There is No Place like Home

For the weekend I am back home, spendin' time with the family. And it is awesome:)

I should mention my family and I always have a great time together:)

Sometimes instead of going out with friends, I will stay in. And all six of us will sit down around the table and play a game of cards, like clue, or phase 10, shang-hi rummy. Or something of the kind. When we were younger, we would always get upset or tired if we never won or stayed up rather late, so back then the games were usually cut short. But now-a-days, we will sit the whole game out and will always end up laughing at one thing or another. We always have a good time:)

Not to mention, it's nice to come home and have a home cooked meal (because when I make it, it always tastes different) and I get to sleep in my own bed. It's where I grew up. It's just always good to be home.
I feel like I get to rest and relax. Yes, I help out with dishes and cleaning up around the house, but it's chores and nice to help out at the same time.

Lots of hugs and kisses and you can tell my parents are glad to have my sister and I back from University. My brothers are happy too, but my parents are just glad to have my sis and I around.

Home: is where the heart is. And I wouldn't have it any other way:)

E-mails you don't receive on time

What would I give to have checked my email last night at 10:00?? I don't know. All I know is that today I found out that an email had been sent out last night and it said that we (architecture students) should bring our laptops to my one class. And do you think I checked my email at 10:00pm last night, NO. I had checked it earlier in the evening with no important messages to report. So I was one of 2 or 3 students who did not bring their computer to class, and I felt terrible. If only the email had been sent out sooner, then all would be well and I wouldn't have looked like such an idiot:(

But I plucked right along and worked along side a neighbour, however it felt strange. I guess from now on I will have to check my email as soon as I get home from school, and right before I go to bed. And I thought I checked it regularly enough as it was, but I guess not:(

I know this is about me complaining about the latest and fastest means of communication, but sometimes, I wish profs would just come right out and tell us what they want us to bring and then I could make a note in my notebook. I mean the email was a last minute thing. Ugh it just makes me slightly frustrated. Oh well. It is over and done with now, something to learn from. Always check your emails right before you go to bed:) lesson learned for the day.

2011

Happy 2011!!
How weird is that to write on the page on all my notes, 2011? I keep putting 2010 because for the last year that is what I have been writing, oh well, I guess over time it will come naturally:)

But other than that, nothing really exciting has happened to be this year so far. Okay well I did have my first New Year's Kiss, and that was a good way to start the new year ;) The story is, I was at a four day architecture conference which goes on every year around new years. It's a gathering of a bunch of Universities from Canada, United States and a couple other international countries. And they have a ball on New Year's night. So I ended up meeting a boy on December 31st at the ball, we danced and shared a New Year's kiss together. And then after that night, never spoke or saw him again. He was cute, don't get me wrong, but me being Canadian and him American, nothing was ever going to happen, which is fine with me.

And now classes start tomorrow and that means back to reading textbooks that have cost me a fortune, late nights, not sleeping enough, and partying with friends:) I can already feel that this semester will be the best one ever:) however in a couple weeks, I will probably be complaining about my full workload and no social life:( YAY totally can't wait! (sarcasm)

Did I mention that I have even yet to give myself a New Year's Resolution! I have been that out of it. Last year I think it was that I would find a boyfriend - like that happened, but I did go on a couple dates. Maybe this year, it will be to be myself, I will be open to anything that comes my way. Maybe I will try something new, travel somewhere, and maybe just maybe fall in love. I guess I will have to wait and see:)

So Happy 2011 everyone, may it be the year of everything you hoped for:)
