so sleepy...

So probably for the bulk of this term, I will be up early/late on Wednesdays and Thursday to prep for my lab on Thursdays. It seems no matter what I do or how early I start, the exercises are designed to take right up until I have to go :|

Anyhow, just wanted to do a morning post to complain about labs... That's all, really.

Hope you are all doing well :) and such.

One stress point

I think I am kind of addicted to stress or something... I always seem to find SOMETHING to stress about. Currently, it's one of my lab courses. Last week, I spent all of Wednesday plus Thursday morning working on my lab assignment and prelab... I even missed a class! :( I really really hate missing class...

Anyhow not much happening here. No matter what I do, I always seem to keep busy (which may or may not be a good thing). I have to do research for one of my lab courses tonight because I have a lab meeting tomorrow, and I also have to write a lab report for the lab I did last week, do the prelab readings and questions for my lab on Thursday and do a prelab quiz before Thursday too... :|

Aaron, you were really good yesterday. Even though I was copying notes, I was still paying attention (somewhat). Dan said your voice seems stronger, and I thought you were especially strong on your first couple songs :)

Mmmm well what else? I joined the Science Co-op club at UBC... I am not really sure what that means since I just attended two meetings (I missed the first one) and havent' done anything. They are doing an icebreaker/end-of-new-co-op-students'-workshops social in mid-November though and I emailed the president of the club (she is basically the only person in the club I know since I met her while doing the co-op q&a thing I did) and told her I could do the PR stuff... But honestly I have no idea what I am doing. It kind of freaks me out... This is like the major event for the club (we are only doing 3 events this term, I think so yeah) --it's a really small club -- but yeah anyways I am just scared if no one shows up or something :(

Oh, also my dad got a new car... Kind of random. Our poor van was dying :( so he traded it in. He was afraid in the winter, it would be especially hard on the van and it would die on the highway or something...

Hmm I think that's all that's new, really. Hope you guys are doing well :) I am going to go back to my reading for my prelab :P

Talk to you later,
Chels

Hurrying along

Happy (late...) Birthday, Ann!!!! I was totally going to send you a text or call you yesterday (I was reminding myself this whole week) but the one day I forget! Argh! Any further developments as for next week and your birthday plans? I looked up some go karts around the area and two are in Richmond and both are kinda hard to get to... hmm. It's up to you!

Almost done my demo! Gotta spend some time mass-producing CD's for Monday too. Excited!!!

Hmm... not much else to say. Doing some more filming tomorrow for what will most likely be the last video with Lulu (finally!!!! I don't have anything against her or the project but I really think it's time the project was over -- I need a break). I also spent the day uploading last Monday's show onto the Mac at YouthCO but for some reason, it wouldn't upload onto youtube. I brought my hard drive with me to put the videos on but it's not Mac compatible, as I had feared. Still, I had my flash drive with me just in case, but it's only 2 GB so I was only able to fit one video on it. :( Anyhoo, after shooting tomorrow, I'll need to return the camera to YouthCO and maybe get to transfer my videos onto my computer then.

Yup. Who's coming to my show on Monday? Same time, same place. It'll be super fantastic awesome!

i didn't know you moved too chels, is it to the apartment at ubc that your parents bought? you can be neighbour buddies with joanne if she still lives at the same place..i have not heard from her in forever. i have skeptical paranoid feelings about sleeping here (mom's new place) too. its especially weird when you wake up in the morning and you're not really awake and you think your bed is where it was in your old room and you're like 'why am i facing this direction and the door is over there??'

as for my birthday proceedings i appreciate all your inputs..go carting sounds very interesting i just have to look into it some more. it will most likely be on thurs or fri unless i ask some time off work. but my mom is going away for a week on october 3rd, so i was thinking of withholding high maintenance bday plans until i have the apartment to myself then.

aaron ch-ch-chan! i just felt like typing that. i hear you have plans to perform tonight, i will try to be there or i will try to be square. and yes i have clean underwear a-plenty.

if joanne is reading this, you're invited to my birthday (whenever and whatever i decide to do things) and so are you lily, if that wasn't obvious.

alrighty, i'll keep you guys posted :)

New home

Hey everyone,

It was my first night sleeping in the apartment last night. It was okay but I am kind of really paranoid about sleeping in new places. I am sure it happens with everyone to some extent, but it's just like, new place, new sounds, new feelings... I can just tell I am in a different place and sometimes the floorboards creak differently or something and it feels weird. But I just have to get used to it. When I get new roommates, I get really suspicious... It's actually kind of funny if you're not me. But I just keep imagining them creeping on me in the middle of the night and like, making plans to murder me :P Just because they can. Anyways, don't think I'm crazy. I don't think I am... Just don't like adjusting to new things like this. Probably took me 2 weeks to get used to Miao as a roommate.

Anyhow I am happy because all my classes are in the Macmillan (except one, which is in the Hugh Dempster building, which is like 2 mins away across the road) which, although somewhat far from main campus and the bus loop, etc, is very close to the apartment.

Eating Two Scoops Raisin Bran for breakfast.

Need to iron dress and hem some pants... Hrmm... Need to find out where iron is hiding...

Hey Ann: Sounds good to me... Do you mean pizza? Because that sounds tasty. Though I doubt you will enjoy it :| since you said you were sick of it. Will we (I guess by "we" I mean Aaron (and Joanne?) and I) be making a trip to good ol' Burnaby? ONE WEEK until your birthday! :)

Aarie: Well you didn't quite forget so you still have time to do something for her birthday (like you said, you and Maggie are getting a cake) so it's not really that bad... Also, why did you have a bad day? :(

This week is going to be very busy for me. I somewhat finished moving (but not unpacking whatsoever) and have too many things on my To Do list... Augh and I have an assignment due tomorrow and I'm not even half done... Dammittttttt... :| I think I am lazy from not having homework for 8 months hahaha :P

Anyhow, Aarie, I can hang out on Friday!

And Lily, see you soon!

And Ann, make birthday plans! I can help if you want!

-Chels :)

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

hey aaron,
i'm really busy right now. My sister's wedding is this sat and I'm behind in my school so i'm going to pass on your event. my dad will still be town on that day so i should spend more time with him. Sorry.

lily

Beat goes on...

Thanks again for looking for that textbook for me, Ann. I googled the web enough to find all the answers, so everything is mostly good. Do you have clean underwear now?

Oh yeah, birthday plans! I thought you wanted to do something different this year, Ann -- remember how I suggested go karts and you expressed enthusiasm for it? But it's your birthday and we can do whatever you want... even having to eat your food...... again................ raw pancakes!!!

Anyhoo, it's my mom's birthday today and I sort of forgot... but it's not too late, really. My sister (Florence) reminded me and I realized that I think my mom wanted to go out for dinner at a local place but I didn't want to, which she interpreted as that I didn't want to go out for dinner (I just didn't want to go to that specific place). And when I asked what was going on for dinner, she said I said I didn't want to go anymore, which wasn't true. I asked if she still wanted to go and she didn't say anything, just ignored me. So I ended up making my own dinner.

I feel kind of bad because I almost forgot, but Maggie and I are planning on getting her a cake tomorrow, and since I finish school at 12:20 tomorrow maybe I'll take her out for lunch. I think I'll do that.

Sigh... I had kind of a bad day yesterday but it would take a while to type it out.

Lily: What're you doing this Friday? Can you come to my show next Monday?

I've finally gotten back to work on my demo again. It'll be ready by my show on the 28th at which point you guys (who come to my show) can help give them out to people who may want a copy. Hooray! I can't wait.

movin' on up

for those of you who have never experienced it, moving is a pain. i have no utensils, furniture (except for 3 butt pillows side by side which i call the "couch")..clean underwear (tmi?) and my giant tv has been given away :( also you don't realize how much junk you've been hoarding over the years until you have to throw it away.

my neighbours are having a birthday party i can hear them singing. speaking of which, i've decided on my birthday, i really want to cook for you guys again and redeem myself. this year it will be a meal made from scratch from the loving hands of ann :)
lastly, according to aaron's rules i owe the blog about 200 pictures. well, here's a start,

turtles in mexico, random beach in mexico, and me eating cake on my last birthday

Ugh... the worst feeling in the world

Hey Chels,

I'm actually a little sick today. Yesterday, I had a sore throat and although it's pretty much gone, I have a stuffy nose. My mom brought me to the doctor, just in case it might be something more, but the doctor said I just have regular human flu, not swine flu. I feel alright now, but depending on how I am tomorrow, I may or may not be able to go PG. :( Plus, I don't know if you'd wanna hang out with me when I'm sick... What are you going to check out at PG?

We actually do get agendas! I saw a sign outside the student union about agendas but they're not yet. Langara isn't as cheap as I thought!

Thanks for coming to my screening, guys! (Thanks for you comment too, Lily) It means a lot. The website is finally up too! here it is: http://www.playing-it-safe.nfb.ca/ The project is also featured in an article in the Westender newspaper as well as a picture of all of us, but none of my words got in the article. Oh well. It's all about the project, not me.

How was everyone's first day of classes?

I think I told most of you guys already, but just in case I didn't, I'm playing 2 shows this month; one on the 21st and the other next week, on the 28th. Both are going to be at the Tipper restaurant, which is on Kingsway and Victoria Drive. The show starts at 8pm, and admission is $5. Me and Chels made a video too!



I should get some sleep. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.



Aaron
I hope you all have a wonderful night and an even better day! <3
Aaron, great film! I'm very proud! :)

So many posts!

Hey all,

Aarie: sure, also I was thinking of visiting Point Grey sometime soon since I have not gone there since... Provincial exams? Or something? Anyways, I just remembered something in the halls that I wanted to look at so maybe we could drop by?

Ack! First day of school tomorrow! I am still sorting out the stuff I brought back from Penticton (about 2/7 suitcases done...) so I am kind of annoyed at myself since I still have to do the remaining 5 suitcases, clean up my room, and move to the apartment :P :| Urgh.

Anyhow, my classes don't start until 11 on Monday and Wednesday and not until 10:30 on Tuesday and Thursday, so I don't have very early mornings... which I like :) hee hee hee... I actually like waking up early when I have later classes to stretch and get ready slowly and review a bit. I hate waking up for early classes and rushing :P Also, as previously stated in person, I have no school on Friday! :) Yay!

So Dan's parents came back from Ontario yesterday. Dan and I picked them up from the airport. They seemed glad to be home... I think they were really busy in Toronto/Kingston helping Dan's brother and Dan's dad's family.

Lily: sorry I forgot to remind you to bring home your Greek food :( I forgot it was in Aaron's fridge. At least Aaron didn't waste it? Had fun on Saturday with you and Joyce :)

Ann: GASP POSTING!

OMG I just went on UBC SSC (ummm it's like where all our student info is... You can pay fees online here and register for courses... etc) to look at my timetable (I have not looked at it since I registered :P Or at least not for a long time...) and it occured to me that by now, there might be some online course stuff (I looked before but nothing was up)... And now there is so much info for all my courses! I am so excited/scared/overwhelmed! And I still have to unpack! Augh!

Hope you guys are enjoying the last day off (not sure about Ann and Aaron... like, when your last day of vacation is...)!

-Chels
PS- I totally forgot about the science wing and breezeway etc until just now when my mom was talking about Jeffrey's science class...

Ohhhh yeah!


I did post that picture! (in May) I thought it looked familiar with the background...

Here's another picture then! (Alexandre Despatie being super hot as usual)

Oh, and as a random thing, I applied for a job at a bubble tea place on Robson street. I doubt they'll hire me, but it's worth a shot!

Two days to go

Lily: I ate the Greek food for dinner today. It was pretty good. :)

Ann: I wish the whole night was dedicated to me and my films but I don't think I even have an hour of films to show. It's going to feature my films and films from the other groups from the project. I sent you that e-mail and the details! Did you not get it? I hope you can make it!

Also, you have classes so late! That's no fun.

Joanne: if you're reading this, did you get my e-mail about Tuesday?

Chels: I don't really have much to say... wanna hang out on Friday, since you have no classes?


Chels and I were going over the earliest posts and apparently, I had made a rule about how we were supposed to post at least 3 pictures a month, so here's my first contribution for September. I don't know if you guys have seen it but it's from my birthday last year... wow, it's been that long. Hmm.

Anyhoo, I'll see you guys on Tuesday!


Aaron
by tommorrow i mean tuesday..

ann's very short post after a long period of no posts

i appear to have class from 530-820pm on tuesday :p i'll try to leave early cause first week isn't that important anyway. question, is the whole screening devoted to your doc aaron?

see you all tommorrow :)

ann
hey aaron,
I just rsvped. The greek food you can eat or just throw it out.

Lily

Saturday, September 05, 2009

Things that are now MINE!

Lily: You left your Greek stuff in my fridge! What should I do with it? Also, I checked my e-mail and I DID send you the e-mail of the details on the upcoming screening on Tuesday to lilyvan88@hotmail.com. Is there another e-mail address you use more often?

Ann: You left your Cardcaptors tape in my house! Now I'm going to watch it over and over because I have nothing better to do.

Chels: You left... nothing. Thanks for linking the video we made to my facebook event page (it already has 2 ratings! What???)

Ann and Lily: I don't believe you guys have RSVP'ed for the screening on Tuesday, have you? I know Lily definitely hasn't... anyway, if you haven't, just send an e-mail to
hywelt@youthco.org and everything will be good. I don't think it's absolutely necessary to do it, but we just want a projected number to see how many people might show up.

I'm really excited about Tuesday. Refreshments!

New post for Lily!

Hey Lily again!

I called Aaron and Ann and they both say meeting at Aaron's at 4pm is good :) Are you going to be at school? Dan is working tomorrow until 3pm so if you want maybe you guys can drive together to Aarie's? If you want?

Btw have you finished with Flight of the Conchords? Would you mind bringing it tomorrow? I can bring another copy (Dan's friend gave it to us before and I forgot about it) if you're not done with it yet..?

That's about it... Have fun at your Pharm stuff and see you tomorrow :) I am excited!

-Chels

Message for Lily!

Hey Lily,

Dan says he has two hoses, one is ~25 feet, he thinks. The other is very long...

Anyhow, he said it's fine if you borrow one :) so go ahead and book the sink! Just remind me to bring it when the time comes. What time do you want me there on Tues, btw? 11?

Still have to call Aarie/Ann. If either of you (Aarie/Ann) read this, is 4pm at Aaron's good? If not, I will call you later...

Lily, I'll post again or give you a call to update!

Glad you're back home too :)
