keep on dancing til the world ends
my first final exam of second year is tomorrow. as i'm writing this, i can hardly believe that the year is already over. compared to last year, there's been far less drama. i've improved my grades, gotten into a steady relationship, started going to the gym, kept a pretty close group of friends, and had tons and tons of sleep.
UWO's brought me some crazy, hectic times this year, even though i wasn't really involved in much, other than "dragonboat" heh. we've had triple snow days, white & purple craze, the opening of booster juice and the grocery store in UCC. i also worked my way through the infamous business 2257 feasibility study - known (barely) affectionately as "feas". that definitely brought on about 6 emotional breakdowns in the span of 3 weeks.
although i'll be sad to leave london hall, i can't wait to get home for the summer. i mean, i've gone home quite often this year, mostly to spend time with silly, but there are times when i feel like the university 'me' is living in a sort of dream, just going through the motions. i never truly feel like myself until i'm at home with my loved ones.
then again, LH has created memories that i know i won't ever forget. from the very first day of moving in, drinking up in 529 and playing mahjong, the day our 'crew' was born. then came ignition & M's fight, FCHL, HGC, scary movie nights with T & R, halloween, my surprisingly yummy fried rice, study sessions in the meeting rooms, tabloganning during the triple snow day, 12 am birthday visits, the front desk lady recognizing me from the sheer amount of packages that i pick up, paranormal activity 2 & swiss chalet, east side mario's and crabby's with the bros, a full year of T sleeping in the seat next to me during sex psych, awkward dinners & sweat, guu & jreyez, and T ramming his head in the window while parking. our little LH crew had it's share of drama (still clueless though), and we'll be separated in a few weeks, but these memories have defined my year.
following my train of thought, i realize it's easier for me to become good friends with boys than with girls. ironic, because i went to an all girls' school. somehow, i feel slightly awkward around girl friends and i'm unsure what to say and how to act. but with guys, i can just be my crazy self, and they somehow accept me as a 'bro' or even weirder 'sistren' (which doesn't make sense grammatically). i guess it's even easier when they know i have a boywholovesmewhomiloveverymuch, and that there is no chance that i will fall for them.
finally, i'll end with a list of staple meals that i survived on:
