these are the butterballs....and yes, we were BORED at one point. 

this is the afterparty. don't know if you can see it too clearly but everyone there was ASIAN!! Poor Kyle, it was funny how he predicted the girls that were going to throw up an hour before they did. It's like a sixth sense for him or something, I'm not too sure. Speaking of the afterparty, my chinese friend told me about this, so I kinda guessed it would be all asian, but hey, a place for us to drink and be rowdy! At one point, I had to hold a girl's hair back, at another point, I had to hold another bag underneath another bag that was being puked in, and ANOTHER time I locked myself in the bathroom for some reason I don't remember now and I don't remember how I got out. There was another girl there that got really drunk and I think she almost got (or most likely got) alcohol poisoning because she was fainting and hyperventilating. Seriously, these chinese people were drinking hard stuff (Kyle called it hard stuff so you know how hard this stuff is) and they weren't mixing it with anything. Bleck, grossness right there. Ah well, the night was fun and we headed back to Kyle's res around 630. Went to Limeridge the next day and I didn't really have that much of a hangover.  

sanjee and his girlfriend leila 

kyle and me at formal. gelled hair! 

this is my hair, it's all nice and fancy. thanks to katrina for that! 

Rez-Wide Formal

Got back from the rez-wide formal called "Lost Under the Stars" and it was alright. I looked a lot better the second time around for this formal and my face wasn't all shitty because I did my OWN makeup...well, attempted anyways. And my hair is all princess-y thanks to my female housemates Katrina and Morgan (it's good to live with chicks, especially chicks who know how to dress like a girl haha). Although it was called Lost Under the Stars, there were like two decorations in the entire hotel that had stars in it. It was pretty crappy decorations at that. Oh, speaking of which, the formal was at the Sheraton hotel in downtown Hamilton. It was cool, the space was huge, and I ACTUALLY danced this time around too! Like, not just for two slow songs, but slow AND fast. The DJ wasn't that bad, he knew how to spin so Kishan didn't have to take over this time (I'm joking, Kishan wasn't there). Who was there was Aisha though, Sanjee told me she was here and I went all =O!!!! Wow! Apparently she's here with her boyfriend, I said "hi" and left them be. I had other things to pay attention to ;). Example would be how ubernice Kyle looked in a suit. It's kindof amazing what a dress shirt and tie can do for a guy. Reminds me of the good ol' days of concert dress. All those grungy people in white dress shirts and red ties. Definitely underestimate some people.
I got some pictures from the formal and I'll post them up here or maybe even in my msn space. I should start using that..you know...HARNESS the POWER of the MSN SPACE. MUAHAHAHA.....
Alright, time to go out and party! As in....AFTERPARTY!!

Wat Happened?!

Anybody listen to the edge and here that stupid dude saying, "what happened?" I just thought of it RIGHT now.
I downloaded the new Il Divo album (Encora) and their Christmas special which also sounds like heaven. To the girls: isn't it just like the sweetist thing for a guy to do is to serenade for you (nicely)? I'm sure most of you dirty girls out there have other things in mind but I'm trying to keep this blog clean here alright?
On a totally unrelated topic, I think I have become the unofficial piracy person in the house. Not only am I downloading movies/music for my own pleasure, but for other people as well. I don't mind at all, but yes, to all of you major downloaders out there, DON'T upload! Apparently that's how they track you and arrest you. My parents are all "boo" about people being arrested for pirating movies and such, but they are happy enough to take half of my movies home to watch on their new brand-spanking divX/dvd player. That thing is sweet because that means I can just use my dvd-r's for storing information instead of making them into dvds to play.
And another paragraph that doesn't relate to anything else...
Almostdone school! Yes! I'm excited that there are only two more weeks of classes left (and yes, I WILL be going to classes...soon) I just can't wait for exams to be over, my exam interval is Dec 12 to the 20th. Some exams start as early as december 7th which sucks. But yes, what sucks for ME is that I have TWO exams on the same day, and that day is a SATURDAY! Maaaaannnnnn.... But I just have to remember that after exams are over, I get to go home and then on the family road trip down to Florida! My sis and I are going to RAPE Islands of Adventure...as in have loads of fun and take lots of stupid pictures to show all of you. Plus we're stopping by the COKE FACTORY in Atlanta on the way back so that's going to be VERY VERY EXCITING. Oh my goodness...my head is tingling with excitement! (or from the lack of sleep I'm not too sure).

Snow = unofficial start of winter

It's snowing! It probably is down in TO too but yes, since we're a little bit more north we get more snow! (I'm actually not too sure about that). It's really pretty though. I woke up today around 10, looked out the window and it was really snowing. I thought to myself, "Do I REALLY want to get out of my warm pajamas, walk to school in lots of snow for one class?". So yes, I crawled back into bed and woke up at 3. Still got 4 hours to study before the big biology test and I think I'm ready. I actually think I'm going to do well so I'm taking a break (?!) and updating my blog (?!). Craziness. I'm sure I'm going to do just as badly though from my past history in grade 12 biology. Even if I study really hard and I know the stuff, I'll still FAIL.
On another note, I checked my calculus test marks, and I'm getting a decent average of about an 85 and that's from not going to class and barely studying for the tests. I'm sure I'm going to bomb this next one but hey, you never know. And so far in algebra I'm doing pretty well too, so I guess the only classes I'm REALLY screwed for would be the other three: bio, chem and psych. Well, not really psych since I enjoy the class but yea, I only got a 75 on the midterm exam. Sucks to be me eh? And there's this other report due for the class next friday and I'm not too excited about that either. Oh well, only two more weeks of school left and then the term's over! And the horrible exams begin.... ( dum dum dum!!!!)

Free!

Beautiful word isn't it?
I got dinner for free tonight courtesy of Kyle (thanks =)) but we both ended up not paying at all. We ate at Quarters, this pub on campus, and the burger that he got was really red on the inside, so when he showed it to the waitress after we finished eating she obviously can't give him another one. She came back and said, "so we're not charging you guys for anything because we got a new manager and he decided to give you both a free meal." (THAT'S AWESOME!) I mean, I ordered like $12 worth of food and I didn't pay for it. Which is good since I have to start scrimping on money for food on myself. Plus I got some yummy mashpotatoes! (MINE! ALL MINE!!) I sculpted it into a face before I doggie-boxed it.
I just realized yesterday that I got an Algebra assignment due on the same day as my Biology test so I need to finish it NOW! I haven't gone to class in a while either for anything but I've been working pretty hard on my notes and stuff. Most of the classes I'm taking right now don't need me to go to class since it's all in the textbook (I'm going tomorrow!), and the one I do need to go to I can't because it's too early! I will definitely try to go for tomorrow though because I NEED to!
Other than that um...Christmas is in 6 weeks I think...YAY!
Alright, time to go back to my algebra assignment, toodles!

Uneventful

Like the title, it's been....uneventful since the last time I posted which was almost a week ago. No big hoo-ha that people REALLY need to know...other than I think I flunked my chem test. eeek! I thought I would do well too seeing as how it was mostly heat stuff but nope, I screwed that test up royally. I'm actually excited about this biology lab that I'm going to in the afternoon because it has to do with DNA and electrophoresis and PCRs. Probably because I saw my sister do it almost everyday for her job two summers ago and I thought it was really cool! She worked at Sick Kids where I also volunteered at but not at the same time I don't think.
Hopefully my sickness is over and done with because I want to get my flu shot! I actually missed the flu shot times for the campus medical place but those times were during me being sick so I wouldn't have been able to get it anyways.
In other news, anyone watch the Leafs vs. Montreal game on Saturday? It was nice and I finally got to wear my Leafs jersey outside the house! I need to go skating in it at some point...or go skating in general. I miss going on the occasional thursday with the reggies + stephanie, that was a lot of fun. Especially seeing the little Alex Farmer fan club swarming and being clingy...bahahaha
Family Guy episode last night was HILARIOUS except for the really disturbing part with the quadriplegic couple (or Lou Gehrig's Disease couple) "having sex" as in lying down in wheelchairs next to each other and making computerized noises. *shudder* Later last night, we had some interesting discussions about porn. It involved the entire house (+kyle later on and - katrina who was obviously preoccupied) and yea, it lasted a good hour I think. Pretty hilarious stuff especially me embarrassing myself once again (haha...dog shadow). But yes...good conversation = stress reliever from HUGE BIOLOGY TEST COMING UP ON FRIDAY! AHHHH!!!!!! That's it, screw hand-written notes, Microsoft Word all the way.

Stuffy

This is a life-defining moment...me being sick away from my parents. Yea, it sounds stupid doesn't it? But really, whenever I got sick back home, my parents were always there to help fix me dinner, or come into my room every now and then to check up on me. Here, it's just, "yea, she's sick, whatever...". I guess you could say that I might've been a little spoiled back home but really, I just miss my parents affection. Hehe, it does sound stupid. This is the most horrible time to be sick too since I got a calculus test tonight, a huge bio formal report due tomorrow (which I haven't really touched on too much) and a chemistry exam on friday (which I haven't really started studying for). Karma's a real bitch sometimes. Yesterday, it was just pure bad luck. Couldn't wake up to throw out the garbage, got sick (the sickness probably accumulated over a couple of days), my headphones broke. I even took a Claritin last night around 6pm (it's the only nose-related medicine I have) and now I can't take (or I shouldn't) anything until it's totally out of my system, as in in another 5 hours. I just feel so miserable right now it's not even funny. Ugh...all nasal-congested and I got a huge headache. I wish I had some congee right now (I'm missing congee, can you believe that?!).
I think going away to university really is a life-defining moment because it's when you being to realize all the things that you actually miss. You don't know it until you don't have it anymore (eg. congee!). Just right now, I don't feel all here and it's totally not the best time to be sick. I feel like such a shell of a person right now. AND I can't take my flu shot until I get all better which sucks too!
But hey, there's a rez-formal coming up and I might be going to that so I'm excited and it's the motivation I need to keep working and get better. (A little sad but give me a break here people). Other than that, I'm going home in 2 weekends time and I kinda WANT to go to Western, and even though my parents might say it's not that good of an idea, I still want to go. BUT.. the timing's just not right...don't worry Tiff! We have until April =).
*sniffs*....*blows nose*...*back to work*

Time Is Slow...

Although it seems like time flies while in university, it's only been two months (not even!) and it feels more like 4 or 5. Maybe it's because in high school the only time you really work really hard is before tests (which come every what...month?!) and here we get exams and such every 2 months. Maybe if we had midterm exams in high school I could feel less like time is going as slow as a snail but hey, we didn't and I was really glad of it. I haven't really blogged for a couple of days because of the work (yes, I'm working!) and midterms are coming again!
Midterms, starting tomorrow with algebra hopefully this time around won't be as horrible. It's bad because I was actually happy that I got a frikkin 53% on my biology exam. WOW. There's also this formal biology report due next week and it's totally freaking me out. The report is so thorough and it's written in more of a journalistic style. I just hope they mark us easy on this report because it's our VERY FIRST ONE.
In happier news, our chemistry lab section got a new TA. He's a lot more fun to be around than our last one. She was very much hated by our section since she didn't help us at ALL with ANYTHING and would just walk around, criticize how bad we were doing and dock off marks. Supposedly, she docked off 0.003 percent from this one guy and he was just saying yesterday during our lab that she should've just given him zero. The lab we did yesterday was the cycle of copper and we put copper through all these different reactions and we ended up with copper again! Except my percent recovery was like 80%..ahh...human error, the best kind there is.
I don't know what's happening to me, but I haven't been able to wake up at all lately. Maybe it's because of me sleeping really late (that's probably it) but I mean, before in high school, I would sleep that late too but I was still able to get up. It's probably because I don't have my dad prodding me to wake up and threatening to leave without me. I guess I should start sleeping one instead of 4 huh?
