what a bad teaching week!
i had FOUR no shows....FOUR...it's bad enough that i thought i had to work on good friday...but it's worse when you DO go to work, and then they don't show, and you call them up...and they yell at you cuz you're dumb...and didn't you know it was good friday and nothing is open on good friday? apparently the music studio was open on good friday...anyway, my boss called them back and they yelled at her too...except my boss yelled back at them...hahahaaa...there goes some clientele...oops!

so apparently faywood called like 3 days ago, but i didn't get the msg till yesterday...i hate my phone...why don't i have an answering machine?!?!?!? everyone's done exams, and i haven't even STARTED....damn it...i can't wait till i'm DONE!!!!! until then...

i emerged from my cocoon with lisa this early morning for a 9am breakfast with the smcsu breakfast club. while scooting over to robarts with lisa so she could return her books, we sidetracked over to trinity to look at their beautiful gothic buildings, and their anglican church. met up with the pol200 gang at 11am at diablos, and then we went to eat vegetarian vietnamese food on dundas and spadina!

let me tell you how much fun it is to be eating at these ghetto restaurants when i'm the only asian person in our group! the five of us, ben, robin, eileen, leah and i, split 5 dishes and enjoyed our meal immensely. ben mosied off to work after lunch and me and the girls went browsing at "in shoes" and then went through kensington market! matthew called and then we met up with him and nici for 2 hours at second cup, and then robin went home and eileen went to study...(study?!?!?!)

geordie, nici, matthew and i went to see "anger management"...what a funny movie...dumb, but funny...and then after, we went over to geordie and nici's apartment to eat and watch the leafs game! i think my day was more then fun!

it makes up for my last two boring days at home studying and getting myself reaquainted with "dharma & greg" and "will & grace", along with the regular "gilmore girls"! i'm surprised my bum hasn't made a huge impression of itself on the sofa yet...plus, the starbucks at bathurst and steeles sucks...i love downtown!

oh, before i forget...robin brought pictures, and she sent them to me...here are a "selection" of them that i've posted on my website... the others were just way too shameful to have floating around...

ooooh lala! the hottest boy in the world came to my house today! unfortunately, i don't know who he is...all i know is that he works for the college pro painters...and when he told me that i laughed...nono, not because i'm mean like that...but because i had just had a conversation with my good friend andrew price, and he told me that he got a job with the college pro painters this summer! either way, i had fun flirting with him...but that's it...i wish some of MY guy friends would just randomly come visit me...(hint hint) hahaha!

yeh, i really have nothing important to say, just that i'm done that essay (thank god!) and now i have to get myself into study mode...for exams....blah.

what a good day!
a good breakfast with the smcsu breakfast club, a nap at teresa's, a nap at diablo's before class (for the record, i was STILL tired in lec), went to see a house with joe vee, mike and brenden...and then went to kensington market for the first time and bought banana chips that were soo good! went to gabby's for half-priced chicken wings with kirsten and bronwyn where we watched some of the leafs game...THEY WON 5-3!!!! the best part was running into immanuel! i had mentioned to him last week how much i liked the group t.a.t.u. and then thought nothing of it...and today when i saw him, he had a present for me! he had burned a copy of the cd for me! how sweet! and that really made my day!

it's 11pm and as soon as i finish blogging, i'll be finishing this gosh-darn essay that should have been done last week! len emailed me MONDAY to tell me that my definition of freedom for hobbes was WRONG...luckily for me (though he didn't know this) i hadn't even STARTED my paper yet so really, no harm done...BUT he didn't need to know that...and i milked it for all it's worth! i got half my paper done yesterday, and i really don't want to spend anymore time on it, so i'm giving MYSELF up to tomorrow (i want to PARTY!) but really, it doesn't have to be in until friday (but let's pretend it's due tomorrow...psyche myself out!)

i'm soooo screwed on this essay...nono...not the fact that it's late (actually...everyone...I GOT AN EXTENSION! mwahahahaaa! but in the end...it means NOTHING!)

i emailed len my paper woes...and hopefully he'll email me back quickly so that he can put me on the right track and i can go my happy way...(no worries robin...i think i'm OK!)

in other news, i had to wash off the cutest smiley face with big ears, small feet and a large tuff of hair that nici drew yesterday, for my interview. it went alright...but i'll talk more about it if and when i get it. if you don't hear anything from me, then DON'T ASK!

i got the longest email from tanaka today. i think i had a heart attack when i realized i had to SCROLL DOWN! seriously! tanaka, i'm gonna jot down this date in my diary and write "today, tanaka wrote the longest email to me" hahahaaaa! oh man...inside joke!

and so i realized why i don't eat lasanga very often...too much cheese.

The Four Friends
Ernest was an elephant, a great big fellow,
Leonard was a lion with a six-foot tail,
George was a goat, and his beard was yellow,
And James was a very small snail.

Leonard had a stall, and a great big strong one,
Ernest had a manger, and its walls were thick,
George found a pen, but I think it was the wrong one,
And James sat down on a brick.

Ernest started trumpeting, and cracked his manger,
Leonard started roaring, and shivered his stall,
James gave the huffle of a snail in danger
And nobody heard him at all.

Ernest started trumpeting and raised such a rumpus,
Leonard started roaring and trying to kick,
James went a journey with the goat's new compass
And he reached the end of his brick.

Ernest was an elephant and very well-intentioned,
Leonard was a lion with a brave new tail,
Goerge was a goat, as I think I have mentioned,
But James was only a snail.

A.A. Milne - When We Were Very Young

that is the cutest book in the world! thanks to nici for lending it to me! i read it home on the subway and it made me feel so much younger, relaxed, and it sort of brought me back to reality. afterall, since i've gone to university, i've been reading insane amounts of textbooks and philosophy books, and when i do go to chapters, i read magazines or archies...and this little poetry book made me think of being so little again and pretending and everything! this is why it's so great to be little again! i hadn't realized how much i'd grown up...sure i'm still CRAZY...but i'm older crazy!

anyway...just another indication that i'm still little...i hole-punched my finger...yup that's right...i HOLE-PUNCHED IT! i was hole-punching some notes, but i wasn't really paying attention to what i was doing...i was listening to my sister and dad's conversation...when it happened...yeh...silly me...i'm such a klutz! georges paid $45 for a nipple piercing monday, and i get a free finger stabbing at home...hahaha

so it's snowing...again...what happened to spring?!?!? but it's a COOL snow...it's very feathery...like you can slid in the snow...and the snow will go FLYING in little pebbles...it's fun...but still...i'm tired of the snow! it ruined a beautiful nite of classical music! i went for about an hour of philharmonic concert being held at hart house...immanuel invited me to go...and i haven't listened to any REAL classical music for a very long time and went to see them...i was there to hear them play beethoven's symphony no. 5 in C minor, Op.67....it was sooooo good! i'm glad i went...but i felt bad cuz i was missing vivaldi and igor stravinsky's firebird suite! ahh!

i spent two hours at second cup! what a GREAT two hours! i was there with robin, matthew, geordie and nici...and it was sooo much fun! i don't think i've laughed so much in such a long time! it's such a different atmosphere with these ppl! it's so much more fun, and crazy! everything is sooo laid back and not so serious...and you don't have to watch what you're doing or saying...no back stabbing or anything retarded...so...free...

all in all, a fun day...week....whatever...BUT now i must get started on my essay that was due....today!
