today was defently a happy day..
it started off pretty nice, my brother drove me to uni, i went and met a new person in my class... i then learned from this new meeted person that i saved $130 and some bucks by getting the 3rd edition text book off my Nancy instead of buying hte 5th edition. after coming home from my lovevly class, i sat around read a good book. me and ben figured otu what was wrong with teh Wii, annd fixed it.. which after supper we procedded to play soem new werid games he got, and pretty much im not too good at htem.. buut after giving up on those awful games, me and ben started a new online game where i get to build a city and kill ppl, which is just cool..
ooh and right now there is a pastor from Uganda, named peter who is staying iwth us right now.. he came in on tuesday to talk at the leaders meeting, he is a very cool guy. and is one of the guys that hte church is wotking with down there.. but its kinda funny cause hes only like been to north america either 2 or 3 times befor. so he has a lot of questions.. he cant beilieve that we get snow, and we have been awsering tons and tons of questions about winter...unfortunatly he leaves tomorow..
annd then i came up to go to bed, and thought id check my emails one last time, when i found a very expected, very exciting email from a good friend awaiting me... which jsut leaves me suuuper excited and giddy and now i wont be able to sleep...

the evening had been an especially long, hard, and busy day at work. and i was looking forward to going home and sleeping. i was to get off work a half an hour before the normal time,and it was jsut about taht time. i was about to take my garbage to the back and then leave. but while walking through the clothing department, i noticed this pretty little pink bicycle sitting all by her lonesome. now when i say little bicycle, i mean it was one of those one size bigger than a tricycle type of bicycle that had the little training wheels on it.. So me, being a self respected adult did like any sane person would do. I sat down, and started pedaling, which is a pretty amazing feat, for in order to pedal i had to stick my knees waaaaaay out to the side so not to hit them on the handle bars.. so i rode my bike a short little stint back to the fitting roomm which is where my odd objects that i find during the day normally end up. But as i was there, Karen and Oksanna cajoled me on, and persuaded me that there wasnt really any room left for it.
So me and my pretty little bike that had those pretty little beads on the tires, taht make the sound of clicky clack clickety, went clicky clack clickety all the way to the front of the store to the customer service desk, which is the secondary place for my random items i find to be droped off. throughout my trip i was greeted with quite a few smiles, a few laughs, and quite afew stares. as i reached the front of hte store i was greeted by an exstatic boy saying "i cant beilieve you road that, ive never seen anyone do that before", which i was pretty baffeled by, as who wouldnt ride it?? soo anyways the exstatic boy convinced me that i should ride to the other end of the store to put it away. Acctually he wanted me to give it to him so that he coudl ride it, but there was no way i would let him defile my little pink bike..
so i started peddling again, when all of a sudden a lady customer stopped me and said in a very serious voice "You shouldnt be doing that.." and i was a little confused but at the same time i could understand someone thinking that i might break the bike or something, but i wouldnt never do anything to hurt the little pink bike. then she continued "its not safe with out a helmet"... so i laughed and continued my bicycle treck, zoooooming along the isles with great speed, having the sound of my little pink bicycle tires follow me all the way. clicky clack clickety.
once arriving at her little home, i told the boy whos job it was to put away my little pink bicycle to take good care of her, and after saying a tearful goodbye i went back to taking out my garbage.. i soon left work, but now i had a lighter heart, and i felt a little bit happier than before, knowing that i had brought a little joy to a few people in the world, and that someday a little girl in the world might enjoy that bicycle just as much as i did.

i jsut thought i would share wiht you guys my favorite thing i learned this week. Now this is going to seem like something out of one of my chemistry classes, buut really i didnt learn it in class at all, though i wish i was tested on it cause it is the one thing i might actually get right on an exam, but annyways so this is a picture of a compound called Penguinone, which not only sounds cute, but also looks cute...
see look at it, isnt it cute?? its like a penguin and a ketone, put them together and what do you got? penguinone!!
alright yes, i do realise that it is odd to think a chemical looks cute, but what can i say, im just like that....
i had forgoten why i dont drink coffee, acctually i didnt forget why, i just forgot how much it hurts... i drank coffee today so that i could stay awake to study(i was really tired okay?) and now i have hte worst tummy ache ever... stupid coffee why must you hurt me soo...never again, you hear me!! never again will i drink it...

i jsut finished a weekend of freedom from studing, unfortunatly i must once again pick up the grindstone and begin studding once more for exams, 1.4 weeks till my next exam.. 6.3weeks till classes are out and 8 weeks till university is out for summer... well maybe out for the summer, i have yet to decided if i shall take summer courses... its on my list of things to make decisions about, a list which unfortunatly is growing longer as my deadlines grow closer... sometimes i just wish that someone would say this is the best thing for you, to get there you do this, this, this and this...

I was to make an ester in my organic lab today. which is a type of organic compound, and most of htem have pretty smells, like banana, orange, mint, floweryness, and other great scents. they are used to make a lot of different perfumes and such. soo anyways i was suppose to make one of these wonderfully scented compounds, my compound is called isopropylpropanoate. so i calculated my required quatnities and measured them out with the greatest care. i mixed them, seperated them mixed some more, washed it, sepearted it, dried it, boiled it off, annnd at hte end of it all.. my wonderful ester apeared to have the most amazing scent of NAILPOLISH REMOVER!!! gah, everywhere else i walked in the room i could smell the wonderful scents of fruity goodness, and my area smelled like nail polish remover.... mine was accutally suppose to smell like banana pinapple, i mean banananana... nailpolish remover, whats the difference right??
thankfully i dont get marked on how well my compounds smell, or even on if htey turn out right... i only get marks for being able to say what should have happened and then also for being able to make excuses for why it didnt work... now that is the best type of marking scheme ever....

group projects can be a real pain sometimes.. acctaully most of hte time. its so much easier most of hte time for me to jsut sit down by myself and work for a few hours to get a project done, instead of hanvign to converse with someone else and take twice as long to get the project done. in high school i loved doing group projects cause it ment doing less work, and a chance to fool around with friends, but now in university tis not that way, it mostly jsut leads to fusteration. unfortunatly it is fusteration you can not express to them, for if you do you can be seen in a very unpleasent light, and hten be given a bad grade by them.... there are soem exceptions to the rule of course, as soemtime you get stuck wiht a good partner and group.. but sometiems it jsut really reaaally sucks...
i have a huge group project that i have to do for my microbio lab, its worth 25% of my lab grade, and i have to work on it for like two months or soemthign crazy like taht..the group is made up of 8 ppl, and i can only stand four of hte other ppl, wait not compleatly true, there is also one other girl whom i dont mind but she is quiet and so i dont notice her much, which is too bad cause hse seems like she would be nice.. unfortuantly there is still two people in our group, who make it very very difficult to work with.. i thought i would only have one difficult person to deal with, but God decieded to have a little fun, and added another challenging person to our group this week. oh yay!!
but acctually im kinda looking forward tothe project cause its kinda fun, we get to do some fun bacteria growing, and get to play with mayo, cheesewhiz, and jelly, i mean what coudl be better than that? and the four other people in my group are really nice and i enjoy them a ton, soo i suppose that will be good..and it also gives me a chance to interact with my organic buddies, who are no longer my organic buddies as they deserted me... sigh, and yesterday the one had just told me that i would be his new bestest organic buddy, only to abandon me today. so now im not allowed to converse with him, as he is offically a jerk. only not really, as that would make the microbio lab a little akward, and cause im not really mad at him, as i was acctually thinking of switching my class section to the earlier one.

at work today me and karen started talking, and she states to me "I just walked out of the back and Andy(he's our manager) was standing there, so we started talking, and then he was like 'how come your wearing jeans?' and I said that 'i didnt know'" so she states this and i look down and low and behold she is wearing blue jeans(we arent allowed to wear blue jeans at work except on payday friday if we pay a toonie to charity.). so like the annoying brat i am, i start heckling her and saying things like "ooh your in big trouble now your probebly going to get fired or something" and i say a few other statments like that. which she promptly looks at me in a funny way, and points down to my pants. so of course i follow the line of her pointing hand and realise that i too am wearing blue jeans. lets just say i felt compleatly and totally foolish, but it was funny anyways. it reminded me of the whole taking the speck out of soemone else's eye while you still have the plank in your own...orr like the pot calling hte kettle black... but the weird thing about it is that i toootaally didnt realise i was wearing blue jeans until she pointed it out to me, and then i was soo confused cause i was suure i had changed my pants before coming to work, but then i remebered that i acctually didnt change them but rather i jsut thought about it like 7 times this morning. i msut say i felt pretty selfconcious all evening...

it is now time for me to go bask in blissful christmas freedom, and allow myself the pleasure of making christmas cookies and playing in the snow, and putting up christmas decorations, and twirling around in the snow, and dancing aroudn the house, and drinking apple cider while listening to christmas tunes and putting up christmas orniments on the tree...

wait no, they have just become my new study break activity..
everyone should clean out their hidden memory stashes once and a while...
cause the point of memeories isnt that you have to be reminded to remember them, but rather that you can remember and enjoy them with out prompting at random times.....

as of this year i have a new annoance with microsoft word.. pretty much the probelm is its spell cheak, i mean its great and all, and it corrects me on words spelt wrong like 'the', and 'couldnt' and other silly little mistakes i make often, but the probelm is that when i write words like fermentor, or indole, or DNase ooor endospores, or durham, oor tryptophan, oooor pseudomonas diminuta, it always tells me that i spelt htem wrong, but i didnt.. which is annoying because after i use these nice words five or six tiems in a project im bound to spell it wrong at least once, most likely not hte first time, but by the end ive normally messed up once, adn then i dont catch the mistake because i jstu kinda skim oveer htem and say hmm its underlined in red, buut they dont know how to spell that wrod cause its not in its dictionary, soo it must be right, which leads to me spelling things wrong....like the word phenolphthalein which shoudlnt even be a word with all those odd letter together, but it is, and when you have to write a reaport about it, and its tricky to spell, i end up messing up once or twice, and then my TA comes and laughes at me, for messing it up, and its not really my fault i mean if the spellcheck worked then i wouldnt have this probelem....i should have a special science geek spell check on my computer then it would tell me if i spelt all these big, scientific words right, and i wouldnt get stupid little marks off for spelling....

family makes bad moments good, i dont think i could mke it with out them.....
young adult service was sooo freaken hilarous, well then again maybe not, it kinda depends on who you are, and what you find funny, and how easily you block out teh bad parts, and if you know the jokes befor they happened, ooor if you were at the bestest best part of the afterwards.. which was accutually before the afterwards, at the admittence table, ooh it was great... i mean waht coudl be better than guessing middle names, only to find that the one girl had two, and hte other had none.. then there was the story about snow-ball, and the guy with Crrraazy Eyes, and all the other funny things that happened, in that breif moment of my day, it was defently one of my highlights.. along with some other things, like accordian jokes..
oohoohohohohoh and i was looking in a box in the youth room for a marker, and i found a mouse, compleatly freaked me out. we made the boys take care of it... yes they will forever remain boys, jsut the same way as everyone in my microbio class will remain kids forever...I'm not sure waht the boys did with that little mouse, they took the box outside and i ahvent seen the mouse again, though i heard soemthign about making a mousicle out of him, ewww gross...
