The Last Day of Summer

I had one of the best days of my vacation today. I got to do something that I've wanted to do since I was like three years old. I wonder if anyone can guess what it is? Well my day started off going to the museum of fine arts with Chris, his friend Jay and Jay's mom. She gave us a private tour of an exhibit on all the art from a place in France (Provance sp? maybe)from like 1700 till now maybe. It was nice and my two favorite paintings were done by Delacroix and Monet. The Monet one was with a really awesome tree and the Delacroix one was done in like dot art techique and was really kool. So after the museum we went to Jay's mom's art studio and it was amazing! Her own paintings were super nice, especially this one called Indian Summer. The decor inside was also super kool. So after looking around a bit and then eating, guess what I got to do? OMG! I got to play the harp!!!!! For real!!! I've wanted to do that for soo long that when I saw it there I could hardly wai...

Merry Christmas!! I'm loving Christmas this year. It hasn't really officially started but I was so anxious and happy this year that I figured I would write about it. It's been a little while since I've actually looked forward to waking up early on xmas. Ya! I'm happy this year, really happy :D I can't wait to see my little cousin open his presents and for us to play nintendo and stuff tomorrow. Wait until we bust out the Donkey Konga, it's gonna be sweet! I get to see lots of the people I love on the holidays so yay! Not that I don't see them otherwise, but there is just so much more time now and moments to remember. yay christmas!

I had the most awesome driving lesson yet today! Oh man! My instructor was this dude from Switzerland who used to be a race car driver... oh la la. Ya, he was pretty amazing. Really smart actually and a crazy good way of teaching (including throwing himself against the back of the car). He used sports and stuff like that in order to explain some driving concepts. I'm just horrible at checking my blindspots, but I think it is having more than one constant instructor that is screwing me up because they all tell me different things. Like the dude today told me I had good motor skills and that my steering was awesome, like naturally good. The guy i had last time, on the other hand, told me that I have to use hand over hand steering or else it isn't good. And the first guy i ever had told me it was naturally good also. Hmm well i'm gonna listen to the ex race car driver because i'm pretty sure he knows the best method to use to steer. just a hunch.. He said what I do is anot...

OH man!! I have crazy news. Two things: 1. I'm going to be a bridesmaid! I've never been to a wedding/reception so the first wedding I will be going to will be one that i am in. Pretty awesome! Oh, it's my friend Annie that is getting married in August btw. 2. Annie and most of the bridesmaids (me included) are going to the Dominican Republic for a week in february!!! OMG!! ya that's right, beach you better be ready cuz here I come! Omg, i still have never been on a plane! I'm really excited! There is like beach volleyball, spanish language and dance lessons, horseback riding, all free drinks included, pool with bar, beach with bar. AHH!!! it's gonna be nuts!!! Tour of porta plata and ya, a whole bunch of groovy stuff. I'm pretty hyped! that will be all for now.

"To be geisha means a moving work of art" The heart dies a slow death. Hope falling like leaves until there are no hopes left.

I have my second driving lesson today; I get all excited and nervous at the same time. I can't believe I was driving downtown in traffic last time! Last nite I went to my staff x mas party, it was nice to see people but man, the food at 3 amigos is pretty damn awful. Thursday nite I went to a comedy show with Melissa, Kelly and Katie. It was pretty fun but one of the comedians was making fun of us for being young and he even asked me what highschool i went to. eesssh I have to start a 12 page paper (due monday) later today but I have a feeling it is going to go alright. I started the write out in my room last nite and I wrote 2 pages in no time. I guess typed up that might be only one or one and half but we'll see. I think it'll be ok. I'll work on that like crazy today and hopefully get at least halfway done or more. I was thinking of doing my x mas shopping next weekend but I forgot, I'm working. Working for free no less. sat 10-10 and sun 9-4, sleep over thin...

There are some nights you can experience that just feel so right. The perfect combination of friends, stuff to do and perhaps alcohol. You get home and you are just like "wow... i had such a good nite" and you don't even know exactly what it was that made it so good, it just was. It feels surreal, as if maybe none of it just happened. You sit there playing solitaire and you just feel happy. Kind of like living in a dream. Did all of that just happen or was it really a dream? Parts of it may even be fuzzy (either from drinking or just because so much happened). A big event didn't even have to happen, it was just a whole bunch of little things that made it so good. You weren't even really doing anything important. BUt well I guess you were if you get home and you feel so satisfied with your night. (speaking of events, i don't think i've ever seen so many firetrucks in my life as I did on my way home. there was a big fire near the westmount YMCA) It's jus...

I had my first driving lesson with an instructor today. :D It was really really fun. OMG, I drove on real streets, like intersections and everything. DOWNTOWN! how crazy is that? Wow, i was having a lot of fun and then he told me to turn left and all of a sudden we were on a super busy street. I wanted to freak out but I stayed calm and just kept driving. I was alright too, the teacher didn't have to use his break, although he was ready to and some points. Yep yep, he said that I was really good at turning, especially considering it was a first lesson. He said it was impressed. Wo0t w0ot! I guess I have Jess to thank for that because she is the only person i've ever been trying with before. Holy crap tho, I was driving automatic instead of standard and it's such a piece of cake. No shaking the car or stalling.. intense! Still, i like automatic more, more of a challenge and you feel more like a race car driver ;) Right right, so i have to get back to this pain in the ass pa...
