So starting tomorrow I'm basically just going to isolate myself from everyone and everything as much as possible just to study and get things done.
The destination of isolation will be in an undisclosed location so as to keep the readers of this blog (however sparse) on the dl so that they don't find out where I am.
Anyhow the night beckons me into my bed.
Goodnight world.

new year .
So I read my resolutions from last year and I've decided I don't believe in New Years Resolutions.
Seriously they're so pointless and you never end up sticking to them.
I feel like now people only do them now to say that they've made them not necessarily because they seriously have any intention of doing anything remotely related to fulfilling the goal itself.
My Christmas was good;
I ate tonnes and gained at least five pounds and I seriously look like a pregnant woman.
It's sad.
But I got to see my friends and family and I feel like I seriously needed that, too see them I mean.
It was refreshing and got me reflecting on a lot of things like how people change and you just kind of take it for granted until you're face-to-face with them again
like that guy you were best friends with back in high school or that girl who was really quiet
or your sister.
Listening to Janelle Monae a lot these days.
Well not all her stuff
just her more recent songs like Tightrope and Cold War.
Cold War especially speaks to me in volumes and has seriously brought about at least two or three thinking sessions about what I'm fighting for...
Listen to the song to see what I mean haha.

almost there .
T-minus 23 hours and 49 minutes till my ecology exam.
I should definitely be studying my butt off but instead I find myself at Taylor after Harvest's Christmas service sipping a large double-double from Tim Horton's and, dare-I-say-it ... RELAXING.
I really need to shave and get a hair cut.
I plan to look a lot cleaner once this exam is behind me.
I promise.
See you in about a day.

procrastination .
So it's Wednesday.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were 'Snow Days'.
All classes and exams at UWO were cancelled.
To be honest I feel like I should've made better use of my time because I don't think I've gotten nearly as much done as I hoped.
I think I'm deferring my Sunday exam to January because of church which is interesting.
It's definitely a relief in that I won't be having like a nervous breakdown due to three exams in a row and also because it IS organic chemistry which is like the horror of my life right now
but it's also kind of a weird feeling because I don't know how I feel about having an exam still hanging over me during Christmas.
It's not even for certain yet because I still need to make a trip to the Dean's Office to request a deferral.
We'll see how it goes ...
Monday was the most productive snow day.
I sat in my friend's living room and just worked nonstop because she was there to pretty much keep me accountable
but yesterday, when I was literally stranded due to the 106 cm of snow on the sidewalk,
I think I pretty much tried to find any excuse to not study...
Like cleaning my room
Or making food
Or something else completely unnecessary... (like scrubbing the toilet)
Despite all the unnecessary action, I did do some work though.
Today was just a big dip in the productivity graph.
I got up at like 3:30PM because I was skype-ing with my friend last night until like 4AM
and then I made a dunch (dinner-lunch) for myself of instant jajangmyun (Korean noodles) and just youtube'd until I felt really guilty (around 6) and started doing my evolution reading.
Which is what I've been doing until my mischievous fingers found my macbook and found their way here.
Time to go back to reading...

confessions on betty&allyn's ground floor
Reading my last entry over tonight is kind of blah.
The night was definitely more than 'off-the-hook'. Sometimes my idioms make me cringe.
It's sad.
I'm kind of sick and it's gross.
My nose is stuffy sometimes and my sinuses are clogged always.
My snot is like opaque and my throat feels like its covered in sandpaper
but I am getting better
which is good.
Currently studying on the Ground Floor of Taylor Library.
Actually kind of proud of my accomplishments.
Today I finished a Biochem assignment, finished two topics of Biochem exam study and am currently working on finished up a chapter of this pesky Evolution.
After this I plan on starting my Ecology Assignment and preparing for KCF Small Group discussion which is tomorrow.
Tea has been saving my life these past couple of days.
Earl Grey has been a dear friend of mine since that fateful day in Grade 9 when I discovered it in the pantry and it helped me stay up for that intense Geography test.
Anyhow goodnight.
I feel like this entry was very scatterbrained.

community , exams and future épouse
Frosh dinner was yesterday and, in short, it was a success.
It made me tingle a little bit to see the frosh so integrated into the community and how well everyone was receiving them.
I think one of the goals Nicole and I silently wished in our hearts for the frosh was that they could find their place in this God-loving community and yesterday watching them kind of make the rounds and share laughter with almost every person in the room was pretty off-the-hook.
It's always so excellent to watch upper years take care of the young 'uns too.
Makes me smile because of the fond memories I have of being a frosh and people taking care of me and I know it's just a circle of life.
I think I may just break out into The Lion King Soundtrack at any second.
Today marks my first official day studying for exams.
I feel like I'm kind of already behind the rest of my peers, some of which started making notes as early as two weeks ago.
It makes me nervous but the nice nervous that keeps you on your toes so you're not lazy.
Parents got back from a marriage seminar today that my dad organized for our church.
On their way back from Niagara Falls, they visited me and dropped off my winter coat and a nice scarf from Mexx.
They shared about how one of the exercises for the couples in attendance was to write a letter to their spouse and read it in front of everyone.
I was fascinated by their stories.
When I think about marriage and my future life as a husband and father I think I get kind of excited
but scared at the same time.
And a lot of me wondered what I would've written to my wife
and whether or not I would've read it out in front of all those people
and how I would've felt about it.
I wonder what my wife will be like ...
That being said, I think I'll sign out for today.
Still got this pile of work in front of me that isn't going to shrink if I keep talking about my imaginary wife.

okay , so i wasn't done .
Hello again.
Okay wow this is totally awkward. Let's just jump into it, shall we?
This is my blog.
This is a place where I will kind of be documenting everything.
There is a cathartic blog.
A blog where I scream and yell in text and say all the things you're not supposed to hear.
But this blog isn't for that.
This blog is for me to look back on and be like
"Oh, so that's what I was thinking that day at the hour" etc.
That's not to say this blog won't have posts where I'm rather upset and would like to vent my frustrations.
There are and will be exceptions.
That's also not to say this blog will be a dry timeline of events. (i.e. I walked the dog. I took out the trash. Good night.)
I hope I am not ... nor ever will be ... that boring.
It's Friday night
or rather Saturday morning at 2:25AM.
Should definitely be sleeping.
Tomorrow I need to be at the bank at 9AM
and then at 6:30PM, there will be a dinner.
But not just any dinner
a FROSH dinner for the Korean Christian Fellowship (KCF) frosh.
Something I and Nicole (the 'Frosh Leaders' of KCF) are organizing.
The menu will consist of samgyupsal, lettuce, ssamjang, pa and garlic among other Korean barbecue items.
Needless to say, I am beyond excited.
Why I'm excited can wait till tomorrow.
I feel I am in no state to write a blog entry.
Night.
