Being a student is an abusive relationship. You pay someone more money than you really have, and for what? To be sitting up at 5 am writing a paper on chinese astronomy, dressed for the day already because you have to get going at 7 am? haha. It just seems wrong. Look me in the face and tell me I'll ever need to know about Chinese astronomy again... I doubt it's possible.
haha. 3 days. It's all good really, just wanted to rant a little. I really don't mind being a student, I think all night essay writing is somehow an essential part of your 20's.
Found this quote, which is entirely unrelated to this post, but I enjoy, and it is too long to post anywhere else, haha:
Find good guys. Don't find guys who have a stack of mags on top of their toilet, and watch Spike TV....If your boyfriend watches more than, like, 20 minutes of cop car chases, cut it out. And let me tell you one other secret, ladies. If he is wearing a hat, like, a baseball cap, that baseball cap must be perfectly straight on his head. If that hat is even just one degree off this way or that way, it's actually relative to how much of a dick he is. So if he's totally that way, that's how much of a dick he is. And if his hat is all the way sideways, ruuuuuun! Stay in line with the hat. And if it's on backwards, he may want to arm wrestle.

Just one more thing today, I swear.
Over Easter, 3 of my cousins were sitting around talking, and the American election came up. Here's how it went:
"So it's a woman and a black man, right?"- Cousin 1 "yeah, Clinton and Obama"- Cousin 2 "That's a big deal for America"- Cousin 3 "Yeah, they're pretty much the same though, right?"- Cousin 1 "They have different health care policies and stuff like that, but generally are the same, yes"- me "They're the Republican candidates"- Cousin 2 "Yeah"- Cousin 1 "Yeah"- Cousin 3 "Wait wait, god no, they're Democratic"- me "Oh, who's the Republican person then?"- Cousin 1 "John McCain"- Me "Oh, I want him then"- Cousin 1 "yeah"- Cousin 2 "yeah"- Cousin 3
my heart hurts.

I have 2 graduations to go to at the beginning of this summer, so I thought, I need a dress. Well, I was out with a friend a few weeks back, found a dress I love (a bit more expensive than I wanted, but I loved), so I bought it. Just under a week later, I'm on perezhilton.com and see this:  Miley Cyrus stole my dress! Here it is on the store website model:  Damn Miley beat me to the punch and wore it months before I planned too. Not my fault I live in Canada, haha. I can't be out wearing dresses yet. Anyways, I thought it was pretty funny. Good taste, Miley.

6. How do you feel about global warming? I'm worried about it, and worried for those who don't think it is happening. However, I think my ecological footprint is a tiny as 1 person can make short or living in the woods, so that makes me feel better.

21. finish this sentance: "Children need...." hope
22. Have you been happy recently?. yes
23. do you like getting flowers? I think they're pretty and I say awww like a girl should, but fresh cut ones die, and that's slightly depressing to watch, and lets face it, plants die on me too, so I can think of better presents

I've never felt unsettled before. I've always been one of those people that have been very content with where they were and how they live. I'm not so convinced right now. So, I'm thinking about moving away. I think it's a pretty perfect time actually. I have to be back in Toronto in September, which means there is an end date on this moving, which is the only way I would (currently) move far. I'm also feeling slightly stir crazy, maybe from the 4 years at this 1 school, 3 years at this 1 apartment. I have no job I'm attached to, nobody that can't live without me for 4 months. I do have a butt that's only seen 1 plane and eyes that have only ever seen Ontario (mostly). I cant move somewhere without getting a job in that place first. So that's the only hitch in this plan. I have picked the city though, and the furnished place to live in that city. I just need to find a job. I think this is an inspired plan. Give me something to miss. I've never been away from my closest family for more than MAYBE a month, ever. Take me away for 4 months= lots of love and appreciation for where I come from and who I come from. Also, I could skip out on experiencing any more of my mothers current mid-life crisis. Works out! More details as/if this plays out. Current Music: the times they are a changin' (kidding, but wouldn't that be perfect?)
