life's being really good to me lately. i'm so grateful.
good thing canadian thanksgiving is on monday.
i have been feeling kind of overwhelmed between school and work, though. i'm trying to get a bunch of stuff done today for school. i should be okay. a lot of the work i have to do isn't so hard, it's just getting started that always trips me up. there's always a couple of times each semester where i think i'm going to fail all of my classes and don't get any sleep and have a mini breakdown. i'm not quite at that point, but even when that happens, i still end up getting all a's. it's just how i work.
i'm in a countdown phase right now. four more shifts of work and days of school and then ben and i will be in toronto for the weekend. very excited. ben booked us into this hotel. super cute. we got city passes to visit lots of places like the cn tower, the toronto zoo, and the royal ontario museum. he's leaving most of the planning up to me which i think is funny. i might know more than he does, but i'm not that familiar with toronto. i'm hoping things don't go terribly awry, but everything has been having this storybook quality to it, so maybe they won't.
so my parents called me today. mom asked what i wanted for my birthday and i said i hadn't really thought about it. she asked if i wanted a ring and i said not really. then she told me that i'd take what i was given and be thankful.
yeah...
also, my dad talked to me about calling my grandmother. if you don't really know about that situation, i don't feel like going into it. but if you do...well, you understand why that's just awkward. made me feel like a bad person which is ridiculous.
arg.
but i did go to target today and who doesn't love that? today's the first alone day i've had in a really long time. i think i needed it.
