please take notice...

if you ever have the privilege of living in the same house as i, just remember a tiny little rule...THE COFFEEMACHINE IS NEVER TURNED OFF IF THERE IS EVEN HALF A DROP OF COFFEE LEFT... well, half a drop is an exaggeration, but if there is still coffee left, the machine stays on...i thought i hammered this idea into my family's mind...but apparently not...i do give some credit to my mom who, before going to bed, mentioned that she had left the machine on..that was about 3 hours ago... and i just went into the kitchen to find that the coffeemachine was off and the coffee was cold, leaving one question to ask.... whodunnit?!

"special" camping...

i'm not much of a camper..in fact, i've never tried the whole back-to-nature-experience-wilderness-no-paper-towel thingy (unless you count summers at the cottage, but we had toilet paper)..i have however, tried a different kind of camping... harsh, and much more scarier than encountering grizzly bears... the kind where you freakin spend from 9 am to 10 pm camped out in front of a computer screen doing your assignment on a friday!! the kind where you have your parents nag at you to come home early when you CLEARLY would rather be out  partying than have a chips and a chocolate bar dinner while typing out the geography of Churchill, Manitoba, and why snowpacks mask or unmask vegetation...the kind where you have only TWO STRESS PILLS LEFT for the remaining couple of weeks......and like any sane person, i didnt stay sane..i actually had somewhat of a hysterical breakdown (your type, maryam)..and it was too scary, even for me....but i just couldnt stop laughing and crying at the same time...glad i had a partner for the assignment though.. cause i woulda really gone nuts if she hadn't calmed me down.... honestly, its just too much to take....i usually dont freak out, but i guess you can only be pushed so far..i calculated my comp hours last week...and at school, i spent more than 20 hours at the comps for stupid assignments..not including when i come home and work some more!! ima go blind soon....

i should market this...

i have this thing where i can't blog twice in the same day, so i've been itching since yesterday to share this with you.... drumroll pls...

intero-ducing --> queenie's official anti-stress package! includes: homeopathic stress remedy (of course!), take-out-my-frustration mazika (i know you don't approve cirus, sorry), a piece of timmies heaven THE LARGE DOUBLE DOUBLE (reserved usually for times of deep depression and stress), and pocky the chinese miracle snack!!


i've been giving the stress pills to gil for the past two days because she's been having problems with writing her essay (her comp crashed on her fully-written but poorly saved essay...i have no sympathy, sorry, i save after every damn sentence) and dares to say that they are just sugar-pills (they are sweet!) and its only the placebo effect making me feel better...well, if its a placebo, then i love my placebos as well!

 


the red hots, nirvana, and moonpools and caterpillars (from my errm, baby-sitters club years...nostalgia remember? but its a good cd :D )

 


THE LARGE DOUBLE DOUBLE!! what more can i say....oh yes, i took a pic of the french side of the cup..it says "always fresh" and "coffee"...

 


i've recently discovered pocky...well i've eaten it before, but never actually bought a buncha of them..and they have ones in green tea ice cream flavour!! i will get that next time...yummyy..i bet i could just live off of them.... 

 

and hopefully, that is all i will require to get through these next four weeks of torture...i forgot to mention, i woke up today to a winter wonderland, we had a couple of centimeters of snow outside, enough to need to shovel the driveway... but apparently only my neighbourhood in my part of the city and surrounding area was a wonderland because when i got to campus, there was not a speck on snow on the ground and the sun was bright in the cloudless sky..mind you, it is only a 45 minute drive..so the snow couldnt have melted by then, so i guess it hadnt snowed over there...but it was weird, as if i had travelled from winter-montreal to sunny california or something...

observations...

its 3 am in the morning and ive had a very productive night...i cleaned my room, picked up my laundry (clean, been lying in the hallway outside my room for about a week, surprised no one mistook it for garbage), did some homework, and overall did whatever i should be doing during the day...and im not sleepy... yet..well kinda, im not passing out at my keyboard, so i take it i can afford a couple of minutes to type this...ive noticed that with stress, i become very nostalgic: old friends, past memories, vacations, loves, and all that jazz..i start listening to music i used to listen to back in early highschool, look up old classmates (facebook.com, and other "social" networks... and no, i don't really have time to be sufing the net, but whatever)...just a huge wave of nostalgia, gets me sad and depressed though too....which is why ive been popping some homeopathic stress-remedy...its harmless, unaddictive, and tastes like candy...gotta love homeopathic meds...i hope i dont run out before exams come...

oh yes, another observation: whoever created the idea of "the weekend", IS AN IDIOT.... unproductive waste of two days that encourages procrastination and a whole lotta potatoe-couching... i'd rather have a 7-day school week where i am focusing on school work everyday instead of weekends when you're supposed to relax but shouldn't really, and end up not doing anything and NOT RELAXING.....therefore, I HATE WEEKENDS!!

- my sister bought me a caramel machiato fragrance oil to burn in my room, haven't tried it yet, but very excited

- omar is a cool guy who has put up a link to the coffeehouse on his blog, thnx dude!

and there was a whole buncha other stuff, but im to tired, and really, im just depressed..........

you know that part in "space jam" where daffy duck says...

"but mommmy, i don't wanna go to school. i wanna stay home and bake cookies with you!"

i am at university now, on a friday morning, and i have no classes to attend...so why am i here? tons and tons of assignments... like i mentioned in my last post, its very hard for me to hit the books..and i have found that if i go to campus, i can wage some psychological warfare with myself...see going to school is not very pleasant, especially on your day off..and i go to do work, but because i want to go home as soon as possible and i wont allow myself to leave before i finish the work, i end up doing it as fast as i can...its sad when you have to do some reverse psychology on yourself.....yes i know, im blogging.. :p

i really don't like the red-bull drunk!! he did a presentation in class yesterday (he was drinking red-bull right before it too!)and after every sentence he would sniff!! sniffing is not a crime, i know, especially when you're sick, i tend to do it too..*sniff* but its the systematic unnecesary sniffing i can't deal with....throughout the presentation he would speak for 4 seconds, then sniff, another 4, sniff, another 4, and a biiiiiig SNIFF...i give him credit for his ability to muster up a variety of sniffs, but YOU JUST SNIFFED FOUR SECONDS AGO, YOU DO NOT NEED TO SNIFF AGAIN! or better yet, blow your nose already!! one second of foghorn sounds is better than a ten-minute sniffles presentation.. at the time of his presentation, i was not angry, quite contrary, i was rolling on the floor laughing everytime he sniffed...not just me, but other people in class too..i was the loudest though and the prof kept looking over at me...i think he thinks im wierd...

p.s. they have such cool font colors now!!!

p.p.s. i am reading "the color purple"
