Happiness is...

So far, I like this semester. It's not that I didn't like last semester, but I think I like this one better. Don't get me wrong, I really, really enjoyed those 3 weeks we had off because of the strike, but I think that classes this term are easier. Maybe they're not easier. Maybe I'm just getting accustomed to university life, and am accepting the work load that comes with it. No. I think it's just easier:)
Yesterday, my room mate and I went to look at the place we want to live in next year. It is quite nice and I'm excited! It's a lot less money than the place we're in now, and it's only about 2 years old...as opposed to the ancient place we're living in now. Okay, not ancient. It just needs some attention. Renovations wouldn't hurt this place a bit. It's okay though. We've made it our little home for this year. Anyways. We're going to be living in apartments that are for low income people...that would explain why there's a ton of university students living in them! There are 3 floors and we're going to be living on the 3rd floor in a corner apartment. There are lots of windows and a kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms, and a bathroom with a door that stays shut:) It comes with a fridge and an oven, both which were purchased new when the apartments were built. The fridge looks ginormous compared to the one we have right now. It's a normal size fridge, but the one we have this year is one of the little smaller ones.
That's pretty much my exciting news.
Oh wait, one more thing...
2 DAYS TILL THE WEEKEND!!!!!

My Encouraging Evening

I just came home from a GREAT evening out! My friend and I went to a coffee place in Brandon called Forbidden Flavours. For those of you back home, it's kind of like Java Junktion, only I like it better :) It has nice leather couches to sit on and it's set up a little different, but the menu is pretty similar. Anyways, we spent about 2 hours there, and I really enjoyed my time. We got to talking about priorities in life, and she really encouraged me in a few things in my life. I need to change some things and straighten out my priorities. One thing I am changing is that I am not going to go on Facebook for a while. I'm not sure how long, but I am always very distracted when I go on Facebook and I spend so much time on it and I always am sorry how much time I've spent on it when I finally sign off. So I'm doing this as a trial. I've left my status saying that if people want to get a hold of me, they can email me. I don't think Facebook is necessary. Anyways, that's my first of a few changes that need to be made in my life. I was so inspired this evening and just completely encouraged. Wow. I love this feeling!!!!

Back to the Daily Grind

Well, I'm back at school. I think that it will be an okay semester. But I'm not going to lie, I'm really looking forward to April. Already. I just can't wait until summer arrives! I'm so excited for it. As much as I do enjoy school, it still is school and I do prefer summertime when it's so nice outside, dressing in layers is not necessary, and then I can get a tan!!! Oh well, that'll come soon enough. For now, I'll try to enjoy school and get the most out of it.
Oh, and just in case you're wondering, if a recipe says bake something in a 9x13 pan, listen to the recipe. Don't try to bake it in a 9x9 pan for a longer amount of time. The middle will not be done, and the edges will be burnt. Unfortunately I learned this lesson tonight :(
