War of the Seasons

After the high intensity interval training that I participated in this morning I didn't really want to leave my house again, but I had to attend class.

I was greeted by the sun as I stepped outside. I then checked the temperature on my iPhone and it said 7 degrees Celsius. 7 degrees! That's almost summer!

I greatly appreciated the little hint from my subconscious telling me I should put on the rubber boots instead of the winter ones. There were puddles everywhere from all the melting snow.

In class, at the break, Meghan announced that she was going to Timmies, so I tried to give her money for a white hot chocolate but she wouldn't take it. Don't worry, the money is sitting at the bottom of her purse. I asked her what she would do if I won off that cup and she said share, but I informed her that we had never made such an agreement. Unfortunately, I did not win.

I was in class for an hour and a half. I stepped out the door and was hit by a lovely bitter wind. To make matters worse, the sun had departed behind a large cloud and didn't look about to budge any time soon. That's the Canadian winter for you, sunny one minute and foul the next.

At least I have something to look forward to. At the end of the week my cousin, Nicool, is coming for a visit. YAY! We are going to the box sale to get books!!!

I also get to see my Bestie, Emma, which is rather wonderful news.

It is sure to be a pleasurable ending to a very busy week.

In other news, I have recently acquired an iPhone and a new plan which has, in various forms, long distance calling. I love this new component because it means I can call my mother whenever my heart desires. My mother also loves this component.

My birthday list...

Dearest Moma:

For my birthday I want:
- 2 hours of playing a board game;
- ice cream cake of delicious proportions for supper;
- homemade pizza for dessert (preferably in the shape of a triangle);
- punch to drink;
- party hats;
- Batman plates;
- 20 balloons;
- family movie night;
- my whole family to share it all with; and
- a Mini Cooper (I won't be sharing that).

Love always,

A Snowy Day

It's March 4th,
the snow is still falling.
On March 20,
spring will start calling.

It may seem far away,
but once it's here,
it's here to stay.
Have no fear!

I like to watch the snow descend,
but we could live without the cold.
The driveway has been shovelled so much,
it's starting to get quite old.

Don't worry,
warm weather is in sight,
with just a little faith,
and maybe some might.

Say hello to spring,
and goodbye to cold times.
This poem is so true,
all because it rhymes.

GO CANADA

That's about all I have to say today.

How The Olympics Are Ruining My Life.

If the Olympics are on and you're trying to study, you might want to give up now. I've realized that the exciting world of legislative tribunals pales in comparison to the beautiful skating of our Canadian teams.

It's not just today. Yesterday the men's hockey game became more interesting than landlord/tenant studying.

I have five midterms from Wednesday to Friday and I have a feeling that's when all the exciting stuff is going to show up on the Olympics.

I need someone to come over, sit right next to me, and say "study" every time my attention starts to leave the page.

 

Going to study, I hope, this is t-bear signing off

Dearest Nicool:

Dearest Nicool:

You are so cool,

You definitely rule,

You would win any duel.

 

I wrote this poem especially for you on your special day. I know cards are usually preferred but I thought I would go for something out of the ordinary.

I hope your birthday became more wonderful by the men's hockey win, my day sure got better after hearing that. I always got a rolling pin today which makes everything seem much brighter.

I'm sure you don't need anyone to tell you to have cake today. You're the type of person who just knows that cake goes with birthdays. Well done.

 

The National Post today said:

 

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer/songwriter/musician Peter Gabriel (1950) shares your birthday today. Because you are outgoing, dynamic and energetic, you love to seek out excitement and adventure. You are frank and comfortable in your own skin. (People are amazed at your uninhibited behavior, which for you is natural and healthy.) You always speak your mind. This year you will work hard to build or construct something important. If you do this your rewards will soon follow.

 

Doesn't that sound like a wonderful year! The National Post sure knows what it`s talking about.

 

Happy Birthday Nicole! this is t-bear signing off



Letting go.

Letting go is really hard for me.

I think this is why I have a difficult time dealing with change. With change there is always something that you have to let go of.

My grandparents will be moving from the house that they have lived in for 30 some years. They've never been more than a walk away. With this change I have to let go of the childhood that I had in that house. I have to let go of all the holidays and family gatherings we had there. I have to let go of what the future looked like, because now it's changing.

In four months I will graduate from college. I'm letting go of being a student. For the first time in 15 years I won't be going to class, but going to work.

While these changes haven't happened yet they still affect me now. It has been a while since I haven't been sure of what I will be doing with my life.
