procrastination

i'm the queen of it.

i'm supposed to be up doing an assignment (that's due today) and i have to get up early to take my niece to school and stay there for an hour with a classroom full on 6 and 7 year old children to parent help, yet i decide to update my dwindling blog.

the year so far has been amazing. absolutely amazing. so many different experiences and occurances. i believe i've truly found the right path to be on, and with the right person and people to be on it with.

uni is almost over for the year - thank god. i'm looking forward to getting into 2nd year stuff. i might pass the time during the next few months off with some french or arabic classes. i'd say the french would be more useful as i'm going to france in about 4 months!

i will have to kick off my exercise/healthy eating regime the day after i finish exams. i aim to go from the 5th of june to the 5th of september - almost like a personal biggest loser. i'm not looking to do anything drastic, as i'm pretty happy the way i am. i'd just like to increase my fitness, and figured now would be a good time as i only have to work part time.

anyhow i probably should get back to finishing off my school work. it's pouring with rain outside, and there's nothing better than falling asleep whilst listening to the rain...

lazy

my god i'm lazy...

i always forget about things, such as this blog. or forget to do things. i wonder what i'll be like if/when i get to 80.

so the time between last blog and this has been rather lovely. big things are happening - some i can disclose, some i cannot (i can't keep secrets very well, so we'll see about the latter)

i've returned to study and have changed my major from it (boring) to psychology (fabulous). it's so interesting and i love it. the slightly sad thing about it is that it makes me think i should have done this years ago, as psychology was one of my preferences when picking my year 11 and 12 subjects. oh well...i've had a pretty good time (most of the time!) between then and now, so it's not so bad.

my lovely cousin in new york asked me to be her bridesmaid in september, which is a great honour indeed. no trip to new york can be complete without a side trip to paris and london, can it? might even add montreal into the mix too. the shame is that the significant other speaks fluent french, so his linguistic talents would come in handy in both paris and montreal (and also someone to carry my shopping bags...)

i spent most of my last trip to europe with my camera in my hand, and this time with all the architectural delights in store, i am gearing up to do the same. instead this time i think i'll take my beloved dslr. i'm thinking of getting some lessons beforehand so that i can learn how to use it properly, not just the point-and-shoot/learn as you go method i've been using.

anyhow, i better get back to work. need to tone down this halloween-esque makeup i've applied today to a more suitable level for tonight.

au revoir/see ya/cheerio.

new

happy new year, happy new decade, happy new life (if yours wasn't happy enough already).

everything is shiny and new this year and it feels fabulous. work is wonderful, study is hopefully going to be equally wonderful, friends and family are wonderful, and this year has started out much more rosy than the last.

dare i say it, but my life almost does seem fabulously fabulous at the moment...

i'm off to go knock on wood and get some work done.
