That’s all I’ve got. Goin’ to bed early. Zzzzzzzzzz.

Hello hello,

Busy week here

On Tuesday I had orientation at Capilano. It was kind of not very exciting. I mean it was good, but I felt mega awkward because I don’t know anyone and also I am almost ten years older than most of the kids there. Fun times. I left early.

So far I am really liking my classes, but I am also having mega anxiety about it. I am not used to this whole “make a thing and make sure it is not crappy cause we are going to talk about it” stuff. I am probably being too hard on myself (uh it was the first week and also I am not going to school because I already know how to do everything). I just hope I’ll start to deal with it better.

Anyways, I wanted to share these with you because it came up in a class and I was like whoa what? It is basically Japanese crop art, made by growing different colours of rice plants. I know, right.

Also today I went to the Vancouver Art Gallery with Steph and looked at lots of old timey art.

At one point we saw a picture of people playing a game on ice and I was like “HEY IT IS ICE GOLF” and then it turned out it actually was! Ha!

Oh and one of the paintings had the word “slut” in the description and we kind of high fived over it.

Apparently the red stockings and the dog symbolize that this woman was a hussy. Also maybe I should know this was painted by Vermeer (the exhibit was called “Vermeer, Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art”).

Oh yes and in case you are wondering Steph and I were the most obnoxious people there. I kept getting in trouble any time I touched a wall – NO LEANING ALLOWED. Yet some other guy could reach over one of those blocking things and touch the 50′s couch? Riddle me that.

We kept making inappropriate jokes and laughing about everything. I am sure all the serious business people were not very impressed. And it was the last day so of course it was super busy. Good times!

At one point I went over to look at a Rembrandt painting and I was all “HEY EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT THIS ONE I BET IT IS IMPORTANT HMMN WHY IS IT SO SMALLLLL?” because there was a huge group of people around it and also chairs so you could sit and admire it. I am awesome at art.

I bought a Student membership so I can go back whenever the crap I want. This is exciting to me!

P.S. Steph is a monster.

I really do not know how anyone can enjoy these abominations.

I think I “need” a new camera. These were taken with my cell phone (well, the ones that are mine) but my actual camera is being a jerk also. It’s about 6 years old now, I can justify a new one right? Can someone please buy one for me, pretty please?

Oh also I am going to share this video with you so that you know I really do come from Alberta:

Love it! I AM READY TOO!

I was a very bad girl tonight. I was supposed to meet Val at the gym. I got all the way to the train before I realized I had forgotten my lock. I sent her a text to make sure she was still going, because I hadn’t heard from her since last night, and hoped she’d get back to me quick.

I did not want to go if she wasn’t going, because I didn’t want to have to carry my stuff with me at the gym. She was at work so she didn’t get back to me right away. I decided to wait three trains before I gave up. After the fourth, I headed back home.

Maine had walked with me to the train, and on the way back I tried to pout for a peppermint mocha. He said he wasn’t sure if I was trying to be pouty or sexy, and said I probably didn’t need coffee at this point.

So we came home and I made a Ghettomint Hot Chocolate.

Ingredients:

1 mint tea bag (They gave away boxes of tea at my last day of work. Cha-ching!)
chocolate syrup
1 mug of milk
something to make it be hot

Step 1:

Place milk and tea bag in pot.

Step 2:

Administer heat.

Step 3:

Pour into cute mug.

Step 4:

Apply sauce.
(Please note the bruise on my hand from where Bert BIT ME.)

Step 5:

Stir! Then gloat to boyfriend and enjoy!

Now, before I leave you, LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY! (Or rather, September 3 according to the parcel slip from Canada Post that did not make it to my mail box until today, wtf mailman what were you doing with it.)

Oh my I can’t wait to glee all over it.

And also!

Ok so it is kind of a long running joke between some of my friends and I that Mars is the dolphin of space. Seriously. One time we watched a movie about the Deep Ocean and there was like 20 minutes of stupid dolphin frolicking in it.

It’s the same deal with Mars: We watched a show about the UNIVERSE and there was a huge chunk of it devoted to Mars. Ok we get it, Mars is the closest and the least filled with peril so it is only natural that we know the most about it when comparing to other more perilous planets. However! I do not need an hour devoted to a planet that is basically some red dust and dry ice.

With that being said, you can imagine how much Maine and I lol’d when we saw this picture while flipping through the book:

Stupid dolphins! GET OUT OF MY SPACE BOOK!
