so I've been here for 19 days and I am already heading home in two weeks. To you who wanted to borrow books, I'll bring some back at Thanksgiving.

This, by the way, is exactly my life: Hyperbole and a Half

best things about being back

-Heather and I can knock on our shared wall cause our beds are like, right beside each other. we were planning on secretly punching a hole in the wall so we could talk too but I'm not so sure we'd get away with that one...

-friends that I can drink with. not excessively, but once in a while

-being able to shut my door this year but also being able to find people whenever

-boredom buster!!

-Friends - currently on season 2, disc 4!

-euchre, crib, blitz

-starting class at 11, 12:30, 11, 9:30, and then 11 again. most slack schedule ever

-choir!!

-937 and Hiatus

-straightening hair

-cooking is an adventure

-McDick's runs

-putting up pictures!! and taking them =D

not that I would know, never having really been drunk, but I'm pretty sure it's the dumbest thing. last night sort of proved that, as my friends were rather farther gone than I was and I could tell how lame they* were.

it was a good night anyway.

Hey everybody,

I'm pretty sure everybody who follows this blog is a Fraser Valleyite or former FVCH student, so you probably all know about Michael Kraan. Please remember to keep him and his family in your prayers.

If you don't know what happened, he was in a car accident yesterday. He was t-boned by a semi and airlifted to hospital and is currently in a coma. I definitely don't know details but it is a scary situation and they are all in need of prayer and support.

Weekend in the Rockies. Enough said.

as a side note, you can tell what a terrible friend you are when you are about to tell somebody that your car is full and you actually don't have space for anybody else, when in reality a whole seat is being taken up by a TV that you don't really need. It's a pretty bad moment when you are considering bringing the TV back to school in lieu of your friend.

"It is not what other people say or do to us that defines our life ... it is our response."

Andrew is full of these quotes lately. And this one definitely registers with me because of how this weekend went. Regardless of how my roommates' quirks are going to niggle at me and frustrate me, it's the way I respond that is going to define who I am. My roommates might be frustrating sometimes - that's what roommates do, like siblings - but my response shouldn't be to complain or to lose my temper. I think it's too late in this instance, but I'm going to need a shift in my attitude for the next eight months.

I forgot about the shitty internet.
