Ramblings
So exams are finished!!! Yay!!! Last night I came home and cracked a cooler, ate a chocolate bar mostly to myself, and watched a movie with Travis until we fell asleep on the couch.
Feels good to be finished....even though the last exam was definatly not good.
After two hours of trying my very hardest to remember what to do, I felt sufficiently like a failure and handed it in. Woot! I really don't care, well I do of course, but if I have to take it again..well then I have to take it again and next time I'll work harder at it. I'm not going to let Stats bring me down, I haven't had a breakdown in a week *knock on wood* and I'm feeling good.
This morning I watched the other half of the movie that Trav and I started last night and finished it. I wasn't very impressed. One of those movies where they make the trailer look excellent and then they either edit out all of the amusing parts that made you want to watch it in the first place, or in this case they just load so much dull stuff onto the funny parts that you hardly notice them. Mostly I was disappointed because I've come to prefer British movies over American movies because I find the sense of humour to be much more appropriate and fun, and I love the actors/actresses that they always put together...but this was not a good example of British movies...such a shame, Kinky Boots could have been sooooo great. Can we have a re-do?
Oh well.
I've just spent about 3 hours cleaning and I think my head is full of fumes but our apartment looks nice. I washed our new towels from Pen, Em and Sue, and our sheets. While I was cleaning I had one of our patio doors open to let in some fresh air to wash out the fumes...but when I came back into the bedroom, one of the neighborhood cats had let himself in. I call him Tuna because he was the one who drank all of the tuna juice that I left out that one time. He ran out when he saw me but he gave me a bit of a scare.
Now I've named 3 of the neighborhood cats:
Tuna - the beautiful tortuise shell cat who gives you a look that reads as, "Thank you for leaving me tuna juice, I'm quite enjoying it, however if you continue to coo over me eating I shall kill you in your sleep."
Fishstick - the cat who lives upstairs and used to jump up and down onto the hottub on our patio before it got taken away. I call her this because the first night that Travis and I made fish sticks for dinner she stood outside watching us like she was expecting us to share.
And finally, Cap'n - the pretty long haired siamese looking kitty who likes to rub against our patio doors. I call her this because I wanted to stick to the ocean theme....
Tonight is Em's Christmas concert at Reynolds. I'm very excited. First of all, I really like being reminded that there is hope for highschool bands and that Howe Sound is just a very very shoddy example. Secondly, they are just great! Even when Em thinks that they've messed up completely, they sound so amazing to me! And I'm excited for the atmosphere and mood surrounding Christmas carols!! And then afterwards, Jesse, Trav, Pen, Em and I are going to pile into the car and drive around to look at Christmas decorations/lights and count reindeer!! It was so much fun last year, I'm really excited for this year. I'm sure it'll be mostly Pen, Em and I who are shouting out and pointing all over the place, with Trav and Jesse just looking overwhelmed...last year it was Pen, Em, Barry and I and all 4 of us were shouting and pointing in all directions at once..it was very loud and exciting.
I think that I'm going to start reading my anthropology textbook from last year. It was actually an interesting book and I'm hoping to absorb some of it out of sheer interest before I start anthropology 200 in a week or two.
But before I go, I keep thinking about how sad I am that I can't spend more time in Squamish for Christmas. We are only there for 3 days and then in Chilliwack for half a day and back to Victoria. I'm so used to spending so much time in Squamish at Christmas...but when I try and explain it, I say that I'm used to spending so much time at "home" at Christmas and I have to remember that our apartment in Victoria is "home" now. Mostly I just really want to be wherever Travis is during the holidays - hence why I'm coming back to Victoria for the few days between Christmas and New Years even though I probably won't be working and he will be and I could come out to Port Alberni with my parents...but I'm not.
Feels weird, this is my first Christmas not at home - even though I'll be there on the day...but you know what I mean. It'll be even more strange the first time that I don't spend Christmas day at home...
Weird.
