Stress shall be the death of me

Seriously, someone shoot me...or run me over with a car...or maybe poison me! Anything is better than all this school work!

There are two groups of professors- the ones who think they're doing you a favour by giving you all the assignments/midterms before the break, and there are those who give them to you after.

With my lovely luck, I struck gold and ALL of them stand by the first above mentioned philosophy.
I'm talking midterms the 4th, 10th, 13th, 14th as well as a history paper due the 14th.

And most of them are psych! It's challenging due to the shear amount of information one must learn. It's all names and theories you'll never need to know ever again. My easiest one is stats, only a couple definitions and equations...the math is moronically easy when compared to the crap we must learn in psych. I envy you science/math majors, never having to know the true pain of an Arts program. (Though I acknowledge you feel pain in other ways...ie labs)

However, to the professors, I must ask them- what good is a break if it takes that long for your nerves and sanity to recover?!?

Happy b-day

Happy 20th birthday Phil!



(You can wish him happy b-day in my "comments" if you like!)

Driving Disasters

Well, it's a blimy winter wonderland outside today isn't it? (For those of you not in Ottawa, we've had about 2 feet of snow drop in about half a day, in fact it's still going...)

So I thought since I haven't posted in a week or two, today's as good as any- not because it's snowing but perhaps since I started my day by getting in a car accident.

Okay, let me rephrase I didn't really start my day by getting in a car accident. It's not like I rolled out of bed and was hit by a car. I had gotten up early to do some long-awaited shopping with my mommy.

All was going pretty well, we were driving nice and slow in the snow, but as we were turning a corner, someone hit the car beside us and then ricoched into our bumper. I suppose that was my first official accident- but it was so minor (I'm talking a scratch on the bumper).

However, the story does not end there (or else why would I tell it?). So my mom gets out and talks to the other drivers, making sure everyone is okay- which they were thankfully. But then the guy who hit both our car and the first car, decides he'll just drive away. Yeah, that's not a good plan, because he had caused a fair bit of damage to the first car he hit.

So he basically just left the scene of a crime-he committed. Luckily the girl from the first car got his license plate and the police were called. The officer came within 5-10 minutes which was surprising, especially with the bad weather. (And may I just make a note that it was a young, dreamy constable, who had a good sense of humour...come to think of it, he did leave us his number...)

My mom had to fill out some paper work giving a statement (I had never left the car, so I was no good). Of course there was the fun debate whether the man was east indian, and what regions that actually encompasses. She eventually got a description of some sort down. Oh! I never mentioned how we needed to give the police officer proof of insurance and registration...yah, I open the glove compartment, and there's like milllion bits of paper that could possibly be insurance, but damned if I know! ( We gave the poor man something...I think)

Either way, almost exactly an hour later we were on our way to the shopping mall, making jokes about how my mother should have tried to set the young constable up with me. Shopping wise, I bought a bunch of shirts, and some pull-over type things, so it was found with great success.

On our way home, we saw a bus jack-knifed in one of our lanes, but we couldn't quite figure out what was wrong with it, other then the fact that it was not where it was supposed to be. And when we came home, we learned that my dad had spun out in his car and hit some cement thing (again luckily he wasn't hurt, and neither was the car). As well, as I am writing this blog, I am speaking to my friend who apparently got hit by a car today and has a sprained back.

So, it's pretty bad driving out there today which is odd, because us Canadians...or more so Ottawains should be used to such things, but I guess there will always be those people who drive to fast and don't pay attention. Shame on them!

Oh well...All's well that ends well!

* oh as a side note, they did catch the guy who hit both cars, and apparently officer dreamy is coming over here sometime to close the matter (a.k.a- more paper work!) (a.k.a. where did I put my sexy dress?)


This is actually a real time (more or less) picture of the parliament buildings, I think it refreshes every minute or so..

I think I'm in love...with tv

New House tonight! 9 pm be there or be...somewhere else...

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

School...waaaaa!

Nooooooooo. The dreaded day has finally returned! Yes school is back in full swing once again...or at least for this Wednesday. Since I have my Thursdays and Fridays off this semester, technically the two classes I have today are the extent of my educational training this first week of 2006. It's kinda like a trial run (a very short one mind you).

It's funny, I seem to keep thinking about that commercial on TV. It's the one where all these people are doing normal things and suddenly they smack into a large brick wall (because they haven't eaten all day and were hitting the 3pm "wall"). That's what going to school after a nice christmas break feels like.

Oh well, I hope y'all enjoy returning to school (minus Dave who is just a lucky bum and doesn't start 'till later)
Off to my second class...

*SMACK*!!!!!

son-of-a @#$%#*!@!@#$@.

*cough damn wall*

Happy New Years!

Let me begin by saying HAPPY 2006 everyone! Personally, I feel like I've been living in 2006 for the last 5 months but hey now it's official.

For New Years I went to Casey's. Other than her and myself, there was Neary, Kim and her fiance ..Steve...Jim...John? I honestly forget. After eating, we all sat down for a rousing game of "Simpsons" LIFE. Yeah Neary and I had never played which became quite obvious when I ended up being Mayor Quimby with only a 20,000$ salary and a house that cost 180,000$. I was also the only player who managed to acquire two children ( I later drowned them and my husband in the Springfield river).

We spent half the time talking about men, or other random topics (poor steve...or Tom, men dont like talking about men- who knew?) Neary actually won the game by 20, 000$ (beating steve at the last minute). After that we started watching the thrilling movie D.E.B.S. and eventually we watched the ball drop with Carson Daily.

I slept over at Casey's and in the morning was woken up by her dog trying to break down the bedroom door. Casey made eggs for breakfast which miraculously she didnt burn (hehe neary...). I eventually came home and just crashed. Exciting.

So yeah that was that. I hope the rest of you crazy people didn't get too drunk during the celebrations. *cough* and may I just say Peach Schnapps goes down waaaayy tooo easily...

Anyway, in other news, my House buddy Neil, has left some more excellent House songs which I will now dutifully post. So a big thanks again to Neil....

Take A Pill

(sung to Let It Snow...extended version)

Oh, the pain in your leg is frightful
And your bedside manner spiteful
But since you need to cure the ill
Take a pill! Take a pill! Take a pill!

Now Stacey thinks you're vile
'Cause you snooped in her file
But since she won't say she loves you still
Take a pill! Take a pill! Take a pill!

Now you know you probably shouldn't
Take another Vicoden today
But there's rumor going around
That you and Wilson are gay

So you down a bottle of whiskey
It ain't your fault that Stacey's pissy
'Cause Mark can't fit the bill
Take a pill! Take a pill! Take a pill!

Now we've heard that you and Chase
sent a patient to eternal rest
And you'll need to save your job
Just pry your eyes off Cuddy's chest.

Now we wondered if you were sane
When you jabbed that man with your cane
But House we really love you still
So Take a pill!Take a pill! Take a pill!


Steve The Agouti Rat

(sung to Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer)

Steve the agouti rat
Had a very crooked neck
And if you ever saw it
You would say “What the heck!?”

All of the other rats
Used to tease and give him snark
So poor Steve the agouti rat
Had to move in with Stacey and Mark

Then one sunny, fateful day
Dr. Greg House did come and say
“Steve, with your neck tilted to the right,
Let me fix you up..this just ain't right.”

All the other rats were jealous
Turning green with envy
'Cause Steve the agouti rat
He'll go down in history...
And he's now a star on T.V...
And co-stars with Hugh Laurie...
YEAH!
