WOW. I now know the true meaning of boredom = economics class!!! ack..i walked outside in the freezing cold that long 1 minute walk to bricker academic, and our prof was 15 minutes late. on top of that she has an accent (which isn't her fault, cuz she's austrailian) but it BUGS me!! on top of that i was tired and just came from business 121 for 1.5 hrs. on top of that economics is just uber-boring in general. on top of that...me and chris broke up for like 5 seconds this morning which was pretty scary...no thats not the word for it..whatever i hope he knows he's a POOHEAD.i can only pray that things get better...theres only so much one can do (FATE, IS IT?)well everything's in God's hands for me =) gotta stay strong cuz its the only thing that keeps me going...

anyway, just got back from the library for the business venture project, and we ended up finishing alot earlier than expected. then..went to the 6th floor and found the most AMAZING BUSINESS PLAN BOOKS!! who woulda thought i'd get excited about books, but yeah...they're soo AWESOME! the table of contents was completely wow-ing. our venture thing is gonna ROCK everyon'es socks off. i took out four of them, and my group-mate took like 10. wow...they were heavy and then i stopoped at the book store and finally gave in and bought my textbooks for soc that i DON'T EVEN WANT. *sigh* why are we forced to spend hundreds on textbooks we won't read? well..yeah so now my shelves have books on them! lots n' lots so if u need books come over and take some from me!!! =) and now i look nerdy!!! *grins* 8D

THANK GOD we found a house!!! 348 spruce street, which is about a 12 minute walk. its a very good looking house at a very good price. and since its for 5 people, our landlord checked it out and said we could have one more person in the living room which is just AWESOME!! haha now dan and howard don't have to share a room :P but yeha...its only 3 years old and pretty big. gonna put liek a king bed in there plus a couch. so excited!

Today is World AIDS Day

HIV is one of the biggest social, economic and health challenges in the world. It is a global emergency claiming over 8,000 lives every day. In fact 5 people die of AIDS every minute.

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. This is the virus known to cause AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). If someone is HIV-positive, it means they have been infected with the virus.

A person infected with HIV does not have AIDS until the virus seriously damages their immune system, making them vulnerable to a range of infections, some of which can lead to death.

HIV is transmitted through body fluids in particular blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk, in fact there are only four ways you can become HIV positive.

In 2005, over 3 million people acquired HIV, which means there are now over 40 million people living with HIV and AIDS. Despite best efforts from governments, non-profit organisations and healthcare practitioners around the world, HIV and AIDS is still having huge global impact.

In the UK, there are fewer people dying of AIDS but incidences of HIV in the UK than ever before. With testing and proper treatment, through anti-HIV drugs, many people in the UK are now able to halt or delay the damage caused by HIV.



COUNTDOWN TIL' CHRISTMAS: 24 days!

*sigh* mixed up feelings right now..so many things are on my mind right now i'm not sure where to start..i guess its time to blog. well first of all, its 1:34 and just got off the phone with chris. i'm supposed to study for an hr and then go to bed, but meh.

well midterms, papers and end-of-term projects are all finished, having presented our venture project last week which i think went quite well...now is the time to start studying for those killer FINALS!! as i see it they don't have to be killer..but i've procrastinated enough that as spread out as they are, i'm still gonna end up cramming the night before..

okay so why did i take this job? to get money for christmas..but now that i have it, i need to take some time off...and definitely not working in Toronto next term.its way too stressful and screws up my time so BADLY. i thought it would save alot of problems..not having spending money, helpign out pay for school, letting me go back to toronto and see people, but that didn't really work out..so UH.if they don't let me off, i'm gonna tell them i can't work anymore. pooey. gonan miss that place..working at toyRus is actually really fun, and i don't wanan leave! so many cute kids and funny stuff happens. like this woman just started changing her baby's diaper on the check-out counter. YUP. kinda gross. i wonder where she threw the diaper...

being a girl SUCKS cuz girl's get EMOTIONAL. and its so hard to understand or make anyone else understand even the people who are closest to you..just..i guess..i feel like i'm being pulled so many ways, and i wanna do so many things, and try to make everyone happy but eveyrone knows that's impossible. and then i guess right now this long-distance thing is making everything even harder, and i feel like i'm trapped..i have to do certain things to make this relationship WORK up to YOUR expectations..but i CAN'T do them.

all i can say is...i'm not strong enough..no more tuff-cookie for you.

anyway, i still can't sleep...

so last tuesday 4 plus alex jumped in his car and went back to the T-DOT for PASSION Toronto, which was a concert given by Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, and David Crowder Band. we got there at 3:30ish started lining up, but it wasn't even that crowded..so the concert didn't even start till 7:30...it was good though!..nice bonding time in that 4 hrs of freezing weather. well Passion was amazing...Louie Giglio spoke about the universe, and how God is really much bigger than anything we can imagine..if we can't even imagine how big our own milky way is, much less the universe, we're not even close to imagining how great God--who made everything--is. something that really touched me was the prayer triangles we had..and how God hears us..no matter how small and insignificant we are..and how much we turn away from him. i KNOW he hears us, and cares...and as Louie said we can't expect things to go our way..but God has a plan for us =)

another update on ESL aka. english-second-language team @ Softball Intramurals....we won our first playoff game!! just two more to go till finals! haha we'll show them that chinese people CAN play SOFTBALL.

well not much left to write about..except i have this new obsession (after sudoku) of making snowflakes..yesterday i sat for two hours makign them..and yestrday shannon stayed up till 2!! hilarious girl...yah so here's some pics of me and char's decorated and newly renovated room
