Now. Tomorrow is my last official day with my class and let’s just face facts. I’m not mentally ready to let go of my little burritos. Nor am I capable of even writing about them. (Whoa. I just said ‘nor’? Who do I think I am, Charles Dickens?) I’m going to work hard to not cry tomorrow. My ugly cry sounds like a pair of tone deaf whales …READ MORE
February 16th, 2009 in AHHHHHHHHHHH!, and now you might know everything, i am slowly going crazy, i complain because I care, i do not like movies starring "The ROCK", it's ironic because I'm Canadian, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, oh dear, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., seriously, the title says it all, things I don't say outloud, today has been crummy, today i am not funny, tomorrow will be better, when it doesn't go my way So, today was the worst Presidents Day ever. Wait, I don’t technically get to celebrate Presidents Day, but my province had it’s own holiday but it doesn’t sound as cool. As some of you have already read (thanks twitter!

I love you, holidays, i do not like movies starring "The ROCK", i love fragment sentences, let's not talk about how long this took, politics, the less i worry the happier i am, wasting time This is my second attempt at this post.
My first one was long winded and filled with deep thoughts on traveling and exploring and (wait for it… ) finding yourself. I swear. It had so many mentions of the word “journey” it could have been a script for a reality television show. There may have even been some Mark Twain action going on (see? I told you. Long-winded. I have it on good authority that it’s impossible to write a post that involves Twain and have it NOT be long winded), but I had to delete it.
Why?
Because you …READ MORE
It’s impossible to immerse yourself in a new job, to live it, breathe it, and not find yourself changed by it.
The proof of this change came last night over dinner….
While sitting with friends (some old, some new), the cute guy two seats down from me put down his napkin and said that he couldn’t eat another bite of his sandwich because he was full.
I promptly replied “See if you can eat two more bites. Then you can be done.”
It wasn’t until I looked up from my meal and heard everyone laughing did I remember that I …READ MORE
