I feel like I've been living out of a suitcase for the past four years of my life... going to school, coming home, going back, toronto, kingston, ottawa, montreal and back again ... its been ongoing and I'm exhausted.

I'm packing to go back right now - I used to get so excited for this part. I would make up excuses to go back to school earlier. I remember when I was in first year a fourth year told me she was excited to be going home when she was done, and I actually could not understand the logic in wanting to leave the freedom and "awesomeness" that was university. It's clear that the novelty has now worn off for me as well, and I finally see what she meant.

I managed to arrange my schedule this term, so I have 2 days of class and a 5 day weekend... I gave up great classes for convenience. Is that selling out? Perhaps. But I have sadly come to learn that undergrad is not about what you learn, its about how you learn, so if that means taking that God-awful feminist class that simply fits with my schedule .. that's what I will do.

I can't even fathom that this will all be coming to an end. Part of me is ready.. an even bigger part of me is terrified.. When did we get this old?

Here's to the last go at this.

Cheers,
ga.

These words used to spill out of me and now I don't know where to begin.
I guess, first off, thank you to Marlee for getting us all started again. I really do want to hear about what everyone is up to!

I just got home for Christmas break yesterday. Feels good to be home, but I told my thesis supervisor I would have a chapter done by Monday and ... well.. tomorrow is Sunday so I am spending my first few days at home reading up on infanticides. Just the way to begin my Christmas? I can't wait until this is done.

Does this thing let you tag pictures on it?
Okay back to work! Love love.

ps. I don't know what the greenroom is, but we have a greenroom at Queen's and it is a tea shop. They do not sell nachos there so I am going to assume its not the same thing here. I digress. Either way, I would love to get together and see you all.

im sitting in my living room wrapped up in a blanket waiting for my rents to come visit. i woke up super early this morning to do a good clean up cas it was in a really bad state from last night. this house is ridiculous and i mean ridiculous. its an ikea house and u can tell its a girls house the second u step in. i love it. i love my house mates. were having the funnest time and meeting the craziest ppl. were all cooking big dinners together and having dance parties in our kitchen. we wait up for eachother when we go out and have 4am talks. we share books and and like to hang out on our patio in the back. i love these girls and im so happy i am living with them.

this summer has been.. well.. i dont even know what to call it.. amazing doesnt seem fitting. the opportunities given to me were unreal. working at the law firm opened up my eyes and inspired me that much more to go through with this desire to go to law school. camp was crazy.. of course.. it always is.

then there was greece. which basically there are no words to explain it. i was home again. there are too many stories .. wouldnt even begin to be fitting for a lj entry.

then there was g. this was probably the most significant part of my summer. for the first time everything was right. i was happy. beyond happy. happy didnt describe it. i let my guard down and i took the chance everyone told me not to take and it was one of the best decisions that i have ever made. i grew up. i learnt a lot. i learnt to believe in me. so for that .. i thank you.

these past 2 weeks back have been .. hmm.. whats the word... intense. ive had the best days and ive experienced the worst. but ive had ppl there for me every step of the way. last night i didnt go out cas i was all splotchy. meetes came over to sit with me for a bit and just to give me a hug:) pete let me cry on her. ali brought me kleenex. ellen made us potatoes :) haha. things are different and adjusting is a bitch. but its going to be a good year no matter what cas its what u make of it. its hard as hell somedays.. reminders that make me crack automatically (there we go crying has commenced - fuck) hahaha. this is like those emo entries i used to write.. i love it. the point is everything always works itself out and im excited to see what this year brings me.

next weekend is homecoming.. i think about where i was last year this time and where i am now and it scares me how much has changed.

today is going to be a good day.
goodmorning kids.. go do something fun and spontaneous today.. u wont regret it.. well.. maybe haha

-gface

ps. meen- phone date.

when the fuck is jessie eva mcaulay coming home.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF MCGILL BITCH! MONTREAL DOESNT WANT YOU.

i wish i could hold onto all the little details of last night cas they just make me so happy 

the best moments of university are not always the big parties and how drunk you got the night before...
the things that make it what it is, are the small things.. the grocery shopping at stupid hrs in the night..cooking, or attempting to at least.. watching bad movies(GODFATHER 3 SUCKS!)... cuddling.. talking in bed till u can see the sun beginning to rise.. driving down princess with the windows down in this ridiculous weather 

the sun is shining
the lake is sparkling
and its days like today that make everything worth it

goodmorning.. and happy weekend!

i feel like jessie is reading my fucking mind.

10 days till classes are over, and im not even excited. cas the prospect of having to spend 3 of the most amazing months in thornhill just isnt working for me (1 in greece.. i can work with that)
it is 7:30 am.. i have an 8:30 that i never wake up for, and for some reason today i woke up extra early.. what is wrong with this world.

i dont want to leave rez.
or jordan
or gillian
or erika
or now that i think about it.. dimitris who is fucking going to california and then greece probably

in the words of gillian and/ or mr. portakolis: "why you want to leeeaavvee meeee"

1st year almost over just like that.
facking weird... even more so than walking in on a threesome. thats right. i said it.

this weekend is going to be labelled by me "GO HUGE OR GO HOME." lets party like its 1995... cas God knows if Catherine (Mrs. Andropoff aka. my mom) is going to keep me hostage for the summer. oy. tear.

ok kids... im gonna say something that ive never said before on a tuesday morning: im going to eat breakfast and go to my 8:30.. (dont u love how i start to not slack 2 weeks before its over.. oy.)

i honestly cant remember the last time i slept for more than 2 hrs at a time. exhausted. cant wait till tomorrow night.
my weekends and weeks have all been a blur - blending together - dont know where all the time went, but i only have a month left till i move out of this place, which makes me incredibly sad... and incredibly excited to move into my new house up the street from the lake.
petra and i picked out our bedrooms the other day and talked decorating lingo. excited**
i got mail yesterday that made me think long and hard about a lot of things. things are good. im happy. but i sure as hell need to focus.
i decided i want to major sociology. its the only thing i can see myself being interested in. me. bahl.. u did a number on me... jeessh.
last night jordan and i called random numbers pretending to be the persons friend from highschool and seeing how long we could keep ppl on the phone for. we only got to 2:09 minutes. tonight we try again.
this essay is not finishing itself. fuck.

my plan:
finish reading articles now
go to library and get out more journals/ return books from last essay
go to the JDUC to send mail
7:00 - 9:30 rehearsal
stay up all night again finishing essay and memorizing lines
hand in essay
present drama
go to church
prison break with meetes all night until we pass out

my eyes are burning and ------

pete just called me.. gonna go grab coffee.. then stauffer.. oy.. its never ending..

only get closer
to the point where i can take no more
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
wont you be the new one burn to shine
i'll take the blue ones every time
walk me down the broken line
all you have to do is cry

this whole weekend has been a blur.
im happy and im sad
and guys are a bitch
and parents are a bitch
and im sure at some point during all of this i was a bitch

"when emotions are high, thinking is low"

i think everyone just needs time to cool off.. to think about whats really going on here.
last night was one of the most high and low nights ever.
i went with my gut.. didnt think much on anything really.. and if i had.. i wouldnt be in either of these situations..
maybe intuition is overrated.. andi want to believe that.. and maybe i made some wrong choices last night.. but i dont regret anything i did.. its just other ppl.. and those other ppl being my mom and dad need to chill the fuck out.

in other news i need to learn how to lock my door.
or patrick needs to learn how to knock.
too many close calls.

im having a shitty day ppl. i need smiles. tell me something nice. something that will make me laugh. something that will make me happy for you.

This has happened so many times before and i feel like i can see how this ends up.
im prayyyyyyyyiiinngggg that this time its different. i just need some sign that im not cursed or something.

things move way to quickly sometimes and we all know i do not deal well with change.
so ...adjusting... trying to at least. cas all this.. im ok with it.. but .. its just quick.

u know what.. fuck it
i just looked at my drama nose... and u know what.. note to self: follow ur intuition not your intellect for once.
just stop thinking and do it.

if only.

i need sleep
yes. i need sleep.

im waiting for dino to get out of the shower.. and im not going to lie.. im going to miss that boy like its my job.

this weekend.. has been full of interesting events.
friday was dinos birthday.. after i finally arrived 3 hrs after dee, we went home and did nothing, which was fine and still fun. we figured we'd celebrate on the saturday night aka last night. so we watched fear of clowns, mindy came over for a bit..the night didnt turn out bad at all.. my sister also made a jam cake.. which was interesting..

so saturday turned out to be a little more jam packed.. after smacking dee on the head to wake him up from his deep slumber, we raced to get ready for this mother of a day.. catherine got dropped off at my house and on we went.. on our adventure to find this confrence.. after many a u-turns we find the place.. see leeks (her 19th birthday) and vancouver chris and ottawa frank... and we have a good time.. it was a productive day.. made me want to go back to greek camp a lot.. just a lot of fun..

so after the confrence we try to go as quickly as possible to the danforth (ps. i dont drive on hwys.. nor have i ever driven anywhere as far as the danforth by myself.. so we sang spice girls, bsb, and nsync super loud in the car.. finally got to the danforth.. to realize we are an hr early and there was no reason for me to have been speeding. jerks.

so we hung out .. went shopping.. i got my mom the new plutarxos cd from 'greek city' and she oohhed and awwwed when i gave it to her... eventually we went to mezes.. awesome food. dino and i are fat. that is all there is about it. we are fat. then we went to johns where he beer pressured.. and we had "uncomfortable sex talks" ..frank came home and this is where the night began..

so we were going to MINK nightclub for our friends 19th birthday.. so dino and i are flipping cas we dont know if were going to get in.. so we were given wrong directions and we were driving around toronto forever.. finally get there and there is a line up across the whole block.. so were like wtf.. so we go up to the bouncer and say.. hey were on the guestlist and he tells us guest list shut down like a half hr ago .. so the guy goes.. dont go wait in line.. wait here.. so he puts us beside him.. nick comes out and goes. theyre with us.. so theyre like.. alright.. so we skip the line.. THEY DONT CARD US.. and it was amaaazziimnnggggg...

anyway.. we danced.. and it was fun..
so frank dino and i booked it to the car after.. cas we left our coats in the car.. and against my will went to mcdonalds..

then i took the dvp even tho i wasnt supposed to.. which was fun.. but stressful when i found myself going to newmarket for new reason.. then dino got mad cas i almost cried.. we EXITed on the next exit.. got myself back on track..
to end it off.. when dino and i got home we went straight to bed and i didnt wake up till now.. anad its almost 1..

so in conclusion it was an amazing weekend in TO... im going to miss dino soooo much.. and now school begins again..
oh well.. TOGA PARTYYY to look forward to this friday. waattapp.

im on a new hunt to get healthy. whatever that means.

i was really excited to come back.. but now that i am.. i kinda just want school to finish. im just... over it.. i guess. things just get really fucked up really quickly.
it really scares me when i have really good days.. cas i just know that theyre going to end with something shitty.. and they always do.. and that goes for anything.. if ever anything good happens.. it ends with the blink of an eye. so today.. im grateful for the normalness and not so amazingness of how my day went. cas that means theres not something shitty awaiting me.

i have a lab meeting at 8
i have a confrence call at 9
going to the gym at 9:30

im exhausted.. but i cant bring myself to sleep. i really want jordan to come home. i really missed him. u know when u just dont want to talk to anyone? i dont even have the energy to sit and have conversations with people anymore. just do what i gotta do and get the fuck out.

yes im being emo.
no i dont care.
just want to sleep and have all the bullshit go away.

for the next 4 weeks.. nothing but school, stauffer, gym, food and sleep. thats my plan. cas i dont have the energy to do anything else.

and so in conclusion i bid you all one huge MHA.
