    Hey
    So, School has started. I actually made it to my first class today, found out in short order that it will probably rape me up the ass...but oh well, what can you do.
    Moved into my apartment on Saturday, it's finally beginning to feel like home(it's so cute, I encourage all who can to come visit)
    So far I have seen almost all my friends, I'll see the rest of my music friends tonight...looking forward to that!
    I miss Nik like crazy, I was planning a trip to go visit him this semester, but I received my OSAP funding today and realized that it was not a possibility, so hopefully it will work out next semester. I mean there's only about 16 weeks til Christmas. That's doable(but will most likely be the longest 16 weeks of my life...oh well)
    Anyway, That my friends is my random post...considering it's been almost a year since my last post..I hope you enjoyed.


    Lots of Love,
    Shan

    I Hate School
    So, I have so much work due in the next two weeks, and I'm going home next weekend to play in the bonspiel so chances are I'll get nothing done that weekend. The plan was to get it all done this weekend..but so far I've only completed one page of my 10page history essay. Had plans of finishing it last night but I got drunk with the roomies instead. I had also planned to finish it today, but I slept til 3 then watched curling and I'm heading to Sheila's tonight to drink some more. (I'm a raging alcoholic).
    Hopefully I can get it done tomorrow afternoon...or I'm screwed...but it's St.Patty's Day and I'm getting drunk..so at this moment I don't really care.

    Later.

    P.S if anyone has some useful information about Robert or Clara Schumann...that would be most useful:)

    Trip
    It's now Saturday morning and I am officially back in Thunder Bay. I got back from my trip at about 11pm last night. To sum it up in one word, my trip was AMAZING...I didn't want to leave.
    Toronto was fun, it was nice to see the family again.Did a lot of shopping, and I went rock climbing for the first time in my life. It was really fun..but I think I fucked up my back for the rest of the week, but it was worth the pain.
    Sunday afternoon I headed off to Hamilton, I was extremely skeptical to go because of how things had been with Nik and I lately. We got there around noon and Nik was outside waiting for me. Things were extremely awkward at first, but that quickly changed. We watched Saw 2 and suddenly we started talking as if we had never left each other.
    While I was there we watched a crap load of movies, we went shopping(Nik bought me a rose:)) we went out for dinner twice...and went for many long walks. It was more than I could ever ask for. I REALLY REALLY didn't want to leave.
    Oh well, only like 10 more weeks til we're together again, and while we were there we were talking about the future, amd still being together in the summer..so that made me happy! But these are going to be the longest 10 weeks of my life.
    Anyway..just thought I'd tell you all about my trip...regardless if you care or not.

    P.S. She..Hurry up and get back to T-Bay!!! I miss you..It's been too long!!!

    Are All Men Assholes??
    So yeah, I'm pretty sure my relationship is coming to an end once again. I found out yesterday that Nik blocked me from msn and he no longer returns my calls. This is all happening at quite the opportune time as well, considering I was to go visit him in a week!
    So I've decided that if the fucker ever calls me back, I am ending it..unless he has one damn good reason for being the way he has been lately.

    Sorry for the rant. I've just been really upset...and needed to vent.

    I Hate Stupid Drivers!!
    So today I was driving down the street, on my way to get myself a cup of coffee before class..When this absolute asshole pulls right out in-fromt of me!!! I slammed on my breaks and because it was pouring rain I hidroplaned all over and into the second lane of traffic. Luckily there was no one else in the other lane or else my car would be totalled.. and most likely me too! I was not impressed!!! Hence why the driver in the other car got a taste of my horn and got acquainted with my middle finger...I know I know...Road Rage doesn't solve anything..but god damn I was mad...I mean I could have been killed because this bastard didn't feel the need to check both ways beefore pulling into on-coming traffic.
    Anyway..I just had to vent...
    Love y'all

    School So Far...
    Well, It's been a while since my last update..like 4 months to be exact... but oh well.
    Umm, so I'm back at good ol' LU..and I'm loving it this year. Living with my brother is going better than expected, who knew we could get along. School this semester is so easy..I only have like 12hours of class total.
    I went to my first voice lesson the other day, and my voice teacher told me that I may be singing the lead role in an opera that we are putting on at the end of the year!!! I was sooooooo excited.

    Umm, turned 19 the other day. Went home for my b-day...Had an AMAZING time..Andy took me to the bar. I got hit on by like 3 guys, but I'm so oblivious when it comes to these things that I didn't realize that they were actually intereseted in me, til Andy took me aside and actually informed that I was really "picking up", so that was a highlight.
    Going to my first Pub Night on thurs...Can't wait for that!!! It's gonna be amazing, then heading home the next day at friggen 7am to babysit..it kinda sucks but I'm making 300$ for a day and a half of work...so it all works out in the end...

    I know I'm missing a whole bunch of info...but I'll try to update more often I promise..

    The Weekend
    So..Ben and I arrived home at around 1pm on Friday afternoon, and when we got there Brad was there to pick us up. We then went to my house and settled in before our first curling game.
    We went to the curling club for 7:00 and had to curl at 7:30. We played a good game and in the end ended up winning...even though I played like shit and only made one decent shot. After the game Brad Ben and I went back to my place and shortly after Andy Caroline and Chelsea came over. We then called Monica and she came over with Patrick and Robin. We all sat around drinking with my brothers and his friends. After a while my party kinda died down due to the fact that Mon Patrick and I had to get up for 930 in order to be at the club for 1030. So Brad Chelsea and Andy took off to another party and Mon Patrick and I retired to bed at about 3am.
    The next day we awoke from our 5 hour sleep...and Mon and I went downstairs to wake up Ben,who the night before had passed out on my couch. And my mature 20 year old brother and 15 year old brother and his friends drew penis' all over his face and did other such things. I expected to find him pissed off with me...but he took it in good humour thank god.
    We got to the club at about 1030, thinking that we had to curl at 1100 as it had been scheduled but it had been postponed a half hour. So we were able to go to Timmy's and grab a coffee, went back to the club and curled the most hard core team in the entire bonspeil...they kicked our ass 14-2. But we had fun...at least I did...even after I was demoted..lol.
    After we were slaughtered by this team..we decided it would be fun to curl the next game looking like retards. In order to accomplish such a feat we went shopping at Walmart. Our final outfits consited of the following...Me-White Lakehead Sweater, Black Leggings, Floral pyjama pants on top of leggings and bright pink socks pulled up on-top of the pants(it was hot) Cap-Black Sweater, Grey Leggings, Striped pyjama pants,and blue socks pulled on-top of her pants(also very hot) Ben-normal curling clothes..BUT...silk sponge bob boxers on-top...and Patrick-normal curling clothes..BUT...bright yellow boxers with ducks on them...Needless to say this was Cap and I's idea..but there was no way we were doing it alone so we dragged the boys along with us. It was fun...we were the talk of the rink for that game.
    After we played our next game, which was another humiliation...13-3 to be exact...we went home and prepared ourselves for the dance. We went to the dance, I met up with Kristen Dykalski who I have not talked to in months so that was a good time. The dinner was just alright..really not worth 22$ and the dance fuckin sucked..this year they had a live band...and all the songs were old and non-dancable...I was not impressed. So we left an hour into the dance and went to my place to watch the Village. It was an ok movie..but I was so exhausted I fell asleep through most of it. Everyone but Brad and Ben left at like 3am..and then shortly after I went to bed.
    The next day was a very busy day, but slightly boring...so I won't bore you anymore with any of the details.
    I left for Thunder Bay at about 830 Dryden time and got here last nite at about 1:00..It seems almost pointless to be back here for 6 classes and then be back to Dryden for 4 more days...but oh well...I'll just have to suffer through it I guess.
    Anyhoo...that's about all I have to say....sorry about the pointless ramblings...but I am supposed to be writing an essay at the moment and this is one of my procrastination techniques.
    Take Care All.

    Who The Fuck Does That???
    So, I've officially decided I hate residence life. I thought at one point that it was getting better, but our house has run into some problems these past few months. It turns out that we have a fuckin theif in our midst, I mean this is my home...am I not supposed to feel safe in my own space??? Should I not be able to leave my room and not have to worry about my money going missing or my valued possessions.
    Just to let you guys in on the situation, in the past two months our house has lost 280$ from our house clothing money(this is money that each of us has given to our house president in order to buy clothes) it was stolen from her room the other day...so now we have a dept to pay to the company who made our clothes and no way to pay them. So now we have to pay this dept out of our house funds..which will leave us with a whopping total of 9$ to survive the rest of this month...Personally I find this to be soooo fuckin gay!!!
    When I payed the upfront cost for residence I did not expect to have to pay off a dept because some retard can't keep their hands off of other peoples possessions...I was under the impression that this money was to be used for fun activities for the whole house...I just don't think this is right.
    Anyways...sorry about the rant.

    WHAT A DAY
    This weekend was interesting to say the least. Friday night I got home at around 6:30 and it was a mad rush from the moment I stepped off the bus until I got to the Agricultural Complex at 7:30. I had to go home and have some dinner, I was supposed to go visit Andy at Pizza Hut, but due to a lack of vehicle that was impossible. So I ate some dinner, ran through my song a few times for my momma, and headed off to sound check. I was under the impression that it would only take half an hour at most. Oh man was I ever wrong. I sat there all by lonesome for an hour at least, and judged the competition(there were some damn good singers, so with each one I got more and more nervous) Eventually my cell rang and it was Mon on the other end! She agreed to come keep me company. When she arrived we sat around for another half hour, when finally it was my turn. At this point I was so nervous I forgot my words..God I felt so stupid..so needless to say the first run through of the song went shitty...the second was not too bad..I missed an entry, and the band wouldn't let me go over it again...I was pissed..but oh well.
    The next day I slept in, I should have got up early to write my essay, but I didn't! When I finally got up, I had some errands to run so I did that..came back home spent time with my momma...then it was time to get ready for the concert. At around 6:15 I headed out to Rotary Center Stage. When it came time to do my set, I was so nervous(I'm not too sure why, I've performed infront of big crowds before) but anyway, my leg wouldn't stop shaking..I thought for sure I was gonna fall flat on my ass. But I got through it..And then waited around for another 2 hours to find out whether I had won or not. In the end it turns out I did not win. But the people who did certainly deserved it.. The standings were as follows for those who care...1st: some chick from Emo. 2nd: Kori Kameda 3rd: Charity Alverson. All in all though it was a really fun night.
    The next day I almost missed my bus, cause I slept in til 11:30..my ma didn't wake me up cause she was mad at me(I'm not sure why) but I had to be at the bus station for 12:40, I still had to drop off my car..pack..and clean my room. Needless to say we got to the bus station at 12:35. My mom still being mad at me, dropped me off and left me there. When I went in to get my ticket the bus man told me that my bus was at least 3 hours late!!! So I was stranded at the bus station..I didn't want to call my mom cause she was mad...so I sat there for like half an hour and tried to read religion cause I had to write an essay. I was unable to read it though cause people kept talking to me. So I gave in after a while and called my mom back. She reluctantly came to pick me up. We started talking, worked things out..and all was good..which is good cause I didn't want to leave knowing my mom was mad at me. When I arrived home once again, I helped Darian fix his snowmachine, and in turn he made me french toast while I wrote my essay...What a good kid! I finally finished my beast of an essay, helped my mom out around the house...And then spent some quality time with her. I called the bus station back at around 4pm when they informed me that the bus was going to be an additional hour late!!! SO my ma and I decided we were gonna go there for 5:15. Once we got there we were reassured that the bus would be there any minute..so my mom took off, while I went to get some dinner. The bus pulled in at around 5:20...but little did we know that somewhere between Kenora and Dryden there was a domestic dispute..and the police were called. Due to this no one was allowed on the bus til they had figured out what the hell had gone on...we were finally able to board the bus at 6:15. And with my luck the only open seat was infront of two high school delinquants...that did nothing but talk about sex the entire trip..I know what your thinking...why didn't you listen to you music? believe me the thought crossed my mind many times..but before we even hit Wabigoon my batteries died. My God it was quite the trip! I've decided I am never EVER taking the bus again!!!
    Well that's about all I have to say about my weekend..and my crazy day yesterday..
    Take Care All...

    Life in General
    It's Thursday Afternoon, and I just awoke. I was supposed to go to aural skills this morning...but I really can't seem to get myself out of bed to go to class for an hour, just to listen to my prof bang out notes on the piano and have us sing them back to her...Does that seem pointless to anyone else or just me?
    I should start my day relatively soon though, I have to find someone to accompany me to the Agora so that I can get myself immunized for meningitis(not looking forward to that.) After I do that I should probably come back here and start my essay on the religion of Shinto...I have no idea what I am doing, and it's due by next Wednesday...I really hope I get the bugger done. It only has to be 4-5 pages(my shortest essay so far) and it doesn't even have to be typed. So I'm thinkin I'm gonna write it on the bus on the way back to DRYDEN!!!
    That's right!! I finally get to go home this weekend..this has been the longest stretch of me being here so far...it's really quite sad that it's only been 3 weeks, but oh well.
    Once in Dryden, it's gonna be an interesting weekend, I'm pretty sure it's gonna fly by. I arrive at 5:30ish...if my bus is on time..which they usually aren't. I then have a practice with the band for Rotary Center Stage, AND THEN I GET TO HANG OUT WITH MY MONI!!!!
    Saturday is gonna be a busy day..I should get up early...although that probably won't happen...I should finish my essay, surprise Cap some time at the rink...practice singing at some point, considering I have to perform that night. I hope I still have a voice on Saturday, I woke up with a cold and sore throat this morning. I wasn't too happy about that. I'm really nervous about Saturday, I've never really sang in a competition before, and the song I am singing is horrible...it doesn't suit my voice at all...Oh well I'll just have to do my best I guess and see what happens.
    Sunday it will be back to T-Bay on the bus, and virtually the end of my fun until I return home again the next weekend....When I believe I am going home once again..it's either then or the weekend after.
    Anyway...that's basically what is going on in my life at the moment...Not very exciting I know...But I was told to post(Sheila this is for you)
    Hope everyone is doing well...
    Miss You All..
