Sorry, I know I'm not very creative with the blog titles. But it's either that or "Untitled", and I'd rather NOT settle for the latter.

Wow, it's been almost a month since I've last blogged. I knew I was gonna be busy... but it's only 3 weeks into school and I'm exhausted. But happy. Stressed to tears, but satisfied. I think most people in Schulich feel the same way - they'd rather be stressed albeit productive than bored and not doing much.

School's alright. I'm taking a full course load, but it's not so bad. I actually want to be in class for a change, and it's refreshing. I almost forgot what it's like to enjoy school. I'm taking advanced Chinese, but my Chinese is relatively poor compared to my classmates :( That means I have to try extra hard to get the A... But I love challenges :)

With school and work taking up most of my time, my life feels pretty boring sometimes. I miss the exchange days when I could do almost whatever I want, whenever I want with little consequences. So in an attempt to make my life more "colorful", I've been trying to do as much as I can outside of school/work.

For starters, I entered some contests :) The first one being HBC's "Hey Canada, what are YOU made of?" contest. The winner gets to see the Vancouver Olympics! I am so desperate to go, so please vote for me! :) You need to register and get your account verified before your vote counts though. Please vote for me here! I'll buy you icecream :) I haven't heard from the makeup contest yet, but I will by the end of the week. Will keep you posted!

I'm also taking Korean classes! It's a free certificate course offered by the Korean Consulate, so I thought... why not? :) I made some new friends and it's great! Hmm, what else... Kevin took me to see a Leafs game yesterday. We won, yayy :) Haven't watched hockey in so long, so that was fun!

Will go on a photowalk with Ken this weekend :) Never actually done that before, even though I have so many artsy fartsy photography friends. Can't wait!!

Okay, so I had the most amazing weekend ever. Okay.. Maybe not EVER, but it was pretty damn awesome. It started with Jay's concert on Thursday, December 18th, 2008. Ahh, this isn't a date I'll be forgetting anytime soon... I was SO uberly excited for it. Check out the signs I made for me and my sisters! They're pretty tiny, but the last thing I wanted was crazy Jay fans chucking stuff at us...

I am so sick of this layout! But anyway, it's almost been a month since I've last updated - time flies! This entry is gonna be somewhat image heavy... Brace yourselves, you 56-kers (do you guys even exist!?)...

So, my D.C. trip was fantastic! Well, a bit on the rushed side, so I didn't get to do as much sight-seeing as I had hoped. But it was rewarding nonetheless. Met a lot of great people and was able to put my stalking skills to the test (okay, we were SO close to the G-20 leaders!)...

Work has been great, as usual! :) My second class has 18 students, so it can get pretty rowdy. My sister has been an amazing helper.. Gahh, I dunno what I'd do without her!
School has been busy as usual, so I haven't really been able to hang out with my friends too much... So I was really happy when we got to hang out last week! We went to all-you-can-eat Korean barbeque and went to RQ Karaoke afterwards. It was such a beautiful night!
