TO tonight!

Hey everybody! I'm going back to Toronto tonight and I can't wait to see some of you guys! (If you're still up for some get-togethery-ness) and also to see my fam and Les Mis!! *giddy*!! Nothing too new to report except I've actually been working out every other day for the past couple of weeks and it's starting to show...just a little bit :). Like I still got some fat from over the summer that I've been trying to get rid of, but it's so hard!! It's true about losing those last couple of pounds and how frikkin hard it is. Getting some nice abs though teehee...
On some other INTERESTING news....I met with my psych group in the science library two days ago and we were discussing our psych trigger and the report we had to do. Our trigger was Subliminal Perception and the main example that we have to use being the Judas Priest trial with those two kids who tried to commit suicide. Anyways...afterwards, I was talking to one of the girls in the group and she was like "I live in Bates," and I was like "really? do you know someone by the name of Debbie?"
J: "You mean Debbie Ho?"
B: "Yea!"
J: "omg, she's my roommate!"
B" *stunned*
What are the chances of THAT happening eh? (Thnx to Kyle I've been saying 'eh' WAY too much) I went up with her to her "apartment-style" room to check it out because I didn't know what they looked like. It was pretty nice and Debbie was there, along with Alex. I asked Alex what he was doing here on a Wednesday, and he said, "Oh, York people get off for Jewish holidays." *gasp!* WHAT?! I don't understand why though, was it because York was founded by a Jewish person? Or what? I mean, Hamilton (according to my housemates) is mainly Jewish people so why doesn't Mac get Jewish holidays off too?! Gosh, there are like a billion of those and we can't take advantage of one of them! Boooo.....
In other news, I stayed up until very late doing this online chemistry quiz that's due on Sunday. I didn't really want to work on it over the weekend (seeing as how I'm hopefully be very busy either with family stuff or friend stuff or studying stuff) so yea...VERY LATE!!! Got it done though, just hope I got a good mark on it..not like last time when I didn't know it was due until 3 hours before it was due!! *BIG S mouth!*. I definitely think I did better which is good =).

Have you ever seen a memorial award named after someone that you didn't know? And then google their name just to figure it out? I was walking through this hall to the Pulse gym and there was this Heimbecker cup for athletes after the girl Joan Heimbecker. I thought, "why was she important? What did she do that made her so recognized?". That night I went home and googled her name up. Apparently her boyfriend (or ex-boyfriend) shot her 6 times when she was about the age of a girl in grad school.
This wasn't the first time I've seen this though. When I went to John A. Macdonald for Saturday morning math class, there was this plaque on the wall that said "in memorium" and I looked at hte names on there. There was this chinese (or asian girl's name) and then these two other names with the same last name "Ottey". I wondered how two sisters (only 2 years apart) could have died in the same year. I looked their names up on the internet that night and found out that one of the sister's ex-boyfriend shot and beat the sisters to death.
Holy crap! You guys see a trend here? Definitely there has been a lot of women abuse in this country, especially around our age group. I'm not being a feminist or anything, but I'm just stating by observation here. I just hope none of you guys ever get into something like that, because that would suck ass....a lot of ass.
