100th post!

According to my post counter, this is number 100! That's crazy to me. Do I really talk that much?

I finished my last bio class this morning, and perhaps my last class at TRU. My exam is next Thursday, and then I'm done done done! Lots of studying to do in the meantime. I want to vomit every time I look at my list of things to study. It's long.

Yesterday I got a letter from OC saying I had completed step 1 of the application process (the acedemic requirements). Step 2 involves proof of first aid (which I do next weekend), and getting my doctor to fill out a form about my health. That's all due on the 18th of this month, and then I guess I'll hear if I'm being accepted into the program.

Tonight work, tomorrow work, tomorrow night Christmas party, then study study study til Thursday. Then I'm freeeeeeeeeeeee!

Party Time

Well the snow has finally fallen, and it looks like it's going to stick. We had a major dump last Friday and it has been freezing cold ever since. It looks beautiful outside, because the sky is blue and the sun is shining. However, the frost on the inside of the door tells the real tale! To get the dog out the sliding door takes herculean strength!

Yesterday came and went without any fanfare. I thought I'd be in rough shape but instead I killed time watching movies, before going to my Christmas party. Either I've come to terms with it all, or I'm in extreme denial. I really couldn't tell you! J comes home today. I know I'll probably never hear from him again, but it doesn't keep me from checking my phone every 10 minutes like a crazy person. I feel so conflicted. I know I'm not going to bother calling him because it's not worth my time, but if I don't hear from him I'm going to be pretty bummed out. I honestly don't know how other people understand me. I baffle myself most days! I guess it's true, that girls really don't know what they want. Ever. And in the unlikely case that we were to ever figure it out, I'd count on it changing within 24 hours.

Anyways, for our party we went bowling and then hit up BP. I walked out of the party with gargantuan sunglasses and a whoopee cushion courtesy of my Secret Santa. It provided 5 minutes of entertainment but now I'm stuck with some crap I don't know what to do with. I got somebody a gift card for Timmys (which by the way I got a free hot chocolate when I went in to get it! Score!), which they can actually USE! Oh well. The night was overall pretty fun. Some of my favourite people didn't show up, but most of them were there so I can't complain!

At the end I got a stocking filled with stuff from my bosses. I loved what they wrote in my card. "You're an amazing addition to the team. Are we able to purchase more of you at Wa.lmart?" You wish! In my stocking there were a couple of gift certificates, a bunch of chocolate, and a pair of black socks. I laughed at that. I got the obvious hint, but I'm sure most people won't understand. I do work with some very special people, in that regard.

New camera, new year

Yesterday I went out and bought myself a new camera.

I found out this morning that my parents were planning on getting me one for Christmas. Oops. I guess that's why you're not supposed to buy yourself things before the holidays. I feel bad, but I needed to do a little shopping therapy. And I really love my new camera! :)

I have heard of a couple of people doing a 365 picture project. I was thinking of starting one in January and take one picture each day of 2009. I think it would be cool to see a whole year of my life in pictures. And since it's so close to a new year I thought I would start it then. So much can happen in a year. It'll be fun to see it!

Speaking of things that can happen in one year...
I found out my work Christmas party is on the 15th. That's the exact day my Christmas party was on last year. AKA the day I met J. It really bums me out, but I'm determined to have fun that night and not dwell on the coulda-woulda-beens. Well, try not too. The people I work with are great and should help keep my mind off of it.

I'm off to drag out the Christmas decorations, and bust out my chocolate Christmas countdown. Too bad the chocolates are teeny tiny. I could use some serious chocolate therapy now that I've exhausted my bank account on top of everything else!
