i finally find the time to sit down and write/blog about what's happened.
i've managed to secure housing for another year - and though at a higher price than before, i think it'll be worth it. i will be staying at Underhill Drive, which is a block from school and a block from my workplace. now you understand why it's totally worth the extra dollars (however you may say 'ouch' for me).
this coming semester, i have been elected to the position of New Member Coordinator of my sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta. it's an awesome and fun post, but a time-consuming one at that. i am in charge of the new girls who come into our group (which can range anything from 1 and up. scary thought aint' it.)
today, i met up with the ever-cheery NMC Kim who's leaving AGD to concentrate on her final year of studies. she passed me what felt like 300 files (but really is only 7 HUGE files). my arms are killing me. stab stab stab.
other than all that really fun stuff, i am thinking about taking a break from being in a relationship. it isn't That big a deal, there's no crying, or sobbing, or boohoos. we're talking it out, and the details will be sussed out later. he's leaving for the rigs for 4 months straight (we think), so this boils down to a practical decision. i laughed and cried at the same time when he told me his plan. so, i'd really like to not hear any boohoos or hoorahs from you guys okay? (:
oh! oh! oh! i brought over a PORTION (tiny tiny Tiny portion) of my brother's X-men card collection. they're baseball-sized cards, with the image of the X-men (villain or hero) on one side and their super powers on the other side. AND i so have plans for 'em --- i want to frame 'em up like a poster! how cool's that? (: i know you want to see 'em!
btw, fiz. i'm looking up flights to NYC now. prices are about US$850 from Calgary. sounds decent yeah? (: woohoo. now i just need the right dates to book my flight.
here are snippets of my recent trip around the world. and i think you've seen melbourne (in my previous post).
i have a thing for construction signs. but i couldn't figure out the meaning of this sign for the life of me. if you know what this means, TELL ME! taken in: Hong Kong
mom and me, in Hong Kong. waiting for the bus that felt like it almost never came. all in all, these few weeks away from Calgary was not good, it was GREAT! (:p/s: my mom says that my smiles are more like grins. she says that a Real smile only shows 4 teeth. when i tried smiling like that, i looked like an idiot - bugs bunny teeth and all. :D
the rest of the pictures will be going onto Facebook in time. the link will be posted here. soon.
love you so so much,
val
