Mum Made a Funny

Mum: Hey are you awake and on your way to work? Where's my iPad?

Me: I'm awake and almost on my way to work. I seriously accidentally took your iPad with me because I  didn't have time to pack so I forgot that it was in my purse when I jumped into the car with Dad. I'm sorry I totally blanked.

Mum: You're dead to me.

Me: Shosh and Mars want me to tell you they love you.

Mum: I love THEM too.

Me: I'M SORRY!!!

Mum: *silence*

Weekend Bliss

It is official, with Victoria Day behind us I can now start referring to the season as summer. I can start working on the summer list, I can wear white pants, and I can camp. This is the season I love, even if I've never worn white pants before.

This weekend one of my very best friends in the world came and visited me from Calgary. You know you have a true friend when you are staying in Abbotsford and they still choose to come and visit you, particularly if they are traveling by the greyhound.

The backdrop for the weekend included the mountains, the lake, the ocean, and Vancouver. It was Carissa's first time in BC, so I wanted to show her as much as I could in the short time she was here. Needless to say, the weekend was jam-packed: campfires, words on the dock, hiking, '91 Ford Ranger escapades, traipsing, white wok, jean jackets, Pumped Up Kicks, iPod power struggles, dissecting jokes, drool bombs, the waters of Seabus, an adorable old Asian vendor with a sassy remarks and elaborate backstories, a less-adorable "Ash" character, pig chips, accents, sweat-pants abuse, an Elder wand, Chubby bunny contests, S'moreos, the cutlery drawer, pickle hairs, troll beards, transit authorities, ukuleles, jiggly jello, cheers to sobriety, and a seemingly endless supply of Pringles.

Since there is no concise to capture the weekend that will be intelligible to the readers of this blog, I'll try to summarize with my favourite photos. They capture the moments better than I can.

Weekly Update

I read a couple blogs that post photos to show what happened during the week, and since I feel lazy, this is what I've done during my first week home in BC for the summer.

I guess this post is really more reflective of my past weekend rather than my week, per se, as I started working full-time on Monday and have had little time or energy to do much else. I have, however, managed to catch a couple movies, run, and listen to a lot of music. I'm leaving you with five songs I've had on repeat this week.

May The Fourth Be With You

In honour of the day, I decided to do my hair in the style of Princess Leia in The Empire Strikes Back.

May the fourth be with you!

A note on nothing

I feel lost now that the semester is done. I think it is because I invest so much of my focus on my classes that when the semester is over, I have no more goals, nothing to work towards. The most immediate task at hand is moving out of my apartment. Things need to be packed. Today I packed all my stuff up from the bathroom. Tomorrow I guess I'll clean it and move on to the massive task of packing up some of my clothes. That is definitely a task that will span the weekend. I'm just kind of typing thoughts as they come to my mind. The lack structure to this writing is a welcome break from my essay marathon.

Listen to this song, it is the best. Even though it is spring, it was quite dark and rainy today, and this song helped me through it.

 

I have my last exam in a few hours. Then I'm freeeeeeeeeee.

What am I going to do with my free time? Pack up my apartment while watching the last season of Arrested Development.

But the time between exams and getting your mark back is the absolute worst. I wait, and wait, and wait. I stress, and stress, and stress. It is agonizing. I'm just trying to let go and come to terms with the fact that there is nothing more I can do but wait patiently for the marks to be posted because constantly worrying isn't going to help anything. The only consolation is knowing that I tried my best.

P.S I reached my goal to go without facebook for the rest of the semester.
