Annoying.

Gah, so I found I have another pet peeve.
Girls who were those (UGLY) Ugg Boots in the Fall... THEY ARE FOR THE SNOW. That's really annoying.

Oh, and if you are incredibly overweight, do not wear leggings. It's just plain gross. Seriously, ew.

Perfectly in Sync.

There was something that happened this week that made me really appreciate silent communication.
I was walking down the middle of campus right when class got out. I was walking towards the bus on the other side of campus when I realized the gridlock that campus becomes when it's busy. Thousands of students walk in all directions but never run into each other - when someone walks towards them, they never have a full-frontal crash, but pass by each other with plenty of space between them. No matter what direction, or what speed, each person subconsciously weaves through "traffic" gracefully. There is obviously those few times when someone really is not paying attention and does, in fact, crash into someone else. But on the whole, each person is communicating with thousands of other people during their walks across campus.
This idea doesn't work quite the same when everyone is walking in a straight line - this becomes more like the traffic on the road. But there is something beautiful about the unspoken understanding of you and the strangers that walk across campus.
I truly enjoy this, especially when I adjust my step just the tiniest bit so I just barely miss the back of their heels.

I guess this is added to my list of Life's Free Enjoyments, which already include:
- Watching the stars
- Skipping stones
- etc.

The thing about Life's Free Enjoyments is that everyone has their own, and really when you think about it, it's hard to explain why it is.

YAHOOOOO!

So, today, this morning, we booked our tickets to CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!
Three weeks tomorrow and we will be on a plane down to warm beaches and skimpy bikinis.
Finally, finally, finally. We have only been talking about it for 2 months. The time has come and I couldn't be more excited. It is going to be an amazing adventure for almost a week. They say you learn alot about someone by the way they travel, and I have been to Montreal with Brent and we may have been frustrated with me reading french street names and directions when I don't know ANY french, but other than that (so far) I have found we travel pretty well together. This trip will be a little more intense because we will be sitting in a plane for 8 hours together, but I think the excitement of finally going somewhere neither of us have ever been will be one for the record books.
I enjoy when things fall together perfectly, or in our case we fit perfectly.
I am excited for the future months, I think there will be alot of fun had.

Now, I have to go for a jog after eating perogies for dinner... because apparently... I AM GOING TO CALIFORNIA IN 3 WEEKS WOOO!

Ps: Thank you OSAP for giving me $1200 of free money this semester, which I am using to pay for my trip and all my phone bills for the rest of the year. :D
How wonderful life is, now that you are in the world.

Back to School.

So I am sitting in my room in Guelph one day before school starts not knowing what courses I am taking this semester. This in turn makes me have no idea what the rest of the year hold, LET ALONE my future. Fun, fun times.

Other than that, apparently the rumors are true - poison ivy is a bitch (and gross to look at). No more adventures in the wilderness. Poor, poor Brent and his bottom.
