Bleh, in a weird mood this morning. And really tired! Even though I had tons of sleep. Which is v. annoying. Taxes are another thing that annoy me. I didn't file my income tax when everyone else did because I was out of the country, so now that I am back I have to deal with this. And found out this since I don't pay EI or something like that at the Estey I have to pay a bunch of taxes! GAH! Not fair. I wish I would have known this, but everyone was just like - 'Ohhh, you won't need to worry about filing your taxes until you get home because you won't have to pay anything.' WRONG! Grrrr. Would like to crawl into bed for some more zzzz's and forget about it. But no. Must work.

Well. There are a lot of fun things happening these days, but I can't really think of anything I feel like writing about. Need to get out of this blah mood and write something later.

Sort of going crazy right now. My stomach is in bunches. Is that even the right spelling? I'm not even sure right now. Cannot focus on this. And I just want to leave work anddd, I don't even know what I would do anyways. Might as well stay here.

Gah. Back to being bored at work. Had one semi-productive day yesterday...wait, what am I talking about! I actually have work today...I'm just at the point that I don't want to do it because it is so boring. I'm frustrated that I am not doing any research projects and we don't have the TILMA project this year to keep me busy. And Bill is gone on vacation until the end of the month...

On a brighter note, my planner has never looked more tasteful! Highlighter drawings are a thing of the past, I bought many coloured pens and they help me to occupy the time every once in a while. And I continue to learn about the world and sort of stay on top of current events. And I am getting a lot of reading done this summer, which I LOVE!

Something else that I love? Girlie movie nights! Which lucky for me we are having one tonight! Going to see the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, which I am pretty pumped about. Really feel like I could use a girlie, cheesy night tonight. Love it.

So, exciting news! Mel and I are planning on starting our own blog in the fall! :) We think that it is going to be AMAZING! I mean, come on - we are doing it! At least for the first couple months June and Al are going to be around, so we suspect there will be a lot of ridiculous happenings. And just June's fridge with be enough to write a couple blogs about. We think we will try to expand from time to time and branch out into Video blogs, but we'll see what happens. V. excited about it!

Could go for an afternoon nap right about now. Quite seriously. I think I had a bad sleep last night. I woke up completely exhausted - not a great feeling. Mel and I went to the fair last night, and that could have something to do with it. T'was good fun, the fair was! We caused our usual mischief and made our usual amount of scenes - it was grandiose! We of course catalouged our night through pictures, which I will be putting up on Facebook soon. Get excited!

A swim or a laze by the pool would also be excellent right now. Can't wait to move in! May be sooner rather than later - Auntie and Gordon are possibly going through rocky bit (Gordon is crazy psycho person about 50% of the time lately and my Aunt doesn't know what to do about it - to be quite honest I am a tad bit scared of him and avoid contact as much as possible) so I'm not sure if I should take off and give them space to figure things out or if I should stick around till the end of the month to be there for moral support for Auntie. Tricky tricky.

Alright, might read a bit in the economic textbook. Bleh. Toodle-ooo!

Feeling tired at work today, took a night bus fr. Calgary last night, got in at 5:20 and then decided to just come to work instead of going home first. In a weird mood I think, probably it has a lot to do with the lack of sleep thing. On the way I had some nice little sleeps but coming back last night I definitely did not :(

I also managed to slice the top of my foot open on my camera case on the bus last night, graceful, I know. This time I was smarter however and brought lots of sweaters on with me (I have a problem where I need to be quite warm to sleep)...it wasn't ideal, but better. Next time there may be a blanket... hahah.

Looks like it is going to be a gorgeous day out there today! I have a feeling I may miss a lot of it, since my goal when I get home is to have a bit of a nap. Butttttt, who knows, I might enjoy some of it anyway. Okay, should get back to work now...

BAHHHH! Bored At Work. Pt I

This is Day...well we will say about 3 that I am spending in absolute crazed boredom at work. Bill is missing (well by missing I mean I think on vacation, but don't want to sound like I don't know where he is so I haven't asked anyone...) and I have completely ran out of things to do here. However, here are some of the things that I have done in his absence: facebook (obviously), msn, reading a book, movie watching, learning about the Spanish Civil War, reading The Economist (one of the only magazines in our office), reading the news online, writing letters, writing songs (well, sad attempts at this), sneaking out for coffee with friends, drawing flowers in my day planner and colouring them in with highlighter, posting photos of my trip, para-sailing, etc, etc. Okay, I may have just made the last one up, but it would be a fun alternative to the nothing that I have been doing!

Annual Sidewalk Sale is going on currently downtown and thought I would take a walk around there while the guys were gone for lunch. Not a whole lot to see, but the weather was much nicer than this morning (picture dark foreboding clouds, large masses of rain, the whole works) so it was good to escape the office. However, I walked past Lululemon (which is always WAY more fun to say with a crazed french accent...at least I think so) and they had a huge tent pitched with tons of sale racks beneath. And TONS of people nearly physically attacking the racks. I walked through toying with the idea that I might find a nice little workout top, but then sense snapped in and I remembered that I detest this shop and did NOT want to become one of those people. Not that I hate people that shop there, I just don't think the shop is for me...paying outrageous prices for workout clothes that absolutely everyone else you pass walking down the street is wearing. So I calmly walked away from the tent and the huge line protruding out of the shop door and felt much better. (:

The weekend is looking like it has the possibility for fun, PJ is heading in for the weekend (and for all of those who aren't aware, that would be Presbyterian Jen) and I've been practicing up the cat dance for her. If she could only learn to love it instead of absolutely detest it then we would obviously discontinue it...but where would the fun be in that? She has someone subletting her place for the summer (which Kent affectionately nicknamed 'Studpants') and I am really hoping that we can find some entertainment of any kind from him. Roomie (last years version) was hilarious! Always with her awkwardness and absolutely pointless random facts...it would keep us laughing for days! Well except for when Jen told her to water the plant ONCE a week and she decided that meant once a DAY and it sort of ruined her floor...that wasn't as funny.

I am hoping that Dutch Blitz will be on the agenda sometime this weekend because I am in serious withdrawal! I haven't played since before I left for Sweden...and that is a long time! I am going to be heavily out of practice...but I suspect I will still be able to beat Mel and Liesel.

What else? Any other thoughts? Oh. I've been drooling over cameras online the past few days (in my work frenzy) and if I could I would be getting a new one in a heartbeat! SLR is definitely the next step...and I think that I am going to stick with the Canon because my last two cameras (not counting my 'for fun' camera I bought at Christmastime) were Canon and both were fantastic. My friends have laughed a little at me since I currently own two (point five, but they don't actually know about the '.5') but I am really getting into the photography. So I got the '.5' last night from my sister, an old school Pentax that used to be my Gran's and am going to spend a few weeks fiddling with that and learning a bit more. Yay!

Okay. I think I will take a break from this for a while and find something else to do. But I'm sure I'll be back with more thoughts soon.

3, 2, 1, BUNGEE!!

Wowwwww, bungee jumping was the craziest thing that I have ever done in my life, what a crazy feeling that was! Although I was a lot less nervous than I thought that I was going to be, I think maybe I was mostly excited to give it a try!

When it was Shan and my turn the clouds in the sky all cleared up and the weather was beautiful for our jump! (Afterwards the clouds came back and it started drizzling...) The crane didn't actually look like it was all that high up from the ground, but when you got up there you actually realized how tall it was... you could see everything! It was sooo amazing!

The jump was probably the weirdest feeling I have ever had. You put your feet over the edge, the guy counts down and you spread your arms and just fall...and just keep falling, getting faster and faster...and then it is over before you even know it!

I am not sure if I would do it again, stomach was a bit upset afterwards, but I am really glad that I gave it a try!

Beautiful day outside right now...but I technically should be studying...but I just can't! My brain will not focus...it is terrible. Lots of things on the brain I guess. How annoying! Heading to Norway in less than a week, I am really excited about that! Should be a really great trip I think, full of even some more adventures...wahoooo!

Bungee jumping tomorrow! How exciting! It is raining outside right now though, so I hope that this rain goes away before then! This is something that I have always wanted to do, I can't believe I am actually doing it! :)

Booked most of my trips in June with Shan yesterday! There was an amazing sale on Ryan Air yesterday, some kind of summer sale...I think we probably got 4 flights for about 50 or 60 euros in total! I am quite happy about it! Here are some of the places we are traveling to: Amsterdam, Dublin, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Paris, and Barcelona! I am so pumped about it, although I still can't even think about leaving here! And there is still the stress of how I am going to get my bags to London, grrrrrr. I hate it! I wish that they could just magically arrive there on their own! Sadly, this isn't a solution and I need to come up with an actually reasonable one...

Been feeling like we are on vacation here this week, I only had one class the entire week! It has been great, even though the last two days have been rainy and blah like. Probably I should go and eat some lunch now though, or continue working...
