One week till i get a Tan!!

I am so excited, i am going to Florida for reading week. I am going to get a tan!!! And besides that i finally have pictures from the Mayan pottery i get to work on. No i didn't put it together, but yes i get to take it apart and put it back together better. All the assembly was done in the field so it is rough and i will keep all my comments about archaeologists to myself.

the next pictures are some of the best and saddest about this project, i bet you can see why. but i need to go to bed and sleep, and will try to add more later.

Another year older

Birthday number 28 has come and gone. It is odd. I never could have imagined what 28 would be like 10 years ago. I thought i would be like my parents and already have a family and a job and a life, but i find myself still in school, single and i work at Michael's part time. I wonder where i will be in 10 years. I would hope that at least i will have finished schooling and have a job. It would be nice not to be single anymore, but i am not going to push my luck.

Now that i have that off my chest. I was in toronto for my birthday and mat's birthday. Good times had by all. I also got to see anne and steve. it was sooooooo good and anne is sooooooo preggers. HOLY TOODLES! She looks great, i am sad i couldn't have spent more time with her and steve.
I am now back in Peterborough (gack) and procrastinating typing up a short paper. maybe i should do that and go to sleep, sleep is soooooooo good!

The Biggest PomPom Ever

I do believe i have created the biggest pompom ever! ok maybe not the biggest, but pretty darn close. I will add pictures in a minute. The pompom is attached to a hat for Lee (guy from class). I was informed earlier that this particular pompom is going to start some sort of pompom war, well more of a debate on who's pompom is bigger his or Chelsea's pompom. I will keep you all informed, and as it is late and i have class early, oh and the person wearing the hat is Michelle my roommate...

...The next day! So i gave the hat to Lee and he said he loved it, but was totally self conscious of just how big the pompom actually was. So he attempted to trim it, and failed. I was just informed that he butchered it and cut the whole thing off. And so the giant pompom is dead! It is a sad day!

It seems that i am to "understand wood"

"Understanding Wood" the name of one of my new text books. i some how feel dirty owning this book, i don't know why. but if the title isn't enough the first line of the book is, "Wood comes from trees." somehow i think that this term is going to be an "interesting" one. The best part is that i still have Fridays off. but of course i work for most Fridays oh well rent needs to be paid.

I am coming to hate peterborough more and more. It is not a city that endears itself to me and it makes me feel like less of a person for living here even thought it is for school. I somehow think that i am going to be snubbed in my field for taking the course here. That is the feeling i have, but am reassured by many that i am wrong, as it is one of 2 places to take the course, other being a 3 year masters course at queens.

I am being forced to the gym at lest 2 times a week. When i say "forced" i don't really mean that, as i agreed to go of my own free will, but have gym buddies that remind me that i said i would and the glorious guilt sets in and I go. we will see how long this lasts.

Christmas was a drunken good time, I wish I had had longer at home, I miss my family and I miss waterloo. I miss my friends of which i am neglecting to call or write which makes me a bad friend. I would like to say in my defence that i get so depressed that all i want to do is curl up in a ball and sleep which is usually the outcome. I wish i had the strength of character to be on the ball all the time. Many people here have commented that i am a Ball of energy and bubbly all the time. I wish that were true.

Anyways, it is the beginning of another school term and I am already behind in my readings, probably because i can not take my text book seriously. The new classes look interesting, i have had two of 6 we shall see if the rest are going to be alright or not.

On that note, i am off to bed, sleep is good, it seems it is the only thing good at the moment.

2 weeks left in the term

Soooooooo tired.
i cannot wait till the term is over, but to get there i have to go through hell week, with more assignments and tests than i can count on both hands :(
I think i am going to spend some time after hell week and figure out how to put pictures on this blog thing. I would love to show you the progress i have done since i started this course. I am much more excited about the metals in this course than the ceramics. It will be interesting to see how i feel after we do textiles and organic materials.
I am starting to get slightly excited about Christmas, but only because i get to go home. Christmas is still dead to me, because i work in retail. I feel more and more like Charlie Brown. I still cannot understand how Christmas has turned into this crazy time when people go temporarily insane, and this is excepted by society. People are "allowed" to turn in to greedy, bitchy, stuck up, rude and shallow people and no one says a thing. Isn't that the opposite of what Christmas is suppose to be?

I get so angry at what this holiday has become!!!!!!!!!!!

On a lighter note we made a snowman the other day, it seems collage students do not appreciate snowmen as he was kicked in and stomped on within a couple of hours. so sad, Clyde had no chance.

I am sad now, i am going to go to bed, i hope everyone else is more happy than i am about this holiday.

No Longer Homeless!!

I am not longer Homeless!!!
So excited, i am now living in an apartment with Michelle from school. i have 2 thats right 2 closets! how cool is that. rent is slightly higher than the old place, but it is so much better for my mental health. Now all i have to work on is not feeling like i want to sleep all the time. I hope it is not mono. i would be sooooooooooo mad if it was. I at least want to have kissed someone to have gotten it. but alas i am as single as ever.

On and even cooler note, i get to clean and put back together Mayan pottery, dating somewhere about 900AD. how cool is that! i am excited. who would have thought i would be this excited over really old pottery. I will admit it i am such a nerd, i know and i accept this fact. At the moment i am treating an iron pot, it was covered in what looked like burnt cheese, but really was some sort of caked on goo. Oh and i am starting documentation on a silver trophy circa 1924.

sorry for the nerding out, i get caught up in things some times. oh i also had to do a photo documentation project. i really need my own camera, and not a crappy point and click one either. oh well maybe it will be an OSAP thing. but we will see if i can afford that after i pay people back.

time to get back to the essay on fish glue,

Later!

Squatting at Chelsea's

Squatting is fun! it is like a really long sleepover. i am excited about getting into a new place and not overstaying my welcome here. I am so glad about getting out of that crazy house, but am slightly worried about the chaos affecting my school work! ok i have to go, brain is broke again!
