Yes Seriously...

So I've been meaning to do a post on this for a while now. One Sunday I came home to our fridge smelling unusally nasty. So being the smart person I am, I decided to clean out a couple bowls that had been on the shelf for a while....well lets just say fruit + yogurt + three weeks = nastiness. Here is what the bowl looked like AFTER washing it three or four times:

Yes those are permanent mold stains. They did eventaully wash off, but seriously??? This wasn't the only bowl either, there was a salad in the fridge too :S. My mom found it quite funny when half an hour after I leave their house I phone asking how to get rid of mold stains :P Anyways it was an experience and I now will make sure our fridge has been cleaned before I leave on weekends.

PS: Easter is this Sunday :) I can't wait to spend time with family.

Facebook and Broken TV's

It seems that I always blog when I have the most to do. Here I have five tests test this week and I'm blogging...oh well everyone needs a study break I suppose. Well anyway this week I have been thinking alot about high school drama and facebook. When I was in high school I didn't participate in such things because I found it lame so I mostly kept to myself, never really taking sides. Well there has been some internet bullying going on with the children who are currently in high school right now. The thing about facebook is you say what you normally wouldn't say in person so usually the comments are pretty nasty because you don't have to actually say it, just type it. To be quite honest I feel like slugging the kids in the face, but alas I'm an adult and cannot participate in such behaviours. Lame. I'm not even sure what I can do, I just feel so helpless.

On a slightly happier note (well the story is funny...) our TV is now out of commission. Last night after FHE some of us decided to watch Aladdin so Kalina and I offered our place. Wellll Jill brought over a vhs player and after finally getting it plugged in we watched it. After the movie was done one of the people went to unplug the VCR  and the TV decided to topple over. Onto our plant. I always thought when TV's broke that there was sparks and the TV burting into flame...but I guess not. Anyways so we plugged the TV back in and it doesn't turn on. Sad. So now we're TV-less until we find a cheap one :P At least it was funny. And for the reccord the guy who knocked it over was going to buy us a brand new TV but we told him no (multiple times actually, he wasn't taking no for an answer) because we got this TV for free and we can get a cheap one fairly easy. Anyways I hope you enjoyed story time.

Oh and another thing, we found someone who is not engaged to move in for the summer. I probably have mentioned this already but we've had some difficulties with finding someone to move in. First about two months ago we had found someone. Then she got engaged and decided to not move in. So after some scrambling we found someone else. Guess what? She's now engaged and moving in with her soon-to-be inlaws. SoOo with Kalina moving out this weekend * :'( *we were pretty stressed. Luckily our visiting teacher Jill said on Sunday if the one who just got engaged didn't work out she would be glad to move in. Well now she's moving in next weekend. Honestly people can't you hold off on the engagments? Just kidding. But not really :P. Oh well we now have someone who is not in a commited relationship and will be staying all summer :)

Anways that's all for now. Happy Tuesday!

Just a Little Break

SoOo I was doing homework with Kim tonight (this morning??) and thought I was doing good, I was awake and buzzing though my homework fairly easily and then my brain stopped working so I took a break, ate some food, got ready for bed then went back to it. Then I did more, all the while chatting with Kim about random stuff (what else do you talk about at two in the morning? :P). Then Kim busted out with this quote; she looks at her pillow then says "this could be a sleeping bag for babies!" just out of the blue. It was pretty hilarious :P Funny enough it could fit a baby, perhaps I should bring it up with my instructors and see what they think. I think they would LOVE the idea.

Anyways after a few jokes like that we went back to it, she finished one play area and ten activites!! How that is even possible I don't even know but somehow she did it, but the downside (well upside for her I suppose) is that she is now in bed and I'm not. I did get two play area evaluations done and one activity but I needed another break so I decided to blog. So here I am. At 4:30am. Blogging away. This probably doesn't even make sense. But at this point I don't even care. It's probably entertaining to read though. But I'm guessing my mom is sitting at the computer shaking her head and laughing at me. I promise that in a week I'll get some sleep mom :). But for now I need to get back to it... but I would like to thank you readers for reading my incoherent thoughts. I hope you had a good laugh. Good night/morning.

Just one more week

Long Night Ahead

Well it's almost midnight and what have I acomplished today? Three observations and a trip to the dollar store and the library. What do I need to have done before I can go to bed? Four more observations, three evaluations, an online quiz, a story about health/safety, and review for a group presentation for tomorrow...we'll see what time I get to bed (if I do). Anyways I just needed a break from my homework and to wake myself up. Only. Two. More. Days. Then I can sleeeep.

More of the Same

So not much has happened since my last post, mostly just hanging out with my buddies at daycare and laughing at the things they say to me.One quote I find quite entertaining happened a couple of days ago; I was talking to my co-workers when one child approached me and repeated my name mutilple times trying to get my attention, so finally I turn to him and say "Yes *Child O* (I can't use names)" and he then says "I am Mr. Evil Dr. Porkchop" quickly then walks away. I have no idea where this came from but it was hiliarious never-the-less :P.

I had an interesting experience on Monday. I went to Julianna's house to play games and hang out with her when I felt like I should head home, I thought to myself why I felt this way at 8:30 at night but I did not ignore this feeling and started heading home. Now earlier in the evening I had taken my brothers into town to use up some coupons that expired that day and to trade vehicles with my dad so that I could see on the way home (my car had a burnt out headlight). My dad warned my that his car did not have snow tires so I needed to be extra careful on the way home.

After getting out onto the highway I realized that the snow was blowing pretty bad so I drove about 10-15km below the speed limit to be extra careful. That was good and I made it all the way to Wilson Siding without any issues. Well as I turned to switch into the righthand lane I noticed some ice, thinking I would be smart and slow down even more I touched the break...bad idea. I don't remember exactly what happened but I skidded into the left lane almost hitting the ditch then almost went into the ditch on the left side and then some how I ended up facing the wrong way on the road. Interestingly enough I just did a U-turn and continued on my way home. I was calm all the way home and didn't start crying until I got home and realized how much danger I was in. I am so grateful that some one was looking out for me that night, the fact that there were no vehicles in either lane, I never actually went into the ditch, and was able to drive another ten mintues without breaking down was incredible.

It may have scared me but I realize how much we are watched over and how if we listen to impressions no matter how small they may be, we will be blessed.

Anyways on a higher note school starts again next week. But I am SO not ready for real life again :P

Just Three Weeks

I have three weeks left of classes (insert a grin here) but that means I have some major assignments due, and funny thing I"m blogging instead...anyways here's my list (all due in the next two weeks so that we can review for tests the last week of the semester :S):

- Two observations and reflections on Wednesday, Thursday, Fridays for the remainder of the semester
-Three 100 question Interpersonal Communication tests (online)
-One active listening video, evalution of how you well you listened, and an evaluation of two other peers active listening skills
-A "Who I Am" powerpoint (minimum 20 minutes long)
-Literacy backpack
-5 page research paper that is used for psychology and english
-10 page philosophy paper
-A child checklist and evaluation of the child
-Play area evaluation and two page paper
-A seven page paper about what I have learned about myself through taking interpersonal communications (which really was nothing but I've gotten good at rambing on paper in that class, luckily my ramblings must make some sense because she gives me good grades :P)
-Study, study, study, study, study, oh ya and STUDY

I think this means no Harry Potter 7 for me until after my psychology final :( well maybe, I may go insane before these next three weeks are up.Wish me luck!!

Really??

Dear Car,
I know you must like attention but is this the way to do it? Yesterday we were good, cruising along 6th Ave and then after we parked you decided to start smoking and leaking tranmision fluid everywhere. I wish you would just work for more then a week at a time.
Sincerly,
Your Owner Julie
