Life Update

Filed Under: ,

So since it is way too hot for me to be energetic right now, I'm going to make a list! Lists are great when you're a lazy bum like me.

Since I last updated, I...

  1. Accepted a university offer of admission! If you're interested, I accepted to The University of Western Ontario for a combined 5-year degree in Honours Biomedical Sciences and Honours Business Administration.

  2. Finally got my peace and quiet after the flooring guys moved out.

  3. Got to wear a dress for the first time this year! YAY SUMMER! (Although, it felt like 35 degrees today and I was not pleased by the afternoon)

  4. Reconnected with an old friend from middle school!

  5. Loved the last couple of weeks!

I can't wait for high school to be over, and I can not wait to go to Europe with Nick in July!  We still have so much planning to do regarding what we want to do in each city... we will be visiting Paris, Nice, Antibes, Prague, Munich, Frankfurt, and Rome, so if anyone has any suggestions on what we MUST visit, feel free to comment!

What is the weather like where you live, and what climate do you prefer?

A Love/Hate Relationship With Sawdust

Filed Under:

My house has become an obstacle course. When I wake up in the morning, I ninja myself out of my room by crouching and jumping over a pile of wood... only to trip on a wooden block on the way to the bathroom because I'm chuckling at how stealthy I was.

When I come home from school, I need to literally dance around all the pieces of wood that are in between the front entrance and the snack cupboard. (One day there was a huge stack of wood in front of it, and I nearly had a fit. It was the bag of chips left out on the counter that saved me.)

I should probably explain why there's so much wood in the house. My parents decided that we were going to remove all the carpet in the house and replace it with either hardwood or cork flooring. So that means.. THE ENTIRE SECOND FLOOR, THE STAIRS, AND HALF OF THE MAIN FLOOR. There have been workers here every single day for the past week, and it's still not done.

And don't even talk to me about sawdust.

Having OCD tendencies, I HATE it when things are messy... so you can only imagine what I look like everyday when I come home from school. If you can't, here's an image:


SAWDUST. EVERYWHERE. EVERYTHING SMELLING LIKE SAWDUST.  *brain explodes*

I used to LOVE the smell of sawdust, whenever I walked past the woodshop in school, I'd linger there a bit to smell the wood. But now... my relationship with sawdust is like the relationship between a sandwich and a locker.

It has become moldy.

Have home renovations ever given you this much grief?

Time for an Update?


It's been a while since I put up a new header and footer set, so ...

I decided to do that. [/anticlimax]

After bashing the way giraffes chew, I decided to make it up to them because giraffes are, you know, pretty awesome.

"Regina, your blog has had the same style for a gazillion years!"

I suck at coding in general, which is why I don't care mess with the layout of this too much. Also, Blogger scares me with their codes, because, again, I suck at coding. If there's anyone out there who absolutely can not stand the fact that I never change the coding, and would like to help, please help me :P

I also just noticed how massive the shoe in the footer is. Hehe, get it, it's a footer...? *BADUMCHHH*

Ahem.

In other news, school's the same and I still haven't heard from the program I want to go to yet. :( And just in case there are people wondering, "WHAT HAPPENED TO HER BLOG LIST IN THE SIDE BAR?" It's on a different page... which you can go to via the side bar! I love sidebars.

Anyways, let me know what you think of the giraffe! I'm in a really random mood today.
