SUPER EXCITING NEWS OF AWESOME

THE AWESOMEST THING HAPPENED!
I'll spare you the caps-lock, but seriously, this is mostly being screamed. I've been doing this to people all day. (My poor roommates...)

I GOT HIRED TO WRITE A BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that so exciting?!?!?! An entertainment site company in Vancouver hired me to write a book they want to turn into a movie. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! I'm a freelance ghostwriter! I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO BE PAID TO WRITE!!!

I can't even believe this!!

What have I been up to?

Not updating my blog, for one. I have so much reading to do now! Which is actually super great, but takes a ton of time. I calculated it for David Copperfield- I could read about a page a minute, so it took kind of forever to get through the whole book. (900 pages. Seriously).

Now, we're reading the Moonstone, which is like the first-ever detective novel, and really good!

For big news in sports:
WE WON OUR HOCKEY GAME! My team's never won before! I'm so proud of us :D

Also, won a game in Ultimate! And we had to play outdoors, in the rain, for two hours. It was so, so cold.

Not much else going on.. just tons of reading, it's really cold outside, 3 game days a week... it's all really fun :D

!!!!!!!!!!

I'M GOING TO SCREAM ABOUT MY NEW CLASSES AND YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN OKAY??
I'll also make a compromise - you be patient, and I'll do the screaming in lowercase.

1. Shakespeare and Renaissance
This! Class! AH! It is so interesting! Every single class I learn something absolutely fascinating about Henry V (currently reading this play) that I hadn't picked up on. I had no idea Shakespeare was so complex! We talked about how Henry is a Machiavellian figure, and discuss his actions and values and everything, and how he changes throughout the play, and I! Just! Love! This! Class!
2. Old English Lit.
I didn't expect this class to be interesting, I admit. The prof is this upper-middle-aged guy who just looks like he'll be boring. But then every now and then he says stuff that's really funny! He was talking about how some group of people appealed to another to help defend their city, and the new people stayed and "they wrote to their friends and said 'we found thsi new land and the people are defenseless- it would be just marvelous if you'd join us!'" Anyhow, I found that hilarious. Also, he makes all the history and stuff easy to follow. And it's super interesting- today, we talked about just how reliable any of it can be, when it was all written down, and all the writing was done by the Church, seeing as they were the only ones that knew how to write. So! Interesting!
3. Sociology
I'm definitely more into psychology, and not so much group-sociology-stuff, but this class is still interesting, and the prof is really nice and funny! Also, we're doing a bunch of psychology right now. Win!
4. Victorian Novels
I love this class! SO MUCH I CAN BARELY HANDLE IT. We're reading David Copperfield- which is such a great book! I'm only 600 pages in, still have 300 to go (BTW, I started it on Friday. Impressive, non?) and it's so interesting! The characters! Anyways, this prof is also super nice. She was all "it's so weird, right now I don't recognise any of you.. but by the end of semester, it'll be like you're all my kids!!"
5. German
Same prof as last semester, who was super nice. And I don't have a schedule conflict with ball hockey! YAY!


Also, sidenote, I had a backpack today - usually this semester, I have a really cute Canucks purse thingy that I use - because I was going to the grocery store and stuff. (No Frills! SO CHEAP WOW)  Anyways, it made me feel like a high school student! I can't believe I graduated two years ago! Also - I'M TURNING TWENTY IN THIRTY THREE DAYS!! I'm pretty severely flipping out about that.
(Dude! Twenty!) 

Also, ball hockey and Ultimate start this weekend!
And I think being in three different sports pretty officially makes me a jock. I like to think I'm the coolest person in my department. (And hey, we all know that's true).

Also, another crazy thing! My skates were TWO SIZES TOO BIG! I had to get new ones. The guy at the store was pretty mystified. (Also, he asked me if they were MY skates - no, dude, they're my boyfriend's, that's why I'm standing here explaining to you exactly what's wrong with them. Seriously. But it's okay, he turned out to be perfectly nice).

here's a picture out my window: also, I didn't realise I have an ocean view! Weird. I'm more interested in the mountains, to be honest.

THIS IS SO EXCITING

I'm going home tomorrow!!!!!

(that pretty much sums it up)

VERY IMPORTANT NEWS BULLETIN

I'm going to be number 29 on my ball hockey and ultimate teams!!

No seriously, that was the very important news. #29 like Aaron Rome! WOOO!!

Also, the captain was all, "we might even win more, since we've got a lot of people like you on the team, who play hockey."
Yeah, that's right - I'm gonna be a super allstar on this team!!

Also, I made these:

And I hate flashcards. But I figured that, well, in ten years of French, I've never given 'em a go, so why not?
I know why not now. IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPER LAME.

On a sidenote, there is no snow and I am disappointed. I know I grew up without snow, and blah blah blah, but I had it last year and NOW I AM DISAPPOINTED!
(This may be passive aggressive anger diverted from being so very pale now. Well, whatevs)

I think I make too many lists

You may be wondering what on Earth I've been doing with all my time lately. Classes ended on the 2nd, and even then, I only had one class that day. That gives me exactly 18 days to take 4 finals. To reiterate: I have about 6 hours worth of exams to write. AND I HAVE 18 DAYS.
(Also, of course two of those would be on the same exact day. Do you know what the chances of that are? POINT THREE PERCENT.)
(Ironically, I learned that math from one of the classes I have a final for)


Anyways. Besides studying (which takes up roughly 80jillion percent of my time), this is what I do with my 18 DAYS OF UTTER BOREDOM AND EMPTY-CAMPUS-NESS
1. I've cleaned my room like 6 times. Unfortunately, it gets messy again a day later.
2. I just did laundry. (Ignore the fact that this is the first time in like, 3 weeks. I have a lot of clothes, it takes a while to actually have to do laundry out of necessity)
3. I made cake pops with my friend!
4. Hmm... I've also watched a ton of South Park
5. And Nip/Tuck, once. Won't be making that mistake again for a while. (Because - EEEWWWW!!!)
6. Hm. Hm. Hm. I've read a ton of blogs and stuff.
7. Did I mention I've seen every single episode of South Park ever made? Every. Single. One. And they're only twenty minutes each, so that didn't exactly take up much time.
8. I got my term paper for English back today - I got a CANADIAN A-. I am SO SO HAPPY WITH THAT!! Like, I told my friend, and she was all "...WOW..."
9. I went Christmas shopping..? Got like. One thing.
10. Tried to get skates... and the sales guy talked me out of it. I'm still kinda confused about that one.
11. I got an extra point on a test, and half point on the scientific reasoning midterm. He's really not a very good grader.
11. If you haven't noticed by now, this isn't a very long list.
12. And a lot of things on it are pretty boring.
13. And only took up about 30 minutes each, tops.

I'm basically bored out of my mind at this point.  SIX MORE DAYS!!

PS - I have a new mission in life: GETTING AUTOGRAPHED PICTURES FROM NHL PLAYERS!! Apparently you can send something and 3 months later, it gets signed! Possibly.

PPS- Reason # 875 that French grammar is super hard: They have an "adverb". It modifies a verb. For example, the word "vite" is an adverb. (I guess that means... quickly? Know what's super weird? I've started to forget the translations of words, and just know them like... if you see a car going fast, you just think, vite. WEIRD RIGHT?) Anyhow, know what else is an adverb? Let us not forget that it's adVERB. "Very" is an adverb. THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
"That car is fast" has an adverb. "That car is very" doesn't make sense. SO DON'T CALL "VERY" AN ADVERB. It's modifying an ADJECTIVE. It's an... adadjective. Or whatever. AUIOEFSWEUXPCU FRENCH MAKES NO SENSE SOMETIMES 

Things That Are Super Lame About Finals

1. That they exist
2.That I can have two on the same day! Who even does that?!?!
3. Also, they give you two and a half hours for each one. TWO AND A HALF HOURS. It takes an HOUR to write. What are they allowing time for, people who want to read it backwards?!


I have a French exam on Friday, and then English on Monday. SO SUPER EXCITING*






*not really.


Also, here's a slightly more interesting/less whiney list!
1. Canadian retail is funny! I went to buy new skates, and the salesguy talked me out of new skates and into coming back to get my skates fixed. Cool dude, but how do they stay in business? "Oh, that? You don't want that. Seriously. Here's a way to spend like, twenty bucks. Go throw a party with the two hundred you just saved! We'll just not make money today. It's cool."
2. There's a new Taylor Swift song! Or video. Or whatever. It's supposedly on that Speak Now album, but we have it, and it so wasn't on that album. Also, today's her birthday, I think?
3. My birthday is in 62 days. I felt you all should know that. I'm going to be TWENTY! NOT A TEENAGER TWENTY!
4. Also, there's a lot of ink on my fingers from that whiteboard thingy I have on my closet door.

I am quite displeased

LOOK! LOOKLOOKLOOK!
Do you see how PALE I am?!?!?!

The injustice of it all.

(I mean, the amount of 'Cullen-pale' jokes I get!)

LOOK!!

We MADE those!! Most amazing cake-pops ever. Of all time.

Things are EXCITING. Like ALL THE TIME.

I can't help it if my life is 100% exciting 200% of the time.

First up, in sports news: I am so excited for next season!! (Or semester. As most people call it. The loserfaces). So, I've got my hockey team (We're the Werewolves. Because I thought, what's an animal that could eat anything? I want something FEAR INSPIRING). and the early-morning hockey, and now the Ultimate team (Team Rocket! haha) AND YESTERDAY I JOINED A BALL HOCKEY TEAM. I'm excited for that, it should really help my stickwork! AND THIS IS SO EXCITING SO I'M SCREAMING IT, MY NEW JERSEY ok not jersey more like t-shirt because not every sport is as cool as hockey NUMBER IS 80. It's ok, beacuse it still has an 8 in it. And 8 is MY NUMBER.

School stuff: Only a few more days of classes! More like one, because I only have one class on Friday. YESYESYES.

Crazy technology stuff: Mom got a Blackberry! AND SO I CAN BBM HER ALL THE TIME CONSTANTLY NONSTOP. I am so excited. (But really sad I'm not rightright there to help her learn how to use it :(that's sad.)

We had a presentation for linguistics, and we bribed people who came by our poster with candycanes.

 This presentation took place in THE LITERALLY MIDDLE OF NOWHERE OMIGOD:

Seriously, if you ignore the pavement and ceramic pot, it's like a scene out of the barren tundra wastelands of northern Canada.

This is our SUPER SMART SOUNDING poster on neurolinguistics. NEUROLINGUISTICS! Yes, I am that smart.

SEE?! That! Is on campus! A WASTELAND, I TELL YOU. (Again, ignore the houses, the nicely cut grass, and the fact that there's a soccer field approximately half a meter to the right and left of the frame).

Also, here is a list of super awesome things:
1. My English prof's office hours! I've seen her twice in the last week for help on my term paper
2. My term paper! It's genius. About twelfth night being Carnival on a grand scale, and role reversals proving that traditional roles are non-effective. (I sound so smart)

Sorry, I got bored of the list.
Also, Christmas is coming up! But I'm kinda not looking forward to that, because of the stupid kidney procedure thing. Except I'll get to see my favourite nurse EVER IN THE UNIVERSE, so that's better.

I'm going to go to the gym! HOW SUPER EXCITING.
(It's been a caps-lock-palooza for my last few blog posts).

Didn't end up going to the gym - went for a run. For ten minutes. Because after about 5, I couldn't feel my fingers anymore. (Or legs).SO COLD

Also, I have a popsicle.

Outrageous news!

I SAW THIS AND I AM SO MAD.


http://www.rollingstone.com/music/photos/readers-poll-the-10-worst-songs-of-the-1980s-20111006
That is an article by the Rolling Stone people. About the 10 worst songs of the 80's. There are so many things wrong with this.

1. WORST SONGS OF THE 80S DOES NOT EXIST. EVERY SINGLE ONE IS AMAZING.
2. Yes, admittedly, it was picked by readers, and the editors say they don't agree with most of it- BUT THAT MEANS THE READERS ARE STUPID
3. You know what's on there? "The Safety Dance." WHY?!?!? THAT IS THE BEST SONG EVER.
4. And you thought that was wrong? The number two song is THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. What is WRONG with these readers?!?!? How can you hate that song. 

And the very worst part about this stupid list? GUESS WHAT THE NUMBER ONE SONG IS. GUESS. If you guessed ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER MADE EVER, and that it was voted the worst by a LOT, then you would be correct. And deeply saddened.


WE BUILT THIS CITY. 

Can you BELIEVE that?!?!?! THAT IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER OF ALL TIME!!
And people hate it! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I was gonna make a list of the best ever 80's songs, but it'd take way too long. SEEING AS THEY ARE ALMOST ALL AMAZING.  

(Also, I don't like versions of this song without the radio announcer part. That's like my favourite part).
Anyways, I know that news must have just ruined your whole entire day, so here is a bunch of good news to make it better.

1. It's sunny outside! I know that only applies to Vancouver specifically, but whatever, be happy for me!
2. This is a very funny video. (Click on the "this").
3. And this is stuck in my head.
4. I keep hearing that Ultimate is THE university sport to play. (It's that one with the frisbees). So I'm joining a team next semester! I have a hard time getting how some people I meet just don't do sports, or anything like exercise. I can understand one or the other - like hating gyms, or not having the time for scheduled games. But both?
On that note, I don't get people that refuse to join teams. It's so fun! I'm on two! And now three! Because it's so awesome! And that's three days I don't have to go to the gym. #BOOM.

 I've got my presentation soon! It's on neurolinguistics, and it's a group project. Fun, right?!

In case you hadn't heard, I'm a genius

NO SERIOUSLY. I'm a GENIUS.
So everyone's been asking for more pictures/ complaining that this blog is made of text, which, although words are my forte (AKA, the thing I am seriously brilliant at!) that just isn't good enough for some people. You want brilliance in literally every aspect of everything! And, well, I applaud your insistence on brilliance! Demand the best! Only accept the best! Exercise your freedom to demand the best! Revel in your freedom! AMERICA! (hahahaha I'm sorry, I couldn't resist). (But I should be a writer of speeches for politicians or something).

Also, I hate getting into political arguments with people! They're pointless! I mean, what does it matter what conclusion we reach sitting in my kitchen? We're not politicians, so it really doesn't matter, and all it does is make people angry! Also, the whole health care debate gets kind of heated. Seeing as it's American vs Canadian system, so it's just such a loaded subject! (I'm not getting into it; my point is that the arguments suck).

Anyways! That wasn't the point! Seriously, I don't know how that even came up. MY POINT WAS THAT I'M BRILLIANT.
Observe:

This is the seriously adorable gelato they had at Whole Foods! YES THAT IS MOVEMBER THEMED GELATO! YESSS! Also, I do love Movember and all, but I'm a little happy it's over. Guys take Movember too literally - I do not dig mustaches. Not at all. I'm totally cool with no-shave-part-of-the-month, but all-out Movember is a liiitle much. Or Novembeard, as I used to hear it called at home. But I'm kinda off the point here.

The point is that this lovely picture is from my Blackberry. And I got it onto Alex (my computer) without the use of a single cable! I am a genius. I uploaded it to my twitter and then downloaded it. AND SERIOUSLY AMN'T I SO SMART FOR HAVING THOUGHT OF THAT.

Also this is the new decorations:

We used to have a super cute tapestry hanging up. And now we have a picture of NYC downtown. I've been there. To that exact spot. I did not particularly like it.
Now it feels like we live in a Macy's catalog.  Whatever; at least my room has TONS of character. Have you seen it?

Yeah. It's awesome. We all need to accept that, and envy it accordingly. :D


Gonna go back to writing my term paper and watching my roommate film her project thing in the kitchen! It's funny :)

updaaate

Sadly, there were no cookies. No ingredients.

BUT I GOT HOT CHOCOLATE AT GROUNDS FOR COFFEE SO EVERYTHING IS GOOD AGAIN!
I am in SUCH a hyper mood, I guess.

What I did last night!!

It was so exciting, it calls for a second blog post in as many days.

So! Last yall heard, I was at a coffee shop, just because. I got some work done on my term paper, but mostly I just did blog stuff. And then! Then K and I went to a SOUTHERN BBQ RESTAURANT. It's basically my favourite place in the whole entire city. A number of exciting things happened here!
1- I had pulled pork and it was amazing
2- it was discovered that their bbq sauce isn't as super amazing as the one I have from home.
3- they had cane cola! that super awesome coke! It was sooooo amaaazingggg
4- K had never had/even heard of hush puppies, and has since discovered that they're this side of amazing
5- Did I mention it was a SOUTHERN restaurant?! South Carolina!

Anyways, this morning I woke up early (well. like ten. Or eleven.) And now I'm going to bake chocolate and pomegranete cookies. I KNOW RIGHT!!

WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW

IF I'M YELLING IT WILL SEEM EXCITING!
(It's okay, I'll stop now)
(I've been yelling all day! And by that, I mean I've been texting J the lyrics to that old song in Top Gun in caps, because I've been scream-singing it in my head all day: You've lost that LOOOOVIIINNNN FEEELIIINNNN!!!)

Anyhow, I'm actually being quiet right now. (I know, right! Hard to believe!)

I'm working on my term paper! And it's not due for a week! I AM SO AHEAD.

See that? That's DARK CHOCOLATE HOT CHOCOLATE!! (I know I said I'd stop screaming. I'm sorry)

Anyhow, I've got a sentence of my first paragraph and an outline, so far.
Also the dude at the counter was all "were you here last time? :) " and I felt bad saying that no, I wasn't. Not that he seemed disappointed. (However, nothing better happen! Last time a guy at a shop liked me, I ended up having to figure out what hours he wasn't working. It's so inconvenient!)

Also, want to know what is SO EXTREMELY EXCITING?!?! (more shouting. Sorry)
The mountains were all white today!!!


The mountains are pretty much my favourite part of Vancouver. And I know you can baaarely make them out in that picture, but trust me, there're there. And they're snowy.

 AND LOOK HOW MANY LEAVES THERE ARE!! I wanted to jump in it... except it was gross. So I didn't.

 Also (This is an old picture) I was at Fright Nights! Did I mention that? It was supposed to be a fun Halloween carnival except that there was some purely terrifying stuff in the haunted houses. HOUSES. AS IN MORE THAN ONE. AS IN I SURVIVED LIKE SEVEN OF THEM IN ONE NIGHT. It was scary. That warrants screaming.

 Also! It snowed! It's gone now (actually it was gone later that same day) but! Yay!

 And I'd gone up to Grouse with K with the sole intention of eating nachos. Which are basically my favourite food ever. (Also? I'm a super awesome girl to hang out with, because I like nachos and mountains and scary movies. I don't make people eat healthy food, go to lame places, or watch stupid stuff like Glee or whatever) (Sorry, Gleeks! But ALL THAT SINGING! And sorry, but high school themed stuff is so over.)

That is a traffic cone. In a tree. It's been there for days.

I went to see Breaking Dawn a week ago! (Seriously!)
It was the funniest thing ever! Although I'm sure the other people didn't appreciate my constant snickering. Seeing as they weren't funny parts.
Like when Edward brings *Spoiler! Just kidding, because really, who even cares!* Jacob to the wedding as a wedding present. Like! WHO DOES THAT? "Hey, new wife, he's that guy that is soooo in love with you! Zing, Jacob!" Maybe Edward is just super mean
And then later, Bella was all *Spoiler! HAHAHA* "I'm naming this baby EJ if it's a boy - Edward Jacob" at least she had the decency to give it her HUSBAND'S name first, before her OLD BOYFRIEND'S. Seriously, Bella, do you THINK before you speak? "Oh, hey husband, I love you and all, but like, let's name OUR BABY after MY EX BOYFRIEND." I think I'll try that in ten years and see if that flies with Mr. Future Husband. I can probably talk him into naming babies after hockey greats, but if I throw a "oh hey, my ex's name was xxxx and that would be a great middle name" at him, I'm preeeeetttyyy sure he wouldn't dig it. Like, way to rub it in Edward's face that not only were you with another guy before (guys seem to dislike that. Seriously! My boyfriends have always had MAJOR problems with my ex's, be them ex-boyfriends, ex-flings, ex-flirts, whatever! Even though they don't live in the same country, even! (I seem to have a American/Canadian/American/Canadian/American habit going))
Anyways. I will not be naming my future son Ryan Ex'sName, or Alex ThatGuyWhoMyHusbandWishesHarmUpon.
Seriously, Bella. How did you miss THAT lesson? (Oh, right, when you got married at 18 after some heavy-duty stalking. Zing!)

And speaking of baby names, she names the baby *Spoiler! Oh, haha, no one CARES* Renesmee. Which is (get ready to applaud Bella's creativity, folks) her mother's name smushed against Edward's mum's name! Renee-Esmee. Two names I dislike put together! Dude. Did she ever think a little girl might not like the name Reeeneeessmmeee? How about something PRETTY for a little girl, Bella?! I mean, imagine if *I* did that.
Let's assume Mr. Future Husband's mom's name is... hm... Suzanne. So we'd get Rozanne. (acutally, that's kinda pretty. Let me try again). Suzala! See! It sounds like... a dance! Or salsa!
I'd much rather go with my first choice for a girl - Ana. (Or, hey, Rozanne was pretty sweet. I better go marry someone who's mom's name is Suzanne!)

Aaaaaanyyywaaayyyssss. I'm reading Twilight to J right now, (Not seriously. It's more of a laugh-hysterically-at-every-page event) so expect some line-by-line critique.
(And you know that when I say "critique" I mean "even more mocking." Yay!)

One more week of classes! Check out my finals:
1) Linguistics: THERE IS NONE HAHAHAHAHA. But we do have a presentation on a research article we read. On Neurolinguistics. Soooo did not sign up to study the brain. I HATE studying the brain- it's so complex!
2) English : there's an essay and another suuuper fun 'what author/piece/importance' of passages section. Wooo.
3) Scientific Reasoning. THIS WILL BE A NIGHTMARE. BECAUSE IT IS A MATH CLASS. I STILL can't believe I did that to myself!
4) German : Soooo not worried. It's German! I get 80's when I don't study. Also, my pronunciation is the bomb.
5) French : Grammar! Suuuuch a nightmare!


Doesn't that all sound like fun.

Good morning! It's noon!

I am having such an exciting day, it's a wonder I can even stand it.

I woke up at noon; was out late last night watching the hysterically funny Breaking Dawn. (It's not supposed to be funny, but I definitely spent most of the time snickering. That is, when I wasn't asking questions like "the werewolves have a LAW that says 'don't kill anyone's wife', because that was such a problem they needed a law about it? Huh?")

I've got a lot of work to do, including a term paper on Twelfth Night - yet another genius thesis to prove: "Twelfth Night is Carnival on its grandest scale; the widespread reversal of roles drives the action, as the reversals of Viola, Olivia and Feste are the vehicles of the plot, something their original, traditional roles could not accomplish." Seriously so smart. Anyhow, so I'm in bed with the J blanket, writing and stuff.

And yeah, to answer the things I'm sure you're wondering:
1) Def a kirk/spock poster on my wall
2) It is kinda sunny!
3) That's my awesome prelaw water bottle. WHICH IS EMPTY BECAUSE I DRANK WATER.

(I tried to find this pic from first year but couldn't. It was me with the J blanket)


Some other things to note:

I saw my first Christmas tree of the season! At the bookstore! LIKE A WEEK AGO. Its NOVEMBER.
There was snow yesterday! It's gone now though.
That's all I can think of for now..

Gonna go work on my genius paper that will change the literary world forever.


Oh, and one more thing! I'M SO PALE NOW OMIGOD.
I keep getting called Snow-white-y/vampire-y. THIS IS SO UNFAIR.

Eventually i'll get this picture my roomie took yesterday. I LOOK SO PALE IT'S INSANE.

My week (or something) in pictures!

Dude, I have over a thousand pageviews! So proud of myself for that.

Anyhow, here's what I've been up to:

Got my name on my jersey!! Doesn't it look SO PRO! Also, there's a C on the front!

Playing lots of hockey! This is the rink where we play a lot. Olympic rink! Also, the stands are always that empty. We haven't exactly got tons of people coming to see us play at like, 11:30 PM. Surprisingly.

Joined the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity! So far, there was just the first meeting, and afterwards, we all went out drinking together. Jaegerbombs. Not too awful, really.

Missin these guys :) The shortbus squad! On a bus! Hahaha

I put the wrong kind of soap into the dishwasher. That whole thing is filled with bubbles. Lots and lots of bubbles.

I saw this sign :D "Change furnace filters eh" Only Canada!

Check out the C!!!! (It's crooked cos I took this picture before I had it actually attached)

I went out for dinner with my friends, and saw PAYPHONES. I think there's one in all the town at home.

Super cool Canucks bus.

Someone put bubbles into the fountain in front of Marine Drive!

This is the fountain at 6AM.

Anyhow, that was my week-or-something in pictures! See what an exciting life I lead!

Sadly, no cool acronym

I was trying to think of a cool acronym for this kinda update, since I only ever talk about 1)school 2) friends and 3)hockey, but there's no good combination of those...
-SFH sounds like you're breathing really hard
-SHF sounds like you're choking
-HSF sounds like you're reading some foreign word out loud and sounding like a moron
-HFS sounds like hissing
and anyways, they're all terrible.
likewise, any word combinations are also pretty bad-
schockends/shrienkey/frienoolkey/etc

but all lame acronyms aside:

School is just like always; I had a midterm in French, got good grades on Linguistics assignments, and, oh, yeah, GOT MY FIRST 100% ON A TEST. Yeah. That happened. Scientific reasoning, and probablities! The one with Bayes' formula I think I already talked about.
Friends are epic; got "teambuilding" this weekend! That's just fancy talk for "chilling in a sports bar together to watch the Canucks game."
Hockey is a losing streak as usual - one to nine last night. Our game started at 11:30, and within the first 5 minutes, they'd scored 4 goals. Also, the LITERALLY BIGGEST GUY ON THEIR TEAM HIT ME. Which was so not cool. But, seeing as a) this is canada and b) I'm a girl, he apologized.

I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures easier. Until then, I'm lazy, and won't do it now. Love y'all anyways, though!

Happy thanksgiving!

Guess where I am- the gym!! Like, literally. On an exercise bike, currently.

Spent last night watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Elena. The new one is very, very creepy. Also, was playing with Grace- she found the way the numbers swoosh up on the itouch lock screen so hilarious. (I have a video of her laughing hysterically at that- so cute!)

Found out that my last exam is Dec. 19. Because clearly UBC hates me sometimes.

Done 300 calories so far!

Some really cool things

1. My German teacher knows our names! And it only took him like, two classes! We're starter level German, too, so he must have a bunch of 30-person sections, and somehow, he knows our names!!!
2. I got a C for my jersey! The jersey has yet to come, but I've got that C aaaallll ready for it. Also, I can't WAIT for our jerseys to come - we seriously have such a cool logo.
3. My new favourite singer ever, of all time, is this dude named Alexander Rybak. He's a violinist and sings, and his songs are amazing. So I've been listening to all that on loop. Here are the two I bought on itunes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daqfr6DJsGc&feature=related

4. It's Thanksgiving this weekend!! Still feels weird to have it in October, but whatevs. Monday's a holiday!
5. My hockey team got a registration slot for next semester! I actually forgot to log on at the actual time, and there was ONLY ONE SPOT LEFT, and we GOT IT!! I am thrilled to bits about this. So much.
6. Went to the Law Insider event the pre-law club hosted. It was cool, if terrifying. Law schools are very difficult to get into in Canada - a lot of them had 2,000+ applicants, and accepted UNDER 200 OF THEM. It's stressful.
7. I realized that being Captain of a hockey team will be really cool on an application and stuff - life skills! I didn't even realize that!
8. Turns out I'm a total genius in my Scientific Reasoning class. No, seriously! We had a test, and the formula we usually use looks like this:
P(H) P(E|H)
------------
P(H) P(E|H) + P(~H) P(E|~H)

And in the test, it was totally different, and looked like this:

P(A) P(RG|A)
------------
P(A) P(RG|A) + P(B) P(RG|B) + P(C) P(RG|B)


totally different! It was one problem, and it's about if you have 3 cups filled with different amounts of green and red marbles, and you choose two marbles out of a cup, what's the probability that it was cup A, B or C. That kinda super fun stuff. And it even had a super confusingish part where they didn't replace the marble after drawn, which changed the percentages - ANYWAYS, the point is, we went over it after the text, and I got it right!! I'm so excited to get this test back.
9. Alsoooo I got an in-class essayish thing back, and I got a 4.3 out of 5!

Anyways, more later :)
