A girl in my program has had the worst news I can imagine. If you have been following the news in Toronto at all, you have heard of Alicia Ross.
ALicia was 25 years old, she was missing from her home in Thornhill for the last 35 days and her body was just found yesterday. Trisha, her older sister goes to school with me and is now on her way home. I cant even think about what she is going through right now.
The link to the Toronto star article is in the title above.

Last Day!
I am about to leave for my last lecture and hand in my last paper, well at least until my thesis is due in the spring! I can barely believe that this part of my masters is almost over, its gone by so fast.
I fly to Tasmania tomorrow for a week holiday, driving around and just chillin. I cant wait to get out of surfers and go see yet another part of Oz that I haven't been to.
Ill post the pics when I get back.

Email from my uni
This is not a joke, this was actually sent to my student email account from the university.
And the best part is...its true!
Hello everyone,
The weather is warming up and there already have been reports of snakes around campus and snakes will become even more active in the coming warmer months.
Students and staff are advised not attempt to handle or capture any snakes that they may see around campus, the best procedure is as follows;
* leave the snake alone and move away slowly while facing the snake at all times. Snakes are attracted to movement so do not panic and do not make any sudden moves, move slowly and back away.
* secure the area as best as possible by staying close by (not too close) and warn people away from the area.
* arrange for Security to be contacted, they will then contact a wildlife expert for the removal of the snake.
If possible, and only if it is safe, please try to remember the head shape of the snake [round or pointy] and its colour, this information often helps experts to determine if the snake is venomous or not (this helps but is not always the case however).

blah essays
I can’t wait until this useless work is done. Why is it that professors think that their essay is so valuable that they make it worth most of your grade? I mean so many of them have been pointless, and most of the time they aren’t even marked fairly. The profs barley have the time to give it a good once over. So I’ve stayed up late working on this for what? Some prof to spend, if I’m lucky, 10 minutes reading it. Grrr!
Did I tell you I got the famous English exam mark? I got 83% on it so I was pretty happy with myself.
Other than that I am so beyond happy to have a week and a half of this uni shit left. Then I can start on my research paper, which will prove to be much more worth while to write. This time I will get to actually make a statement, do some research, write something worth reading. I mean finally in my masters program I’ll get to write a masters level paper. Finally!
Okay yes, I have lost it. I’m complaining that there isn’t enough work or that it isn’t hard enough or worth the effort I put into it. Time to go to bed before I start writing papers for 'extra' marks.
I'm such a geek.

True Love
Memories, may be beautiful and yet;
what’s too painful to remember we simply choose to forget;
So it’s the laughter we will remember;
Whenever we remember the way we were.

Aches, and pains, and sneezes oh my!
Yes I'm sick. The whole program has come down with the flu/worst cold of your life. And lucky me got it Monday morning. I woke up from a nice weekend of sunshine and hanging out to the most horrible cold I've had, not including the flu fever thing I had on vacation with mom and dad. I actually spent all day in bed sleeping, not watching TV and hanging out, actually sleeping in my dark dark room (bright lights kill my eyes) I think ill have to take another day off so I can at least go to prac on Thursday to sit at the back of the room and pretend to be there.
oh this sucks. I hate feeling this bad!
I better get back to bed. I pretty much will only be 'with it' for another 5 minutes till my meds kick in and my head turns into a balloon again.
Ah-Choo!

Happy Hour
Just thought I would share my little happy hour with you. I just got home from a hard day of grade four, poured myself a stiff vodka and am sitting on my balcony staring at the sunny beach. What a great way to start a long weekend, and trust me this is well deserved!!!!
