Yogurt breast.

Did my final overnight last night. And it killed. I didn’t bother doing much, I sat in the back and chatted with the baker and did the crossword that was in the paper (what is a positively charged electrode, four letters?!).

I fell asleep in the staff room at one point. Ended up kind of falling off the chair and scared myself awake.

So what have I been up to? (Because apparently people actually enjoy being filled in on my interesting life? I’ll just assume it’s because they’ve been away from me for months and they’ve forgotten how boring I am.) Spending a lot of time at my new home. I now officially live at Dave’s and by officially I mean that I say I do but I really don’t.

They make me very happy (they being my "roomies"). Even Schrödinger. Oh, you haven’t met Schrödinger Prime? Let me introduce you:
I hate cats. I am in love with this cat. She eats your heart with her cuteness and then throws it back up in rainbow form.

So yeah, other than hanging out with the third generation S'ville family I haven't been doing too much. Well, working. And knitting. And being sooo excited for this coming semester that I want to puke.

Yeah, that's all.

We need new hobbies.

Note to self: friends have ADD and suck at staying still.

Environmentally friendly knit.

Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart with my Mom. I can only handle that store when I have a list, nothing irks me more than browsing through The Wal Marts. On my list yesterday was "bacon" and "multi-coloured yarn". I was really tempted to just drop my list on the ground so someone else could find it and be all who is this amazing carnivorous knitter?!

I resisted.

So I got to the yarn section and started searching. I had no idea what colours I was looking for, only that I wanted one with at least two shades. I searched to no avail, until I noticed up on the tops of the shelves (where they keep these weird milk-crate things filled with extra balls) a striking colour pattern.

So of course using my go-go-Gadget arms I reach up and fling it down. And not only is it the most beautiful colour combo ever (gold, navy and violet), but it is eco-friendly wool! I knew automatically it was going to be a ridiculous amount of money but I did not even care because it was perfect.

Anyway, I didn't realize until I got out of there that it was only $2.75 a ball! Which is like the cheapest ball of wool I ever purchased, so I'm hoping when I go back there will be more for me to purchase. I'm thinking of mastering the mitten. Or the toque, I haven't decided yet.

The moral of this story is that I've started a new scarf and it's beautiful and eco-friendly (made in Canada wool too!) and will only cost me $2.75. You should all get on the knitting band wagon.

Toronto explodes.

There is something absolutely frightening about an entire city screaming together into the night. Watch until at least two minutes.

Coxswain.

Let's see.

Yesterday was Friday, aka Regatta day (which for the record, has to be the dumbest holiday EVER), today is Saturday. I have finally managed to distinguish which day of the week it is.

I put my notice in at work yesterday. I have decided that working there during school will kind of conflict with my classes (12pm-5pm MWF, hehe). Basically I am too excited to get back to late nights/mornings. 5:00am wake up calls in the summer, WTF?

Speaking of classes, although I can't change it on Saturdays (because MUN's website doesn't believe in Saturdays?), I have decided to take another MARLAND class this year. :):):)

How you ask? He is offering a new class (for him anyway) this semester!!!! And it's a research/writing class (something I actually need) so it's not like I'm going just for him (I would though). Do you think he'll notice the whole five semesters in a row thing?

Probably, eh.

So I'm going to try and play this down a whole lot since I know there is a certain someone aching to see this movie, but Allison, her roommates and I went to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 last evening. And it was good... really good.

If you read the books and loved them or saw the first movie and loved it, you will love this one... a lot. And if you both read the books and saw the first movie and loved them, you will really love this one... a lot.

That's about as nonchalant as I can get.
