Last night I ventured out to Kitchener to attend a friend's New Year's party. While this must not seem significant to most, for me it was a big step forward towards regaining a social life. I had planned on staying home but some gentle nudging from a friend convinced me that it would be more fun to spend the night with others. They were sooo ( Read more... )

Ok so I'm a bit late updating and stuff so I thought I'd rectify that. Pennsic was very enjoyable despite the weather. Those who were there know the tale of my brand new tent that decided to leak horribly with the first rain fall and left my bed soaked. Well I took the darned thing back to CTire and after much attitude and "pleasant" ( Read more... )

Yesterday went pretty much as I had expected...utter chaos...I didn't even get supply T.A.'s, all they could give me were Monitors. Those in the education field will know the difference...sigh...today is a rinse and repeat of yesterday. I'm so glad that it is Friday. I don't think I could make it another day under these circumstances...I hope ( Read more... )

I woke up in a wickedly bad mood! I know that today I have 2 of my 3 T.A's away, a new teacher is in to observe how to run a D.D. class and my students are all up the wall anyways because I have no air con or windows in my room. I know it's all about positive thinking but today I think I left my positive thoughts in bed....sigh...wish me luck!

Today was the first day of what I hope to be a new beginning in my life. I attended Crown Tournament and was greeted by many friends who have sincerely missed me. This was a much needed reminder and reinforcement that it's time to start living again. It was lovely to catch up with friends that I have not seen for nearly 9 months. I had ( Read more... )

I haven't posted for so long but I have not been absent. I have enjoyed reading about other people's lives and their joys and sorrows. I have been lacking in any motivation and have felt myself slipping away and because of this I have not wanted to post. Looking back on my other posts, most of them have been quite depressing and I did not want ( Read more... )

I truly looked in the mirror today and I hate what I have become.

This past weekend I attended my first Yule ever. As it is held in New Jersey it is quite the adventure just to get there. I carpooled with some wonderful people and we had very interesting conversations on the way there and back. It took us nearly 9 hours to get there, but we did stop along the way a couple of times for gas, food and to stretch ( Read more... )

Yesterday I re-installed the webcam onto my parents computer. All went well and I spent the night happily making funny faces at a special person in my life. Today I decided to install the webcam on my computer as they don't use it and it is just silly for it to sit upstairs and me go and buy a new one. Well I'm not sure what the hell went wrong, ( Read more... )
