really get to see because it's so far away. I usually see them once a year, and now I get to spend a whole Summer with them.

So that's that. This is all sorted out and in 7 weeks, I will have started my new job, hard to believe that my first year of university is almost over and I'll be in Ottawa for an entire Summer... Time flies, so, so fast.

I've Got Sunshine

Let's hope the rest of the semester is full of sunny days much like this one and no more snow! (Although, snow does not look possible at this point, just sayin') This afternoon I thought of making my annual Summertime Playlist on my iPOD and though I would share 15 of those songs with you.

Dear Friends,

Please watch this video, it was made by hospital staff in Portland to raise awareness to Breast Cancer. It's a fun, cute way of raising awareness and every time so many people view it, money is donated :)

What A Break.

My March Break started off as me rushing through a midterm in order to catch a bus in a crazy snow storm... Should have taken it as a sign as to how uneventful it was going to be.

Saturday

Got my hair cut (finally!) and went to Frenchy's. Honestly all I did... Oh, I watched a documentary for a paper I had to write...

Sunday

Went to church, watched the Gold Medal Hockey Game and a little bit of the closing ceremonies.

Monday

Snow Storm! So much for plans to go to SJ and shop/see a movie. Stuck inside doing homework.

Tuesday

Raced to SJ for a 10am doctor's appointment, had that and was back in Sussex for 12. Went out to supper with the famjam and then went to Patrick's until 11 or so.

Wednesday

Finally did something entertaining :) Went out to lunch with a friend from high school then did loser laps for about an hour. Five minutes after getting home I got a text from Morgan "Coming to get you in 5, be ready". So then I drove around with them for about 2 hours.

We went to a really kick ass play ground in H-Town but it was closed... Who knew playgrounds could close...?

Thursday

So today, the plan was to go to Moncton and see a movie, shop and then eat as East Side Marios... But I am looking outside and I feel that it is NOT going to happen, there is a looot of snow out there.

That is my week until this very moment... Not something to brag about but I think people need to understand how intensely boring Sussex actually is, I feel like people don't believe me sometimes.
