Wow! Two weeks I've been back at "home" in positively balmy Ottawa, and I've finally returned to my "real" home out here in Edmonton. It's good to be back - funny how your life sorta goes on hold when visiting family.
I hope everyone had a good christmas and new years - mine were both suuuuuper laid back. I got to see loads of friends I hadn't seen in years, which obviously rocked hard-core. It was like a temporary escape from the reality of this immense thesis that I'm supposed to be finishing up. So from now until mid-May, it is very probable I will have almost no life so that I can get this thing done. It's going to be brutal, but at the end of it I will never have to do school ever again. Then I can get one of those "real jobs" that I hear so much about! Just like what shearzone just got down in Calgary, but more field-job-like, and hopefully somewhere fun like sweeden or australia or something (I just applied for a job in Sweeden - wish me luck!)
In other news, my rent goes up by $190 at the end of this month. Stupid albertan "free enterprise"... how can people afford shit like that? If was going to be here later than May, I'd have to move!
Happy New Years to you all!

So your having a get together this evening eh? To bad I got beyond drunk last night. I wasn't planning on drinking, but then one mini-jug of rum and coke later I decided to have another... I feel like poop today. Shwaun was creepy last night, and I am pretty pissed off at him right now. He was going around and grabbing a bunch of guys 'tits' from behind, which was fine... but then he did it to me. I was like WTF!!! so not acceptable. I feel violated. [member name= Olver] had just left to so I didn't have him there to get mad at him. Due to his creepiness last night Walter and I walked Bronwyn home so he wouldn't go creepy on her (she was super duper drunk) and then Walter walked me home. It was kinda funny when he tried to drop walter off and said he would get me and Bronwyn home... We were all like no! I told him Walter and I have a deal that he gets me home even though I live further away, which is sorta true, kinda unspoken usually, but last night there was no way I was letting Walter NOT walk me home. Ahh, so that is my rant of the day. I think I am going to tell Shwaun now that I am sober how unacceptable that was, and how upset it made me. I kinda feel like a tool for getting upset over it, but I am upset so I guess I should deal with it right?
In happier thoughts, I heard last night that you are coming to roundup?!? Me too!! When are you flying there and where are you staying? and when are you flying back?
Let me know, so we can hang out and stuff. Hope to see you around soon. I only have class tues/thurs but i should be around as I have TONS of work to do on my thesis.
