Naturally, I am never around. This is because I have become too preoccupied with Facebook as my blogging/communications tool of choice when I have free time (which, let me assure you, is hardly ever). I still come back to read, but I have gotten very, very behind on pretty much everyone's life, and that makes me emo inside. T_T No really, it does. ♥

Anyway, I am sleepy and going to bed, but I <3 you all. xD;

So the holidays have drawn to a close, and we're back to school. I can't decide if I'm looking forward to it or not. I mean, I enjoy the freedom and independence I have there as opposed to here, but I really, really don't want to face up to the workload. I have a couple more courses this term than I did in September, and I could hardly keep on top of my work last term. It'll be an adventure, that's for sure.

James and I went out to dinner on Thursday, and it was a fabulous time. Though, it was kind of funny, he pretty much opened the conversation with, "I'm not going to propose to you tonight," which set an interesting tone for the night because I definitely wasn't even thinking about that. But anyway, we headed for Tomasso's for a lovely meal. I had the Chicken Parmigiano and it was scrumptious, despite not being able to finish it. However, when I had it chopped up in a wrap the next day, it was just as yummy. I also had part of a sundae after dinner which was equally tasty. After dinner, we sat by the river for awhile and it was just gorgeous. If only it could be nighttime all the time in Trenton, you'd never see how much of a shithole this place really is.

I had a relatively productive day today. Finished cleaning the seats of my car (which, judging by the filth that came out of the buttons in the seats, probably hadn't been done in several years), took a vacuum to the carpet and cleaned 'er up nicely. My brother and I had started the project yesterday but we spread it out over two days.

After finishing up my car, my brother and I helped my dad rip about three layers of linoleum out of the kitchen. There are gorgeous hardwood floors under that linoleum. Well, they will be gorgeous anyway, after being sanded down a bit and having a fresh coat of poly.

I really need to be packing up and getting ready to go back, but I painted my nails a few hours ago (while watching the Leafs drop a bad game to the Sabres) and they're still kind of soft, and I don't want to ruin them anymore than they already have been. Sigh.

Pretend this is a thoughtful ending, I can't think of anything. ♥

Happy new years everyone!

I hope you all had a fabulous (yet safe) evening last night, and welcome to yet another year. We didn't do much last night besides drink, listen to music rather loudly, watch Alex and his friends streak around his house in the rain, and play around with Adam's Wii (goodness that sounds wrong). Despite not drinking a whole lot (well, I didn't feel like I drank a lot anyway), I felt sick until about 6:00 in the morning, which is about when we went to sleep. Not that late when you consider that Jean and Adam didn't leave until 5:15ish.

Had a wonderful wake-up call around noon and snarfed down some pizza while watching Constantine with James. It was a good time overall, though I didn't get many pictures... sadness. :(

As for right now...I'm kind of hungry, so I'm going to snarf some peanut butter and maybe hit the hay early. Night all, and happy 2007!

I've definitely been looking at pictures of hairstyles for the past hour and a bit. *sigh* I decided I need to get my hair cut a bit because the length is getting excessive (to think, before I thought it wasn't long enough unless it was to my waist, now it's at my bra strap and I want to cut it off), but I decided to take the plunge (lol) and get layers *gasp*. A couple of people have suggested it might look good on me but I'm trying to find some pictures that are similar to the length I want to go so I can give my stylist an idea. Hooray.

God I feel girly.

Hey Livejournal, it's been a long time...

I feel bad for not updating my journal over such a long period of time, but I was just absolutely swamped with school and RAC and all that. I let it get the better of me, for sure, still haven't kicked the procrastination bug and it proceeded to take over my life, haha. I guess this is just a short little post to say I am reading and hopefully will be posting/commenting more over the next little while since I've resolved (again) to try and kick the bug.

Love you all, and I hope your holiday season is going great so far.

♥ Jennifer

pink_teacups's livejournal reminded me of this, so haha, deal with it.

COMBAT CARDS 2.1

In other news, I'm not dead... yet. So many papers, but I'm working on my last one. Yikes. D:

If anyone wants to call/text me, my cell number is (905)-658-8921... figured it might be easier that way since I rarely get on here. xD;

Thankfully I'm almost out of the midterm stretch. I had three last week, and they all went relatively well actually. I killed stats, but I was confident about that one to begin with. I also killed my 8P14 quiz, but that was just too easy (and I overstudied for it). 2P38...eh...I'm not so sure about that one, but I know I passed. :P

I just have one more left (Current Trends and Issues in Special Education) and then I can start catching up on like a month's worth of readings. >>;

So as probably none of you know (or remember -- don't worry, I don't blame you), today marks my five-year anniversary with James. Five years... looking back to the first year or two, I wasn't sure we'd make it this far. We both had our own issues to deal with, and quite a lot of the time they clashed and we were too young and inexperienced to know how to handle that. (I suggest that if you're not a fan of mush, scroll down.)

But now we're both in university pursuing our own interests and career goals, and it's strange how although they have absolutely nothing to do with each other, our plans just seem to fit together. We've found a way to grow (together) and experience new things, and integrate them into our lives in a smooth, peaceful manner, and most importantly of all... I love being with him. Sure it gets hard sometimes, but the hard times are few and far between now that we've both grown up a little bit. Thinking about our lives in the past, and the possibilities for the lives we have ahead of us...it's exciting really. It's exciting and motivating to see where we'll go next. We've overcome huge obstacles to stay together (the distance is a good one, among other issues), and now we're just...happy. I love it, and most of all, I love you, James. ♥

Hey everyone, I'm back! ...well, okay, not really.

I realize it's been a long time since I've updated, but here I am. Things have actually been pretty busy lately, busier than I anticipated. A lot of things were going on with RAC the first little while, and now I'm just buried under the workload. I finally understand that people weren't lying when they said Concurrent Education was hard. It's not so much the subject matter that's hard as it is the amount of work/classes.

And for some reason I took philosophy as my humanities context credit. Why oh why did I take philosophy? I thought it would be a subject I could get into, but when doing the readings the other day, I was just horribly confused. Maybe I just need to get into it a little more.

Aside from that, the courses are going alright. I can't say how interested I am, but hopefully that'll pass as I get into a regular sleeping pattern and aren't going to all my classes exhausted. I'm a little annoyed that it doesn't seem like I'll be able to use my laptop in a couple of my lectures (as they're actually lecture/seminars, smaller groups of people in a particular lecture) because I've become so accustomed to typing notes, my handwritten notetaking is horrible.

Also, the hallmates? Not too bad! I've actually hung out with my broomie (our new condensed term for bathroom-mate) more times in the past couple weeks than I did over the entire course of last year. My only complaint is that the rest of the hall seems to always be really loud, even two or three hours past quiet hours. Oh, and my Don doesn't really do anything. -.-; I'm more of a rule-enforcer than he's managed to be so far. *sigh*

Anyways, off to relax or get some more work done!

'kay, I'm still very busy because I'll be helping run O-Week for the next little while.
