back...kinda...

Well hello there! Sorry about the hiatus, I've been busy. But don't fret, I'm back with a full course load, 15 pounds less and a couple of good things going on. I've recently been pre-selected to participate in this year's Canada's World Youth program. Now all I need is to so my medical and hopefully, I'll be off for 8 months by the end of the year. I haven't been knitting at all, instead I've been busy hitting the gym, seeing old friends, flirting and studying.

I'm working on planning a couple of Montreal events for Couchsurfing and well...yeah. Everything is in a good place and I'm just...really happy and satisfied right now. I know, it's strange. Those who know me will know understand that.

There are still one or two things that are irking me but other than that...I guess I'm in a good place and don't really have anything to whine about. So here's to hoping that this is the trend for 2009. Good things and even gooder things to all of us :D

School

I'm a geek. I am! I adore school and have since my first day of kindergarten. And well, in the past couple of years I've lost the drive to learn. I think that being in a learning establishment non-stop from the age of 5 had taken it's toll. But this semester I was ready to head back with some new found motivation. And back I went. My classes start on thursday and I'm actually nervous. I know...silly right?!?

Anyhow, remind me that I was excited when I start bitching about midterms and my lack of social life due to papers and reading!

Knitting stuff soon!

What's going on here...

Well I haven't been knitting much today. I just wasn't feeling it... But I did register to go back to class, did yoga, gave blood and went to work. That was enough to make me feel über productive :D

What did YOU do today????????

UFO's

Today I realized that I don't have as many unfinished objects as I thought I did. Yay! I've got my Muir which I just got extra yarn for. Then there's a pair of socks. Note that I didn't include the Clap in this. That is because I have to trek out to buy some yarn for it and I'm actually just thinking of frogging it and making in a little narrower...And that is IT people!!!!!! Woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last year I made some resolutions and well...I've kinda kept them. I finished (or frogged) what I started and actually came out with quite a pile of finished objects, 22 to be exact. Not too shabby! I also started a lace project, which I hope to finish really soon! And well the whole sweater thing...bah I've no excuse but really, who fucking cares :D

For 2009, I choose to not give myself set goals. I just want to try new stuff and expand my knowledge. Period. So here's to hoping it all works out!

Board Games

I got some board games during this past holiday season and I've come to realize that they are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight is a Scene It and Harry Potter Scene It championship with some friends. Gotta love nights like this!

Toodles!

Doing stuff...

With my best friend, we've decided to get out of the not doing anything slump. We've decided to DO stuff. I know it sounds really silly but usually we want to do things but we end up sitting at the pub talking about how we should do something else...

So we made a list.

Tonight we crossed one thing off, we went to see a "non-NHL" hockey game since a friend had gifted me with some tickets. It was a fairly violent game, the crowd was loud and rowdy, we saw kids puking in the stairs after the game (too many hot dogs I guess...) and we had an overall good time! I really think that we can get through the whole list which includes crazy things for example: curling, crazy carpet-ing, having a fondue supper and going to see a band we've never heard of.

I made my own list too. I decided that I was going to attempt NaBloPoMo every other month - as you can see by the daily january blog posts!!! (yes yes I know it's only Jan 2nd) For the rest, well I guess you'll get to find out as things happen here :D

Toodles!

Woot an FO!

The year starts well! I finished my Livia sock today so that's already one thing finished this year. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come :D
