i had to wait until after my birthday
took my last exam today. goodbye langara. times were good. maybe i'll chicken out and take classical studies with you in september, but far as i know, i'll never have to take the bus for an hour to see you ever again. now i'll be taking a B-Line...and i won't have to worry about whether or not the 3 Main is going to be on time or if i'm going to be late for class...again. now i'll be late because UBC is a small city and i don't have a car and i have no idea where anything is. hopefully my ridiculously intelligent UBC attending friends will give me tours and skip classes with me so that i can weep great tears on their shoulders. oh dear.
in other news...umm...here's a picture. because posts with pictures are better than posts without pictures. maybe soon i'll have birthday pictures...but i dunno when...so...this isn't a picture of anything important.
kissing and snowmen!!! my favorite things!!!!!

"To everything

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep "
-stacey
"Wait 'til I get you home
Wait 'til I get you alone
Wait 'til I get my hands on you
Wait 'til I get you home sweet baby"
