Toasts with Tequila

So hi, it's been a while. Apparently some people actually read this possibly regularly or maybe not but either way I'm sorry I have been missing for a while.

Life's been a blur for the last little bit, so much so I can't even remember the last time I blogged so lets just get some bare bones of a structure of my life since February break.

It was pretty bland. I stopped doing readings for a while because I couldn't be bothered. One of my friends never came back to class and I was really sad and lonely for a while. The buses came back at some point and I was really happy about that. We had a spree of weather that was past summer and not as much rain as I would have liked. I never got to hang out with Laura because our schedules are constantly conflicting. I went to see a movie with my best friends Erin and Jaclyn but I never got around to seeing one with Stephen. I found out that my rib cage is larger than my brothers who is almost a foot taller than me and that everyone thinks I'm super smart. I had my FYP oral exam which went less well that planned and I signed up for all my classes next year (dets to follow). We had our tutorial party and a going away party and my heart cried a little. I also made friends with a prof and made him a thank you cake.

Okay! Lets start with the fun thing, I PICKED MY CLASSES. Next year is going to be sooooOOOooo great (I can't stress how great it's going to be). In first semester I'm taking Astronomy (HOW COOL) which is a full year course, French (WOW LANGUAGE CREDIT) which is a full year course, Ancient and Medieval Science (NICE) which is the HOST core course and also a full year, British Literature before 1800 (YEAH), and Listening to Classical Music (YES THAT IS ACTUALLY A COURSE GUYS). In second semester I'm taking the first three still (because they're full credits) and Foundations of Science Fiction (YOU WISH YOU WERE THIS COOL) and Science and Totalitarianism (WOOOOOOO). Yeah, I'm cool and I'm taking the most awesome couses ever. I actually made a really cool friend in the last two weeks of classes (his name is Alex and he's really cool) who's taking Science and Totalitarianism too which is really cool because I'd defs like to get to know him better. We like a lot of the same things. It's good.

Speaking of new friends, I found out that one of my favourite tutors is coming back next year, Mr. Burke. He helped me a lot with my research paper on time travel. It was a pretty good paper if I do say so myself. I handed it in earlier this evening (as in I drove to King's and dropped in through a slot and watched it go splat on the floor. It was a good time). Anyways, I think Mr. Burke is a really cool guy. He likes the same things as I do and he's really easy to talk to and, unlike some of my other "friends" really enjoys talking about academics. Because he helped me so much with my paper I made him a honey cake which just happens to be my new favourite cake. I got the recipe out of the Winnie the Pooh cookbook I bought myself for Christmas that's made for five year olds. He said it was good and that he liked it and I am pleased.

I suppose you might want to know about my awesome tutorial party. It was pretty slow starting. I chatted with Tom for a while. He's coming back next year which I'm really glad about because we never got a chance to watch movies together this year and geek out over geeky things. I talked to the other Tom for a bit too and that was fun. Then another tutor came whose name I'm too lazy too look up right now with a bottle of Tequila. Then some people in my tutorial acquired two lemons and some salt and Laura made the most beautiful toast ever. She called us intelligent and beautiful. It was so wonderful. Then we all took a shot of tequila and it was a beautiful moment. Everyone thought it was really gross but I didn't find it too bad, then again what do I know. I don't drink. eventually it was time to say goodbye because my dad was coming to get me and it was very emotional. Aynsley and Tom were stupendous, Cadence and Siobhan were too nice, Ava and Millie were beyond, Warren was really sweet, and I can't deal with what Laura told me. She said that I was a really good student. I mean, I think I'm a good student but for someone to tell me that who has marked most of my papers and had to deal with all my crazy thesis' all year long it really really meant something to me, you know? Anyways, that was all fun and games.

Oh, I forgot. On the last day of classes I co-hosted a smoothie party. It was really fun. We hung around and drank smoothies and ate honey cake. mmm mmm mmm.

On Friday night I went to another party. Ava is moving into some big old house with a bunch of her friends and they had a house warming party. I had met all the people who she was living with before and they're all really sweet but while I was there I met a lot of people who I had never met before and they were all really cool. I want them all to be my friends. Unfortunately I'm rather odd so the likelihood of that happening are slim unless they all prove me wrong.

I think it's funny that the two weeks before exams are the most I've partied all year long.

I hope you enjoyed this little summary of my life in the last month and a bit. I need to go sleep because I have to get up tomorrow to cram for an exam at 3.30.

Wish me luck guys.
