I turned twenty on tuesday. So far, it doesn't seem any different from before, except that now I can look down my nose at teenagers in general. I got the tiniest, cutest digital camera as a birthday gift from my parents (it's a Pentax Optio S6), which is a much-needed replacement to the antiquated brick-like Canon clunker I had before. Because I ( Read more... )

Eric proposed to me on Saturday night!

Ecstatic doesn't even begin to describe how I feel. I'm floating on cloud nine, and I don't think I'll be coming back down anytime soon!

My ring is absolutely stunning – it's from Tiffany, and it's the most perfectly beautiful ring I've ever laid eyes on!

This morning I met with my boss and one of the commerce co-op coordinators for my mid work term evaluation (how can summer break possibly be almost half over already?), and the result of the painfully boring hour-and-a-half long meeting was this ( Read more... )

I keep forgetting to write in this journal. Last night was the first time I even looked at my friends page in well over a month – I've been so caught up in work and life that I don't get to spend much time on the computer anymore ( Read more... )

I'm still loving my job, but I'm not loving the sub-zero temperatures of the office or the way my desk is positioned directly in front of the giant air-conditioning vent. By the end of each day my hands have turned a dusky purple and I can hardly feel my fingers, let along type accurately. My plan of wearing skirts all summer long is quickly ( Read more... )

I'm three days into my new job right now, and so far I'm loving it. I've already gotten over that initial phase of feeling all strange and out of place, and not knowing what to do or how to act. My reputation as alpha web developer and girl geek supreme has already been firmly established among my co-workers, who all are male and appeared somewhat ( Read more... )

My French final is tomorrow at 2:00, and if I said that I was prepared for it, or that I felt even remotely ready for it, that would be a complete lie. I'm worried because I can't seem to make myself remember all those verbs and conjugations and tenses – the subjonctif sends chills down my spine because there's just no room left in my brain for it ( Read more... )

Yeah, it's a survey.
