*Jumps up and down excitedly* Look!!Look!!! Not only did I actually keep my word and post again today (no, I still haven't finished the ironing - I've gone grocery shopping tho!!! *grins proudly*)... but I titled my post with a word!!! well... sort of...
In any case, I did have a rather wonderful summer... Not as exciting as many of my other ones - in fact, it was downright dull in comparison - something that caused me to despair at times that I was becoming one of these boring people :P. But, yes, I would have to say that, in spite of the fact that this summer was rather less filled with crazy adventures than the previous ones, it was still loads of fun.
I did end up relaxing after the conference - which is, in itself, a miracle... although what I call relaxing most people would call... well... not stressful... just, not exactly relaxing... I read a ton of books, hosted the family when they came up from Italy (yes, I hosted them, when my mother told me we were hosting, she neglected to mention the fact that she wouldn't be home at all during those two weeks :P *shakes head*) ... lets see, what else did I do...? hmmm... yes... played Em's campaign... tho I didn't get to finish 'cause I wasn't around at the end... neither was my character tho so it all worked out *grins*... awww... I miss Rheys... she played such a wonderful grimey little boy ... but I don't know where the character sheet is *pouts*...
Circus also went rather well... I wanna do a couple more classes before I leave... OOOH!!!! and I can do walkovers and handstands again now!!! Haven't done them in about two weeks since classes ended... but I could do them then!!!!!!!!! What else did I do... hmmmm... went up to the cottage to see the family and had fun tubing in the roughest water I have ever seen... went to wonderland with my little twin cousins and my not-so-little-anymore other cousin for thier first time and got the most adorable picture ever of us on the Ghoster Coaster :D... I went for my G test... and didn't get my liscence (not because I failed. Oh, no) because I ended up going to the hospital instead *wrinkles nose* Yup... my sciatic nerve went out of alignment in the middle of the test.. not a big deal in itself.... happens often enough... but..yeah... It was a pretty entertaining scene... especially 'cause doctors can't do a thing about it *grins*
... OOOH!!! and how could I forget (especially since it's what put both my sciatic nerves out in the first place :P) We moved!!!! into my stepdad's place... so, yeah... that was pretty interesting... I actually like my new room... and the location is convenient 'cause it puts me closer to my friends at UofT... AKKK!!! Just to give some perspective on how much of a bookworm I am.... excepting the 7 or 8 boxes of books I sent to our place up north, 7 out of the 10 boxes filled with my bedroom stuff were full of books!!! and I have at least 3 more boxes worth of books lent out!!! My room is a library!!!!
Heehee... the last couple of weeks of summer were undoubtedly the best spent at home... there was the day I played football with the guys... and climbed the goal posts *shifty eyes*... there was Baldwin's party (where I had circus the next morning)... and the party at Hinkle's (which occurred while the family was still in town :S)... Bike riding with Langan... camping out in my empty house for a bit... then the weekend where I camped out at people's houses in scarborough for 5 nights *giggles* the first day of which was the party at Ju's where all us Traf (or ex-Traffie) girls had a sleep over and before we headed off to rule the world :D... and the last day of which was sauce making!!! I was at my grandmothers from 7:30 am until 5:30 pm!!! OMG! I never wanted to see a tomato again after that!!!... and ooops... that wasn't the last day!!! I spent the night after that at Em's *grin*...
And, oooh!!! before that was MONTREAL!!! where I got to see MARC!!! *jumps up and down excitedly* Jessiann and I took the train out to Montreal to meet marc and had an awesome time!!!! we traipsed all over town to find a club that was open on a Wednesday night... but find one we did *grins* We really need to go over a weekend when schools on :D... awww!!! We stayed in the cutest little B&B right next to McGill campus!!! It was amazing!!! Especially 'cause we got to see Marc again!!! heehee!! It was nice too (even though we missed our train home and had to wait an extra 5 hrs) 'cause I got to spend more time with Jess before she ditched me to head off to windsor :P!!!
But yeah... There were a lot of goodbyes... other Jess headed off to Dal after the girls night... we moved Nick into rez at York that weekend (OMG!!! Peter and "do you supply the toilet paper or will I have to mail him some?" *cracks up*)... and Ju headed out to Alberta (Alberta!!! Now we'll be even further away from each other when I go *pouts*) 2 fridays ago (was it really that long ago) After we spent all day playing in the park and decided that we were never ever going to grow up :P!!! We even played in the wading pool just to prove it *grins*... and then Em headed off to JAPAN (!!!) on last Wednesday... *shakes head* everyone's leaving me!!! Zheng's at UPenn, Heymien's at MIT... a bunch of people are at Queens and Mac and Waterloo and Western and... ahh!!!
Heehee... when I went up the the cottage (again, for more tubing :P) on the long weekend, I took the train out to meet my dad near Baldwin's house and I made him come meet me at the station before he left for uni *giggles* and he actually came!!! *shakes head* waddya know, maybe he will miss me after all :P
... anyhow, I spent all of last week froshing with the UofT people which was loads and loads of fun!!! Awww, man, Innis has the most amazing residences ever!!! I told Langan and Ting and Milani and Ben that I was moving in with them!!! Anyhow... the girls somehow managed to convince Langan to come out clubbing with us on the engineering clubbing night which was great!!! Even if he did leave at midnight! (from a club!! Honestly... I don't care if he had class at 8 the next morning :P *giggles*) ... but yeah... overall it was fun... I met everyone's roomates and made loads of new friends... and gave everyone the wrong impression that I went to UofT (whoops :P) ... anyhow, I headed up to York yesterday to visit with the people up there... which was also loads of fun 'cause I got to see people...
Wow... I actually did a lot more that I thought this summer!!! I even got to see Spammalot with Em H and Evan!!! It was absolutely hysterical, I loved it!!! And I got the best (late) b-day present from Em B ever while out shopping for books with Em H (confusing ain't it???) She bought me Gone with the Wind and Last Chance to See... *sigh* I love those books... they're sooo amazing....
OOOH!!! And I even made it to the Ex this summer!!! I went with Nal and Alan and we met up with one of Nal's friends from Quebec who was in the skating show - which was soooo cool btw 'cause it was a combined circus and skating show!!!! Anyhow, it was also fun 'cause I got in some french practice :S... my french has gone pathetically down hill from disuse...
Lesse... what else is there... Oh, yes, I finally got to see Arms and the Man... Ma and I went to the Shaw festival... It was Incredibly funny... and well done... though I prefer the humour to be slightly more muted to allow for the message to come across *sigh* I swear GB Shaw was a satirical genius even if he didn't want to be.
After spending saturday at Niagra on the Lake, it was off to Ottawa to get my Visa... which was shockingly easy to do compared to a simple change of address on my health card *shakes head* Ottawa was pretty neat, We got to go inside the parliament buildings and up the peace tower, which was actually pretty cool...
And, so yeah... that pretty much brings us up to now (even if I did dispense with my story out of chronological order :P)... all I have left to do now is bake Nal some peanut butter cookies before she heads off to Oxford for work tomorrow... funny how we're just missing each other... she comes back the day I leave!!! Then, I suppose I should really get started on packing my things up and deciding what I am going to take with me... and on massaging my wrists ... Ouch! I never realised before just how painful it is to type long, pointless blogs on a laptop :P
Hope everyone's having fun!!
