i'm unstoppable today

♪♫ Unstoppable - Sia

My week off is over now, and guess what?! Its my last week of classes! Next week I start my internship, which I do for two months, then I graduate! I'm so excited! I only have one small piece of homework left to do as well. It feels nice to know that I'm almost done school! Wooo! I will still have assignments to do while I'm doing my internship, but it will just be one small assignment per week. Nothing too difficult!

Going back to my week off... it was a pretty good time. I spent a few days enjoying some alone time (watched shows on Netflix & did some coloring), then I went to visit my boyfriend for the rest of the week. I got to work on my quilt some more, played Detroit: Become Human, did some volunteer work, bought a used Blu-ray at a local store (Event Horizon for only $4!), went out for dinner twice, went for a walk in the park, went to Wal-mart, and more!


As you all know, today is April Fool's day. My grandmother got me good this morning. She told me that our basement was flooding again (we just finished repairs from our basement flooding back in January). She is a good actress. She really had me believing it! Then, a little while later, my boyfriend sent me a YouTube link for a song he said he thought I'd really like. It turned out to be an awful country song (I hate country music). Sadly, I didn't get to trick anyone today!

That is all for now. I'll blog again after I start my internship. I hope everyone is doing well!

hell will freeze over and i'll be damned

The last two weeks have been crazy busy! I'll begin with what happened a couple days after my last blog; I received my collector's edition Blu-ray copy of Wild at Heart in the mail! Its so beautiful! I also received (in a separate order); a faux leather portfolio (for school), plastic sheet covers, and lots of markers for coloring! I've been thinking a lot about getting back into coloring lately. I find it so relaxing!


I got my first credit card recently! I decided that its time to build good credit for myself, so that I can purchase a house in the future. I'm mostly going to be using it to pay off my phone bill every month (then paying off my credit card right away). I am going to be very careful to not use it too often. I don't want any debt! I'm hoping it goes well. Also... they gave me a limit of $2000, which seems like a lot for my first credit card. Most people I know only got $500 for their first one.

Last week was my school's March Break Camp. For anyone who doesn't know; I'm taking child and youth care in college. Our March Break Camp is basically like our exams. Our teacher observes us as we run the entire camp by ourselves. We have to plan activities, purchase supplies, book special guests, etc. Mostly, our teacher wants to see how we work with children. Anyways, it went really well! I found myself feeling really sad at the end of the week when it was over. When I took my camp shirt off after getting home, I took a look at all the signatures from the children and my classmates. I noticed a comment written by a 10 year old girl that I spent a lot of time with and I began to cry. Its just the sweetest thing ever!


Over the weekend, I did a lot of relaxing, but I also got to go out and enjoy myself a bit. I went to the farm market, Wal-mart, the dollar store, and Pizza Hut. I didn't get anything at the farm market, but I purchased over half my groceries at Wal-mart (its super cheap), got a cute sign for my bedroom at the dollar store, and ate garlic fingers at Pizza Hut (plus took home a mini veggie pizza for later). My favorite part of the weekend was eating my veggie pizza and watching That '70s Show in bed.


I heard two big pieces of news in the past week relating to things I'm a fan of. The first one is that Supernatural, my favorite show, is ending. Season 15 is their final season. Part of me is really sad, but I also feel like its time. The show has run out of story lines in my opinion. I will miss it so much and I can't wait to see what Jared and Jensen will do next, but for now, I have one more season to look forward to! I also need to begin re-watching all the seasons sometime soon. Its been a while!

The other piece of news is that Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams (my favorite YouTubers) are now engaged! Shane proposed to Ryland on their three year anniversary. I'm so happy for them! I can't wait to hear more details about it when they release a video. Now I'm just waiting for Jeffree Star and his boyfriend Nathan Schwandt to get engaged! Also, my best friend Kara told me that she is going to buy Jeffree's Blood Sugar eye shadow palette for me as a graduation gift!

Currently, I have a week off from school. Since we had to do a March Break Camp, we were given this week off instead to make up for it. So far, I've been doing homework, watching Netflix, and I made a big pot of spicy vegetarian chili! Tomorrow I have a therapy appointment, then I'm meeting my dad for dinner to give his birthday gift to him. I will also likely go to the book store too. In a couple days, I'm going to visit my boyfriend until Sunday afternoon. When I'm there, I will also be working on my quilt with his mom, doing more homework, and doing some volunteer work for school. I'll also fit some fun activities in there too.


Now I'm gonna go and enjoy the rest of my day. I hope everyone is doing well!

we get down every friday night

After my last blog, I could barely move for a week because I pulled a muscle in my leg during bowling. I didn't realize it at the time, but on Monday when I woke up, I couldn't get out of bed. Luckily it was a snow day, so I just relaxed in bed all day. Then on Tuesday, I took the day off so that my legs could get better. I went to school the rest of the week though. By Friday, my legs were feeling fine, so it wasn't a big inconvenience... thankfully.

On Wednesday, I treated myself to a smoothie from a downtown cafe to cheer myself up because of my leg (I had to meet my class there for a presentation). I used to get them all the time, but it had been a while! It was nice to have something different for breakfast. I usually eat oatmeal with banana slices and almonds every single morning. I think its nice to change things up every so often. The same thing everyday gets boring.


Thursday was the last day of my school week and a pretty great day too! I had no homework to do for the weekend, so I had basically no stress. I got The Love Witch on DVD in the mail, which I have been waiting for since early/mid February. I had jalapeño poppers for supper, which are my favorite food right now. They are so damn addicting! Finally, I watched the new episode of Riverdale and re-watched some episodes of Twin Peaks!


This past weekend was busy. On Friday evening, I was in charge of the youth centre that I volunteer at. The director was sick and so I was asked to open and close. The night went well, aside from a crazy guy coming in. I had to kick him out, but thankfully he didn't argue with me about it. On Saturday, I hung out with two friends for a couple hours at the local library, my boyfriend and I played Magic, we also watched Dune, we went to the mall (I bought two books for myself), and I colored a pretty picture of a butterfly. Sunday was mostly dedicated to working on my Halloween quilt with my boyfriend's mom. I have finally finished the sewing, so now I'm doing the actual quilting part!


I have the day off from school today. Our teacher told us to just go get our supplies for camp today, but my group doesn't need anything, so I just slept in and decided there was no point in going out today. My other teammates agreed. Its nice to have another day off from school. Wooo! I plan to do a little bit of school work today, some cleaning, and lots of relaxing!

my heart is yours

Life has been eventful since my last blog. I went to my boyfriend's friend's wedding. It was pretty fun! There were nerdy elements, which I thought was super cool! They had music from the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings soundtracks. Also, each table was a different fandom. My boyfriend and I were placed at the Doctor Who table! Although it was fun, we did head out early because we're introverts and we were tired, haha.


After the wedding, I spent the week with my boyfriend. We went for a fall walk, I met up with a friend for lunch, I binge watched all of The Haunting of Hill House (which is definitely in my top five favorite shows ever now), my boyfriend's mom gave me quilting lessons (& let me pick out the fabrics - I went with a Halloween theme), and lots more! I've been feeling down lately, but that week definitely made me feel better.


Since I've gotten back home, I've had a therapy appointment, which went well. I left feeling better, which is rare for therapy. I usually feel bad for a few days, then better. Anyways, aside from that, nothing else is new. I'm just waiting to hear back from college about finishing my course. I can't see why I wouldn't get back in (I withdrew for medical reasons before). But, there is still always that chance it won't happen, which is scary. Wish me luck!
