Overly Excitingly Boring

That's my current life situation.

Overly exciting in the sense that I have way too much going on,

But boring in the sense that my life is packed with boring things.

T^T

So, here's a sum up of things that are worthy of noting:

it was 1am.... can't blame me for lookin the way I do.. :(

Last week, 

There was 3 fire alarms.

3!!

3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All at a wonderful time - midnight. -_-!

Some bum was happily making supper and then all crap broke loose.

I feel sorry for this 1 guy though- he came down in a towel.

And it's freezing now... 

On the plus side,

I now know some of my building mates.

****

So when I go to work,

I need to take 2 buses.

But on Sunday, the 1st doesn't run that early (7.45).

So I take a morning jog every Sunday to get to the 2nd bus stop.

However,

Today I was tired, so I decided not to jog and just walk.

But snoozed too long and took my own sweet time to get ready that,

I went from a planned jog, to deciding on a nice stroll, 

To actually doing a full out sprint!

:(

****

I killed another huge spider!!! :D :D 

And it didn't disappear on me like the last time! :D

What's with Canada and their spiders??? D:

****

 So this week was actually one of my happier weeks! :D :D 

Last Friday, I skyped with 2 of my besties!!

didn't get to talk to my coach though (the one at the bottom)

I haven't spoken to them in forever!! <3 <3

And! I spoke Chinese to them! HAHA!

I haven't spoken Chinese in FOREVER!

(Cuz they're the only people I speak Chinese to, so forever haven't spoken to them = forever haven't spoken Chinese........ if that wasn't clear...... :P)

Honestly, it was kinda awkward at first... but I got use to it in awhile. :P

****

Yesterday night I met up with some old buddies from way back home who also came to Canada!! :D

Scattered among different Uni's.

Girls all from whr I'm from                              Guys all from Iran
:D

All the way from Ottawa! She came down to visit, thus the dinner!

Me= nominated valedictorian....Amir= actual valedictorian
T^T

It was so great catching up with them! :D 

Well, I actually only know the 2 that I have individual pics with.

But the rest were apparently in the same school as I though. 

We went to Boston Pizza!

Food was great! :) A lil pricey but HUGE portions!

Anyways,

We had a really awesome time! :D :D 

Reminded me of the days when I use to hang out with all my HS friends!

Ahhhh... Those were the golden years. C:

****

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE BEEN OUT OF HS FOR 3 YEARS NOW!!! :O
O.O

When I Grow Up.. I'm Gonna...

Be living in a big house, filled with toys! 

:D

....

To be young and not have a worry in the world..

 10 years back, I had some pretty good ideas on where I'd like to be today.

Some are checked off :D others....

I definitely thought I'd be back in Canada - checked!

Didn't actually think I'd be a gymnast though I really wanted to join! - so kinda checked? 

:D :D :D :D 

Academically successful- More or less 

blotches are things I rather not be on the net! :P

Be on TV - kinda checked

back stage practicing! (didn't even get to see myself on TV! :(  )

Be at least 5'7'! - nope

Be smoking hot and drop dead gorgeous :P - nope

Be rich and famous - nope

Be on top of my readings  - nope 
Be in a steady relationship - nope

Been to majority of the world - nope (unless both ends & not the middle counts..)

So.... 

1 check, 1 more or less, 2 kindas, 6 nopes

T^T

But, looking back on all of these, 

I was a pretty superficial kid eh. (I blame the media :P )

Drop dead gorgeous? Rich & Famous?

:S

Anyways,

My point is, life just never turns out the way we hope it will.

We all have ideas of where our lives are headed.
And in most cases, things just don't turn out the way we hope.
So, 
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
And 10 years ago today,
Did you see yourself where you are now?
I'm pretty glad with where I am. C:
(even though I'm no where near where I thought I'd be D: ) 
Are you? 
Here's a lil song my mom kept singing to me when I was younger! :D

Percy Jackson

<3 C:

If you guys remember, 

Way way back, I wrote bout my love for Rick Riordan's books,

And I said the next one was out this fall.

Well, 
Bought it. Read it!

AND! Got it SIGNED!!!!

<3 <3 <3 :D :D :D 

Unfortunately, this is pre-signed. :(

He actually came up here for a signing

But the line was massive!!!! I soo wanted to meet him! :(

yea, I was the oldest fan their :( no, wait.. my sis was! :P

But in the end, I just settled for one that he touched. :/

So, this is the second book of this series (total 5)-

The Heroes of Olympus

Which continues from his earlier series (total 5)-

The Percy Jackson Series

All just simply amazing!!!

If you haven't read them,

So totally do!!!
It's because of his books that I took my Myth in Ancient Greece and Rome course! :P

 The story is about demigods (kids born of human and Greek god) and their lives as demigods;
Being toyed around by the gods and fighting their battles.
(ok, so that's a pretty bad summary, but I'm no Rick Riordan)
This new series introduces new characters, but are kids of Roman gods, 
Which is pretty much the same as Greek. Just different names.
Anyways, 
Read it and you'll see why I'm so obsessed! :D
In this new book, The son of Neptune (Percy!)
There's a new character- Frank
He's Canadian..AND CHINESE!
Heheheh! 
I feel so represented!! HAHA! :P
Anyhow,
Unlike the others, this book ended so calmly.
Usually, when each book ends,
Your heart is racing, mind is wandering, jaw is hanging. 
But this.. it was just so pleasant. 
Plenty of questions still unanswered, but it didn't end with a big "WHAT??"
Which worries me.
Probably means book 3 - The Mark of Athena
Is gonna be intense!
It's like the calm before the storm. :S
Well, that's another year of waiting..
Boo...
Till then,

<3 XOXO

*****

So! it's getting cold and gloomy again! :(

But on the bright side, all the bugs are GONE!!! :D :D

*****

I'm not only teaching my students gymnastics, 

I'm also teaching them new words! :D

Yesterday one of the girls pointed that out to me!

it was dead n stuck on the wall right in front of my leg! o.O

Me: holy moly!

Lil girl: *giggle* holy moly! *giggle*

Me: Oops..... Don't say that....

It's not that "holy moly" is that bad a word,

But I just don't think her parents would appreciate her saying that. :/

So, note to self, Shut up.

But don't tell students to!

Which I almost did! :( 

There was this 1 girl! 

grrrrrrrrrr!!!

I almost told her to shut it multiple times, but I didn't.....

In my defense,

I did say cranky linnies would be here more often than not... 

*****

A lil thrill among my students is to guess how old I am.

Usually they think I'm in high school.

However, today one of them thought I was in JUNIOR high!

HAHA! 

She thought I was only in grade 8 (that's 13 years old)!! O.O

-no wonder I still get carded- 

But some people think my sis is younger or the same age as me.

What does that say about her?? hehe!

I guess Asians just don't age! :D

It's worked to my advantage though,

Got away with a lot of things.

But gosh, really. 
I'm old enough to stay out at night.

*****

Yesterday was Nuit Blanche,

Took some pics of some art work,

And batman.

But I don't look good in that pic so :P

Spidey man was there too, but he was bombarded with so many people, I didn't bother.

*****

Saw Sandra Oh in person!

who knew she was Canadian!

*****

Cam-whored

don't let the sun fool u.. it was coldddd!

I'm so vain sometimes,
I should have a new alter ego- Vain Linnies

*****

Looking back at my old posts,

I sound kinda conceited! :O

But when all you're talking about is yourself,

I guess it's hard not to sound full of yourself! :S

*****

And oh ya!

so ouchieeeeeeeee!! :C

I PIERCED MY EAR!
