Dear Friends,
I do not exactly have anything pressing to blog about but I decided that perhaps it would be therapeutic for me to just write about everyday happenings. So today was Monday… nothing too special occurred. I went to school which was draining, had a serious conversation with someone about why people do not appreciate stalkers and then picked up the children from school (not my children, the ones I babysit daily). The youngest of the three boys decided to spend our entire trip home re-wording Christmas carols to lyrics which always involved my death or serious injury. I then proceeded to aid my infected ear which has become really painful. It all began on a rainy March morning when Tash, Brighid and I woke up without our brains and decided to bus downtown to a demonic piercing shop to get our tragus’ pierced. Do not get me wrong, although it might have been a rather rebellious decision, it grew on me and I like now. All was swell for the first few weeks but the last two days a tiny growth resembling a pimple began to make its home around the entrance wound. I am sorry this is so descriptive and gross. I am almost certain no one wants to know about this but I feel like it is less shocking if you read about it here and then see it versus it just popping up in your line of view.
Tootles!

What's been going on...
So I haven’t really blogged in a while but it is the end of a less-than-great weekend and with nothing better to do I decided to write this post announcing that I leave for Costa Rica in 90 DAYS! That is 3 months people (I say people assuming that more than one person reads this… if not, no loss). When I really think about it 90 days is not that long of a time. I feel like there is so much I have to and want to do before I leave. There’s grad of course, but there is also so much more I want to do and so many people that I want to spend as much time as possible with before I go. I am so excited and I believe that it will be really good for me to be going away. I have been looking at my fellow classmates and they are all from different parts of the world which will be so cool. I don’t know if there will be much to miss about rainy Vancouver once I am living on those sandy Costa Rican shores.

25 random things you might or might not want to know…
1. I love ironing and if it was an admirable and high paying career I would be a professional ironer.
2. I dislike cherries from an unfortunate childhood incident… yet my favorite flavor of anything is cherry.

4. The only movie that I have ever cried in was The Notebook … even lamer.
5. I love turbulence… not lame, awesome.
6. I am afraid of aliens and once called Jen late at night in order for her to convince me of their non-existence.
